Things became awkward for Cory and Jimin as Cory avoided Jimin for the next couple days, trying to figure out what to do. Kihyun had eventually figured it out thanks to Hui telling him when Jimin had been away from the pack house.

Cory was at the lake again, sitting cross legged on the rock that was overlooking the water. It had become his new favorite spot as he leaned forward in the thinking pose, being in his thoughts. "How the hell are you supposed to tell someone that you're still a ?" He grumbled to himself as he looked out across the water. "In fact, how the hell do you bring up the subject without being awkward about it?" He asked himself as he face palmed.

"Hyung!" Came Hui's voice as he walked over. "What's up?" Asked Cory as he turned to look at Hui. "Jimin wants to talk," he said. "About?" Asked Cory. "You two's relationship and where it's going," said Hui. Cory groaned. "Why now?" He asked. Hui shrugs. "Want him to come out to the lake?" He asked. "Nah, I'll go to him, where is he?" Asked Cory as he stood and hopped down from the rock, landing on his feet. "In Changkhyun's room," said Hui. "Good luck hyung," he said. "Thanks," mumbled Cory as he walked back. Hui walked back with him. Kihyun spotted Cory as he walked back into the house. "Good luck Cory," he said, going to pat Cory on the back before heading into the kitchen. Cory let out a sigh and went down the hall and to Changkhyun's room. He knocked on the door.

"Come in," came Jimin's voice. Cory stared at the doorknob for a full minute before reaching for it and turning it, pushing the door open. He entered the room and closed the door behind him, smiling some at Jimin. "Hey there," he said, scratching the back of his head. "You wanted to talk?" He asked.

"I wanted to talk about us," said Jimin as he turned to Cory. "What about us?" Asked Cory as he tilted his head to the side. "I want to move our relationship forward, but it's hard to when you've been avoiding me the past couple days," said Jimin. Cory chuckled some. "Well," he said. "I wasn't sure if you wanted to move to the next level," he said, scratching the back of his head. "I wanted to give you some space to think about it," he said.

Jimin tilted his head to the side. "There's something more to it isn't there?" He asked. Cory blushed. "Ah... W-Well," he stammered, looking down. "Nothing against you," he said after a minute as he looked back at Jimin. "I-It's just... I've never..." He mumbled as he looked away. Jimin blinked before chuckling and walking over to Cory. "What's there to be embarrassed about?" He asked as he turned Cory to make him look at him. "If it all came down to that then we can wait til you're ready," he said.

Cory looked at Jimin after a few minutes of being in his thoughts. "Can you give me a couple days? And maybe take me out on a date first?" He asked with a chuckle. Jimin laughs. "Sure," he said, grinning. "I'll take you out tomorrow, my treat," he said. Cory nodded, smiling now. "Good, better take me somewhere fancy then!" He said before running out the room. Jimin shook his head before leaving the room.

"I'm going to guess everything went alright for you both?" Asked Kihyun as Jimin entered the kitchen. "Yep," said Jimin. "I can't believe it came down to that out of all things," he said, shaking his head. "Well, he had trouble telling you, it's not like he could come out and say it outright," said Kihyun. "I guess," said Jimin.

Cory went out to the lake again with Hui, in a better mood than before. "I'm glad it worked out for you hyung," said Hui. "Thanks," said Cory as he scratched the back of his neck. "I want a couple days to I guess prepare," he said, shrugging. "I'm sure Jimin doesn't mind that," said Hui. "He said he didn't," he said. "But I wanted a date first," he said with a chuckle. "Ever the romantic," Hui said with a chuckle. "Hush you," Cory said as he lightly punched Hui in the arm. Hui chuckled.

"Race you to the lake?" He asked. Cory smirked. "You're on," he said before disappearing behind a tree to strip. Hui did the same thing. They came out from behind the trees in wolf form with their clothes in their mouths. Cory crouched before leaping forward, pushing his body to run. Hui barked in protest as he pushed himself forward and raced Cory to the lake.

Hui's smaller form lagged behind a little, but he dug his claws into the ground to make himself run faster. Cory continued to push himself forward, daring Hui to rush past him.

They both skidded to a stop when they reached the lake, going behind the trees to change back and get dressed. "You cheated," said Hui as he pouted. "Never said i'd play fair," said Cory as he grinned. They headed out to the water, climbing onto the rock and sitting down on it. "You're crazy, you know," said Hui. "About what?" Asked Cory as he turned to look at Hui. "Just crazy in general," said Hui as he looked out across the water. Cory tilted his head to the side. "Mm," he said before turning back to look at the water, leaning back on his hands as he stretched out on the rock.

"I guess Kihyun's taking everyone out for the day when you decide you're ready," said Hui as he tilted his head to the side. "It seems so," said Cory. "Don't spend too much money on shopping now," he said. "I don't spend that much on shopping," he said. "Besides, I checked the account, it seems we're good for the time being," he said. "We can afford clothes and internet at least," said Cory as he chuckled some. "Food isn't too hard to come by," he said. "It really isn't," agreed Hui.

"You guys gonna spend the night out here or what?" Came Kisu's voice as he walked over. Cory turned his head, spotting Kisu. "Hey Kisu," he said, standing and stretching. "Congrats by the way," Kisu said with a chuckle. "Now it's your turn Kisu," Cory said with a snicker. "Yah! Not yet!" He shouted as he threw a rock in Cory's direction. Cory chuckled and hopped down from the rock with Hui hopping down beside him. They headed home.
