Chapter 5

An Alpha's Struggle

Jimin and Cory were becoming closer as time went on. Kihyun had figured it out early on that Jimin had completed his circle in finding his mates but he didn't feel jealous. He had no reason to, because he wanted Jimin to be happy. Hoseok and Doyoung were around for about a month before they were called out to South Korea to get their next list of vampires and check on Changkhyun and Jungkook.

Jimin had taken Kihyun's jeep, dragging Cory, his pack mates, and Kihyun to the shopping center to get some new clothes. When they got there Jimin decided to drag Kisu, who dragged Hui along with him, around the stores. Kihyun shouted for them to not wander too far as he stayed back with Cory. Youngjae and Jooheon would meet them at the food court for lunch, since they wanted some alone time before heading out to the shopping center.

"Well," said Cory as he stopped in front of a store that Jimin had dragged his two pack mates into. "This is a surprise," he said. Kihyun chuckled as he stood beside Cory. "As much as we have too much clothes Jimin would rather see what they have," he said. "It's actually pretty rare for him to get clothes, he just window shops most of the time," he said, putting his hands in his pockets. "Well, unless we're sent out on missions, we don't really pack much, just enough to get there and back," he said. "Unless of course, Jimin spots a mall," he said with a chuckle. Cory laughs, shaking his head.

"You guys fit well in our pack," remarked Kihyun as he watched out for Jimin and Cory's pack mates. "Mm," said Cory as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I guess I do," he said. "I know you and Jimin are mates," said Kihyun as he turned to look at Cory. "That obvious?" Asked Cory. "Not really," said Kihyun. "It took me a bit to figure it out," he said. "I'm not jealous or anything, I just want him to be happy," he said, sighing. "Things have changed so much," he said. "Mm," said Cory as he spotted Jimin coming out of the store with his pack mates. Jimin studied Cory and Kihyun for a second before dragging Kisu and Hui over to the next store. Kihyun shook his head in amusement and followed after him. Cory followed after them after checking his group chat for any new messages.

Kisu got a break from going into a store as Jimin dragged Kihyun and Hui into the store. "Some mate you have," he said to Cory in Korean. Cory laughs, scratching the back of his head. "Kihyun did warn me," he said in Korean. "Are you going to stay when we go back?" Asked Kisu. "I don't know yet," said Cory as he sighed. "We'll see with time," he said. "It's been a few months now," said Kisu. "We still have a lot to figure out," said Cory. "Plus I don't think Jimin realizes it yet," he said. "He'll realize it soon," said Kisu. "I'm sure of it," he said.

"You guys are having an interesting conversation," said Youngjae as he walked over with Jooheon. "Mm," said Cory as he turned to Youngjae. "Did you guys just get here?" He asked in English. "No, we've been here for a while," said Jooheon as he put his hands in his pockets. "Youngjae wanted to get some new clothes so," he said, shrugging. "We don't really go out shopping too much, Jimin and Jungkook usually gets clothes for all of us," said Youngjae as he shrugs. "But I've outgrown most of mine so," he said, shrugging. "Mm," said Cory.

"You know," Kisu said in Korean as he turned to glance at Youngjae before turning back to Cory. "I think I may have found my mate here too," he said. Cory smiled some. "That's good, I guess," he said in Korean. "I kind of figured, you've been hanging out with Youngjae and Jooheon a lot since we've been here," he said. "Take things as they go though, Youngjae is as broken as Jimin it seems," he said. "Mm," said Kisu.

"Alright, what are you two discussing now?" Asked Youngjae as he tilted his head to the side. "I heard mine and Jooheon's names," he said. Kisu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "Don't worry, we weren't discussing anything bad," he said in English. "Just discussing pack related things," he said. "That includes us?" Asked Jooheon. "Mm," said Cory as he chuckled. "You're on your own on this one Kisu," he said in Korean before spotting Jimin coming out of the store with Kihyun and Hui. He took the distraction to walk with them, going to the next store. Kisu sighed and followed after them with Youngjae and Jooheon.

"Hyung, don't let Jimin drag me into the next store please," Hui said in Korean with a pout. "Okay, what's with all the Korean today?" Asked Jimin as he tilted his head to the side. "Hui doesn't want to get dragged into the next store," Cory said with a snicker. "I'm dragging you into the next store then!" Jimin exclaimed as he grabbed Hui by the arm and dragged him into the store. Cory laughs at Hui's "help me" expression as he was dragged into the store.

"You are a mean alpha you know that?" Asked Kihyun as he stood with Cory. Youngjae and Jooheon had decided to go to the food court, Kisu going after them to talk to them. "Payback," Cory said with a chuckle. "Hui does most of the shopping back home, dragging Jeonguk and I along most of the time," he said. "Now he knows how we feel," he said as he put his hands in his pockets.

"It seems Kisu found his mate too," remarked Kihyun. "Mm," said Cory. "He still has his other mate to find, but yeah, he's found his pure blood mate," he said. "Who all is a pure blood in your pack?" Asked Kihyun. "Me, Kisu, Jeonguk and Changsun," said Cory. "Jeonguk and Changsun are together, and Changsun found his other mate in another pack member of ours, Jinhong," he said. "Hongseob and Hui are the only ones without mates," he said. "And they, along with Jinhong are our only turned werewolves," he said. "Mm," said Kihyun.

They went to the food court after Jimin was done window shopping for that store, going to sit with Youngjae, Kisu and Jooheon. "Did it go well?" Cory asked Kisu in Korean. Kisu nodded, smiling some. "It did," he said in Korean. Cory smiled. "Good," he said. Hui smiled. "I'm happy for you," he said in Korean as he patted Kisu on the back before going off to get food. It took a minute for Kihyun to catch on before he smiled. "Congrats Youngjae," he said. Youngjae chuckled, embarrassed now. "Thanks," he said. Jooheon chuckled some. "And now Hui gets a room to himself," he said.
