“Where are you now?”

“Or are you just my imagination?”

fleeting to the most fleeting At first, I was considering who to play as Mr. Wolf.

But if Nong Kyom were a stupid wolf, he would definitely be very cute. So let's take it like this---

“We ask all tourists not to leave the area or walk off the path that the officials have made.”

“Try not to walk anywhere alone. If you encounter any problems, contact the authorities immediately. We will be here.”

“Oh, let's help keep it clean. Pick up your trash too. Did you know that if you throw garbage in the park you have to pay a fine?”

“I hope everyone enjoys relaxing and admiring nature.”

At the end of the voice of the officials in charge of the park, tourists began to disperse to go see nature. Some started camping, others walked around with cameras to take pictures.

Im Jaebum looked around before smiling in satisfaction.

“Auntie, are there any elephants here?” asked a boy in elementary school who ran up to him along with three other friends.

"yes"

“So, will we be able to see this?” This time it was a little girl who spoke up.

“Ah, Mr. Chang is quite shy, so he is afraid of many people. But I have a picture that I took. Do you want to see it?”

“I want it!” The children immediately scrambled to speak.

“And are there tigers here?”

Im Jaebum raised his eyebrows at the children before smiling and patting the child's head.

"Yes, but Mr. Tiger doesn't attack people because he has uncles looking after him."

"Does that mean you're friends with a tiger?"

“Um, I never asked Mr. Tiger if we were friends or not,” he laughed.

“I saw Father say that there are demons in the forest, right?”

“There isn't any... Okay, I think we'd better go look at the photo album of Khun Chang and Khun Suea, Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

That's right, Im Jaebum is one of the officials who take care of this small park and also holds the position of owner of the area because this area was originally owned by his grandfather. When he passed away, he passed it on to Jaebum, who is currently sharing care with another friend.

Ah, can we call it a partnership? Because that person came to ask to buy some land in this area to run his own private farm business or something.

Jaebum likes spending time surrounded by nature. It makes him feel at ease and free. He likens the forest to his second home.

The sun is beginning to set. It is a sign of entering the evening. The bright sky begins to darken. The small lights in the park begin to turn on according to the time set by the officials. Until 5 p.m., many tourists begin to gather in the square. A long stick to eat food prepared by the staff.

After having dinner Officials will be spread out throughout the district and will not allow anyone to go anywhere except in the areas with lights. For safety reasons, the square was the best option for everyone to gather together.

Some people borrowed the staff's acoustic guitars and came out to play songs. The later the night got, the more lively the atmosphere became. Of course, an essential thing for camping is a campfire. They sat together around a small fire and sang. Skewering marshmallows onto sticks and grilling them is such an impressive atmosphere.

Until almost 10 p.m., the officials came to drive everyone back to their accommodations to sleep. Jaebeom carried a bucket of water before pouring it onto the pile of firewood that was nearly burnt out, ensuring that the fire wouldn't start again to prevent a forest fire.

“Mr. Jaebum, we'll go first!” one of the caretakers shouted as he walked the tourists back to their accommodations.

“I'll follow!”

Jaebeom shines his flashlight around to check that everyone has gone back to their dorms again.

After making sure that no one was there So he prepared to go back and rest for a while, but before he could turn around, out of the corner of his eye he saw the shadow of a living creature flashing by.

Im Jaebum was sure it was a person.

"Hey! You.” The flashlight in his hand turned on again and shone into the dense forest where he had just seen the shadow of a person.

There was no response, only the rustling of leaves in the forest.

“It's getting dark, please go back to your dorm.” Jaebum ran after that person, but it seemed like the more he ran, the other person kept running away.

“There you are!”

Seriously!

Jaebum averted his eyes and turned the other way. Hearing the sound of a trap nearby, he immediately ran over to take a look. But it seemed like he was too late because when he got there he was already empty.

When I looked at the light and looked carefully, there were still small spots of bright blood stains.

“Dammit,” Jaebum swore under his breath. It was possible that there was a wild animal in the area just now but it had escaped, meaning that person was in danger.

Why did he suddenly have to meet a tourist who asked him to cause trouble for himself by being mauled to death by a wild animal? Don't you like it?

dyo

Jaebum hurriedly shone the flashlight around again, anxious as if God had given him permission. When he shined it, he saw the other person's back in the distance. Without waiting, Jaebum immediately ran after him.

“You! I'm an official here."

The other party turned to look at him in shock before starting to run away again.

"Where have you gone again? Why are you running away?"

“Wha!?” Without even having a good look at the direction, Jaebum began to walk further and further out of the safe zone. He regained consciousness, his body slipping on the ground due to the different slope of the ground, his body scraping against rocks and branches all over.

plunging

A groan came out as the flashlight in his hand rolled out of his hand.

Crazy, it looks like my ankle is sprained too.

Jaebum tried to pick himself up even though he was struggling to move his body but his head felt like he hit a rock or the ground too hard, causing him to feel dizzy as soon as he got up. It's like the world tilts back and forth.

Seconds before he lost consciousness, Jaebum tried to look for someone to help him with a glimmer of hope, but what he saw was not a person.

In the darkness of the forest, he could see those eyes most clearly. The moon's light falling on the pair of beautiful eyes with different colors made them look even more beautiful and enchanting.

He swears he's never seen a wolf this beautiful before...

“Oh..” I don't know how long I had been asleep. Jaebum stood up and kneaded his neck.

My body hurts like crazy.

He had just noticed that he was lying in a hut-like house made of bamboo. Where he was now sitting was a wide, smooth, light-colored stone slab on which he could stretch his arms and legs, and it was well padded with leaves. The club looks like it's a bed.

Of course, this was not a place in the park or his residence, but it was impossible to have a hut in the middle of the forest like this.

Jaebum stood up, hoping to go outside, but didn't have time to put his feet on the ground. His whole body fell face down on the ground almost immediately. It was a good thing he had planted his hands on the ground in time or they would have kissed the ground by now.

“Oh, you bastard!” He forgot that he had injured his leg.

Crack

The sound of the door opening made his eyes immediately turn towards the source of the sound.

"Ah... have you recovered?"

Jaebum raised his head to look at the person who had just entered until his eyes fell on a pair of beautiful almond brown eyes.

The bright-colored hair and white skin matched perfectly, and the mole under his right eye made those big, puppy-like eyes even more charming, to the point where he was praising the other person in his heart.

He quickly shook his head to get rid of his delusional thoughts and regained his composure.

“Oh, uh, please support me. ..Can I do that?”

The tall, slender figure in front of him placed the medicinal plants in his hand before helping Jaebum sit on the bed again.

smell good

Jaebum didn't intend to smell it, but the other person's scent suddenly hit his nose.

"Ah..I don't think you should get up and go anywhere by yourself."

“Your leg is.. hurting, so you should pat-”

“I'm sorry, but can you tell me where this is?” Jaebum interjected immediately after regaining his composure.

“Ah…” The person in front of him looked a little stunned.

“Are you the person who ran away from me last night?”

Jaebum began to piece everything together again as he looked at the other party, expecting an answer. But before he could hear a good answer, the sound of the door opening rang again, along with a new visitor.

Jaebum looked at the new arrivals with suspicion again.

“Have you returned yet?” It was the white man next to him who greeted the other party.

The new visitor looked a little smaller than the white man, but looked more muscular and strong from his sun-tanned skin. What do they call those big, blue-gray eyes? Is it contact eyes that teenagers like to wear? How about that black hair with red highlights sprinkled throughout?

"Well, the food is in front of the house."

The white man got up and left, leaving only him and another stranger in his place.

What is this?

“Probably going to die.”

Jaebum frowned as soon as the other person said what this person was saying.

“Bam! He can't eat like this!!” A shout from the front of the house prevented him from having time to argue with him.

"Didn't you give it to him to eat?"

The person called Bam turned and shouted an answer to the people outside the house before walking out in a dejected manner.

Jaebum is confused now. Really confused, what is this? Where is this? Who are those two people and why do they have to be cursed to die?

"I'm sorry, my friend isn't very good at speaking." The white man walked back again and sat down next to him.

"nevermind"

“Ah, are you thirsty?”

“You still haven't answered me where I am right now.” Jaebum chose to ignore the other person's question before turning serious again.

“Ah.. This is my home with my friends.”

He nodded in understanding before everything fell silent again.

“I think I'd better go get you some water to drink first.” The white man gave him a small smile before getting out.

Not long after, another person returned with a bamboo stick in hand and handed it to him. Jaebum took it and drank it without hesitation. In fact, his throat was dry from the moment he woke up.

“Thank you sir..?”

The other party tilted its head and looked at him in confusion before letting out a yelp.

“Yugyeom,” a sweet voice said.

"I'm Jaebum."

“Ah, it's nice to meet you, Mr. Jaebob-“ Yugyeom didn't have time to finish speaking when the door slammed open again and another figure with a hand full of fruit walked in between him and Yugyeom. He poured the fruit onto the bed without fail and turned and bared his teeth at it again.

Are you a dog?

“Bam, I don't want it,” Yugyeom gently rebuked his friend before lifting his head to continue talking to him.

“Jaebeom-san, can you eat this?”

He nodded in response.

“Bam-ah, let's talk outside.” The person called Bam looked bored before agreeing to follow Yugyeom outside. Jaebum was finally alone.

After the two of them left, Jaebum picked up the apple and smelled it before using the cleanest part of his shirt to wipe it (of course because he had rolled around in mud and dirt last night). One more time before biting into the mouth.

Jaebum just noticed again that he was probably in a fairly deep part of the house because there were no windows, but it wasn't so stuffy that he couldn't breathe because there were still gaps along the bamboo that weren't lined up properly, allowing sunlight to shine. Reached and ventilated

Hungry, he began to handle other fruits. It wasn't until the two of them returned that he finally spoke about his desires.

"No way, it can't be done," BamBam said in a serious tone.

“Why not?” Jaebum frowned in displeasure since this person had already cursed him to death.

“Bam..”

“Let go or it will call others to come and hunt us.”

What are they talking about?

Hunting animals?

“I'm a park ranger, I'm not a hunter,” he quickly corrected himself, which Bam turned around and glared at Jaebum. before kissing him in the mouth, indicating not to interrupt.

"Can we try talking to him first?"

“Why are you talking to humans? They're going to die if they're too cunning.”

“Come on... na ..”

Bam crossed his arms over his chest and let out a resigned sigh.

“But if he talks about us to others, I will cut his head off immediately, is that okay?”

This time, Jaebum frowned even harder. Who were these two people? Illegal forest hunters? Or the lumber traders? Hunting animals to sell?

What?

Or is the murderer escaping?

“Don't forget to come eat with us or we'll fight,” Bam concluded before walking out, leaving Yugyeom with the two of them.

After talking, Yugyeom turned around.

“It's... ah, we'll take you home.”

“But can I ask for one thing?”

Jaebum pretended to listen intently, if it wasn't something serious with his grandfather's forest. He would probably accept it.

"Can you not talk about us to anyone? Act like you've never met us before."

Jaebum doesn't understand why. It was actually strange since there were people in the middle of the forest like this, but he didn't dare say anything more.

Being killed and covering his mouth was bad, so he could only nod in response.

“Thank you,” Yugyeom gave a small smile before the shouts of people outside called for Yugyeom to walk away.

“So.. Mr. Jaebum, please continue resting. I'll take you back tomorrow.”

He nodded his head and looked at the other's back until it disappeared. If these people were truly good people, they would probably be able to return to camp tomorrow. Otherwise, he could just run away on his own.

Jaebum laid down on the bed again and thought continuously in his head.

Ah, when I'm full I feel so sleepy. The weather is nice to sleep in for a while..

His sharp eyes blinked quickly to adjust their focus before looking at the clock to see what time it was, but he sighed because he forgot that this was not his home.

Jaebum woke up feeling a little queasy and taking a shower or washing up would probably help.

This time, Jaebum put his weight on the left foot that wasn't hurt before standing up and limping, looking for his missing owner. He walked along the wall until he reached the front of the house.

His eyes narrowed again because the sunlight shining down on the surroundings of the house was only a dense forest. Everywhere you look, you see only tall trees everywhere. Only the area in front of the house is bare.

Jaebum continued to walk with a limp until he heard the sound of the bushes moving behind him, which caught his attention very well. As he was deciding to walk over to take a look, a sweet, familiar voice sounded out first.

“Jaebeom-san, are you awake?”

“Ah,” he answered Yugyeom before changing direction from exploring the bushes to the other person instead, and his limp manner probably made the other person feel sorry for him, so he walked in and helped him to sit on the log in front of the house.

"Then what are you doing out there? Your leg hasn't healed yet. It hurts."

"Oh, I have a little problem .. which is .. I want to wash myself."

“Ah.. Okay, there's a stream around here. I'll take you there."

"Anyway, let me go see if there's anything you can wear first so I can change into it."

“Thank you, Yugyeom.”

“Actually, you can just call me Yu.”

Ah, dammit, he's really at a loss for that kind of smile.

After Yugyeom went to find some clothes for him from nowhere, Jaebum was carried to a stream in the forest. The sound of running water made Jaebum want to jump into the water almost immediately, if it weren't for the fact that his leg was hurting.

He dipped his hand into the stream and waved it around. The coolness of the water made him feel a lot better.

"Put my clothes here. I'll be around here. When you're done, Jaebeom-san will call me."

Yugyeom finished speaking and allowed Jaebum to have some alone time to take a shower.

Seeing that the other person was gone, Jaebeom turned his attention to the cool water in the stream. He slowly took off his old clothes before slowly moving to sit in the water. Bathing in the stream was not a problem for Jaebeom. Just a little bit He even liked the cool water flowing through his body, making him feel comfortable and relaxing everything in his mind.

It didn't take him long to get out of the water, feeling a little uncomfortable because of his injured leg. Jaebum picked up the shirt the other person had prepared for him and looked at it. It was a short-sleeved shirt, a dull white color due to its age, and a pair of pants. black cloth

Thinking about it, it's strange that the two of them are both wearing long sleeves. Yugyeom always wears white shirts. As for Bambam, he wears a black knit shirt with a red pattern along the edge of the shirt.

Jaebum stopped criticizing other people's clothes in his mind before putting on his own clothes and carrying the old clothes in his hand.

“Miss Yu, I'm done,” Jaebeom said as long legs walked up from the edge of the stream but there was still no response.

He walked slowly, taking the opportunity to survey the area before he saw something on the other side of the stream that he had just walked up to a few minutes earlier.

His eyes widened in interest as he tried to walk over and get a closer look at the creature.

Jaebum remembered it by heart.

That white wolf

beautiful

If Jaebum had a camera on him right now, he would definitely not have missed the photo of the white wolf bending down to drink from the stream.

He looked at the sight with such delight that the white wolf drank the water until he was satisfied and jumped over and returned to the other side. The side where Jaebum is

His heart was pounding so hard that he was afraid he would hear his heartbeat, but Jaebum didn't move away because he was looking at him from far away behind the bushes. Besides, he really didn't want to take his eyes off this creature for even a second.

But then his eyes widened again. Everything he said was strange since he woke up today couldn't have been any more strange compared to what he saw just now.

“Has Jaebum finished taking a shower?”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

Yugyeom was startled by the other person's sudden cry for no reason, and he retreated from him until he fell over and sat on the ground again.

"you! What exactly are you!?”

“You're not human!!?” Jaebum pointed at the other person even though his hands were shaking.

yes

Im Jaebeom saw the wolf turn into the person standing in front of him now.

I swear I'm not blind!!

He felt like he was going to die again when another big black wolf suddenly rushed out from the nearby bushes and transformed into another familiar man before his eyes.

“Yu, what happened? Why is there such a loud noise?” Bam immediately turned to ask his friend, only Yugyeom's worried expression was the only answer.

"Aren't you humans? What exactly are you!?"

"Don't come in!"

“Jaebeom-san, please calm down.” Yugyeom slowly lowered himself down to sit on his knees to talk at eye level with the other person.

“We promise that we won't hurt you..”

“That's why Jaebeom-ssi comes with us first.” Yugyeom tried to coax, slowly reaching out his hand to Jaebeom. It seemed to work because Jaebeom had quietened down and only his eyes were showing. It only indicates confusion.

Jaebum was debating whether or not he should trust these two humans, but he couldn't think of anything more than that when his world suddenly went dark.

“Bam! If we say we can handle it ourselves!”

“Oh! I thought he was using a plan to attract the attention of the victims.”

"Mr. Jaebum is not a victim, Bam!"

“Not the victims, but all humans are disgusting.”

The sound of people arguing woke Jaebum up. He moaned softly as he massaged the area of ​​his neck that looked like it had been hit or hurt.

“If he really dies, what will you do!?”

For the third time, he woke up in the same place with two other people. It was like déjà vu. He slowly lifted himself up to sit up and held his head, which had not fully recovered from his dizziness.

"He's not dead yet."

When they saw that the sick person had recovered, the two stopped arguing before it was Yugyeom who tried to approach the sick person first. Of course, Jaebeom moved away, taking his body off the bed and backing closer to the wall almost immediately.

“Don't come in!”

“Huh.” Of course, it wasn't Yugyeom's voice, but it was BamBam's voice, who was standing behind him, rolling his eyes in boredom.

Do it like you can escape. He was afraid to die, you stupid human.

“Jaebeom, please calm down.” Yugyeom tried to use his soft stick to fight again.

“What exactly are you guys?” Jaebum looked confused while Yugyeom slowly moved towards the other side.

“A werewolf?”

“Ah, it wouldn't be accurate to call it that,” Yugyeom replied, reaching out to hold the other's hand without taking his eyes off the other person for even a moment.

Jaebum was still as if hypnotized.

Damn it, why did his heart suddenly beat so fast? !Don't use this tone with him.

“I told you to kill me from the beginning.” Thanks to BamBam's mocking tone, he regained his senses.

“You can't kill an innocent person, bam.” Yugyeom turned to answer his friend but didn't take his hand off his grip on the other person.

soft ..

Even though my hands are this soft, how soft are the other parts?

Crazy Im Jaebum, stop thinking about crazy things!

“You guys.. can transform into wolves, right?”

“Yes.” Yugyeom nodded lightly.

“Can you show me..”

Yugyeom tilted his head to look at him, not understanding what else was causing the loud noises coming from Bam's mouth. He just wanted to make sure that this wasn't a dream or that he was delusional.

“I'm just a human being, don't give me orders,” was Bam who said impatiently.

“Suddenly being asked to do something like this, I feel embarrassed. I don't know how.. Yugyeom gave me a wry smile.

There was silence instead of the sound of talking before it was Bam Bam who slammed his feet away.

Jaebum looked at Yugyeom as he followed his friend who was walking, and he suddenly thought of his grandfather's old diary that he used to look at.

“Mr. Yu.”

"yes"

“Can you tell me more about you guys?”

Yugyeom seemed hesitant to accept his request, so this time it was Jaebeom who grabbed the other's cold hand and held it until Yugyeom softened.

"Please, I will keep it a secret."

“Promise me... That Mr. Jaebum will not talk about this matter with anyone.”

After talking, Jaebeom realized that both Yugyeom and Bambam were not werewolves. The night of the full moon didn't cause them to be unable to control themselves or transform. They were just able to change their bodies to be both. The human and wolf form were completely free, and Yugyeom seemed to have known his grandfather when he was just a small puppy.

Yugyeom himself, knowing that Jaebeom was the grandson of a former benefactor, made Yugyeom trust him more and Jaebeom trusts him more as well.

They talked happily until the sun began to set and the birds began to fly back to their nests. Both he and Yugyeom came out in front of the house again.

Jaebum stretched, relaxing his muscles as he sucked in air.

“Ah, you should be able to come back at this time.” Yugyeom looked at the sun in the sky and looked around for his friend. Jaebum saw this and looked around.

In just a moment, a large black wolf figure burst out of the forest with a rabbit corpse in its mouth.

Jaebum's heart was pounding so shocked he almost swore.

He wasn't used to it, but he had to admit that this black wolf was just as beautiful as Yugyeom, only more fierce. while Yugyeom gives a soothing feeling.

Ah, what can I say? He can't explain it, but he really wants everyone to see what he sees.

Bam, he placed the rabbit on the ground before shaking himself a few times and turning back into human form again, ruffling his hair roughly.

“Bam, we said he can't eat like this.” Yugyeom started to cry after seeing the poor little rabbit's corpse on the ground.

“What, you just hunted small animals for me?” Bam replied, a little annoyed.

“Then we'll go ourselves.”

Jaebeom saw that he wasn't looking well so he interrupted the conversation.

“Ah, I can eat. You can just grill it."

“There won't be any fires,” Bam replied immediately.

“Why?” Jaebum accidentally furrowed his brows again. This really offended him. Why don't you just act cute like Yugyeom?

“It's at risk of being hunted, and the smell will lure other animals.” It was Yugyeom who responded.

Jaebum nodded in understanding, but if he had to eat only fruit all day, it would be rather uncomfortable for his stomach.

“Well, then you guys can just take me back to camp. Because my legs are starting to get better-”

Both Yugyeom and BamBam looked at each other again.

"Probably not..."

“Because if we go now everyone will be suspicious.”

“But you guys can transform into humans,” Jaebum argued.

“But they might detain us and ask about what happened.”

Jaebeom froze. He completely forgot about this because the authorities must have questioned them on how they met him. Where and what happens functionally? Which is definitely not good for Yugyeom and BamBam.

“Early tomorrow morning, I will take Mr. Jaebum to you, I promise.”

Jaebum pursed his lips into a straight line in thought before nodding in agreement.

"already? What's the deal?" Bam turned to talk to Yugyeom again.

“If he only eats fruit, will he be okay?”

"It's really a big deal. If you can't eat it, you don't have to eat it. That's all."

“Bam-ah”

“You say that like I'm going to ask for food from the stupid humans in the camp.”

“It's true, you're really smart!”

Jaebum looked at the two demons who were standing and talking and he gave up and sat down on a log.

“No Yu, I won't go in there.”

“But only you can do this..”

“No,” Bam answered loudly and clearly.

“Alright, I'll go myself.”

“Wow, have you lost your mind? Are you going to put them in cages and skin them?”

"Well, you're not going.."

“Oh, you can go yourself.” BamBam furrowed his brows without forgetting to turn and look wide-eyed at Jaebum, who was quietly sitting as a spectator before transforming into a dog again.

But this time was different because Bambab had not turned into a nearly 5 foot tall wolf, but instead was a domestic dog that looked superficially like an all-black retriever.

Jaebum looked at the picture with suspicion until Yugyeom noticed and replied to relieve Jaebum's doubts.

“BamBam's special ability is being able to change size or shape as you please.”

“I usually go and ask for food from Jaebum-san's camp.”

Jaebeom listened intently as he thought of a story that a younger female officer he worked with told him that there was a cute dog that often asked for food at the camp. He could only hope that the dog wasn't a bastard. Because this guy's personality isn't cute at all.

“And Khun Yu can do that?”

Yugyeom shook his head in response.

“The special abilities of each of us are different.”

"oh..."

“Shall we go get some wood so we can start a fire?”

“Where does your friend say that fires are prohibited?”

“Ah.. If you just light the fire, it's okay. There's not as much smoke as there is cooking.”

“We often light a fire and watch the moon outside,” Yugyeom laughed.

“Ah, okay.”

“And Mr. Jaebum's legs are getting better now, right?”

“Yes, it still hurts a little, but it's getting better,” Jaebum said, standing up and showing off to the other side, even though he was walking a little wobbly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jaebum had to get hurt because of me."

“It's okay, it's okay,” Jaebum denied, laughing, convincing the other party that he wasn't in much trouble.

"I think we'd better go get some firewood, Mr. Yu."

After gathering enough firewood, the couple then returned to the front yard before starting to light a fire. With Jaebum's expertise, the fire was not difficult to start. It was starting to get darker and the air was getting cooler. Now they're just waiting for Bam to come back.

5 minutes later, BamBam returned with a cloth bag in his mouth.

“Thank you,” Jaebeom nodded his head as soon as Bam handed the bag to Yugyeom before handing it to him.

“Then why is there a free bag this time?” Yugyeom said curiously to Bam.

“Snatch it up and bring just one piece in case you're not full. Too lazy to run back again,” Bam replied in the form of a normal dog, walking to pick up the rabbit he had left behind.

“Crazy tired”

“You are very talented, my Bam.”

Yugyeom laughed before patting his friend's head, who was lying exhausted, in appreciation.

“Is this okay with Jaebum?”

Jaebum unwrapped the cloth and found various kinds of bread inside. This is bread in the mountain camp.

“Yes, thank you very much.”

Yugyeom nodded as he did not disturb his dinner. While Bam had long turned his back on him to tear up the rabbit's carcass and eat it, Yugyeom himself had transformed into a big white wolf and prepared his own dinner.

It was the weirdest dinner he'd ever had.

Late at night, where there was no sound of life except the sound of small insects, Jaebum opened his eyes because of the cold. The thin cloth the other party brought didn't help alleviate the cold at all. The air was getting colder and colder, making him nervous. He got up and walked outside, relying on the fire that had been lit in the evening.

He rubbed his arms while yawning. The more he encountered the weather outside, the more he hugged himself harder than before.

Terribly cold.

fitly

Jaebeom looked at the picture of a white wolf lying next to the fire before smiling and trying to walk in as quietly as possible but it seemed unsuccessful.

"Can't you sleep?" A sleepy voice spoke even though the other party's eyes were still closed.

"And you"

“Dogs have sensitive ears. I can hear Mr. Jaebum from behind the door,” Yugyeom replied with a chuckle.

Then silence enveloped them both.

“Ah, and what about your friend Yu?”

"Bam, he goes out to play. He doesn't sleep much at night, that one."

Of course, another reason Yugyeom didn't say anything was because BamBam was annoyed with Jaebum. The other party said that Jaebum would definitely make annoying noises late at night and it would prevent him from sleeping. comfortable !

It is considered an accurate guess to a certain extent.

“Khun Yu, are you cold?”

“No.. Are you cold?” Yugyeom asked, straightening up from his crouching position. Once again, Jaebum saw a beautiful, clear crystal ball. One side was gold and sparkling like a star, while the right side was a beautiful blue like the sea in summer.

“Mr. Jaebum..”

“Mr. Jaebum.”

“Yes!?” Jaebum was startled when the other's large, soft paw came up and poked him in the lap before the other returned to his original position.

“I asked if you want to sleep with me.. meaning, I thought my fur would keep you warm,” Yugyeom explained.

Jaebeom almost didn't have to think as his body responded on its own. He moved to sit on the middle of the all-white wolf that was lying there before leaning on it sensibly.

He couldn't deny that Yugyeom's scent made him feel good every time, until he unconsciously raised his hand and caressed the other's smooth white fur.

“Good night.”

“Good night to you too, Jaebum,” Yugyeom responded, waving his beautiful long tail around himself and Jaebum's human form.

Jaebum normally likes cats more than dogs, but it looks like he might have to reconsider. Because this isn't bad at all.

Jaebum was woken up again in the early morning. The air was still cool, which made it even more pleasant to sleep. But the sweet voice that never ceased in his ear made him force his eyelids to wake up.

Yugyeom looked at the person who was pretending to go back to sleep and thought about what he should do, would he lick his face to wake him up? Damn it, he wasn't even a house dog.

"I'm awake."

“So, shall we go?”

Jaebeom nodded in response. Yugyeom saw this and crouched down next to him.

“Come on my back, your leg isn't fully healed yet. Let me walk by myself until we get there, it must be early in the morning.”

Jaebum nodded in understanding before climbing onto the other's back easily.

Yugyeom ran at a slow speed but it didn't take him nearly 10 minutes to arrive at the safety zone of the park where Jaebeom had decided to go.

“Don't forget your promise,” Yugyeom, who had transformed into a human, said to Jaebum.

"yes"

“Good luck,” Yugyeom smiled at the other before turning and preparing to return to the forest.

“Will we meet again!?” Jaebum shouted.

"You'll have to ask fate."

Jaebum watched as the other person disappeared into the forest. He suddenly wanted to run after the white person again.

Jaebeom stayed where he was before letting himself get lost in his thoughts before hearing the sound of a wolf howling. He smiled to himself before walking back to his quarters.

“Where did Mr. Jaebum go all day yesterday? Everyone is really worried.”

"Ah, it's a general survey."

"See, I told you Jaebeom hyung is fine. If you leave him in the forest for 7 days, he'll still survive."

“Yah Park Jimin,” Jaebum shouted immediately.

Park Jimin is a younger sister who works together and is the only woman in the park. You can call her a strong woman.

Of course, what normal woman would want to live in the forest and cry out to catch only tigers?

Luckily, when Jaebum returned, no one was awake yet, so he was able to return to his dorm to clean up and change clothes before anyone got suspicious. And now that it was early morning, he and some of his co-workers sat down. Eat breakfast and sip coffee together.

“Am I telling the truth?”

Jaebum made to smack his junior's head, who made a cheeky face and stuck out his tongue at him again.

“So, was there a dog in the camp yesterday?”

“Huh? How do you know?" Jimin's eyes widened. He hurriedly stuffed the bread into his mouth before continuing, "Normally, I feed you one piece at a time, right? But yesterday you suddenly had the whole bag in your mouth. It's terrible."

“He doesn't like you, Jim.”

Jaebum listened quietly and could only nod his head in agreement. What will happen now?

“In half an hour, it's 8:00, then let's go prepare breakfast for the guests,” Jaebeom said, dismissing his junior colleague immediately before getting up and walking to his own office, which was the same room as His grandfather was there when he was still alive.

He looked at the folded clothes on the sofa as evidence that what happened yesterday was not a dream.

Jaebum got up and opened his desk drawer before pulling out an old crimson notebook. It was his grandfather's notebook. He opened it and read it again, page by page. Most of the content was about what his grandfather had experienced that day.

He flipped through until he reached the page with pictures. Jaebum picked up two old brown photos. One was of a wolf pack with the leader looking at the camera as if he knew he was being photographed. The other was of a wolf. There was a picture of his grandfather holding a two-colored-eyed wild puppy in his arms with a smile on his face that Jaebum couldn't help but smile after.

Ah, that must have been young Yugyeom.

His grandfather recorded the Yugyeom and Bambam as the most beautiful and interesting creatures he had ever seen. They differed from ordinary wolves in that they were larger in size and had unique abilities. Grandpa didn't call the wolves demons, but instead called them special friends. And we humans can live together happily with them, which Jaebum very much agrees with.

The next few pages of the journal began to contain content about illegal hunting. When people found out about this secret, packs of wolves were hunted for their fur to make clothing and home decorations due to their larger size than normal dogs. Some were caught for sale or experimentation. This made many wolves displeased and a fight broke out.

During that time, his grandfather seemed very stressed. Moreover, there was a time when people started rumors that there was a demon in the park that was attacking people and even harming the pets of the villagers in that area. Whether it was a horse or a cow, although there was still no good evidence, the shaman had to create a magic zone to keep the wolves in the forest.

'After that I never saw them again'

This is the last message his grandfather wrote in his story about a special friend.

Jaebum opened and read the remaining pages hurriedly because the contents weren't what he was interested in before putting them back in their place, his hands shifting to picking up the necklace that was placed in the drawer instead.

It was a clear round pendant necklace with a red half-moon inside that belonged to his grandfather. He gave it to himself before he died and entrusted Jaebum to take care of this place. He wanted to sell it or do anything with it, but in the end he chose to take care of it like his grandfather was sure he would. Continue to perform this duty very well.

Jaebum decided to put the necklace on and tuck it into his shirt before leaving to prepare to take care of today's tourists.

“Alright, today we will take everyone up to see the view on the mountain. Please follow the officials in an orderly manner. and help each other take care of the people beside us.”

Jaebeom stood with his arms crossed and looked at the chief officer today who was assigned to take tourists to see the view from above with a smile, but soon a strange sound came out.

Preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Jaebum turned to look at the sound before seeing a familiar black luxury car not far away. The people in the car lowered their windows before waving to greet them as usual. Before Jaebum walked to find the other person in the car.

“By the way, Mr. Jungle, where are you today?”

"Today I took you up to see the view on the mountain. What are you doing here?"

"Come check the area. I'll have workers come into the ground and plant trees to prepare for planting."

“Wow, you are the owner of the vineyard.” Wang Jackson laughed fondly at his friend's flattery.

"I'd like to thank the seller for giving it to me."

“I saw it as a friend so I sold it to you. Trust me.” Jaebum shrugged nonchalantly.

“Okay, go take care of the guests. I'll come see you later in the evening." He gave the other person an OK hand before pulling over to allow the luxury car to move further into the area inside.

“Jaebeom hyung, are you going quickly!!” Jimin's high-pitched shout rang out, catching his attention again.

“I'll follow you!!”

It didn't take them much to walk up the mountain for about half an hour. and let everyone rest and admire the view at the top for about 2 hours, so they returned to the campsite again at around 3:00 p.m.

“How are you?”

“Just like before, a bird with two wings can fly.” Jaebum raised his eyebrows and looked at Jackson annoyed before raising a bottle of water to quench his thirst.

"Oh, that's boring," Jackson laughed. Jaebum pursed his lips at his friend, making a face that said that your work isn't really boring. Suddenly, his mind thought of the white wolf and his friend.

“Well, I think I'll go take a walk in the forest. Please take care of dinner.”

"I'm sleepy at work."

"I'll see. Let's go look at birds, look at trees, and look at the forest."

Jaebum gestured to his friend for teasing him before trotting off. Jaebeom kept walking until he left the park boundary again. The sound of insects making the atmosphere at around 4:00 in the afternoon not seem so scary.

He tried to remember the route the morning the other party had taken him, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of anything because the trees all looked the same. For him to go back now wouldn't be such a deep matter. Just walk around a little more and what will happen?

In fact, he didn't understand what it was like to go into the forest alone at 4:00 p.m. and he didn't bring a new flashlight. He could say that this time he would definitely have bad luck and bad luck if he didn't get back to the camp in time. 6 o'clock

Jaebum looked up at the top of the tree that was almost completely blocking the sunlight. What exactly was he doing here?

Suddenly, a shadow completely covered his face.

Ha!

“Wow!!!?”

“Kik, Mr. Jaebum, what are you doing?” Jaebum, who had fallen to the ground, looked at the white man who was laughing until his eyes crinkled on the steep rocky slope.

“I'm shocked, Mr. Yu.” Jaebum held his hand over his chest. I wasn't sure if my heart was beating fast because I was shocked or happy to see the other person.

“Is your leg healed enough to walk around like this?” Yugyeom asked, tilting his head and looking like a puppy who didn't feel guilty for almost giving him a heart attack. It was so adorable.

“Ah, it's gone.”

"Then what is Mr. Jaebum doing alone? Going deep into the forest alone is dangerous."

“Ah, I'm just here to explore the area,” Jaebum lazily replied to the other party while pointing his hand randomly.

"Really? You weren't looking for me, were you?"

Really crazy, aside from being beautiful, why do you have to be smart?

Since the other party asks directly, he will answer directly.

"yes"

Her pretty face raised her eyebrows in an expression of disbelief.

“Actually, it's ... ah, I'm going to get the dress back.”

Yugyeom, who was squatting and hugging his knees on the hill, heard this and jumped down to the same level as Jaebeom before leaning forward to look at the other's left and right side with discretion.

“Where? Mr. Jaebum came here empty-handed.”

“I suspect it may have fallen off.”

“Ah, Mr. Jaebum is such a liar like Bam said.”

“No!” Jaebum quickly corrected himself.

“I know, I'm just teasing you.” Yugyeom laughed again after successfully teasing the person in front of him.

“But is there something you really want to see me about?”

Jaebum looked at the white person who was still smiling at him with big, clear eyes like those of a puppy.

When Jaebum refused to answer, the other party tilted his head to look at his face back and forth as if he was expecting an answer.

"miss"

"yes?"

Yugyeom looked confused. But Jaebum didn't let the other person's expression be puzzled for long, his rough hands supporting the beautiful face before looking deeply into the other's eyes.

"I miss you"

If Yugyeom was the wolf demon that the villagers told in legends, then Yugyeom's special ability would definitely be the fact that another person would always appear in his thoughts.

Jaebum whistled rhythmically as if sending a signal in a forest where only the sounds of small animals could be heard.

Not long after, the rustling sound of the bushes followed before the body of a large, beautiful white wolf leapt out and transformed into a tall, slender body, pounced on Jaebeom's thick body.

“I'm late today,” Yugyeom chuckled, gently caressing his face to inspect the scent.

Hmm... food smell

“Ah... wait a minute, you look wet, what are you doing?” Jaebeom pushes the other person away before smoothing the white man's damp facial hair aside.

“Oh, I just caught some fish and played with Bam.” Yugyeom laughed again.

Jaebum nodded in understanding before taking off his backpack and taking out the contents inside.

“Today there's going to be a barbecue at the camp, so I'm sharing some for you and Bambam as well.”

Yugyeom looked at the piece of meat in the plastic box and his eyes immediately lit up before thanking him.

Jaebum had been doing this for a while, since the day he met Yugyeom in the forest again. He had to admit that he seemed addicted to seeing Yugyeom, and he never got tired of looking at his face. The beauty of the other party, whether in the form of a human or a white wolf, some days he just sits there and watches the other party catch fish with him, or they let him playfully scold him because he accidentally made a noise. So loud that their lunch ran away.

“It's almost winter. Are you guys going to hibernate?” Jaebum asked as they sat on a large tree with branches sticking out towards the waterfall.

"Not really. I'll sleep a little more than before."

Jaebum looked at the other before reaching out to fondle the soft hair, and Yugyeom, who knew his job, closed his eyes and tilted his head pleadingly towards the other's hand.

In fact, both Yugyeom and BamBam have personalities that are no different from other dogs. I mean, when they're close, they can rub their heads and tails. (Even if he's never been able to kiss Bam, just hold out his hand and he'll kiss you."

“What about Mr. Jaebum?”

“Well, it's probably the same. But we will add other activities to the camp as well.”

Yugyeom nodded, listening to every word Jaebum said with interest because Yugyeom didn't know much about human life. White people like it when Jaebum tells stories.

“ ... Sometimes if there are Boy Scouts, I mean kids who are learning survival lessons. We will also hide the chocolate bars in the trees under the snow for them to find…”

secretly

“ ... But in some years the snow is too thick and we have to close it... “

Yugyeom took his eyes off the person who was intent on telling a story and looked around.

“Is something wrong, Yugyeom?”

secretly

“Someone came...”

Thump

“Jackson?”

Jaebum looked at the person who brushed away the leaves.

"Do you think it's a tiger? It's making a face." The person who was greeted laughed softly.

“Sir.. what are you doing?”

"I've seen that you've been disappearing a lot lately, so I want to know what's good about the forest, that's all."

Jaebeom clenched his sweaty hands before trying to act as normal as possible. His eyes secretly caught a glimpse of the white person hiding behind a large tree and he signaled with his hand to stay still.

“I just found out that there's a waterfall here too,” Jackson said as he walked over and splashed his hand in the water.

"Um, I just found out."

“During this time, I saw that the villagers said that the chickens had disappeared again and that the wild animals were probably hungry.”

Jaebum tried his best to keep his expression as normal as possible.

“That's just a warning to be careful. Whatever happens, it's going to get worse."

“Thank you for your concern.” Jaebum stood up and patted the other's shoulder.

“Then let's go back to camp.”

“Wait, what about the person who was with you just now?”

“Huh? What's wrong with me being alone with you, Jackson?”

“No, I think I saw a tall man with a nice figure.”

"You're blindsided."

“Oh, my eyes are blurry, my eyes are blurry.”

Jaebum sighed in relief, not noticing Jackson's strange expression.

“You can go and come back - hey!!!”

Jaebeom immediately cried out when his fellow athlete suddenly changed direction and rushed towards behind a large tree almost immediately.

do not have

Jackson frowned and looked around. How could this be possible before noticing that a tall bush not too far away was gently moving?

Now, he must know who his good friend is hiding.

He didn't speak or dance and the muscular body of the athlete didn't hesitate to chase that sound.

“Jackson!! Come back here!!!” Jaebum ran after Jackson almost immediately.

Damn it.

Yugyeom, who was still running away from Jackson, turned around and looked back from time to time.

Damn it, when I was in a human body I couldn't move as I wanted. But turning back into a dog would make it even easier for the other party to see him.

The white man breathed heavily when there was no sound of anyone following him before walking slowly, looking behind him from time to time until he completely forgot to look at the ground.

Crack!

“Ow!” Yugyeom immediately fell to the ground when his left leg stepped on a bear trap.

“Where have you gone?” Jackson's voice, which rang out in the distance, made Yugyeom even more worried. His white hand tried to pry off the spike until it cut his hand, but it didn't work. But luckily, there was a tree here. that is enough to cover oneself The light figure decided to bite his lip and bear the pain and hid behind a tree instead.

“Jackson!! Please take it easy.”

"You can't lie to me," Jackson made a cheeky face. But Jaebum doesn't play along.

"I really am alone. Please believe it-"

Bruh!

This time, both Jaebum and Jackson were silent before looking at each other.

"wolf"

“We have to return to camp right now,” Jaebeom orders, which Jackson doesn't seem to resist like he did at first.

Just as they were about to retreat, the figure of a panther suddenly leapt out from behind the tree. Jackson escaped from its paws by just a few inches.

"run!!"

“I wouldn't have told you!” Jackson, who had fallen, hurriedly scrambled away and ran away, while the panther leapt after him.

“Yugyeom, Yugyeom, where are you?” Jaebeom quickly turned left and right to find the white figure because he wasn't sure how much he could hold his friend down.

No, really, I have to worry about whether BamBam will rip his friend's head off his shoulder first or not.

Ning

“Yugyeom!!” Jaebeom hurriedly ran after the sound and went towards Yugyeom, who was now a big white wolf again. His hind legs were stuck in a bear trap with bright red blood smeared on his colored fur. It's all beautiful.

“Hold on,” Jaebum didn't hesitate, using his own hands to pry apart the metal jaws holding the other's legs apart.

“Damn it,” Jaebum tried to use all his strength to separate the mouth of the trap until his rough hand was covered in blood from the metal cut.

Seriously!

Without waiting, when the trap broke, Yugyeom hurriedly pulled his legs out before grabbing Jaebeom by the neck, throwing him onto his back and immediately taking off running into the deep forest.

The sky was now dark and they were both in Yugyeom's house again.

“Don't worry, my friend, you'll be fine,” Yugyeom, who was in human form, said as he wrapped a cloth around the wound on his leg. After wrapping it around my own hand

“I have already warned you not to hurt people, so Jaebeom-san, you don't have to worry.”

“Right now I'm more worried about you than Yugyeom-ah,” Jaebeom said, a little annoyed. The other party looked more worried about others than himself and was ready to walk towards the other party but was chased by a white person who walked towards him before pushing him to sit on the bed.

"I'm fine, Mr. Jaebum. Please."

“Give me your hand,” Yugyeom said, smiling as he knelt in front of Jaebum.

Jaebum placed his hand over the other's bandaged hand, easily trying to complain to the other person who still had a smile on his face. But every word was swallowed completely as the white man stuck out his tongue and licked his palm.

A hot, moist tongue traced the wound of the rough palm that had been cut with metal without disgust. Even though there was blood stains, a few minutes later the wound slowly healed before disappearing. Jaebum himself felt no pain. too

“This is my special ability.” Yugyeom looked up and smiled shyly after treating another person's wound.

"I'll take Mr. Jaebum back to you so your friend won't be worried-"

The sweet voice was cut off when the hot lips of the person in front of him pressed down on him before he sucked on some overbearing lips.

“Never mind, I'm more worried about you.” Jaebum pulled the thin man to his forehead.

“I want to be with you,” he said against his thin lips.

“I love you, Yugyeom.” Jaebum pulled away and looked at the other person with a serious expression before the person in front of him pulled him in for another kiss.

Their lips pressed together as if they were afraid the other would disappear. Jaebum let go of his fresh lips and went to the crook of his white neck before the thin man slowly pushed the other down to lie down on the bed, sending his hands to explore the house. The figure under the other's shade squeezed as the lust erupted as Yugyeom reached out and wrapped her hand around his neck.

“I am yours.. Mr. Jaebum.”

The two bodies were hugging each other on the bed, with Jaebum still busy sniffing the neck of the person in his embrace and kissing all over the other's smooth, white back.

“What is this mark?” Jaebum asked as his mouth continued to kiss the back of the other's neck.

Yugyeom sat up, causing Jaebeom to helplessly get up and follow him. before touching the back of his neck that had a half-moon pattern on it

"I see it's a curse."

Jaebum placed his chin on the other's shoulder before nodding as a gesture for the other to continue speaking.

“Bam, I have this mark too.. It prevents us from leaving this forest area. To prevent them from going out and hurting anyone.”

"But I think it's not that bad. We're happy living like this."

Jaebum pressed another deep kiss to the mark on the other's back as if to comfort him before changing the subject.

“No wonder I just learned that you were able to heal others the first day I pursued you. There's no wound on your leg."

“That day I didn't step on any traps. Besides, I can heal other people, but I can't heal myself.”

"Oh, but there's blood on it."

"Are they mulberries? Squirrels like to pick them and might drop them."

“Ah, I don't know, it was dark back then.” Jaebum shakes his shoulders nonchalantly before they both laugh together.

“Tomorrow Mr. Jaebum has to go back.”

“I don't want to go back.”

“The people over there will be worried.”

"So you're not worried about me?"

".. I'm worried."

Jaebum tightened his hold on the white man even more in the silence.

"Mr. Jaebum"

“Hm.”

“After going back..”

"Don't come looking for me again."

"Why"

“Aren't you afraid that BamBam will rip your head off your shoulders?” Yugyeom chuckled.

“No, because you definitely wouldn't let him do that.”

After a few days, Jaebeom went into the forest again, but no matter how he whistled or called out to the other person, there was no expression or even a shadow of a person coming towards him.

“You act like a heartbroken person, Jaebeom hyung,” Jimin, who was walking in front of him carrying things, greeted him.

“I saw that last week Mr. Jackson encountered a black panther in the forest. He should have banned Mr. Jaebum from entering the forest,” was another official who spoke up.

“Why don't you go into the forest? The day before that That thing and that thing. And yesterday and today I just came here.”

Jaebum didn't argue with anything but sat with his chin resting and glancing tiredly at his junior colleague.

“You look like there's a bonfire party today, right?” It was Jackson who walked over and sat down next to Jaebum before picking up his coffee cup and drinking.

Jaebum glanced at the other person before sighing even harder. He suddenly felt annoyed that the other person had gone crazy that day and was worried about him and secretly followed him into the forest. How good was it that he still managed to escape from Bam's clutches? can

“Work started at 8:00 p.m., it's only 3:00 p.m.”

“It's been a while since I've been excited.” Jackson hugged Jaebum's neck and pointed out the pile of logs that the officials had begun to stack in a rectangular shape high up in the open space.

“Oh, I'm excited, wow,” Jaebum said, brushing the other's arm away.

"I'm feeling sleepy. I'm going to bed first."

“K, save your energy for the evening, friend. Don't get drunk, don't quit.”

"Yes"

At 8:00 p.m., the square is still lively with the sound of drums and chatter. Both officials and tourists joined in the fun while Jaebum chose to sit in his own quiet corner.

"Aren't you going to get up and dance?"

“No, you go,” Jaebeom rebuffs Jackson, who is now starting to laugh as he has a bottle of fermented fruit juice, or more simply, natural liquor, in the other person's phone.

He looked at everyone who was out dancing and having fun before smiling slightly at seeing how happy everyone was.

“Alright everyone, now is the right time. Please invite Mr. Jaebum, the owner of this national park camp, to light a giant bonfire!”

Jaebeom got up and walked out at the sound of the voice and picked up the torch and held it in his hand. He looked around as many people had torches in their hands.

“Yes, I hope everyone has a happy night!” With that, he tossed the torch stick into the pile of firewood that was arranged high in a square shape, as the surrounding people cheered and applauded before the others. Gradually, torch sticks will be thrown. Light a large pile of firewood to create a giant fire.

Jaebum looked at the scene in front of him with amazement. Ah, I had to take a photo...but I forgot to bring my camera.

He turned and prepared to walk back to his hotel to pick up his favorite film camera, but then he caught the eye of some people standing behind a tree in the dark.

As quick as his thoughts were, he changed direction from his villa to the person he'd wanted to see all week, almost instantly.

“Yugyeom..” The other person didn't even walk away from him until Jaebum approached him and pulled him into a hug.

“I saw a bright light so I stopped by to take a look.” The white man laughed as he hugged the thick man back.

“Want to take a closer look?”

“Ah.. It's okay. I think it's not good.”

“It's okay, come on.” Jaebum smiled again as he took the other's hand and walked them to sit together in the open space.

“Is it going to be good, Mr. Jaebum..” Yugyeom whispered softly as his eyes wandered to look at the lively atmosphere around him in an unfamiliar way.

"It's okay. Everyone's having fun. No one's going to notice you."

“Who is this?”

Yugyeom was startled before he looked up at the new person who had come to greet him.

Wang Jackson

“Are you drunk?”

“Not yet.”

“Oh, I forgot to introduce you, this is Yugyeom.” Jaebum tightened his grip on the other's cold hand as encouragement.

“Hello, I'm Jackson. I'm a partner here, a little bit,” Jackson said, making a gesture before reaching out to shake Yugyeom's.

“Nice to meet you.” The white man could only smile dryly, trying to act normal. Even though Jackson seemed friendlier now than back then, he still didn't trust the other person.

Today's night sky is clear and pleasant, and the clouds that were blocking the moon are slowly moving away. Until I saw a beautiful, soft, full moon in the dark.

“Look, the moon tonight is so beautiful,” Jackson, who was looking up at the sky, said to his two friends.

“Um, it's beautiful,” Jaebum laughed.

"And Mr. Yugyeom, do you think you're beautiful?" This time Jackson changed to asking the white person.

“It's beautiful.”

"Why are you quiet? Is Jack so beautiful that you're stunned?"

Jackson placed the bottle of water in his hand before moving his face closer to Yugyeom and caressing her pretty face with discretion.

"What are you doing?"

"wolf"

“What is this to you?” Jaebum immediately brushed aside Jackson's hand that was holding the white man's face before turning to ask if he was okay with the other party, but was quiet when he saw that Yugyeom's right eye was Shined by the moon's light, it turned blue.

“Jaebeom, you must have a good answer about this.” Jackson grabbed the white man's arm and walked half-dragging him towards the residence.

“What are you going to do!?” Jaebum immediately grabbed Jackson's arm that was holding Yugyeom's wrist while he only made a face of confusion at the current situation.

The noise of the quarreling became louder and louder until many people began to look at them. Jimin, noticing their bad behavior, signaled the other officials to gradually take the tourists back to their accommodations.

“What happened?”

"So Jaebum-"

“!!!?” Jackson's eyes widened again when he saw the black-haired retriever dog walking with Jimin.

He remembered the color of his eyes! The same eye color as that panther.

“This is it! There are two! Jimin, hold it!!” Jackson pointed at the dog and Yugyeom.

“Calm down!!” Jaebeom saw that he was in a bad position and stood to cover Yugyeom before signaling the other person to run away.

"What's wrong with you, Jackson?"

Jackson shook his head in displeasure before noticing the white person who was about to flee. So he turned and grabbed the short-barreled gun of a nearby officer and used it.

Bang bang !!

"scream!!"

“Jackson, what the hell are you doing?!” Jaebeom immediately grabbed his friend who was holding a handgun, while Jimin hurriedly had the other officials escort the remaining tourists out.

“Let go!” Jackson ignored Jaebum in the slightest, his eyes looking at the white figure who was sitting slumped and trying to crawl away.

“Talk nicely from the beginning, no one will actually get hurt.” Jackson agreed to wave the gun away with Jaebeom before walking towards the person who was shaking on the ground because one shot grazed the other person's leg.

Grown

Jackson was slightly startled when he saw a large black wolf in front of him. The orange light from the giant fire made the wolf's eyes look even fiercer, as if it would burn anyone who came close to its friend. Oh

Many officials began to return and were shocked to see a 5-year-old wolf. Bared feet

Jackson saw this and ordered him to surround it while he himself went after Yugyeom.

Jaebum looked at the black wolf that was surrounded, but Bambam's eyes told him to follow Yugyeom instead. He nodded before quickly running after Jackson and Yugyeom.

A large wolf growled in its throat as it circled the fire while surrounding it were guards with torches in their hands and forked sticks.

Hey, that's so funny.

A bunch of long tails knocked down the high fire in front of them, causing the sticks to fall all over the place, until some of them rolled into the bushes, causing a fire that quickly spread.

Bruh!

If you really want to die He'll arrange it for you.

“Jackson! Stop it!!” Jaebum shouted as he chased after the other person, but the other person didn't seem to be listening.

Jackson chased after a white man who ran behind the park.

I suspect some little dog has lost track of him because it's a dead end.

“You better get out, you can't escape.” Jackson turned to walk leisurely before seeing the white man holding his injured left arm, breathing heavily, leaning against the high iron fence.

plunging

Jackson fell instantly because of the force that struck him from behind.

“Yugyeom ran away!!”

Yugyeom looked at Jaebeom who was delaying him with worry.

“I can't go!”

Yes, because behind the iron fence was a road line that was outside of the area he could cross.

“Don't bother me, I'm not going to do anything!” Jackson turned around and slammed a heavy punch into his friend's sharp face.

“Didn't you do it? But you shot Yugyeom!” Jaebeom turned around a bit before exchanging blows.

Jackson kicked Jaebum in the stomach so hard that he had to bend over because of the pain.

Thump

The necklace that Jaebum was wearing fell out without him knowing.

Jackson started noticing the smoke and the orange glow that was getting bigger and bigger before realizing that a fire was burning in the forest.

“Crazy..”

“That's enough for you.. Don't mess with him.” Jaebum panted, getting up and locking Jackson again.

“Let's save ourselves first.” Jackson looked at the forest fire that was beginning to spread, alternating between his friend and the white man who was still like a stalled dog.

" do not-"

Crack!

“Whatever you do, Jaebum, I'll just help.” Jackson, who was about to walk towards Yugyeom, was stopped again.

“Yugyeom ran away.”

Yugyeom looked at Jaebum who was quite battered. Yugyeom was afraid.

I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of here.

I'm afraid what will happen to Jaebum.

But the other's pleading eyes made the white man decide to transform into a white wolf.

Jackson looked at the scene in front of him, unable to believe his eyes. It was both beautiful and beautiful. Until he felt guilty for accidentally staining that beautiful white fur with blood.

Yugyeom mustered the last of his strength before jumping onto the wooden roof and hurtling into the forest, disappearing in flames.

Jackson turned to look at Jaebum, who was now standing on his own knees, before noticing what was next to his friend's feet.

“Jaebeom, your grandfather's necklace …”

Jaebum looked at what the other person said before finding that the pendant had already been stepped on and shattered into small pieces.

“Whatever...”

After a while, a whistle sounded and a fire truck came running. Before it was Jimin who ran up to the two of them and led them out.

Thanks to Jimin's quick-wittedness, he called the fire department as soon as the fire broke out. Otherwise, the forest would be damaged even more, and he and Jackson might not even survive.

Jaebeom looked at the damage with a pained heart. Jackson was no different. Several officials including firemen were slowly cleaning up the area. Fortunately, there were no seriously injured people, only scratches. He looked at the smoke that had not yet cleared.

There was not even a shadow of the big black dog that had caused the damage. Or another white wolf that disappeared along with his heart.

The park was closed for renovations in order to repair the damaged areas. Jaebum apologized to Grandpa's picture for not being able to take care of the forest as well as Grandpa did. He decided to return to living in the city again. Living with the chaos of the city, leaving everything as if it had never happened, like it was his own imagination.

It had been almost 2 months since the park had been closed before Jaebum received a phone call again, just in time for winter. He wasn't sure if he would be able to take good care of it. But Jimin asked him to go back because there was no one who could take care of this forest as much as Jaebum could. He also received a call from his friend Jackson who had arranged to meet at a coffee shop near the park.

I have to admit that he's still a little annoyed by it. But because they were friends for a long time, he couldn't get angry and they talked about the incident and apologized to each other.

Because Jackson and he had been friends since childhood, of course the other person was equally close to his grandfather. To know about Grandpa's special friends, Jackson had never met them in person. Because the other party was a non-human who could transform into a wild animal, he was afraid that he would have more animal instincts and so he accidentally did something like that out of fear and excitement.

Now it's half an hour past the appointment time, but Jaebum still doesn't see the shadow of the person making the appointment at all. Is it a good idea to take the land back from him?

Thump

“Oh, I'm sorry.” Jaebeom nodded his head in a nod to the person who bumped into him in front of the checkout counter. His heart suddenly pounded once more when he saw the familiar face of the person in front of him.

Jaebum moved aside to allow the other person to walk easily while various thoughts formed in his head.

The person who bumped into him just now looked so similar to Yugyeom that I thought they were the same person. But Yugyeom couldn't leave the park's boundaries.

The thick figure shook his head to chase away his delusional thoughts before looking for a seat in the shop, but suddenly another part of his mind ordered him to get up and grab the hand of a white person who was about to walk out of the shop.

"Ah, I'm sorry.. have we met before?"

The other party didn't reply, just looked at Jaebum's face.

“Well.. your face looks like someone I know. Very similar.”

Jaebum immediately apologized profusely to the other party when he realized that he had greeted the wrong person. The white person just smiled as if it was nothing.

“I thought we had forgotten each other,” a sweet, familiar voice said. Jaebum looked at the person in front of him with a dazed expression once again.

“Mr. Jaebum.. Mr. Jaebum.” Yugyeom gently nudged the other person because he saw Jaebeom go completely still before he was gathered into a hug until his cheeks almost fell from the water in his hand.

It's not a dream. The person in front of him hugging him really existed.

“I miss you like crazy, you know that?”

"Now I've come back to find you."

"I told you, I'm yours."

“It's really you.” Jaebum casually touched the other's body until Yugyeom burst out laughing because of the ticklishness.

“Yes, it's me.”

“So how did this come out?”

“I don't know, I suddenly walked across. Normally, it's like there's a clear wall separating them,” Yugyeom replied as he sat swinging his legs back and forth on the balcony of his house, stretching his face to the cool breeze.

“And with Jackson..”

"I'm not angry at him anymore."

“Why give in so easily?”

The white man immediately burst out laughing.

“Well, he's already apologized to me.” Moreover, Bam was acting angry on his behalf. He still hadn't told Jaebum about Bam going to wait for Jackson in the farm area behind the shift. Cock the human's neck to death with his fangs and then drag the body to throw it on the cliff.

“This is good so I can take you on a trip together.”

“Jaebeom has already spoken.”

“Breaking your promise is such a rotten bitch.” Yugyeom snorted at the words of the bold man who was now laughing happily.

Bruh!

“I think I'd better go take a walk with Bam.” The white man stood up and brushed off the dust from his body before climbing to sit on the balcony and crossing to the other side, preparing to leap down from the second floor.

“Come on..” Jaebeom gently chided, even though he knew the other person was fine. But the person who was being scolded didn't listen and even stuck out his tongue at him. It was very annoying.

Yugyeom turned to look at Jaebum again before smiling wide and narrowing his eyes at him.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you one more thing."

“Welcome home, Mr. Jaebum.”

The thick figure walked up to the thin person standing on the other side of the balcony before pressing a heavy kiss with oily fangs before turning it into a gentle, passionate kiss instead.

“It's wrong and we have to welcome you back to 'our' home.” Jaebum pressed his forehead against the other's and whispered against the other's lips.

He looked at the scene where Yugyeom was laughing after he let him go free before the thin person jumped off the second floor balcony and transformed into a white wolf with a smile.

Jaebum has returned to his 'home' once again. And now he was finally able to live in his own home with the people he loved.
