Chapter Thirty Four

The day before all of the guests go back to their own packs has come, and San once again hasn't seen Seonghwa. No matter how many times he tries to knock on his door at night to be met with silence. He would peek in a few times to check on him, but he was never even in his bed.

Now, he's on his way to the farewell gathering that was announced for all the guests of Chrysalis.

Every step he took felt like another crack in his heart. He just wanted to see his love. One glimpse would be all he'd need to make it through the undetermined time he will be going without him, or so he'd tell himself. His wolf would cry every night as he lay in bed without his fated mate.

He has to keep a cheerful face for this gathering though, he tells himself as he enters to see a group of his friends congregated together chatting happily.

"San, you're finally here!" Wooyoung cheers from under Yeosang's arm, snuggling further into him, "Sangie was just wondering where you were."

Yeosang nods, unable to hide his glancing towards the left of the grounds. San follows Yeosang's eyes as he speaks, "I've just been going a little slow recently, sorry gu-" He pauses when he sees Seonghwa standing with his parents, happiness filling his body from seeing him.

"He's... Been over there with them for a while," Yeosang says with a sad look on his face as he speaks to San.

Jongho scoffs and crosses his arms, "He didn't even come to say 'hello' when he got here."

Hongjoong narrows his eyes at Jongho, "Hush, you know what's going on, Jongho."

"It doesn't make it any less rude," he huffs.

"It's okay," San sighs, resting his back against one of the pillars as he gazes over at the beauty that is Seonghwa, admiring the way his lips move as he speaks to his parents. Ah, his lips... San's cheeks redden as he remembers the way they felt on his own and he looks away, knowing his eyes must be the same color as his cheeks, "He couldn't come over here to us, his parents won't let us be around each other it seems."

"I mean, you two were found in bed together. Were you not?" Jongho asks and his shoulder is met by Hongjoong's fist once again. He's lucky that it's never been dislocated with the amount of strength Hongjoong possesses.

"Jongho, enough."

Jongho smirks and pushes the alpha back, recently finding their play-fighting to be more of finding a reason to touch each other than actual hostility.

"Look at his red face though," Jongho chuckles as he makes fun of San's blush, "Why don't you try to go get him again?" He teases, "Wait, that went well, didn't it?"

Hongjoong's eyes widen, knowing Jongho's words might've gone too far with joking this time and he pulls him aside, away from the group.

"What the fuck? Jongho, you can't just do that," Hongjoong seethes, grabbing hold of both of his shoulders as they're in one of the small passageways between buildings, "Get your damn act together, won't you?" He bares his teeth at him.
