"Bring me the salt please"

The Omega almost purred as he called out for Jin who was in the kitchen. Jae-Hyun as compared to being in the packhouse was the most comfortable in this place.

He loved being alone, no doubt but with a person like Jin, who does all your work and doesn't even say anything, it was heaven all in one.

On the other hand, Jin had a shiver that went down his spine as he made his way out towards the Omega who was calling for him.

"BY THE WAY... CAN YOU GET ME A PHONE?"

Jae-Hyun yelled this time but kept eating his way.

To say he was chilled will be the least we can describe Jae-Hyun's state. He was way too comfortable here. And that didn't go unnoticed at all.

"U-Um-"

Just a hesitant hum and Jae-Hyun could still hear it from him. Normally, Jae-Hyun would never activate his senses but here, he knew the weak can't survive. If he didn't threaten Jin, Jin would've dominated him into things he doesn't want to do.

The Same goes for Chein as well.

Soon before Jin could step into the living room, a knock was heard from the front door that's just behind Jae-Hyun.

But something made Jae-Hyun uncomfortable. The scent. As soon as It hit his nostrils, a scowl escaped his mouth in response.

It was a scent that had him uncomfortable. It was strange yet alluring, but not as much to have Jae-Hyun at its fingertips.

He took a sniff again and concluded that it smells like cinnamon. But not the regular amount, it was heightened with scent boosters*.

(*a/n: perfume, you may assume)

Since he wasn't obliged to do chores in this household, he sat there with a blank face, slurping his ramen in.

After few seconds, he could see Jin stumbling as he came running to open the door. But as soon as the door opened, it revealed a lady. A lady that looked quite impressive yet wasn't interested.

She had long hair, ivory skin, and short stature.

"Jin. I thought I saw a-"

As soon as she saw Jae-Hyun, she stopped muttering and stood there eyeing him for a while. Her facial expressions soon turned into a frown and she turned to Jin, secretly questioning him.

"Who is he? What is he doing-"

Nothing could leave her mouth when the Omega stood up and bowed in front of her, greeting her with a hi.

"Hello, Miss. My name's Ning. Jeon Ning"

He introduced himself and smiled.

That not only shocked Jin who had his spatula on hold but also impressed the lady.

"I'm here with the sole motive to cooperate with Gumiho Chein on a hunt"

He stated with great effort and that seemed to ingrain the lady even more.

"Never thought Chein will become this productive"

She rolled her eyes but then as she handed her scarf to Jin, she smiled at Jae-Hyun, closing the distance a little and patting his head.

"My Name's Eun. Lee Eun"

The Jae-Hyun who was smiling just now went to a deeper level of happiness as he ended up showing her his eyes smile. And-

That's how she froze. As soon as he smiled with his eyes as well, Eun stopped patting his head and froze, staring at him. That smile was too familiar for her to process.

"Did something happened, Noona?"

The word itself held deep meaning for Eun. It was only her past lover who called her 'noona' so far.

"N-Nothing, Just you resemble someone" with words like these, he gets hurt enough.

She withdrew her hand slowly and smiled again. She didn't let her past haunt her. But that didn't last long as they talked further.

"So Ning. What are you?"

"I'm a werewolf. You Noona?"

She stood intact against Jae-Hyun's silhouette as she took in what he just stated.

Chein bringing a werewolf was not normal. At all.

"I'm a Gumiho"

"Found ya" It wasn't audible.

"What?"

"Nothing. Just found out something just now"

'I found someone special again'

Jimin just laid limp as he glanced at Jungkook who was getting ready.

For the said Alpha, he was captivated by the intricate patterns on his mate's back. Jungkook had his tattoos since the beginning but some were new. Some very interesting and-

some painful. Like the one on his spine, it was when Jae-Hyun was one year old and Jungkook celebrated his pup's first birthday by tattooing the phases of the moon, each one laced with beautiful iris flowers.

Not physical pain but emotional.

"You're doing that again"

Jungkook whispered out and Jimin was bewildered.

"What?"

"Crying"

Jimin noticed he was already in tears. Alpha or not, Jimin was glad Jungkook knew everything. Something that made him feel good or even better.

"We'll find Ning"

Jungkook and Jimin noticed something again.

Ning replaced his pup.
