Chapter 5: Kitten Licks

Y/n rushes to close and lock the door before waiting for Jin to leave. Hearing his retreating footsteps, Y/n lets out a frazzled “Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. What was that? Why did I do that?”

Deciding she can’t wait for tomorrow to debrief with Michi, Y/n looks at the time to see it’s 10:30 pm. Knowing Michi is likely asleep by now but needing to desperately talk to somebody, she pulls out her phone and calls her.

After a few rings Y/n goes to press the end call button, but is stopped by the phone picking up with the drowsy sound of her friend’s voice, “...Hello?”

Relieved her friend answered, Y/n splutters out, “Oh my god, Michi I’m so sorry for waking you up but I need to talk to someone. I just got back from my date with Jin and I don’t know what happened, but we kissed and I felt weird and- ”

Now a little more alert, Michi halts Y/n’s rambling for once, “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you okay? Take a deep breath and start from the beginning.”

Y/n takes her friend’s suggestion and takes a deep breath to calm herself before she recalls the night's events to her, “Everything was going fine. He took me to his house and made dinner for us while we talked and stuff. Then we went to watch tv… I don’t know when it happened or how, but I ended up kind of cuddling him on the couch then falling asleep on him. I don’t know, he just felt so comfortable…”

Humming in understanding through the phone, Michi pushes forward, “Okay, so where does this kiss come in?”

Y/n scrunches her eyebrows in a pensive expression, “Well when he dropped me off at my place, he walked me to my door. Before we said our goodbyes… I don’t know… he was just so tall and warm and his lips looked so nice…something in me almost wouldn’t let me stop myself. Before I knew it, I kissed him…”

Thinking over what her friend just described, Michi remembers something and tells Y/n about it, “Remember they said you’d feel the effects of the bond, even if it was just a little bit. Maybe that was it.”

The bond? Y/n didn’t think she’d feel anything because she doesn’t have the Lycan gene, but there is very little data on human fated mates, so who knows how accurate some information is. It certainly would explain the light and fuzzy feeling she got after the kiss. Even with guys she’s kissed in the past, it never felt like that. “I-I think you’re right… I’ve never felt something like that before. Not just from a kiss.”

Glad her friend has calmed down and started processing things, Michi asks teasingly, “Mhm, so I’m guessing he kissed you back.”

Y/n giggles at her friend's jestful remark, “Yes, he did… If he didn’t I'm sure I would have died from embarrassment."

Both women laugh at that before Y/n inserts, “Thanks for answering Michi. I know I woke you up with my harem drama, so I’ll let you get back to sleep. I still need to get ready for bed too.”

With that, both women bid each other goodnight and hang up the phone, then Y/n makes her way to her room to do her nightly routine. Before she goes to sleep, Y/n glances at the still empty deodorant can on her dresser and reminds herself to call her mom in the morning.

Laying down in her bed, Y/n falls asleep reminiscing on the amazing night she had with Jin.

-

Waking up to the sun shining through her blinds and the blaring sound of her alarm clock, Y/n stretched and started getting ready for work.

While she gets dressed, she pulls out her phone to call her mom then puts it on speaker phone. The phone rings several times before the call is sent to voicemail, “Hm, she must already be working.”

Y/n’s mom is no stranger to early risings and late stays when it comes to her job. Her mom is a leading researcher for a pharmaceuticals company catering specifically to human biologies. Growing up with a mom that is very passionate about her job comes with knowing she typically has to work around her mom’s schedule to do anything with her. Knowing her mom will call back eventually, Y/n finishes getting ready for work and starts her journey to the workplace.

When Y/n gets to her office she is surprised to see yet another iced americano from the same place on her desk. Even the initials are the same as yesterday. Smiling while she takes a sip of the refreshing drink, she pulls out her phone to message Yoongi:

Y/n: Is this gonna be an everyday occurrence?

A few seconds later he responds:

Yoongi: Yes. Is that a problem?

Yoongi really can be aloof at times, but something tells Y/n there’s more to him than what she’s seeing. If he didn’t like her he wouldn’t have helped her that night or bothered getting her coffee; he doesn't seem like the type to do things for no reason.

Y/n: No problem, just wanted to know if I should expect to keep seeing them. Thank you so much for getting them for me…

Yoongi’s chat bubble starts typing and stops typing a few times, before he eventually sends Y/n a message:

Yoongi: Do you like animals?

A little thrown off by the sudden subject change, Y/n responds:

Y/n: Yeah, I love them! Why?

He goes back to his start and stop pattern again before sending:

Yoongi: Well if you’re not busy this evening after work, want to go to an animal shelter and see the animals there?

Y/n pauses at this. Is the aloof and menacing Min Yoongi asking her on a date to an animal shelter? She certainly hadn’t expected him to say that. Now excited at the prospect, she responds:

Y/n: I’d absolutely love to.

Yoongi: Okay, meet me in the parking garage when you get done with work.

At that, Y/n thinks back to the car situation with Jin from yesterday. Not wanting to possibly make the same mistakes, she inquires:

Y/n: What car should I look out for?

Yoongi: No car, we’re walking. It’s not far from here. And we’ll take a hidden exit from the garage, so don’t worry about being seen.

Putting Y/n’s mind at ease with his answers she responds:

Y/n: Sounds great, I’ll let you know when I’m headed to the garage.

Thinking some more about her previous blunders with Jin, she also sets an alarm for the end of day, so she won’t be late this time. While she does that she hears a knock come from her door. Calling for the person to enter, she’s greeted by the two familiar faces of Michi and Ms. Choi.

With a smile Ms. Choi says, “Good morning Y/n! You’ve got visitors!”

Michi comes in as well with a pointed look at Y/n that says “I’m not sure why she’s here”

Brushing it off Y/n responds politely, “Ms. Choi, how can I help you?”

Ms. Choi makes a show of looking at Y/n’s coffee then to Y/n before she wiggles her eyebrows suggestively, “I’ve noticed someone’s gotten you coffee two days in a row? Is there a boyfriend you've been hiding from us?”

Y/n glances at Michi to see her slightly shocked expression. She definitely can’t tell Ms. Choi about her…relations with their CEOs. She needs to come up with something. Maybe she can just be vague about it.

Chuckling nervously she responds, “Something like that…More like a potential suitor, nothing serious…”

Nodding her head in understanding Ms. Choi exclaims, “That’s so sweet! Don’t be too hard on him, if your work ethic is any indication of your personal life, I’m sure he must have some high expectations to meet.”

Michi giggles at that before Y/n cuts her off with a curt glare, “He’s doing okay so far…”

Ms. Choi beams at that, “Well if he does well enough, I look forward to meeting him at next year’s Gala!”

With that, the women fall into a small conversation about company updates before Ms. Choi announces her departure, leaving Michi and Y/n to their own devices.

With a teasing lilt Michi makes her way closer to Y/n, “Yeah I sure hope to see him at the Gala next year too!”

Y/n rolls her eyes at this, “Michi what did you come here for?”

“To check on my dear friend of course! I know you seemed better when we got off the phone but how are you feeling? I mean, it seems like you just felt the bond for the first time. I know it has to be a bit to process.”

Y/n let’s out an exasperated huff, “Yeah, I’m fine now. I guess it just really startled me and kinda creeped me out? I don’t know, at the moment I kind of felt helpless to the bond. Like I faltered for just a second, and it took over. I know that if I really didn’t want to, I could pull away but it scared me how easy it was not too…”

Michi nods her head in understanding, “Well I think that really hinges on your feelings about them? Do you like them?”

Y/n thinks about this for a second. She hasn’t gone on dates with all of them yet but from messages and the few meetings they’ve had, Y/n realizes her feelings towards them has grown a little more from just finding them attractive. She finds herself almost longing for their presence at times. ”Yeah… I do…”

“Then it sounds to me like the bond is just giving you a push, not controlling you. You said “if” you really wanted to pull away… But did you want to?”

Shy at Michi’s direct question, Y/n mumbles, “No… I didn’t…”

Michi smiles softly, “See? Then all you have to do is let yourself enjoy them and the bond you guys have together. You can’t control everything. It's okay to let go.”

Y/n sighs with exasperation as she buries her face in her hands, “I know you’re right, it’s just…new. I’m sure at some point it’ll become normal.”

Michi hums in agreement before she speaks with a clap of her hand, “You’re gonna be just fine! When’s your next date?”

Remembering her date with Yoongi, Y/n perks up with a smile, “This evening. Yoongi actually asked me to go to an animal shelter with him.”

“Oh? I didn’t take Mr. Serious as a pet person. That sounds so cute!”

“Yeah me neither, but I’m really looking forward to it.” Just then Y/n’s phone rings. With a confused expression she reads Hoseok’s name then tells Michi about it.

“Well, don’t let me stop you from answering your harem! I’ll see myself out.” Michi says with a sly smirk before she heads to the door and leaves.

Y/n shakes her head at her friend before she picks up the phone, “Hi Hoseok.”

“Hello, beautiful mate… I hope this isn’t a bad time.” he says with a clear grin in his voice.

“No it’s okay, I’m just getting my day started. Why?” she asks.

“Mm, well I wanted to know if I’d be seeing you on the roof for lunch today?”

Teasingly, she quips, “Depends… Will we be picking up where we left off?”

She hears a low chuckle come through the receiver before he speaks, “We wouldn’t have to if you didn’t leave last time...”

“What can I say? I had to work. But if you really want to see me, I guess I could stop by for a bit…” she trails off with a slight flush to her face.

“Well then… I’ll be waiting.”

“See you then.” She says a little breathless with anticipation before hanging up her phone.

The hours drone on at what feels like a snail's pace. After countless glances at the clock, she finally finds a groove with her work and thoughts of the men fade to the background of her mind.

Eventually, the time comes, indicated with the chime of her phone alarm.

Y/n grabs her things and embarks to the rooftop. Upon her arrival, she’s confused because she doesn’t see Hoseok at any of the tables up there. Thinking she probably got there early, she walks towards the cherry red table they sat at last time, but is halted when she sees something out of the corner of her eye.

When she turns her head to the right, she sees Hoseok laying down on a patch of fake grass near the small corner, slightly hidden from view around the door she entered. Heading towards him with a smile, she says “Hey stranger.”

He sits up at her voice and beams his sunshine smile at her, as if the sun wasn’t enough. Reaching the patch of grass, Hoseoks stays seated so she sits next to him with her legs extended.

“Well this is new. I didn’t even notice this corner being here yesterday.”

“Yeah, it’s my little corner. I like to lay down here and cloudgaze sometimes.” While talking he gives Y/n a once over before stopping at her thighs. They’re slightly more visible from her skirt riding up when she sat down. Without thinking, he faces his back to her then lays down with his head on her left thigh. This startles Y/n but she can’t hide the fact that she’s content from him being so comfortable with her.

She was thankful she brought a sandwich for lunch, because she couldn’t help but let her idle left hand fall to his hair as she started combing her fingers through his beautiful locks.

A few strokes in and she feels a small vibration come from him, which she can only assume is an indicator of his contentment.

What she doesn’t know is that rumble also hides his slight arousal with how warm and close he is to her core. He can’t help but think about how perfect she is. How thick and soft her hips and thighs are. He can only imagine how it might feel to be between them.

Startling him out of his thoughts, Y/n inquires, “How come there are picnic tables up here but I’ve never seen or heard of anyone coming up here?”

He turns his head on her thigh to look up at her beautiful features looming over him, “Because, no one but the pack knows this is up here. When we first got the building, I told the pack I wanted a place where only we could go to get a break from work. Some of them agreed, others were indifferent, but they all agreed that if I chose a place, I could decorate it however I wanted.”

Y/n nods with understanding, before scrunching her nose in confusion, “Mm, so that’s why its card access only… But wait, I’m not pack.”

This makes him smile wide, “Not yet, but that doesn’t really matter when you’re our mate. What’s ours is yours, Jagi.”

Y/n isn’t sure how she feels about his last sentence. She doesn’t want to use them for money or any kind of perks with the company. Sure it’s just roof access, but what’s next? A promotion to be closer to them? Just sneaking off to the roof could be troublesome if someone on her floor were to ask where she’s been going on her break.

Hoseok notices her pause and pushes forward, “Everything okay?”

Y/n decides to brush off her concerns for a later date. There are no problems right now, so there’s no use conjuring up scenarios. “Yeah, just thinking. How often do you guys use this place?”

“Not sure honestly. During the day everyone's schedules can be so different. Sometimes I come here alone, other times I’m here with Yoongi or Jungkook. Yoongi comes here for a small break from his office, Kook comes to run around and exert pent up energy. He’s not the best at being super stationary all day.” he trails off giggling.

“You guys seem to have nicknames for each other. What was yours again? Hob something?”

This elicits a boisterous laugh from him, causing him to sit up and look at her, “Yeah, they call me Hobi!”

“That's cute… maybe I should start using a nickname with you…” she trails off with a smirk.

“You can call me Hobi… but of course, there’s always Oppa.” he looks at her eyes heatedly.

“Is that right?” With a slight pout, she looks up at him through her lashes seductively, “What about both… Hobi Oppa…?”

Between her beautiful legs and her eyes that look like sin incarnate, he was already doomed. But then he smells the slight syrupy sweetness of her arousal start to blossom and he can barely control himself. He moves closer to her face and kisses her furiously. Soon her body relaxes and gives into him, allowing his tongue to intertwine with hers. It’s a sloppy kiss, full of heat and pent up desire.

They pull back for a moment and Y/n looks up to Hoseok breathless before he teases, “Why do you insist on teasing me, little mate?” Before she could even think to respond he's laying her down on the grass. He grabs her chin softly and moves her face slightly away from him so he can get a clear view of her neck. He wastes no time licking a long stripe up the clear expanse before he begins lightly sucking on her skin, scenting her. He knows humans don’t have scent glands on their neck but the intimacy of the action is still there. He certainly can tell his mate is enjoying herself with the small moans he elicits from her and the thick scent of her arousal that he’s quickly losing himself to.

Wanting to get more of her scent on him, he puts a hand on her thigh and slides it up her skirt slowly, giving back some of the teasing she’s been giving him since they've met. Y/n is taken back to that dream again; the hot feeling of her body and a hand moving along her thigh, waiting desperately for relief. And similar to the dream, he stops just as he reaches her clothed core, but this time he touches her. Pulling away from her neck and his hand firmly cupping her pussy, he speaks, “I’m not going any further until you beg me to.” With that, his hand stays still before he goes back to licking and sucking on her neck again, careful to not leave marks.

She doesn't want to give into him but she can’t hold back her moans and groans in frustration. Soon he begins palming her in small circles, slowly wetting her panties and his hand in her arousal. With labored breaths Y/n finally gives in “P-please…”

He pulls away from her neck once more but continues his assault on her lower half while he speaks with a dark timbre, “Please what? And tell me what you want from me.”

Feeling a small prickle of tears at the corner of her eye from his teasing, she begs, ”Please oppa, use your fingers on me…”

With a satisfied hum, he goes back to licking her neck, moving to her collarbone as he slowly moves her panties to the side, finally making contact with her wet folds. Instinctively, Y/n spreads her legs more for him to get better access, and she hears a dark chuckle from him. She opens her eyes to see his delighted grin with her quivering body underneath him.

She can’t help but get even more aroused at the sight of him on top of her, and Hoseok can certainly tell. He finally pushes his middle finger into her wetness, making her eyes roll in ecstasy at finally having something inside her. Loving the glossy look in her eyes, he pumps it in and out of her a few times before caressing her walls to feel around for the right spot. He’s alerted to the right place inside her with her sharp squeal, “Oppa, please more…”

At first he wanted to tease her but gazing upon her in this sensitive state, he wants nothing more than to give his mate everything she could ever want. He pulls his finger out causing her to whimper from the extraction, but he swiftly replaces it with both his middle and ring finger. Plunging deep into her wetness, he curls his fingers inside her, moving against that sensitive spot that causes her to make the pretty sounds he can't get enough of.

Knowing there's no one to hear their rooftop romp, Y/n doesn’t hold back when she feels her high rapidly approaching, “Oh my god, oppa right there… I’m so close, please.”

Excited at the prospect of tasting his mates cum on his fingers, he takes his other free hand and rubs small circles on her clit in conjunction to fingering her. This is more than enough to send her over the edge as he watches her whole body tense and her face scrunch up in pleasure. She lets out a long high pitched squeal, slightly hoarse from all her moaning. Feeling her walls start to contract around his fingers, he gets lost in the thought of how her tight wet walls would feel around his cock.

Coming back to the moment he slows his movements as he watches her body relax from the orgasm now ebbing away. Her pussy still spasms on his fingers and he wants to relish the feeling but he pulls them out instead to look and admire his hand, glistening in her arousal.

Her syrupy sweetness drives him to lick up all her wetness from his hand. He hums in contentment, “So sweet…” He makes a mental note to get the taste straight from the source next time, before he pulls out a napkin from his pocket to begin cleaning her up.

Y/n lays there dazed, trying to catch her breath while he cleans her sensitive folds, whimpering at the contact.

When he’s done he throws the napkin away before coming back to her and placing her in his lap to hold her, “You came so much for me. Did you like it?”

She silently nods before asking, “In the beginning, were you… scenting me?”

Surprised she caught it he confirms, “Yes. I know since you’re a human it doesn’t do much, except for maybe deter some wolves, but I just needed you to have my scent. Thank you for letting me.”

She thinks some more about what he says before shyly inquiring again, “I-is it possible for me to scent you? Since I'm human.”

He chuckles at her flustered expression but still answers, “Yeah you can, it just doesn't carry your pheromones as strongly. It's more like scent swapping rather than actual scenting because neither of us will get the effects of it.”

Y/n silently nods her head again. They sit there in each other’s embrace for a bit before both their phone’s go off; Hoseok’s with a phone call and Y/n’s with her end of lunch alarm.

Jolted by the sounds, the both look at each other with longing expressions, before Y/n speaks, “Our time is up I guess.”

They lean in for a soft kiss, one that's slow; an “until next time”.

They both pull apart and grab each other's respective phones before standing up and straightening themselves out. He waves her goodbye then walks a few paces away to take his phone call.

In the privacy of the elevator Y/n’s thoughts can’t stop thinking about their heated session. If the rest of his pack are anything like him, she doesn’t know how she’ll cope.

After a quick trip to the bathroom to make sure she looks presentable, she goes back to her office and starts back up on her work.

-

Hours later while Y/n wraps up her work, her alarm goes off and it brings a smile to her face. The day is finally over and her date with Yoongi is an elevator ride away. When she turns the alarm on her phone off, she gets a message from Michi,

Michi: Don’t forget your date with Mr. Serious! I have to stay late so I won’t be there to send you off :p

Chuckling at her friend’s message she sends a simple “thanks Chich” before grabbing her things and heading to the elevator.

When she gets down to the garage she looks around but doesn’t see any signs of Yoongi. He said there was a secret exit but she doesn’t know where that is either. Face scrunched in thought, she pulls out her phone to text him:

Y/n: Hey, I’m in the garage where are you?

Before she can even put her phone away, she’s startled by a light tap on her shoulder.

Yelping in surprise, she whips around to see a nearly expressionless Yoongi. Expressionless except for him trying to bite back a laugh at her reaction.

With mock upset, she scolds, “That’s not funny! You nearly gave me a heart attack! Where did you even come from?”

With a shrug he points to a nondescript hallway next to the elevator, obscured by the fire escape stairs behind them, “You said to be discreet, so I was over there waiting.”

“Do you typically lurk around corners waiting to pounce on unsuspecting women, or am I the only one?” she says with her hands on her hips.

He smirks, “Nope, just you.”

She rolls her eyes at him, “Right, so where is this shelter exactly? I didn’t know there was anything like that within walking distance from here.”

He hums as if he forgot the whole reason for their meeting, “Mm, it’s actually on this same block but on the opposite side.” he glances down at his watch, “And we should get going, because they close in about an hour and a half.”

She nods in understanding and they take off down the same obscured hallway he was waiting for her in. She’s surprised she never noticed it being there, but sure enough at the end of it there’s an exit that spits you out in an alleyway between the buildings on the block.

As they embark Yoongi keeps stealing glances at her. The sun is starting to set with golden hour upon them and the sun partially shines through the alley. Her dark skin shines and glows with the sun's rays on her, creating an amber undertone, reminiscent of honey. God, not only does she smell like it but she can look like it too? If they don’t start talking he’s sure all he’ll do is stare at her, so he embarks, “You said you like animals. Which ones are your favourite?”

She thinks for a moment before responding, “I love regular pets like cats, dogs, and bunnies but I’m also really fond of more unique animals like snakes and foxes.”

He raises his eyebrows at that incredulous, “Snakes? You’ve got to be some type of insane to like those things.”

“Well what animals do you like?” she scoffs.

He chuckles at her reaction, letting his gummy smile show through for just a second. Y/n almost stopped in her tracks. She’d never seen him smile before, there was a reason Michi calls him Mr. Serious. It was small and fleeting, but Y/n wanted to see him smile again.

“I like cats.” He simply answered.

“Huh, interesting…”

He glances over to her, “What’s so interesting about it?”

“You’re a wolf but you like cats? How does that work?”

He explains how even though they're humans with wolf genetics, most animals still perceive them as human due to the fundamental differences between human and animal pheromones.

Nodding in understanding, she quips, “I just wanted to make sure you wouldn’t scare the cats.”

He stops walking for a second, causing her to as well. Looking at her with a smug grin, he moves a little closer to her and says darkly, “The cats will be fine…Maybe it’s you who’s scared of the big bad wolf.”

Y/n feels the heat rise to her face with his low voice and close proximity. His voice is deep and sexy, she wonders what it might sound like whispering dirty things in her ear.

As if he could read her thoughts he moves even closer and takes a deep inhale of her aroused scent, before smirking at her, “Don’t get too excited.”

He backs away and nods his head towards the rest of the alley before they start walking again.

This man is most definitely trying to kill her, she just can’t prove it.

They reach the end of the long alley and are finally on the opposite side of the block. Yoongi motions to take a left and they keep walking. Wanting to know more about him and this shelter, Y/n asks, “So how do you know about this place?”

“I was walking around to clear my head one day and stumbled across it. Now, I come here every now and then to see a specific cat.”

This surprises her. So he really does have a soft side under that guarded exterior, and it seems to be reserved for a cat, “Why don’t you take the cat home then?”

Yoongi thinks on this for a second, “I don't know. I never thought about adopting myself, it kinda seems like a lot of work. Pets are responsibilities. Just because I like the cat doesn’t necessarily mean I want everything that comes with that.”

She nods in understanding at his explanation. He probably has more than his fair share of responsibilities being a CEO of a multibillion dollar company. Maybe the shelter is just his little get away from it all.

A few doors down they stop in front of a baby blue shop with a white sign that simply reads “Shelter and Grooming”. He holds the door open for her to walk in. Entering behind her, they are greeted by a young woman working in the lobby, “Hi welcome i- Oh, Mr. Min!” she pauses upon seeing Y/n. “...And friend…Good to see you! F-feel free to head to the back.” The woman’s expression took a clear dive when seeing Y/n and she has no doubt in her mind that the girl likes Yoongi.

Giving a tight smile and curt nod to the girl, he leads Y/n to a red door towards the back that reads “Shelter”. Not knowing what to expect, she’s shocked to see a large back room with yellow walls encompassing a vast array of kennels and gate compartments. The left side seems to have dogs only and the right side has cats. Lining the walls on both sides are large individual kennels and going towards the center of the room are lines of gate compartments holding multiple of them. It creates a kind of a maze trail to walk through so you can see all the animals.

With the woman from a few seconds ago forgotten, Y/n gets excited at seeing all the animals, “Oh my gosh, they have so many. This place doesn’t look nearly as big from the outside!” Yoongi remembers thinking the same thing when he first found the place. He watches as she becomes engrossed, starting on the side with the dogs. She points out all the ones she thinks are cute and even gives some of them goofy names like the Beagle puppy they came across, now named Bagel.

Wanting to get to know her more as they’re walking, he asks, “Did you ever have pets growing up?”

She shakes her head then chuckles, “No, both my parents are allergic to pet dander, so the most I ever had was like a gold fish when I was 7, which did not last long.”

Humming in acknowledgment, he moves on, “Well would you get a pet now? I’m assuming you live alone.”

She stops at that, “Huh. I never thought about it but yeah I totally could. Pets are like one of those things you never really think about until you do stuff pertaining to it. I’ve never been to a place like this so I guess it never crossed my mind.”

He agrees with a nod and they keep watching. He watches her as she flits around the dogs some more before they reach a specific kennel holding a rather aggressive Shitzu. Y/n is taken back because the dog seems to only have a vendetta towards Yoongi. She looks at him giggling with the dog growling in the background, “Geez, what did you do to the dog Yoongi?”

He rolls his eyes in exasperation, “Nothing. This dog does this to me everytime. Remember how I said animals view Lycans as more human? Well smaller dogs are a little sensitive.They tend to react more to our wolf sides, which is why most of the small ones are in kennels. She probably registers me being an Alpha and my size as a threat.”

Y/n looks around at the other kennels and sure enough, they are mostly inhabited with small dogs. There’s so many intricacies to Wolf and animal biologies she had no idea about.

Noticing the dog isn’t backing down Yoongi inserts, “She’ll start barking soon if I don’t step away so I’m gonna go around to the cat side. I’ll be right across the room.”

Looking at the dog getting rowdier by the second, she agrees, “Yeah that seems best, I’ll be over there in a bit.” He gives her a small smile then walks towards the cat area, she’s nearly through seeing all the dogs so she keeps moving along.

While she stops to fawn over a litter of brown labs she’s approached by a young man, seemingly around her age. He’s wearing the shop's work uniform, indicating he’s an employee. He smiles at her before asking, “Finding everything okay?”

She nods her head, “Yeah, all good. Just looking around.”

She moves onto the next gate compartment thinking the interaction would stop there but is slightly surprised to see him move with her before asking a follow up question, “Is this your first time here? I feel like I’d remember seeing a beautiful woman like you.”

Not knowing how to respond she giggles nervously, “Yeah…It’s my first time. I’m here with…” she glances over to Yoongi. What are they exactly? Yeah they’re mates but she can’t just tell this guy that. “...my friend.”

He perks up at that and gives her a wide smile, “So… you’re single?”

Not liking where this conversation is headed she tries to put some words of rejection together, “Well, I-”

He cuts her off and moves closer, now looming over her, “If he’s your boyfriend then he should be here to own up to it. Don't you think? I could certainly do better.”

Yoongi watches the interaction from some feet away, now that she’s closer to his side. Through the noise of the animals he picks up on the gist of their conversation and he is instantly on alert. Seeing her increasing anxiety through her body language he starts to get a bit riled up and he starts moving towards her. Seeing the guy get closer to his mate with that shit eating grin on his face effectively makes his Alpha front. How dare this weak human try to take his mate from him?

Closing in on them with glowing red eyes that could slice through the man, he stands behind her with a look of pure disdain. The man pauses to glance at Yoongi for a second and stiffens. Y/n isn’t sure what's going on until she feels a warmth on her back that instinctually makes her relax. It’s Yoongi.

Smelling the burnt sugar tinging his mate's scent, he growls and puts his hand on the small of her back possessively, “Is there a problem here?”

While Yoongi is shorter than the man, the pure Alpha energy he emits is not lost on the employee, regardless of if his eyes are glowing or not. The colour drains from his face as he takes a step away from the couple and clears his throat, “M-my apologies. There's no problem. I was just asking if she needed any help.”

Moving his hand from her back to wrap around the side of her hip, he pulls her into him slightly, “We’re good.”

Y/n watches the exchange but can’t help but be a little flustered at his blatant assertion of dominance. So this is Yoongi’s Alpha on display. She thought he was domineering already but this is on a new level.

Now embarrassed and scared at the situation, the employee supplies in a practiced tone, “Well, just let us know if you guys need anything.” before he swiftly retreats out of the viewing area.

Calming down, Y/n turns around to see Yoongi and his glowing red eyes. Yoongi scours her face tentatively, “Are you okay? I watched and heard most of it but he didn’t touch you, right?”

She shakes her head and gives him a soft smile, “No he didn’t, I’m okay. Thanks for helping me.”

He hums and nods his head. Reassured of his mate's safety and the neutralized threat, his eyes return back to the deep mocha color she’s used to seeing, “We can leave if you’d like. We can walk back to the building and I can take you home.”

Y/n goes to protest but is stopped when she sees a black cat peak around from behind Yoongi. Spirits already lifting, she crouches to the ground and coaxes it, “Well hello there! Where’d you come from?”

Yoongi looks to the side of him and smiles at the sight of the two interacting. He chuckles, “Ah, this is the cat I was telling you about earlier. Everytime I come, he makes his way out of the gates and follows me around until I leave. I guess today is no different.”

She looks up at him and giggles before teasing, “And you really don’t want to take him home? I don't know…since you mentioned me getting a pet, maybe I should snatch him up…”

He puts on a small pout at this, “Well if you do, can I come see him?”

Y/n thinks with exaggeration before continuing, “I don’t know, maybe I want to keep him all to myself. Who said I want you to know where I live?”

Yoongi rolls his eyes at her teasing, “I can retrieve that information from work quite easily, princess.”

Not actually wanting to keep the cat away from him, she offers,“Okay…well what if we like, co-parent it?”

“Co-parent?”

Picking the cat up, she stands up straight and caresses it, “Yeah, like let’s say every two weeks we switch off having him and split the costs of his living expenses. Plus this way the responsibility won’t fall solely on you.”

He contemplates this for a few seconds. Watching her play with his favourite cat warms his heart. He loves how cute and sweet she is towards him, and it will give them a reason to see each other regularly. A wide grin spreads across his face at that and Y/n is inwardly melting from his cute smile.

He agrees, “Alright, we’ll co-parent him and switch off every two weeks. My only condition is that he starts at my place first.”

She squeals in excitement and nuzzles the cat, “Looks like you’re coming home with us little-” she pauses before realizing, “Wait, we don’t even have a name for him.”

Yoongi makes a pensive face while brainstorming a name for the cat. They throw out a few different names but nothing really seems to fit. Just then he catches a whiff of Y/n’s sweet and content scent, a stark and welcome contrast from her burnt sugar from earlier. Just then, he gets an idea, “What about Seoltang?”

“Sugar? Hmm… and we can call him Tang or Tangie for short!” she exclaims with a bright expression.

“Yeah, I like it. That works.” he nods in agreement.

She holds the cat out away from her, making its torso and legs dangle adorably, “We now dub thee as Seoltang.”

Chuckling at her antics, he shakes his head, “Come on princess, this place is going to close soon and we need to go buy supplies after this.”

Holding the cat to her chest like normal, she nods and they embark to the lobby to sign papers and receive informative guides and pamphlets to take care of cats.

Thankfully, neither the young man or woman they’ve both interacted with are there to check them out. Hopefully they both got the message.

Leaving with a carrying crate and a bag of information, the head back to the parking garage.

Once they reach the garage, he tells Y/n to wait there while he goes to get his car. Soon he pulls up in yet another luxurious looking black BMW, similar to Jin’s. These guys and their expensive cars.

After Yoongi sits the carrier in the back seat safely, they get into the car and begin driving, “Where are we going to get supplies exactly? I don't know how I feel about going to a market with The Min Yoongi.” She tries to hide her concern with humor but Yoongi is observant and always two steps ahead.

“Don’t worry, I put in an order online at a pet store on the way to my house. They’ll have someone help bring them to the car and load it so you won't be seen.” he reassures her.

And just as he said, when they arrived he went inside and a few minutes later emerged with an employee with a cart with supplies ranging from an automatic litter box to scratching posts and beds.

Once everything is loaded up, Yoongi gets back in the car and continues their journey to his home. While they're driving she asks him, “So what made you come up with Seoltang for a name?”

He glances at her with a smirk, “Because he is sweet…just like your scent.”

Y/n heats up at his words, “M-my scent? What do you mean?” thinking about how she hasn’t used deodorant in a few days, she gets embarrassed, “I certainly don’t smell sweet right now.”

He chuckles and shakes his head, “Oh princess, you don’t know just how sweet you are. You smell like pure honey.”’

Taken aback by the revelation, she’s surprised, “Honey? I mean I know wolves have a different way of perceiving scents, but I’ve never been told I smell like honey… I-is that good?”

He can tell the conversation is flustering her, making her squirm next to him, so he decides to push it a little more. With his left hand gripping the steering wheel, he places his right hand on her knee and slowly moves it to firmly grip her thigh, “Yes. It’s very good actually. I’ve even heard that when you’re turned on you smell like syrup…”

“W-wait, so when I…get um… aroused… y-you can smell it?”

He caresses her thigh with his thumb, “Yep.”

Flustered from his touch, Y/n thinks she’ll die from embarrassment. She won’t be able to hide anything from these men.

Noticing her embarrassment, he decides to give her a break, “Your scent can tell us a lot about your emotions. Like earlier with that guy at the shelter, when I got closer to see what was going on, I could smell your distress from the situation.”

This piques her interest, “What did I smell like then?”

Scrunching his nose up at the memory of the situation, he mumbles, “Burnt sugar. And not the creme brulee type…”

Seeing how upset the memory is making him, she apologizes, “I’m sorry to have put off such a smell then.”

He tries to back track, not wanting her to feel guilty, “No, no. Scents are… complicated. Just because the scent has negative connotations doesn’t mean it’s a bad smell necessarily. It’s more about how our designations interpret them. You're my mate, so even if the sugar is a little burnt, I still like it but it enrages my Alpha.”

This did make her feel a little better about it, but she still wonders if there’s a way to hide or mask her scent from them. If all they have to do is smell her to get a read on her, it feels like all her vulnerabilities are on display for them. Will she get used to it? It feels like she has no choice in the matter.

Y/n is taken out of her spiral with a couple light taps to her thigh as she notices they’ve arrived at Yoongi’s house. The house is modern but has a few features with traditional charm to it. After unloading the car and setting up Tang’s designated areas, both the cat and Y/n take in their surroundings.

Yoongi’s house certainly feels like him. Minimalist and efficient to the core, everything has a purpose. The neutral colours give off an air of sophistication, just like its aloof owner.

Making their way towards the kitchen, Tang in tow, Yoongi offers, “I have some leftover bulgogi and a few bonchon from dinner last night. I’m going to start getting it ready. Do you mind getting Tang’s food together as well? I put the cans in the pantry. Washing his hands in preparation, he nudged to an area between the open plan kitchen and living room where he sat down a mat and two bowls that say “water” and “food” respectively. Chuckling at how efficiency doesn’t stop with the cat, she agrees and begins getting Tang’s things together.

Once she’s done, her ringtone cuts through the room. When she goes to pick it up she sees it’s her mom calling on facetime. Looking to Y/n to make sure everything's okay she explains, “It’s my mom, I’ll just be a moment.” He nods and continues his cooking on the stove.

Walking down the nearest hallway, she answers and her phone is illuminated with the face of her mother.

“Y/n?”

“Hey mom! What’s up?”

“Nothing much, I’m just now leaving the lab. How are you? I’m sorry I couldn’t answer your call this morning. We’re working on a big project right now so I was busy this morning.”

Y/n paces around the hallway, wanting the phone call to end soon. Her mom has great timing, “I’m good, just having dinner with… a coworker. ”

Her mom lets out an exasperated sigh. “I still can’t believe you chose to work for that company over mine.”

“Mom, we’ve been over this. I want to do things on my own terms.”

Rolling her eyes, she nods, “Yes of course, so you keep saying…”

Wanting to get to the main idea, Y/n pushes forward, “Anyway. I was wondering when’s a good day for me to come over? I ran out of deodorant a couple days ago.”

Hearing this her mom gets upset, “Y/n. How many times have I told you to call me when you're down to three cans to prevent this from happening? We are not like the people here, we have to go the extra mile to keep our hygiene up. You know this.”

Even at her big age of 26, Y/n still is affected by her mother’s scolding, “I know, it just got away from me this time.”

There’s a pause of silence on the phone for a brief second, but Y/n is brought back to her surroundings when Yoongi peaks his head down the hallway and tells her, “Foods done.”

She nods her head to him and holds her pointer finger up to him, indicating she’ll just be another minute, before he goes back to the kitchen.

Praying to the gods again, she hopes her mom didn’t hear him. And just as before, they have failed her once again.

“Was that a man? She said you were with a coworker. Did you not mean Michi?” her eyes widened, “Y/n do you have a boyfriend you haven’t told me about? When can your dad and I meet him?”

Shaking her head with a giggle, she responds, “It’s nothing serious right now. This is our first date. Trust me, I’ll let you guys know when it progresses a little more.”

Her mom’s demeanor now did a complete 180, “All right, all right. I’ll leave you to it then. I need to order another shipment of deodorant but I’ll expedite it and let you know when you can come to get them.”

Relieved that her mom isn’t going to press her anymore, Y/n nods, “Okay thanks mom. I love you.”

“Love you too. Be safe and have a good night.”

Reciprocating her moms sentiments, they both hang up the phone.

Y/n walks back out into the kitchen to see Yoongi sitting at the kitchen island on his phone with both their plates, waiting for them. Hearing her approach, he puts his phone away and asks, “Everything okay?”

She nods her head and they both begin eating before she explains, “Yeah, it’s all good. Just my mom calling to check on me.”

He nods in understanding, “Are you close with your parents?”

“Kind of? My mom has always been a workaholic so I didn’t see her much but when she wasn’t working she was always there for me. Same with my dad. I try to see them a couple times a month, but recently their jobs have gotten in the way. Though after that call, I’m sure I’ll be seeing them soon. What about you?”

He paused at this, not sure if he should share the trials and tribulations of his upbringing. While his friends had college paid for and some even had trust funds, his upbringing did not include a silver spoon. And the situation with his parents didn’t help either. Looking at Y/n’s attentive gaze as she waits for his answer, he chooses to tell a vague truth.

“I’m not close with them. My mom died when I was 16… and my dad went to jail around that time. My parents didn’t make a lot of money so I was used to having under the table jobs and gigs to sustain myself. After they left, I went to foster care during my teen years until I aged out. I didn't want to stay poor forever so I worked and put myself through college. That’s where I met the guys.”

Y/n’s face turns to a sorrowful expression before responding, “I’m sorry to hear that. It must have been hard.”

He shrugs, not wanting her to take pity on him, “It’s fine… Actually, I think it’s only since I met you that I can finally say it was all worth it.”

“Me? What do you mean?”

He gives her a soft smile, “Had those things not happened, I probably wouldn’t have gone to college to meet the pack. Without the pack, I wouldn’t have met you.”

She looks away from his sincere expression, feeling the tell tell signs of tears starting to bubble up in her vision. Trying to avoid crying she chose to jest instead. She gives him a playful push of his arm while she rolls her eyes and smiles, “Wow, such a romantic.”

Yoongi gets up and starts clearing the table before he responds, “Only for you.”

Once he’s done cleaning up, they go to the couch and are quickly joined by Tang hopping up into Yoongi’s lap. They both coo at the adorable creature and give him soft pets while they talk more about their lives and interests.

Yoongi had recalled a story about the pack's time in college and made Y/n wonder how the pack came to be, “It seems like you guys have been together forever, but you guys only met in college?”

He shakes his head, “Most of us met in college but some knew each other from before that. Seokjin and Jungkook were childhood best friends because both their parents grew up together. Jimin and Taehyung have a similar story, childhood bestfriends because their parents ran in the same high society circles”

Y/n nods at this, it definitely made sense with how intune the pairs act with each other. She thinks back to how Jimin and Taehyung essentially tag teamed her on her first meeting, and now she’s positive it was on purpose.

“The rest of you guys met each other in college then?”

“Yeah. Namjoon and I had a lot of classes together. One day we got paired to do a project that we were having trouble with, and he told me one of his hyungs took that class and was willing to help. That's when I met Jin, so of course not soon after Jungkook started tagging along. Pretty soon we met Hoseok who was already friends with Tae and Jimin by that time. Then, I don’t know one day we just all started hanging together.”

“I’m still learning about wolf stuff so forgive me if I sound stupid, but did you guys form the pack immediately or…”

Yoongi chuckles and shakes his head, “It definitely took a while… In all honesty I was very stubborn and didn’t want to join them when they started bringing it up.

Y/n isn’t too shocked at this. From his explanation of his childhood and his demeanor, there’s no doubt the Alpha held his independence in high regard, “So what changed?”

This makes him laugh, “They tricked me.”

She pauses at that, “They tricked you?”

He looks up to the ceiling and starts absent mindedly petting Tang, as if recollecting a fond memory, “Yeah they kept bringing up pack this and pack that. I kept telling them we were good as friends and that I never had much interest in being a part of a pack. Soon they stopped talking about it all together. Instead they started talking about the future; what we wanted to do after University. We all got degrees in either computer science, math, or business. I can’t remember who brought it up first but someone mentioned us starting a tech company of some kind. I didn’t think much of it but started to indulge them. The more we talked about it the better it sounded. I was always skeptical but my brothers are smart and capable. So when the time to graduate came around we got to work on putting the company together. A year later we decided to hold a party with just us to celebrate our company becoming official. When I got there, I was the last one and was surprised when I saw a huge banner that said “Happy 1 Year Packaversary”. I stopped fighting it after that.”

The story put a smile on Y/n’s face, “Well, looks like the pack chose you.”

He nods, “Yeah. They did.”

After a bit more talking, Tang got up from Yoongi’s lap and walked over to his cat bed, laying down for the night. They took this as a sign to end their night too so Yoongi took her home.

Throughout her whole night time routine, Y/n reveled in her new found admiration for Yoongi and the pack. Missing them she decided to text the group chat:

Y/n: Goodnight guys, I hope you rest well :)

a/n: he guys sorry it took so long, im also posting this from my phone at work, so sorry for the inconsistent formatting, will fix when i get off
