hongjoong, seonghwa and yunho had 𝗮ll called in last minute to say they weren’t going to work as san sat on the couch. the house was full of alpha scent and one foot inside and any wolf could smell all the emotions going on.

once done, everyone joined san on the couch.

“so your mate is supposedly here right?” one of them asked him and again san nodded.

then there was a brief talk about how they all share the same mate. then the short alpha stood up and left to another room so san was left with the other two.

“don’t worry about hongjoong. he was the first one of us to find yeosang so he’s having a hard time processing this. i’m seonghwa and that’s yunho, nice to meet you san.”

“oh, i get it. i wasn’t expecting to share my mate either.”

a beat of silence before,

“do you think there’s more of us?” and before seonghwa or yunho could answer, a knock on the door interrupted them.

mingi had started learning how to be on the down low. he was naturally a very cautious person as he grew up in a village full of omegas. so he knew he had to be careful of his surroundings.

it was actually that after a good couple of days after he arrived that mingi had run into some wolf hunters.

he didn’t realize at first because with sparkling eyes he looked at the tall building and all the cars passing by. so he wasn’t aware of the heavy wolf scents until he accidentally crashed into one of the men.

“watch it kid.” the man snarled and mingi was about to growl, thinking the guy was a wolf with the way his scent was prominent but quickly realized the man was human. underneath the heavy wolf scent there was a very light natural scent of a human so mingi stopped the growl wanting to escape his lips.

“sorry sir.” the man didn’t say anything but eyed mingi with a look in his eyes that the younger couldn’t decipher.

then mingi bowed and started walking away. he was scared, had they somehow found out he was a wolf? he had to get away from them. but as he calmly walked away he could still smell them, were they following him?

then a hand was on his shoulder and mingi flinched.

“say kid, what are you doing out here alone? shouldn’t you be in school?”

“i was told to go back home since i’m not feeling the best.”

“why don’t we walk you home then?” mingi wanted to decline but the way the man stared at him said he had anything but a choice so reluctantly he agreed.

as they walked mingi tried picking up on any scents, maybe they could help him. so desperately he sniffed around, trying not the catch the men’s attention and then he did. so he walked around the corner and found the house he was looking for.

“i’m pretty sure someone’s home.” mingi said as he knocked.

“i forgot my keys.” he said sheepishly before any of the men could say anything. then the door opened and mingi looked at the slightly older man.

“hyung! sorry for showing up so unannounced.” mingi spoke and the guy was confused before it seems he caught onto the men.

“aish come in. we’ll talk about this later.” but before mingi could walk in, one man held onto him.

“you’re his brother?” and the other boy nodded. the man looked at the boy but the boy stared back and finally, the man let mingi go. once safely inside, the boy locked the doors and closed the curtains.

“are you okay?” the boy asked him and mingi nodded as he was directed to sit down. mingi also noticed there were more alphas around.

then he also picked up on some omega scents.

“is that, cherry blossoms?” and that caught the attention of the three alphas.

“hongjoong’s not gonna be happy.” said the alpha who answered the door.

“okay well, new addition to the pack. i’m seonghwa, that’s yunho and san. our pack alpha, hongjoong, is currently in another room but don’t worry about him. if he’s mean to you tell me.”

“i’m mingi, nice to meet you all.”

yeosang was coming back home with beomgyu, seungmin and yeonjun. he had to get to work right after so he was sort of pushing everyone to speed walk.

as they got closer he picked up on new scents.

mate!

mate!

mate!

okay, here we go again.

yeosang prepared himself and walked in with everyone behind him. when he did, he wasn’t expecting to be met with two new faces.

he neared them and the two immediately stood up.

“hi, i’m yeosang, very nice to meet you.”

“i’m san.”

“and i’m mingi.”

“i wasn’t expecting two people. it’s like those two for one specials at the store.” yeosang joked and everyone smiled.

“hyung, how many mates is that now? five?” seungmin whined behind him.

“where’s joongie hyung?” yeosang turned to seonghwa as the older pointed towards their room. he soon disappeared into the room.

about ten minutes later yeosang and hongjoong emerged from the room. yeosang in new clothes, dragging a grumpy hongjoong out.

“i’m going to work so everyone behave please. seungminnie you’re in charge.”

“and hongjoong, behave.” hongjoong reluctantly nodded as he went to sit in the living room with everyone else.

yeosang left a kiss on everyone’s (yes, everyone. he adores everyone so they deserve cheek kisses) cheeks before leaving.
