That evening, Woozi sat outside the Omega den, hunched over a large map.

His eyes narrowed in concentration as he continued to learn the next potential hunting route. The quiet rustle of paper was the only sound in the den until a soft knock broke the silence.

"Hoshi?" Woozi looked up, surprised but not displeased to see his friend standing in the doorway that leads to their den.

"Hey." Hoshi grinned sheepishly, stepping outside. "I figured you'd still be up. Thought you might need a break." He said, sitting down next to the younger.

Woozi chuckled, shaking his head. "You know me too well. But this needs to be finished by morning." He said.

Since Seungcheol had agreed to let the Omega's hunt, Woozi had to learn the routes, so he asked Mingyu for a map of them all.

Hoshi peered at the map over Woozi's shoulder. "You know it would be easier if you went on a patrol and learned it visually." Hoshi pointed out.

"You know I didn't like to leave my den." Woozi said. "It's just easier this way." He said, turning back to the map.

"Ugh, you always work so hard. Let me help. Two heads are better than one, right?" Hoshi suggested.

With a grateful smile, Woozi nodded, as they worked side by side, the atmosphere lightened, their conversation filled with quiet laughter and playful banter.  The night seemed to pass quicker with Hoshi's presence.
