The younger alpha's eyes widened. Youngjo and Hwanwoong had always kept their past so private, only sharing bits and pieces of their old pack life every so often. He had never heard about their start. Leedo stayed silent and just carefully listened to the older.

"But things with Hwanwonog and I are much different than before. Our bond is still strong, and I love him just the same. I'm just not sure if I have done everything that I should have for him, to help him. He's only now starting to open up again since Keonhee has joined us, but he's still so closed off in comparison to how he used to be."

When Youngjo realized that he was rambling, he shook his head and flashed a bright smile. "Anyways, just remember that everything will be okay, no matter what." He patted Leedo's shoulder one more time before disappearing toward his and Hwanwoong's hut.

The conversation between him and Leedo sparked a trail of thoughts that he always tried his best to avoid. Though Hwanwoong has been displaying so much improvement, there are still certain aspects of him and their relationship that have remained stagnant.

Later that evening, Youngjo was shown just that.

Hwanwoong had appeared so cheerful when he returned to their hut after a long day under the bright sun, tending to their garden with Keonhee. Working in the ever growing garden seems to brighten Hwanwoong's mood every day. He loves it.

He sits next to Youngjo on the furs. "So I was thinking..." Hwanwoong started, "Could we all make another trip to the marketplace tomorrow?" He bit his lip after his request. "There are some other crops Keonhee was discussing with me, and I'd like to try to grow them, but we'd have to look at the nearby pack market."

"Yeah, I think that would be a great idea, love." He pulled his omega closer to him and pecked his temple, letting his lips linger there a little longer than normal.

Hwanwoong smiled brightly, a grin that Youngjo had really missed seeing on the smaller. "Thank you, alpha!"

Now that made Youngjo's heart thump harshly in his chest. It's been so long since Hwanwoong had called him that, and if he's being honest... it's been so long since they've...

"Woong..." Younjo whispered darkly, leaning down to leave a few sensual pecks on his mate's shoulder.

Hwanwoong tensed at the alpha's tone, but he didn't stop him. "...-jo..." was all Hwanwoong could let out between gasps as the older started to leave a trail of kisses and love bites up his collarbones and neck, giving the omega's knee a squeeze before moving his hand more upwards.

Youngjo took that as his okay to keep going. His wolf was growing excited at the idea of being intimate with his mate. He quickly pinned Hwanwoong's shoulders to the ground, maneuvering his body to hover over the omega's.

He looked into Hwanwoong's beautifully wide eyes, seeing the love reciprocated in them. He leaned down to connect their lips.

What he didn't see in Hwanwoong's eyes and didn't feel through their bond, was Hwanwoong's hesitation. Youngjo's wolf and his own arousal were starting to cloud his discernment.

When Hwanwoong returned the kiss, Youngjo continued, letting the kiss turn more heated, opening his mouth wider. He ran his hands up Hwanwoong's sides, letting them slip under the hem of his baggy shirt.

The alpha's arousal was apparent by the strong smell of sage infiltrating the hut, and his hardened lower region which he gently let brush against Hwanwoong's thigh, in search of any sort of friction.

But that's when it all had to stop.

In a panic, Hwanwoong's eyes widened as he pulled away from their kiss, shoving his alpha away from him. "No! Don't!" He shrieked.

That's when Youngjo finally came to, and he had realized what he had done. In front of him, Hwanwoong shook in fear, but his eyes were what really worried him.

They held that blank look again. The look he'd hoped had finally gone away.

Hwanwoong scooted himself further away from his mate, wrapping his arms around his torso, his lemongrass scent had turned even more sour. "I don't want to."

Youngjo stood, but he didn't move toward the younger. He pulled down his shirt to cover his obvious bulge. "I- fuck. Hwanwoong, I-... I'm so sorry. I wasn't thinking straight. I got carried away, I just-" He didn't know what else to say, too ashamed of himself. He let the lust control his actions before thinking of how it would affect his mate.

Not knowing what else to do, he turned around and left the hut, slamming the door shut behind him.

See... Who's he to give advice on relationships, when he has no idea what he's doing.
