✿ Kuro's Forest

@✿ᵅ ‹ San "It's alright... I know I can be a little overwhelming.. my parents always say I'm too curious for my own good." his nose ended up scrunched up as his alpha ruffled his hair, a soft and very unpredictable giggle leaving his lips. Yugyeom coughed it off, hoping the other didn't hear that dreadful embarrassing sound.
As San confirmed his suspicion he watched as his alpha transform, himself doing the same. Yugyeom bring only a beta his firm was a lot smaller than his alphas, and he was a dark shade of grey with small patches of white along his back. With time he was quite fond of the 'little one' nickname he somehow achieved.
The smaller beta stuck right at the others side yet slightly behind as he crept as well, his ears and nose alert of every scent and noise in his surrounding "what now alpha?"

@✿ᵇ ‹ Yugyeom "Sorry. I'm not used to having such curious wolves. I'm still getting used to being an alpha. I didn't mean to seem impatient." He ruffled the beta's hair gently. "You're here to learn so any away, and I'll answer."
He watched as the other picked up a scent, lifting his head to sniff the air as well. "Yes, little one. That's a deer." He changed forms, his intimidating black alpha talking the place of his skinny, toned body. "Let's go." He crept after the scent quietly, jerking his head to gesture for Yugyeom to follow.

@✿ᵅ ‹ San Yugyeom quickly noticed the annoyance in the other, his head falling with a soft whimper erupting from the boys throat. Once he was satisfied with the answer he nodded, jotting that down mentally as he looked back up, standing up straight as his nose caught a familiar yet unfamiliar scent "Is that a deer alpha?" he asked, blinking as his head quickly turned towards the direction of the smell, his ears catching on to the soft crunches of leaves

@✿ᵇ ‹ Yugyeom San gave the beta an exasperated look as the male launched into a series of questions instead of just making note of the the instructions he was being given. He pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance and tried to summon every spare ounce of patience he possessed in order to answer all of the beta's questions. "Bears are big and dangerous, and we've been having a problem with them attacking people lately. Don't kill small bears. Those are likely babies, and that would anger their parents and probably cause us to have yet another aggressive bear on the lose. Bears can be hunted in larger hunting parties, but that's better left to us alphas. Our pack isn't that big at the moment, so it's best to leave bears alone. Deer will provide more than enough meat for us."

@✿ᵅ ‹ San Yugyeom followed behind his alpha like a lost puppy, his eyes scanning over the area as he did so as he stayed aware of their surroundings. He stopped as San crouched down, his head tilting as he looked down at the tracks, his eyebrows beginning to furrow "So only the small animals I can hunt? but why not bears? Has anyone defeated bears? what about small bears? maybe one bear alone? What if you had multiple others with you? could you defeat a bear then?" he asked, his mouth rambling with endless questions as curiosity filled the wonder filled beta.

@✿ᵇ ‹ Yugyeom "Alright, watch your step, little beta." San called to his pack member. Yugyeom wasn't small by any means, in fact he was at least a good three or four inches taller than San, and broader by comparison, given San's surprisingly narrow and waspish waist. However, San was still the alpha, and the more experienced one of the duo, so the other still felt 'little' to him.
"See these tracks?" he knelt down beside some large, clawed footprints on the ground. "Bear tracks. Don't follow them. A bear could kill your . Stick to deer, rabbits, squirrel, the smaller stuff. We don't need you getting injured."

@✿ᵒ ‹ Taehyung You could fall and hurt yourself and I don't want that to happen.

-skids to a stop at the bottom of the tree-
Taehyung, you can't go through your head in a tree! Please come down.

@✿ᵒ ‹ Jungkook ( okay ;3; sNORTS poor you xD how can you ever get your mind out of the gutter lol )

/releases a small bark at the sudden question, guessing that he should try to entertain your questions to keep you awake/ /tries to keep his movements to a minimum hearing your pained whines/ Blood. /snarls out, speeding up just to cross the last bit of distance left/ /sighs once they've arrived, shifting back to his human form and carries you inside to one of the patient beds/ /grabs one of the doctor robes to at least cover some of his ness before quickly going to work mode, readying everything he needs to treat you/

@✿ᵒ ‹ Taeil You'll be fine. Nothing will happen. /squeezes your hand lightly in reassurance/
I'm alright for the moment.

@✿ᵒ ‹ Jungkook *holds onto your hand tightly and looks where I'm stepping*
'M fine... As fine as I can be anyway.
How are you holding up?

@✿ᵒ ‹ Taeil /holding your hand as he lead the way into the forest, mumbling things to himself/ You okay back there, Tae? /glances over his shoulder and tilts his head a little/

@✿ᵇ ‹ Daehyun [ ITS OKAY NO NEED TO SOB ;;;;; it doesn't help when your girls sent you 24/7 on kkt ]

y-you smell like pack, are you a kuro too? /mumbles, buries his face into the soft fur and whines when a sharp movement caused a sharp pain to run down his spine when the wound was jostled/ ow. /black dots began to cloud his vision as he tried to fight the exhaustion off by asking the wolf a few questions; hoping it would keep him awake until they arrived/ h-how did you....find me? the scent of blood? or?

@✿ᵒ ‹ Jungkook [ SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY SOBS AND SNORTS It's not always a bad thing to have zee mind in the gutter~ ene ]

/he'd be rolling his eyes and snorting if he was back in his human form at your words, like hell he'd let you smack him, really/ /tries to keep his pace as fast as possible but not too fast that you'll be jostled all over his back, he doesn't want to add more to your pain. Most especially he doesn't want to make you uncomfortable as well. He's not sure if you have fractures but it's always better to be safe than sorry/ /whines pitifully at the painful sounds you were releasing but he could finally release a relieved sigh inwardly once he sees the hospital tent nearby. Just a bit more/

@✿ᵇ ‹ Jaejoong *laughs and shrugs*
Well, I guess you can just catch what I cook; I really enjoy cooking.
*grins sheepishly and rubs the back of my neck*
Sorry, I give everyone a nickname.
Jin is Jongjin, Zi is Zico, and JaeJae is Jaehyo.
You guys have made sure I wasn't lonely anymore, which is very much appreciated.
*smiles a bit and chuckles*
Don't sell yourself short~
The way you cut things can actually influence the taste; if you cut them too small, you wouldn't taste it that much, too large and it overpowers the other flavors.
Besides, stirring is also important, and you did that too.

@✿ᵒ ‹ Taeil *shrugs helplessly* It's too much... it's so boring! *sighs, and I might seem like a young kid, but I hardly ever do anything I am not interested in*
*which is why I spend my free days outside, training*
*sighs and hums* * a brow when you say you consider me a friend, interesting, you really /are/ naive*
Who are these people, though? I've never heard of these... nicknames? *tilts head and eats some to nod and agree with you*
True! It tastes good... I didn't do anything but cut stuff though... you made it good, hah.

@✿ᵇ ‹ Jaejoong (Oh wow I'm sorry bbu ;;)

*grins proudly once we have our bowl of soup done but laughs at your tired looking face*
Did it really take that much out of you?
*chuckles and thinks about your question, nodding and smiling*
Yeah actually, I feel lots better.
Between you, Jin, Zi, and JaeJae, I'll be alright I believe; I'm pretty sure none of you would betray me.
*smiles and blows on the soup before taking a bite*
Hmm, see, you did a good job!
This is really good!

@✿ᵒ ‹ Taeil [instead of poking, here's a continuation of my previous post]

*once the meal is ready I feel satisfied, but exhausted, as if peeling potatoes and stirring soup takes more energy than hunting for hours on end*
*sits at your table with a bowl of steaming hot soup and blows on it, while smiling and keeping the conversation going with you*
So, you feel better now, right? With some new friends here and there... *hums, you do seem a bit too naive, but maybe you'll learn with time... or so I hope* I hope they're worthy and won't betray you.

@✿ᵇ ‹ Jaejoong You're right... I just... I've never felt like this before...
It's scary... I'm not used to dealing with feelings and emotions like he makes me feel...
*follows you, feeling safe and protected with you around*
*changes forms as well, feeling less than in my human form*
*Curls up a few feet away from you, feeling a little restless as its early, but I do need the rest, and I eventually drift off*

(Okie~ ^^ ♥)

@☪ᵒ ‹ Baekhyun *hums* You really need to speak with him... openly.. about your feelings. He has to know.
He doesn't have a way to know your feelings unless you show him...
*hums and thinks as we walk back to our little improvised camp*
Bed time. *stretches up and yawns softly*
*being the primitive wolf I am, going to sleep with the sunset is usual for me*
*I decide to sleep in my wolf form in order to keepm myself warm, cuddling in the leaves all night*


[Yup! I will post a starter for you two later. Jae will need to tell him first and maybe he'll bring Yoongi to Baek's hideout lol]

@✿ᵇ ‹ Jaejoong Yes...
I mean like... what if he thinks I'm just hopping around ing leaders or something
Or that I slept with him to get away from Jiyong...
I don't want him to think things like that...
*gets out of the springs and shakes off, wishing there were towels, but oh well, this is the wild, and I won't be spoiled here like I was in Shiro*
Bed time?

(We ready for Yoongi now?)

@✿ᵇ ‹ Daehyun [ WHAT- I CAN'T HELP IT. MY MIND IS NATURALLY IN THE GUTTER ;;;; ]

I would smack you if I had the energy to do so, /he rolled his eyes playfully, pressing down on the wound on his side and hissed in pain/ A-Ah, what are you- /raises an eyebrow when you grabbed his arms before gently placing them on your shoulders, tilting his head to the side in confusion; but before he could ask you anything more, the next thing he knew he was resting against your back/ I'll try. But...no promises. /he bite his lower lip, biting back the cry of pain that was itching to be released/

@☪ᵒ ‹ Baekhyun *hums and nods, is it really so though?*
* a brow* Your true identity? Like, the fact you were to be mated to the leader?
*chuckles* Isn't it funny, you're tageting the leader of Kuro as well. Ah, such a heartbreaker~ *jokes lightheartedly and gets up, getting the water run down my body*
*gets out and nods with a chuckle* You could say so.
*hums and turns to my wolf form, shaking off the water and stopping when I am relatively dry, just a bit damp, before changing into human again*

@✿ᵇ ‹ Jaejoong That's good. They say time heals all wounds~
Of course I'm nervous... he doesn't know my true identity...
and he doesn't know I got kicked out for sleeping with him.
Alright.
*chuckles softly* Wore you out, huh?

@✿ᵒ ‹ Taeil *shakes head* Not at all.
*tilts head, wondering if cute suits me*
*laughs* You have a point... do explain, or I'll easily up something seemingly simple.
*shakes head and my own hopelessness* *peels away*
*nods* Okay. *hums, I could have brought some fresh beef, but I decide against it, since the one you have does look quite fresh* *looks away from the meat, the only thing I am familiar with, and begins cutting the potatoes*

@☪ᵒ ‹ Baekhyun *feels a bit awkward when you talk about Yoongi like this, he's my friend and my boss, so it feels kind of... weird*
*shrugs* It will. It's a matter of time. *is not something I truly believe in, but... I don't want to be looked down upon, it's only my problem*
*chuckles* Hell... So nervous... I wonder... *sighs* I will tell him about you tomorrow. *yawns*
Let's get out before I fall asleep and drown in here.

@✿ᵇ ‹ Jaejoong You're probably right... *smiles sheepishly as I think about it*
I used to get in fights a lot because if someone was an to me, I'd stand up for myself...
I punched someone for shaming me, ended up in a crazy fight, but yeah, I'm not gonna let anyone talk to me.
Serious and seriously y *chuckles softly* His glare... *shivers softly at the thought* so hot...
Oh... I see. I hope this... '' gets better for you then.
*pets your head softly in an attempt to be comforting*
Good, because I'd have to fight you *teases, knowing if Yoongi liked you, he'd give him up to let him be happy*
Not yet. I'm gonna die seeing him. I'm nervous about it. I wonder if he'll be mad

@✿ᵇ ‹ Jaejoong Oh okay, good.
Not used to being called cute, huh?
*laughs and hums a bit, grinning sheepishly*
Well hey, I don't know what you know and what you don't know; you only said you don't know how to cook, so I had to explain it just in case.
*takes the beef out of the fridge and the knife out of the drawer*
I'm gonna go ahead and start on the beef while you do that, okay?

@☪ᵒ ‹ Baekhyun *shakes head* Prideful can be good. Especially for an Omega. Even nowadays some dare to play around with your kind. So it's better to act superior and stand for yourself. Yoongi isn't the one who'd toy around, though...
*hums* He's... a serious man... a great guy *repears your words and grins*
*laughs* No, not a crush. But I did go through... quite some... recently *shrugs, it's obvious it's not something I want to get into detail about*
And my well-being depended on him for some time. He helped me through my worst times and he has become a leader I can follow. It's all I need to feel like I belong in the pack. So I just have a great respect for him. I'm not stealing your man! *huffs and sprays some water on you, but relaxes right after, sighing deeply*
He doesn't even know you're here yet. So chill.

@✿ᵒ ‹ Taeil You didn't. *chuckles and waves it off* I was merely surprised.
*hums and looks around your place, it looks neat, makes me feel a bit more embarrassed of myself, knowing the kind of mess I have at home... I manage to make a mess, even if I don't really own that much?*
*washes hands after you and takes the potatoes as you give me instructions and chuckles*
I know how to do this! I had to learn to do a few things... I am still not good, but... I do try. I do get tired of raw meat... *says and begins to peel them, not quite like an animal, but with the same care I'd put into it*
*looks over to your side to check what you're doing meanwhile*
