08.

Yesol was on the verge of losing her mind in its entirety.

"Jaehyun, I'm only going to take maybe five minutes, for crying out loud."

"I know, but Taeyong gave us strict instructions to never let you be alone no matter what." The blond man replied, giving her a sheepish look.

Yesol sighed, running her hands through her hair. "What do you want me to do then? I have to pee, and none of you can just chill in the women's restroom."

"We need a woman in the pack, honestly." Ten sighed, shaking his head. "Yesol gets better protection and living with stinky men every day would be a little more bearable."

"Yeah, maybe if Taeil and his mate were on good terms- ouch! What the Hell!?" Yuta reached down and clutched his shin in pain from the brutal kick Doyoung swung his way.

"Don't talk about that like it's casual, you . That's a sensitive topic, and you're lucky Taeil wasn't here to hear that."

"Yeah, so uncool, bro." Johnny tsked at him in disapproval.

"He has a mate?" Yesol couldn't stop herself from asking. As far as she had known, only Mark had found his mate. Well, kind of...

"Yeah, he and I were the only two with mates in the pack before Mark found you." Doyoung nodded. "But, don’t talk about Damhong around him. It's not a pleasant conversation for anyone."

Even more surprising for Yesol, was Doyoung's claim. "Wait, so you have a mate?"

Ten and Johnny erupted into chortling children, even gaining and chuckle from Jaehyun. Yuta simply rolled his eyes.

"Only in his dreams." He snorted. "Literally."

"Yah, watch your mouth-"

"Or what? You'll bite me with your little rabbit teeth?"

"Maybe I will, mountain man."

At that point, the two bickering men were beginning to draw attention to the huddle of people standing outside of the restrooms at the mall. Yesol sighed, giving Jaehyun a pointed look. "You get them to stop fighting, and I'll go pee. Please?"

With his own reluctant sigh, Jaehyun nodded and turned his attention to his pack mates, Johnny joining him in breaking up their argument.

By the time she got out, however, Yuta and Doyoung seemed to be fighting even worse, and Jaehyun and Johnny had long since given up breaking up their bickering.

"Why aren't you stopping them?" She asked, not even caring enough to step in herself. She had spent three long days without any peace and quiet time to herself, save for when she did manage to escape to the bathroom. She knew it was for her safety, but she felt like she was in prison.

Ten threw his arm around as she stepped closer, giving a wide grin of enjoyment. "It's far too entertaining watching two idiots fight to put an end to it. They aren't hurting each other, so there's no harm in laughing about it."

"Yuta almost always wins though." Johnny snickered. "In fact, Doyoung loses just about every argument with everyone."

"Poor Doyoung." Yesol frowned. Despite being the same age as her and Ten, Doyoung seemed to always be the one getting picked on by the rest of the pack the most. She attributed it to his feisty personality as well as his docile nature. He always had something to say, but not always something to back up his words.

He made himself an easy target.

"I'm only going to ask this once, but what the Hell is going on over here?" The growl of a familiar voice made all six of them freeze in their spots, silence surrounding them instantly.

"Yeah. We were going to call and ask where you were, but we didn't need to cause of Yuta's loud mouth." Haechan chirped, crossing his arms.

"Donghyuck, why are you always so-"

"Don't speak anymore." Taeyong cut Doyoung off, shaking his head at the boys. "We're here to meet someone, not to play around."

Yesol's eyes met Mark's as the curly blond snuck his way soundlessly past his Alpha over to her. They shared a smile in greeting, his fingers threading through hers.

"Hey." He whispered gently into her ear, to which her cheeks flushed response.

"Hey back."

Ten unwrapped his arm from around Yesol and took a step away, shaking his head in disgust. "You guys are so gross. It's a damn good thing I haven't eaten anything because I would've thrown it up already."

"Wow, you're such a drama queen." Johnny rolled his eyes.

"No , I'm a princess. Get it straight."

Jaehyun chuckled and decided to join in on the banter. "Your name should be Chittaprincess instead of Chittaphon."
