Starting New 《JeongCheol》

Twenty Three

"Seungcheol," Hoshi called as he knocked on the leader's den.

"Yeah Hoshi?" Seungcheol asked, standinging in the doorway.

"I wanted to talk to you about Woozi." Hoshi said, his voice carrying a hint of concern.

"What is it?" Seungcheol asked, stepping aside to let Hoshi inside.

Hoshi took a deep breath "He's been staying up late at night, memorizing hunting routes on maps." He said, his gaze flickering with guilt.

Seungcheol's eyes widened in surprise. "Why would he be doing that?" He asked.

Hoshi's shoulders slumped. "Because... he doesn't know them in person, he's never been on patrol." Hoshi admitted.

"Never?" Seuncheol asked as Hoshi shook his head.

"No he rarely leaves the den." Hoshi said as Seungcheol's heart twinged with sadness.

He knew that patrol duty was an essential part of pack life, not just for the safety of the territory, but also for the sense closeness among pack members.

"I see," Seungcheol said thoughtfully. "Thank you for letting me know, Hoshi."

That evening, Seungcheol found himself outside the Omega den. "Woozi? It's Seungcheol, can I come in?" Seungcheol asked.

"Come in."

"Hey Woozi" Seungcheol greeted warmly as he approached the Omega. "Can we talk?"

"Ofcourse." Woozi nodded hesitantly before sitting up.

Seungcheol took a seat beside him, "I heard from Hoshi that you've been staying up late, memorizing hunting routes on maps."

Woozi's eyes widened in surprise "I... I just wanted to be prepared." He explained.

"Hosi also told me that you've never been on patrol before." Seungcheol added as Woozi's face went red in embarrassment.

"Oh, uh, yeah. I guess I was always more keen to staying in the den." Woozi admitted.

"I understand, but I think it's important for every pack member to experience patrol duty. It's not just about protecting the territory; it's also about bonding with your fellow packmates." Seungcheol explained.

"I know." Woozi agreed sadly.

Seungcheol extended a hand to him, his expression earnest. "Would you like to join me on patrol tomorrow morning? I'd like to show you what it's like, and maybe we can get to know each other a little better in the process." Seungcheol offered.

Woozi hesitated for a moment before nodding. "I... I think I'd like that." He said.

Seungcheol's smile widened, his heart swelling with pride. "Great. I'll see you bright and early tomorrow!" Seungcheol said.
