Taehyung excitedly roams around the pack's town square. Today, he's going to buy suitable clothes and shoes for his engagement party. He traipses from shop to shop, looking and admiring the clothes and accessories they are selling. Suddenly, a new store catches his eyes. The store or particularly an apothecary (pharmacy) draws his attention.

He approaches the apothecary and his suspicion is confirmed. Of course, who would be crazy enough to put up a business related to his crush but Wooshik, the viper. He sees the exuberant male arranging his stocks of medicine on the shelves.

"I see, you have commenced your plan on wooing Hoseok hyung." Taehyung exclaimed in delight to the stunned Wooshik.

"Gosh Luna, you're going to give me a heart attack!" Wooshik uttered in surprise, a hand holding his chest

"Gosh Luna, you're going to give me a heart attack!" Wooshik uttered in surprise, a hand holding his chest.

"Well, you're giving me a big headache, so we're even. And please, quit calling me Luna. They knew me here as Kim Taehyung. If they find out who I really am. It might create chaos which I can't afford, since I prefer to keep a low profile. I can't have wolves kissing the ground I'm walking on." Taehyung mischievously chuckled, looking around the apothecary. His playful demeanor suddenly morphed into a serious one. "Wooshik, I don't think this is going to work. How can you manage your apothecary if you can only stay human an hour a day? Don't you think this is too ambitious for you?"

"Ouch, what a way to rub it in my face! Well, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. I have a doctor to win at any cost. This is the first time I fancy someone so I gotta make a move fast." Wooshik replied with the gleam of determination in his green slitted eyes.

"Except, you aren't totally a man. You're a snake most of the day, so how will you tend this apothecary? Are you planning to only open an hour daily? That's such a waste of time and money." Taehyung shared his thoughts.

"That is why I'm hiring an employee. Can you recommend a trustworthy wolf? I will give him or her a decent wage." Wooshik gave him puppy eyes with a pout. Who would have thought that he's a deadly snake when he's looking like this-a literal baby?

"Fine, I'll ask around if I have pack mates who are looking for employment. Happy now? I just hope your efforts won't be in vain and Hoseok hyung will reciprocate your feelings." Taehyung sincerely told him. He really wants his friend to find happiness and love. He deserves it after all that he'd been through.

"Thank you, babe. I know I could count on you." Wooshik poked Taehyung's side while laughing heartily.

"Don't call me sweet names. If Hoseok hyung hears you, you'll be rejected before you even start making a move on him." Taehyung playfully rolled his eyes.

Their banter is halted when someone clears his throat behind Taehyung. "Uhm Tae, can we talk?" Jihan tensely mumbled. The tall alpha is dressed to impress, donning a 3/4 sleeves well- fitted, button-down shirt that highlights his well-defined muscles. He bets a lot of omegas drooled over him as he passed by. Jihan is extremely handsome, no doubt. He's one of the most popular unmated alphas in their pack and he can't understand why Jihan is wasting his time chasing after a cursed omega like him. Luna begs to disagree. 'Don't sell yourself short, Tae? You are the most beautiful omega in this pack and our scent is the most captivating. About that wretched mark, there's more to it that meets the eye. You'll soon find out.' Luna shared in their mind link. 'Our lover is way more handsome and hotter than Jihan. You should see his eight packs. I bet you're going to drool.'
