Seokjin looks up. His ears twitch into every direction. He heard rustling.

Who was it?

What was it?

He nervously prepares his body to flee. His eyes are wide. Unlike most deer centaurs, he doesn't like to engage in a fight.

"Ya! Seokjin!"

The deer screams at the sudden voice and the younger centaur that suddenly jumps up from the bushes.

Both arms in the air and four hooves clatter on the ground as he almost falls over in laughter.

Seokjin sighs out in anger and stomps his hoof to the ground, pulling the centaur by his ear.

"Do you have any idea how you're abusing my instinct?!"

"Yeah!" He laughs. "But it's so funny to see you scared!"

Seokjin huffs and crosses his arms, his ears tilting down.

"Jungkook, please. Enough." He sighs. "What if a wolf snuck up on me? Or a fox? What would I have done if I expected it to be another trick?"

"Come on!" Jungkook smiles. "You have these big buddies!"

Seokjin frowns as the younger taps on his antlers.

"You know they're useless to me." Seokjin snarls. He turns on his hooves. "We're prey."

Jungkook's smile falls into a sad frown at his words. Sure, he knows they are. To any animal with canines they're food.

But life is something beautiful! And they have protection. Why won't Seokjin use his antlers?

Seokjin hops away, Jungkook follows nervously.

Their group isn't all too big. A few females and males in their group. Seokjin is the oldest, but he's weak.

He never uses his antlers and would rather run and risk being eaten than engage in a fight and survive.

What is wrong with him?

"Jin...?"

"Did Jungkook scare you again?"

"What happened?"

Many of his kind are worried for him. They think that he's weak. That he can't handle anything.

He was searching for food, but not even that can be done without worrying.

He sighs. "I came to bring Jungkook. Keep an eye on him. I'm going to look for good plants." He says, glaring at the younger.

As one of the females nods, Seokjin turns on his hooves and sprints back into the forest. He can do something.

"Would you look at that."

"What?"

"Your canines are all bloody! You can't go and see the alpha like that!"

"You forgot that I'm not a wolf like you."

"Oh... Right, you cheetahs don't have alphas."

"Give me a break." A third voice mumbles. "All you've been doing is blab the ears off my head. I've been dying to go back to sleep."

Two deep growls respond to him.

"Listen here, Yoongi." The wolf growls. "You may be older than us both but I can still tear you to shreds!"
