Starting New 《JeongCheol》

Forty Two

The more the Omegas trained, the more Seungcheol began incorporating the Omegas into their official hunts.

Today, Seungcheol had brought all 12 of them out for their first group hunt.

Seungcheol led the group as Jeonghan walked beside him, while the rest of the pack spread out in formation.

Jun was positioned towards the rear, per his request today. Jun had been feeling off all day, but he pushed on, not wanting to disappoint the pack on their first group hunt.

Everyone had been looking forward to this for today.

As they moved deeper into the forest, Seungcheol signaled for the pack to fan out.

Suddenly, Jun's vision blurred, the world tilting on its axis. His legs gave out from under him, and he collapsed to the forest floor in a faint.

A ripple of alarm spread through the pack. Hoshi, who was closest to Jun, immediately stopped, "Jun's down! He's fainted!" He called out.

Seungcheol's head snapped around at the sound, his instincts kicking in. He raced over to where Jun lay.

Seungkwan and DK were already at Jun's side, their expressions filled with concern.

Seungcheol dropped to his knees, his authoritative demeanor replaced by a calm urgency.

"Give him space," he ordered firmly. The pack obeyed, forming a loose circle around them.

Jeonghan knelt down next to Seungcheol and Jun. "What happened?" Jeonghan asked Hoshi who was still catching his breath.

"He just collapsed," Hoshi replied worriedly. "One moment he was fine, the next he just... fell."

Seungcheol gently lifted Jun's head, checking his pulse and breathing. "He's alive," he said in relief.

"But he's clearly exhausted and most likely dehydrated. We need to get him back to the den." Seungcheol said.

"We'll carry him," Mingyu said as he easily lifted Jun into his arms. "Let's move quickly." He nodded.

"Vernon, Seungkwan, scout ahead and make sure the path is clear. The rest of you, stay alert and close." Seungcheol said as the others nodded in agreement.

"You're handling this well," Jeonghan said quietly as he walked alongside Seungcheol back to the dens.

"Thank you." Seungcheol whisperd back, just loud enough for only Jeonghan to hear.

Back at the den, as they settled Jun in, the oldest omega stirred, his eyes fluttering open.

He looked up at Seungcheol and Jeonghan, a look of confusion and embarrassment on his face. "I'm sorry," he whispered.

Seungcheol shook his head, a reassuring smile on his lips. "There's nothing to apologize for, Jun. You just pushed yourself too hard. Rest now. We'll take care of everything."

After a while, Seungcheol exited the Omega den first, where the rest of the pack were waiting outside.

"Jun will be fine." He reassured them all. "But I want to thank you all for how you all handled this situation. We need to remember to look out for each other, especially during hunts." Seungcheol told them all.

The pack nodded, as they dispersed to their respective tasks, but the bond between them felt stronger, more resilient.

Jeonghan stayed by Jun's side for awhile. "You'll be back on your feet in no time," he said softly.

Jun managed a weak smile. "Thank you, Jeonghan. And tell Seungcheol thanks aswell." Jun added as Jeonghan nodded.
