New extremely late chapter!!! Enjoy~~<3

***

   Yoongi only had to wait a couple of minutes before a black Ford F-150 (I'm sorry I had to) pulled into the relatively private parking lot. A snort snuck his way out of him at the sight of the giant American truck. How the hell had you even gotten that monstrosity into the country? The window to the truck rolled down and you waved him over cheerfully. Yoongi took a deep breath in and out before walking over and climbing inside. "Hello, Yoongi," you greeted warmly with a small smile. Yoongi slightly blushed.

   "Hi, Y/N."

   "S-So—um . . ." you laughed nervously as you took your truck out of park and began pulling out of the parking lot. "How're you feeling?"

   "Like shit, but I always feel like that so it's fine."

   "Don't talk about yourself like that," you scolded while briefly glancing away from the road to glare at him. Yoongi lifted his hands in defense.

   "I was only answering you question, pup."

   "Whatever," you huffed with a scowl. Yoongi smirked.

   With the small talk coming to a close, an awkward silence decided to make itself present. You could see Yoongi uncomfortably shifting around in his seat out of the corner of you eye. "Should I roll the windows down? Is my scent overwhelming you?" you wearily questioned. Yoongi's surprised eyes snapped over to you.

   "Oh—no! There's nothing wrong with your scent." He paused for a moment before continuing shyly. "It's actually quite nice." Your face warmed up and you bit your lip in an attempt to fight off a smile.

   "Then relax, Yoon. You're save here." Yoongi blushed and stared down at his hands shyly.

   A few minutes later, Yoongi looked up just as you passed right by the complex you lived in. Yoongi stared out the window confusedly. "Y/N? We passed your house."

   You glanced at him. "I know." Yoongi grew even more confused.

   "Why?"

   "I thought that we could go on a date." You looked at him again. "Can we go on a date?" Yoongi turned red and sputtered in surprise. You were beating him to his courting job! "Of course, we don't have to go anywhere heavily populated; I know too many scents is going to overwhelm you even more. I was thinking that you and I could go to a nice park and take a walk on the trail. How does that sound?" Yoongi was feeling shy with the way you were speaking. He'd never had a woman—or anyone—ever speak to him in such a loving manner. His first girlfriend was a mistake; there wasn't even an ounce of love or communication in that relationship. But with you, he was allowed to be himself before you both even officially mated.

   "I would love that," Yoongi replied softly. From the corner of his eye, he saw you smile, causing him to blush even more.

   "Good. I was looking at parks to go to before you called and I found a really beautiful one that we could go to, but it's a bit far. So try and get some sleep, okay?" Yoongi nodded and, feeling a bit bold, laid his head on your arm on the armrest. He faintly heard you aww! at him right before sleep immediately overtook him.

   You cooed at the sleeping body of your mate once you pulled into the parking lot of the park. He was snuggled up so cutely into your arm and you didn't want to wake him up. In his deep sleep, rumbles of content filled the truck up warmly, causing your heart to flutter. You had the cutest mate ever, that was for sure. "Yoongi," you softly whispered while running your unoccupied hand through his hair. "Wake up, love. We're here." Yoongi groaned and buried his nose further into your arm, inhaling your scent. "We're at the park, Yoongi. Don't you want to get some fresh air with me?"

   "Mm," Yoongi hummed.

   "Then you're going to have to get up." Yoongi groaned again before forcing himself to sit up. He seemed extremely disoriented—he was blinking rapidly with his lips slightly parted. It was extremely endearing to see.

   "I'm trying to wake up; hold on," your mate mumbled. You chuckled and reached up to pet him again, immediately causing the rumbling to start up again. "Keep at it and I'll be sleep again." You chuckled again before retracting your hand and climbing out of the car. "Got damn, how the hell did you even get this monstrosity into the country?" Yoongi moaned once he was out.

   "Oh, Woomin's parents got it for me as a late birthday present!" you exclaimed. "Imported it all the way from America. Ain't that crazy?" Yoongi looked at you with a weird expression on his face.

   "Yeah. Amazing." You shot him a look, but he just smirked.

   "Are you ready to go?" you asked after another few moments of silence.

   "Mm," Yoongi hummed. You chuckled a bit at his nonverbal response.

   "Then let's go!"

   The two of you started down the dark path only illuminated by soft lights in a comfortable silence. Mother nature decided to be up and about; birds were trilling their bedtime songs, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Feeling happy with the peacefulness, you began to whistle along with the birds, making yourself giggle with how out of tune you sounded compared to the birds. Yoongi stared at you throughout it all, a loving expression unknowingly plaster on his face. He looked down at your hand longingly. It was softly swinging back and forth along with your footsteps, just begging to be held. Yoongi looked back up to your face and his eyes widened in surprise when he caught you looking at him as well. His face warmed up and he blinked a few times before looking away in embarrassment. A nudge caused him to look back over to you. Your hand was outstretched to him, a warm invitation to physical contact. Yoongi gulped in anticipation and glanced up into your eyes for a split second before manning up and accepting you hand.

   A smile spread across your face at the feeling of Yoongi's hand and at the fact that he had inched closer to you. "Cute," you whispered into the open air. Yoongi's head snapped over to look at you.

   "I am not cute! I am Min Yoongi, the heir and future alpha of the Daegu—" Yoongi abruptly cut himself off and froze mid-step. You stopped along with him and watched quietly as Yoongi attempted to calm himself down. Any sudden movements could cause him to freak out. After a few minutes, he seemed to significantly calm down. When his breathing evenly mellowed out, you deemed it safe to step forward. His eyes lazily followed your movements, his grip on your hand slightly tightening.

   "Honey? Are you feeling better now?" you cautiously asked. Yoongi didn't nod or shake his head and instead stepped up to you and cuddled into your chest. You froze in surprise at the physical affection before lovingly returning it.

   "Don't wanna talk 'bout it," Yoongi mumbled into your neck. You nodded and tightened your grip on him, calming pheromones surrounding the both of you like a blanket, overpowering the previous remnants of Yoongi's distress.

   "Would you like to keep walking?" you asked after a few more minute of soft cuddling. Yoongi nodded before pulling away and grabbing your hand once more.

   For the rest of the date, you and Yoongi shared secrets about yourselves and told each other stories. You laughed and smiled and generally had a great time with each other. The two of you stayed for another hour and a half before decided to leave. Yoongi didn't want to go home, so he rode with you to your house and slept on your couch, the both of you not quite ready to share a bed.

   That night, you laid in your bed contently while listening to Yoongi's soft breathing in the other room. It made you feel so happy that Yoongi was beginning to open up to you. A burst of excitement suddenly shot through you, and you quietly squealed and thrashed around in your bed. Your dreams were coming true! You and your mate were finally getting to know each other. A sigh left your lips and you turned over on your side. True happiness really was possible for you.

   Right?
