Jisung's POV
3 Weeks Later

-

"You three did an amazing job tonight. You deserve all the rest that you're going to get over the weekend"

"Thanks hyung~"

"Yeah thanks~"

"We'll keep the same energy at the next game and win that one too~"

Hueningkai, Chenle, and I each thanked Yeonjun for his kind words, having won our first game after finally returning to the team.

"It's time for us to head home, but we'll see you next week"

"Yeah, we'll hang out later guys~"

"Have a safe drive back home~"

"And don't stay up too late~"

We waved as they made their way to their car and ventured home with the other three mages.

Over the course of these few weeks, the five of them made changes just like Taeyong and the others did before. Instead of being werewolf hunting mages, they're more like simple alchemists now.

They use their abilities to help others in the community, and also work to protect us as well. They seem to be a lot happier this way, and we've all become great friends just like we had hoped~.

"We should be heading back too. Kun-hyung is most likely waiting for us"

Chenle predicted.

The others had already left after the game, since Chenle and I wanted to stay and talk with the mages for a little while longer. But as Chenle was about to walk ahead, I quickly stopped him by grabbing his arm.

"What's up Ji?"

"...Do you want to go to the river really quick? Just for a minute before we head to Kun-hyung's place?"

"Oh, sure. We can do that~"

"G-Great~"

Minutes Later
At the River

"So, why did you want to come here Ji?"

Chenle asked, resting his hand on my shoulder.

"Well... I just wanted to bring you to your favorite place so that it could make what I'm about to say more special"

"Oh I get it~. What did you want to tell me?"

Chenle gave me his undivided attention to hear what I had to say.

"Well, I just want to say thank you. You've been my best friend this whole time, even after what happened when we were still hunters. Even after everything that's happened with Yeonjun-hyung and the other mages, you've stayed by my side. You even granted my wish, and gave a new life with you and the others in the pack. We had a few rough patches after I turned, but we've been together through it all. You're the only reason I was able to do the impossible, and I'm very grateful for everything you've done for me up to this point"

I explained, but he suddenly shook his head after I finished.

"Ji, I should be the one thanking you! You've done the exact same thing for me. We may have been through a lot, but it's all still been fun because I was with you. Even when we almost died, I was just happy to be with you. There was a point when I regretted biting you because I hate seeing you in pain, but now I don't regret it anymore. These experiences have ultimately brought us closer to each other, and it's all because of that bite. Now, I wouldn't take that moment back even if I was given the chance. We've made even more friends and memories because of that once moment, and we would never have made them if it hadn't happened. So..I have to thank you for even wanting to be my friend and for asking me to bite you"

Chenle confessed, holding my hands as he spoke.

Of course I was happy, but I had something else I wanted to tell him.

"What is it??"

Chenle asked, seeing how my smile faded.

"Well.. It's just that... You've said multiple times throughout our recent struggles that you loved me, and you've given me multiple kisses as well. S-So, I just wanted to say... Even if we don't take our relationship a bit further like Mark-hyung and Donghyuck-hyung did, I just wanted to let you know that... I love you too"

I gently kissed Chenle on his forehead before I brought him into a hug, in order to hide my nervous expression.

He stayed frozen for a second, but then he finally hugged me back, but this time, he felt a lot more relaxed than the previous hugs.

"How about we stay best friends for now, and then we see what happens later on?"

I felt my face heat up once he looked up at me with a smile that I found absolutely adorable, but I immediately nodded.

"T-That can work~"

"Good. I'm really glad that you told me how you were feeling Jisung"

"I'm glad you told me how you were feeling too Chenle"

My smile retuned after he thanked me again, and now I'm really glad that I decided to talk to him now instead of later.

"Now how about we head back to Kun-hyung's place? We can always watch or play something after we eat~"

"Yeah, let's do that~"

Chenle held my hand as he led me back the way we came.

We don't know what the future holds, especially regarding our relationship. But as long as I'm with my best friend, I'm going to enjoy every second that the future has in store.
