~~2~~

The fire was a warm shield against the cold, night sky. The crickets chirped around him, and the frogs croaked in the river not too far from where he built his camp for the night. Honestly, it was a peaceful place to possibly build a home.

No matter where he goes, however, it won't be home.

He sighs softly, grabbing a cooked piece of the rabbit he was roasting on the fire and began to eat. The juices flowed on his tongue, giving him instant energy as well as making him sleepy from the warm meat filling his stomach. The rabbit pelt he saved was hanging to dry after he washed it in the river to remove any fleas and ticks on it, as well as to wash any dirt and blood from the fur.

Those would make warm socks for the winter, he thought, chewing on the bone once he picked the meat clean off of it. Once he was finished eating, and there was no more rabbit meat to pick off of the bones, he placed them all in a piece of cloth to be cleaned and thought of many ways he could use those whether it's tools or even make jewelry to trade at the next pack he ran across.

If those didn't turn their heads, it would be the rabbit's feet he had saved for the midwives and healers. They strive to have those pieces of treasure any time someone caught a rabbit.

Just as he finished cleaning up, a slight breeze flowed through the trees and he caught the scent of another Alpha. His wolf stirs, ready to defend himself if needed. He had no food, and hardly any belongings, if they were trying to loot him for items they would be disappointed with what he's got.

But he caught another scent with the Alpha, one that was slightly stronger and... distressed? Perhaps an Omega? Then he heard the branches crackling and footsteps heading towards his way, his gaze turns to where he can hear their paws treading close to where he is.

He stayed sitting though, he didn't want to show any threat to an Alpha if this was his territory, or worse, an Alpha traveling with his mate.

Geonhak watched as the trees and shrubs split, and reveal two wolves. One was smaller, clearly the Omega, and was hiding behind his Alpha. His all-white fur was matted down, almost as if they've been traveling for a while. The Alpha stood taller when Geonhak's presence was known, his tan and black wolf perfect hides the Omega's.

Geonhak holds his hands up peacefully, to show the other Alpha he meant no harm, "I mean no harm, I'm just camping here for the night."

The Alpha watches him before shifting into his human form, his brown hair was shaggy as he continues to watch Geonhak, "We don't mean any harm either. As long as we both can see that."

The Omega was hesitant to shift behind his Alpha, but he did so. Geonhak took notice of their packs, and it clicks in his mind that these two are runners like him. They weren't very large, but they were packed full of supplies no doubt.

He also took notice of the Omega. Sure he was beautiful, his striking platinum hair stood out amongst his other features but not as much as the dead, numb look in his eyes. He didn't stare for too long, but judging from how the Omega looks, he can tell they've had a rough journey. He gestures to the fire, "You two look like you've been traveling quite a bit, come. Share my fire."

The Alpha studied him once more with his large brown eyes before nodding, "Thank you...?"

Geonhak paused. He never even thought of a cover-up name before he ran off. Here he has been gone for so long and he hasn't once thought of a name people can call him to hide his identity. A name suddenly popped into his mind, he wasn't sure how it did, but it was a familiar name. One he decided to use, "Leedo. My name is Leedo."

"Leedo," the Alpha repeats, dressing, and the Omega follows suit, "I'm Youngjo, and this is my mate Hwanwoong."

Geonhak... Leedo nods once in greeting, moving aside so the strangers could share the fire with him. He suddenly thought about food for them and chuckles slightly, "I wish I would have known I would be having guests tonight. I would've saved some of my rabbit I killed earlier."
