Horizon | ATEEZ - Omegaverse

Chapter Fourteen

San's running through the forest, unable to stop smiling at the fact that in just a few days he will be setting foot on the grounds of his fated mate's home. Ever since San received that letter inviting him to Chrysalis to learn about their ways of life, his mind has been filled with thoughts of Seonghwa.

After Seonghwa's departure last year, he's all San has been thinking about. His fated mate, his future lover. One fact he can't forget, however, was how much Seonghwa denied the clear reality of the two of them being meant for each other in every sense of the meaning. San knows that when he arrives at the grounds of Chrysalis, he's going to do everything in his power to get Seonghwa to recognize and accept him as his fated mate.

Seonghwa has a hard shell closing himself off from the outside world, but San intends to break that shell down. However hellacious those efforts may be, San knows he's going to be able to see a new side to Seonghwa throughout this month-long visit.

There's a lot awaiting him in Chrysalis, and San isn't going to let this pass him by.

San has been traveling ever since receiving the letter, having packed as fast as he could after speaking to the elders of his pack about the opportunity. The elders pushed for San to go, telling him how it's about time he finally gets out of Eclipse grounds for once. San felt bad about having to leave his pack, but when his elders said how much he stays there to care for everyone, he realized that he really has always just stayed in Eclipse. He's been content in staying there with no real reason to leave... not until now, that is.

San slows his running down to a brisk walk as he approaches a small stream, happy to take a break for a drink after such a long time spent running.

"I really needed this," San thinks time himself as he laps up the freshwater from the stream. He rests himself down into a sitting position but is soon brought back up into attention when he senses a presence in the area around him.

"Who's here?" San thinks, beginning to walk towards the presence.

Soon, San spots a pair of wolves walking towards him and the stream. He wonders what two males of alpha and omega descent are doing out here. Could they be mates? San stands his ground, not wanting to shift back into his human form to speak to them until he's felt out the situation.

Yeosang nudges his head into Dongwoo's side, "Dongwoo, someone else is here. Do you feel it?"

Dongwoo hums lowly, as to show his mate that yes he does feel it and that he will protect him.

Yeosang and Dongwoo have been traveling for a while now. After Dongwoo received that letter from Chrysalis inviting him and his mate to their grounds to learn about their values, they began packing that night and left the following morning. Yeosang has been excited about the prospect of learning more about the other packs around them and Dongwoo shared his interest. They're both looking forward to spending the month there together.

"Don't worry, Yeo. Just stay behind me a bit and we will check it out together, okay?" Dongwoo sends to him in a calm voice, as to not worry Yeosang.
