FOREST

@β Choi Minho The slightly tanned skin is saturated by the coral, the light hue canvasing the cheeks then gradually spreading all over the beta's face. Seokwoo watched carefully, fairly intrigued and armed with an amused wide grin. Briefly forgotten or ignorant of his presence, the alpha watched the two wolves interact with arms folded in front of his. Only to have his younger brother running to hide behind him and peer his head out slightly to look the the man who'd introduced himself as 'Minho'.

"That man is weird, hyunggie! "
"Yeon-ah." The alpha called reprimandingly while staring down at the younger in feigned anger. "You shouldn't say such things, it's bad.
Well-" his severe expression softens and chest quaked at the erupting burst of chuckles when he mischievously adds, "at least not in front of him. You could have told me when we got home."

He casually lolled his head to the side, dark orbs raking over the male's entire frame hoping for a spark of recollection of recognition but he shrugged nonchalantly when he found none. "Hello. " Seokwoo responded bemused by the sudden timid greeting despite how the man had sassily received him a few minutes ago. The beta was actually embarrassed, he thought, finding amusement at Minho's expense. "Don't mention it. Besides you looked like you were about to pass out from fear. " he playfully teased the male, a gentle hand outstretched to pat the latter tousled hair.

"Klutzy pup who tosses lame jokes, how delightful. " the alpha remarked, his tone deficit of any menace with his tongue darting out to moisten his slightly chapped lips. "My parents named me Seokwoo but simply Seok would suffice. This is my brother, Seoyeon. We are on out way to collect some berries, would you like to join us? "

@Kim Seokwoo The footsteps became louder as they headed towards him at a frightening pace. Minho could only hope to somehow fuse into the tree. There was no running at this point. The beta was bound to be seen. No question of who or what was there. Fingernails dug into the bark of the tree, creating small crescents in the wood while holding his breath. That was until he heard the child-like voice which had his eyes opening in a matter of seconds. Black dots danced across his vision for a moment from how tight he had been squeezing them.

Russet eyes first came in contact the alpha--to which Minho instantly regretted as he watched the man try to hold back the obvious laughter. Heat crept up his neck, coloring smooth cheeks with a tint of pink in embarrassment. “Y-Yah! It’s not funny!” The words came tumbling passed the beta’s lips before he could even think. He glanced down to look away from the man. “How would you feel--” Voice dying down at the sight of the small omega who worked so on getting him out, Minho figuratively melted.

The corners of his lips twitched upward. “Ah! My hero~” Minho knelt down to the small pup’s height with a grateful smile. Resting his arms on bent knees, he leaned forward slightly. “Thank you so much. I owe you.” He stood up, tugging on the soft sweater while turning his torso to inspect the damage. Seeing practically none, the tall man had the sudden urge to hug the life out of his knight and shining armor.

Almost acting on the impulse Minho remembered the laughing alpha. His gaze travelled from the omega back to the man. Rubbing his sleeve in a sheepish manner, he made his way over to him. Height being the first noticeable attribute, Minho was a bit shocked to see the stranger was actually a little bit taller than him. A very rare occurrence. “Hi…” his voice trailed off as he remembered his snappy reply to the other. “Thank you… for helping me.” Undeniably sure his face was similar to the cranberries he had eaten during his adventure, Minho tried to push his mortification to the side. “That was humiliating.” He couldn’t. “I think I would have rather been eaten then caught like that.” He let out a hardy laugh. “I’m Minho, or you know, a person who would rather merge into a tree then run at the face of danger.” He joked about himself with a chuckle.

@β Choi Minho The day is growing old, the golden celestial entity sinking into the earthly embrace with last streaks of light travelling through the boughs of the canopied green ceiling in both brilliant and shadowy beams. The swaying leaves danced in an unheard beat orchestrated by the gentle winds. The air is rich with fragrance of rotting leaves and loam beneath their feet. The birds song is startled by their movements, the red sepia sky announcing of the eminent twilight, to fade in the darkness of the night.

A wave of nostalgia washed over his being, the alpha looked at the hand intertwined with his firmly. The tiny hands that could barely wrap around his fingers were now almost covering his whole hand. However, his brother's innocence and flamboyance hadn't diminished plus it seemed like it never would. "Be careful, Seoyeon." he reminded the younger who almost trip and fell over the exposed root of the tree. The sibling duo maneuver their way through overlyfamiliar path carpeted by virescent moss, bare feet and both male shared an affinity for dark clothes. However, the younger had been wrapped up in much warmer clothes because of his weak immune system. He found himself lost in his ruminations; of all the times when his young, foolish self had hated accepting someone so 'different' as his younger brother.

"Seo yeon! Come back here! " The older male called after the escaping omega loudly singing 'huckleberries!Yum,yum~~' while running towards direction where he'd picked up the scent of the food.

"Seokkie hyung~ Look there is something here! " The boy called and the mentioned man felt his heartbeat quickening. That 'something' could be anything, a beastly predator which could possibly hurt his brother. "Yeon-ah! Stay back, let hyun-uh? "the urgency in his voice reduces to confusion upon settling his gaze on the male caught up in the branches and if the scent was of any indication, the tall beta was from their pack.

"Yeon-ah, go help him. " The pup nodded obediently, bouncing on his heels while marching towards the captured man. With brow furrowed in concentration, he diligently worked to help him while the alpha was biting down on his bottom lip stifling the rising laughter.


[]Don't worry about it. XD

@Kim Seokwoo [I'M SORRY ITS SO LONG]

Birds chirped an evening song, leaves rustled in their fight against the breeze, twigs snapped underneath the sole of black boots; it was the resonance of the forest which had the tall beta in complete awe. The man had twenty-four years of experience under his belt, but the forest was still a mystery to him. Never having to have been out as far as he had made it today, it was as though the more distance made the more breathtaking nature presented itself.

A hand brushed against the coffee-colored bark, fingertips kissing the wood of a great oak tree. This was exactly what the beta needed. A break from the everyday hustle and bustle. A moment to himself. Life seemed to be travelling too fast for the male. The days blurred together into one giant memory.

Sighing softly while pivoting on the heels, Minho pressed his back against the large trunk. A small part of him felt guilty for the pleasure he felt at the moment. When was the last time he had been able to say his thoughts hadn’t wandered into the dimmed corner of his mind when surrounded by silence?

Minho leaned his head back, beige lids falling shut while every muscle in his body slowly relaxed. Resting his right hand against his forearm, Minho curled his fingers into the soft fabric of his favorite sweater. “Everyone deserves a break,” he reminded himself until the loud snap of a branch caught his ears.

Heart pounding against his chest, Minho nearly jumped out of his skin at the sudden noise. With a push of his body, he moved himself from the tree, but soon found himself back in the position. “,” he hissed under his breath at the realization of his snagged shirt.

The logical thing should have been to run. Say ‘screw the sweater’, but the beta had an attachment to the fabric of clothing. No matter what was lurking within the dense forest, he wouldn’t--no, couldn’t ruin it. He pressed himself closer to the bark of the tree, feeling it scrape against soft palms. He fingers trembled at the thought of it being a human and shut his eyes tightly while willing the unknown away.

@ω Kim Taehyung yoongi couldn't help the fond smile that pulled at his lips as the younger male climbed
into his lap. it used to be a complex, the way taehyung had grown to be taller than yoongi,
but he'd learned quite quickly that it didn't hinder their dynamics in the least. he still loved
doting on tae, he still loved cuddling and snuggling and holding him- it hadn't changed much
of anything other than having to figure out a new position that was comfortable for the both of
them. it was reassuring to his alpha side in a strange rather unwanted way.
"are they? i'd hope so since we've cuddle so damn much over the years."
he offered with a soft chuckle, tucking taehyung into his chest so he could rest his chin lightly overtop the youngers head.

@α Min Yoongi Taehyung had been been wanting this for as long as he could remember,So when the other opened his arms,He gladly climbed into the older males arms and curled up like a puppy around there mother.He always enjoyed cuddles with Yoongi and if he could gladly spend the rest of his life with the male he consider his knight."Okay,Cuddles with you are the best.''

@ω Kim Taehyung yoongi smiled fondly as he followed his childhood friend over to the former's tree of choice, amused by his sudden but welcome urge for cuddles and affection. things with taehyung had always been this way, yoongi having followed taehyung around like a puppy from the time they could both walk. he was, in some sense whipped for his friend, and was very much guilty of doing nearly anything asked of him.
this was no different as he plopped down onto the ground with arms open wide, all too willing to offer cuddles with a wide, gummy smile. "Common, cuddle time."

@Jung Jaehyun A little playful glint lit up in Jungkook's eyes once his gaze met the other's, patting the ground next to him briefly before he cleared his throat slightly. "Jae, come sit here for a bit, I just need to make sure this dries a little then let's go play, ok?" He couldn't wait. Jungkook had been wanting to mess about for a bit and just have fun like a regular wolf would be but instead he was catering to duties. With Jae here, he could slack off a little bit.

@Jeon Jungkook Jaehyun allowed for his instincts to lead him to the other elder, which brought him to the location of the healer's hut that was still in the process of being built. The old one had been a bit too rundown and shabby so they had elected to build up a new one to keep up with the changing tide and be able to cater to more patients than the last had allowed. "Jungkook! I came to you for some assistant to relieve some stress" he called out with the beginning of a smile on his lips once they had made eye contact. They hadn't known each other for long but they got along great and had been spending time together so he felt like they had a mutual respect and closeness between the two of them.

@Jung Jaehyun Jungkook took in another deep breath. He was starting to get frustrated with some incidents that had happened within the pack and starting to doubt no one took him seriously within his position. At times like these, he'd spend it around Jae, who just like him, was also struggling with the new position as an Elder due to the last set of Elders being almost 5 times their age. As he began to place some bricks down for the new doctors hut, Jungkook's head whipped up and a bright smile spread on his lips. He could smell the familiar scent of a certain Omega Elder not far from where he was, which means that the other had similar problems with stress. Now, the only thing on Jungkook's mind is what they could possibly do to get rid of said stress.

@Jeon Jungkook It was so exhausting with the amount of paperwork that was stacked on his desk and his own floor, Jaehyun almost wanted to tear his hair out at how much there was. Why in the moon goddess's name had the previous elder for his position slacked off so much? The frustration was about to eat him alive so the omega decided he needed to take a quick break and get some fresh air, maybe that would calm him down and allow him to get through at least half of the scrolls and papers still left there. A brilliant idea popped up in his mind after a couple of minutes, which had him changing directions in search of the scent of the other elder of the pack. There was only two of them so they had relied on each other a lot after the transfer, and Jaehyun would periodically go check on the other male who seemed to always be stressing out or wandering around the pack lands.

/runs around, exploring
/yawns and stops to lay down beside a tree

@Jeon Jungkook /chuffs aloud, the canine equivalent of chuckling/
sure, sure~
/yawns and sprawls out against your back/

@α Park Chanyeol *Laughs softly before making sure I'm in a comfortable enough position to breathe in, resting my head on the ground with a huff*
Just a quick nap and then we'll go get our clothes.
Make sure you say hi to the new omegas, ok?

@Jeon Jungkook /yips playfully and pounces at the ground around you, circling you before flopping sideways/
congrats!
/looks at you and continues to pant with my tongue lazily hanging out/
a nap? here? don't mind if i do~
/wriggles to get comfy on the soft, tall grass/

@α Park Chanyeol *can't help but collapse at the finishing line with a loud heave, grinning up at you in satisfaction of being able to sprint*
Good going alpha, we both won one each.
Now it's naptime for me, I don't know about you

@Jeon Jungkook /gives a feline-esque wiggle before also darting forward, drifting to the right to avoid the same path/
/our link remains silent other than my loud panting, which i hope doesn't bother you/
/i watch you in front of me to my left, and i spy the worn, well-used expanse of thinner trees, darting for that when you think you're far enough ahead of me/
/i make a straight line to the clearing and bound through it in two leaps, then skid to a stop at the edge of the lush field/
YEEEAHAAAA!!!

@α Park Chanyeol Sureeee you were, I'll humour your pride, Alpha.
*laughs and lowers myself to the ground again before yelping 'Go' as I dash between trees quite elegantly, occasionally glancing to see where you are as I run*

@Jeon Jungkook /whines happily, since i can't make many other noises of joy/
I know~
/stands and shakes before stretching all my legs again/
Psssh, I was SO far ahead..
/gets into a pouncing stance/
But yes! ReDEMPTION!!

@α Park Chanyeol *lifts my paw up slightly to nudge your body with it, snorting*
You're a really dopey alpha, you know that?
I like that about you.
*stands up and shakes my tail clean before looking at you with a playful glint*
So I can beat you again?

@Jeon Jungkook /snorts and sneezes when dirt fills my nostrils, then shakes off and sits beside you/
It worked, didn't it?
/my tail still wags and i open my mouth to pant happily/
I can see again! Race you back?

@α Park Chanyeol *watches you with wide eyes when you rub yourself in the dirt*
Ewwww, Alphaaa stooooop, that's dirty
*laughs at my own pun before sitting down and waiting for you to finish, too much of a clean wolf to want to roll in the dirt with you*
You should just go to the waterfall, why are you cleaning yourself in mud? haha

@Jeon Jungkook /laughs continously through the link while snuffling around in clean, pure soil to rid myself of the stickiness/
I found dem spiderwebs..
/flops on the ground and starts to wriggle in the dirt, then digs again to shove my face in it/
ooooooohhhhh, this feels goooood...

@α Park Chanyeol *quickly stops to a halt when I realise how close we are to the edge of the border, chest heaving and falling as I glance back at you with my jaw open, only to then stare with wide eyes when your fur is covered and matted with cobwebs*
What on earth did you do?
*laughs through the pack link and moves closer to try and help you*
Stay still-

@Jeon Jungkook /howls with laughter when you tumble, but intentionally slows down so i don't get too far ahead/
you- o- k-
/i pant and continue to rush forward and swerve around thick trees-- only to run right through a bush/
WAAAUGH
/i'm blinded by spiderwebs that have tangled in my fur, consequently making me tumble head over paws a couple times/

@α Park Chanyeol *can't help but snort, eyes crinkling too much as I laugh, tripping clumsily over a tree root*
Oof-
*gets up as quick as possible, shifting my weight onto my back legs to launch me further with every stride, still laughing at how goofy you sound*
Yeah but we have to stop before the tree line ends, the humans can't see us

@Jeon Jungkook /yips excitedly and prances in place while waiting for you/
WOOO!
/i launch from the solid Earth below my paws and begin pumping my legs hard to sprint and leap over roots, logs, bushes and even a small animal/
THIS IS AMAZZINGGG-
/i wail over the mind-link to you, letting you see the goofier side that most don't/

@α Park Chanyeol *flashes you a little wolfy grin and then moves to stand next to you, lowering my stance as I get ready to run*
Well then big bad alpha, let's see how you move.
*starts dashing through the trees with ease the moment, I bark out 'Go' through the link*
