By the time that he and Jongin had met up with Chanyeol and Baekhyun at the agreed time Kyungsoo could already feel the tense air hanging over Chanyeol, who seemed to have his head stuck in the clouds right now. Baekhyun offered them both a shy smile, his knuckles white from gripping his bag's straps too tightly. He wanted to reach out and wrap his hand around Baekhyun's shoulder, try and reassure him that what was going to happen wasn't as bad as he thought.

But how could he know that?

Kyungsoo had been in Baekhyun's place before, he had seen what it was like being 'welcomed' into the family and he certainly felt the distance that had been placed from the moment he met the original family members. Which is why he had decided to take it upon himself to be the one warning the boy of his mate's family, Kyungsoo didn't have anyone to tell him how hard it was so he was glad being able to help Baekhyun. They could handle it together, maybe even gain strength and confidence from one another. Kyungsoo could only hope.

"Are you ready?" Jongin wondered, his questions directed at both of them. Kyungsoo took a breath and nodded his head, his lips pressed into a thin line.

"Aren't I always?"

"I'm nervous," Baekhyun admitted, sliding off his backpack to put it into the back of Chanyeol's car. "this isn't something I've done before..."

"I guess it's best to get it done and over with now rather than later huh?" Chanyeol attempted a grin but it was obvious that he found it hard to make it genuine, Kyungsoo and Baekhyun appreciated the gesture though.

"After you!" Jongin grinned, holding the back seat passenger door open. Kyungsoo giggled as he skipped towards him, back now free of his bag. He pressed his puckered lips against his boyfriend's before jumping into the backseat, hands searching for the seatbelt next to him knowing how nervous Chanyeol gets when no one is protected in his car.

"Do you mind if I sit with Kyungsoo?" Baekhyun's sweet voice filled his ears, forcing the vampire to turn his head to the side. He watched through the window as Jongin dipped his head, moving on up to the passenger seat where he would be sitting in front of his mate and beside his brother. Chanyeol opened the door for Baekhyun who rewarded him with an innocent kiss to the cheek, his cheeks burning as he slid into the seat next to Kyungsoo.

They offered each other a genuine smile, Baekhyun's hand coming to rest on top of his once he had finished putting his seat belt on. Chanyeol took a couple seconds buckling himself into his seat, his movements hesitant because everyone knew he wasn't comfortable about the new arrangement.

"We were actually going to bring you to a spot we go to whenever we go hiking," Kyungsoo explained to Baekhyun who looked surprised by the topic of conversation. "it's a little high in the mountains but the view is incredible. I'm sorry that we have to bring you home, believe me it wasn't our decision..."

"Don't sweat it," Baekhyun tried to reassure them all, his smile brightening up the air ever so slightly. "in a way I'm quite flattered that they want to meet me."
