Jisung's POV
Months Later

"Pass the ball Lele~"

"Here it comes~!"

Chenle cheered and kicked my soccer ball to me.

We're currently practicing together at our school's soccer field.

We joined the team after we were promoted to the next grade, and we often like to practice after school before the sun goes down completely. We get to be alone most of the time since the other team members leave a lot earlier than we do, so we get to have fun while perfecting our skills.

Once he successfully passed it to me, I kicked it with a great amount of force and it went into the goal.

"Another amazing goal Jisung~!"

Chenle pat me on the back once he caught up to me.

"Eh, it was alright. My form was a bit sloppy, and my angle of trajectory was a little off. I almost hit the pole this time, and it barely made it into the net. Maybe if I slow down a bit next time, then I'll be able to fix my form at the last second and-"

"You really are a perfectionist Jisung"

Chenle smiled while he went to go retrieve my ball.

"Oh, sorry.. Was I rambling again..?"

"Like always, but I don't mind. I get to see how much you care for things when you ramble on like that. But you really shouldn't be so hard on yourself all the time. You're really talented you know"

"Yeah.. I've just been this way for so long that I feel like I have to be perfect to be accepted"

I explained while I packed up our bags.

"Jisung, I didn't want to be your friend for any other reason other than I liked you. You're imperfections are what make you special. But you can't let them make you feel as if you won't be accepted if you let them show. There are lots of people that won't accept you even if you try to be perfect. That's just the way life works. But as for me in the others, we'll always be here for you"

He ruffled my hair at the end of his explanation to reassure me, and neatly packed up my ball in my bag.

"Now come on. Taeyong-hyung and Johnny-hyung are likely waiting on us~"

He playfully hit my shoulder and walked ahead of me, and I silently followed him.

Once we got close to the parking lot, I finally spoke up before we got too close to the cars.

"Hey, Lele...?"

"What's up Ji?"

He turned to face me as we continued to walk.

"Well... Um... Is there like..a special ritual for turning someone into a werewolf? Or is it just as simple as biting someone at any time..?"

"Huh??? So you really want to go through with it??? Why so suddenly?? It's not another tactic to make yourself faster and more perfect is it...?"

He stopped in his tracks and flooded me with questions.

"N-No! That's not it at all! I've...just been thinking about it"

"How much..?"

"Well... I've thought about if you bite me, what if I end up being like Mark-hyung and already have a werewolf background? Or if I don't, what class of wolves would I belong to between the Night Howlers, the Second Claws, or the Nightcrawlers like you? And...what would I look like as a wolf, and how many cool things would I be able to do like you..? It must be so fun..."

Chenle didn't say anything, and he had somewhat of a worried look on his face.

"I'm sorry... Did I say something to worry you? I know you don't want me to feel the pain, but I really don't mind it.."

"...Are you and our other hyungs free tomorrow?"

"Huh?? Yeah, we should be since it's Saturday. Why?"

"...We should let everyone know to meet up at our hut"
