Starting New 《JeongCheol》

Twenty One

By the late afternoon, a sudden summer storm rolled in, catching the pack off guard.

The rain began as a light drizzle, quickly escalating into a steady downpour. The forest, usually quiet, came alive with the sound of raindrops hitting leaves and the earth soaking up the moisture.

Jeonghan, standing at the edge of the clearing, looked up and let the rain wash over his face. He hadn't played in the rain since he was a pup, and a sense of nostalgia filled him.

Seungcheol, standing nearby, saw the look on Jeonghan's face and grinned. "What's the matter, Jeonghan? Afraid of getting a little wet?" He teased.

"No, it's just been a while since I enjoyed the rain." Jeonghan laughed as he shook his head.

Seungcheol's grin widened, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Then let's change that." He said!

Without warning, Seungcheol splashed through a puddle, sending a spray of water toward Jeonghan. The unexpected move caught Jeonghan off guard, and he let out a surprised yelp.

"Come on!" Seungcheol called.

Jeonghan hesitated only for a moment before the spirit of the moment took over.  He leaped after Seungcheol, splashing through puddles and reveling in the sensation of cool rain on his face.

The pack watched in stunned silence for a minute, normally they never went out in the rain.

Hoshi was the first to join, his energetic nature finding a perfect outlet. He ran straight for Seungcheol and Jeonghan. DK and Jun followed, laughter echoing through the clearing as they splashed and played.

Woozi, who was normally more reserved, couldn't resist the pull of the moment and joined in, finding joy in the unstructured fun.

Even the alphas, usually composed and dominant, couldn't hold back. Mingyu and Wonwoo tackled each other into a muddy puddle, their roughhousing filled with hearty laughter.

Vernon and Seungkwan engaged in a playful chase, as Joshua and Minghao watched from the sidelines, their expressions a mix of amusement and delight.

Dino, the youngest, looked to them for approval before bounding into the chaos himself.

Seungcheol and Jeonghan found themselves at the center of the fun, their earlier responsibilities momentarily forgotten.

Jeonghan, caught up in the moment, tackled Seungcheol into a puddle, their laughter ringing out as they wrestled in the mud.
ghtness and fun.

Seungcheol, soaked and grinning, turned to Jeonghan. "Now this, this is what we needed." he said, his voice warm with satisfaction.

Jeonghan nodded, his own smile mirroring Seungcheol's. "Sometimes, we all need a reminder of the simple joys." He agreed.

The rain continued to pour, but the mood in the clearing was anything but gloomy. The pack played and laughed, the burdens of leadership and the weight of their past challenges seemed lighter, washed away by the cleansing rain.

As the downpour began to lighten, Seungcheol called out to the pack, his voice carrying a note of gentle authority. "Alright, everyone. Let's get dried off before we catch a cold."

Reluctantly, the wolves began to gather, their playful energy still buzzing. Seungcheol and Jeonghan stood side by side, watching as their pack slowly returned to order, their spirits lifted.

"Thank you," Jeonghan said softly, turning to Seungcheol. "For reminding us all how to have fun." He said with a small laugh.

"Leadership is about more than strategy and strength. It's about moments like this, too." Seungcheol said, motiniong to their pack members.

Jeonghan couldn't agree more. As the rain tapered off and the pack began to settle down, he felt a renewed sense of hope.
