While putting the poster up in the fitness center, Baekhyun checked out the facilities. He had been thinking about toning up for a while.

@dove c。ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡᵇᵃᵇʸ "Oooo 75% huh? I must be doing something right," Yoora's smile matched the jolly laughter of the girl in her arms finding her description as enchanting as her twinkling laughter. "One free pass to have anything I want... that's a lot of responsibility I can't take that offer lightly. I'll keep that in mind though I would have done this either way. I want to be a part of what makes you happy, to know more and understand the things that bring you joy in life so that in the future I can be a good mate to you. Understanding your needs, happiness, desires are all a journey I'm more than happy to take so I know all I can about spending the rest of my life being the person that can always leave you glowing for the rest of our days. And no, I'm not going to forget, especially not when you have a bruise growing on your forehead baby..." But expecting nothing less the younger played it off as though the entire incident was just another Tuesday. Finding the opportunity to make up for that would be easy enough once they were home, an arm snaking around the younger's petite waist as they began their trek to the cerulean porshe parked out front. "Yes, I drove though I was very tempted to shift and get here faster but... I don't think the staff would care too much for a frenzied wolf to burst through their doors." Politely opening the door for the fae Yoora made sure the woman was buckled in securely before taking her place in the driver's seat to make the short journey back to Dove's place. "Is this the first time you've driven with me?"

@yoora p。ʸʸᵒᵒʳʳᵃ ()Awwww good I'm so glad you're prioritizing rest as much as possible right now. I hope you're feeling even better today!!

Being with Yoora was like being gravitationally connected. When Yoora exhaled, Dove inhaled. When Dove moved, Yoora accommodated. Even without the blond of a Claiming mark or anything like that, Dove was intrinsically connected to her alpha and it felt so natural that she didn't even notice it. "Of course I had fun because of you~. Whenever you're around, my happiness level is like... boosted at least 75% from my baseline." Dove laughed brightly at the way she'd explained it, unable to think of how to better illustrate just what her girlfriend did to her mood. "Now you've done something I love, I owe you. One free pass to have Dove do anything you want, Yoora~." She added, squeezing the taller womans hand firmly. "You're really not gonna let me forget about the fainting--" Dove cut off with an exasperated laugh and pulled away just long enough to finish rolling up her yoga mat, putting it away, and tossing her towel in the hamper where the staff would later switch it out to do laundry. "I jogged to work today which I think was my first mistake, so I don't have my car with me. Did you drive?"

@dove c。ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡᵇᵃᵇʸ Everything always felt right when Dove was beside her, the alpha so inescapably drawn to the petite girl that there was no denying the beauty had her wrapped around her angelic little fingers - and Yoora certainly had no complaints about that. "I love being here with you, especially if you keep greeting me like this~ You had fun though? Because of me?" The alpha couldn't fathom why but as the younger began to explain a faint hint of peach began to sprinkle upon Yoora's cheek recognizing the praise for what it was but also ecstatic to know that rather than embarrassing herself in front of her girlfriend she'd actually managed to impress the fae. "I'll call today an absolute success then aside from you fainting," Her smile never faltered, full of warmth and brightness as she slipped her fingers along side her omega's dropping a kiss atop the crown of blonde before nodding looking around to make sure all of the class materials were neatly rolled back into place and organized so the fairy wouldn't have more work than necessary in the morning. "That sounds like a perfect end to our day, I can't wait. Shall I meet you there or should we ride together?"

[] I legit went straight to sleep when I got home after work V.V but the clammy feeling is gone for now thankfully. Everything else will hopefully be better tomorrow

@yoora p。ʸʸᵒᵒʳʳᵃ When Yoora looked at her like she was the most important person in the world, Dove felt that love in her chest swell three times bigger. She pushed a few stray strands of her alpha's soft hair back from her face. Kissing her back as softly as she could allow herself, the little fae couldn't keep from wanting more. So much more. "I love having you near me. This was the funnest I've had teaching a beginning class in ages. I got a great first row seat to your y self bending every which way I told you to. And you did so well." Dove giggled, crinkling her nose as she finally unhooked her ankles and got off of Yoora. "Lets get our things, head to my place, we'll take a shower, preferably together, and then we'll order some dinner and have a chill night, how's that sound?"

@dove c。ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡᵇᵃᵇʸ Easily carrying the younger's weight - though in truth the fae's delicate weight wasn't even a challenge - Yoora's smile never broke, letting her fingers brush against the blonde streaks in total adoration before moving down to the tinted rose that dusted the rounded cheeks which made her dimples all the more prominent. When Dove was happy it was like the moon and stars were in perfect alignment and all was right with the world. She never wanted to be the cause of destroying that lovely smile. "I'm happy I did too. The class wasn't as bad as I expected but more than that I'm pleased to have gotten to spend so much time with you." Reaching up to place a tender kiss on her forehead where a faint bruise had formed from her unfortunate tumble before leaning in to capture the plush lips she simply couldn't get enough of. "When I rushed over here I called in for the day so I'm all yours. At your every beck and call, mi'lady. Just tell me what you'd like and it's yours."

@yoora p。ʸʸᵒᵒʳʳᵃ "Goodbye! Thank you again!" Dove called after the last guest, a chatty older woman and her friend. Once they were all gone, she sighed with a happy smile until suddenly she was in Yoora's arms with a surprised squeak, laughing into the kiss happily as she wrapped her legs around her alphas hips, ankles locked together behind her. Watching Yoora gush about her made a dove face heat up, a deep pink flush across her cheeks as she grew a little bashful.

"Thank you, baby, I'm so happy you came. And you did great! I don't know what you were so worried about." Dove reassured her girlfriend.

"I'm off work now actually, that was my last class for the day so we can just grab our things and leave. We have a janitorial staff that sanitizers the room after the day is over. Did you have somewhere to go tonight or can I have the rest of your night? "

@dove c。ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡᵇᵃᵇʸ In truth Yoora didn't know what to expect. For someone who carried herself as the elder did most would probably assume that she was the type to dip lattes and take pillates but in truth the wolf preferred more active ways of releasing energy to keep the restless beast in check and calm those most basic of instincts that left her on alert. However as much of a delight as it was to see her girlfriend bending and stretching before her (the wolf herself admittedly making a mistake once or twice just to have an excuse to feel the fae's hands on her body) Yoora was truly impressed by the relaxing atmosphere and how the beauty went out of her way to make sure everyone was happy and accommodated. This was truly Dove's works and Yoora felt blessed to be able to step into it even for an hour.

Once the session was over Yoora found herself beaming from ear to ear waiting for the rest of the clientele to file out before scooping the woman into a living embrace and letting their lips collide in bliss. "Oh my goodness you were brilliant Dove! You were made for this. I can see why you love it so much. I'm so proud of you babe. Are you getting off work soon?"

@yoora p。ʸʸᵒᵒʳʳᵃ A few of the students of the class came up to speak with Dove for a moment before they started. She offered each of them her full attention and a kind smile as she listened to their thoughts, concerns, and questions, answering everything with full confidence and reassurance as well as empathy. Soon, she was calling the class to order. "My name is Dove~. I want to thank you all for bringing yourself here to share some moments of vulnerability with me as you start a very important journey in connecting with yourself and your body. During this class, we're going to focus on some very basic stretches, and poses that will help you feel a greater sense of awareness in your body and some calm, as well as hopefully some improved bloodflow. When you move your body in gentle, intentional ways, your muscles which are so often held tensely for hours upon hours in your day, will become warm, and maliable, and as they relax, they'll allow your blood, lymph, lactic acid, and even bile, flow more smoothly through the pathways within you. I will always offer adjusted positions for those of you who might not be able to achieve the full pose." Dove started her explanation as she made her way to stand at her sunny yellow yoga mat. Looking over her students, she offered a sweet smile. "If at any point you feel overwhelmed, or as though you cannot continue with a move, or even the rest of the session, please do not feel afraid to simply lay on your mat, close your eyes, and use this opportunity to rest instead. During this class, I will come around occasionally and assist you in correcting posture. If any of you do not wish to be touched, please raise your hand." She waited for a moment, taking a quick scan of the room for anyone who did raise their hand, or seemed to want to. Once she was satisfied, she took a stance on her mat with her feet shoulder width apart.

"Okay, we're going to start in this position. Take your feet shoulder width apart. Your heels should sit directly beneath your shoulders, toes pointed straight forward at the mirror. If you feel your balance wavering in this position, be mindful of the position of your spine and hips. You may find that your pelvis is tilted too far backward. Imagine, in this position, that you are trying to touch the inside of your belly button to your spine. This will straighten the position of your sacrum and lumbar, and position your center of gravity where it belongs. Lift your arms parallel to the floor to either side of you as if you were a bird about to take flight-- good, there we go that looks great everyone~ Now bend your elbows at a 90 degree angle so your hands are open, palms facing forward just like your feet, this should make your chest feel open, and light. We're going to inhale slowly, and deeply, I want you to concentrate on the path of your breath through the nostrils, and down into your lungs. Feel if fill every corner of your lungs, and feel the energy it brings you. Once your lungs are full, slowly whisper that breath back up from the bottom of your lungs first, up your throat, and over your tongue, between your lips, and press the energy back into the world around you to make room for more..."

As the class continued, Dove delicately guided them through each move, and how to breathe through each one. After demonstrating the pose, she often got up and came around the dim room, using her gentle, warm touch to carefully guide them through each position if she saw someone holding their weight incorrectly. She only had to step over to Yoora once or twice to guide her shoulders into the right pose before moving on. At the end of the 30 minutes class, she had them all laying on their mats in a relaxed shavasana pose to lay, relax, and meditate on how they felt. 5 minutes after that, she gently dimmed down the audio of the nature track playing.

"Good job, everyone! I am so proud of all of you, this was an amazing class. I really hope you felt the same. The next class at this ability level will be on Thursday at 5 pm if you would like to return. Have a wonderful evening!" She praised them all cheerfully, and started to clean up.

@dove c。ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡᵇᵃᵇʸ Those brazen words had the elder's skin growing hot knowing she was nowhere near as outspoken as Dove was though she admired the woman's unabashed nature. If it weren't for the fact that their sanctity would soon be interrupted by a room fool of strangers the brunette was certain the fae would have ended up in her lap without a second thought. The contrast of those sinful words with the innocent kiss watching the smaller literally hop up to reach her height had the heat softening into a warm glow, hazel orbs burning gold as they eyed her beautiful lover fondly. "Yes, ma'am. I'll follow your every command to the ends of the Earth~" It was impossible NOT to watch as Dove walked away, the fitted clothing showcasing her perfectly sculpted and Yoora knew this would perhaps be a testament to how deeply she felt for the woman that she was actually willing herself to sit through the entire lesson and try her best despite having next to no experience while the fairy, ever the professional, got everyone prepared.

@yoora p。ʸʸᵒᵒʳʳᵃ They still had a few minutes before everyone else for the class filtered in, so Dove walked over to where Yoora was settling at her mat, offering her a reassuring smile. "Yes, it's completely normal to be nervous. I promise, we aren't going to be doing anything more difficult than some of the positions we've done in bed, baby." Dove promised, and popped up in a bounce to kiss Yoora's cheek. "You'll copy what I do and I'll talk the class through every breath and muscle movement. Don't stress babe. This is all about relaxing today." With a wink, Dove trotted back to the head of the class, just as a group of both women and a few men wandered in, different ages, races, and body types.

"Hi everyone!!! Welcome~. Thank you so much for joining me today, we're gonna have a great, relaxing session. Take some time to find a space where you feel comfortable, roll out your mats, and get settled. We're gonna get started in about 5 minutes. If you have any questions, mobility restrictions, or anything you'd like to tell me, please feel free to come up here!"

@dove c。ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡᵇᵃᵇʸ The darkness of the room melted into the soothing yet oddly romantic ambiance that had the wolf curious what the rest of the class would be like. Between the dim lighting and the relaxing nature sounds that filled the mini studio Yoora found it less and less like a place of business and more like Dove's personal playground. She loved that the blonde beauty had a place to make and call her own, doing something that she truly enjoyed even when it resulted in untimely injuries but it was nothing short of spectacular. "So I just... go over there and... copy what you do right? Is it normal to be this nervous? It would be really embarrassing to make a fool of myself right after you asked me out." She laughed though keeping her composure as she found the dark mat that she assumed was for her.

@yoora p。ʸʸᵒᵒʳʳᵃ "Ahhh you're making me blush, Yoora~" She laughed, and hopped a little from foot to foot as her energy and excitement seemed to be replenished. Dove couldn't keep from giggling happily when Yoora got up, and nuzzled her nose with hers. "See you soon, beautiful." Dove pouted a bit as she let Yoora part from her, heart fluttering as quick as a hummingbirds wing as she practically skipped to the studio floor, already oblivious to the bruise on her forehead. She quickly set up the room, dimming the lights and turning on a couple fans. This wasn't a bikhram class, so the heat would remain off. She set out her bright yellow yoga mat at the head of the class by the mirrors, and set out a loaner mat in black at the back for Yoora, setting a waterbottle next to it as well as a small foam roller, and a couple large rubber balls that were inflated, but had some squish to them.

@dove c。ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡᵇᵃᵇʸ Chuckling at the smaller's determination there was no denying that Yoora was completely and utterly smitten for the tiny fae. "If I'm being honest I'm afraid of being too close to you. Having your scent that close and having you within arms distance... I don't want to traumatize your class by going feral. It might be safer if I'm in the back so I can at least pretend I'm watching you for the right reasons." She admitted dragging a hand through the caramel locks before taking Dove's though careful not to use too much strength as she rose from her place and grabbed her bag nudging her nose against the fae's with a loving smile. "I'll see you in a bit gorgeous." Strolling to the aforementioned locker room the elder quickly slipped out of the formal business suit she'd worn for work and into a comfortable pair of burgundy yoga pants along with a simple t-shirt that hung just below her making her way back to where the next class would be held.

@yoora p。ʸʸᵒᵒʳʳᵃ Sighing a little with a forlorn tone, Dove pouted as Yoora confirmed that they'd have to celebrate their new relationship status more later.She snuck one more sweet kiss before finally pulling herself up to her feet with a stretch. "Mmm, their's a little locker room just across the hall where you can change, and put your things away so you don't have to worry about them while we're in class. I do need to go set up a few things, so I'll see you in there. Do you want your yoga mat near mine, or in the back?" Dove asked softly as she pulled her hair up into a smooth ponytail and holding a hand out to Yoora to help her up.

@dove c。ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡᵇᵃᵇʸ At least Yoora wouldn’t have to hide the fact that she undoubtedly would be struggling not to let her eyes wander over the impish girl and her lithe body even in such a relaxing and professional setting. No matter how refined and composed the elder was she was still a wolf at heart and the beast within had no qualms with claiming what belonged to the alpha. Girlfriend… Just the thought sent an undeniable surge of tingles dragging down her spine like a cat lazily stretching it’s body after a short nap. Dove was truly a godsend. Years and years of searching had never brought her as close to anyone as she’d gotten to the fae within mere weeks. It was titillating how quickly their fondness for each other moved, the connection almost instant as she was drawn to the petite blonde unaware that she in turn had the same affect upon the younger. No one had to tell her whether it was wrong or right, whether she was being foolish for jumping into such a relationship so quickly when there was still so much left to learn about the fairy but this was precicesly what made her want it even more: more opportunities to know and understand the fairy and every aspect of her life, to share with Dove as openly as the fairy had been with her, to allow her vulnerabilities to be exposed because no one else could ever make Yoora feel so full and found, lost in a maze with only one exit to happiness with the blonde patiently waiting on the other side. After a life full of bitterness, regret, and undeniable sadness, the wolf accepted that this wasn’t a gift she would let waste away into nothingness.

Lips hard pressed against the plush Yoora somehow tuned out the arrival of footsteps along with the firm knock to the door wanting nothing more than to spend the rest of the day showering Dove in all the love and attention she could possibly muster, biting back a laugh at the playful comment before following her gaze towards the intruder who unwittingly interrupted the sweet moment with her omega. Giving her slender waist a squeeze Yoora sighed reluctantly breaking away from the kiss with a beaming smile resting her forehead against the smaller before easing her lover back to the ground ignoring the pink that tinted her own cheeks at having been caught in the act. “Looks like duty calls. I guess we’ll just have to put this celebration on pause for now but I’m looking forward to seeing you in your element. Oh I…” Glancing towards her bag and back toward Dove the brunette brushed slender digits through her disheveled hair recalling her initial plans for coming. “I should slip out of this suit and into something more, gym appropriate. It’ll just take me a minute. Do you need to set up for your next class? I can just meet you there.”

@yoora p。ʸʸᵒᵒʳʳᵃ Dove hadn't been expecting Yoora to be so keen on the idea of a little round Dove. The thought of an affectionate alpha all over her while pregnant was too much for Dove to even imagine at the moment without actually combusting, so with pink cheeks, she let Yoora change the topic. She tossed her head back and laughed at the wolfs incredulous tone. "I didn't realize~. I'll try not to enjoy your eyes on me too much." She promised, still full of mirth and contentment.

The next moment they shared was intimate, and left Dove feeling a little vulnerable, but Yoora didn't leave her hanging for long at all, responding to the positive almost immediately. Grinning so broadly it made her dimples ache, Dove was hard pressed to put even an inch between her and Yoora after the alpha agreed to be hers. The twirl had her clinging to Yoora just that much tighter as she basked in the kisses, and promises. "I already am the happiest person on the planet Yoora, just being yours. I really adore you. Every part of you. Even the furry parts. Especially the furry parts." Dove giggled at her little tease, waggling her eyebrows before pulling Yoora into an even deeper kiss than the last. If there hadn't been a knock at the door during, she might have let herself get carried away. She leaned back just in time to see a friendly face peek in. She didn't make to jump off of her girlfriend, instead looking over her shoulder to the door with a smile.

"10 minutes till class, you feeling okay now?" The middle aged woman asked, seeming a little flustered by the scene but courteous enough to not say anything about it.

"Much better! I'll be right in~" Dove promised in a happy chirp, and the lady left, closing the door behind her. Instead of getting up right away, Dove took Yoora's lips in another kiss, letting in linger so it might carry her through the last class of the day.

@dove c。ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡᵇᵃᵇʸ "I have never in my life heard anyone say that but for some reason it sounds kind of y when you do. I bet you look really cute with your belly all round and full..." The thought had her swallowing thickly, the beauty's nonsensical cries to be bred still vivid in her mind even now. But Yoora let those thoughts slide aside in place of the marinated meat that was still left welcoming the distraction from her less than innocent thoughts after the playful comment. Quickly grabbing her own bottle, Yoora took a brisk swig patting her chest to ease the strain of nearly choking on the bite. "You think that having me watch you perform yoga in a pseudo romantic setting will help me NOT get distracted by you? Clearly you don't realize how enthralled I am by you little bird. That's just going to make it all the harder to keep my eyes off you. I would use the darkness as an excuse to focus on you but, wolf.."

As the smaller leaned into the kiss, fitting so naturally in her arms, the wolf gently pulled Dove onto her lap wanting to feel her petite body pressed up against her relishing the slight bit of privacy they'd managed in the workplace realizing just how much she'd missed the younger. But the words whiskers against parted lips were a far cry from anything Yoora could have anticipated in that moment but to say she was disappointed by the request would be blasphemous. "Dove..." Delicately brushing her fingers against those plush lips and the soft, found cheeks she absolutely adored, warm golds peered into staggering jade as the elder fought bergen teers and a broad smile. "Absolutely nothing would make me happier." With a tearful laugh she stood bringing the tiny fae with her as she twirled cradling the beauty close before settling down remembering they'd both just eaten and instead peppered kisses upon those sweet, honeysuckle lips with a sated sigh. "I love everything about you, Dove. I promise I'll make you so happy."

@yoora p。ʸʸᵒᵒʳʳᵃ "Mmmhmm! I love ramen a lot, so it makes it even easier. I have to wear stretchy pants and tend to look a big pregnant whenever I eat THAT much so I often tend to regret it but sometimes you just need to get ed up on noodles, you know?" Dove laughed hard enough that it made her voice squeak a few times, one hand covering her face half heartedly. Settling, though, she took another drink of water before splitting the last couple bites of food between them. She was able to set the bento aside to give Yoora all of her attention. "With the relaxation class tonight, the lights will be dimmed so maybe that will help you focus a bit?" She suggested, but didn't seem too heartbroken over the idea of being a distraction to Yoora.

When Yoora directed her into a kiss, Dove went along easily, wrapping her arms around Yoora's shoulders as she lifted herself up onto her knees next to the wolf. She wasn't in any kind of rush, and didn't seem afraid of someone walking in and seeing them like this. "Yoora, be my girlfriend? For real, like official and everything? I wanna have our names listed as a couple on the app." Dove asked finally, a question they both had been revolving around, neither seeming to find the perfect time to ask. But this was as perfect a time as she might ever get.

@dove c。ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡᵇᵃᵇʸ Suppressing her own laughter Yoora couldn’t stop herself from admiring how cheerful the youthful beauty looked, cheeks plump like a chipmunk’s only accentuating the fae’s natural charms. A smile blossomed on the elder’s lips at the delicate brush against her cheek that was so fairly innocent that she was tempted to just bring Dove a boxed lunch on a permanently daily basis. “You can eat that much ramen in one sitting?!” Truly she was amazed by this confession, in complete awe that someone as petite as the fae could eat so heartily without question and be proud of it. Other’s might have found it bizarre or unappealing but the wolf was staring in true wonder picturing the girl putting away bowl after bowl of ramen without breaking a sweat or needing a pause. “That may be true but I don’t doubt it can be filled with the right meal. Mmm restaurants tend to rely more on consistency and productivity, my food is never quite the same no matter how many times I make it, I just go with what feels right in that moment.”

“I can’t make any guarantees about how well I’ll pay attention but I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to take my eyes off you throughout the entire thing. I hear yoga helps a lot of people feel relaxed and centered on top of the flexibility benefits. And it’s an important part of your life so I, I’m willing to give it a shot. I’m willing to try nearly everything at least once, especially when yo—“ Hazel orbs widened in complete shock to feel the soft warmth of Dove’s lithe tongue grazing along the plush of her lips too caught up in the stimulation of the touch to even question what it was for. “I…” In a rare moment of being lost for words Yoora fumbled for the right thing to say but nothing came. Instead she found herself raising the blonde’s chin just enough to capture her lips in a proper, intimate kiss melting into how comforting and right it felt every time her lips fell upon the fairy’s. This was where she belonged even if the elder found it intimidating to confess to the younger not wanting things to feel rushed or scare her away though there was no denying what she felt nor the way her wolf mewled in delight every time Dove was near.

@yoora p。ʸʸᵒᵒʳʳᵃ Dove was happy to stuff her face while listening to Yoora talk, her cheeks full as she chewed the yummy food happily. Wiggling a bit, a goofy little dance as she tried to not be too obnoxious with the sounds of appreciation she was groaning out, Dove leaned up to press a kiss to Yoora's cheek before feeding her another bite to eat. "I could easily eat one of those like... 12 pound bowls of ramen challenges you see on youtube. My mother used to joke that my stomach is a black hole." Dove explained, pausing to take a sip of water from her nearby water bottle. "Your food tastes so much better than the food I get at restaurants, ugh. I don't know how you do it."

"Mm! Yoga is about so much more than fitness for me. I hope you'll be able to see what I mean during the class. It's about wholeness, and knowing and being at peace with every inch of your body." Dove explained, just barely holding back from gushing about it more. With a mischievous glint in her green eyes, Dove leaned over and a bit of the marinade from Yoora's lip, where it had dripped.

@dove c。ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡᵇᵃᵇʸ The rumbling of the tiny girl's tummy had Yoora bursting out in laughter. Dove was simply far too endearing for her own good though she often hid it behind her overwhelming confidence. "Thankfully I can say I'm fairly certain it will taste just as good too. I didn't get to cook you a proper full course meal last time so I figured this would be a nice way of getting to feed you a few different courses at once. Thank goodness I made so much though, I want to make sure you have plenty to eat, especially after your fall. It wasn't until Dove began to eat, that brilliant smile of hears that always left Yoora feeling weak (with butterflies fluttering endlessly in her stomach) beaming upon her lips, that the wolf began to nibble on a grasp full of japchae smiling at the flavor of the glass noodles. It reminded her of when she was a child, barely big enough to begin learning how to properly hold a pair of chopsticks, while her mother filled the table with overflowing bundles of food leaving the entire house smelling of fragrant garlics and gochujang. "Of course I do. I want to make sure they are treating you well here and every time you talk about fitness your face practically lights up. Why wouldn't I want to be a part of that even for a day? I can't promise I'll do more than observe but I'll try my best. I even bought some extra clothes to change in to." Parting her lips to accept the savory beef offered, Yoora's doe orbs crinkled at how domestic this moment felt hoping there would be many more similar experiences to come.

@yoora p。ʸʸᵒᵒʳʳᵃ Once their attention turned towards the food, Dove scooted closer to Yoora's side, watching as she opened the bento to show her all of the different banchan she had prepared, each side dish looking delicious. Dove's stomach growled loudly at the smell, a hand coming to rest over her navel as if that could silence it. "This looks- and smells- amazing! Wow. Yoora, wow. You amaze me." She said with an adoring smile directed at the wolfs face. She could stare at her all day if she was given the chance. She was admittedly a bit distracted by the food, finding the chopsticks that were paired with the bento, arranging them in her fingers quickly before picking up one of the omelette slices with a bit of kimchi too, popping it into . She groaned with a happy wiggle at the amazing flavor. "You really wanna sit in on my class?? I'd love that! The one I have coming up next is a really relaxing one as well. It's a low-intensity class meant for relaxing." Dove explained, holding up a bite of food to Yoora after eating a few vegetables too.

@dove c。ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡᵇᵃᵇʸ The reddened orbs began to fade to their natural gold once Dove gave the reassurance the wolf had undeniably been needing, hands folding back to her side as she opened each stack filled to the brim with some of her favorite simple Korean dishes such as gimbap, bulgolgi, rolled omelette slices, and pan fried tofu while the bottom layer was sectioned off separately with various vegetables, kimchi, and rice. “Sorry it’s not completely fresh, I prepared everything this morning but…” At the sudden kiss Yoora’s face went flush. Truth be told kissing Dove had begun to feel like an addiction she never wanted to quit, the softness of her plush lips always leaving her wanting more but the question – and the remembrance of where they were - stopped her from pursuing that desire. “I did, I told them I had an emergency so they let me off for the afternoon. I will most likely end up pulling an all nighter to make up for it but it’s worth it. So yes, I’d be more than happy to eat together. And maybe once you’re feeling better I can sit in on one of your classes. But eat first, you need to build your energy back up or I’m going to be prowling around you all day.”

@yoora p。ʸʸᵒᵒʳʳᵃ Yoora had been so worried, it made Doves throat tighten as she blinked quickly for a few moments to keep from letting her emotions slip out like that. It was deeply touching for her, and paired with the careful way Yoora kissed her all over Dove felt sick with affection and fondness for the wolf. "I'll do better, Yoora, I promise. You aren't going to lose me, sweetheart. Not now, not ever." calmed now, the both of them, she could breathe a little easier.

When Yoora suddenly pulled out the bento she had made for her, Doves eyes widened. "You were going to surprise me? Yoora, thank you." She gushed softly, tugging her closer for a kiss. "Do you have time to sit and eat with me? You said you left the office?"

@dove c。ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡᵇᵃᵇʸ It was hard to keep the wolf from going into a full blown panic. This had been one of her biggest fears since learning about the fae's delicate nature on that first date. True enough she was certain that Dove could take care of herself if need be, had been dealing with this long before Yoora arrived into the picture but she was here now ; the past was in the past and Yoora had every intention of giving the fairy the pepper care and attention she deserved. But seeing those doe eyes stare back into her own delirious orbs, the wolf eased back some of the tension that had been eating away at her and instead relished the delicate touch that brought her back to her senses. "Please.... Please don't ever scare me like that again. I really thought that you... That you..." Shaking away the though Yoora instead brought the woman closer to pepper kisses against her arms, wrists, and the darkening bruise from her stumble. "Coming here probably just made you feel even more guilty huh? I was worried, that's all. I can't just sit back knowing that you're not okay, that you need help. You need to take better care of yourself little bird... I can't lose you too..." The words slightly wavered from the strain of holding back tears but one whiff of the blonde's scent had her wolf calm and the elder along with it. Reaching over to grab the bags she'd brought with her, Yoora cleared setting down a large bento box beside the face with a shy grin. "I'd intended to surprise you at work today but it looks like I'm the one that got it instead."

@yoora p。ʸʸᵒᵒʳʳᵃ () LOL that's what I was doing too. I'm home now though. I hope you have a good day at work!

Sitting up a bit straighter, Dove stretched a little, rubbing her neck as Yoora walked over to her. The meditation room was kept dim to make sure the atmosphere was good for rest. It wasn't until Yoora was right in front of her that she noticed the womans eyes were crimson, brows knit in worry. Dove's stomach sank, gurgling a bit as it did in fact, when Yoora cupped her face, and chastised her. Frowning a bit, Dove's eyes were wide and apologetic as she lifted her hands to gently rest, wrapped around Yoora's wrists. "I'm sorry, love. I didn't mean to worry you. I fell asleep mid text, I think. I was running so late this morning I didn't get to eat before I left, and I forgot to put snacks in my duffle bag... " She started to explain, only to realize how flimsy all of her excuses were. Sniffing a bit, she scooted a little closer. No one had ever cared so much about her that they'd stop everything to check on her. Dove wrapped her arms around Yoora, hugging her tightly. "I'm sorry, Yoora. I was irresponsible. I should have taken care of myself. Thank you for coming."

@dove c。ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡᵇᵃᵇʸ [] I'm at work too so no apologies needed. I'm pretty much walking around them coming back, worrying a sentence then walking out again lol

The sound of that beautifully familiar huskiness caught Yoora's ears, an instant tingle shooting down her body at her omega's call. "I'm here!" Heels clacked against the stained wood feeling even more confused at how calm the woman sounded from a distance but it was when Yoora saw the state that the blonde was in that fool panic began to sink in. A bruise, one that was most definitely not a mark from the alpha herself, was vibrant against that pale porcelain complexion. The sight triggered the warm hazels to flash a violent crimson growling under her breath as she stormed over tossing aside her bag and the lunch shed brought with her to cup the smaller's lovely heart shaped face in her palms inspecting her more closely. "Dove! What the hell happened?! You disappeared in the chat and I... You... Did you eat properly?" As the panic began to set and ease into true concern, the alpha let out a shaky breath wondering how hard the beauty must have fallen to get such a harsh bruise before cradling the woman close. "I brought you some lunch just in case but... Sorry... You just really scared me..."

@yoora p。ʸʸᵒᵒʳʳᵃ (sorry about the wait, I'm at work lol.)

Dove had protested the enforced 'rest' that her coworkers had insisted on at first, but once she was sprawled out on a few cushions on the floor in the dim meditation room, she realized just how tired she was. And of course she'd been running so late that morning that she had forgotten to refill her duffel bag with snacks. Fading in and out of sleep as she'd texted her friends and Yoora, Dove hadn't realized just how much she'd worried the alpha wolf. Groggy, she opened her eyes to the sound of her voice, sitting up with a dull throbbing in her head where she'd hit the hardwood floor. When she looked in the mirror later, she'd see the bruise darkening on her temple. "Yoora? Is that you?" She asked softly, yawning against the back of her hand.

@dove c。ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡᵇᵃᵇʸ After the disconcerting and vague messages she'd received from Dove in the chat room the wolf felt uneasy, her every instinct carrying her straight out of the office and into the something cerulean porshe forcing herself into the vehicle though she was half tempted to jog all the way to the center. By the time she finally arrived, frantically carding her fingers to the rich chocolate locks to keep them from looking disheveled in her hurry, Yoora politely greeted the staff at the center, giving a short explanation for why she was there. Her sole thoughts were stuck on Dove and one murmured whisper of her name had the receptionist smiling before pointing the way to the meditation room. "Dove? Are you in here?"
