A Walk Home [Namjin]

-5-

5. Scent

It was late at night again, the same convenience store, the same packets ordered and the same alpha walked in through the sliding doors. Seokjin looked at him - this time without ignoring him, he gave him a slight nod. The other also smiled in response.

Just as Namjoon arrived, Seokjin changed his entire basket of food and decided to pick up some proper vegetables and some meat. He couldn't always let his brother eat store food.

"Hey - Seokjin." Namjoon said standing beside him.

"Hello, Namjoon."

"So, you know how to cook?" Namjoon asked looking at the things Seokjin was buying.

"Yes, me and my brother live together. He absolutely loves my cooked meals!" Seokjin said excited.

"Well, I don't know how to cook! I thought it was unnecessary for me to learn it."

"Oh, then you must be living with someone else who would cook for you right?" Seokjin said indirectly asking the other if he had a wife or a girlfriend.

"Ah, no. I live alone. I just came to this residence and I'll be gone in a few days time as well."

"Then what do you eat at home?"

"Basically whatever I buy right now."

"That's good then. Okay! Bye then! I'll have to get home a little sooner today."

"Bye?" Namjoon said while his gaze deepened in front of Seokjin. He looked at the other and soft but prickly scent started coming off of him.

"EXCUSE ME! IF YOU COULD CONTROL YOUR PHEROMONES IT WOULD BE QUITE APPRECIABLE!" Someone from the counter yelled out while covering their nose.

Seokjin peered from the alley and saw that the other was suffocating from the pheromones but he only felt warm and fuzzy because of the thick scent around him.

Namjoon soon realized that he was going into rut so he had to quickly excuse himself running out of the store and jogging to his house.

He didn't want Seokjin to see him like that.
