Twilight had invaded the clearing. The leafy branches of the trees swayin sadly to the rhythm of the wind, leaving only a few fleeting glimmers of the moon shining at its peak in the
midnight blue sky dotted with sparkling stars reflected on the silvery surface of the stream.

A wolf with shiny yellow orbs and a robe as black as ebony strutted into
the clearing, a bloody rabbit firmly held between his sharp teeth.

He set it down and proceeded to tear it apart, the sound of flesh and bones
giving away under the repeated assault of his teeth and the chewing sound he made
as he ate it all drawed the attention of two others wolves, one with a silver robe and another one white that looked up at him with something akin to envy glowing in theirs eyes.

He growled, barring his teeth as he protectively moved his meal to him.

"Its mine." he said telepathically to his brothers, barring his teeth.

The two others exchanged a gaze. The slver one, yoongi growled back.

"I cant believe you didn't wait for us." he said.

The black wolf, jungkook continued eating unbothered by the look of
disappointment his brothers threw at him.

"you guys went to fuck...again. I was hungry." he explained. Ever since they had come here the two had been at it like rabbits. their den perpetually smelling like his older brother's heat pheromons and also sex. It put him in a bad mood.

Seokjin's stomach rumbled and his mate stared at him.

"Give some to jin." he ordered to the youngest one who growled but ultimately relented. He turned his back to the carcass, the outline of his mouth sticky wand crimson because of the animal's blood. He licked at it, satiated.

The silver wolf, yoongi urged his mate to eat. it wasn't much but it would occupy him while he went to hunt something for them.

He shot a glare at jungkook, busy licking at his paws.

"I'm going to hunt. Take care of him." jungkook lifted his head and met his glare. he nodded silently while he answered through their telepathic link.

"Of course." he couldn't roll his eyes in this form but gosh he wished he could.

Once he was done cleaning himself he got up to join his brother.

"are you alright, hyung?" he asked.

"yes and you?" do you still miss jimin?" the older one countered, worry in his eyes. At the mention of the omega's name, the jet black wolf whined. A month had passed since
they had left seoul and korea behind because he couldnt put up anymore with being a burden to jimin and still his heart kept clenching painfully in his chest everytime he heard the omega's name and there wasn't a day that passed without him thinking about him and regrettinf his rash decision.

"Always." he responded truthfully. Memories of his last discussion with jimin flashed behind his closed eyelids. He shook himself out of it.

"Everything will be alright." assured seokjin laying next to him.

The pack that inhabited the woods had been kind and amicable once they had proved that they weren't after their territory and was just on some kind of pilgrimage. They
had paid theirs respects to the
leader and swore to not trespass any of theirs rules and by no times they had been allowed to hunt on the pack's grounds and use one of the cabins as theirs for as long as they would stay. Seokjin had even begun giving some first aids and help
omegas and theirs pups. Overalls they enjoyed their time here even though fear that jimin could move on wouldnt leave him.

They waited until they're back at their cabin to shift back into theirs humas formsn, picking up the clothes they had carefully staked up on a pile next the front door and shrugging them on, except for jungkook.

"I don't feel like going to sleep right now. I'll go for a walk. He announced when his older brothers were fully clothes. Yoongi's hands under seokjin's shirt. He rolled his eyes.

"you guys look like you need some alone time.. again." he remarked, sarcasm dripping from his voice. The older men startled, the oldest swatting his mate's wandering
hands aways to turn to his younger brother.

"Sorry. We will behave." he said. Beside him his mate narrowed his eyes, disagreeing.

"Don't. I won't be long." and before any of them could say something else, he then turned around and started walking away.

It's not really a hidden place, most of the locals packs members knew about it but it's certainly jungkook's favorite place of all. The sun was already peeking out from behind the hills outlining theirs grassy curves. he paused on his tracks at the upstream
of the waterfalls, in awed by so much beauty. the scenery was simply breathtaking. In a few seconds he had dived into the cold water, the sound of the water breaking under his weight echoeing in the perfect silent
only interrupted by the chirping of birds and croaking of frogs. Soon, he emerged, completely wet, his hair forming a mop on his head but content.

When a shrill cry coming from above him shattered the blissful moment, the young man opened his eyes wide, glancing around to catch sight of the origin of such incongruous sound when something soft and hard at the same time landed at full speed on top of him, missing drowning him. he struggled to regain the surface, instinctively holding onto the first thing that his hand reached that he noticed that the thing was less a thing and more a human being, female if he considered the soft curves and roundness of something looking awfully like a breast. He jumped,
like stung while the girl went down. He hauled her up in his arms and swam to the shore without difficulties.

"Sohee! Sohee!" screamed a girl in linen dress running toward them. jungkook stood up and put as much distance toward him and the girl as possible.

She looked frail with her pale complexion, long dark hair that fell over her shoulder. Her cheeks were pink like her lips. she was pretty he thought.

"Sohee!" breathed out the girl crouching next to the inanimated one. she shot him a dark gaze that surprised and annoyed him a bit. "What did you do to her?" she accused, her gaze cold.

"Nothing. She practically fell on me." he replied offended that this girl could even assumed that he would hurt someone. She turned to stare down at the girl.

"She is the pack's leader daughter. if you hurt her he will kill you." she threatened him. A heavy silence stretched out between them one that the young alpha cut with his next reply

"I don't care. I did nothing wrong." he asserted, regretting not listening to seokjin and staying at their cabin. It was just that he missed jimin so much and that witnessing the matrimonial bliss of his older brothers was starting to make him bitter. He knew it was unfair but he couldnt help it.

Sohee as her firecracker of a friend had called her coughed out water, her eyes fluttering open to land directly on jungkook. her blush deepened and she averted her gaze.

"Na..ked" she croaked, her voice hoarse for almost drowning herself.

"What?" asked her friend. Her pretty brows knitted together.

"Naked, he is naked." she repeated, her voice a bit clearer. jungkook who had heard her turned crimson as he looked down to see that in fact in his hurry to get the girl out of water he had forgotten to put back his clothes.

He whirled around on his feet, back to where he had left his clothes without much as a last words. the two girls watched as her saviour vanished in between trees, shocked and pleased.

"Dont move. I'll call the others to help you."

"No, I can do it myself." she retorted, sitting up, her friend's arm wrapped
around her. "Who was he?" she asked.

The other girl shook her head. "No idea."

Her face took on an expression of bashfulness. she stared at her friend.

"He was cute."

"yeah i guess."

"...and big." they exchanged knowing glance, bursting into hysterical guffaws interrupted by sohee's coughing.

"I want to see him again."
