The waterfall hid the entrance to the cave from outside. No one comes here at midnight anyway. No one dares to. The water hides a prayer circle that should not touch the moonlight.

September 1, 23 years ago
The waterfall hid the entrance to the cave from outside. No one comes here at midnight anyway. No one dares to. The water hides a prayer circle that should not touch the moonlight.
All around, candles are lit, illuminating the cave with its orange flames. An omega woman sits in the middle of the circle marked with red powder that stains her white clothes. She seems to be meditating, only her eyes aren't closed.
Her irises turned white, as it moved, not focusing on anything, almost like her consciousness was elsewhere.
All of a sudden, strong winds break past the waters, and the bright light of the full moon shone past the entrance, disrupting the omega’s concentration.
All of a sudden, strong winds break past the waters, and the bright light of the full moon shone past the entrance, disrupting the omega’s concentration.
The wind was so strong, it put out almost every candle lit, except for the ones lit inside the circle. The young 6 year old alpha boy gripped his father’s arm out of fear.
“Fear not, son. She will wake up soon.”, his father whispered.
“Fear not, son. She will wake up soon.”, his father whispered.
The candles flickered as the omega’s eyes turned back to the deep black that it was. She closed her eyes, forehead furrowing as she focused on something, sweat falling down her forehead before she opened her eyes to stare at the flame in front of her .
“A birth, on this same day, 3 years from now, when the full moon will be the brightest. With a soul so powerful, it will almost take the mother’s life. Blessed by air and earth, but with fire residing in the veins. An immaculate birth.”
“Is it -” The alpha feared completing the sentence.
“Yes”, the omega sighed. “An alpha boy. He will be the other half.”
She looks up her alpha, then to her son beside him. Her hands moved, cradling her baby bump, the life inside her kicking his legs.
“Yes”, the omega sighed. “An alpha boy. He will be the other half.”
She looks up her alpha, then to her son beside him. Her hands moved, cradling her baby bump, the life inside her kicking his legs.
She could go into labor any day now. She rubs her hands over the part of her belly that was kicked from inside.
“He will be born, not here, but will grow up learning about our land. And he will set foot on Jalat at the age of 19. We must prepare, or else, he will be reason for our downfall”
She stood up, walking towards her alpha and her son. As soon as she stepped out of the circle, the remaining candles got put out.
The young boy blinked a few times, trying to see through the now completely dark cave.

When his eyes finally adjusted to moonlight in the cave, the light blue hue made silhouettes of everyone there visible. He looked up at his mother, who now stood in frond of him, looking down at him.
She smiled at him.
"We will be prepared", she said placing a hand on his head.

CHAPTER 1
Jungkook never liked the woods. Don't get him wrong, he loved the nature. He loved how calm it can be, how different it can be from his busy life in Seoul. He loved how peaceful long rides through deserted roads overlooking the evening sea makes him feel.
He used to love the hikes he went on with his parents when he was young, loved it when the warm rays of the morning sun fell on his skin and he could smell the flowers that bloomed to reach for the first rays of sun, just like him.
His mother once whispered in his ears that the flowers bloomed to see him, to see who this boy was, who was prettier than them. He believed her like the naïve 7 year old he was. He stood proud, puffed his chest out and said he only wanted to be called a flower then.
Two years later, he grew out of the name. But his mother still called him her flower, even when the alpha turned 18 and moved to Seoul to enter his dream college.
He was so embarrassed when she called him a flower in front of his friends when they came to his home in Busan for holidays.
Now, even as a 19 years old, he trusted her every word. Every word she had ever said, he had memorized like a mantra.
Jungkook believed her when she said his stars told her that he will once rule the land with the most beautiful and most powerful omega beside him when he was twelve.
He believed her when she said that the only voice in your head that you should listen to is the ones that sound like your loved ones. Since then, he has only listened to voices that sound like his mom’s.
Maybe that's why he also believed her when she said to be afraid of the dark, for the dark hides people's faces and you fail to see the evil in their eyes that the shadows hide.
#taekook #taekookau #vkook
So it was never the woods that Jungkook didn't like, it was the dark. He didn't like how the darkness made the woods on either side of the road look a little scary now.
So it was never the woods that Jungkook didn't like, it was the dark. He didn't like how the darkness made the woods on either side of the road look a little scary now.
He watched the street lights spread a little light to the otherwise pitch black road as the bus moved through the narrow roads in the woods. He looked at the time.
3 AM.
One more hour and he will get off to a place he has heard a thousand stories of, but never seen.
Jalat.
3 AM.
One more hour and he will get off to a place he has heard a thousand stories of, but never seen.
Jalat.
It almost feels like going back home, the only thing is that he knows nothing of his so-called family. They never asked for his mom or him. Never came looking for their daughter when she has been gone for twenty one years.
But this is what his mother wished with her last breath and he would do anything his mother wanted. He will do what he has to do and leave as soon as possible. He got on the bus around midnight. They said he will reach Jalat by 4am.
He slept for around four hours but now his neck hurts from sleeping in an awkward position and his nerves have almost completely taken over his tiredness. He was wide awake.
He could read a book but reading in buses always made him nauseous. He took out his phone to hear some music earlier but his phone was dead. So he was left staring out through the window, getting lost in thoughts.
#taekook #taekookau
Jungkook looked forward to see the place his mother grew up. The land imprinted by her tiny footsteps, to see the place and meet the people that she loved all her life, the same place which tried to chain her down, whose shackles she had to break and leave.

Jungkook was brought out of his thoughts when he felt the person seated next to him stir awake.
The young alpha looked around his age, maybe a year or so older. Jungkook went back to staring out the window, only to turn back when he heard the other ask,
“What time is it?”
The young alpha looked around his age, maybe a year or so older. Jungkook went back to staring out the window, only to turn back when he heard the other ask,
“What time is it?”
His voice was hoarse from sleep but it looked like he wasn't struggling with his neck the way Jungkook did when he woke up. Maybe he was used to it.
“It's 3:20am.”
“Good. That means I can get off in 30 minutes or so. My back is killing me. My name’s Yugyeom by the way”
“It's 3:20am.”
“Good. That means I can get off in 30 minutes or so. My back is killing me. My name’s Yugyeom by the way”
Oh. Maybe the alpha was going to Jalat too. Jungkook couldn't help but ask him.
“My name’s Jungkook. Are you going to Jalat too?”
“Yes I am”, Yugyeom said, squirming into a more comfortable position before snapping up his head at Jungkook to look at him, wide eyes.
“My name’s Jungkook. Are you going to Jalat too?”
“Yes I am”, Yugyeom said, squirming into a more comfortable position before snapping up his head at Jungkook to look at him, wide eyes.
“Wait. Too? Are you going to Jalat as well?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Why?” Yugyeom almost sounds accusatory.
Jungkook was confused. What was special about him getting off at Jalat?
“Why what? Why am I going to Jalat? I don't see how that's any of your business.”
“Yes, I am.”
“Why?” Yugyeom almost sounds accusatory.
Jungkook was confused. What was special about him getting off at Jalat?
“Why what? Why am I going to Jalat? I don't see how that's any of your business.”
“Sorry man", Yugyeom said apologetically, "That came out harsher than I meant. I was wondering why you would be visiting my place. Almost no one new comes to the village. It's usually just merchants and old people. You look my age. So I was curious. Are you from Seoul?”
“I am from Busan. I study art at SNU.”
“Good for you man. I study photography in Yonsei.”
They were silent for a while, before Jungkook's curiosity got the best of him.
“What do you mean no one ever comes to Jalat?”
“Good for you man. I study photography in Yonsei.”
They were silent for a while, before Jungkook's curiosity got the best of him.
“What do you mean no one ever comes to Jalat?”
“Oh. It means exactly what I said. This old forgotten village in Daegu? No one new ever comes here and for the most part, no one goes out as well. People usually attend schools in or around the place. I might be the first person to go to college in Seoul, like ever.”
Jungkook has heard stories from his mom that even as a child, he thought were a little over the top. He couldn’t imagine people still living like that.
“Why don’t people leave from Jalat? Are they still traditional like that? With the whole pack culture and all?”
“Why don’t people leave from Jalat? Are they still traditional like that? With the whole pack culture and all?”
“I am telling you kook, the people here are crazy. They only care about their traditions and their old generation beliefs that are so outdated but people still follow blindly. Sometimes I just wanna scream a big fuck you at that cursed lake.
#taekook #taekookau #vkook #vkookau
Everyone thinks that this so-called "curse" ", Yugyeom air-quoted, "will be lifted once they make that poor omega their new luna. Hyung is not that older than us. Only a year or two. Sometimes I wish he would also escape like Jiyo-”

“Shut it boy!”
Jungkook and Yugyeom jumped from where they were whispering together to turn to the seat opposite to them, where a man who looks like he’s in his early 50s is glaring at them, his eyes on Yugyeom. Yugyeom immediately relaxed.

“Don't worry kook, that's my dad. He came to pick me up from the railway station”
“Oh”, Jungkook said.
“Yea. Now don't shut me up dad, you should know by now that all this is a huge load of bullshit.”
“Oh”, Jungkook said.
“Yea. Now don't shut me up dad, you should know by now that all this is a huge load of bullshit.”
“It's not.” The man argued.
He straightened up and stretched from where he was sitting hunched up. He sighed as he leaned back to his seat.
“You were not there to see the beginning of all this boy.
He straightened up and stretched from where he was sitting hunched up. He sighed as he leaned back to his seat.
“You were not there to see the beginning of all this boy.
You children saw the big city and got blinded by the technologies and whatnot, but that doesn't mean that the old magic and the bonds intertwining the village together disappeared. It's still there. Its balance got disrupted and there hasn’t been a luna for over 40 years.
#taekook #taekookau #vkook #vkookau
All those omegas left the village to suffer. But now, in a few months, omega Taehyung will rise as our new luna and everything will be restored.”
The old man said with a hopeful smile.

The old man said with a hopeful smile.
Jungkook felt the tension build in him, feeling the weight of his mother’s actions, how it affected the whole village.
He heard Yugyeom snort beside him.
He heard Yugyeom snort beside him.
“You left the part where every omegas who rose as luna, died after 10 years or so. It's a good thing all those omegas left.
I'm telling you, kook, if omega Kim Jiyoung-ssi would have stayed, she would have had the same fate as everyone else. She would have died after 10 years as well. She must be living her best life outside this hell right now. the pack is just a little butt-hurt”
His father looked a little saddened by hearing that.
“I hope so too.”, he sighed, “Even though the lack of luna still disturbs the village, no one blames Jiyoung or the other for leaving. Anyone could see she was miserable. She wanted to travel places and live every moment free.
“I hope so too.”, he sighed, “Even though the lack of luna still disturbs the village, no one blames Jiyoung or the other for leaving. Anyone could see she was miserable. She wanted to travel places and live every moment free.
She wanted that fairytale love with her lover. The only person who didn't see it was her mother, Kim Misook-ssi. Jeon was a good friend too. They will be happy”.
Jungkook smiled to himself.
Jungkook smiled to himself.
This had been his eomma’s biggest fear, the village hating her for what she did. He was glad that was not the case. For the most part.
“She did”
“What?”
Both Yugyeom and his dad looked at him puzzled.
“Live a good life, I mean. She did.”, Jungkook whispered.
Both Yugyeom and his dad looked at him puzzled.
“Live a good life, I mean. She did.”, Jungkook whispered.
They were silent for a few a while, the oldest among them looking Jungkook up and down. Recognition flashed across his face after a while.
“How did I not see it before? You have the same eyes as your mom. Are you truly Jihoon’s child?”
“How did I not see it before? You have the same eyes as your mom. Are you truly Jihoon’s child?”
“Yes,” Jungkook whispered.
“I am Jeon Jungkook. Jeon Jihoon and Kim Jiyoung’s son.”
“I am Jeon Jungkook. Jeon Jihoon and Kim Jiyoung’s son.”
The bus came to a sudden halt. He looked out at the sidewalk to see the nameboard.
JALAT
He has arrived.
JALAT
He has arrived.
__________🪔🪔__________
Jungkook stepped off the bus holding his luggage. It was still really dark, a new moon night. He looked around. The fresh cool air of Daegu is a welcome change from the warmer air in Seoul.
Surrounded by forests, Jalat is exactly what a remote village in the inner part of Daegu sounds like. His mother always had a thousand words to describe her beloved village. He looked at others who got off along with him. Six people got off the bus along with him.
His eyes wandered to the family that got off. The alpha was holding the omega’s hand while with the other, he was holding up a baby omega girl, who had her head on her father’s shoulder. She sleepily looked up at Jungkook, who immediately made a funny face at her.
She blinked up at him smiling, before turning her head to nuzzle against her dad’s neck.
“I assume you are going to the Kim mansion, Little Jeon?”
Yugyeom’s dad’s voice broke Jungkook from watching the family, now walking away to turn to him.
“Yes, ajussi.”
“I assume you are going to the Kim mansion, Little Jeon?”
Yugyeom’s dad’s voice broke Jungkook from watching the family, now walking away to turn to him.
“Yes, ajussi.”
“Call me uncle Sungho, little jeon. But we are going to the opposite side of the mansion. Go with Donghyun here, he is going past the mansion. He can show you the way”
Sungho said, pointing at the old beta standing beside him. Almost as tall as himself, Donghyun looked like he could be a bored high school teacher or a cashier at a bank.
Jungkook smiled at the man who returned it enthusiastically, almost too energetic for 4 am.

“Let me lead the way for you, jeon boy. I will take you to the right place.”
”Just so you know, he tends to forget things”, Yugyeom, who was standing beside him, whispered.
”Just so you know, he tends to forget things”, Yugyeom, who was standing beside him, whispered.
“What?” Jungkook asked.
“Just keep reminding him that you want to go to kim's mansion, all right? See you in the morning.”
With that said, the two walked in the opposite direction and Jungkook started following Donghyun in the opposite direction, towards the Kim mansion.
“Just keep reminding him that you want to go to kim's mansion, all right? See you in the morning.”
With that said, the two walked in the opposite direction and Jungkook started following Donghyun in the opposite direction, towards the Kim mansion.
__________🪔🪔__________
The two have been walking for around five minutes now and Donghyun hasn't taken a break from talking.
“As I was saying, for generations, everything and everyone in Jalat has been connected with each other as a whole. And it is our luna that holds the bond together. The luna is seen as purity and prosperity personified.
They will never mate because they are considered as the moon goddess in her human form. Luna will always be treated with respect. Luna blesses our fields for good harvest and our people for good life. Our life in Jalat will always be in tune with the Luna.”
Jungkook has heard all this from his mother but it's still fascinating to hear from someone who has lived their entire life in Jalat.
It all sounds like something you would read in ancient books about wolf history or something. He couldn't wrap his head around the fact that people still live by it.
#taekookau #taekookau #vkook #vkookau
“So this Omega never marries?”
“No, Luna never marries or mates. And no one sees them through those eyes.”
“So like nuns?”
“You can say that”
Interesting.

“You can say that”
Interesting.
“And this has been going on, even now?”
“Yes, the pack takes this very seriously. But since the curse, everything has been going downhill.”
Jungkook turned to look at the beta.
”What curse?”
“Yes, the pack takes this very seriously. But since the curse, everything has been going downhill.”
Jungkook turned to look at the beta.
”What curse?”
“Well, six generations ago, a lot of our pack members passed away in the span of just two week out of the blue. No one found out the reason. There was no disease. And it wasn't murder. They all passed away in their sleep. With them, elder luna Kim Jisung also passed away.
People say the curse fell upon us since. Harvests died out, pandemic spread, the pack was hit with intense snow storms in winters and drought in summers.
But what really scared the pack was that no Luna lived more than 10 years or so ever since.
But what really scared the pack was that no Luna lived more than 10 years or so ever since.
Almost every omega from the Kim family has pretty much become luna for the first three generations, before dying an untimely death. Only alphas in the Kim family married and all the omegas born would wait for their turn to be luna.
This went on for years but that cycle broke, two generations ago, when the elder omega Misook-ssi was found pregnant before her Luna ceremony.”
Grandmother.
Jungkook thought to himself.
Grandmother.
Jungkook thought to himself.
“She fell in love with a merchant who brought her dresses made of the finest silks. They mated in secret and once the village found out, they considered her a disgrace. But it all changed when she gave birth to an omega girl.
It has been generations since an omega from the Kim family has given birth, that too to an omega. People of Jalat believed this girl will finally lift the curse that has fallen on their pack.
Jiyoung-ssi grew up like a princess, loved by everyone. She was free spirited, outspoken and independent. It almost felt like she never wanted to be tied down in a small village.
It was proven right when the 20 year old omega fell in love with the new alpha in the village, Jeon Jihoon and eloped with him. He came to do his research on traditional customs in packs but he never believed in them.
He and jiyoung-ssi fell in love almost instantly and they left a day before her Luna ceremony.
As there was no other omegas left in Misook-ssi’s lineage, the descendant of Misook-ssi’s great grandmother's sister became the next luna in line .
But on the day of his luna ceremony, he drowned in the village lake.
But on the day of his luna ceremony, he drowned in the village lake.
Soon after, the 15 year old omega son of his alpha brother was promised to be the next luna. He was to be made the luna, once he turned 21.
But two years ago, on the day of his Luna ceremony, he went missing.
But two years ago, on the day of his Luna ceremony, he went missing.
#taekookau #taekook
Some say he too drowned like his uncle. Some say he left like Jiyoung. Noone knows.
And now his younger brother Taehyung will rise as the new luna, when he turns 21 in December.”
Some say he too drowned like his uncle. Some say he left like Jiyoung. Noone knows.
And now his younger brother Taehyung will rise as the new luna, when he turns 21 in December.”
Jungkook was getting a headache. This was too much information.
“Wait, so let me get this straight. Six generations ago, after the luna died, no luna has lived more than ten or twelve years?”
“Yes”
“Yes”
“And since then, you all have been sacrificing omegas from the Kim family, like some sacrifice?”
“Well if you put it like that -”
“And you thought just because an omega from the kim family gave birth to an omega child after years, she would somehow lift the curse?”
“Well if you put it like that -”
“And you thought just because an omega from the kim family gave birth to an omega child after years, she would somehow lift the curse?”
“Not exactly, but-”
“You do realize this is fucked up so many levels, right? What is this? A cult? And you were going to sacrifice my mom and now you're going to sacrifice some 21 year old omega too”
“You do realize this is fucked up so many levels, right? What is this? A cult? And you were going to sacrifice my mom and now you're going to sacrifice some 21 year old omega too”
“Wait, your mom?”
Donghyun stopped walking and turned to look at him, confused.
“Yes. my mother Jiyoung.”
“Wait, you are Jiyoung-ssi's son?”
“Yeah, I just told you that like 15 minutes ago.”
“Really? Wait, what was your name again?”
“What?”
“What?”
Donghyun stopped walking and turned to look at him, confused.
“Yes. my mother Jiyoung.”
“Wait, you are Jiyoung-ssi's son?”
“Yeah, I just told you that like 15 minutes ago.”
“Really? Wait, what was your name again?”
“What?”
“What?”
Jungkook stared at the other dumbfounded. Was this old beta messing with him?
‘Just so you know, he tends to forget things’. Jungkook remembered Yugyeom telling him this before parting.
Oh.
‘Just so you know, he tends to forget things’. Jungkook remembered Yugyeom telling him this before parting.
Oh.
So this is what Yugyeom meant when he said the beta forgets things. He literally forgets things!
Jungkook let out a long defeated sigh.
“Donghyun-ssi”, Jungkook started, as if talking to a small child, “I am jungkook. I came here to visit my mother's home, Kim's mansion.”
Jungkook let out a long defeated sigh.
“Donghyun-ssi”, Jungkook started, as if talking to a small child, “I am jungkook. I came here to visit my mother's home, Kim's mansion.”
“If you're going to Kim's mansion, then why are you coming with me?” Donghyun said matter of factly.
“What?”
“I'm going home. It's just around the corner”, he said pointing ahead.
“What?”
“I'm going home. It's just around the corner”, he said pointing ahead.
Jungkook was left gaping like a fish.
"If you wanted to go to kim’s mansion, you should have taken the right about ten minutes ago. Then walk another 30 minutes.”
"If you wanted to go to kim’s mansion, you should have taken the right about ten minutes ago. Then walk another 30 minutes.”
Jungkook groaned.
“Ajussi, I have been following you because you said you would take me to the mansion.” he felt like punching something. “Is there no other way?”
“Ajussi, I have been following you because you said you would take me to the mansion.” he felt like punching something. “Is there no other way?”
“Well, you can cut through these woods though. It will take you to the back of the mansion, in 10 minutes” He said, pointing to the woods to their side.
Jungkook gulped.
“This is all my fault. I shouldn't have come with you. I should've stayed at the bus stop till morning.”
Jungkook gulped.
“This is all my fault. I shouldn't have come with you. I should've stayed at the bus stop till morning.”
Jungkook could feel the headache kicking in.
“Can you please come with me through the woods to Kim's mansion?"
The beta looks horrified by the suggestion.
“Can you please come with me through the woods to Kim's mansion?"
The beta looks horrified by the suggestion.
“Boy, I don't think anyone with their right mind would go through the woods at this time. I'm sorry, I can't go with you. If you want you can go, take this.''
Donghyun opened his bag, searching around, and pulling out a flashlight.
Donghyun opened his bag, searching around, and pulling out a flashlight.
“You youngsters don't believe in things like this anyway. Just let the old man live.”
With that, Donghyun started walking hurriedly, crossing around the corner, moving out of sight.
With that, Donghyun started walking hurriedly, crossing around the corner, moving out of sight.
Jungkook sighed. He has two options now. One, he could go back another 10 minutes and walk for 30 minutes or he can just cross the woods and reach the mansion in 10 minutes.
“I guess my decision is right here,”
Jungkook said before turning and walking in towards the woods.
Jungkook said before turning and walking in towards the woods.
__________🪔🪔__________
Jungkook has been walking through the woods for five minutes now. The flashlight was getting dimmer as he moved forward, but walking forward was better than going back and around for 30 minutes. His bags were heavy and he was tired.
He can think of a lot of reasons why he shouldn't have stepped into these woods. Like how he couldn't even hear crickets chirping or any insects whatsoever. It was complete silence.
The high canopy of trees are hiding the sun's rays from reaching to the ground, that is if the sun has risen yet.
‘These are the grounds your ancestors have hunted on. Jungkook, where they built a civilization on’, Jungkook thought to himself, 'this is what is familiar to my wolf. Walking around at night, looking for prey, stuff like this is in my genes. Nothing can scare me. I am a rock.’
He smiled to himself completely ignoring the fact that the said rock has never been into the woods alone ever, that too at night.
Jungkook held his bag closer to his body as he moved more into the woods. The path was getting denser and thick vines hanging down the trees making it hard to see the path he was walking.
Jungkook suddenly halted in his steps, whipping his head to the side. He could swear he heard something. He could feel the fear again. He held his breath, trying to listen for any movement. It was silent for a while.
He let out the breath he was holding, almost relaxing but he became hyper aware again when he heard something move again. There was the sound of something moving and it was coming from his right. But it was not footsteps.
He pointed the flashlight to the direction he heard the noise from, but he couldn't catch anything moving.
To take a better look, he started heading to his right.
To take a better look, he started heading to his right.
A few steps ahead, he found what was making the noise. It was a sack. Something was moving inside that sack. It was some creature. Whatever it was, it wasn't big.
Jungkook kept his distance, waiting to hear a hiss or something, to make sure it was not some snake. but then he heard a bleat.
He immediately relaxed. It was just a lamb. He kept his bag and flashlight down, walking up to it, kneeling down to untie the sack. He opened the sack and rightly, there was white lamb in it.
The lamb immediately started struggling in his arms before running away. Jungkook was confused. Lamps are human friendly creatures. They weren't supposed to be scared of humans but for some reason this lamb ran away like it was scared of him. The whole thing was really weird.
What was a lamb doing inside the sack anyway? but then he realized there were two other open sacks lying on the ground. He took up the flashlight to get a better look of everything.
With terror, he realized that he was kneeling in a pile of blood. He touched it and realized it was warm blood. Warm lamb blood.
Jungkook felt his breath become faster. Whatever was happening, it wasn’t giving him a good feeling. He didn't want to be the next lamp to die, so he stood up, took his bag hurriedly and started running.
He was running in some direction, he wasn't even sure if it was the right one but he needed to get out of these woods as fast as possible. Jungkook is not sure how far he came before the flashlight turned off.
Jungkook felt the panic rise in him, hitting in the flashlight to make it work, again and again. He threw the flashlight down in frustration.
That's when he saw lights coming from his left. He felt his breath come out shakingly. He took a deep breath and started walking towards the light, his steps slow, careful not to make a sound.
The light led him to a clearing. Jungkook hid behind a big tree before peeking out to see what was happening. What he saw was unlike something he has ever seen in his life.

"There are a lot of good people in this world, flower."
The young mother said, lying in bed, holding her sleepy son close to her.
"There are a lot of good people in this world, flower."
The young mother said, lying in bed, holding her sleepy son close to her.
"A lot of people who help you up when you fall down, people who will put iron man booboo stickers on your knees when you scratch them, a lot of people who clap for you when you sing a song, who smile back when you smile at them.”
The young boy listened with wide eyes, cuddling up into his mom’s side, looking up at her.
“But, there are also bad people, baby. people who won't smile at you when others aren't around, who don't appreciate you enough when you pass a test, who tries to hurt you and the people you love, who tries to take away your toys.”
“My iron man toy too?”
“No flower, you will always take care of it right?”
“Yes”
“That's my strong baby. But there are people who do bad things to hurt others.”
“No flower, you will always take care of it right?”
“Yes”
“That's my strong baby. But there are people who do bad things to hurt others.”
“Were there people like that who you knew, eomma?”
“Oh yes baby. There were bad people who roam late at night in the woods of my village. they do things that others are not supposed to know, things that are not supposed to be done. They do things that no one else is supposed to witness.”
“Will I ever see something like that?”
“I hope not, flower. I hope not.”
“I hope not, flower. I hope not.”
__________🪔🪔__________
In the clearing, there were a lot of candles lit, all surrounding a circle that looked like it was drawn by blood. In the middle of the circle stood a small, petite omega.
He looked his age. His black hair matted over his forehead. His body was shivering and he was drenched. Sweat falling down his forehead, his white shirt sticking to his body. His plump lips trembling as tears continued flowing down his chubby cheeks.
His eyes kept moving without focusing on anything in particular. His face looked so sorrowful, almost like he was helpless in what was happening.
Jungkook looked around to see if anyone else was present there with him. When he was sure there was no one else, he walked towards the boy.
The Omega looked up at him once he was close enough. The omega closed his eyes tight almost like he was struggling. He started shaking all over again before gasping out loud.
“H-help”
The omega wheezed, almost choking on his words. Jungkook had to do something. He had to save him. He didn't know what to do.
The omega wheezed, almost choking on his words. Jungkook had to do something. He had to save him. He didn't know what to do.
He slowly stepped into the circle, reaching for the omega. Jungkook slowly placed a hand on the boy’s shoulder.
But suddenly something hard hit the back of his head, the blow so strong, his knees gave out and he fell down. The last thing he remembers is the omega screaming on top of his lungs before he lost consciousness.
__________🪔🪔__________
The alpha has been searching through the woods for what feels like hours now. He had to find him. This is all his fault. He swore to always keep an eye on the omega even though he was not supposed to ever show his face to him. He couldn't help it. He has loved him for years now.
Even after everything that happened, he couldn’t stay away. He still went by the omega’s home every night, just to make sure. But tonight, the familiar smell of red roses was missing and he lost it. He's been running around the village like a madman ever since.
Five minutes later, he found him in the clearing behind Kim’s mansion. His omega was passed out on the ground surrounded by almost burnt out candles. This is exactly what he feared. But then he saw someone else lying down unconscious beside him.
He quickly moved out of the clearing and ran towards the Omega. he knelt down beside him, gently lifting him up to pull him to his chest.
“I found you baby. I am here now. I'm so sorry. I should have taken care of you more”
The alpha said, tears falling down on the omegas. The omega was shivering but the alpha felt him relaxing in his embrace. He looked at the omega’s swollen face. He felt his heart break again.
He couldn’t imagine what his love was going through. Nobody deserved it. Especially not him. He closed his eyes, trying to remember how his omega’s giggles sounded, how happy he always was, how his smile would light up the alpha’s entire world.
The alpha looked up at the boy who was lying down unconscious beside him. An alpha. He has never seen him before. Who was he? What was he doing here?
Whoever he was, he knowingly or unknowingly saved his omega. The omega he was supposed to protect. He couldn't believe he failed him again.
He looked down when he felt the omega move in his arms.
He looked down when he felt the omega move in his arms.
“A-alpha”
The omega whispered in his sleep. His voice was so low that the alpha almost missed it. He pulled the omega closer, cradling his head closer to his scent gland. The omega always slept better like this.
“I am so sorry you have to go through all this baby. Don't worry now, your alpha will keep you safe.”
The omega kept on chanting alpha in his sleep.
The omega kept on chanting alpha in his sleep.
The alpha bend down to kiss the omega's forehead.
“That's right. I am here now, Jimin. You are safe. Alpha’s got you. Sleep now.”
“That's right. I am here now, Jimin. You are safe. Alpha’s got you. Sleep now.”

Guys i have started writing my second book, "Painted in your colours" today. its a light hearted fic. i wanted to put out something less mysterious, heavy and disturbing and write a more funny and happy(for the most part) fic and i am proud of it. please check it out as well.
P.S guys, I have something to say. A lot of the black magic elements in this fic has been inspired by an Indian movie, Anandabhadram, in my native language, Malayalam.
I should have mentioned my inspiration in the beginning itself but it completely left my mind when i was tweeting it so i thought i will mention it in the end.
I was busy making sure no other writer has the same plot but i forgot that not mentioning my inspiration could make it seem like i am trying to hide it. One of the readers pointed out the similarities with the movie.
Even though she was so kind about it, it made me realize that not saying the truth can be seen as i was hiding it. so i am mentioning it now.
if you guys are interested, the movie is on YouTube. The plot of Jalat will not be spoiled if you watch it now as only few scenes and character trait will be the same. the story goes in an entirely different direction.
I believe credits should always be given to the original creator and inspiration. i have loved the movie as a kid and i am happy to be the person to introduce it to people who have not watched it.
Love you guys.
Love you guys.

CHAPTER 2
13 year old Jungkook was playing video games in his bedroom when he heard a soft knock on his door.
“Are you free now, flower?” His mom asked, standing by the door.
“In a minute, eomma”, he said, not sparing her a glance.
“Are you free now, flower?” His mom asked, standing by the door.
“In a minute, eomma”, he said, not sparing her a glance.
“Okay, I'll be downstairs in the living room. Dad’s here.”
Jungkook whips his head to look at his mom, eyes wide.
“Dad's home?” Jungkook asked, failing to hide his excitement.
Jungkook whips his head to look at his mom, eyes wide.
“Dad's home?” Jungkook asked, failing to hide his excitement.
His mom nodded at him. That was all he had to see before he threw his headphones onto his bed and ran past her, down the stairs to meet his dad.
“Dad!” The young alpha exclaimed as he ran straight to his dad.
“Hey there, buddy!”
“Dad!” The young alpha exclaimed as he ran straight to his dad.
“Hey there, buddy!”
Jihoon opened his arms wide to catch his son who came barreling into his arms, hugging him tight.
“I missed you so much.”, Jungkook said, almost choking on his words.
“I missed you so much.”, Jungkook said, almost choking on his words.
Lately his dad hasn’t been home that often, always moving out of countries for his research and when he was back, he wasn’t home. He spent his time with his works, stayed in his office.
Jungkook missed him a lot. He missed the times that he used to spend with his mom and dad, doing things as a family, lately it's just been him and his mom.
“let's sit down, shall we?”, his father pointing to the coach.
His father sat on the couch and he sat next to him. His mom walked downstairs only to see the two men in her life cuddled together on the couch.
His father sat on the couch and he sat next to him. His mom walked downstairs only to see the two men in her life cuddled together on the couch.
She smiled as she sat next to his son, hugging the boy and his husband close. The young boy took a deep breath, relaxing into his parents’ sides.
“We have something to tell you son”, his father said after a while. Jungkook tensed up from where he was sitting, praying it wasn’t what he was thinking.
“What is it?”, he whispered.
“What is it?”, he whispered.
“Baby, fifteen years ago, I met the most beautiful omega I had ever seen, in a place I least expected and in the worst of circumstances.
But we fell in love and your mother left everything she had ever known, everything familiar to her to come with me, with dreams full of open skies and colorful life.” the alpha said, hugging his family close.
“Then, she made me the luckiest alpha ever, when she gave birth to you. She almost left me with you that day but she was a fighter.
She fought death and came back to us and I will forever love her for that. This family, you and your mom are everything to me and it's the same for her. You should know that I love you both so much.”
Jungkook looked up to see his mom biting her lip, trying not to make a sound, tears running down her cheeks.
“Why are you crying, eomma?"
He asked, failing to stop his own tears back. He looked up at his dad to see crying as well.
He felt something drop in his stomach.
“Why are you crying, eomma?"
He asked, failing to stop his own tears back. He looked up at his dad to see crying as well.
He felt something drop in his stomach.
“Guys, please don't tell me its finally happening”
He cried.
“Oh baby” his mother started crying as well.
“Baby I hope you understand what we are trying to say like a big boy, yeah?” His mother pleaded.
Jungkook found himself nodding.
He cried.
“Oh baby” his mother started crying as well.
“Baby I hope you understand what we are trying to say like a big boy, yeah?” His mother pleaded.
Jungkook found himself nodding.
“I have been so busy all the time. I am never home. I have been failing you and your mom for years now. You leave for school but your mom is always alone at home. She has been alone and she's been miserable.
I tried to balance our family and my works, but its clear that I still gives more importance to my job. Your mom does not deserve this.
It has come to a point where we don't love each other like a married alpha and Omega should, even though she is still the most important person in my life and vice versa. You and your mom will always be my number one priority but we fell out of love for each other.”
There it is.
Jungkook has been expecting this for a while now but imagining it and living it are two different things. He wanted to scream at his dad.
Jungkook has been expecting this for a while now but imagining it and living it are two different things. He wanted to scream at his dad.
He wants to throw a tantrum, make his father apologize to his mom and do something to make them love each other again, anything. But the truth is, he has seen it all.
He has heard his mom cry at nights when she thinks he was asleep. He has seen her look at other parents at school when his dad never showed up for meetings. she was miserable.
“What's gonna happen now?”, he asked, sniffling.
“We are getting a divorce, son.”
“Are you leaving me?” Young Jungkook asked, choking on his words.
“We are getting a divorce, son.”
“Are you leaving me?” Young Jungkook asked, choking on his words.
“Jungkook, it just means that your mom and I will not be together anymore. We no longer love each other but we still care for each other very much. She is still my best friend and you are the best thing that has happened to us. We will always be in your life.”
You will see a lot more of me now, son. I will put more effort into being a better father to you and a good friend to your mom. You will always see me.
Jiyoung and I didn't want our marriage to drag on, make both of us miserable to a point where we hate each other and that affects your life as well. You are everything to us.”
“Promise?”
“We promise, flower.” his mother said, smiling through her tears.
“Promise?”
“We promise, flower.” his mother said, smiling through her tears.
His dad hold him and his mom closer. Jungkook closed his eyes, trying to engrave the feeling into his mind, one last time.
“I love you both so much. Please, never leave me.” He said silently.
“I love you both so much. Please, never leave me.” He said silently.
“Never. But you have to wake up now”
“What?”
“Wake up”
“Wake up”
“What?”
“Wake up”
“Wake up”
__________🪔🪔__________
“Wake up”
“Wake up, Jungkook”
“Wake up”
Jungkook opened his eyes, staring up at the white ceiling of the room. He blinked a few times, adjusting to the lights coming from the windows next to his bed.
“Wake up, Jungkook”
“Wake up”
Jungkook opened his eyes, staring up at the white ceiling of the room. He blinked a few times, adjusting to the lights coming from the windows next to his bed.
He looked around to see Yugyeom and his dad seated next to his bed, both looking equally worried and Donghyun on the other side looking apologetic.
“What happened? Where am I?”, he said looking around.
Where was his bags? Where was he?
“What happened? Where am I?”, he said looking around.
Where was his bags? Where was he?
“How are you boy? How’s your head?”
Jungkook paused for a second, the pain on the back of his head finally registering, making him wince. He tried to sit up.
Jungkook paused for a second, the pain on the back of his head finally registering, making him wince. He tried to sit up.
Yugyeom stood up from where he was seated, helping him up, adjusting his pillow so he can lean back and sit more comfortably on what looks like a hospital single bed.
“What happened?”, Jungkook asked.
“What happened?”, Jungkook asked.
“I think we are supposed to ask you that Jungkook” Yugyeom said smiling, “we got a call from the village clinic earlier, asking if any of my friends came with me from Seoul yesterday, and when we asked why, they said they found a boy my age in front of their clinic, unconscious.
They didn't know who you were. They just assumed you must be my friend because they knew dad came to Daegu city to pick me up yesterday. We went to Donghyun-ssi to ask about you but he didn't remember a boy coming with him at all, to no one’s surprise.
He did say he wanted to come check on you as well after hearing what happened.
We left you with Donghyun-ssi but you are here in the clinic. What happened?”
We left you with Donghyun-ssi but you are here in the clinic. What happened?”
Jungkook took a moment to collect his thoughts.
In the meantime, Sungho passed him a mug full of hot coffee. Jungkook accepted it with both hands.

“Donghyun-ssi forgot that he was taking me to Kim's mansion”, he looked at the old beta, who looked so apologetic, “but we were almost 30 minutes far from there, so I decided to walk 10 minutes through the woods to reach the mansion”
“Oh god. No one walks through the woods when it is dark, Jungkook”, Sungho said, “I should have taken you to Kim’s mansion myself. I shouldn't have left you with Donghyun hyung, no offense to you though”
Sungho said looking at Donghyun.
Sungho said looking at Donghyun.
“No, I should have at least let him stay at my home till morning. I shouldn’t have left him for himself”
“But how did you end up here?”, Yugyeom asked.
“But how did you end up here?”, Yugyeom asked.
Jungkook tried to remember what all happened in the woods. Everything felt a little fuzzy. Jungkook took a few sips of the coffee in his hand.
"Oh my god! I remember.", Jungkook said after a while, placing the mug on the table beside the bed.
"There was something happening in the woods. I don't know how to explain it, I have never seen anything like that before. I don't know what I saw. It wasn't normal.
"There was something happening in the woods. I don't know how to explain it, I have never seen anything like that before. I don't know what I saw. It wasn't normal.
It was happening in the clearing in those woods. There was an omega there.”
The other three was shocked to hear this.
“An omega, at that time, in the woods?"
"Was the omega alone?”
The other three was shocked to hear this.
“An omega, at that time, in the woods?"
"Was the omega alone?”
“I didn't see anyone then. I thought he was alone. He was inside a circle surrounded by candles. It looked like he was under some influence.
He was crying for help but his words were choked up, almost like his body was trying to hurt him for trying to utter the words. I tried to help him but that was the last thing I remember. Someone hit me on the back of my head. I didn't see who it was.”
“How did you end up here then?”
“I don't know. I remember getting hit and waking up here. I don't know what happened to the omega too.”
“I don't know. I remember getting hit and waking up here. I don't know what happened to the omega too.”
“Whatever you saw there, it is not something that happens here, Jungkook. It's not something the villagers know. I don't think we would be able to explain anything to you, I'm afraid.”
What did he see then? Was it even real? Did he make all that up?
What did he see then? Was it even real? Did he make all that up?
A sudden knock on the door made everyone turn to the door. An omega woman in her late 20s came in.
“Good morning. I see you are awake. I am Lee Jihye. I am a nurse here at Jalat infirmary. We got to know that your name is jeon Jungkook. How are you feeling, Jungkook?”
“Good morning. I see you are awake. I am Lee Jihye. I am a nurse here at Jalat infirmary. We got to know that your name is jeon Jungkook. How are you feeling, Jungkook?”
“I am fine now Jihye-ssi.”
“You don't have a concussion, luckily. It will hurt a little for a while. You have been prescribed a few painkillers. Have them if your head hurts too much. Does it hurt anywhere else?”
“No”
“You don't have a concussion, luckily. It will hurt a little for a while. You have been prescribed a few painkillers. Have them if your head hurts too much. Does it hurt anywhere else?”
“No”
“Then you are good to go”, she said smiling, “You can leave anytime you want.”
“Have you seen my bags?” Jungkook asked, worried.
“Your bags are at the front desk.”
She said, before bowed politely and leaving.
“Have you seen my bags?” Jungkook asked, worried.
“Your bags are at the front desk.”
She said, before bowed politely and leaving.
“We can leave anytime you want”, Yugyeom said. “And this time, I will take you to Kim's mansion myself.”
__________🪔🪔__________
Jungkook and Yugyeom were waiting at the front for Jungkook’s bags. The two elders left a while ago, Sungho forcing Donghyun out of the door, who kept apologizing to the boy in bed over and over again.
The old beta finally remembered parts of last night, especially the part where he handed him the flashlight and kept on apologizing for putting Jungkook in this situation. They left after Sungho ordering jungkook to only leave after drinking the entire coffee.
They were sitting in the front when an alpha sat opposite them.
“Good morning Hoseok hyung.”, Yugyeom said “Why are you here? Is Yeonjun fine?”
“Good morning Hoseok hyung.”, Yugyeom said “Why are you here? Is Yeonjun fine?”
“Good morning Yugyeom. Yeonjun is fine. Thank you for asking. He has heavy morning sickness, but its common in the first trimester. I came here with my brother actually. He has been feeling a little under the weather this morning”
Yugyeom nodded in understanding.
Yugyeom nodded in understanding.
“Who is your friend over here?”
“My name is Jungkook”, Jungkook said, bowing down at the older alpha.
“My name is Jung Hoseok.” The alpha smiled brightly. “Are you Yugyeom’s friend from college? Did you come to visit our village?”
“My name is Jungkook”, Jungkook said, bowing down at the older alpha.
“My name is Jung Hoseok.” The alpha smiled brightly. “Are you Yugyeom’s friend from college? Did you come to visit our village?”
“Actually hyung,”, Yugyeom said, “We met yesterday on the bus. He was coming to Jalat to visit his mother’s home, Kim’s mansion.”
Hoseok’s smile vanished, his eyes turning darker.
“Who are you, Jungkook?”
Hoseok’s smile vanished, his eyes turning darker.
“Who are you, Jungkook?”
“I am Kim Jiyoung’s son, Jeon Jungkook, '' Jungkook said, watching as hurt and anger flash through the other alpha’s eyes. He wonders why.
“Why are you here? At jalat? Why now?”
Jungkook stared at the other’s eyes, trying to see what the other was thinking.
“I-”
“Why are you here? At jalat? Why now?”
Jungkook stared at the other’s eyes, trying to see what the other was thinking.
“I-”
“Jeon jungkook. Here are your bags.”, the receptionist called.
Jungkook immediately stood up, walking up to the desk and taking up his bags. When he was turning, he saw someone come out from the doctor’s cabin and walk out towards him, making him freeze.

It was the omega he saw in the clearing. There was no mistaking. Jungkook stood there like a deer caught in the headlights. The omega looked at him as he walked towards him, but his face lacked recognition, like it did for Jungkook’s.
He passed jungkook and walked towards hoseok, who stood up. Hoseok bid his goodbyes to yugyeom then turned to glance at jungkook before walking out with the omega.
As soon as they stepped out of sight, Jungkook snapped and ran out after them.

“Hey, hey stop.”
Jungkook called out after the two. The two stopped, turning around in confusion. Yugyeom joining them behind him.

“Are you alright. Were you hurt?”, Jungkook asked the omega.
The omega looked confused.
“What are you talking about?”, Hoseok asked.
“Jungkook, what is going on?”, Yugyeom asked from behind him. Jungkook looked at Yugyeom.
The omega looked confused.

“The omega I told you about, the one I saw in the clearing, its him. He is the one I saw.”
“What?”, Hoseok’s voice boomed in the street. Jungkook looked at the omega who has his eyes wide.
“What?”, Hoseok’s voice boomed in the street. Jungkook looked at the omega who has his eyes wide.
“Earlier this morning, I saw him in the in woods behind Kim’s mansion. He was inside some circle drawn with blood and he couldn’t move. He was crying. When I tried to help, someone hit me on the back of my head.
I woke up here in the infirmary. But I didn't hear anything about you. I was worried for you.” Jungkook said, looking at the omega, “I don't know your name but I was so scared for you. When I saw you earlier, you were so defenseless. I hope you are fine now.”
The omega stared at Jungkook.
“I don't know what you are talking about.”
“What?”
“I don't know you. This is the first time I am seeing you. I don't recall anything you are saying.”
“What?” Jungkook said again.
“I don't know what you are talking about.”
“What?”
“I don't know you. This is the first time I am seeing you. I don't recall anything you are saying.”
“What?” Jungkook said again.
“Jimin was at home yesterday. We only came here because he was having high temperature in the morning. You must have mistaken him for someone else. He-”
Hoseok stopped mid sentence, looking somewhere behind Jungkook. He heard Jimin's audible gasp, when he too saw who Hoseok was looking at.
Jungkook turned around to see an alpha, shorter than him, staring at them from a few feets away. He turned back to see Hoseok glaring at the alpha.
“Like I said, you are mistaken. Jimin is completely fine an he was home yesterday”, he said, but it sounded like he was trying to convince himself.
“Lets go, Jimin” the alpha said, before turning around and walking away with the omega.
Jungkook watched them walk away before turning to look at the alpha, only to see he was gone as well.
Strange.

Jungkook looked around, staring at the trees that line either side of the road, listening to the birds sing and distant sounds of foxes as he walked the same path he walked when the sun was not up.
Jalat was beautiful in the morning. It was so different from high buildings and rush hours in Seoul during this time.
Here it was peaceful, the gentle sunlight and the light breeze was a nice welcome change for him.
Here it was peaceful, the gentle sunlight and the light breeze was a nice welcome change for him.
He looked at Yugyeom who was walking beside him. The alpha was carrying one of his bags as well.
They were walking in silence but it wasn't a comfortable one. There was tension between them. Jungkook could sense that Yugyeom wanted to ask about what happened earlier.
They were walking in silence but it wasn't a comfortable one. There was tension between them. Jungkook could sense that Yugyeom wanted to ask about what happened earlier.
“Are you gonna talk anytime soon?” Jungkook asked.
“Yeah I was about to”, Yugyeom said laughing, ”It's just, what happened was a lot to process. I don't even know who to believe”.
“I get it. You might think I am crazy. Even I wouldn't believe what I said.”
“Yeah I was about to”, Yugyeom said laughing, ”It's just, what happened was a lot to process. I don't even know who to believe”.
“I get it. You might think I am crazy. Even I wouldn't believe what I said.”
“It's not that. You have to understand that Hobi hyung and Jimin hyung are people I have been seeing since I was born. I just met you yesterday on the bus but you have no reason to lie to me.
You were attacked in the woods by someone that we don't know and when you checked, none of your belongings were stolen so that means you were hit because someone clearly didn't want you to see what was happening there.
It makes me wanna believe you.
But then again, you were alone in the woods, it was dark and maybe you hit your head on a branch or you got a jump scare and you passed out because I know I would. I don't know, there are a lot of possibilities”.
But then again, you were alone in the woods, it was dark and maybe you hit your head on a branch or you got a jump scare and you passed out because I know I would. I don't know, there are a lot of possibilities”.
“I won't lie, I was really scared then but I don't think I will pass out if I get a jump scare and I know I didn't hit my head on a branch.” Jungkook said honestly.
“That's the thing”, Yugyeom said, “I trust you man. I just don't understand why they would lie. But did you really see Jimin hyung’s face? He looked like he genuinely didn't remember whatever happened and that's scary.
And did you see Hobi hyung's face? I knew he was hiding some things since the day Jimin hyung went missing”
“Wait, he went missing?”, jungkook asked, shocked.
“Wait, he went missing?”, jungkook asked, shocked.
“Yes. Let me ask you this, Kook, did you notice how throughout the conversation, Jimin hyung didn't say a word unless he was spoken to."
Jungkook did notice the lack of life in the older omega's eyes, like something hollow. He was honestly creeped out by his indifference.

"Jimin hyung is like that most of the time now. He never smiles, never talks, only replies in a few words when spoken to. But he wasn't always like that. Even Hobi hyung doesn't smile that often nowadays. His smile used to be his best quality.
In fact, Jimin hyung would have been one of the first people who will befriend you here. He was the light of Jalat's life. Everybody adored him. He brimmed with kindness and laughter, his presence always put everyone at peace. But he changed after that day”.
Yugyeom let out a long sigh.
Jungkook dreaded what he was about to hear even though he knew what happened now.
Jungkook dreaded what he was about to hear even though he knew what happened now.
“It was the day Hobi hyung and Yeonjun got married, last year. By evening, everyone went back to their homes after attending the wedding feast and blessing the newlywed couple. Nobody saw Jimin hyung anywhere.
He was there during the feast and some people said they saw him leave in between. He always takes long walks in the evening so Hobi hyung and others assumed he left to get some air but he didn't return.
By the time everyone realized that something wasn't right and Jimin hyung was missing, it was late. The entire village was looking for him the whole night. No one had ever seen Hobi hyung that furious or disoriented before.
No one has ever even seen him get mad. He used to be all happy and carefree befriending everyone. It was bad. Jimin hyung was found the next morning by the lake, unconscious.
He didn't remember what happened. People checked around the lake multiple times but they didn't see him there then. Yoongi hyung found him there in the morning. He was uninjured so everyone left it at that.
Later that day, Hobi hyung had the biggest fight with Yoongi hyung, throwing punches at Yoongi hyung and Yoongi hyung just stood there and got hit. Hobi hyung only stopped when Yeonjun and Taehyung hyung pulled him away. They used to be best friends, always together.
They haven't spoken since. The two alphas used to be best friends, always together. They haven't spoken since. Hoseok hyung despises Yoongi hyung's very shadow now. And for the most part, Yoongi did become a shadow ever since.
Hobi hyung blamed Yoongi hyung for what happened to Jimin hyung but no one understood why. Because Yoongi hyung was the one who was frantically searching for Jimin hyung, losing his mind, even more desperate than Hobi hyung. We never understood why they fought.
Jimin hyung hasn't smiled since that day. People say that the once carefree, happy Jimin hyung died that day, leaving this shell of a human back.
Jimin hyung and Taehyung hyung used to be best friends but Jimin hyung barely looks at the other now when he used to dote on luna like a mother hen"
“Was Yoongi hyung the alpha who was behind us when we talked to them back there?”, Jungkook couldn't help but ask.
“Yep, that was him.”
Jungkook felt overwhelmed by the amount of things he has encountered here in this village in the span of few hours since he set his foot into the village.
This was beyond what he had imagined when his mother told him bed time stories about her magical village.

Yugyeom stopped walking then, making jungkook stop in his steps as well.
Only when they stopped did Jungkook realize that they were standing in front of a big house now.

“We're here. this is where I’ll be leaving you.” Yugyeom said, smiling.
Jungkook tried to smile back, but he couldn't take his eyes off the house his mother once called home.
The Kim's mansion.

CHAPTER 3
#taekook #taekookau #vkook #vkookau
The Kim’s mansion is hands down one of the most incredible works of architecture Jungkook has ever seen in his nineteen years of life but that can be a very biased opinion.

Taking every step towards the mansion made him feel more emotional, like he was taking steps towards his mother. The place she called home for half her life.

This place holds a lot of history. History of his mother, history of his ancestors, history of this village. The mansion was truly a sight to behold.

The entrance was an archway leading to an open front yard. He cant see how far behind the mansion stretches but the front of it on itself was magnificent.

Jungkook felt a deep yearning towards the home. A feeling deep inside, almost like it was calling out to him.
He couldn't explain what was it about his mom’s home that moved him but he couldn’t help it when a lone tear fell from his eye.

Questions that didn't arise in his mind till now flood his thoughts, making him freeze. He closed his eyes, clearing his head before taking a deep breath in and ringing the doorbell.
There is no turning back now.

The door was finally opened by an alpha, almost as old as his father. Jungkook stared as the alpha smile at him.
“Who are you boy?”, the alpha asked, “I don't recall ever seeing you before.”

All Jungkook could do was open and close his mouth like a fish. Words failed him as he stood there unable to think or find his voice.

“I- I came to see grandma Misook.”, he managed to breathe out, after a while.
The smile that the alpha wore till then dimmed as the alpha's eyes trailed from his face to the bags he was carrying, inspecting.

“Would you like to come inside and have a seat in the living room while you wait?” the alpha asked.
“I would appreciate that”, Jungkook managed to smile back.
“I would appreciate that”, Jungkook managed to smile back.
He sat on the couch as he waited for the alpha to return. A young beta served him water before going back inside. He looked around in awe.
The hall was big, leading to multiple doors, including the one the beta retreated to, which he assumed was the kitchen. The walls hold multiple pictures.
He looked around at unfamiliar faces. He saw a picture of two small boys. The elder one was resting his chin on the younger one who smiled showing his milky teeth, the lips forming a box like shape.
His eyes scanned other pictures as well until his eyes landed on one he know. He recognized a person in midst of everyone else. A picture of his mom. She was smiling wide at the camera in a summer dress, hair tied up in a ponytail, childish wonder in her eyes. It made him smile.
He looked up at the stairs up which the alpha left earlier. His knees were bouncing up in anticipation. He couldn't sit still.
What will he say to his grandmother? Where will he start? What will he say? he didn't know. He felt his pulse quicken as the alpha finally walked down.

Everything else faded as his eyes settled on the older omega behind him. The older woman walked down the stairs, the footsteps the only sound in the otherwise silent room.

She was shorter than his mother by an inch or two. The wrinkles on her face hardly took away the beauty of her face. She looks exactly like his mom except for her gray hair tied back in a bun.

The round glasses on her face were slipping down to the tip of her nose. He looked so wise and confident. An aura so different to his mom, who was always carefree and all over the place.

She looked up at him once she reached down the stairs, coming to a sudden halt as soon as her eyes fell on Jungkook . The recognition must have been immediate because her face changed.

Jungkook stood up as her face crumbled. The young alpha stood still as the older woman started taking slow steps towards him. Tears filled up her eyes as she came to us halt in front of him.

Jungkook couldn’t help whisper back.
That was all it took for her to pull him into a strong embrace. Jungkook hasn't felt this safe since his mother left him. He wrapped his arms around his grandmother as he melted into her arms.

He loved hearing stories of how their grandmas would sneak in extra cash in their pockets, cover for them when they get in trouble, make them tasty food and take them to parks. Their love will always be so loud, so in your face.

He never experienced it as a child because both of his parents weren't close to theirs. but everything has its own time, it seems. Everything good will happen to you someday, some things you wished so hard for as a child could come true.

She was flowing through the kitchen, her years of experience clearly making it known. Her movements went slow but she moved in precision. He couldn’t believe how grounded the domesticity of all this already makes him feel.

Jungkook was right. The mansion had a bigger backyard. There was a beautiful garden grown here filled with flowers from roses, orchids to ones he don't know. But the one that covered up the majority of the garden was lilies.

"Are you mad at her?”, jungkook couldn't help but ask.
Kids always fight with their patents but we never close the door on them.”
"Are you mad at her?”, jungkook couldn't help but ask.
“Never. I was so caught up in my guilt of not being what the village wanted me to be that I was blinded by my desire to make her the luna. But at the end of the day, she is mine.
I never regretted it when I knew of the life that was growing inside me. I never regretted bringing her to this world. In fact I love her with every breath I take.
#taekookau #taekook #vkook #vkookau
My only regret is not understanding her earlier. I regretted everything I did for the village the day she walked out of here.”
His grandmother said, tears rolling down her face.
My only regret is not understanding her earlier. I regretted everything I did for the village the day she walked out of here.”
His grandmother said, tears rolling down her face.
“What hurts the most was that she never turned back. Not even once. I am her mother. I hoped at least when she gave birth to you, she would call me. That day I realized I lost her. I haven’t tried to look into her life again.
If she hated me so much, then I wouldn't take her happiness away by making my way into her life.”
She said, rubbing her eyes like a child.

“I am her mother. She should know that I would never turn her away. Call her and ask her to come back to me. She should know I would have accepted her decision then. I am glad at least you came looking for me. Even though she could have come herself instead of sending you alone”
Jungkook couldn’t stop the sobs that shook his body. He cried into his hands while his grandmother cried next to him.
#taekookau #taekook
“She never hated you. She loved you more than her life”, Jungkook cried, '' Eomma spoke of you more than anyone else in here. She was glad that I looked like her and you. She said she could see you in me.”
“She never hated you. She loved you more than her life”, Jungkook cried, '' Eomma spoke of you more than anyone else in here. She was glad that I looked like her and you. She said she could see you in me.”
Jungkook wiped his hands, reaching out to hold his grandmother’s hand.
“She used to say that she was the most blessed to have called you her mother. She loved this village and its people a lot. She was afraid she might see disappointment in your eyes. The possibility of having let you down haunted her all her life.
She never hated you, she was afraid to take the first step. She always wished you well, even with her last breath”.
Jungkook let go of her hand, walking back into the house to get his bag. He searched through it, looking for it. He pulled out the sealed urn before walking back to the backyard. He saw the color leave his grandmother’s face as soon as she saw what he was holding.
“No”, he heard her whisper as he sat back down next to her.
“She always wanted to come here holding my hand. She used to talk about how you would be the best grandmother to me, how you would try to set me up with omegas you approve. She loved you everyday”.
“She always wanted to come here holding my hand. She used to talk about how you would be the best grandmother to me, how you would try to set me up with omegas you approve. She loved you everyday”.
He looked at his grandmother who was silent next to him, looking at the urn, tears running down her chin.
“She wanted to lie down on your lap as you combed through her hair. She used to say you did that to her a lot. She missed it. This was her last wish. To be brought to you.”

“She always wanted to come back”, Jungkook said, hiccupping between the sobs, “she always thought she would get a chance to. Everything happened too fast. She was in a car accident. The other driver was drunk. He died on the spot. She was rushed to the hospital.
Doctors said they did all they could. I was with her in her last moments. She asked me to bring her ashes back home, to you.
She said she would only be able to rest peacefully if you hold her in your arms one last time. She wished with her last breath, to be here, to be poured into the lake in the village by your hand, to blend in its water and settle in the winds.”
His grandmother looked up to look at him with blood shot eyes. He hugged her close as she cried into his chest.
They will cry together today.
They will cry together today.

Jungkook wasn’t sure how long he and his grandmother sat there crying, holding each other. The sun was slowly setting and the sky was turning golden. They were not crying now, tears long dried out. They both sat in silence, lost in thought.
He felt his grandmother take a deep breath before pulling away from his embrace. Her face was swollen, eyelashes still wet and tear trails visible.
She looked out at the bloomed lilies around.

“I had always hoped I would die old, with you and Jiyoung next to me. But some things don't work that way, I guess.”
She looked down at the urn in her hands, a small smile on her face, even though her eyes were glossy with tears.

She looked down at the urn in her hands, a small smile on her face, even though her eyes were glossy with tears.
“I don't have much years left. I will meet her then.", she whispered, "She was all that I had. Her father was never there. He was a merchant. He wasn’t ready to face the responsibilities of a child, of me. But I don't blame him.
I wasn't even that sad when he left me. I had her growing in me. The day I held her in my arms, I knew she was all I'll ever need in my life. And after she left, I have lived all these years among these flowers, waiting for her. I will live my rest here as well, in her memories.
She truly lived every moment of her years here. She was loved. My child was full of love and passion. But she never wanted to be tied down here so she left. I know she would have lived life to the fullest as a wife and mother as well.”
“She did", Jungkook agreed, "She was so full of life and energy. She was always brimming with love.”
“I always knew. What about Jihoon? Was he with her when the accident happened?”
“I always knew. What about Jihoon? Was he with her when the accident happened?”

“No", Jungkook said, a soft smile on his face, "In fact, they haven’t been together for a while now.”
“What?” His grandmother asked, almost getting a whiplash with how fast she turned to him.
“No", Jungkook said, a soft smile on his face, "In fact, they haven’t been together for a while now.”
“What?” His grandmother asked, almost getting a whiplash with how fast she turned to him.
“They were so in love at first. The mom and dad I have my first memories of, were always holding hands and cuddling together with me on the couch. But somehow they grew apart over the years.
Dad would always spend his time on his research. He was never home.
Dad would always spend his time on his research. He was never home.
He travelled places for his work and rarely made time for me and mom.
I remember eomma crying at nights when she thought I was asleep. She was so miserable.”
The older omega, closed her eyes, tears running down her face.

The older omega, closed her eyes, tears running down her face.
“By the time dad came to his senses, they had already fallen out of love. Eomma was tired of everything and didn’t want to work on their broken marriage anymore and dad agreed. They got a divorce before they ruin their friendship as well.
They remained friends though. Dad put a lot more effort in his relationship with me. He would always visit us, come over for holidays. He was there at the hospital when she passed away”
Jungkook looked up when he heard his grandma sob again.

“I cant believe she lived her last years of life alone.”
She said miserably, holding the urn closer.
“No she didn’t", Jungkook said, "She was loved. She found someone”
“Wait what?”
She said miserably, holding the urn closer.
“No she didn’t", Jungkook said, "She was loved. She found someone”
“Wait what?”
“A year after the divorce, she introduced me to Kim Haneul-ssi. He was an omega as well”
“An omega?”, his grandmother asked, halting her crying.
“Yes. they loved each other despite both being omegas. They met at the bookstore she used to visit.
“An omega?”, his grandmother asked, halting her crying.
“Yes. they loved each other despite both being omegas. They met at the bookstore she used to visit.
They became friends and then lovers. She said that when her love for dad was exciting and explosive, her love for papa Haneul was filled with warmth and stability.
She said the feeling of security was overpowering every other reasonings people could find in the mismatched couple they made. And papa was what she needed. A grounding force.
They were coming back home when the accident happened. They were both rushed to the hospital, but there wasn't much anyone could do. They passed away together. We were a family. Me and eomma, papa and hyung.”
“Hyung?”, grandma asked wiping her eyes.
“Hyung?”, grandma asked wiping her eyes.
“Yea. papa has a son. Papa was a divorcee as well. Hyung is 3 years older than me. he is an alpha as well. I look up to him a lot. He is a psychologist. A therapist. After the accident, he left to spend time with papa’s family for a while.”
Jungkook smiled at the thought of his hyung.
“Call him over then.", Misook smiled, "If he was a son to my Jiyoung, he is now my grandson as well”
The omega sat there smiling for a while, caressing the urn.
“So she was loved till her last breath.”
“Yes, grandma”
“Call him over then.", Misook smiled, "If he was a son to my Jiyoung, he is now my grandson as well”
The omega sat there smiling for a while, caressing the urn.
“So she was loved till her last breath.”
“Yes, grandma”
“That's all that matters then. And she is with her lover now. She lived and she loved. She lost nothing. Her life should be celebrated. And she left her footprint. She left you to continue her legacy. She will always live through you”
She stood up, kissing Jungkook’s forehead. Jungkook closed his eyes, relishing in the warm feeling that fills his chest.
“And we will fulfill her last wish, yeah? On the next night of the full moon, I myself will pour her ash into the lake. We’ll let her have her final rest.”
“And we will fulfill her last wish, yeah? On the next night of the full moon, I myself will pour her ash into the lake. We’ll let her have her final rest.”
“Yes, grandma.” Jungkook said ,wiping the tear that slipped, smiling.
“I will keep her with me till then, alright”, she said, gesturing to the urn in her hand,
Jungkook nodded.
“I will keep her with me till then, alright”, she said, gesturing to the urn in her hand,
Jungkook nodded.
“Its getting late. You had a long day. I will ask Junghwa to show you your room. Settle down. Get some sleep. You must be exhausted. I will see you in the morning. And call me nana. That sounds better, brings us a lot closer”
She smiled before walking back inside. Jungkook watch her leave.
“Nana?” Jungkook called before she left.
“yes son?”, she asked, stopping by the door.
“Can I get eomma’s old room?”
“Nana?” Jungkook called before she left.
“yes son?”, she asked, stopping by the door.
“Can I get eomma’s old room?”
She stood silent for a while, before a smile creeped up her face.
“Ofcourse.”
“Thank you nana", he said smiling, "For taking me in”.
“No, thank you baby. For coming to me.”
She smiled before retreating to the mansion and sat there watching the lilies sway in the wind.

Choi Junghwa was a very transparent person. He didn't wait for a reply and kept on going. Jungkook was kinda thankful for it at the moment because he was in no state of mind to hold a conversation.
In fact, he kinda appreciated the old man not stopping his monologue now. It was a welcome distraction.
He knew that beta had been a help in the Kim’s mansion since he was a child. his mother had always had a lot of fond stories about her uncle Junghwa to tell him.
Now in his old age, he has lived decades with the people here. He was Misook-ssi’s most trusted helper and friend. The old beta came to Jungkook after a while saying Misook-ssi asked him to escort her grandson to his mother’s old room.
“I have seen luna misook-ssi since we were children. My family lived down the road, still do by the way, and we have served the Kims for generations now. My mom was a cook here. She would bring me here to play with other servants’ children.
Once I was old enough, I was asked to take care of luna Misook-sii.”
Junghwa said as he walked ahead of Jungkook. The young alpha trailing behind the beta, looking around the house as he walked. They walked up the stairs and were now upstairs, walking through a hall.

“I have pretty much been with her ever since. Even when she was shunned for bearing a child, when the merchant left her and when she gave birth. I took care of little Jiyoung as well, just like I took care of luna.
When little Jiyoung left, luna asked for a garden with lilies and my wife and I helped her build it. She also asked to keep little Jiyoung’s room intact.
Not a lot has been changed in this room. Luna wanted it to remain the same for when Jiyoung come back with you." Junghwa sighed, "She left too young.”
Junghwa stopped at the end of the hallway, in front of a room. He turned around, wiping his eyes and smiling at him.

“This was her room.”
He said, opening the door for Jungkook to enter. The room was not that big but it was cozy. A four poster bed was in a corner, neatly made, a night stand beside it. A six-door wooden wardrobe stood by the side wall and a dressing table was placed next to it.

The wall opposite to it had a bookshelf filled with books of various genres, some he could recognize from his mom’s collection in Seoul. The room immediately made Jungkook very happy.
It looked exactly like something his mother would nest in and the beta did mention they haven’t changed anything here, which means this room was in fact, his mother's nest.
#taekook #taekookau
“Luna insisted on not modifying the room or changing its furniture. Nobody comes here, except for little Taehyung. He likes to read here and spend time in general. Luna loves when he uses the room. She said it makes the room not seem abandoned.

You can read any books here. Some were your mother’s, some are little Tae’s. He wouldn’t mind. Make yourself home, alpha.”
Junghwa said as he turned back to leave the room.
“Junghwa-ssi?”, Jungkook called, making the beta halt in his steps.
“Yes, young alpha.”
Junghwa said as he turned back to leave the room.
“Junghwa-ssi?”, Jungkook called, making the beta halt in his steps.
“Yes, young alpha.”
“I had something to ask. Why do you call nana luna? i mean, she was never one.”
“No she was not officially” Junghwa smiled, “but when we were children, she was promised to be one. I’ve been calling her luna since.
“No she was not officially” Junghwa smiled, “but when we were children, she was promised to be one. I’ve been calling her luna since.
The habit didn’t change even though she didn’t become one. Since then, we never had a luna. but she had always done the duties of one so she will always be a luna in my eyes."
Jungkook could feel the amount of respect and devotion the beta had for his nana in his eye.

Jungkook nodded.
"I’ll be heading home now. Take rest.”
The beta bowed before leaving the room. Jungkook smiled to himself, looking around. He moved to the book shelf, tracing the books with his fingers. They were not dusty. The room was clean.

It must be cleaned frequently.
Standing in the middle of the room, Jungkook felt content but also tired. He will unpack tomorrow. All he needed now was to sleep. It was a long day. But he should freshen up. He took his toiletries before heading to the bathroom.

The entire time he was in shower, he kept thinking about the everything that happened. Ever since he stepped foot on Jalat, it was one thing after the other. He didn't know what was happening anymore.
He was so lost. But he needed to get some rest to properly ponder over everything that happened.
Jungkook got dressed in his favorite pajama bottoms before laying down on the bed.
Sleep immediately consumed him as soon as he relaxed, surrounded by sheets that smelled like peaches.

The front door of Kim’s mansion opened slowly. It paused when the door squeaked a little, before opening further. Almost everyone must have retired to their rooms by now.

The one who opened the door tiptoed into the house, turning back around to lock the door. He walked inside without making a noise. He almost reached the stairs when he halted in his steps from a voice behind him.

“There is no need in trying to come in like a thief, child.”
“God! You scared me, nana”, the omega smiled at Misook who was sitting on the couch, reading a book, the lamp next to her the only light in the room.

“Do you know what time it is Tae?”
Taehyung’s shoulders slumped, walking towards his nana like a kicked puppy, sitting on a couch next to her. He checked the time and sighed.
“Its 9pm”, he mumbled.
“Were you at Jimin’s house again?”
“Yes nana”

“How is he?”
“Not good”, Taehyung said, tears welling up his eyes, "he talks back when I talk to him. But he only smiles now, at things he would usually roll around the floor laughing for. He barely eats unless someone feeds him.

He wont come out unless I pull him out of his room. It's hard to watch. He don't remember parts of his day and just stare into space, always zoned out.”
Taehyung was sniffling by the time he was done, rubbing his nose on the back of his hand.

“How are you, child?”, nana asked after a while, when he has calmed down.
“Me? I am fine. Its Jimin who is not.”
“Its hard to watch someone you love so much suffer like this, Tae. I know that's why you spend most of your time with him now. Are you fine?”
“Me? I am fine. Its Jimin who is not.”
“Its hard to watch someone you love so much suffer like this, Tae. I know that's why you spend most of your time with him now. Are you fine?”
Taehyung fell silent at that.
“No”, he said after a while, “But I will be. When I'll be the luna, everything will be over and Jimin will come back to me.”
Misook sighed, taking off her glasses, rubbing her forehead.
“No”, he said after a while, “But I will be. When I'll be the luna, everything will be over and Jimin will come back to me.”
Misook sighed, taking off her glasses, rubbing her forehead.
“Taetae,” she whispered, “I can't let you throw away your life for everyone else. You don't have to tie yourself down just because you don't have a reason to change your mind. There will always be something that will make you regret this decision of yours to be the luna later.
I have seen it. I imposed it on Jiyoung and I lost her. Now I will never get her back.”
“Don't say that, nana. She will come back. Be hopeful”
“No, my child. She is not coming back. She is not in this world anymore.”
“What?”, Taehyung reached out to hold his nana’s hand.
“Don't say that, nana. She will come back. Be hopeful”
“No, my child. She is not coming back. She is not in this world anymore.”
“What?”, Taehyung reached out to hold his nana’s hand.
“She was met with an accident. She lost her life, along with her lover. I will never see her again.”
“But nana, how? I don't understand.”
“He is here, Tae. Jungkookie, my grandson”, Misook said, smiling.
"He came here as per my Jiyoung’s last wish.
“But nana, how? I don't understand.”
“He is here, Tae. Jungkookie, my grandson”, Misook said, smiling.
"He came here as per my Jiyoung’s last wish.
One look at him and all my pain and longing ended. He looks just like her. It warms my heart. Even though she left me, she left me with him.”
“Here, as in-”
“Yes. he is sleeping upstairs.”
“Here, as in-”
“Yes. he is sleeping upstairs.”
“And that is what I am saying, Tae,” Misook continued, “I have already lost a lot because of the burden on this family to offer lunas. I have seen my grandmothers, aunts and cousins die for this. I lost my child to this, and I lost my moon too.”
She reached out to cup Tae’s cheek.
"i cant lose you too, baby bear. Jalat will suffer the consequences but they have lived without a luna for decades now, they have learnt to live without one, you don't have to sacrifice yourself for this.
"i cant lose you too, baby bear. Jalat will suffer the consequences but they have lived without a luna for decades now, they have learnt to live without one, you don't have to sacrifice yourself for this.
People will be confused, but they will accept your decision.”
Taehyung closed his eyes, nuzzling his cheeks into her palm.
“I know you think that I am being trapped but this is my decision, nana. The decision I chose for Jimin, you, our family and this village.

You should know I will die for our people. I have no reason to change my mind.”
“You don’t have a reason” nana paused, “Yet.”
She said with the gleam in her eyes. “But I have a feeling it might change.”

“What are you talking about?”, Taehyung looked a her suspiciously, “What are you planning?”
“Oh nothing”, Misook shrugged, “Its just you know how beautiful Jiyoung was”
Taehyung nodded. He has seen the pictures, she was indeed gorgeous.
“Oh nothing”, Misook shrugged, “Its just you know how beautiful Jiyoung was”

“Well, Jihoon was a handsome alpha as well. Apples never fall far from their tree.”
“What's that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing. I just wonder. Old women can hope, you know.”
“What's that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing. I just wonder. Old women can hope, you know.”

She said, standing up, taking the book with her.
“My grandson is a handsome alpha. I have a feeling he just might sway your decisions. Good night bear”
She said, standing up, taking the book with her.
“My grandson is a handsome alpha. I have a feeling he just might sway your decisions. Good night bear”
With that, she walked away, leaving a flustered omega behind.
“Pfft, like I would ever change for an alpha” Taehyung mumbled, getting up as well.

Taehyung was exhausted. He had another draining day. He had went by to see Jimin in the afternoon, lost track of time and stayed there till night. Hobi hyung insisted on walking him back and only left after Tae got inside the mansion.
Even though Hobi hyung and Yeonjun try to be positive and happy, they too are drained. They eyes always look tired. Its impossible to move on or even pretend everything is fine when you have no clue what is happening to the one person who is your strength and support.
Nowadays, everyone of them wake up, dreading the night, when they have to witness Jimin tremble in pain, curling in on himself as his body tremored. Most of the days now, they sedate him for the night, for the pain gets too much for the omega's frail body to bear.
Nobody understands what is happening, they can only watch helplessly as Jimin screams in agony, calling for help.
Today was another bad day. Hobi hyung had to sedate Jimin and Tae could only sit helplessly next to Yeonjun and watch him twitch occasionally in his sleep.

Yeonjun wasn’t doing well either. The stress of watching Jimin suffer everyday was getting to him too much and it's not good for him or the baby.
Hobi hyung is getting more agitated as days pass by as well.
Hobi hyung is getting more agitated as days pass by as well.
The pain and guilt of having to sit and watch his younger brother being tortured everyday and not being able to save him was eating him alive, and he projects all this anger on Yoongi hyung.
As Taehyung got ready for bed, he couldn’t help look at the picture of his hyung on the wall of his room.
“Where are you hyung? Ever since you left, nothing remains the same. We are all falling apart. I need you.”
“Where are you hyung? Ever since you left, nothing remains the same. We are all falling apart. I need you.”
Taehyung laid down in his bed, willing the sleep to come. But no matter how much he tossed and turned, he couldn’t sleep.
After a while, he got back up, tired. He wont be able to sleep here. He needed his nest.
After a while, he got back up, tired. He wont be able to sleep here. He needed his nest.
__________🪔🪔__________
Taehyung walked down the hallway with a lamp in his hand. Each step he took towards his nest made him feel a little better. He rarely sleeps in his nest, rather spends time reading and tiring himself out.
The cocoon of warmth the room provides always keeps his anxiety at bay. The sheets let him relax. He always feels safe there. It was reminiscent of his hyung’s hug. He feels protected when he is inside his nest.
When he reached the end of hallway, he gently opened the door before getting in and closing it behind.
#taekook #taekookau #vkook #vkookau
He kept the lamp on the table, taking in a deep breath. He felt himself freeze as soon as the air filled his lungs. The first thing that registered in his head was the smell of rain.

The calm and refreshing scent that rises from the ground as soon as it rains filled the whole room.
Taehyung always used to go outside when it rains as a child, just to take in the smell of rain that calms him.

But now the smell of rain mixing with his scent of peaches confused him, making him slowly turn towards the bed. He felt a gasp leave him as soon as his eyes fell on the person sleeping in his nest.
An alpha.
An alpha was lying down, fast asleep in his nest. He felt his cheeks heating up.
No alpha enters an omega’s nest without permission unless its their alpha.

The alpha was covered waist down by his sheets as he was sleeping soundly, on his stomach, nose pressed onto his pillow, breathing his scent in.
He wasn't wearing any shirt.
Taehyung’s eyes trailed the alpha’s back, the smooth milky skin stretching over his wide shoulders, big arms placed under the pillow, bulging as he gripped the pillow tight.

His back muscles moved as he breathed in and out. The omega's eyes trailed the curve of the alpha’s spine, down his thin waist.

Taehyung stood there like a deer caught under headlight.
Jungkook.
This was Jungkook.
This was nana’s grandson.
But why was he in Taehyung’s nest? Taehyung moved to the side, to get a look of the alpha’s face but his face was covered by his hair.

But why was he in Taehyung’s nest? Taehyung moved to the side, to get a look of the alpha’s face but his face was covered by his hair.
He watched the alpha, not knowing what to do. Then it hit him.
This used to be Jiyoung-ssi’s bedroom. The alpha must have asked for the room.
Taehyung sighed. No one knew this was his nest. It was unusual for an omega to nest somewhere other than their bedroom.

Taehyung sighed. No one knew this was his nest. It was unusual for an omega to nest somewhere other than their bedroom.
It was unusual for an omega to nest somewhere other than their bedroom. He never bothered informing others about him nesting here, mainly because omegas usually nest while they are pregnant or after they mate and is sharing their heat with an alpha.
Taehyung was neither. Ever Since his hyung left, he never felt safe in his room, so he searched all around the house till he found this room perfect for him to nest.
Usually when someone else, especially an alpha who was not invited into the nest by the omega themselves enter without permission, the omega in them will be agitated.
Taehyung was confused when instead of repulsion or agitation that he was supposed to feel, his omega was content. The scent of alpha seeping into his nest, mixing with his was making his omega purr inside.
Taehyung was shocked by his omega’s reaction. This wasn’t supposed to happen. He should be kicking the alpha out of his nest now instead of smiling at the scene.
Taehyung had to get out of here. He should go back. The omega turned back around, opening the door quickly, getting out of there and closing the door behind him before walking away.
Taehyung stopped after a few steps. He couldn’t leave. If he go back now, he wouldn’t be able to sleep. But his body needed the rest desperately.
Its his nest. If he take something from it, he wouldn’t have to justify his actions anywhere. He said to himself, before turning back around and going back into the room.
He quickly walked next to the alpha and without making a sound, took the other pillow from the bed.
He felt himself instantly relax as he inhaled the alpha’s scent. He quickly caught himself and moved back, returning to his room.

Once he was back in his room, he laid in bed, hugging the pillow close. He felt sleep arise in him.

He tried to ignore the part in him that whispered that it was the scent of alpha lingering on the pillow making him feel safe and making him relax, instead tried to fall asleep convincing himself that he was relaxing because it was a pillow from his nest.
But he couldn’t defend himself when he pressed the pillow closer to him and inhaled deeply.
This doesn’t matter. This doesn’t change anything. No one has to know. It never happened if no one saw it.

Jalat is going to be a long story but I didn't think it would take too long to make them meet. We are getting there, i promise!
The thing is in other stories that i am writing and have in mind, the story start taking its form when I get a feeling from a song or a quote and I associate that feeling with a character (either tae or kook) and work the plot around them, so its easier to write romance
but for Jalat, the plot came to me first. And I have a lot of heavy angst and mysteries in mind but with a plot this complex, its hard to fit in characters and write a parallel romantic plot. Maybe its bc I am a new writer. but its a challenge I am excited to overcome.

Nothing will ever change the fact that Yeri found you disgusting and left with the one she loves, Chan. It must have hurted your fragile ego so much, didn't it? To see that an omega would rather choose a beta than to suffer with you in her life.”

“This isn't about the money is it? This is just your opening to finally take revenge for the humiliation Yeri brought you. Well guess what, that is what you will always be. A laughing joke.

You don't even deserve to stand before other omega. Not when you can't respect the omega you have in your home. Learn to respect her first, then think about showing your face here again. Now leave. Don't Waste my time.

It resonated in his body and almost as if sensing it, Taehyung started searching through the crowd, before his eyes locked with Jungkook's. Jungkook felt his breath catch in his throat as he saw the omega freeze upon seeing him.

His red lips were parted, as he stared at Jungkook with his mouth open wide. He looked lean but petite at the same time, curved around his hips and thigh. His arms were lean, hands pretty with long and lean fingers.

Taehyung quickly recovered, turning to the other, not sparing another glance to Jungkook’s side but Jungkook could hardly stop staring at the omega. Taehyung is literally the most beautiful and bravest person he has ever seen

Everyone stood shocked as Jaemin froze mid sprint, standing in the middle immobile. He all of a sudden started shaking as if he was losing control of his body, the rock falling out of his hand as he fell to his knees, submitting before Taehyung.

Jungkook didn’t respond.
Yugyeom and everyone else stared at Taehyung, mesmerized, unable to look elsewhere but if anyone had, they would have noticed Jungkook’s obsidian pools, in turn flashing ruby red.
His wolf responding to Taehyung’s.
