In the mysterious forest, thousands of kilometers deep, there are still legends of various demons. Just like this northern forest, there are legends of werewolves. And there is a cat demon.

The two tribes made an agreement to divide up their living and hunting areas so that there would be no competition for food even though there was only one cat demon.

'Park Jinyoung' is the name of that cat demon, or what the Japanese call Nekomata, that doesn't take the form of a normal house cat, but instead takes the form of an ancient, two-tailed tiger of enormous size.

Believe me, cats don't get along with dogs these days. Tigers and wolves don't get along like that either.

Both clans were able to maintain that rule very well. There was no invasion of the other side's territory in any way. As a result, Jinyoung never had any problems with the wolves.

Until that day

The day that the stench of the wolf's curse reached his nostrils. It can't be said to be a cursed smell. Because the smell was cleaner than that of a normal wolf that hunted until its fur was covered with various stains.

Jinyoung followed the scent in silence. Sharp amber eyes searched for the source of the scent, ready to pounce on the other party at any moment.

Before everything was halted, he walked up to the source of the smell and saw that it was a small white wolf cub chasing a butterfly.

The young tiger let out a sigh. Looking at the white wolf cub who was still unconscious.

If it were just a wolf cub It probably doesn't matter.

Jinyoung decided to walk back when he saw that the other person was just a puppy and couldn't do any harm. Immediately he could not walk very far. Accidentally, he just turned around before he could even take a step. A lump of white fur suddenly appeared and caught his eye from beneath his chest.

The wolf cub's beautiful eyes with different colors made Jinyoung unable to help but admire him. But when you see the puppy-like behavior like sticking out your tongue and tilting your head to stare at his face from underneath, it really makes you want to kick him with his paw and pretend to push him down.

Jinyoung chose to ignore it and continued walking, ignoring the wolf cub. But the sound of little paws still followed.

Jinyoung turned to look. The other party stopped.

As he continued walking, there was another sound of rattling.

Until he had to turn around and threaten the wolf cub that was following behind him until the lump of white fur accidentally flinched, his ears and tail turned so adorable that it was adorable.

“Why are you following me?”

“K..Kyom has nothing to do. I agreed to go out for a walk,” a clear voice replied. The cute ears turned erect again when the person in front of him didn't seem as cruel as he thought. The fluffy tip of the tail swished back and forth, showing unconcealed joy.

A dog is a dog.

“Then go back and take a walk in your place.”

"No, I'm bored. I'm walking so often that I'm willing to close my eyes and walk around the house."

Jinyoung sighed before continuing on.

Along with the sound of waddling that followed again.

“Hey!!” The young tiger accidentally roared so loudly that the wolf cub automatically dropped its tail and ears down to sit on the ground.

"K..I'd like to come with you, Uncle."

“Have you never heard of a tiger demon? And this is my area.”

“Kyom has heard that! Mother told Kyom that the tiger demon was scary. Be careful or you'll get eaten.”

“So you see me as a dog? Why do you keep following me like this?”

“Because Uncle isn't scary. Plus, Uncle hasn't eaten my cock yet." The wolf cub said with a joyful expression.

Okay, Park Jin Young's afternoon meal today. Would you like to be a white wolf cub?

The young tiger looked at the pile of clean, white fur as if it were a newborn puppy (which was close enough) who was still sitting and staring with wistful puppy eyes.

It's almost lunch time here. It's considered hunting for the kids to watch.

“You can follow me. But don't make loud noises. Otherwise, I will eat you instead of the deer, do you understand?”

“Ah! I'll be a good kid. Didn't make a sound at all.”

The lunch hunt ended with an unfortunate deer becoming lunch for one tiger and one wolf cub. The little boy's eyes lit up when he saw the large piece of meat in front of him.

“Uncle, can you give me something to eat!?”

“Um, will you eat or not?”

“Eat it!!” The white puppy shook its tail in delight, not wanting to hide its feelings for the slightest.

The two of them didn't spend long having lunch which was almost an afternoon. until the remains have been dealt with The wolf child still insists on staying with Jinyoung. But it was already evening and it wouldn't be good for this puppy to wander past outside of their area.

In the end, the little one was carried by Jinyoung by the neck back to the wolf's territory as usual. He could only open his mouth and make cries all the way.

“Uncle! Let go of your consent! The sun has not yet risen over the mountain.”

The young tiger dropped the puppy to the ground with its socket stuck. before kicking his foot until the little one rolled onto his back, receiving a threat of coming back as well.

This is the scariest thing ever. Is this a puppy or a kitten?

“You can go back now. The house must have been busy searching for you.”

“Ah, but ..”

Jinyoung raised his eyebrows at the mewling puppy.

“Can I ask Uncle's name? Uncle hasn't told Kyom his name yet."

The tiger remained calm as before until the white puppy became alarmed that the other party might not be satisfied and changed the question instead.

"Kyom doesn't want to know Uncle's name.."

“So! Tomorrow, Kyom can come see Uncle, right?" The puppy said softly and looked pitifully at him.

Take it with him, and you can see that if he refuses, there's a chance he'll bring a puppy home. Such a stubborn face So he was forced to accept the promise.

"um"

The sound of the answer stopped. The puppy's eyes instantly sparkled. Before saying goodbye to the young tiger easily, without forgetting that they would come see each other again.

Come on, maybe this puppy really didn't come to him.

“Uncle, what are you doing?” A puppy growing up in the body of a 15 year old human appeared from behind Jinyoung. Looking at the other person, who was also in human form, he was flipping through a dull yellow page indicating that something had been used for a long time.

“A book,” Jinyoung replied.

“A book? What is a book?” But Yugyeom can't read.

“Of humans.”

To explain it a bit more accurately, it's the hunters who have a bad personality and are mauled by the horns. But if I tell you everything, I'm afraid the puppy will be startled.

“Uncle, what does he say here?” Yugyeom pointed to a page that had some sort of drawing of berries with squiggly black lines.

“It says edible,” Jinyoung concluded shortly. Actually, he didn't know how to read. Maybe it was because he had probably been a pet cat living in a human's home when he was a normal cat before becoming the King of the Forest like this. And it probably comes with me.

“Then Kyom can eat it, right?” The little boy's eyes lit up, expecting an answer from the older man's mouth.

“What kind of fruit do you want to eat as a dog?”

“If it's delicious, I'll eat it all~”

Jinyoung wasn't surprised at all that this puppy was so slender. Have you been hunting recently? Every day I chase fish in the water and run around. Isn't this how I was raised in an extremely haughty way?

You mean this kid's wolf parents?

nothing

He's the one who's crazy.

The sun starting to change direction is a sign that evening is coming. Jinyoung walks out and sends Yugyeom back to the wolf zone like always. Right now, Yugyeom was only as tall as his chin, but it would have been even taller.

“I'm ready to go, Uncle.” The white wolf in the body of a young man smiled brightly and waved his hand. Jinyoung only nodded. But before they had even walked back to their respective forests, a new person appeared from the wolf's side, Peekaboo and Yugyeom.

The young man was probably around the same age as Yugyeom. But he has raven black hair with a little bit of red at the tips. With fierce, dark gray eyes, he looked slightly shocked before crying out at being his own friend.

“Oh Bam,” Bam looked at his friend who was smiling brightly at him before looking at the strange young man standing staring at them on the other side of the forest.

His instincts made him pull his white friend behind him before he immediately hissed at the person on the other side.

This is the kind of reaction Jinyoung hoped Yugyeom would have when he met him. But in reality, the puppy ran at him as if he were siblings crawling together.

“Bam!”

“You better move forward.” Bam continued to stare at Jinyoung without batting an eye while his hand reached out to block his friend.

Oh, living in a pack of wolves is so good like this.

“It's okay, bam. His uncle is kind. He's not going to do anything to us." Yugyeom lightly touched his friend's arm. But Bam still doesn't trust him.

Jinyoung's mouth unconsciously curled into a smile when he saw the protective attitude of the other wolf cub who was protecting his friend.

As soon as Jinyoung raised his arm Bam was startled and hurriedly pushed his friend back until they both almost tripped and fell together. Jinyoung laughed in his throat with affection.

He just raised his hand and waved goodbye to Yugyeom. But this tanned kid probably thought he would cause some harm.

He then disappeared back into his forest, with the two pairs of wolf cubs' eyes still following him.

“Uncle! Is Uncle there? You're so stupid!” Yugyeom's clear voice echoed throughout the cave where Jinyoung slept, causing him to furrow his brow in annoyance.

A few moments later, the youth's body fearlessly leapt onto the sleeping giant tiger.

“Go down.”

“Uncle, come quickly with Kyom. There's something for you to see!”

The young tiger still closed his eyes, but the people who were bothering him didn't seem to notice him. Still shaking him

“Wet hands”

“Ah, I'm sorry, but now it's not wet anymore!” The other party said, spreading out his pinkish-white hands with human-style knuckles for Jinyoung to see.

Of course, I've already been playing with his fur.

“Young master, get up quickly.”

In the end, Jinyoung had to transform into a human and follow the white boy who dragged him by the arm to follow him out of the cave.

Yugyeom took his hand and led him until he stopped at a stream. Before Jinyoung saw that there was a raven black wolf, he assumed it was a boy named Bam.

“Uncle, wait here. Look, don't secretly sleep,” Yugyeom said eagerly before transforming back into his white wolf form and jumping into the stream.

Jinyoung looked at the puppy playing in the water and couldn't help but smile. But his eyes caught sight of a black wolf that was still staring at him without batting an eye.

This puppy is very jealous of his friends.

“Unwoong!! Wuyi.” Jinyoung turned his attention once again to the white puppy with a fish in its mouth before the other person walked up to him.

“Don't shake it..”

Before he could finish speaking, Yugyeom put the fish down on the ground and shook his feathers with all his might until the water splashed all over Jinyoung.

This little dog Would you like to take a bite?

“I'm willing to catch fish now! It was Bam who taught him,” the puppy bragged nonstop while Jinyoung was busy wiping up the water droplets that had splashed all over his body.

“Are you good at Kyom?!”

A smile lit up his handsome face once again. Jinyoung nodded lightly. Well, at least the puppy knows how to hunt fish.

“Today, Kyom will catch fish for Uncle himself!!”

Jinyoung's smile faltered before he quickly denied it.

Believe me, if I wait for this kid to catch fish, it will probably have to wait until the afternoon. In the end, Jinyoung volunteered to go hunting like usual, but this time he had additional men with him.

Yugyeom? If you're that stubborn, just dream.

I have to admit that BamBam's wolf sense is very good as a hunter. But he didn't say Yugyeom didn't have sense. But white wolves are more suitable for chasing and herding prey. Yugyeom did this job quite well.

Sometimes he thinks Had he done anything to the wolf tribe before? One becomes two Jinyoung now has two wolf cubs courting him as if he were a stepfather.

BamBam began to accept him as the person who taught him how to hunt prey and various techniques for this one to understand. But this other person, aside from sitting with a dog face that was worth grabbing and fighting until his teeth sunk in, I don't know if he thought he was the wolf's father or not, to have followed him like this.

“Ah, Uncle, that day, I would like to meet a human too.”

“Hmm? And how did you meet him?”

“When Kyom and Mother were looking for a place to stay for the upcoming winter, it happened to pass by the eastern stream.”

“And this guy was kidnapped as well. Don't be careful,” Bam hurriedly interjected.

“Bam, don't be scolding. Well, we're shocked."

Jinyoung turns to agree with Bam. Until Yugyeom started acting like he was bent on not having anyone's side.

“Ah, that's right, it's almost winter,” Jinyoung mused softly.

“Yes, Kyom and Bam have to go live in the eastern mountains. I definitely wouldn't come to see Uncle."

“Just wait for the winter to come.”

“Uncle, I promised you not to escape from Kyom.”

"So where do you want me to go?" Seriously.

"I don't know. Uncle promised before."

“Um, I'll wait.”

When winter begins Jinyoung had also started to enter his hibernation season but he hadn't slept that much all day. There was some hunting, but not as much as during normal times.

Months passed until white snow began to fall from the sky until the entire forest and grassland became completely white. Including the mating season of tigers that is coming up.

Of course Jinyoung would get through it like every year. Just be patient and wait for the time to pass like always.

But this year, that was not the case. When he was lying in a nice cave, he heard loud footsteps entering the cave.

He could only ask if it was a hare or a deer. But the scent that reached his nose clearly told him what kind of animal the other person was.

“Uncle confused?”

Jinyoung was trying to hold back his breath before keeping quiet, completely ignoring the white wolf who had just not arrived at the right time.

It's not winter yet, is it? So why did this kid show up here?

The sound of footsteps moved closer and closer until they disappeared. Jinyoung thought that the other person might walk away but he didn't when a light touch gently touched the young tiger's face.

Jinyoung's eyes immediately widened. This made the young man unintentionally startled as well.

“What's wrong with you, Uncle? Are you sick?”

“..” Jinyoung accidentally stared at the white wolf who was now in human form. before quickly turning his head and running away in the other direction. He had just noticed that in just a few months, Yugyeom had seemed to be about as tall as him, but his figure was still much slimmer. If he were in his wolf form right now, he might be about the same size as him. But his frame was still thicker.

Yugyeom frowned, not understanding. What is it that people really rush to come back to see? You can act like a petulant old man.

“Uncle, what's wrong with you? Oh!” His slender hand tried to touch the other person again, but this time Jinyoung didn't dodge or anything. The young tiger turned around and punched the shoulder until the white man fell to the ground. A pair of beautiful eyes widened in shock.

“Get out, I don't want to do anything to you.” Jinyoung transformed back into his human form, fearing that his claws would hurt him while still straddling the white person.

Yugyeom still doesn't understand. But it seemed like he started to understand a little when he scrunched up his nose and found that Jinyoung's body odor was different from every time.

“But..” The white man was still stubborn to stay until Jinyoung had to continue speaking.

“Or do you want me to do it to you?”

Yugyeom pursed his lips and immediately froze. Because the tone the other party used was not joking like usual.

Jinyoung thought that Yugyeom would give up, but he didn't. He looked at the white person who turned away as his white face began to fade. Yugyeom turned to meet Jinyoung's eyes again before nervously lowering his eyes.

"If..if it were Uncle, I would accept it.."

As if his sanity was severed, Jinyoung bent down and unexpectedly crushed the soft, fresh-colored lips of the younger one.

A rough hand turned the other person over to a crawling position on his knees while their mouths were still close together.

Yugyeom moaned softly every time the other person pounded himself until they finished together. There was only the sound of gasping for breath.

Yugyeom thought it might be over. But for a tiger in mating season like Jinyoung, it wasn't enough.

Jinyoung began to move again. Until Yugyeom couldn't stand it and the white kid started to struggle away. But the rough hands still gripped the white hips tightly like iron pliers. And when the other person still refused to stop struggling, Jinyoung instinctively bent down and bit the back of the other person's neck to make him stop struggling. This time, Yugyeom cried and let out a loud cry that he couldn't stand.

Jinyoung whispered into the other's ear.

“Jinyoung .. call my name.”

"Oh hey, I don't want it anymore."

“Call my name… When this round is over, I will let you go.”

“Ah, Brother J..Jin, hey, Jinyoung, ah.”

Jinyoung kissed the other man's temple in satisfaction before moving and thrusting hard a few times and releasing with a white body that had already passed out. He could only apologize to the other party in his heart before hugging his body and falling asleep.

Yugyeom moved when he felt uncomfortable. When he opened his eyes, he saw Jinyoung staring at him without blinking.

“Uncle, let go, this is uncomfortable.” Jinyoung complied easily, but his eyes still looked at his puppy without letting up.

“I'm hungry, Uncle. Let's go get something to eat.” Up until this point, Jinyoung was starting to feel annoyed. At least he was prepared that he might get a few scratches on his face and a few scars on his eyelids. But this white kid acted like nothing had happened at all.

“Uncle, come quickly!” Yugyeom urged again when he saw Jinyoung still sitting still.

A young tiger walked out of the cave and stood beside a white wolf that was about the same size but much thinner than a tiger like him. White fur that almost blends with the snow, what with those clear eyes?

“Oh, Uncle, don't lick!!” The wolf cried out as if a young tiger had suddenly licked his cheek.

“Hair is sticking out,” Jinyoung said without shame.

The snow has lightened a lot. It is a sign that a new season is about to enter.

Jinyoung didn't protest about their physical relationship that day. Including Yugyeom himself. Only Yugyeom begged him a little more than before.

And of course, BamBam will never know. Otherwise, Jinyoung would really have scars on his face.

When it comes to spring Animals began to return to their normal lives. And today, Jinyoung hunted two wild cows and prepared them for a pair of black and white wolf friends. But as the afternoon wore on, there was no sign of the two wolves. Until Jinyoung began to feel bad.

He decided to walk towards the forest boundary, looking blankly at the wolf side. But suddenly a strange sound called out to him.

Bang!!

Dozens of birds flew out from the sky in the Wolf Zone. Jinyoung's eyes widened and he rushed towards the wolf territory without thinking.

Jinyoung ran towards the scent and crouched silently when he caught the human scent. He saw a group of humans holding rifles. along with the bodies of 2-3 wolfs larger than normal lying on the ground panting heavily.

Jinyoung immediately started running to find the person he wanted to see the most.

I hope Yugyeom is safe.

The tiger ran faster and faster as its scent became clearer, before nearly colliding with a familiar black-and-red-furred wolf.

“Bam?”

"uncle ?"

“What about Yugyeom?” Jinyoung immediately asked.

“I separated from Yugyeom. I lured you to stay,” BamBam explained quickly. Jinyoung nodded.

“You hurry and go. Hurry and cross the stream to the north. Here, I will handle it myself.”

“But I told you..”

“Hurry up! I'll go look and see if Yugyeom agrees.” Jinyoung turned around and threatened him. When he heard other footsteps coming closer and closer

Bambam looked worried and troubled, but in the end he agreed to do as Jinyoung told him, urging him to find his friend and be careful.

Jinyoung started running again until he saw the faint shadow of a white wolf. Jinyoung smiled with relief and quickly picked up his pace.

Bang!

It was like the whole world suddenly stopped spinning.

The body of the white wolf fell in front of the bright red blood slowly spreading on the clean fur. Jinyoung froze, acting confused. Before that, another white wolf figure rushed towards the still corpse.

“Mother!!!”

Jinyoung's consciousness was pulled back again. Surprised, he rushed over and grabbed the white wolf by the back of his neck and dragged him out.

“Uncle Jinyoung!?”

“Uncle, release me, I will find Mother!!”

The white wolf resisted with all his might not to go with the young tiger.

“Do you want to die?”

"no ! But I will go back to Mother!!” Yugyeom now looked lost and stubborn to run back. Until Jinyoung had to bite the back of the other's neck and throw him to the ground, causing a moan of pain from the white wolf very well.

“Go back and get caught? Do you think your mother would be happy that her own child was caught?!” Jinyoung shouted until the wolf's ears fell back in fear.

“Trust me. That if your mother were still here she would tell you to run away.”

Yugyeom turned his head away before reluctantly ducking out from under the tiger's grasp. Jinyoung saw that the younger man had calmed down and continued to lead the way to escape from this human encroachment.

Bang!

The sound of gunfire rang out again. Yugyeom was startled and almost lost his balance. Jinyoung had to rush in and push the other person to continue running before he was overtaken.

“This way”

The pair emerged from the forest and emerged into a wide stream that had a waterfall cliff ending in it.

“Jinyoung hyung, what should we do next?” Yugyeom asked worriedly because the water was flowing very quickly. They were definitely unlikely to cross over. The sound of dozens of footsteps starting to get closer and closer.

“Brother Jin—“

Yugyeom gasped when a tiger suddenly grabbed him by the back of his neck and threw him into the raging stream. The two legs scrambled back and forth in shock.

Yugyeom could only think why. He really wanted to shout and ask the other party. But the water that filled his face and mouth prevented him from making any sound.

The sight of the tiger standing idly looking at him made Yugyeom madly upset. Yugyeom thought before he sank deeper into the water, losing consciousness.

“Just a little.” Yugyeom revived again at the edge of the waterfall pond. The white wolf's body was pitifully wet. He couldn't stop coughing out the liquid from his lungs.

secretly

Yugyeom's ears drooped again as he thought he was still immune from those cruel humans. But the body of the black-and-red wolf that appeared made the white wolf unable to help bursting into tears.

Bam quickly walked towards his friend before taking him up on the grass and snuggling with him as if comforting each other from this event. Yugyeom cries but there are no sobs. Only tears flowed silently.

He could only hope that it was all over.

Even though he was angry, Yugyeom secretly hoped that Jinyoung would be safe.

Years passed without any sign of the other wolves or even Jinyoung. Even though no one talked about that incident, it was still etched in Yugyeom's heart.

Yugyeom and Bam wandered around, they wouldn't stay for long until they were sure that the area was truly safe.

until it was seen that they had a fixed place to live Both Yugyeom and BamBam must learn to survive on their own. They had grown much bigger than before. If the elder wolves came to see them, they would definitely give them a big compliment. But now there were only the two of them left. Thinking like that, those beautiful eyes became noticeably sadder.

And one day while BamBam was hunting As for him, he went to the stream to find water to drink. The wolf's white ears twitched when he heard a strange sound not too far away. Out of curiosity, Yugyeom walked over to see the source of the sound.

He saw two humans. one person on shore Another person in the river looked not too old, probably in his teens.

Yugyeom looked at the human pair with blank eyes. and chose to ignore it before turning around

Cabinet!

The sound of something heavy falling on the surface of the water made Yugyeom turn around and look again. The humans struggling in the raging river looked in distress. The other human looked visibly shocked. Immediately let out a cry before quickly running away from there

Yugyeom thought it was still none of his business. But suddenly the image of him struggling in the water The day he was thrown into the water by a mean person replayed in his head.

Even though I know Jinyoung did it to help him. But he couldn't help but be angry.

Because if we're going to survive, we have to survive together.

Yugyeom frowned in displeasure before jumping into the water to help the human out. He grabbed the other man's shirt by the collar and dragged him to shore. He accidentally made eye contact with the other person for a moment before the other person passed out because too much water had entered his lungs.

Yugyeom transformed back into a human and stared at the unconscious man's face before smoothing the hair that was covering his face over his eyes, revealing two blemishes on his left eyelid. He lightly patted the other person's cheek to regain consciousness, but the sleeping person had no signs of recovering.

Yugyeom doesn't know what to do. He suddenly remembered the book Jinyoung had read to him. He pursed his lips in debate before bending down to press his mouth to blow air into the other's mouth.

He himself wasn't sure if he was doing the right thing. But the person lying there still didn't have any reaction. Yugyeom didn't even have time to bend down to do it again, so he hurriedly hid because his friend seemed to have returned with another elderly human who rushed towards the body lying motionless on the shore.

“Jaebeom, Jaebum, wake up.” The human who had disappeared at first slapped the other person's cheek like Yugyeom had done in the beginning. Before another new person acted like he was pressing down on the chest of an unconscious person. A few minutes later, the still figure woke up and sat up, coughing until he threw up. The two of them carried the wings of their wet bodies and stood up.

Yugyeom looked on silently. He looked at the newly recovered people who were turning left and right as if searching for something. Yugyeom didn't realize that he was being watched as well.

Yellow amber eyes that had looked at Yugyeom since he was a little wolf cub.

Yugyeom turned around as he began to feel strangely like he was being stared at. Before quickly transforming back into his wolf form, he ran away into the dense forest to safety.

When he saw that the white wolf had disappeared, Jinyoung's figure finally emerged from the dark corner. He sees everything, sees everything.

In fact, Jinyoung had secretly been taking care of the two wolves since that day. It's just that Bam and Yugyeom didn't realize it.

That day, he was the one who carried the white wolf by the neck from the waterfall to the edge of the ground, even though his body was injured.

And once again, Jinyoung found that Yugyeom probably hated him. Plus, recently Jinyoung still can't believe that Yugyeom accidentally bonded with that drowned boy. I don't know if his puppy knew what he had accidentally done.

Well, his puppy is so stubborn he's about to die.

Ah, not anymore.

So from now on, you can't call him his puppy.

Jinyoung sneered, feeling self-pity in his heart. Or was it time for him to let the two puppies, who were now able to fend for themselves, go? Personally, he went back to living his life alone as usual again.

Yes, because tigers don't live in packs.

Jinyoung is not suitable for living in a group at all. That's right.

He could only pray that one day it might be in this world or the next. He will meet Yugyeom again in the right place and at the right time.

The young tiger sneaked off to look at the two wolves late at night again for reassurance. Bam raised his head and looked around as the sleeping white wolf figure muttered softly to him.

“Did you hear a sound?” Yugyeom said in a sleepy voice even though his beautiful eyes were still closed.

"It's nothing. You go to sleep," Bam said before wrapping his tail around them and tucking them into bed.

Seeing this, Jinyoung could trust him for a moment. At least the kids are a lot older now and can take care of each other. Thinking like that, Jinyoung smiled with relief. Like this, he wouldn't have to worry anymore.

Perhaps fate had brought him to meet Yugyeom so that he could just walk over and send him off like this. Not someone who can walk side by side forever.

But Jinyoung still decided to keep watch over the two wolves for a bit longer until the early hours of the morning. The black wolf got up from the bed, probably hunting. He moved closer until he noticed that the white wolf was still sleeping with his eyes closed.

The young tiger walked in with utmost silence, staring at the other's beautiful face with a variety of emotions in his eyes before bending down to rest his forehead on the other's, snuggling gently back and forth.

Whispering words he had never told the other person against his lips.

Yugyeom opened his eyes when he felt a disturbing touch.

But he found only emptiness.

Leaving only a warm, familiar feeling.
