Jungkook is sleepy and there is only one bed. His alpha is injured so he cannot sleep on the floor. He wonders what to do but then proceeds to ask "Shall we sleep?" Jin says "Yes, you can sleep on the bed. I'm used to the floor so you can sleep on the bed". Jungkook says since Jin is injured. But Jin objects and after a while they both settle to sleep on the same bed together.
Both sleep at the ends of the bed with their backs facing each other, even though the bed is small. Jungkook during the night worriedly checks on Jin if he is having a fever. Jungkook notices an increase in Jin's body temperature and moves Jin near him, moving Jin towards him. Jungkook holds him tightly and goes back to sleep. Jungkook doesn't know Jin is a light sleeper. Jin smiles at his omega snoring and goes back to sleep after witnessing how his omega is taking care of him.
Jungkook wakes up and notices someone lying on his chest. Initially, his instinct was to push and then kick but then his omega realized it's his alpha. His alpha was holding his waist and nuzzling towards his neck near the scent gland. He notices he's been hugging him too which makes them stay in the same position. He didn't want to move but suddenly he's worried about the wound and tries to move.
But Jin wakes up before that and looks up to Jungkook, then smiles and asks "How are we in this position?" but doesn't move. Jungkook smiles back and asks " Good morning, how are you feeling?" completely ignoring Jin's question. Jin moves and lays on his back and shows that he's okay. Just to avoid misunderstanding, Jungkook says " I think I didn't want to hurt you, that's why I let you sleep on me or else I would've laid on top of you and would have crushed you".
Jin understands his omega's concern, mountain wolves are usually dominating. It's usually said that only mountain wolves can handle each other. Those alphas are so powerful that they could easily handle their omegas. So when these omegas choose alpha outside their pack it's usually complicated since both their alpha and omega try to dominate each other, even though their human forms wouldn't care. But that doesn't mean they cannot be together, it takes time and if they can let their wolves understand, they could make it work very well. Now his omega doesn't want him to feel like his alpha is being dominated or led by his omega. But his omega doesn't know his alpha likes him to lead. So Jin just smiles.
Both join each other to have breakfast after washing up. Jin notices Jungkook started packing his things. So he asks "When are we leaving and where are we leaving?" And Jungkook says "We'll have to start moving to avoid those alphas who attacked you. I don't have a pack and you don't have a pack so we'll have to move and find a new place where we can settle '' and jin then realizes he forgot to mention about his pack to his omega. " I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, I have a pack. It's not a big pack . We are a 6-member pack. We can go there". Jungkook is not that happy to find out his alpha has a pack, he is usually not liked by others.
And Jin notices his omega isn't glad to know he has a pack " You don't have to worry about my pack. They are super friendly. You'll love them, I'm damn sure they're gonna love you too" says Jin. Jungkook can't avoid Jin's pack so he says "Okay". But Jin seems to notice his omega is hesitant and asks "Is there any issue?"
And Jungkook says " I don't know, I've seen these pack alphas coming up with stupid rules to have control over the omegas. I'm sure your pack alpha would have those kinds of rules too. I really like you and I'm happy that I met my fated mate. I'm also happy that you didn't just try to mate me, also just so you know I can protect myself. I know it's just a bare minimum but not rushing to mark me as soon as you meet me makes me feel like you might be a good person. But these pack politics are too much to handle. I've been avoiding that. I know, I can't avoid it now that I know you have a pack you love. I know you can't do much with your pack alpha's rules, but just promise me you'll not stop me when I voice out my opinion against your pack alpha's stupid rules" says Jungkook.
Jin feels his omega's pain while he tries his best not to hurt his alpha while conveying how he feels about packs. He thanks the moon goddess for his mate and says "You don't have to worry about that, you can voice out your opinion any time to our pack alpha. He loves our pack omega so he'll understand your concerns. Also about mating, we shall get to know each other first as you said and then we can think about mating"
Jungkook just nods and says "May if you want, you can temporarily mark me so that we can avoid rogue alpha along our way to your pack" "You don't have to worry about rogue alphas, we'll cross the river and we can reach my pack soon," says Jin. And they start their journey with Jungkook having packed a few of his things.
Along their journey, they talk about their childhood and Jungkook doesn't open up much but Jin feels Jungkook might have had a difficult childhood and that might have been the root cause of his omega's opinion on pack dynamics.
Even though he hates all his alpha's dad jokes, he's glad his alpha is a funny guy. He never felt this safe with anyone else. He's been talking all day since they started, even though Jungkook doesn't talk much. He really hopes his pack likes him so that he can happily be with his alpha.
It's already night and it's not safe to travel around. So they decide to stay over and rest so that they can start moving early in the morning. Jungkook notices his alpha is much better now and moves his shoulders freely. Even though they both know they can't sleep peacefully here but both feel at peace lying on the ground and watching the stars together in silence.
Early in the morning when Jungkook wakes up, he notices his alpha's eyes on him. He realizes Jin woke up before him and has been waiting for him to wake up. "Do you wanna sleep more?" asks Jin. " No, we should start early, so we can get there soon". Jin comes near Jungkook and asks "Can I scent you? It's totally okay if you don't want to". Jungkook blushes and just nods. Jin asks again to confirm and Jungkook confirms with words saying "Yes you can."
Then Jin comes close to Jungkook and hugs him. Jungkook hugs him back and then Jin nuzzles towards his omega's neck. They stay in that same position for a while and then Jin steps away. "Thank you," says Jin. Jungkook blushes and just nods. They start walking again. Walking in human form for so long is new to Jungkook but he is okay with it, Since Jin keeps entertaining him, he gets to see his alpha being goofy so that's okay. Deep down Jungkook really wanted to see his alpha. His omega is so excited to meet his alpha too. He doesn't know when that would happen. Little did he know it's sooner than he thought.
