Jungkook looked at himself in the reflection of a mirror. He'd have to be the first to admit that he looked good in these fine garments. Seokjin had made them for him and said man was at the moment, right next to him in the mirror's reflection, already dressed in his own robes and adjusting Jungkook's clothes, looking after every imperfection regarding his appearance. "I'm so thankful hyung...you're really talented, these are gorgeous." Jin looked at him, proud of his own work. "I'm glad you like them...I couldn't have you come to the celebrations without that little special touch of magic. Wearing these makes the night feel even more special. You feel all fancy and like you match the beauty of the world around you." Jungkook smiled at his words, kind of already understanding the feeling. He felt confident in these. "While we're alone hyung, I want to thank you about much more too...well all of the other friends as well as a matter. If it weren't for you all and your help and support, I wouldn't be attending any festivities today...I would either be dead or back in the forest, alone for all I'd know... Thank you for making me feel so safe here and as if I truly belonged with you all." The older man stopped him with a kind embrace and a shush. "It's not as if you belonged Jungkook, you should know...you do belong here...and nowhere else. I appreciate your thanks, and the others all do too, I know that for a fact, but today, you're here because you belong, and you have a dear mate that's waiting for you to dance under the moonlight like no true mates ever have before. And you have a pack that will from today on, know that you are the bravest and kindest pack member they now have. " Seokjin had pulled back from his quick embrace already when he finished his speech, squeezing Jungkook's cheek as a grandmother would with a soft smile as he saw the glistening eyes in front of him. "Now stop crying and get out there, you're makeup's gonna melt away, and Jimin's probably all worried..." Jungkook chuckled slightly. "He probably is, yeah..."

He left the hut shortly, walking out with more confidence than he'd had a few minutes ago already. He was still awfully apprehensive of the evening. It would be his very first time interacting with the pack as a whole, and he felt afraid of what the people would think of him. If they would know already, or if they would be made aware of his presence during the event. If they would accept him, or if they would reject him. He walked to Jimin's parents hut, where he knew his lover had been getting ready. The door opened as soon as he stepped foot in front of it, revealing his mate. His breath ran short, because his throat felt constricted with emotion as he looked at his sweet dove. He wore the fanciest robes, dark berry blue with gold accents in the form of gorgeous floral patterns. The fabric satin, with the undercoat being a white silk chiffon fabric. His feet were bare, his silky hair braided around his head in a crown and the rest of it loose under it. He was terrifyingly beautiful, but what had Jungkook gasping for hair was more so his alluring eyes. He had decorated his already astonishing natural beauty with golden makeup that served to recall the color of his robes and to hypnotize anyone who would dare to get lost in his eyes. His lips were coated in a nice red tint of glossy shimmer that had him wanting to taste to see if they tasted as sweet as they seemed. « Dear my dove...» He couldn't even find the words to compliment how he looked in his eyes at this moment. " My sweet alpha, you look dashing in these...are you ready to go?" Their gazes were oddly unmoving, as if they just couldn't get over each other's beauty. "If I get to hold your hand and show everyone how beautiful you are, I'd do anything." Jimin's smile was light and loving as he presented his hand to the request, it being taken immediately in the alpha's own. "Let's go then." They could already hear the traditional music being played loudly from the center of the village.

They walked the distance to get to the festivities, hand in hand and with what confidence they could find. Each step Jungkook took gave him some kind of nervous shiver, but he was also thrilled in some way.

When they got to their destination, Jungkook gasped out loud in a way that would've had anyone thinking it was exaggerated if they'd heard it, but Jimin was the only one to hear, and he chuckled at the sudden wonder in his lover's wide-open eyes. There were colorful lanterns everywhere and so many unique decorations that had Jungkook in shock. He'd never seen such a beautiful scenery. There were small food kiosks surrounding the place, making a nice scent fill the air, and at the center front, was a small pedestal that he imagined the pack leader would use to speak later. Many people were already there, sitting at picnic tables around the main area, chatting away in front of the fires that were lit all around before the festivities actually began. They all seemed quite entertained but as the couple arrived, a couple of eyes turned to them, and they could hear slight gasps from where they stood. Jungkook suddenly felt a wave of nerves coming over him, nausea almost coming in with it. Jimin squeezed his hand tightly as he smelled his frightened pheromones. The omega led them around to one of the kiosks. "Here, I want you to taste these. They're my favorites!" He completely ignored the people's reactions to their presence, and so Jungkook tried to do the same, focusing on what his lover was showing him. Someone appeared from the back of the kiosk and greeted them with a surprised gaze but a still warm smile. "Jimin-ssi! How are you tonight? And this must be Jungkook-ssi, your mate!" The woman reached in front to shake hands with Jungkook. She didn't look worried, or scared. It made Jungkook let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, and he held out his hand to greet her as well, bringing it up to touch his forehead in a polite manner. "Nice to meet you Miss-" "Min-Jun! Kang Min-Jun. I was the one to teach this lovely boy all he knows about cooking!" Jungkook smiled gratefully at her and repeated his greetings with her full name. " It's nice to finally meet you Jungkook dear. Jimin's parents have spoken such good words of you!" Jungkook's eyes took a surprised look at the mention of this, but his smile only widened, and he thanked her softly, returning the feeling to her. "We'll have the usual please Min-Jun ssi! I want to have Jungkook taste just how good your cooking is..." The woman nodded with a wide smile and disappeared in the back for a while, coming back with two portions of something that Jungkook couldn't exactly identify, but made his mouth water like it never did. "There you go loves! Eat it well quickly while it's hot, and come back to tell me what you think, Jungkook-ssi. Oh Jimin love look at him...he's almost drooling just looking at it! Go make him eat it quickly!" she finished speaking with a soft laugh and pushed herself forward to pinch Jungkook's cheek softly. "Thank you for the food!" They thanked her and left to go find a table in front of a fire. They sat down at a still empty table and they realised, as they looked around, that there were way more people arriving now. It was quite intimidating, but through the crowd coming in was Taehyung, with Yoongi and Hoseok, who quickly scanned the place and caught sight of them. Taehyung ran to them with wide eyes and an even wider smile. "Oh my god you guys are so hot for what?! They let you come in looking like this?! You're not gonna catch a break tonight! Jimin, keep your man to your side...he's stealing the show! Jin hyung has outdone himself..." Taehyung hugged them and took his time to analyse their outfits carefully. He really was dumbstruck with how gorgeous his friends were. Jimin burst out laughing as Taehyung was hit behind the head softly. "You're going around calling other people hot already? What are we going to do with you! Just joking guys, OMG you look so good!!!" Hoseok came in bubbly as always. "It's true, you both look amazing..." Yoongi added. Jungkook's cheeks were burning at this point, he was receiving too much attention. "Aaah thank you guys, you all look amazing too! And yeah I plan on keeping him all to myself tonight so they won't get to steal him..." Jungkook chuckled shyly before speaking. "You guys look just as good! Thank you so much..." They all sat themselves down together at the table. "Oh moonrays is that what I think it is?!" Yoongi was suddenly very loud and very excited as he looked at their food. "Go quick before she runs out! She's the most popular here..." Jimin spoke with a teasing smirk. Yoongi was out of sight almost immediately. Coming back after a few minutes with three servings of Min-Jun's food. "There babes, I brought you some." He was rewarded by two cheek kisses as he sat back down to eat and his cheeks tinted beautifully.
