Chapter 2: Awkward Hello

The man in front of him looked so nervous, but trying to stand strong. Jimin reaches out his hand, "I'm Jimin, and welcome to my home. Please come in and rest a bit. By the way, what is your name?" The man slowly raises his eyes to meet his own, and takes Jimins hand. "Im Jungkookie, but my friends just call me Kookie." He said that with such sadness, that Jimin had to hold himself back from hugging the stranger. He looked like a kicked puppy in every since of the phrase and something in Jimin made his just want to protect him. He could tell he wasnt an alpha and he wasnt a rogue either. He takes Kookie to the kitchen and sits him at the table. He places the stew and a bowl in front of kookie and watches with happiness has Kookie has bowl after bowl. "I won't bombard you with questions other than are you ok? If you need anything let me know. You are more than welcome to stay a few days if you would like. I have a spare bedroom and plenty of clothes you can borrow." Kookie shook his head as if he was thinking about it. He wasn't going to lie, he was thinking about it. The man in front of his was beautiful inside and out. He could tell his wasn't like most wolves, he actually cared about others and didn't seem to go around starting fights for no reason. It might would be nice to stay a few days, at least if he was here, maybe his old pack wouldn't find him. He couldn't go back there, the way they treated him, he couldn't take that anymore. Jimin started to clear the dishes as Kookie watched him move around the kitchen and he couldn't help but smile. Jimin caught the smile and had to stop himself from uwuing at the others adorable bunny smile. "If you would like to shower, I can show you where the bathroom is, and get you some fresh clothes. Kookie quickly agreed, a shower sounded amazing. Jimin got him set up and left him to it, relaxing back on the couch with his book. Kookie emerged sometimes later and Jimin had just started to doze again when he could feel his presence in the room. Kookie was sitting across from him in one of this very comfy chairs, looking like he could fall asleep right there. It was getting late at this time and Jimin decided it might be time to get the sleepy bunny to bed. He proceeded to shut the house down, locking all the windows shut and showing Kookie where his bed would be. Told him if he needed anything his room was just down the hall. " Don't hesitate to ask for anything ok, your my guest and I want you happy here. Kookie couldn't get over how nice and excepting Jimin was to a complete stranger. He found himself wondering, how someone like Jimin had no mate, but thought better of asking. It was none of his business, maybe Jimin was just waiting for his "one". Most werewolves had one true mate, they were just hard to find, but when you did, you knew it. Maybe now instantly but it wouldnt take long. Jimin found himself laying in bed wondering what Kookies story was, why did he look so scared when he first arrived. Jimin couldn't figure out where it was coming from but he found himself just wanting to protect Kookie, keep him there with him. He finally turns out the light and falls asleep. He is awoken some time later to Kookie howling at what sounded like pain. He shot out of bed and down the hall. He found kookie having a nightmare, which from the sounds of it was horrible. He wakes him, letting him know he is safe and no one is going to hurt him here. Kookie latches onto his shirt, not letting go, inhaling the scent of the alpha currently holding him. "You're ok, I promise, I wont let whoever hurt you come near you again." He could hear the sniffling from Kookie and realized he was crying from fear. He suppressed the growl that built up in his throat. "Bunny would you like to sleep with me, I promise I will keep you safe". He found the most beautiful eyes staring back at him, with a hint of relief, Kookie shaking his head yes. Jimin stood, taking his hand and leading him back to his room. Kookie instantly relaxed being surrounded by the alphas scent. His head hit the pillow and he was out in a matter of minutes. He had the blanket hugged to his chest just under his nose so he could smell Jimin. Jimin himself laid back down, but he wasn't sure if he should just lay beside Kookie or fight his urge to hold him in his arms. As he laid down, kookie decided for him, by rolling over and curling himself into Jimins side. He slept that night better than he had in almost a year, with no fear of what the morning would hold.
