Two Worlds | JIKOOK ✅

11.

It might not have been his stomach? His wolf.

His wolf might be that loud.

Maybe there was a good
reason or two to keep him out
of school and here for a while.

I hated to think so but I was lacking so much knowledge,
this was probably best for him.

"I had no idea you were a
wolf." I confessed as he
handed me my lemonade.

"I mean, that's the point I
guess but still."

"You seemed so normal."

"Does he still like bologna?"

I nodded.

"I am a wolf but I didn't know
it until after I met Joon."

"You didn't shift like Dalsu?"

"I was latent, Which means
my wolf was hidden."

"My dad was a wolf, I never
met him." He handed me a
plate with three sandwiches.

"Can we not go down this
path?"

"Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude." Or eat my foot again.

"Did you want a sandwich
too?"

"I thought this was one for
each of us."

He started to crack up, like
full-on belly laughs and Jai popped his eyes open and smiled.

So stinkin' adorable.

"You have so much to learn about little wolves and their appetites."

"That is for Dalsu and I
might need to make more."

Oh.

Dalsu ate, we chatted and eventually the yawning began.

I offered to go back to Jungkook's but Jin insisted
we stay while they had
some meeting or something.

He wasn't too clear on that, so
as Jin put Jai down, I settled
Dalsu into an oversized chair,
his choice, not mine and sang him a song about
photosynthesis he loved from
an old alternative band as he allowed his eyes to close.

"He went right to sleep." I
kissed his little head as I
tried more than once to get
up, eventually allowing
Jin to give me a hand.

"First shifts take a lot out of
you."

I found the spot on the couch
I'd been in earlier, the one that had an ottoman for my foot
and sat down, my head beginning to throb again.

"We can just stay here."

It was imposing but Jin was
or at least had been a friend.

We'd grown apart since he
met Joon and now I better understood why.

"No, you can't."

"Joon has his reasons for
putting you where he does."

"Jungkook doesn't want us there."

He thought I didn't know.

I was out of it with the tea
but not that out of it to not
see and hear what was going
on around me.

I just hadn't been able to
figure out what to do or say about some of it, thanks to
the tea.

"I don't think that's true." He
sat down beside me.

"But that doesn't matter."

"He's the one Dalsu's wolf responded to and let me let
you in on a little secret."
