"It's your turn Seungmin,"

Something jumped down from the tree behind the boys and startled the wolves, causing the wolves to jump back as a ball of white fur stood defensively in front of Jisung.

Jisung fell onto his ass with surprise as did the younger boys, "...Minho?" Jisung muttered with shock as the others stared with wide eyes.

The fox growled at the wolves who seemed to keep their guard up and challenged Minho, the fox stepped forward causing the wolves to step back and flinch.

Minho snarled forward before snapping his jaws toward the pack.

The wolves then started whimpering like puppy dogs before one by one running away from the large, white fox.

The two younger boys stared with wide eyes, "J-Jisung, either that old grape juice is kicking in or you called that thing 'Minho?'" Seungmin said as he blinked a few times, the fox turning to look at the young boys behind it.

Jeongin shivered at the sight of its pure crimson eyes, "... it knew my name, and said it in Minhos voice," Seungmin added as the fox stepped closer to Jisung, its nine tails dancing and twirling majestically in the dark of night.

Jisung glanced to his friends before looking up at Minho, the fox closed its eyes before pressing its soft and furry forehead onto Jisung's. Jisung closing his eyes as he heard some sort of odd sound, his hands lifting to caress Minhos muzzle.

"They're getting suspicious Jisung, we should tell them,"

Minhos voice echoed in Jisung's head, making the boy pull back but still held Minhos cheeks. He looked back at the boys before nodding, "Guys, this is Minho, the same Minho you know," Jisung started slowly as he turned and faced his friends with the most serious expression they've ever seen him with.

"And... he's a kumiho," Jisung started as he gestured to Minhos fox body, the two younger boys staring with wide eyes on the dirty ground.

"A... kumiho..." Seungmin muttered softly as Jeongin blinked some more, "But I thought kumiho's were man-eatters..." Jeongin furrowed his eyebrows as Jisung glanced over to Minho, who stepped forward with a noticeable limp before sitting down next to Jisung.

The fox closed its eyes before its figure blurred and shrunk into the beautiful boy they knew him to be.

He opened his eyes slowly and revealed his bright red eyes, the boys gasping at his shapeshifting powers.

"Well first off, I hope you're not randomly telling people about us having sex, Jisung," Minho glared at Jisung with a harsh blush who grinned sheepishly, Seungmin and Jeongin snickering at the mention.

"But... yes, I'm a kumiho" Minho nodded as he leaned over to Jisung and laid his head on Jisung's head, the two younger boys giving Jisung a smug look causing the older to blush.

"And Jisung gained my trust when he freed me from a bush that trapped me and made me bleed out," Minho explained as Minho and Jisung slowly interlocked their hands, it was so obvious that they were in love.

Minho chuckled softly, "Of course I planned to eat him but after what kindness he showed me... I couldn't bring myself to do it," Minho shrugged as Seungmin and Jeongin 'aw'ed just to tease the young couple.

"Well Minho, your secret is safe with us," Jeongin smiled gracefully as Seungmin nodded in agreement, "Yes, and thanks for saving us," Seungmin bowed his head as Minho chuckled.

"A friend of Jisung's is a friend of mine, and I vow to always protect you and those dearest to you," Minho stated as he looked up at Jisung with pure love in his eyes, making Jisung blush. He was totally smitten as well.
