Chapter 4

An Alpha's Struggle

It would be a few more days before Doyoung and Hoseok returned from their missions, Doyoung pulling up beside Kihyun's jeep. They had returned the rental car since there was still other cars they could use.

The day of the beach day came around and Jimin was excited. He had brought Cory out to the lake a few days prior to show him around, which in turn got him excited. "It's a nice spot," said Cory. Jimin beamed. "I knew you'd like it!" He said.

Hoseok and Doyoung didn't take to sharing their room with strangers too well but they put up with it since Cory had basically moved into Changkhyun's room to give them a bit more space to work with. Kihyun saw the change in Jimin and was in a brighter mood, happy to see Jimin somewhat back to his old self. Even Hoseok couldn't stay away from Jimin's good mood and was in better spirits. Cory and his pack mates fit in well with the pack and even Kisu was talking more with Youngjae.

"Come on guys!" Shouted Jimin as he ran out the back door to the lake. Cory sighed and shook his head. "Is he usually like this?" He asked. Kihyun laughs. "He used to, at least, before everything happened, I'm glad to see him back in this mood again," he said. "Same, it has Hobi back in his good mood too," said Doyoung as Hoseok ran out after Jimin. "Jooheon help me carry the cooler to the lake?" Called Kihyun. Jooheon went and helped Kihyun take the cooler to the lake with the others bringing chairs and stuff.

Jimin was already at the lake, dropping off his weekly flowers at the graves with Hoseok when the others got there. When Jimin noticed that they others arrived he ran over to help set up at the lake. "Jimin was right, this is beautiful," said Kisu as he looked around. "How'd you find a place like this?" He asked Kihyun. "It was here when we went running one day," said Kihyun. "We found it and used this spot as our camping grounds when we have celebrations," he said.

Jimin took off his shirt before climbing up the little waterfall that was near them. "Do a backflip!" Shouted Hoseok as he scrambled to climb up after Jimin. Jimin chuckled and jumped, doing a back flip into the water. Hoseok jumped after him, landing with a splash when Jimin came up for air. Hoseok came up for air and splashed Jimin. Jimin laughs as he splashed back before swimming back to shore. Hoseok swam after him.

Doyoung had climbed onto the rock, looking out over the water. Hoseok clambered onto the rock to sit with him, bringing snacks and a few drinks. Jimin sat with Kihyun near the water on a couple towels. Youngjae and Jooheon sat nearby with their own towels. Cory, Kisu and Hui sat on the left side of the rock, leaning against the base of the rock in the shade and enjoying the day.

Jimin stayed out at the lake with Cory as the others went home later. "Changkhyun gave me a little heads up about your little problem with being an alpha," said Cory as he stood beside Jimin. "Mm," said Jimin. "I want to help you," said Cory. "I was in your same situation," he said. "But I had help from Jeonguk and the others and I gained that confidence in being an alpha," he said. Jimin turned to Cory. "Are you sure you can help me?" He asked. Cory nodded. "Don't let self doubt bring you down, I know it's hard not to let the self doubt take over but we need you to try," he said.

After about 15 minutes they decided to head back, seeing how late it was getting. "You don't mind me being in the room?" Asked Cory. "Not really, I feel like I can sleep better with you and Kihyun," said Jimin as he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "Nothing wrong with that," said Cory as he smiled slightly. "I just couldn't be in there with all the snoring," he said laughing some as he scratched the back of his head. "You should hear Namjoon then," Jimin said with a chuckle. "Oh lord," said Cory. "Be glad you're not sharing a room with him like Youngjae and Jooheon are," said Jimin as he shook his head.

"You never told me if you were a pure blood or not," said Cory as he turned to Jimin. "I am a pure blood," said Jimin as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Kihyun's my mate, but I haven't found my pure blood mate yet," he said, shrugging. Cory tilted his head to the side. "Mm," he said before walking forward. "What about you?" Asked Jimin as he followed after Cory. "I haven't found my mate yet, but I am a pure blood," said Cory as he shrugs.
