@hyunjin Sunghoon watched how Hyunjin responded to his words. He wasn't sure it the wolf understood him but at the same time something felt different. It took him a moment to understand what Hyunjin actually wanted to do or so he thought. "Woah I didn't expect this now... I thought you wouldn't let me at least for the first time" Sunghoon laughed softly seeing how Hyunjin lard on his side and soon Sunghoon reached his hands slowly and gently rubbing the soft fur on Hyunjin's side. "Is this what you like?"

@β park sunghoon Hyunjin huffed a little, just a slight snort through his nose as his eyes narrowed. He looked at the stick, not really sure he was understanding how this was going to be fun. He wasn't really the fetch type, now belly rubs he was totally down for, but fetch. He was missing some of the instincts of born werewolves he was fairly sure, because he had seen a few of them acting far more like actual animals than Hyunjin probably ever could. Sighing dramatically he flopped onto his side instead, looking at Sunghoon with pleading eyes.

@hyunjin "Seems like our little Hyunjin doesn't know how to play." Sunghoon wondered and sat up looking around curiously to see what they could use to play with. He looked around more and found a small stick that wasn't too big or too heavy and light enough to throw and find. "Okay... Do you see this stick? I will throw it towards that tree and you can go and try to find it then I will throw it again and we can run around playing"

@β park sunghoon Shaking his head in answer to the question he had never played with anyone like this before. He wasn't even used to being in his wolf form, let alone being with someone else while he was like this. At least anyone who wasn't just trying to mount him, so he was completely unsure how they were supposed to play. Looking around he whined softly, he didn't have a ball and he didn't know what to do so he turned back to look at Sunghoon expectantly.

@hyunjin "woah... Look at you and those big eyes. How can your ears be so straight up like that? More like a fox than a wolf though" Sunghoon beamed happily gently feeling the tip of Hyunjin's ears before moving his hand down to his back. "You look completely different from Appa... Does this mean that you don't get the same features from the one that changes you?" he wondered curiously even though he knew Hyunjin wouldn't be able to give him an answer. "Have you ever played with anyone before? Personalty I like playing with the ball. I always did that with Innie when we were little. I would throw the ball and he got it for me and if appa threw the ball I would race him to catch it first" Sunghoon laughed happily at the memories before looking at Hyunjin "let's play"

@β park sunghoon Hyunjin obediently sat down and posed for the camera with a cute head tilt, waiting for Sunghoon to be finished taking the picture before he stepped up to sit down next to him and lean against him, snuggling close. He wasn't always that big on affection, more because he wasn't used to it than anything else. He really loved attention, but he so rarely got it that he could get easily overwhelmed. He enjoyed all kinds of touch though, whether it was soft and affectionate, painful, or ual. He had to admit to himself though that it was nice once in a while to have gentle hands on him.

@hyunjin Sunghoon smiled happily to the point his eyes almost disappeared into thin crescents. "Don't be scared I will just feel you. You have soft fur it tickles my hand" a purely innocent chuckle escaped his his lips as he decided to sit on the ground letting go of the clothes and the bag on the ground next to him and reached for the camera. "let me take a photo first" he decided not to use the flash of the camera and depend on the fade light from the setting sun. "You look really beautiful maybe as well you can let me hug you?" Sunghoon asked even though he wasn't sure about what kind of response he could get he still opened his arms and waited for Hyunjin

@β park sunghoon Hyunjin closed both eyes tightly when he saw the hand coming for him, not quite flinching but he didn't relax until a few seconds after he felt the hand on his head. Slowly he opened his eyes, first one then the other before he was looking up at Sunghoon with a shy wag of his tail. He wasn't really used to this form, he didn't shift often and he didn't really know how to play in this form either. He always tended to feel awkward like this because he couldn't really do much. The only saving grace he had was his dance skill, it at least kept him from losing balance constantly when he was trying to get used to having four paws.

@hyunjin "this will be good for both of us then... You will still let me know if you want to tell me something" Sunghoon was curious too about how it would be like if someone was turned into a wolf, would it still be the same as other wolves like his father. Sunghoon took the clothes not wanting to forget where they left them and held them in his hands while watching as Hyunjin shifted. Sunghoon's eyes sparkled with excitement seeing the wolf form of Hyunjin "Woah... So different and cute" He beamed happily and reached to feel the top of the wolf's head.

@β park sunghoon "I can understand words just fine in that form. I can't talk or anything, but my mind doesn't change. Maybe it's because I wasn't born this way?" Hyunjin asked, tipping his head curiously. He'd never really been around other wolves to know if that was normal behavior or not. Stepping back away from Sunghoon he only hesitated another few seconds before he pulled his clothes off, setting them in a pile beside himself and he shifted into his wolf form.

@hyunjin "you will be fine.. It is just the two of us" Sunghoon smiled happily at the thought of playing other with a wolf around his age rather that what he used to do with Wonho. "You won't be able to fully understand me or respond to me when you shift so try not to be too excited. I will panic if you do" he took the camera and the bag hanging them on his shoulder while looking at Hyunjin curiously

@β park sunghoon "I-- I haven't shifted in front of someone in a long time..." He mumbled, his cheeks turning red with embarrassment and he hesitated. Looking down at his camera and transferring it from hand to hand as he considered if he was willing to show that side of himself to you. "I guess I should could show you. I don't know about playing, I've never played before. I don't think I'd know how." Sighing softly he carefully pulled the camera strap over his head and handed it over to you, a long with his bag. "Keep this safe for me?"

@hyunjin "even a small sized omega wolf can have some tricks to win or at least get away from a fight" Sunghoon said with a light smile on his face. He didn't like the sad side of the story and he didn't like to be gloomy about his situation or Hyunjin's situation. "Hey... You could show me your wolf, I bet you would look a little like Appa. I would play around with you if you shift"

@β park sunghoon "You'd be surprised I think, because I was turned and not born as I am I'm a very small wolf. From what I can tell I'm barely bigger than a natural wolf, and from what I understand most wolves are significantly bigger than that. If I shifted you would actually stand more of a chance in a fight than I would." He admitted with a slight wince and a small, but embarrassed smile. He really didn't like admitting that part of himself, but it was something he had accepted and come to terms with a while ago, and he knew that nothing could change it. It was who he was, just as much as being an omega was.

@hyunjin "anyone could be thinking the same way if they simply know the facts that you are a wolf and I'm not. Whether turned or born a wolf you probably how more strength than me but since I'm the weaker one even if a beta I still can't protect you of someone attacks" Sunghoon sighed but then he looked down at his hand and looked up at Hyunjin curiously "I will be here as long as you don't push me away"

@β park sunghoon “Have you considered trying for the Olympics because that was some impressive mental gymnastics. You jumped so far for that conclusion.” Shaking his head he reaches out to rest his hand in the beta’s wrist, giving it a light squeeze. “I don’t think you’re weak at all Sunghoon, that wasn’t what I was saying. I don’t think you being here puts me in any more danger either. I’m glad you’re here, I want you to be here.”

@hyunjin Sunghoon stopped in his tracks staring at Hyunjin's figure before letting out a long breath "You are saying that I'm putting you in danger just because my scent is so weak that makes your own scent too strong and noticeable... You are in more danger because I can't fight against stronger ones especially an alpha." His expression changed into an angry one mixed with the sadness in his eyes. "Forget about anything else... I will just head back"

@β park sunghoon "Your scent is evident, but mine is stronger, especially if I want it to be." Hyunjin pointed out with an amused smile, outright laughing when he was accused of acting too much like Wonho. He didn't really think personality traits worked that way, but it was an interesting thought. "It's just that I know how to handle it if I'm attacked. It won't really bother me. But you? Can you really say if some crazy alpha crashed through the trees right now and attacked you, that you would be okay later?"

@hyunjin "don't be stupid... My scent is still evident even if I'm not a wolf I won't let anything happen to you." Sunghoon stated firmly as they walked. "Besides everyone thinks that I'm a wolf because I'm the son to a wolf. At some point I thought I was just late on turning" Sunghoon glanced at Hyunjin blankly staring at him "Maybe because you are linked to Seok, you got some of his attitude, the way he wants to do things to protect me and my brother when if he gets hurt"

@β park sunghoon "I'm sure you aren't weak, but you're lucky that your scent isn't as strong. If we come across someone who wants to cause trouble, they'll look at me first. And if they don't... then I'll just make them look at me so you can get away." Hyunjin nodded, smiling softly and lightly bumping his shoulder against yours. "Maybe I can't protect you like an alpha can, but I can protect you in my own way."

@hyunjin "I see... No wonder you keep coming around the same places" Sunghoon chuckles softly as they walked together. He was curious about the paw print at first but looking closely at it he was less worried "You got a point... But if some small animals start running in One Direction it means the danger is coming after them right?" while Hyunjin was playfully teasing Sunghoon only blushed and sighed heavily. "I'm not that weak."

@β park sunghoon "Sometimes I do, but if I'm coming back then the lighting could be different and the perspective different, so it completely changes the entire composition of the photo." Hyunjin explained as he stood back up, shaking his head to the question that was asked as he carefully stepped over the paw print so he wouldn't ruin it. "No, it wasn't here when I can through earlier, but it's probably just a raccoon or something. It's too small to be anything dangerous." He assured the beta, shooting him a small but slightly teasing smile over his shoulder. "Don't worry Sunghoonie, I'll protect you from the big bad wolf if he shows up."

@hyunjin "okay then, I guess I will follow you" Sunghoon didn't mind going now even though it still worried him but Hyunjin was the one who knew where the photo was taken and so he need him to lead the way. "You take photos of almost everything. Have you ever ended taking the same exact photo as you walked past the same places?" Sunghoon asked curiously as they walked but then the paw print caught his attention and made him more curious "Was this here before?"

@β park sunghoon "I suppose I'll take you back to where I took this picture you were interested in." He decided after a moment's thought on what he wanted to do. He had no where he was really headed, so he saw no reason not to head back towards the familiar trail to find whatever red thing that had caught Sunghoon's attention. "It's not too far, I walk this trail a lot so I recognize where the photo is." He kept his camera at the ready as he lead the way through the trees, pausing every so often to take a picture of a bird, or an insect, or even just a particular plant or tree that caught his interest. Once he even crouched down to snap a picture of a paw print that had been embedded in a spot of mud.

@hyunjin Sunghoon listened carefully not bothered by the life details that Hyunjin shared with him. It was nice talking about other things in life rather than just food or work. "It is alright, you had something to let out and I have the ears to hear you so it is good. Now... Which way are you going?! I will keep you company for now"

@β park sunghoon "I suppose that depends on how both parties react. My mom never really tries to understand me. She's so busy working all the time anyway, and once I was old enough she started going out with friends when she wasn't working. I don't see her that often anymore..." Hyunjin sighed softly, adjusting the settings on his camera to accommodate the changing lighting as the day was fading into evening around them. "Sorry, you didn't ask. You don't need to hear my whole life story." Shaking his head at himself he hid the slight flush on his cheeks behind his camera as he snapped a picture to make sure he had the setting correct.

@hyunjin "not all the time... Sometimes they could lead to discovering new things about other people.. Sometimes they are a better chance to know where you actually stand among others and sometimes they only lead to troubles that lead to more danger than anything else" Letting out a long heavy breath Sunghoon followed Hyunjin outside after he put back the flowers in their original place. The colors outside changed indicating the change of time as well. "I don't know... I hope I get the chance to see them when they bloom only then it will be the true ray of hope for me "

@β park sunghoon "Do they? I always thought they drove people apart." Hyunjin mused as he lifted his camera to take a picture of the shop again before he stepped outside and looked around. He really did like it out here, it was peaceful in a way that soothed that animalistic part of him that had been awaked when he was just a child. Maybe he hadn't been born as a werewolf, but it was such a deep part of him that sometimes he forgot that he wasn't like the others he'd met. He wondered how different his life would have been if he had been born into a pack, instead of being just an outcast. Wolves were social creatures, and Hyunjin had spent his life alone. "Maybe they're just late bloomers. They haven't given up yet, so don't give up on them."

@hyunjin "that's nothing out of norm..." Sunghoon laughed in a sarcastic way "If everyone could understand then life would be boring... Misunderstandings makes us want to do something about them" he suggested knowing that it wasn't always fun but it was one of the facts that couldn't be changed "These should have bloomed weeks ago but they are very slow.. Actually I came here today thinking that they have already died but seeing the green blooms was a nice ray of hope"

@β park sunghoon "Most people don't understand me." He explained, decided to leave it at that as he looked around the flower shop again. It was nice but he was itching to go back outside and keep taking more pictures of the pack's territory. He wasn't really worried about who might find him, he knew he would be alright in the end. "The violets?" Looking down at the plant he lifted one shoulder in a shrug as he finally gave into the pull and headed back towards the door to step outside. "I don't know, I've never had much of a green thumb if I'm honest. Do they usually bloom this time of year?"
