The days after Jimin and Yoongi's 17th birthday felt different, yet neither of them dared to address the shift in their connection. There was a constant hum of something new between them—an energy that had been missing before, or maybe it had always been there, and they were only now becoming aware of it. Whatever it was, it hovered in the space between their casual conversations and the comfortable silences they used to share so easily.
Their friends—Jungkook, Namjoon, Taehyung, Jin, and Hoseok—seemed unaware of this silent undercurrent between Jimin and Yoongi. The days carried on with the same familiar mischief, laughter, and banter. On the surface, nothing had changed. But to Jimin, everything felt heavier, like a weight had settled in his chest. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was changing between him and Yoongi, and the thought scared him more than he wanted to admit.
Tha night , the air was cool, crisp with the scent of pine and earth as the group wandered deeper into the forest, led by Jungkook's boundless energy. It was nearing dusk, and the full moon had already started to rise in the sky, casting an ethereal glow over everything. Tonight wasn't just any night; it was a full moon, a time when the pack felt the pull of their nature more intensely, when bonds deepened, and truths sometimes revealed themselves in the most unexpected ways.
For Jimin and Yoongi, though, the air was thick with something else—an unspoken tension that had been growing between them since their birthdays. They hadn't talked about it, hadn't dared to voice what was bubbling beneath the surface. But tonight felt different. The moonlight seemed to pull at their souls, stirring emotions they couldn't quite explain, heightening the tension between them.
As they reached the abandoned treehouse Jungkook had discovered, the group paused, taking in the quiet beauty of the forest around them. The moon hung high, bathing the clearing in a soft, silver light. Namjoon stood back, his hand resting on Jin's shoulder, a soft smile tugging at his lips. "Looks like we found our spot for the night," he murmured.
Jin smiled, leaning into Namjoon's touch as he gazed up at the full moon. There was something about the night that felt... right. His heart beat a little faster, his pulse syncing with Namjoon's in a way that always felt natural, but tonight it was stronger, more intense. As if their very souls were aligning beneath the gaze of the moon.
The rest of the group, however, was oblivious to this quiet moment between the two mates. Jungkook had already scaled the old treehouse ladder, grinning down at the others. "Come on! The view's even better up here!"
Taehyung rolled his eyes, but a smile pulled at his lips as Hoseok nudged him playfully. "I bet you can't beat me to the top," Hoseok teased, his voice warm and full of mischief.
"Oh, you're on!" Taehyung grinned back, racing for the ladder as the rest of them watched with fond amusement.
Jimin and Yoongi stayed behind, standing a little apart from the group. The glow of the full moon cast long shadows on the ground, and as Jimin looked over at Yoongi, he couldn't help but feel the weight of the silence between them. He had never been one to shy away from his emotions, but whatever was happening between them now... it was confusing. It made his heart race in ways it hadn't before. He wanted to ask Yoongi if he felt it too, but every time he opened his mouth, the words felt too heavy to speak.
