Hidden Mate

'Joonie, something must be wrong! He should have already arrived here hours ago!'

"Jin, baby, calm down, calm down and listen to me. Jin, baby?"

'No! No- No- No- No! Clearly something is wrong! Joonie, I had already gone to the train station and confirmed that his train had arrived! But where did he go? Why didn't he call me? I can't see him anywhere! He doesn't know how to get here! What if something happened to him? Joonie, Joonie, What can I do?!!'

"Jin, oh... baby, please calm down..."

Namjoon groaned, pressing his temples with his fingers. Even though he knew it was inevitable, he blamed  himself for not being able to go out to the train station to pick Taehyung up today because he was on a business trip. He was taking the train back home, and if he still used this mode of transportation like a normal human, it would still be hours before he got home. However, Jin's cries full of anxiety and worry made his hesitation meaningless.

"Jin, baby! I'll be there soon, so just wait!"

'Please, please come back to me quickly. I'm so scared...'

"Shit-"

Namjoon groaned again in pain. They were mates, and Jin's pain and fear were passed on to Namjoon, causing him pain as well. He couldn't bear to watch his mate suffer.

"Jin, 30 minutes! I'll be next to you in 30 minutes! So just wait a little longer!"

Namjoon stood up, comforting Jin over the phone while loosening the tie around his neck with one hand. He lifted the bag with a sigh, as he put the cell phone in it, and closed the zipper securely. In his bag were some newly signed documents with the other pack, which he had to deliver to his pack leader. However, the biggest problem was transforming into his wolf form without being noticed by anyone on a train full of people. He walked quickly toward the last carriage of the train while picturing the train's route in his mind.
And he was relieved to know that the train would soon be passing through the tunnel in a few minutes. Now, the only problem left was timing. He had to jump off the train before the last carriage was completely inside the tunnel, otherwise he might end up destroying the tunnel. He calculated the speed of the train, the distance to the tunnel, and the length of the train. And when the train finally entered the tunnel, he counted in his mind and aimed for the right timing as he watched the tunnel entrance getting closer and closer to the train carriage he was riding.

"One... Two... Now!!"

The moment Namjoon jumped off the train, he felt that his calculations were correct.The moment he jumped off the train, Namjoon transformed into a wolf form, and it seemed like his body would fall to the ground, but he immediately regained his balance and was running across the field.

Kim Namjoon, he was not a warrior, but among his ancestors there were several warriors whose reputation is still great to this day. However, since he was gifted with a genius brain, he was in charge of most of the pack's practical affairs and was highly trusted by the pack leader, so he was involved in all important pack matters. And that got him into trouble sometimes. Like today, when he couldn't be there for his mate when he needed him, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken and blame himself.

Namjoon ran like crazy through the field. Even while running through the field, he could feel Jin's sobs. As his impatience and worry grew, Namjoon sprinted, and his speed was unbelievably fast. How far did he run? Gradually, as the surrounding scenery felt familiar, his heart became more urgent. He smiled involuntarily at the sight of his pack visible from afar. 

Soon, Namjoon reached the pack's entrance, and the guard who recognized him hurriedly opened the gate and allowed him inside. He breathed a sigh of relief as he felt he was almost home. But,
