𝐄𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞 : strawberries and friendship

Minho

"It's time for us to go." I placed a cold towel on the smaller's head.

Jisung looked to me with blank eyes, his body shaking ever so slightly.

My expression became somewhat sad for a moment.

"Try not to move to much, okay?" I smiled softly, slipping my arm underneath his knees and torso.

I was going to carry him to the car, and make sure he was as comfortable as he could be until we got to Nezi's house.

The girl had rushed off to grab her belongings and inform Taeri they'd be leaving earlier than expected. That made me feel even more like crap because I'd forgotten Nezi was Tae's ride home.

Jisung's little body curled up into my chest, his warm breath puffing out onto my neck.

"Are you okay love?" I asked quietly, pushing the doors open with my foot.

He was barely able to hum out a yes, one hand weakly gripping my shirt.

"Good." I whispered tenderly.

The night was cool, and crisp. While the air was fresh and smelled of pine.

We'd have to sneak out of camp quietly and hope no one see's or wakes up, because technically we aren't supposed to leave for another day or so.

I breathed out quietly, Jisung's little whimpers sounding right into my ear as he tried to quiet himself.

I frowned invisibility, looking around for nezi's white car.

"Hey Minho, over here" Taeri's soft whisper shout came from behind a few cabins across from our own.

If I'm honest, taeri has been a bit more reserved? As of lately. She's quieter and less, who would I say this, narcissistic. I wonder if it has anything to do with the sudden friendship blossoming with Jisung. Or maybe it has more to do with her relationship with Nezi. Those two have always gotten along, but they seem a lot closer as of late. I think it's a rather good idea though. Nezi's influence may be just what Taeri needs.

"Ah, coming" I was quick to catch up with the girls, the little car coming into clear view.

It was the only one in the tiny lot, so it was obvious enough.

Nezi was cleaning it up just a bit, putting papers and her own personal belongings away in compartments. She then opened up the trunk, pulling out what looked like a blanket.

"Oh, Minho, did you have any bags you needed? I could try and be of assistance to you." Taeri seemed a little tired, though she looked happy to help. Genuinely.

"I do actually, but are you sure? I could just get Jisung comfortable then go back and grab them." I protested just a bit, not wanting to force the girl to go back to the cabin.

"Oh it's alright really, I don't mind it. It'll help wake me up. Plus, I don't think you should leave his side, not when he'll develop the mate links with a few hours."

"That's. . . a valid point. Thanks again Tae." I smiled to the girl, who did the same in return before walking off into the night.

"I've got a blanket!" Nezi announced happily, as if she was proud to have such a useful thing stowed away in her car.

I giggled, "thanks, we may need it in a while."

"I thought so. I was getting a feeling you might." She smiled, pulling the doors to the back seat open. "You should let him lie down on you, it'll be better for his spine. Plus, once his senses enhance to their peak, he'll need to be as close to you as possible. Especially during the time he experiences the mate link. That'll be a roller coaster." The small girl snickered, though she was happy to be of help.

"Will do," I laughed a little, "but in all seriousness, thank you so much for this nez. I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't helped out."

"Ah, no biggie! It's the minsung couple were talking about! Who wouldn't help you two?" She giggled.

"Minsung? Really? That's the best you came up with?"

"Yes lee Minho. Minsung."

It wasn't long before taeri had come back, halling ass like it was nothing. Honestly those bags are quite heavy, so I'm glad she was able to move them both at once.

Nezi was there to greet her, and help stow the bags in the trunk.

Though currently, Jisung and I were comfortable in the back seat. His head was placed within my lap, his little body lying curled up next to me as I toyed with his soft brown hair.

He'd knocked out again due to his sudden temperature change. This time he was actually a lot colder, which was a bit alarming but we handled it.

Nezi had wrapped Jisung up like a burrito, and I'd pulled my hoodie over his head to make sure he was as warm as possible. He was still a bit shaky, even in his sleep, but my body heat did a lot more than I thought It would to calm him down.

When the girls had finally gotten settled, and Nezi had made it quite clear the aux cord was her's to use, we'd gotten moving.

The music she'd chosen to play was a mix of lofi, soft or quiet songs, instrumental, as well as music box melodies. Which, on a clear quiet night like this was just so utterly calming.

The atmosphere seemed to have even helped Jisung's state. He seemed to have sharped his sensory, and his moods were starting to depend a lot more on the surrounding details of his whereabouts. Sort of like how a dog would feel sad if it could sense a human's discomfort. Though don't get it wrong, werewolves aren't dogs.

"Thanks again Nezi. And I'm sorry it was such a sudden request." My voice was soft as I spoke through the quiet car.

"Don't worry about anything Minho, that's what friends are for. Plus, you needed to look out for your mate. How could I say no?" Nezira smiled, the colar of her over sized crew neck slipping down her shoulder.

And I could've sworn I saw a faint little mark. While my nose picked up a faint scent of Strawberries.

Nezi, smelled like taeri.
