Miyoung never thought she'd love Chunji more than she already did, but she realized she was falling deeper and deeper in love with him by day.

She had known that male hormones was a formidable thing. Her mother had emphasized it the when she had been merely 12 and was about to go to school for the first time. The parent had been mortified to send her daughter to a school with other male wolves but could do nothing about it since it was tradition and rule.

She also knew, from her vast reading and constant studying, that male wolf hormones were much more formidable than usual male hormones. They were twice as strong, making aroused wolves twice feel the urge and need twice as much, the thirst twice as hard to bear.

Which was why when Chunji greeted her with a gentle morning kiss the following morning, she had scanned his face to see if he was acting affectionate of any sort. And she wouldn't have blamed him if he did either.

Because they were very nearly going to do it when she halted the whole thing. She had felt his heart beating so rapidly in his chest, the way his breaths came out as heavy pants, the way his eyes glazed hungrily over her form and the blood rushing through his veins.

Being mates, she had known just how much he had wanted it.

Hence she would have nothing against him if he felt sore and grumpy about being denied the act. But as her eyes skimmed through his face, his sleepy eyes and crooked grin, she found nothing of the sort. She knew he had to do his business about the tent on his pyjamas bottom in the middle of the night, and thought he'd be at least a little pissed about it, but he wasn't.

He meant everything he said. He would wait for her till she was ready, and he would love her no matter.

As Chunji sauntered to the breakfast table, (late again, mind you, with his hair in that perfect condition as always), he blinked in surprise as Miyoung suddenly stood up and tiptoed, pressing a kiss on his lips.

"I love you, Chanhee oppa." she beamed.

Chunji's arms circled around her waist automatically and he smiled in pleasant surprise. "What's up?" he narrowed his eyes suspiciously but couldn't keep the smile playing at his lips. "Something looks wrong here."

Miyoung blinked back innocently at him. "What?" she asked. "Do you doubt what I said?"

"No." Chunji shook his head, leaning his forehead against hers. "I don't, because I feel the same. But I'm supposed to be the mushy one here and the way you're acting is really out of the norm." he raised a brow. "But still, I like it." he chuckled, leaning to capture her lips again.

Miyoung pushed him away just as his lips grazed hers and sent him a playful smirk. "Well since you're getting all suspicious about this Miyoung I should return to the old one." she grinned. "Get to work now! And finish your breakfast in five! I'll wait for you downstairs!" she called as she darted out of the door.

Chunji stared at her in utmost surprise and raked his fingers through his hair, not caring how he used fifteen minutes to get that current effect. "That girl's going to be the death of me." He mused.

The gang met up at night after work for dinner as if was Friday night.

It had become one of their common practices after they graduated from school and went to work. Chunji and Miyoung had taken the duties of pack leaders of course, and both Mr Lee and Park had retired with their wives, enjoying life of luxury at home.

Kyungmi and Changjo worked in the financial department in the ministry and Gongchan was the assistant manager in the manpower department. CAP opened a new club by the town, Niel and Ricky together with Jaemi worked at a childcare center while L.Joe and Mihye set up their own fashion label.

Though busy with their own lives, they met up to keep in touch like they did again this day, and went to a nearby eatery for dinner. "You cannot imagine that darn parent just this afternoon!" Jaemi complained. "My gosh. His daughter stole, I repeat, stole the plastic knife for cutting cakes this afternoon since one of the other kids celebrated his birthday."

Jaemi gulped her juice. "And he had the guts to come and complain to us about how we leave dangerous objects lying around!" she fumed. "Can you even comprehend the mere absurdity about this? We placed the knife away from the kids and told them not to touch it, and she came prancing around and stealing it. What the!"

"Noona, relax." Ricky refilled her orange juice.

Jaemi shot him a look. "Don't you dare say anything because you were cowering behind the pillar when that guy came shouting and complaining in the office." she accused.

Niel shorted in laughter and Jaemi glared at him. Niel raised his hands up in defeat. "Alright alright I admit I didn't help as well. I was hiding along with Ricky." he admitted.

The gang burst into laughter and CAP shook his head. "You're retarded." he rolled his eyes. "And you dare tell people about it?"

Niel grinned. "Why not? I'm honest like that." he did a stupid dance. CAP shook his head and muttered under his breath. "No wonder this guy hasn't gotten a mate yet."

L.Joe hadn't said anything from the start of dinner like he always didn't, and kept his attention fixed on Mihye. He was being extremely cautious since he found out that his mate was pregnant and a little paranoid, to be honest, but everyone knew he loved his mate and his child.

Ricky was suddenly interested in the baby and he peered at Mihye's abdomen. "Mihye noona, why isn't your tummy protruding out yet?" he scratched his head. "Isn't your baby in there?"

Gongchan laughed and shook his head. "Man are you retarded? Mihye's only one month pregnant. Even I know that the baby doesn't show now!"

Ricky sulked and looked at Jaemi for help but his mate too shook her head. "He's right. You're retarded." she told him blantly. Ricky pouted. "Hey!"

On the other end of the table, Changjo and Kyungmi were immersed in their little bubble of happiness since they had been recognized as mates few days ago. They were on the honeymoon period, where nothing could make them unhappy or take the smiles away from their faces, and just everything brightened their mood.

Changjo seemed extremely affectionate, just as how Chunji had been but had toned down his public displays of affection once Miyoung told him to stop it, and it seemed Changjo had to be touching Kyungmi in one way or another at every point of time. Either slinging his arm around her shoulder, or holding her waist, playing with her hair, holding her hand or caressing her palm, even when they weren't physically touching Changjo had to be near her at some point.

It was nice and all for the couple, but for Gongchan it was pretty difficult to take it in. He tore his eyes away from the couple and gulped down his can of beer. *Damn this.*

Unaware of a certain heart sinking, the rest of them continued with their playful banter as they always did, laughing and creating much noise. Miyoung stood up in the middle of the meal to go to the bathroom and excused herself. Chunji kept an eye on her as she left, the magnetic force that drew his gaze to her never declining in force since the beginning.

"Man, please don't try to cause Miyoung to disintegrate with your eyes." CAP said dully. "The intensity of your gaze is frightening."

Chunji pinked and threw a bun at CAP. "Aish jealous freak!"

Miyoung hadn't known anything that had happened and she made her way to the bathroom. She relieved herself and went to wash her hands, checking her hair and attire before going out again. Pretty normal bathroom stuff until she knocked into a guy just outside the female bathroom.

"Omo I'm sorry." Miyoung bowed.

The guy bent down to collect the purse that she dropped and handed it to her. The moment Miyoung's eyes met his, she felt a familiar shiver down her spine. "Have I...met you before?" she asked uncertainly, almost forgetting about the purse that was offered in front of her face.

The guy gave a mysterious smile. "That's for me to know, and for you to find out." he passed her the purse.

Miyoung accepted it with a blush, wondering why she thought that. It sounded awfully stupid for her to ask that but she couldn't help but feel like she had met this guy before. His aura, the outline of his sihlouette, everything seemed famliar. Especially those eyes.

The werewolf colony wasn't that big, but it wasn't that small either so Miyoung just dismissed it as if she hadn't met this guy before but just saw him around. "So uh, sorry about knocking into you. And thanks for picking up my purse." Miyoung smiled politely.

The guy studied her for a little too long, his eyes roaming her face and taking every feature in. Miyoung shifted uncomfortably and the guy snapped his eyes to meet hers and he offered her a small smile. Miyoung couldn't help but think how he was very good-looking (what, since she had a boyfriend she must turn away from all hot guys? She knew one when she saw one) and very familiar.

"No problem. Happy to be in your service, Miyoung." the guy chuckled.

Miyoung's eyes rounded. "How did you know my name?"

The guy shrugged. "You're the leader of the Park pack aren't you?" he mused. "Of course I do." Miyoung mentally knocked her own head. Sometimes she forgot about the extent of her own fame and this was one of the times.

"Well then, thanks and goodbye Mr..." Miyoung frowned, recalling if he had told her his name. "Hoya." the guy looked at her with his intense black eyes. "I'm called Hoya."

Miyoung nodded, shivering again. "Well then, goodbye Hoya sshi. I'll see you around." she waved and made her way back to her table.

Chunji pouted at her and pulled her down her seat. "What took you so long?" he murmured. "I missed you." Miyoung laughed and punched his arm lightly. "What, even for a toilet break?"

Chunji grinned. "Hey, you should know my love for you is lasts longer than forever, runs more passionate than the flame of the sun, burns with utmost intensity that nearly tears my heart apart and-"

"Will you please shut your mouth up Chunji hyung?" L.Joe snapped. "My baby is turning in Mihye's womb and if he refuses to come out into the world we all know the reason is you."

____________

"She's beautiful, oppa." Jihyo smiled at Hoya as he turned.

The three vampire triplets had begged their brother to let them see the girl in question and he had finally allowed them to follow that night. And besides, he was going to carry out his plan soon. The time was nearing.

"I know." Hoya murmured with a soft smile.

Jiyeon giggled at the sight of her brother in love while Jihyun could care less about the topic at hand. "Hey did you see the rest of the wolves?" she asked. "Wow I didn't know male wolves could be that handsome."

"Really?" Jihyo blinked at the boys. "Well okay...they look quite cute. Especially that guy with long shaggy hair."

"Well my personal favorite is that muscle man at the side." Jihyun swooned. She elbowed the maknae. "How about you, Jiyeon?"

Jiyeon shook her head. "I have no preference." she replied meekly. Hoya grinned in approval and ushered his sisters away. "Come on, we've got to go." Jihyun on the other hand kept complaining about Jiyeon's lack of interest in boys. "What? Come on! Those are seven fine species of male wolves and you say none of them caught your eye? You're looking for a god then, Jiyeon. What, Percy Jackson?"

Jiyeon giggled lightly, following her brother. She would never tell her sister about how a certain gloomy pale wolf at the end of the table had caught her eye.

Nope, she wasn't telling.
