‣ A/N: Hi, so I’ve had this story in my drafts for soooo... long! I picked up on it a while ago and it took me some time to find out which way I wanted to go with it. But here we are! I want to be honest with you and say that I’m not very good at keeping a blog, and it takes me some time, lots of time actually to write stories, but I’m practicing to write faster and better. With that being said I’m always up for a chat, and I hope you like this story! Love from the author. <3

This was the moment.

Your moment.

Your soldiers moment.

The moment you had spent months on planning. Every detail was set and the thirst for victory had never been stronger.

It was strange, a war between two different shape-shifting races.

One being birds of prey; your kind.

The other being all cat animals you could think of. From the smallest lynx to the biggest lion; Jimins kind.

Shapeshifters were always friendly, keeping to themselves in the background. Compared to other creatures as dragons and elves shapeshifters were very calm.

But this field only showed that there were layers to things.

Jimin stood at least 40 meters away from you, his black triangle ears ever so slightly moving at small sounds you couldn’t hear.

Even if he was that far away you could still see every detail of him. His black strands of hair, his nose twisting, his golden skin, his lips…

Every detail on him was clear for your sight to see, cause even if he had the best smell and hearing of the two of you, your kind had amazing sight.

This moment was the silence before the storm. The only thing to be heard was the howling wind impatiently telling you to attack.

You turned your eyes to the right side seeing your soldiers start to shift into all sorts of birds, hawks, eagles even owls. They were bigger than normal birds with the human genes in their dna.

You sighed as you too shifted into your animal. With your big wings you calmly flew higher into the sky were you had the advantage.

You could feel all the cat eyes follow you like shadows follow at your feet. It was somehow giving you more confidence, you couldn’t help the smirk that reached your lips.

You soon made eye contact with the one and only Jimin. He had too changed form into his mighty black panther.

Your good sight caught everything about him - the muscles underneath his fur, how they clenched and unclenched, his claws poking through his heavy fur layered paws, his eyes trying to catch up with what you were seeing, how his pupils extended just the slightest when he realized the eye contact.

He was overwhelming.

It was a rare sight, black panther shifters are rare and also extremely powerful, you didn’t linger on why Jimin was king of the cats.

But you were powerful yourself.

When you hovered about 24 meters in the air you howled and spread your abnormal big wings.

When Jimin saw your peregrine falcon in the air he began hissing soon turning to growling. The other cats followed him.

Not even a second after their growls you howled and dove towards the ground. Your claws were out, ready to grab one of the cats and rib them apart.

The birds had a big advantage. They could start the attack. Jimin and his cats wouldn’t be able to reach you in the air, the only thing they could was to defend themselves and try to snap out after you.

When you reached the cats, claws out, you had the first cat in your grab. A cheetah at that - cheetahs were very hard to catch as they were extremely fast.

The cheetah snapped after your claws, wings, everything that would result in you letting go, but it couldn’t reach you.

You bended down to bite at its neck, you knew exactly which nerve to bite to let it faint in your grasp.

You didn’t enjoy killing, never had, therefore you agreed with your soldiers to only knock them out.

Dropping the cheetah to the ground you took a look at how it went for your soldiers. There were some down trying to fight them on the ground, you were worried for them. They didn’t have the advantage.

You dove into the fight faster than the eyes could travel with you, no one saw it coming. You let out a squeak.

Your bird enjoyed setting her claws in flesh. You didn’t hunt often which annoyed her very much.

You got a grip at two cats one being smaller and a regular cat, the other being a white tiger. Wait, you knew that tiger.

Jimins right hand man. Taehyung.

You could also feel the struggle with the tiger knowing he would be much more trained than the others.

You were quick to let the cat become unconscious and drop it, it was another story with the tiger.

The tiger snapped much more than the others and nearly got you many times. He was wriggling so much in your grab that it was becoming difficult for you to keep a straight phase, you nearly hit the ground many times.

You knew there was no good ending to this, you were too close to the ground and Taehyung wouldn’t let you bite into his neck.

You were about to drop him and find another prey when you felt it.

You let out a defeating howl knowing this wasn’t good. Sharp claws were boring into your back pulling you down and smashing you to the ground.

The moment you hit the ground you heard your birds howl for you. You could hear them losing. This wasn’t good, you needed to win it meant everything.

The only way was to take out the leader.

And just as the thought crossed you saw a big black paw pinning you to the ground you were so awfully lying on.

Your weakness showed when you turned back into human, some of your animal features still present, such as the long claws on your hand, and feathers broke through your skin here and there.

When a shifter couldn’t keep their shift it was because they were tried, which was weakness.

You felt his breath on your neck feathers. Only a bite and you would be dead, it was so fascinating to him.

Jimin was arrogant not believing in your power. He never had believed in your power, not since childhood. He hadn’t even made a real plan for this fight knowing he would win.

But arrogance kill.

In the blink of an eye you had gathered all your energy and you made an attack.

Flipping around, your sharp claws tore over his face. You saw blood drip from his chin when he roared and threw himself away from you.

Taehyung beside you didn’t hesitate before jumping in, but you outsmarted him and dodged away from him with ease before letting your claws sink into his leg.

He roared too kicking you away from him.

Your own back was hurting. The ten claw marks on your back had opened up for blood and you could feel it drip down from your back.

You could see that Taehyung was hurting surely not coming back for more, it was another story with the panther in front of you.

He growled, eyes filled with hate and blood as he began circling around you.

“Come on Jimin..” you whispered waiting for his attack.

The air was filled with anticipation, this was the final battle between you two, a battle which had been going on for a decade. If he lost it would mean victory, but if you lost it would mean death.

Jimin let out an amused growl hearing you whisper at him. He liked being the one to start the attack.

“Come on Jimin..” You said again this time with more annoyance in your tone.

You were literally getting dizzy turing around yourself like this… but maybe that was his plan?

You stopped turning with him instead using all of your senses:

Hearing, smelling, felling, tasting and seeing.

You were strongest in seeing, but a second place would be feeling, you could feel every movement around you, also Jimins.

So it didn’t surprise you when he finally launched out to attack your back.

You dodged by turning to your right and Jimin was left with nothing between his claws as he had hoped.

It made him growl feeling the emptiness in his paws.

It didn’t take two seconds before he again launched at you, this time in front of you.

You dodged with ease again almost bursting into laughter seeing his struggles.

It was as if you were playing with a kitten. It was annoying him how little care you gave into it, but still managed to dodge him, and it made his anger stronger.

Anger which he used precious energy on.

This time when he jumped at you again claws out and teeth sharp you only fell to the ground and watched as he jumped right over you.

But playtime was over.

Instead of not attacking back this time you let your claws sink into him while he jumped over you resulting in them cutting him open.

His growl turned weak, but still the anger was now keeping him up as the only thing.

He attacked again but with all the weakness in his body for tiring himself you didn’t even need to dodge.

Taking a grip around his paw you smashed him to the ground. He didn’t resist, he couldn’t find the energy.

You ended it by letting you claw find the place where he would faint and the moment he did, his cats stopped fighting and your birds won.

“Your majesty!”

You looked up to see your medical doctor who was also your really good friend run over to you.

He had noticed the claw marks on your back and was already trying his best to stitch them up before you would pass out from the loss of blood.

“Hoseok! Glad you’re here.”

“Yea yea, but I can’t help much if we don’t get you back to the castle.”

Hoseok and you had grown up together on the castle. Hoseok had been a village boy who worked his way up as he was studying medical records, and as he was only a few years older than you a friendship quickly bloomed between you.

He too was a shapeshifter like all who lived in your kingdom, his bird being a hawk.

“We’ll take Jimin with us, the rest will be handled by Seokjin. I need to try and get some informations from Jimin before we deliver him to Seokjin.” You commanded.

Before you knew it, you were back to your own beloved kingdom. You and your soldiers walked in the little village just before the castle, you saw many familiar faces greet you with respect.

Everyone was relieved that you had won, cause if not it would have meant destruction for your part of the shapeshifting country, and that was something you couldn’t bear.

The war had been going on between you and Jimin for many years. Jimin hated you and you hated Jimin, he was arrogant, selfish and whenever you met he would insult you.

As the queen of the bird-shifters you weren’t used to insults and you didn’t take them easily.

But this battle was not just about Jimin stepping over line by disrespecting your part of the shapeshifting realm, Jimin was starting to interfere with vampires. This was alarming, and not only to you, but to the other shapeshifters as well.

Vampires and shapeshifters had been in war for over centuries, people often thought of the war between vampires and werewolves, and werewolves so happened to be part off shapeshifters.

Shapeshifters no matter the race had always been against vampires and their ways of being extreme in torturing, manipulating and killing. You yourself loathed vampires, they had taken more of your people than any other race had. Whenever you thought of vampires it would bring back memories you were trying your hardest to forget.

This was why it had alarmed the shapeshifter community that one of their own was starting to interact with vampires. It was documented with spies that Jimin had talked with vampires on shapeshifter ground, and that was very illegal.

You were alarmed, because you didn’t understand his motives behind it, Jimin was the last person who would be interfering with them.

A meeting had been held between your kingdoms, there were five in all with Jimins. But the meeting had been held with only four kingdoms.

Your kingdom, Felan. The sea creatures kingdom, Havini. The reptile kingdom, Josumi. And then the biggest kingdom known as Tefany, the biggest cause it was really just a mix of creatures.

Tefany had races from every corner of the world, and they made sure to brag about that, but you didn’t blame them for that, you blamed their king, Seokjin, he always loved to brag about his kingdom.

The meeting had been held in Tefany without Jimins or his kingdom’s, Valsinto, knowledge. It was Seokjin who had called all of you for he saw just like you how Jimin was starting to rule.

“I have called you all here because we need to discuss Valsinto’s status.” He had started as you all were seated at a round table.

“Is something happening with Valsinto?” Selina, the queen of Havini had asked, her voice small compared to her fierce killer whale shapeshift. You had witnessed how her anger could burst out of her making her one of the most dangerous shapeshifters in water.

She besides you was the only women to rule over a kingdom.

“I’m afraid Jimin is starting to become a threat to all of us.” Seokjin had stated.

“What do you mean? Jimin is only a threat towards Felan.” The ruler of Josumi, Yoongi, had remarked his split eyes looking over at your form.

“I’m afraid that is not the case anymore.” Seokjin had replied with a sigh.

“Jimin is interfering with vampires.” When Seokjin stated that the two others gasped with fierce looks in their eyes. No one was allowed to meddle with vampires, that was the law of peace between the shapeshifter kingdoms.

You were the only one not surprised, not scared, when Seokjin had stated the meetings reason. The other two turned to you and it was Yoongi who stood up and raised his voice.

“You knew about this, Ms. Y/N?!” His eyes shifting color as his split tongue came out in a sneer.

Your own nails grew relentlessly as your anger took over. You and your race had always been treated with little to no respect from the other kingdoms. They had never liked the way your kind observed instead of talked, unlike Jimin and his kind, his talking and charming person had convinced the others.

The cats and birds had been at war since your teenage years, there had never been any help from the other shapeshifters.

“As you yourself pointed out Mr. Namjoon, Valsinto has always been a threat to Felan, you can only expect me to have spies on Jimin.” Even in your anger you kept your cool, there was a slight venom in your tongue, but nothing which would rile the situation up even more.

“But why didn’t you share your information with us, Ms. Y/N?” Again Selinas small voice quivered.

“I don’t see why Felan should bow for your kingdoms when there has never been respect for our kingdom as deserved.” You answered shuting them all.

It was Seokjin who broke the silence.

“Ms. Y/N is right.” His voice broke as he looked down from you gaze.

“We have never had respect, none of us has had respect for any of the five Kingdoms, especially Felan has been treated poorly. I want to give you my deepest apologizes, and thereby offer my cooperation. We need to stop Jimin from being manipulated by the vampires, and we need to do it fast.”

At the meeting it had been decided that your kingdom would lead the fight against Valsinto as it was your people who had experience at fighting against the cat shapeshifters.

There were more reasons to it, you had requested to lead the fight because you had to figure out Jimins motives, his planning. You were in war with Jimin, but you knew him, he wouldn’t meddle with vampires at his own will. but also because you felt as if you had something to prove, your kingdom, and you as a leader had to prove that your people were strong.

You needed to prove to the others that you had earned enough respect.

As you walked the hallways of your castle you felt yourself getting dizzy. The bandgade Hoseok had made was drenched in your blood. You felt yourself fumble as you took a turn in the hallways.

“Your majesty!” Hoseok immediately ran up to you and held your arm in support.

“Take Jimin to the dungeon... Hoseok will lead me to the nursering hall.” You muttered to the guards behind you.

They walked past you as you leaned on Hoseok. Not even a step further you felt yourself faint from the lose of blood and a whisper of Hoseoks voice could be heard in the back of your mind.

When you awoke it was to the sun shining through the window at the furthest wall in the room. At first you felt no pain, but that quickly changed as you tried to sit up.

“You need to be careful Y/N.” Hoseok said as he pushed you down again.

“Your wounds are healing well, but you lost a lot of blood it will take some time for your system to adapt to that.” He explained while mixing herbs in a mortar.

“And Jimin? Did he awake yet?”

“Yes, he woke up the day before yesterday.” Hoseok answered making you flinch, how long had you been out?

“How long have I been sleeping?” You asked turning towards Hoseok who was still fidgeting with the herbs.

“Three days.” He mumbled.

“Three days?! I have to get up, the others will want Jimin in their custody.” You exclaimed as you stood up, for a moment the world spun around you and you fell to the bed again.

“Y/N! You have to stay in bed and let your body heal!”

“Hoseok, I agreed with Seokjin and the others that Jimin would be transferred to Josumi, 6 days after we got him. I have to see him.” You sighed and ruffled your already messy hair.

“And? Isn’t that good then we don’t have to worry about him.” Hoseok stated as his herbs were finally done. He turned you so your back was facing him, and started smearing the mix onto your wounds. You almost moaned when the cold mix touched your skin immediately relaxing it.

“Hoseok you know Josumi’s ways with people they deem traitors, they tortur them. If Jimin goes to Josumi it would mean even more chaos. Jimin would feel betrayed and he would make sure a war would start. I can’t let him go to Josumi.” You muttered in a small voice. You felt Hoseok slow his movements behind you. A sigh left you when you knew what Hoseok was going to say.

“Don’t tell me... Y/N? Do you still have feelings for the guy?” He asked his voice quiet.

You stayed quiet before Hoseok, not knowing how to answer. Did you have feelings for Jimin? You didn’t know, all you knew was that Jimin would not be going to Josumi. Josumi was a warm place filled with deserts of sand, and no places to hide. Jimins kind was not meant to be in an environment like that. Further more Yoongi was known to be a fair yet ruthless ruler, if he deemed someone unworthy of his time or trust he would make sure to find that persons weakest link and use it against them.

Even though Jimin had disrespected your kind, your pride and your feelings, you never wanted the things going on in Josumi to happen to him.

“Y/N, he betrayed you, he used your feelings against you! How can you still care about him when he doesn't deserve you?!” Hoseok ranted behind you while fuming around in the room.

You couldn’t blame Hoseok for being angry with you. It had been him who had seen you the queen of birds of prey at your worst, he had comforted you the night Jimin had made sure to tear you apart.

Jimin and you had known each other much longer than most people knew about. Your fathers had been good friends when you were younger. They often met in Tefany where they would put you and Jimin together to practice your training skills. You grew up each summer in Tefany with Jimin by your side. And each summer each of you bloomed even more. You were always so impatient for the summer break where your father would take you to Tefany and you could see your beloved friend, and crush.

You remember the long summer days with practice in the rose filled garden, and Jimins loving smiles. And the nights where you two would shift to your animals and run wild in the beautiful nature.

You also remember the summer where everything crashed, you were 17 then, Jimin 18.

“Jimin! What’s happening?!” You asked as you ran up to the fuming boy. The guards from the palace had woken you up and hurried you out of the castles walls. They had dragged you to the garden filled with roses of different colors where you found Jimin racing around.

“You let them right to us!!” Jimin roared at you his eyes turning yellow in the evenings darkness.

“W- what are you talking about?” Your voice quivered. You had never seen Jimin this upset before, his hair messy and his eyes filled hate. You would be lying if you said you weren’t scared.

“The vampires! They are inside now! You let them to us when you insisted on taking that evening walk!!” Jimin shouted walking up to you and pushing you into a rose bush. Their thorns bore into your skin, you whimpered in pain and quickly fiddled out of the bush.

“What..? But we always take evening walks. I- I-” Childish tears of broken love rushed to the surface of your eyes and spilled on your blood kissed cheeks.

“I told you we should stay at the castle tonight! That there have been rurmors of vampires! And now look what you have done!!” Jimin had never looked at you like that, hate filed eyes just like the thorns in your skin.

“Y/N!” You heard your father’s secure voice yell as he came running from the castle with a few guards. You ran to his embrace crying into his shoulder. He didn’t know the true reason for your tears, only you and Jimin knew.

“My father?!” Jimin begged, and you felt your father’s embrace loosen as he looked over at the young boy’s hoping eyes.

“Jimin... H- he didn’t make it.”

That summer changed everything between you two, and your kingdoms. Jimins hatred towards you started wars. He was the new king of Valsinto, and only two years later when your father died you became queen of Felan.

Your pasts were unknown to the people, but between you two it was the reason for the wars between your kingdoms. The other rulers never understood what had started the obstacles between two well held kingdoms, suddenly there were just two rulers who hated each other.

Your biggest fear was for people to discover your past. That you were the reason for a kings death. And even if you had been told to not believe those words you could not stop believing in them.

It was your fault that Jimins soul was broken, and you were afraid to try and do anything about it. You hated him, and you hated yourself.

He had made sure to let the other kingdoms know that the reason behind the wars was you. He never told them anything about the night, only that you were the reason for it all.

You were done believing that you were at fault. And you were even more done being afraid of your past, it was time to embrace it.

On the nursing bed your tears spilled from your eyes just like that night so many years ago.

Hoseok sat down beside you and patted your arms. His anger always vanished when he saw his friend’s tears.

You had spent many years believing Jimins words, because you cared for him. It was that care that broke you over and over again.

He was blinded by his anger, he needed something to punch, and you so happened to be his punching bag.

but you were done being a punching bag, you were a proud creature, you weren’t weak anymore.

“Y/N, if you really love Jimin, you need to wake him up from his anger. You can’t keep standing by and let him hurt you.”

You knew that, but how were you supposed to make him realize what he was doing?

The day after you found yourself circling the entrance to the dungeons where you knew Jimin would be.

You had always played a big game in front of Jimin, never letting him see how his words hurt you. You may have feelings for the man, but you were first of all the queen of the kingdom Felan. If you showed your weakness to any of the four rulers it could have been used against you.

Now things had changed. If you didn’t show your weakness now, it could be catastrophic. Yoongi would be here tomorrow to pick up Jimin, and you had to figure out what Jimins plan was before he was taken away.

You knew he wouldn’t meddle with vampires no matter what, but you also knew that there in fact had been vampires on shapeshifter teoritory.

When you finally walked down the cold corridor you wanted to run up again. Yet you felt yourself move forward with a determination you didn’t know you had.

“Your majesty.” The cold hall was filled with guards by each of the cells housing the worst kinds of traitors and killers. As you walked by each of the guards bowed their head in respect, filling your heart with confidence.

The prisoners each yelled when they saw you who was the reason for their capturing. They rushed to the doors trying to break free and get the enjoyment of killing you. The look in their eyes frightened you deep down, but the royal blood which floated in your core forced you to lock eyes with them. Your eyes would never show the fear you had for them.

Fear for yourself had never reached you, it was the fear for others that really terrified you enough to show.

You reached the door at the end of the hallway too quickly for your own liking, you knew behind that door was your greatest everything in one person, your greatest war, greatest insecurity, greatest love, and all was placed in Jimin.

The door was opened for you by one of the guards and the sight behind it wasn’t idyllic.

Jimin was hung up by his hands, his head lulled forward and his legs barely standing. You could faintly hear drops of blood hit the floor. In the living light hung beside him his skin was painted in warm colors.

When you looked over the claw marks from your own hand you felt a pang of guilt, yet it was overwhelmed by the sadness he had caused you.

“Get a doctor. Take your time.” You said to the guard who had opened the door.

You stepped towards him with echoes following your high heels.

“Come here to mock?” You slowed as you heard his voice. It was deprived of water, yet there was still poison in his mouth.

You said nothing as you walked closer to his cage. When you were stood in front of him you waited till he lifted his head and looked at you. You weren’t sure how you looked in his eyes, if you look scared, sad or full of pity, all you knew was that finally for the first time you were truly angry at Jimin for the pain he had caused you.

All the anger you had never felt came rushing to you when you looked at him like this. All his punches had been for nothing? His malicious words was in vain, he had lost this battle.

And the worst thing: he lost the battle not to you, but to himself when he started engaging with vampires.

“Why...?” You hesitated, as if to keep your anger to yourself.

Jimin didn’t say anything, all he did was lift his weak lips into a smirk. The claw marks from his jaw to his cheek dripped blood to the smirk painting it in red.

“Why Jimin?!” You punched the bars in front of him, yet he didn’t flinch.

Jimins smirk faltered just the slightest, something you noted into your mind for later.

His head once again lulled down to hang from his shoulders, as if he didn’t want to carry the weights on his shoulders anymore. In your anger you opened the door in front of you and fumed over to him. Griping him by his jaw you heard him hiss, a thing which would have slowed you before, yet you kept pressing into his skin making him look into your eyes.

“why...” You whispered. The black in his pupils crumbled before you as the hurt in your eyes showed itself for the first time.

There was an unspoken understanding between you two, an understanding you had only ever felt 10 years ago. This new yet old connection between you two made a seed of hope bloom inside you, maybe he was still there.

Yet you didn’t know if it would change anything between you two, the damage was too big and your kingdoms had suffered because of your childish behavior, people had died.

You couldn’t allow yourself as the queen of your kingdom to fall for the man who had caused parents to die.

You sighed as you threw his face out of your hold.

“Why did you engage with vampires Jimin?” You demanded but like before he stayed silent before you. It irritated you.

“Look I am trying to help you here, tomorrow Yoongi will come to take you and we both know that his ways of getting information is much more remorseless than mine.” Your heels clicked for each step you took on the stone covered floor.

Jimin was dressed in clothes from the battle as he didn’t get a chance to change.

“Why should I believe you want to help me?” His raspy voice groaned as his shackles rattled. He tried to stand, but you saw how his legs gave up under him.

Suddenly you regretted saying the guard could take his time.

You walked up to him by his side and placed your arm on his back lifting some of his weight from the ground.

“Because I don’t hate you like you hate me. And unlike you I remember the times before that night.” You expressed making him look at you.

The two of you held the eye contact. His black ears atop his ebony filled hair twisted ever slightly.

“Y/N I didn-”

“Your majesty the doctor is here.” The guard interrupted making you sigh. You almost had him hooked around your finger, one more minute and you could have learned about his plans.

You knew Jimin didn’t corporate with vampires. But what he was doing with them was a mystery.

After you had let go of Jimin the doctor went up to the weak man and started tending his wounds. You stayed in the room together with the guard, keeping an eye on the panther.

Jimin had often made it clear he hated bird shifters, he didn’t deserve your trust yet.

You could see the struggles from the doctor when he had to tend the big wounds on Jimins stomach. His clothes was made of amor, something which was placed tightly to his body.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t get his shirt off without taking the shackles off your majesty.” He said with a bow.

“Take the shackles off.” You said to the guard beside you. The guard turned to you with a bewildered expression.

“But your majesty he could try to-”

“I said Take. Them. Off.” You commanded locking eyes with the guard who immediately followed your orders and walked over to release Jimin.

Jimin fell to the ground with a thud. He groaned as he took ahold of his sore wrists and massaged them. They were red with bruises all around from the shackles. You almost felt sorry. Almost.

“Hurry and stabilize him before he loses to much blood.” You said to the doctor and sat down on a small chair placed in the corner of the room.

Your own wounds were starting to feel sore, you would have to find Hoseok after and get some of that magical herb mix he had made. When you looked at Jimin and the way he twisted on the floor you considered lending him some of the mix as well.

When the doctor was finished Jimin had fallen asleep on the floor, his body shivering from the pain and the cold.

“His wounds doesn’t look to good, your majesty. I will have to keep check on him for a week or two too see if the medicin is working.” He said after cleaning the blood of his hands.

You cursed yourself for not having given him a doctor instantly after the fight, yet Jimin had given you no reason to care for him and he still hadn’t. But with Yoongi arriving tomorrow and Jimin being in such a bad condition, you knew there was a risk of him not making it through his visit in Josumi.

“We don’t even have two days doctor, mr. Yoongi will be arriving tomorrow to take him. Isn’t there something we can do now?” You urged. But the look on the doctors face said it all. Jimin would be dead if he didn’t get the right treatment, and it would be because of you.

“Hoseok what should I do?!”

After the incident you had gone straight to Hoseok searching his perspective on the situation. You needed a hawks eyes on this matter.

“First you need to calm down, you’re stressing your body with all this marching around.” He emphasized. His eyes followed your moving form marching around in his room.

You groaned as you took a seat on his bed.

“I still don’t understand why it’s so important to you. Jimin has done nothing to deserve your distress.” He said.

“I know.”

“Then why are you stressing so much over it?!” Hoseok exclaimed standing up from his old armchair making the legs of it squeak against the floor.

“Because Jimin knows something!!” You screamed at Hoseok as you too stood up facing him.

You saw how his anger slowly retreated and his shoulders relaxed. His eyes looked over your face- scrunched in absolute chaos, sadness, confusion, anger, confidence, determination, there were to many emotions on your face which Hoseok rarely saw, it scared him in a way.

You composed yourself, letting your hands sweep over your face and down your dress, after seeing your friend sigh.

“Hoseok I know you think I’m only this distressed because it’s Jimin, and we have a past...” You frowned remembering back to a few nights before you got to know of Jimins vampire business.

“But Jimin really does know something.”

Hoseok who had turned away from you frowned hearing your words. They sounded so serious, and in a moment he got the idea that there was something you weren’t telling him.

“What do you mean ‘Jimin knows something’? Is there something you’re not telling me Y/N?” He said still not looking at you but crossing his arms over his chest. It was clear he was hurt by you yelling at him.

“... There is.” You finally admitted making him spin towards you. His face was scrunched up, skepticism visible.

“You mean to say to me that there are informations you didn’t tell me?! For how long have you been keeping secrets?”

“Hoseok I’m not keeping secrets, you can trust me.” You walked towards him, but he walked backwards.

“You clearly have been keeping secrets if there are things you haven’t told me.” He yammered.

“I had to! Hoseok believe me when I say that the things going on right now is dangerous! It’s bigger than you, me, even Jimin! I was trying to protect you and Naia!” You begged fumbling towards your most trusted friend.

Hoseok and you had been friends ever since you could remember, your past went back to the same time as yours and Jimins. Hoseok had stood by your side through thick and thin, yet you knew that the one thing Hoseok hated was dishonesty, and right now it looked like you were the dishonest one.

When hearing your words and swallowing what you were saying Hoseok forced himself to calm down. He knew you wouldn’t try to hurt him on purpose.

“...Tell me what’s going on Y/N and I will help you figure out what to do.” He reasoned and sat down again. You could still see the anger in the twists of his eyebrows and the fiddling of his hands, but your happily took what he offered of peace.

You sat down in front of him on his bed.

“You remember two weeks before the news of Jimin interfering with vampires?”

Hoseok shook his head and looked to you with a questioning look.

“No, what does that have to do with anything?”

“Everything.”

In a fresh night of spring laughter could be heard from a small cottage placed in the outskirts of the village placed in the kingdom Felan. It was you, Hoseok and his wife Naia who finally found time to get together and enjoy wine over a meal.

“So you’re telling me, my husband flew straight into a tree when you played catch?” Naias light voice said making a laugh spring from your mouth.

“Yes! He was so into the game that he flew straight into the trunk.” You exclaimed making Naia roll over with her wineglass in hand.

“Hey! To my defends we were only 14 and I wasn’t very good at maneuvering!” Hoseok defended, but it only made it worse for himself, as Naias laughter intensified.

“Yea yea keep telling yourself that... Wait, is the time so many? I have to get back to the castle! They’ll be expecting me to a meeting at 9 o’clock.” You exclaimed getting up from your comfortable seat.

Hoseok and Naia both complained, but none the less followed you to the door to say their goodbyes.

That night you had on purpose let you horse stay back at the castle as you still loved your night walks. The night walks had followed you since you and Jimin had started doing them.

Thinking of him would always make your heart clench with sorrow. You never understood how he could get so angry at you, keep you at such a big distance, had he never felt anything for you?

You had walked through the woods in your own thoughts being totally lost in your head, when you had heard a weird sound. The sound didn’t only awake you from your thoughts it made hairs rise on your arms.

The sound had sounded like a vampires teeth sinking into flesh, a sound which had all your senses alert.

Though scared you walked towards the sound, you weren’t queen for nothing and if one of your citizens were in danger you would sacrifice your life.

“...what do you mean you don’t know?...” A voice you had never heard before said. It was a horrid voice, high pitched, only a vampire could have such voice.

“I mean I don’t know! The person won’t reveal themself, they write there’s too much at risk.” Another more well known voice whispered. You felt your nails grow when you heard the voice of your own royal adviser and how he was whispering together with the vampire.

The adviser had been in your family for years, he had served your father before yourself. You couldn’t understand what he was doing with a vampire.

The voices became louder as you came closer to the culprits. Your dress was lifted in your hands to not make a sound. You would’ve shifted into your falcon if it wasn’t because they would hear you.

“Find out who it is! I need more information! The last piece and we got them.” The voice spat.

You tried to get closer to get a look of the vampire, but it was limited how close you could get before the vampire would smell your blood.

“All our planning for years will finally be fulfilled. We just need him dead.” The vampire whispered before eventually it was gone in the blink of an eye. You couldn’t feel the presence of it anymore.

“Wait! What does this even mean Y/N?” Hoseok wondered out. Even though he understood the words coming from your mouth he couldn’t connect the dots.

You sighed sitting on the edge of the bed with your fists full of hair.

“Don’t you understand Hoseok?! There are spies everywhere giving information to the vampires! Hell we didn’t even realize Jasper was on their side, yet he has been giving information to them always!” You whisper-shouted at your best friend.

It was as if a light opened in Hoseoks eyes when you put it that way.

“They have been planning for years Hoseok... Every little attack which has happened was planned, every detail in our meetings they know, they know everything about every of our kingdoms.” You whispered your voice hopeless.

Hoseok walked over to sit beside you and you felt his arm give you a squish into him.

“When I found out about Jasper I took him and a few trusted guards with me to a safe house no one but I knew the location of... There I got him to talk.” You explained.

The memories of Jasper in that house still filled you with horror. The things you made yourself do to get information out of him disgusted you, but you knew it had to be done, he couldn’t be trusted.

“Did you know that the attack all those years ago was planned? The attack back in Tefany...” You said and Hoseok quickly caught up to your words.

“Wait... but that means-”

“It wasn’t my fault. Me and Jimin didn’t lead any vampires back with us to the castle, they already had everything planned. It wasn’t me who killed Jimins father. That’s why I’ve been so chaotic- Everything I believed was false, I don’t know if I hate Jimin, love him, or if i hate myself, love myself. I just don’t know anymore.” You said tears finally prickling underneath your eyes.

To think that you had blamed yourself for so many years, that Jimin blamed you, and finding out it wasn’t your fault made all the weights on your shoulders float away. It was as if someone pulled you up from overflooding water and made you breath again, but then they dumped you in all the chaos.

“Well this is both terrific and good.” Hoseok said and you could only chuckle in agreement. Good for you that it wasn’t you who was at fault, terrific because if it wasn’t an accident it meant something bigger was roaming around. Something messed up in the royal activities.

“You said the vampire mentioned someone having information, I assume a traitor or spy? But wasn’t there also another person they wanted dead? Someone who knew too much maybe?” Hoseok asked whereas you nodded.

“Do you know who any of them is?” He asked.

“No... Jasper didn’t know who the traitor was and he wouldn’t tell me who the vampires wanted to kill... I did get- get some kinds of hints though.” You said uncertainty in your tone.

“Now listen to me Jasper... We can do this the easy way or the hard way. As far as I’m concerned the easy way isn’t as hard to clean up afterwards, but you decide.” You explained making the old man before you gulp.

“You don’t scare me Ms. Y/N. I’ve known you since you were a baby, you won’t hurt me.” Jasper said his trembling telling you of his hypocrisy.

“Tell me who is it that shares important information with the vampires?” You demanded, but Jasper stayed silent.

You took ahold of his wrinkled hands tied to the chair, and there your nails grew to their full extent cutting into his skin slowly and painfully. His cries echoed in the room, making some of your soldiers turn away.

“Let’s try again. Who shares our information with the vampires?” You again commanded this time your voice stronger and closer to his ear.

“I don’t know who it is! I was trying to find out for the vampires so they could get some specific information they needed!” He whimpered making you retreat your nails from his hands.

“Surely if you’ve tried to solve this, you must have a clue. Tell me.” This time you grabbed around his neck. Beneath your fingers his pulse was beating in the mercy of your hand, one cut and it was over for your old adviser. He whimpered louder than before.

“Alright! Alright! All I know is that it’s someone from high ranks! The information they had is top classified.” He shouted.

“How high ranks?” You asked letting your nails touch the thin skin on his neck.

“Ranks as in the kings and queens!”

You had stopped there taking two steps back. Your soldiers had look confused of the snippets they were hearing. You had known this vampire thing were serious, yet that there was a chance at your own collogues being the culprits- that took you by surprise.

“There was someone who the vampires wanted to kill, who?” You continued. Jasper saw how your eyes darkened when he revealed that your royal friends weren’t as friendly as you originally thought. He saw the child he had known fade away in front of his eyes, and that frightened him.

You never had mercy for traitors.

“I- I won’t tell you.” He stammered. You slowly walked over to him and leaned your sleek form over him. If he wasn’t going to tell you, then you would make him.

“If you don’t tell me... I will make sure to paint my white roses red with your blood, whereafter I will make the vampires lick the petals clean.” You said making a promise to him which you would not break.

You would make his skin open like a zipper and watch the blood flow out of him, like classic vampire style. Only you didn’t do it for your own pleasure, you did it for your people.

“You can do what you want, I fear the vampires more than I fear you. But it’s funny to know that you’ve already seen the cry of help, from him.” Jasper said a hysterical laughter running out of his mouth.

“So, what does that mean? ‘You’ve already seen the cry for help from him’?” Hoseok phrased making you shrug.

“I’ve tried to figure that out for weeks now. Ever since the night I heard the vampire and Jasper I’ve been alert of the royals, I have my own spies in every kingdom, but they haven’t gotten anything.” You explained as you again started marching around in Hoseoks room.

“Why didn’t you inform me of this sooner Y/N? You’ve been going around with this on your shoulders, it has been stressing you out.” Hoseok said as his eyes followed you.

“I didn’t want to drag you into this game. For them it’s all a big game of thrones which they laugh at when they play. For us it’s life or death. If the wrong people find out that we know this much it’s over. We don’t know who we can or can’t trust.” You explained.

“Let’s sum up what we know so far.” Hoseok said making you stop and nod in agreement. There was so much to keep track of.

“We know that the vampires is planning something, and that they have been planning for years. We know that Jasper was a spy for them, and he’s dead. We know that there are two people who is very important to us right now: One who is a traitor, and one who could have informations which might give us the win.” Hoseok listed one after another, you nodded for each thing he said.

“But I don’t understand what all of this has to do with Jimin, you said that he knows something.” Hoseok recalled.

You walked over to his desk leaning your form on it and crossed your arms over your chest.

“If I’m honest I don’t know if he knows something. But it was all just too suspicious, two weeks after I found out about Jasper and Jimin is found corporating with vampires. I know he would never work together with vampires. He hated me for thinking I lead a vampire to his father, he hates them even more for actually killing him.” You explained not looking into his eyes. You knew Hoseok would be skeptical of your reasoning, but he hadn’t known Jimin like you had.

Jimin was a man of honor, even if he had hurt you in ways you couldn’t forgive he still had dignity. He wouldn’t ever corporate with vampires.

“Y/N did you ever consider that maybe Jimin is the one giving informations to the vampires?” Hoseok asked. He noticed how your face frowned just the slightest bit.

“Think about it, maybe he blames you so much that in his hatred towards you he forgot who the real enemy is. He could have been the one leaking informations.” Hoseok explained trying to convince you. You shook your head refusing to believe what he was saying.

“No because I think that’s what they wants us to believe.” You argued, but you could already see that none of you were giving up.

You were about to give another argue when a light bubble lit up in your mind thinking back to your words.

If you were right and the vampires wanted you and the other royals to believe that Jimin was the villain, then maybe it was truly because he was the victim.

You stopped yourself from continuing making Hoseok frown. He could see on your face that you thought of something, as if something important flashed in your head.

“Hoseok I just got an idea.” You implied. You walked with determined steps over to his chamber door and was about to walk out when he stopped you.

“Wow, hey stop! What are you thinking Y/N? Tell me!” He grabbed your arm and made you turn towards him.

“Hoseok I swear I will tell you, but I need to find out if my theory is true. I’ll come back in an hour or two.” You said as you wriggled out of his hold and ran out of his door.

Hoseok stood quietly and looked after you as your dress flowed after your retreating form. A curse left his lips when he realized that you were slowly slipping out of his reach to save.

After the episode with Hoseok you ran straight to your own room to find the letter Jimin had send you not too long ago.

After it had been discovered that Jimin and the vampires were working together and it had been settled that you would go to war against Jimin, he had send you a very hateful letter.

At that time you had been confused with all that was going on, you hadn’t known what to believe.

Now that you finally figured out what to believe and what not to believe you understood the words of Jasper. ‘You’ve already seen the cry of help, from him’

If Jimin really was the victim, and you had seen a cry of help from him, then maybe this letter was more than just hateful words. You hoped that there was a message in it you hadn’t seen before, a message like you and Jimin used to make when you would send each other letters after each summer.

If there was that would mean you were right, and Jimin was targeted to die because he had discovered something he shouldn’t have.

You ran around your room throwing your drawers open to find the letter. You knew you had kept it, you kept everything Jimin send you.

After the third drawer you finally found the letter. You remember the first time you read it. It had been in the silence of the night with only one candlelight to keep you company. At first you had screamed in anger while throwing it away. A little later you found yourself biting into your thumb to keep your sobs to yourself.

As you read through it again there was still the same hurting feelings somewhere, yet they were hidden by your determination.

To miss Y/N, ruler of Felan.

.I curse your name to the devil every time I .need to hear it. .Your kind has always been a disgust. Always begging others for .help. And it is you, .Y/N, who rules over that race.

.I .am sickened by your .innocent act. .Please, it was you who killed my father, and that the others .trust you is a mystery to .me.

.Don’t think that I will ever .trust you again. .Anyone .else could hurt you and I wouldn’t care.

- .Jimin.

When you were done reading the letter a laughter escaped you. How could you not have seen the message?

I need your help, Y/N. I am innocent. Please trust me. Don’t trust anyone else. - Jimin.

Knowing Jimin was the person the vampires wanted dead terrified you. Right now Jimin was set to go to Josumi tomorrow, he had some heavy injuries because of you, and everyone in the five kingdoms was suspecting him.

You couldn’t prove him innocent. Only if you found the true traitor who had been giving the vampires clues about royal affairs, if you found that person, then it could prove Jimins innocence.

You ran with the letter in your hand down through the big empty hallways of your castle. The guards who usually would stand and keep and eye of the castle weren’t anywhere to see. You knew something was wrong, someone had ordered the guards away from their posts.

When you reached the dungeons you felt shivers hit your skin, the coldness from down there seemed to be more relentless than before.

Your steps echohed in the corridors, just as before there were prisoners shouting at you, you hurried past them finally reaching Jimins door and when you pulled it open you were about to greet him, but stopped suddenly.

“Hoseok? What are you doing here?” You asked in the doorway. Hoseok was standing in front of Jimins cage his back turned to you.

But when he turned there was a smile on his lips, the same loving look in his eyes and sigh leaving his mouth.

“I was just checking if you were down here. I couldn’t understand why you suddenly left before, but I knew it had something to do with Jimin.” He said.

You looked at your best friend, he was the same as always nothing suspicious about him, yet the feeling in your gut told every of your senses to run.

“Yea, well you were right Hoseok. I was blinded by my past with Jimin to see that it’s him who is leaking our informations. I should have listened to you, I’m sorry.” You lied as you walked over to him and gave him a hug which he happily welcomed.

“I will let Yoongi take him tomorrow, they will know what to do with him.” You said looking at Jimin who’s face was a little swollen from the scars you had given him.

His eyes begged you not to do it. You could see it clear as day in him how his fright shined through. Jimin was weak and dying in that cell.

“Please... Y/N...” Jimin whimpered, but you were pulled out of the room by Hoseok who shook his head.

“He really thinks he can manipulate you with his tears.” He said walking with you out of the dungeons hand in arm.

“Yea... What a fool.” You said with hurt in your eyes, but instead of it being for Jimin, this time it was for the friendship you knew you were losing as you looked over at the same old Hoseok.

You stayed up wandering around in your room till 12 at midnight wondering if it really could be true.

“What do you mean ‘Jimin knows something’? Is there something you’re not telling me Y/N?”

“Why didn’t you inform me of this sooner Y/N? You’ve been going around with this on your shoulders, it has been stressing you out.”

“Think about it, maybe he blames you so much that in his hatred towards you he forgot who the real enemy is. He could have been the one leaking informations.”

Could Hoseok really be a spy?

You didn’t want to believe it, he had always been there for you, always listened to you. Always managed to make you laugh. And then what about Naia? Was she a spy too?

But with every excuse you made it only confirmed the lie. When you really thought about it you remembered all his victorious smirks when you told him of news in the royal affairs, you remember how he was always overly sweet as if it was forced.

Naia too had always smirked evilly in the shadows of your eyesight.

Again your heart shattered because of the war, but this heart wasn’t going to come back, you knew you had lost your best friend - a best friend you never had in the beginning.

Hoseok was a spy, and he knew you were close to the truth, too close to the truth. If you didn’t run now you were just as dead as Jimin.

That was why you walked down to the dungeons one last time this night. Jimin and you had to get out of the castle. As Jimin wrote there wasn’t anyone else you could trust, you couldn’t even trust your own friends.

Your breath was quietly panting as you moved down the stairs of the dungeon. All the prisoners were sleeping, making it easy for you to slip past them.

At the end of the hall a guard stood guarding Jimins room. You walked over to him your chin high.

“Your majesty what are you doing here at this time?” He asked a surprised look on his face.

“That’s truly none of your concern, but if you want to know then Mr. Seokjin asked me to take Jimin to Josumi myself. I leave with him tonight.” You said and luckily it worked because the guard stepped aside and let you get through.

When the doors opened Jimin was already looking over at you confused. He had heard you two out there using his exceptional good hearing. He frowned looking at you running over to his door and realising his handcuffs.

“Y/N? What is happening?” He asked looking at your serious features. He knew you had been lying to that guard, but what your true intentions were was still unknown.

“No time for questions Jimin, we have to get out of here.” You said and hooked his arms around your shoulder which he happily complied to. You lifted him with all your strength.

“When we’re out of Felan you can shift to your panther once again and heal. Then we’ll run, you’ll have to follow me.” You explained as you together walked out of the dungeons. The guard kept looking after you, but he didn’t ask questions that wasn’t his job after all.

You could feel how Jimin was holdning onto you tightly almost begging you not to let him go. His ears atop of his head twisted in every way listening if there was anyone after you two.

“I hear Hoseok talking to someone in the hallway over there.” Jimin whispered and pointed to a hallway behind you two which you knew let to your chamber. Your eyes widened realizing that Hoseok was probably going to your room to kill you.

“We have to hurry Jimin. Hoseok can-”

“can’t be trusted I know.” He finished for you.

Jimin walked faster rushing the way you were leading him. He could feel how the stiches your doctor had made were popping up one after another, he wanted to scream in pain yet he had to stay quiet in order to not get attention.

You were almost running along with Jimin, your legs were throbbing from caring his weight, but you kept going.

You had just reached outside of the castle when you heard guards shouting orders around. You and Jimin locked eyes both knowing they had discovered your disappearance.

Both you and Jimin upped the speed to a new level. Even with your training as a soldier you were exhausted, there was a major wound on your back, which was still extremally painful and there was a moisty taste of iron in your mouth. When you looked over at Jimin he wasn’t doing much better.

The wound from his jaw was bleeding, and there was salvia hanging from his mouth. He looked as if he would faint in any moment.

You saw the edge of the somber forest just as Jimin informed you that the guards had found you.

“They have found us Y/N, they’re talking about how they can see us.” He said with his ears twisted backwards.

You looked behind yourself and Jimin and true enough, with your good sight you could see the guards some meters away from you. You couldn’t hear what they were saying, but it was clear that some of them shifted into their birds to fly after you.

“You have to run Jimin! When you reach the forest you can shift and heal. I’ll keep them occupied.” You yelled pushing him forward and stopping yourself.

When you turned back feathers broke out from your skin and your mouth grew into a beak. It took seconds for you to shift.

Those seconds were enough for the first guards to reach you.

When the first one came they tried to dug under you to get to Jimin, but you blocked them and with your claws tore through one of the wings. The bird howled and crashed into the harsh ground with a bang.

You didn’t enjoy hurting your own guards, but there was nothing else to do but fight.

When the second guard came they took the fight with you instead of trying to get to Jimin.

The guard plunged into you with the strength of their harpy eagle and thereby flung you around in the air. When you finally recomposed he was already on his way to Jimin and more was coming towards you.

Jimin wouldn’t make it in time to the forest before the harpy eagle, so you quickly flew up into the sky and there dove down to the harpy eagle.

Your peregrine falcon was the fastest bird in the world, so with the dive you reached the eagle on seconds and with your claws ready to attack you took the harpy eagle out.

Jimin who had heard the fight not far behind him turned to see what was happening. Your feathers were splattered with blood as you tossed another bird away from you resulting in it crashing to the ground.

You kept fighting them one by one buying Jimin time, but more kept coming and you were getting tired. New scars had been made by the guards and the old one was slowly popping up in the stitches.

When you were at you lowest and there was a group consisting of 6 birds coming towards you all birds bigger than yourself you knew fleeing was the only option.

But as you turned a black stribe shot forward picking up the fight where you left it. You watched on the sideline as Jimin fought against the birds in his large panther.

His hind legs consisted of an incredible muscle, which made him able to reach absurd heights.

He would jump into the air and grib onto one of the birds while they tried to get some damage done, but it was impossible for them to take the panther down.

You on the other hand wasn’t doing as well as Jimin. Your body was giving up because of tiredness resulting in you changing back to human.

Jimin heard you hit the ground behind him with a thud. He looked back to your form lying lifelessly of the ground smudged in blood from your old and new wounds.

Worry filled his body when he saw you there on the ground, so when he had fought the last soldier of the big group he ran towards you and raised you onto his back.

Soldiers were shouting behind him as they tried to reach him, but he ran off into the woods with you on his back and a beating heart in his throat.

The sun streaming in through dusty windows and the smell of freshly baked buns woke you from a sleep you weren’t aware you were in. Your body were clothed in new more comfortable clothes than the ones you had on yesterday.

When you realized you didn’t know the place you were in panic erupted in you. You managed to get out of bed and take a few steps around before you remembered last night.

“Y/N? Are you okay?” A voice sounded behind you, when you turned it was to Jimins worried face. He was clothed in trousers and a beige earthly shirt. He looked good standing with the sun hitting his eyes coloring them light brown, his hair was damp with drops still dripping to the ground.

“W- where are we?” You asked ignoring Jimins question.

The room you were in seemed to be a living room with connected kitchen. Every corner was decorated with plants of different greens and small nips you usually would see in a witch cottage. The colors were earthly and balanced.

Wherever you two were it was homely and light, it made you feel good.

“It’s my mothers old cottage.” Jimin explained.

You had never met Jimins mother, it had always been his father with him in Tefany, but when you were younger Jimin would often mention her. He used to tell you stories of her cottage and how her genes made him available to heal extremally fast whenever he was shifted to his panther.

Now that you stood in the cottage you understood his joy for it. The home smelled like fresh flowers and buns which you could spot on top of the kitchen counter.

Your stomach growled loudly making Jimins ears twist. A smile lifted to his face hearing your stomach, he walked over to the buns and threw one to you, softly yelling ‘catch’.

You looked down on the bun in your hand, golden brown and still warm.

When you teeth sunk into the soft bun and you felt the bread on your tongue a low moan of approval left you. The bun was surprisingly good. When you swallowed it was as if your pain went away, your back no longer hurting and your legs ready to run a marathon.

“It’s my mothers recipe, it should cure scars and wounds of all kinds.” Jimin explained.

You frowned going over to a mirror standing by the couch you checked to see your back, and true enough when you looked there was nothing. You heard Jimin sigh in relief - he didn’t want to be the cause of a deep scar on your back.

Looking over at him there was a thankful expression on your face, Jimin melted just the slightest bit seeing your adorable cheeks full of the bread he had baked. When he looked at you like this remembering back to yesterday night he couldn’t understand how he ever could’ve caused you pain in the first place.

You saved him last night.

And now you were so pretty almost flimsy in front of him. When he looked at you standing in his beloved mothers cottage in one of her old dresses he felt his heart beat a little faster for each blink of your eyes.

“Did you find my message?... In the letter?” Jimin asked pulling himself out of the trance named you.

“At first no, but later I did.” You answered. Jimin walked past you to sit in the couch, he turned to you signaling you over to the couch before him.

“You know we have a lot to talk about.” He said and you nodded in agreement, taking the seat he had offered the two of you fell into an easy yet heavy talk about the things you had found out, everything that you knew of the kingdoms and their rulers.

There was still one ruler who worked together with vampires on the loose, and they had to be stopped.

“What is it you know that they wanna kill you for?” You asked, maybe he knew more than you, yet you had an idea that Jimin knew just as much as you did, and if that was true your name was now too on the list of wanted dead.

“I caught one of my servants getting a letter from a vampire, it smelled like death. When I read it there was written that their plans on destroying the kingdoms would soon begin. That was months ago. I stopped their plan by finding all the spyes they had in my kingdom and killing them for treachery. Without the spyes in my kingdom they couldn’t carry out their plans.” Jimin explained.

You nodded hearing him talk, yet there was one thing which you had to know, there was one thing that was bugging you.

“Did you know they planned that night? That night in Tefany 10 years ago?” You asked, Your eyes were plastered to your shaking hands, your breaths was heavy. Jimin could hear your breathing from his spot.

When you saw Jimins own hands sneaking on top of yours and holding them tightly you felt sparks in your stomach. The heavy breathing slowed with his own and your eyes finally looked into his soft brown orbs.

“I found out from one of my spyes a few months before they framed me for being in lead with vampires.” Jimin said.

“Th- then why did you never write o- or see me? You never apologized!” You exclaimed distraught. You tried standing up to walk away from Jimin, but he grabbed your wrist forcing you to stay.

“Y/N listen to me. I am truly sorry over the way I’ve been treating you all these years... If I could take it back I- I would. I wanted to apologize- to hug you even, ever since I found out that it wasn’t our fault that night. It was never your fault, no matter if it had been an accident or not, it wasn’t your fault.” You could hear his voice break a few times and you could feel the small droplets hit your skin painting it with sorrow, yet you couldn’t turn around to look at him.

You wanted to be angry at him, and to stay angry at him- him who had caused you so much pain and self-loath for the past 10 years. But there was no anger in you to be found, only regret that those years were spent like they were, in a lonely castle without a real reason for keep going.

“I would have written to you, but at that time I didn’t know who I could trust, maybe there was someone in your castle who would have read my letter and killed you for it. And then I was accused of working with vampires and I knew you would hate me. Besides it would be suspicious if I suddenly didn’t hate you anymore, maybe the vampires would have thought that I was working together with you. I- I couldn’t put you in that kind of danger.” Jimin continued. When you heard his reasoning his voice softly smoothing in through every cell in your body, you finally understood.

You understood that maybe you weren’t the only one with feelings for the other. You understood Jimin for the first time in your life. Because you and Jimin found each other there in the middle of a war surrounded by demons pulling and twisting you away from each other, but it wouldn’t succeed for them this time.

You turned around with Jimins hand still holdning your wrist and his hair still damp and dripping drops of water onto you, and there you hugged him. He hugged you back, he hugged you back with an intensity you never had imagined.

The suns waves were illuminating the two of you through the rose filled windows and making your shadows small under your feet.

The next couple days were filled with laughter and healing. You and Jimin had decided to take some days off, no thinking about the war, no thinking about the kingdoms - only fun times with laughter and times of resting to get back energy.

Today Jimin had insisted in introducing you to the forest around you. You had been curious to see the forest from inside which looked so enchanting from the windows of the cottage.

You were on barefoot feeling the damp grass under your feet. You could smell all kinds of different flowers and animals.

“Keep up Y/N!” He yelled from inside the forest. You stood outside of it admiring the pixels of dust there seemed to be soaring in the air.

“I’m coming!” You yelled back and softly ran into the forest.

When you spotted Jimin he was sat squatted down with his back to you. You walked up to him letting your hands rustle through his light hair, it was soft from the shower he took this morning.

“See.” Was the only thing he said as he leaned back into your legs, giving you space to see what he was doing.

Down in Jimins hands were a little beige colored rabbit, rubbing it’s head into his hands and making small sounds you could barely hear. You were surprised the rabbit was so comfortable with a predator like Jimin and yourself.

“How can it be so comfortable with you?” You asked looking at Jimin who was already smiling up at you.

“I think it’s my mother it can sense in me. She used to be protector and feeder of these small guys- all of them actually.” Jimin said and pointed out over the forest where you suddenly could spot all kinds of forest animals.

There were tons of rabbits jumping towards you and Jimin, there were dears walking around the trees, there were squirrels and foxes, and a variety of birds. The forest was full of life.

Jimin looked at your stunned face with an awe in his eyes, he could see your excitement yet it was dulled down by nervousness.

“You wanna hold one of them?” He asked and gestured to another little white rabbit jumping towards you and sniffing the air.

“Won’t they get scared of me? I don’t have your mother in my genes.” You explained making Jimin chuckle. He laid the rabbit he was holding down, picked the white rabbit up and held it out to you. You took a step back still scared you would stress the little thing in Jimins hands.

“They won’t get scared of you Y/N, they can sense you’re no danger. It’s just like us when we’re in animal form. You don’t get scared of someone who doesn’t want to hurt you right?” He reasoned and you nodded softly at that.

Feeling yourself relax you took a step forward again and held out your hands to welcome the little guy. When Jimin laid the rabbit in your hold, you couldn’t stop awe-ing over how small it was.

The fur was soft and fluffy and it’s tail wacked. There were small noises coming from it as it began to make itself comfortable in your arms.

When you looked up to Jimin to show him your excitement you were surprised to find him already going around and greeting the animals as if they were old friends. You had thought he stood by you all along and that that was the reason for the rabbit being so calm with you.

You sat down on the ground with the little rabbit in your hold and it wasn’t long before more rabbits came towards you. They overflooded your lap with small whacking tails and long ears.

You laughed looking at them fighting for a good spot in your lap. When they calmed you looked up to see where Jimin was, he hadn’t walked far away knowing you would probably like if he was in sight.

Jimin was stood in front of a big deer bug, it’s antlers reached over his head. You eyes widen seeing such a royal looking animal- just like Jimin. Seeing them stand in front of each others like that almost doubled the awe you had for Jimin.

You had always liked Jimin to an extent were you couldn’t forget about him even when it hurt you, but having been together with him these couple of days, seeing a new and softer side to Jimin was melting something away in you.

Suddenly you never wanted to go back to your beloved castle and your people, you never wanted to be the queen of Felan and have respect from everyone. You wanted to stay in this cottage with your animal friends, baked buns in the morning and herbal tea in the afternoon, and most off all you wanted to wake up beside Jimin every morning to a smile making moons in his eyes and the sun shining down on you to warm up your bodies entwined with one another.

That was what you wanted.

And maybe someday you would have that.

“Well I see there was nothing to worry about.” Jimin said laughing seeing your lap and arms full of fur balls in different colors and sizes. You smiled up at him and rubbed one of the rabbits behind it’s ear.

“That’s Jungkook.” Jimin told you and pointed towards a black rabbit a bit bigger than the others sitting beside you.

“He’s a shifter too, he protects the rabbits from danger. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in human form. Y’know it’s normal for some shifters to-”

“To stay in their animal form their whole life.” You finished smiling up at Jimin. Sometimes he forgot you were a ruler too, knowing just as much as he did about shifters.

“If this is Jungkook, then who was the deer bug?” You asked looking over to find the deer Jimin had talked with, but he was already gone.

“That’s Namjoon. A shifter too as you may noticed. He’s the true protector of this forest. He lives in it and always makes sure to keep unwelcome guests out. Some call him the king of the forest.” Jimin explained with a smile as he sat down in front of you and caressed Jungkook behind one of his black ears.

A little time with comfortable silence passed before Jimin again spoke.

“I was thinking if you’d wanna take a flight through the forest, then I’d be up for taking a run.” Jimin said making you look up at him with wide eyes. Was it really okay for you too shift when your animals were both predators?

“Yes, it’s okay for us to shift even though we’re predators Y/N.” Jimin said reading your mind. An embarrassed smile crossed your face.

You really did need to shift soon, you could feel your bird getting impatient to get some wind under the wings, and it would be nice to take a stroll with Jimin, like you used to.

The rabbits each hopped down from you when they felt you stir and when the last was down you stood up.

“Well I could really use the flight.” You said a smile on your face. And just minutes after you and Jimin were shifting.

Jimin watched as feathers broke through your skin, as you mouth formed into a beak and your arms grew into wings. It looked so painful, yet elegant. Your normal eye color splashed into jet black reminding him of his own fur.

He felt something homely every time you and him shifted together, it brought him back to the time before the war, to a time were you and him did everything together.

The times back in Tefany were you would look at him with adorable admiration, because he always managed to protect you from the guards whenever you did something you weren’t supposed to.

Childhood with you and him had been innocent and pure, the truest things he had felt in life was in his childhood with you.

Jimin planted his large paws to the ground looking over at you with a glint in his eyes - then he ran.

He was already far away when you shrieked and flew into the air.

You reached him quickly. The jet black panther ran beneath you on the forest floor. His muscles clenched and unclenched as large roots laid underneath his paws.

You couldn’t help but watch closely how his back muscles moved under that heavy fur. You wanted to paint your hands black with his fur. You wanted to get your hands through the fur and feel his skin.

Your wings carried you down closer to Jimin, you could almost feel his fur with your claws like this. You reached down to his ear and nipped with your yellow beak making a purr erupt from the panther underneath you.

The forest around you was quiet. There was no animals in sight, only trees and bushes.

After a while of running you could feel Jimin slow down underneath you. You looked down at him and saw his teeth out and his ears flipping around listening after something you couldn’t hear.

You knew something was wrong. Jimin wouldn’t growl at other animals, and you yourself felt movement around the two of you.

Jimin stopped under you and you found a spot in a tree to land.

His chest was low, almost touching the ground. He was in attack stance.

This wasn’t good. You couldn’t see anyone around, but you had a bad feeling, as if you were being watched from somewhere.

“I gotta say it’s impressive, how you two managed to avoid getting caught back in Felan. But the games end here.” You wanted to howl when you heard the familiar feminin voice.

Of the three rulers who stood back you had been sure it wasn’t Selina who was the traitor. She had always been to innocent, a little too sweet to ever be able to do such a thing, but apparently that had all been an act.

You thought back to the meeting between four of five kingdoms were you had discussed Jimins fate. Selina had been so genuine concerned, asking you why you hadn’t shared your informations with the rest of the kingdoms. She was genuine concerned on her own behalf.

“Y’know when Jimin found out that there was one of the rulers who couldn’t be trusted, I was so afraid if he knew it was me. I had to find a way quickly to get him out of the picture.“ Selina said as she finally revealed herself from a dark corner in the forest.

“I never told the vampires or any of the spies who I was, exactly for this reason, so no one could ever find out it was me. But Jimin knew it was one out of four, so he could easily find out it was me. At first I sent a trusted spy, one you knew well Y/N. Jasper was obsessed with finding my true identity, so I promised him if he killed Jimin I would reveal my name.” Selina said with a smirk playing on her lips.

She was confident, walking around without a weapon and she couldn’t shift without water.

“But then Y/N- you overheard his little meeting with one of the vampires, and you prevented him from killing Jimin. I knew I had to be even more careful now, I needed you to believe it was Jimin who was the traitor, so I planted vampires in his castle and made everyone believe he was the betrayer.” Selina hissed with bitterness in her voice.

She was aggressive in her stance, anger clear in her blue eyes.

“Why didn’t you believe the evidence when you even had it yourself, you had spies telling you Jimin was with the vampires, yet you didn’t believe it, Why?!”

She glared up at you her teeth in her mouth growing sharp.

You shrieked before flying down and landing beside Jimin. Your falcon was caring you now, taking over for you and forcing you to show her, to show yourself.

She nipped Jimin at his snout, kissing his cheek and leaning into his fur, which you had wanted to through the whole run, your bird did it for you showed everyone your true feelings for Jimin who purred beside you.

“Ah... I see. You still have feelings for him. Him who betrayed you when my mother killed his father. Him who crushed you to the ground because he blamed you for the killing of his father.” Selina mused. She laughed loudly bending over and mocking you.

You didn’t get hurt by it, but it was clear that Jimin beside you was getting angry. His teeth were out in a growl and his legs were clenching- ready to attack.

“Should I tell her about that night Jimin?” Selina asked with innocent eyes. He growled louder beside you, he took a step forth almost going for her throat, but you stopped him by jumping in front of him and turning to her.

You knew her words were poisonous, but one other thing about Selina- Her kind couldn’t lie.

“That night 10 years ago when you broke Y/N’s heart! You know which night right?” She asked looking at you. You knew exactly which night. There was only that one night were Jimin really broke your heart.

“It’s your fault! Your fault that he died! I lost everything because of you and your childish behavior!”

“I hope I never have to see your ugly face again! And your stupid feelings! Did you really think I’d want you? You and your stupid bird. I want someone who can handle themselves, someone who’s beautiful, intelligent, funny! You will never be any of those things. You’ll always stay an ugly murderer!”

“He really told you off didn’t he?” Selina laughed. Jimin jumped over you with a roar and launched out after her, but before he could even touch her Jimin was pulled away by a familiar bird.

“Ah Hoseok! Right on time!” Selina said and clapped her hands. Hoseok who too was in shift, carried Jimin away from Selina and with his claws held him to the ground.

You squeaked and flapped your wings looking over at Jimin getting dirt in his face and blood flowing from Hoseoks claws.

You were about to fly over and attack Hoseok when Selina interrupted.

“Ah ah ah, I wouldn’t do that Y/N! You see if you as much as move one step towards Jimin Hoseok will rip his face apart! And you know he will!” Selina yelled looking over at Hoseok and smirking.

You stayed put, not moving a feather as you looked with sad eyes over at Jimin. He was looking at you too, communicating with his eyes, telling you to run. But you couldn’t- you wouldn’t.

“Were was I? Oh! That’s right, I was telling Y/N about out lovely night together Jimin! You remember it, right? How your fingers traced my breast, my hips down to my legs. Oh how you moaned that night! ‘Don’t stop! Keep going!” Selina laughed like a maniac when she looked over the two of you.

You who had given up fighting only listening to her words while falling to the ground in deverstation, and Jimin who was roaring and scratching to get out of Hoseoks hold to rip herself into pieces.

Like the sun shining brightly and getting blocked by a million clouds filled with flowing sadness, that was how you felt when you heard that Jimin had gone to Selina that night 10 years ago. The words he had said was nothing compared to the thought of him being with anyone else.

“And to think that you would actually die for this man. Him who has caused you nothing, but pain.” Selina continued this time pity in her voice, and her pity hugged your form like slimy sweat.

“Y/N. Believe me or not when I say I don’t want to kill you. You and I... we’re the only women to rule over a kingdom, and those men has always looked down upon us! You deserve respect! We deserve respect! Join me and together we will rule all of the five kingdoms! We will, with the help from the vampires, throw the kings off their thrones and take them! You and me together is undefeatable!”

You could hear in her voice she was confident that you would agree, she knew you were devastated, angry, and she was trying to use your emotions against everything you love?! Your people! Your fellow rulers! The peace! She was trying to make you betray that... She was trying to make you betray Jimin.

Carefully you pulled your form up from the ground. Even with no scars on your body, it was hurting as if a million knifes were stabbed into you. But you stood up proudly like your animal.

There in front of Selina, in front of Hoseok- your former best friend, and in front of Jimin, the man who had made you like this- Proud, a fighter, loyal. He who in your childhood had showed you love like a soft rose being offered to you, and then ripping it away like the thorns on it’s stalk tearing through you, he had helped you to become the women you were.

And even if he had hurt you before, you were not giving up on him, cause deep down you knew who Jimin was, and you knew he was worth fighting for like he was fighting for you right now.

Selina screamed when you flew into her and bore your claws into her skin - lifting her up into the air you flew faster than you had ever done. You had to get her to Tefany.

Behind you there was sounds of squeaks and howls from different kinds off birds. Among them you could hear Hoseok. Beneath you on the forest floor there was a black stripe following you, and you were relieved to know that Hoseok hadn’t hurt Jimin when you took Selina.

Selina tried her best to wriggle out of your claws, but the more she moved the tighter you made your hold, it wasn’t until you could feel her bone that she stopped moving.

When you reached out of the forest and onto Tefany territory, you could feel the birds behind you getting closer.

You had the castle in sight yet you weren’t sure you could reach there in time.

You just had to get to Jin. You had to complete your mission.

Underneath you Jimin was running. He didn’t understand what you were doing or where you were going at first, but when he finally realized you were going to Tefany he sped up.

You could spot him speeding up and running ahead to get to get help.

“Ms. Y/N, Could I have a word with you?” You were shocked to see king Seokjin behind your chamber door after you opened it.

Having just been to the meeting regarding Jimin and his kingdom Valsinto, you were tired and wanted to be alone after ripping up in old memories, but you lead Seokjin in as he was the ruler here, and the eldest of you.

“You said at the meeting you have spies in king Jimins castle, right?” Seokjin requested looking over your face with a serious air to him. Normally Seokjin was to the playful side, accept when the situation was deadly important.

“I do mr. Seokjin, why do you ask?” You could see in him the shift in his demeanor, as if he was distancing himself from you.

“Because somebody here is lying. You know that, but the question is, is it you?” Seokjin said as he again took a step back from you, ready to shift into his lion.

You sighed knowing you’d have to give up your informations to save yourself, you still didn’t know if you could trust Seokjin, but you would have to for now.

After the explaining and you giving up your informations to Seokjin, he too had told you he had a clash with a spy who had tried to kill him cause a vampire had ordered him too do it.

Seokjin had told you if it ever was necessary you could come to him for help, and if you found out who was behind you should come to him, and he would help you get rid of the traitor.

You hadn’t trusted him enough to go to him without knowing who the real betrayer was, now you knew, you had to get Selina to Seokjin. He besides Jimin was the only one you could trust, there were still too many spies in yours and Jimins kingdoms.

When you could spot Jimin coming back with an army behind him and Taehyung by his side you were almost howling in victory. Your wings couldn’t carry Selina and yourself much longer, and the birds behind you were getting closer and closer - you could almost feel their breaths in your nape.

When the clash between Tefany’s warriors and the spies happened it send echoes through the kingdoms. There were bones breaking, blood flooding and screams ringing.

It was like water and fire hitting together and making an explosion. You were the starting point.

When you reached the warriors it resulted in Selina wrinkling herself free from your clasp and Hoseok diving down catching her.

You were exhausted, your wings so weak that you fell to the ground. Jimin caught you - jumping in the air and catching you on his back.

Deep inside you there was still the heartbreak of Selinas words, but you pushed it down. A war was not the time to cry about your love.

You jumped off Jimins back and flew up into the air searching for Selina and Hoseok. You pushed the weakness of your wings away and fought through it. You had to find her, if she got away it would mean an even bigger war and this time with the vampires there too.

When you caught the two they had already reached the treeline to the forest. You dove down to the forest reaching it in minutes with the speed of physics.

The forest was dark, the tress around you not letting you see much. Yet you could still see the figures of Hoseok and Selina. They weren’t far.

Dodging tree after tree you caught up to them. You flew directly into Selina successfully knocking her to the ground. You made a sharp U-turn and again flew into them - this time not hitting any of them, but getting dragged to the ground by Hoseok.

He turned himself into his hawk and squeaked.

You and Selina were both up on your feet in seconds. Now you three stood opposite each other, waiting for someone to start the attack. You were outnumbered.

It was Hoseok who decided to start - shooting into you. You dodged by the skin of your teeth and again dodged as Selina ran to you with her claws out.

Now it was your turn - The two was lined up so you shot to them clawing Selinas arm, but missing Hoseok.

Selina screamed out as you again succeeded to hurt her. The wound on her shoulders with your claw marks already hurting. It was embarrassing her how easy it was for you to hurt her.

Hoseok blasted to you just after you had hurt Selina, catching you off guard he bore his claws into your stomach.

All the scratches, the tiredness, the weakness you felt, caught up to you when his claws ripped out of you again.

With a final squeak you were the one to fall first - you had lost this battle. Hoseok changed back and with a laugh stalked up to your form which was ripping back into human.

Selina came up behind him with a smirk and both looked down at your tired figure.

“Too bad. You would have won if you accepted my invitation.” Selina said a laugh on her lips.

She crouched down to you pressing her long nails into the fresh wound Hoseok had made. You screamed with the last energy you had.

“Instead I have to watch you die, die in the losing end of the Kingdoms.” She said.

Tears of pain came to your eyes as she pressed her fingers harder into the wound and laughed. But when she retreated her fingers in a rip and screamed you were the one to laugh.

“The only one to die is you!”

You wheezed in sorrowful happiness when you heard Jimins voice growl out in anger.

Jimin carried Selina by her throat and banged her into a tree. Behind him Hoseok was fighting in the tight grip of Taehyung.

“J- Jimin. You don’t want to kill me, remember all the good times we had!” Selina begged her voice messed up by his hands tightening around her voice cords.

“Oh but I do Selina. Ever since I discovered that it was your mother who killed my father, it was you who was the traitor and ever since you laid your hands on my mate! I’ve wanted to kill you for so long now.” He grunted through clasped teeth.

And there on the grass you watched as Jimins hands finally ended Selina and her whole plan of finishing her mothers works.

Jimin ran over to you, taking you in his arms he hugged you into him. You softly laughed when you finally felt his lips on you as he kissed your cheek.

“My love, I am sorry for everything.” He said tears in his eyes and blood on his hands.

“Don’t be. Everything will be good now.” You told him and held his cheek in your hand.

Jimin leaned down to you, and instead of kissing your cheek, this time he took your lips and caressed them in the best kiss you had ever had. And there in his arms with his lips to yours, you awoke.

When you woke up it was to a familiar feeling of sun in your face and sounds of various kinds of birds. The cottage.

Your eyes opened to the most wonderous sight you had ever seen.

In front of you was an angelic Jimin smiling down at you, and holding you in his arms. The sun was hitting his eyes making them sparkly.

He leaned down to you, catching your lips in a soft dance with his own. Your boyfriend had the softest lips you had ever felt - just like rose petals.

“Slept well?” He asked his voice hoarse.

“Better than ever.” You answered with a sweet smile.

“What did you dream about?” He asked as his hands caressed your waist with soft strokes.

“About kingdoms, and wars.”

Note

I think the last paragraph of your essay is perfectly illustrated by this sort of label he picked for himself, the Tailor of Chaos. A couple of months ago, I sent you an ask about it, talking about how he could have gone for a more obvious, perhaps, choice of words, and now I'm still in awe at the intricacy of what the term "tailor" conveys in this context. Anyone can be a just a Creator, and proclaiming oneself a God might sound powerful, but not all gods create. Now, being a Tailor takes a very specific set of skills to be developed with a purpose. It takes discipline and strictness to be able to have all these very different symbols and elements and stitch them together like patchwork to craft the disguises that grant him his freedom, and he leaves nothing up to chance. It is powerful, being this kind of self-made shapeshifter, and he sure knows it's certainly exciting for us not knowing what form he's going to take next

Well, you're right. Gods can also destroy.

I like how you framed your interpretation and I agree. Calling himself a tailor is really the appropriate word. Jimin is clearly incredibly skilled in creating his persona, or multiple and it looks effortless now. And just think of him in the beginning when he had to embody that role of the cute guy and also one who oozes hyper masculinity. There was nothing subtle there and the effort was visible to anyone who is able to understand such a struggle. He is clearly past that and in control of how he wants to be perceived, or how he wants to come across as an idol, be it on stage, in a Run BTS episode or a livestream. I think he's found some sort of balance and he got really good at it and the work he's done as this "tailor" is so good, that it looks effortless. The seams are practically invisible.

He's very good at his idol job and he talked about this in one of the weverse interviews. He takes it seriously. Being a chameleon is something that could be really helpful for him. It offers to opportunity to show parts of himself but in the way Jimin wants it, and also to be in control of keeping other, more private parts, away from public consumption. And we'll never know which are those. Always left wondering and always left full of questions after JM does something, just like his photo-folio. Truly the tailor of chaos.

Best Brother Series - Family Reunion

Warnings : None

Comment below to join any of my taglists, BTS, Stray Kids, TXT, Enhyphen, or all/multiple!!

"Let's go!" Jin roared, over the commotion happening to the twenty others. "Hurry up!"

"Two minutes!" Jungkooks voice hollered. "Coming!"

"Wait! I forgot my hairband!" Y/N screeched, racing upstairs.

"Give it back, Jeongin!" Hyunjin shouted.

"Yeonjun hyung took my shoes!" Hueningkai yelled.

"Everyone shut up!" Yoongi yelled. Everyone quietened down. Then there was a snicker from Jungkook, then Yeonjun, Soobin, and Y/N. Exasparatedly, he turned to them. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing."Y/N grinned. "Let's go."

They piled into the four cars, 5 each, driven by Jin, Yoongi, Hoseok and Jimin as Namjoon didn't have a license.

"Hobi Oppa, can I sit in front?" Y/N asked. "I feel sick at the back."

She and Taehyun switched places, and Hoseok gave her a bag, just in case. When they got out of the car, she had to lean against the house gate, feeling incredibly dizzy.

"Ready?" Jin asked. He'd waited for Y/N. She nodded and they went in the house.

"Hi, Y/N!" Her younger cousin, Hanseul, said. Y/N smiled and patted her head.

"Hi, Seulie. How're you?"

"I'm great!" The right year old exclaimed. She held up a green origami rabbit. " Lisio Unnie showed me how to fold a rabbit, and I did one for you!"

"It's beautiful." Y/N marveled. "Did you thank Jisio Unnie?"

Jisio was their cousin, a year older than Y/N. Hanseul nodded excitedly, dragging Y/N over to the gaggle of girl cousins. Y/N was very popular at family reunion girl groups.

"Look who's here!" Hanseul announced. Y/N was swallowed by the eight girls, and by the time dinner was ready, the group was chattering very loudly.

"Gosh, how loud can they get?" Jeongin asked Jooyeon, who shrugged.

"That's how they are, hyung." He said. "Gaon and Gunil hyung always say they can shapeshift."

"Jin Hyung can shout over all of them though." Taehyung said. "He always manages to get Y/N's attention.

"Y/N!" Jin shouted, proving Taehyung true. "LESS NOISE, PLEASE!"

"Alright." Y/N agreed. As if a miracle struck, the girls quietened down, the noise quickly departing.

"Thank you, Jin." Meiseo, theif aunt, smiled. "It's so hard to get them to be quiet."

"You're welcome." Jin grinned. "I do it all the time you know. I have twenty siblings."

"Why your parents chose to keep having children I don't know." Meisro'd husband, Jonghyun, sighed. "We told them to stop after Hoseok but they never listened."

"Believe me." Jin said. "Sometimes I wish it was only me and Y/N. She's the easiest to manage except at these gatherings."

"Well, a big family's a big family." Meiseo said. "Let's eat!"

Sweetheart

Focus on Jeongguk & female reader. Though how this relationship develops is as much as a surprise to me as it will be you.

Warnings; This story revolves around past abusive relationships and how the characters are healing after escaping their abusers. I don’t know if such abuse will be explicit yet or just vague recollections. But I can assure you this story is full of dark themes.

Please do not read if you think you will be triggered. You can message me to privately ask if it will potentially trigger you by stating your own triggers. I don’t want to spoil any plot, especially as I can’t guarantee something won’t come up in the future but if I know something specific triggers a reader, I may try to avoid it.

I hope you enjoy reading

Jeongguk didn’t understand what was happening.

Why he was being dragged away from his special room by people he didn’t know?

Who were they?

Where was hyungie?

Why would no-one answer his questions? It was rude not to answer!

Hyungie taught him that.

He just wanted to go back to his special room and wait for his hyungie as he did every day; like a good boy.

Your heart ached as you watched the bunny boy being forcefully moved from the maze of a house and to the back of the awaiting ambulance.

He didn’t seem to understand that the man he kept calling for wasn’t coming. That the “hyungie” he so desperately pleaded for had never been the man that he thought he was.

To love, to protect, to claim |💕|✖|🍑|

Pairing: Alpha!Jimin x F!Beta!Reader

Genre: a/b/o!au, wolf!au, friends to lovers, fluff, smut-ish, angst with a happy ending

Warnings: swearing, mentions of smut, slight insecurities

Word count: 5621

Summary: You've loved him for so long, you don't even remember when you stopped hoping for him to want you back. Maybe it's time for him to prove you wrong.

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

"You would make the perfect luna."

Looking up from where you're watching Jimin playfully tug at a loose threat attached to your shorts, you raise an eyebrow at him in amusement. As always, the alpha seems to be even more at ease in your own home than you are, his usually assertive gaze just the slightest bit drowsy from the nap he had taken earlier and body thoroughly relaxed.

You really don't know why he chooses to spend most of his free time at your place in particular when his room alone is bigger than your whole living space, but it's not like you mind including him in your daily routine, so someday you just came to the silent agreement that your door is always open for him to walk in and out whenever he pleases.

When the male continues to stare up at you with curious eyes, waiting for some kind of reaction, you shrug half-heartedly and tap his nose with your index finger to give yourself more time to think. He scrunches his face cutely at the action and your lips pull into a fond smile in return.

Admittedly, his words caught you off guard. How your initial conversation about the last pack meeting even managed to convert to him calling you luna material is beyond you and you're not sure if you're emotionally ready for whatever direction this is starting to turn into. One moment you were discussing the next hunting party and suddenly he's ranting to you about how his second in command is nagging him about finding a mate.

Having been at his side for more than half your life, it's obviously not the first time you talked about it, yet it manages to dampen your mood every time without fail. Still, you're doing your best to not react when he mentions other females in front of you, only casually throwing in your opinion on what you think would be best for the pack when he asks you to. You've already come to terms with the fact that your feelings for him are one-sided and that you aren't the one he's going to choose.

Well, at least that's what you're trying to tell yourself everytime the topic comes up.

"You think so?" is all you can bring yourself to mumble out, tone carefully neutral. Jimin hums easily in response, as if he doesn't even have to consider his answer.

"You're smart, strong and perfectly in sync with the pack's needs. You think I don't see how everyone comes to you for advise or when they're stressed out? Your presence soothes them. Aside from a capable leader, there's nothing more important to a pack's survival than a luna who has everyone's hearts and trust."

Biting the inside of your cheek, you give your own hum in reply and shuffle against the back of your couch to ignore the way your heart misses a beat or two at his praise.

The hand that comes up to touch your face out of nowhere startles you out of your thoughts and when you look back down, Jimin's eyes are already on you. His thumb softly wanders along your jawline, slightly tilting your head.

"You're also extremely beautiful," he adds with a breathy whisper, like he's in awe. As if he hasn't seen your face a million times before.

You can't help the snort of surprise that comes out at his compliment and when Jimin cranes his neck to get a better view of your expression from where his head is positioned on your lap, you inadvertently turn your attention away from him out of embarrassment.

Aside from not knowing how to react to all the praise he's showering you with, you also don't want him to notice the blush that most definitely colors your face, if your warming cheeks are anything to go by. You silently curse yourself for not being able to control the rapid beating of your heart, every time he looks at you like that. Like he couldn't take his eyes off you, even if he tried.

As if he knows you've already written off his words as empty flattery, he suddenly shifts his body until he's half on top of you, his hands flat against the couch on either side of your thighs, caging you in. With one cheek pressed against your shoulder as he accommodates to his new position, he gives you a pointed look.

"I'm serious."

The alpha in front of you lets out a good-natured huff at the playful roll of your eyes, but refuses to move even as you subtly push against his chest to get him to back off. Instead, he leans in further to brush his nose over your scent gland, making you shiver involuntarily. "None of the other wolves I've met so far ever came close to compete with you."

Jimin doesn't stop you when you reach out one arm to run your fingers through his hair in an attempt to distract yourself, not sure how to respond. It's already painful enough to remind yourself that he isn't interested in you romantically without him giving you false hope and the way he holds onto you like he doesn't have important duties to go back to sooner rather than later is definitely not helping either.

Thankfully, he doesn't press you for an answer and only sighs happily to let you know he enjoys your touch. Both of you sit in comfortable silence as you let him cuddle you closer, body relaxing against your smaller frame and face buried in the crook of your neck. Slightly pulling down the collar of your sweater to have better access to your warm skin, the older wolf inhales deeply, a pleased hum rumbling low in his chest and your breath hitches at the sound, no doubt catching his attention.

He's told you before that he likes your scent specifically, despite having to get so close to you to actually get a good whiff of it.

It's not that your scent is weaker than others' per se, but while alphas and omegas smell more alluring or prominent by default due to their natural roles within the pack hierarchy, yours is more neutral and less provocative, and therefore harder to fully catch from a distance.

The way Jimin exhales against your skin with a small grunt sounds almost frustrated now and you wonder if he's pouting into your neck, but when you start to lean back to check on him, he growls in warning and pushes your hips down to keep you from moving.

"Don't."

Shocked at his uncharacteristic display of possessiveness, your body immediately becomes pliant beneath him and you barely manage to suppress the whine that's threatening to spill from your lips as his grip on you tightens in response, your instincts telling you to submit to the stronger wolf pinning you down. It's pitiful, really, how eager you are to please him while you're not even sure what triggered his reaction in the first place.

Maybe his rut is coming up soon. Although it's unlikely, considering you can't sense any changes in his scent. Plus he's never asked you to help him out during his cycle before, always preferring one of the many unmated omegas living outside the main camp. And even though you can't deny that it hurts to see him choose another pack member over you time and time again while you're right there, it's not really surprising. Being the head alpha, he can have his pick out of many.

Compared to all the available females in your territory, you're nothing special. If you hadn't been raised side by side since your early childhood, he probably wouldn't even spare you a second glance. Or maybe your friendship is the reason he doesn't see you as a potential partner in the first place. Maybe he simply can't bring himself to pursue you because he's known you for too long.

But you wish he would.

Even if just once, you wish he would acknowledge your desperate pining, no matter how skilled you are at pretending to be unaffected by his presence. On some days, the thought of him with someone else physically hurts to the point where you can't even bring yourself to meet his eyes out of shame.

And now that he finally has you underneath him, canines carefully prodding at your collarbone while you absentmindedly play with his soft locks between your fingers, you can't bring yourself to ask what's gotten into him. Not when he's pushing up the hem of your sweater to trace the bare skin of your waist with both hands, your name falling from his lips in a low murmur.

With a shuddering breath you close your eyes and let your head fall back to expose your neck further, hesitant and confused about his behavior, but more than willing to let him do whatever he wants with you.

Strangely enough, something about your act of submission seems to snap him out of whatever daze he was in. Slowly, he detaches his mouth from you and nuzzles his forehead against your shoulder as if attempting to soothe you. You're about to ask him what's wrong, when he suddenly lets out a defeated sigh, his voice still low, yet a lot softer than earlier.

"It sucks that you're a beta."

Instantly, your eyes snap wide open. There's something about the implication behind his words that doesn't sit right with you and your stomach starts to churn unpleasantly as you wait for him to say something else. He can't possibly mean what your anxiety is pushing you to read into it. Not him, not Jimin, not your alpha.

Your hand has long since stopped stroking Jimin's hair and you let it fall back to your side to dig it into the cushions, nearly ripping the material with how tight you hold onto it.

Grumbling at the loss of contact, he nudges your chin with his nose affectionately before laying back down to mold himself against you, basking in your warmth.

"Things would be so much easier if you had presented as an omega." The words are slightly muffled from the way he hides his face in your sweater and the whine in his voice would be cute, if you could acknowledge it over the deafening sound of your heart shattering into a million pieces as the realization hits you like a punch to the face.

If you had presented as an omega.

"Maybe you would have wanted me then," he adds so quietly you don't even register what he said over the blood rushing in your ears, before he moves again to look up at you through unreadable eyes, chin resting on your stomach. "I would have asked for your permission to claim you right after your first official shift, you probably would have said yes and we'd be raising a whole litter of pups already. Gosh, just thinking about it... they'd be so pretty."

You watch apathetically as he carefully shifts to one side until he's back in a similar position as before, laying on top of you with his head nuzzled against your inner thigh.

"Instead, you're stuck with your position as delta until you find someone you're compatible with and I'll have to start looking for a suitable mate in other territories. It's such a waste."

Someone you're compatible with. A suitable mate. Not you. An omega. Not a waste like you.

He reaches out to take your free hand in his like it's second nature to him, and maybe it is. He has held your hand countless times in the past, his touch always managing to put you at ease, making you feel valued, protected, loved.

But when he starts to absentmindedly play with your fingers, completely unaware of the sorrow slowly beginning to rip you apart from the inside, all you want to do is curl away from him like he burned you. You feel numb and hollow and sick all at once. Your skin grows ice cold as you think back to all the times you let yourself think that maybe, just maybe, Jimin would someday love you back. Stupid. You're fucking stupid.

The drastic shift in your emotions must have finally caught up with your scent, because Jimin suddenly stills against you, head shooting up in alarm to look at you with wide eyes. Using the opportunity to slowly pull away from him while he searches your face for an explanation, you fight the useless urge to run and hide, body instead pressing into the back of the couch behind you to make yourself as small as possible.

You can see it in his gaze the exact moment he realizes what's going on. It's a strange mixture of shock, regret and something else that you can't quite place. Softly shaking your head as he opens his mouth to say something, you mindlessly look around the room as if it would help you find the best way to escape from this whole situation. You don't want to hear what he has to say. You don't want him to comfort you and say that he's sorry for not rejecting you more politely. You just want to be left alone.

"Hey... no, I... that's not what I meant. You don't-"

Your brain shuts down the second the alpha tries to touch you. Body acting solely on instinct, you slap his hands away and jump to your feet with a warning growl that sounds more hurt than threatening, even to your own ears. Teeth bared, you glare at him through glowing eyes.

"Why are you still here, then? Go and secure our pack's future, instead of wasting your time with someone like me."

The venom coloring your voice sounds in total contrast to the distress heavily souring your scent to the point it's almost unrecognizable. Jimin has never seen you so upset before.

Visibly doing his best to ignore the blatant disrespect of your actions in favor of letting you express your anger, the alpha simply shakes his head at your words, his own voice calm but firm when he eventually decides on what to say.

"That's not fair. Y/N, what's wrong? Why are you so on edge all of a sudden? You know I wasn't trying to belittle you."

He's lying. He didn't have any reason to say it if he didn't mean it.

With an agitated huff, you take a provocative step forward instead of giving him an answer, stance bordering on challenging. You wouldn't actually attack him, not even if you had just the slightest chance of winning. But with your back facing a wall and the other wolf in front of you, you suddenly feel like a trapped animal backed into a corner.

Unease and exasperation burn the inside of your throat like acid when you realize there's no way Jimin will let you out of his sight anytime soon. And you'd rather let him kill you than submit to him right now.

Ignoring the predatory growl you receive in return to your defiance, you narrow your eyes at him.

"How else am I supposed to take it when you tell me it 'sucks I'm a beta', right after explaining how I would be your first choice, if I hadn't been born with the wrong subgender? Because to me, it sounded like an abstract of all the various reasons as to why I'm worth less than some random omega bitch you fuck in your free time."

There's a certain edge to your voice as you repeat his hurtful words. It's raw and painfully vulnerable, causing the man in front of you to restlessly shift his weight from one leg to the other, his instincts probably telling him to comfort his distressed pack member, while your body language is warning him to keep his distance.

"It might come as a shock to you, but I'm actually comfortable in my skin. Presenting as a beta was never something I felt ashamed of and I never wanted to change into something else."

Except for you. I would do anything for you.

It's only now that you register the fact that you're shaking, and you have to forcefully suppress the tremor in your voice to keep talking through gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry an ordinary beta like me isn't good enough to serve as breeding tool for your superior alpha genes, but you didn't have to spell it out like that. If you wanted to hurt me, you could've just mauled me instead of spitting on my pride."

Your accusation has Jimin visibly flinching back. He breathes out harshly and takes a few cautious steps towards you while you watch him intently, eyes flashing gold when he gets too close.

"No. No, you got it completely wrong! I just thought you... shit, shit, okay. I need you to calm down, y/n. Be good for me and come here, yeah?"

The snarl that rips from your throat as Jimin reaches out to pull you into his arms causes him to freeze mid-movement, surprise mixing with the worry in his dark eyes. Through your clouded mind, you silently acknowledge that you still have all your limbs, the amount of self-control the alpha displays being more than impressive.

You know you shouldn't test his patience like this, but he's far too close now, his familiar scent confusing your emotions more than you can handle in your state and aggression is the only way you can think of to try and keep him at a safe distance.

"As you so accurately pointed out, I'm not one of your precious omegas. I don't need you to console me with your fucking pheromones, Jimin."

This time, the alpha does react. Straightening to his full height, he bares his canines and slowly takes the last few steps until he's right in front of you.

"Y/N," he rasps right against your ear, a violent shudder wracking through your body at the threat in his tone. Immediately, you have to fight the urge to bow your head, instead forcing yourself to stand your ground. He doesn't touch you, but the menacing growl you receive the second you try to move away is enough to freeze you in place.

"I know you're upset with me, but I am still your alpha. Fucking act like it."

With every single one of your senses on high alert because of the potential danger he's posing to you, your muscles are so tense you feel like you're going to snap any moment. Rationally, you know Jimin would never harm you. At least, not on purpose. But you aren't the only one almost solely running on instinct now and you can't be sure what it would take to set the alpha off.

Forcing your body to slightly relax, you let out a dejected whimper that gets stuck in the back of your throat, making it harder to breathe. You wish he would physically hurt you instead of using his status to compel you into submitting. Having to fight your wolf at the same time as being in Jimin's overwhelming presence is pure torture.

"I think you made it quite clear that you would never consider me as anything more than good company. You didn't come here as my alpha, you came here as my friend. And right now you're the insensitive asshole that told me he'd prefer literally anyone else over me as long as they're born with the only thing I can't change about myself."

Your voice audibly cracks at the end and you squeeze your eyes shut in humiliation. There's no way you'll ever be able to go back to how things were before your argument.

Mentally, you're already planning to move in with one of your cousins living at the furthest corner of your pack's territory. Or better, join another pack entirely. That way, you won't have to live with his pitiful stares while you force yourself to act like he didn't make you feel like a worthless piece of shit.

Another whimper tumbles over your lips, hands at your sides tightly clenching around nothing in the need to touch him. To pull him closer or push him away, you're not quite sure yourself.

"I would have never dared to ask you to choose me, even if you didn't point out how ridiculous it is for me to even wish for it. If you wanted me to take a hint, you could have simply picked your mate and I would have silently stayed by your side as your delta. You didn't have to insult me."

For a few seconds, it's deadly silent, the only sounds in the room coming from your uneven breathing. Then you feel him move to gently grab your chin, warm fingers lifting your head up until you have to look at him.

"You wanted me to choose you? You want to be my mate?"

You can't stop your eyebrows from furrowing in confusion at the strange tone of his voice, sounding almost relieved and in pain at the same time. Studying his unreadable expression with a slight tilt of your head, you hesitantly wrap your fingers around his arm holding you in place. You're significantly calmer now, heart still pounding against your ribcage but the anger that was clouding your mind a few moments ago slowly dissipating. You're more concerned for your alpha now than anything.

"I... That's not the point. I always knew you don't see me as a potential partner. Just... please go. I can't keep pretending that it doesn't hurt. Not after you told me how you actually feel about me."

The words are barely out of your mouth before Jimin softly hushes you. Cradling your face in both his hands, he leans down until your foreheads touch in what you can sense is an attempt to comfort.

"Oh baby, no," he breathes out, voice a low timber, warm and soothing and you feel yourself automatically relax in his hold. "I need you to listen to me, because I couldn't have fucked this up more even if I tried."

He ignores the confused noise you make in response, simply pressing a lingering kiss to your forehead before pulling you flush against his chest, arms coming around you to keep you close.

"It's not that I don't want you. Fuck, trust me, I want to make you mine so bad it hurts. I don't care if you're a beta or an omega, because you're fucking perfect for me."

That's all it takes for your eyes to well up with unshed tears and you press your face into his chest to muffle a garbled cry, your hands holding onto the material of his shirt for dear life. With everything that's happened before, you're not sure if you believe him. It just doesn't make sense. If he wants you, why would he-

"I thought you didn't want me."

What?

"What?"

Body tensing in shock, you put your hands against his firm chest and push back until you can look at him. You search his face for any sign of dishonesty, afraid that maybe he's just trying to placate you out of feeling guilty, but his eyes don't waver when they meet your own. With a humorless chuckle, Jimin shrugs his shoulders in reaction to your quizzical expression.

"There's rarely any changes in your scent when I'm around, no matter how hard I try to get a reaction out of you. After a while I assumed you simply don't see me as a potential mate. That maybe you're more interested in omegas."

Dumbfounded upon hearing him say that, you can only stare at him in response, face blank and head slightly shaking from side to side in disbelief. There's no fucking way.

Not sure how to take your impassive reaction to his confession, Jimin decides to continue to explain, one hand all the while gently stroking up and down your back.

"You never really give any sign of approval to my courtship and I was afraid if I outright told you how I feel, you would either reject me or accept out of obligation to your pack alpha, not because you feel the same. I wanted you to know that the final decision will always fall to you."

Now that gets your attention.

Blinking up at him with wide, incredulous eyes, you lick your dry lips before you finally bring yourself to answer, voice suddenly turning meek and almost bashful.

"You were courting me?"

In any other situation, the look Jimin gives you in return to your question would make you laugh out loud. However, right now you feel your cheeks heating up in embarrassment at the mixture of bewilderment and disapproval adorning his usually soft features.

"Don't tell me you didn't realize," the alpha rasps, sounding just the tiniest bit exasperated and you instantly want the ground to open up and swallow you whole.

"Your favorite food I make for you every week even though I hate cooking? The amount of time I spend solely around you every time I get the chance? The way I touch you..."

His voice suddenly drops and you watch in awe as he softly cradles your face with one hand, the other reaching for your own to carefully guide it towards his chest, holding it there. "...and the way I allow you to touch me."

You only become aware that you were subconsciously holding your breath when you feel yourself exhale shakily, gaze focused on where your palm is splayed across Jimin's familiar chest. Somewhere in the back of your mind, you register that his heart is pounding at least as fast as your own, the fact strangely soothing to you.

"I was scared I was reading more into it than it actually was. I thought maybe you were just being nice because we've been friends for so long," you admit quietly, causing Jimin to make a sound between a huff and a chuckle.

"Nice?" he asks, clicking his tongue.

"Nice is me holding the door for a pack member who walks behind me. Nice is me leaving the best parts of a kill to everyone else after a long hunt, because I want them to know I'm proud of their hard work."

He suddenly grips your jaw just the slightest bit tighter and props your head back up to fix you with a hard stare, causing your own eyes to widen, pupils dilating in surprise and something akin to excitement.

"Nice is me holding back from ripping another alpha's head off when I see one of them making a move on you."

Leaning forward, Jimin nudges your cheek with his nose before replacing it with his lips, carefully trailing them over your soft skin. When your breath hitches in response, he lets out a content sigh against your ear.

"I don't touch anyone else like I touch you," the alpha whispers, his thumb grazing your bottom lip while his other hand possessively squeezes your naked thigh as if to get his point across. You jump a bit in surprise at the unexpected action, your gasp cut short by his fingers gently wrapping around your throat.

"I don't look at anyone else like I look at you," he practically growls, voice so gravelly it almost doesn't sound like him anymore. Swallowing harshly against his grip, you can't stop a pleasant shiver from running down your spine when you sense his scent spiking, subtly enticing you to give into him.

"I don't imagine anyone else with me when I lie awake at night, trying to find relief I know only you can bring me."

The whine that leaves your lips at his words sounds needy and weak and just the tiniest bit pathetic. Jimin doesn't seem to mind though, as he starts to teasingly nip at the column of your neck, hands now grabbing your waist to pull you flush against him, making sure you won't slip away.

You bare your throat in submission without hesitation, body arching into his in a silent plea and the primal snarl he lets out against your skin in response has your knees threatening to give out with how light-headed it makes you feel.

Instinctively, your hands roam his stomach up towards his firm chest in your need to feel more of him, while he takes his time alternating between small kisses and loving bites along your jaw and collarbone. You feel his muscles flex where you trail your fingertips across the thin material of his shirt, followed by a pleased hum from the alpha when you finally wrap your arms around his shoulders to bring him even closer.

His familiar scent is almost overwhelming as you press your nose against the warm skin under his jaw, flooding all your senses until the only thing you're aware of is him.

It's calming and exciting at the same time, putting you at ease while riling you up to the point where you can't decide if you want to curl into him for cuddles or beg him to wreck you completely. He feels safe. He feels like home. And suddenly you can't remember why you were ever worried about admitting your feelings to him.

You almost keen in delight when you feel Jimin's cheek rub against yours affectionately before he moves further down to your neck to scent you properly, your stomach doing somersaults at the thought of him marking you as his own for everyone to notice.

Body thrumming in exhilaration, you have to remind yourself to breathe because of your heart beating so fast you can feel it in your throat. Scenting between the members of a pack isn't anything special. It's instinctual, part of survival and as your leader, Jimin has obviously scented you many times before.

But never like this. Never with the intent of having his scent cling to you for days and weeks and years to come.

Eventually, the alpha lets up from his task to look at you with a content smile. His soft hair tickles your skin as he slowly leans towards you, his hands gently cupping your face to hold you in place and you eagerly push against him in silent confirmation but he only hovers, plush lips brushing yours almost teasingly in a feather-light touch.

You make an impatient sound in the back of your throat, causing him to chuckle fondly and when you move away to give him a small pout, he nuzzles his nose against yours in an attempt to appease you. Though there's a certain glint in his darkening gaze, that tells you he isn't nearly as much in control of himself as he tries to make you believe.

The realization has you subconsciously rubbing your thighs together in anticipation and Jimin's eyes flash blood red for the briefest of moments when the smell of your arousal hits his senses. With his thumbs absentmindedly tracing your jawline, he mumbles against your parted lips.

"Tell me you want me. I need to know you accept me as your mate before I do something you might regret later."

Sighing happily, you run your fingers through his silky locks and gently tug as if to make sure you have his full attention despite his wide, vulnerable eyes never leaving yours for even a moment.

The storm of emotions in his curious gaze has your breath caught in your throat and it's only now that you realize Jimin is just as terrified of being rejected as you were before his confession. You give him a bright smile and softly scrape your nails against the back of his neck as a silent way to comfort him, wanting to soothe every last one of his insecurities like he did for you.

"I've been in love with you for so long I can't even remember when I stopped hoping for you to want me back. I'm yours for as long as you'll have me. Yours to love, yours to protect, yours to claim as your own. Please don't make me wait any longer, alpha."

And just like that, he's all over you.

Lifting you up by your thighs like you weigh nothing, he pins you against the wall behind you, his lips immediately chasing yours in a desperate kiss that has you gasping into his mouth. In turn, you wrap yourself around him like he's your lifeline, your hands tightly gripping his hair.

He lets out a guttural growl somewhere deep in his chest in response to your touch, the sound causing your whole body to flush with need. Pulse quickening to an unhealthy pace, you reflexively squeeze your legs around his hips, feeling his hardening length press right against your throbbing core.

You break away from his lips to throw your head back in pleasure and keen at the sensation, prompting Jimin to sink his teeth into the juncture of your exposed neck with a shuddering groan.

Instinctively arching into the pain, your mind goes blank and you start begging, soft pleas and wanton moans tumbling from your lips along with cries of his name. Blood running hot under his attention, you gasp and you whimper and you beg him for more until the alpha hushes you with a loving kiss, carrying you in his arms while whispering sweet nothings against your heated skin.

And when he finally presses you down into the mattress of your bed, crimson eyes flashing with both desire and the same unconditional love you feel deep inside your chest, there's no doubt in your mind that you are right where you are supposed to be.

Flummox

–📚Pairing : [Cat Shifter! Jimin x Animal Whisperer! Reader (Ft. Taegi)]

–📚Genre : [witch au, supernatural, fantasy, romance, fluff, fate bond, soulmate(ish)]

–📚Summary : [There’s a strange shop in your neighbourhood and as a freeloader art major student, you take a liking to the local warlock’s cat that always sleeps in front of the window that directly looks at the street. As an ordinary human, you make sure to stay clear of their way until some weird things keep happening to you. (Welcome to Flummox, how can I help you?)]

His fur looks regal bathing under the afternoon sun, each filament reflecting the orange hue of the sunset. It would make a perfect painting in your opinion and your fingers are itching to grab your sketchbook and favourite coal pencil but you decide against the idea.

You’re content with only capturing it with your eyes, there’s no need to make every moment last.

However, it’s hard to look away from the petite creature enjoying his little nap under the last rays of sunshine. The animal looks ethereal and there’s no skilled painter or photographer that could give the feelings tied to the visuals back at full potential.

You lift your mug to take a sip of your coffee still mesmerized by him and it barely registers that the beverage burns your tongue not long after your lower lip touches the brim of the cup and let the liquid wash away when his back suddenly arches paws stretched out, claws extended almost reminding you of a yawn, very human-like.

Looking for the perfect position to lay on the windowsill basking under the warmth of the sun hitting the reflective surface of the shop’s window, your eyes wander upwards to read the familiar letters, semicircularly arranged the big white letters spell out ’Flummox’.

The shop is across the street, not fifteen feet away from your doorstep, your eyes always skim over the tiny business that’s in between a jewel and barbershop while you go to school but never dare to enter, you’re ok with just looking.

”Are you stalking that cat again?” A breath brushes across your right cheek, the words coming out of your friend’s mouth teasingly as she corners you. She saw you lost in your thoughts so she decided it’s a great opportunity to stalk you like she does to her prey and feed off your fright. Almost throwing your mug away, you steel your grip at the last minute only spilling a fraction of your drink as your left hand lands over your rapidly beating heart. She gets you every time, one might think that after all these years of knowing her, you would turn immune to her cruel teasing.

”Can you stop doing that? Do you wish my death?” Shaking your head dismissingly, you place your mug down momentarily forgetting about your drink as you raise an eyebrow at her daring outfit.

”What the heck are you wearing?” Your brows are furrowed soon after you give her a once over, her tiny shorts are nonexistent under the long tee she’s wearing, looking like it’s the only garment on her body.

”Silly, did you forget our plans for tonight?” She pokes you with one of her perfectly manicured nails. Yeji inspects your overworn knitted sweater with a pair of leggings on and gives you a disapproving look before she drags your closet’s door open to see your options. Of course, you didn’t forget. You remember your promise to her well, dreading the night that you agreed in the first place.

Having a witch as a best friend is enough ’adventure’ and ’excitement’ for a lifetime in your book but unfortunately, Yeji doesn’t share your sentiments. She’s been biting your ears off for the past month or so, nagging you to come with her to that party where all supernatural beings gather once every two months.

Naturally born humans are normally not welcomed in those knit tight communities but Yeji keeps telling you that she won’t let anything happen to you, it’s not like they can tell from a sniff that you’re human. You know that unless you don’t do something stupid to reveal your identity you’re safe to go but you can’t shake off your worries that quickly. After all, there’s a reason why human’s should never meddle with supernatural creatures and that’s why you vowed to never approach the shop from across the street no matter how drawn you feel to it like it’s pulling you in.

”I still think that this is a bad idea.” You voice your concerns while Yeji throws clothes at you, pretending like you didn’t say anything as she digs around to find the perfect outfit for you to wear to the gathering.

You feel it in your rigid bones that you shouldn’t be here as soon as you cross the threshold of the Emeraldstone mansion, there’s a staircase that curls up to the sky and Yeji conquers step after step with a visibly excited bounce in her movements while you feel paralyzed, rooted to the spot where you stand on the ’welcome’ rag.

”Hurry up!” Your friend shouts a few steps ahead, turning to see if you’re still there after you failed to follow her up the stairs. Gulping down the saliva that gathered in your mouth you leech onto the handrail making your feet catch up to her.

The walls are full of portraits of strangers, there’s some off animals, oil paintings with a heavy layer of dust on them lining the way up endlessly as it seems like there’s no end to the faces after the long journey to the top.

You grasp Yeji’s hand when you finally reach the top, opening a door to the attic your eyes widen in wonderment. Her acrylic nails dig into the flesh of your palm when she squeals, excited to meet other witches while you try to make yourself seem invisible behind her but their eyes land on you occasionally.

You protest when she gets swept away from you by the crowd, leaving you alone in a place you doesn’t belong to. There’s a man that has been eyeing you for twenty minutes now and sees the opportunity as he catches you alone.

You have to think quick, turning on your heels you decide to go in the opposite direction he tries to approach you and try to make him lose sight of you as you press between bodies with colourful liquids inside their flutes. Some of it gets on your clothes when you pass a woman holding the cup loosely enough for you to tip it over accidentally.

”Easy there.” A man chuckles, facing you after you bumped into his back while you still try to actively avoid that pair of eyes that eerily keeps following you during your stay here. Remembering your manners you bow slightly in apology but the man dismisses you, smiling when you make eye contact.

”Oh. I know you, you live across the street, aren’t you?” His eyes widen a bit before he schools his features to show you the same polite smile as before. You recognise him as well, you saw him a dozen times entering and exiting the shop you intently watch from your window, outlooking the busy streets on a daily basis.

The man managed to catch you off guard, you're left speechless as you’re not entirely sure what is there for you to say. Lying to him would be futile, he already recognised you. Realising something the man suddenly sticks out his right hand for a handshake.

”Right, where are my manners. I don’t think I have introduced myself before. I’m Taehyung I live across the street from you.” His boxy smile is nice to look at, looks genuine which makes you less wary of him at least.

”I’m Y/N, nice to meet you.” You offer your greetings and politely shake his hand but your eyes are looking for your friend’s familiar figure in the crowd looking over his wide shoulders and it doesn’t slip his attention.

”Looking for someone?” Taehyung asks promptly, even though he already knows the answer to the question he’s still polite about it. He doesn’t look frightening quite the opposite he looks open and friendly, gives you the same vibes as when you saw him around the grocery store or near his shop. He always has that same calming aura around him almost like he beckons you to approach him with trust but you never did have the courage to say hello.

Not like you had any reason to talk to him. Your weird fascination with his shop is just a silly pastime of yours when you’re bored. You tell yourself all the time not to think too deep about it or your head will hurt.

”Yes, I’m here with a friend but I think I should head home, it’s getting late.” You feel uncomfortable surrounded by the supernatural and without your friend by your side you feel vulnerable, maybe it’s time for you to head home.

In your defence, you kept your promise because you showed up despite your gut feeling telling you it’s not a good idea. Yeji can’t be mad at you for leaving early, above all, she should be saying sorry for disappearing on you like that when she promised she’ll stay by your side the whole night.

”We’re heading in the same direction. Do you mind if I join you? I only have to fetch my familiar and we’re good to go.” Taehyung immediately starts to look around probably trying to catch sight of his said companion.

While he’s looking around you bite your lip anxiously. This is not what you meant but can you say no? He might be a stranger but he has a point, he does live across the street from you. It’s not a long walk either but you know better than anyone else in your neighbourhood what kind of creatures are lurking in the shadows so a company might be a safe option.

”There you are! Let me introduce you to my new friend here. Y/N, meet Jimin, he’s the familiar I was talking about.” Taehyung pulls a male out from the mass of people, he has pointy ears and a long tail swaying behind his back, curved so the end doesn’t reach the floor but overlooking his evident feline features he looks like any other man around.

You bow politely too late to reject his offer now you take his outstretched hand just like you did with Taehyung’s when you met. The feline is a tad bit shorter than Taehyung and smaller in built, his hand is warm when it encloses around yours for brief seconds. Jimin’s eyes bore into yours and those shimmering orbs give you a sense of familiarity. You blush furiously when you realise he’s the cat that you watch every day sitting on the shop’s windowsill absorbing the sunlight.

”I haven’t heard of a witch in town with your name. Are you new?” Jimin tilts his head to the side in question, his right ear flicks with the motion.

Your palm sweats under the pressure of their gazes, you survived this party without questions so far about yourself but you seem to be out of luck for the first time tonight. You’re so close to escaping from this gathering, why it has to be now that you get questioned? You don’t want to lie but is there any other way to get around the topic?

”Y/N!” The call of your name saves you in the last moment, you really considered telling them the truth but there’s no guarantee that they would have kept your secret around so many witches. Yeji grabs your shoulders, her torso hunched forward as she looks out of breath, she was probably looking for you for a while. ”Finally found you, you sneaky little .. witch.” She adds the last part when she sees the two figure next to you, she greets them before she excuses the both of you and drags you to a corner.

”Are you crazy? Why were you talking to them? You know they are the ones living across the street from you, right?” She whisper-yells into your ears, the volume of other conversations are enough to drown out yours.

”It was a total coincidence. I bumped into Taehyung’s back when I was walking around. I was looking for you.”

Yeji nods grabbing your hand again so you two can leave the mansion, realising that it’s not an ideal place for that type of conversation with so many ears around. You look ahead concentrating on not running into anyone on your way to the stairs, you’re not keen on making the same mistake again. It feels like someone follows you with their eyes but you don’t dare look around and it soon fades.

Call it paranoia but you keep your blinds closed after that night. You refrain from watching Jimin from your window afraid that once you look he’ll already have his eyes on you. It seemed like he saw right through you that night somehow able to tell with a single glance that you don’t belong there.

To pass time you doddle in your sketchbook, the old habit of procrastinating any real work in favour to draw is still present. Even if nowadays you spent your evenings watching the cat sleeping more than doodling.

It starts to get on your nerves how hard is it for you to push him out of your daily thoughts. After that encounter with him at the gathering, he seems to be the only thing on your mind and it doesn’t help that you tried to not leave for a while in fear of running into Taehyung and it’s a high possibility considering that you live near the same neighbourhood. Avoiding them won’t last you long, someday you have to go to the convenience store to get food and you definitely have to leave the house to get to school.

You can’t hide forever, it’s a fact that you’re hesitant to admit, but it doesn’t make it any less true so you think you might just get over with shopping. Getting your house keys and bag you toss your wallet inside before locking the door behind you.

You feel the urge to look around before you take a step further away from the comfort of your apartment but you shake your head, determined to act like last night didn’t happen. It looks like God heard your prayers because you haven’t come across Taehyung or Jimin at all on the way to the store and back.

There’s only a stray cat near the foot of your building but that’s it as at this time of the day there are not many passerby's.

”I’m so hungry. Where is that lanky Taehyung when I need him? I’m going to melt onto the pavement if that airhead warlock doesn’t show up soon.”

You stop in your tracks when you hear an unfamiliar voice speak, it almost feels like he’s talking right next to your ears so you look around but there’s no one on this part of the sidewalk only that black cat that found shelter under the building’s shadow that stretches forward a few inches.

Shaking your head again you tighten your hold on the shopping bags you’re carrying and try to type in your code while it weighs your arms down. Right, you’re just being paranoid again. There’s no way someone actually spoke just now.

”It smells nice. It’s been a while since I had a home-cooked meal and it smells like the ingredients for Japchae.”

”I don’t understand why they had to move into town, that little cottage was far better than this tiny shop.”

You miss a number repeatedly and you’re getting frustrated with the weird noises that you keep hearing and you have no idea where it’s coming from. A groan of frustration leaves you after another failed attempt.

”Can you please stop speaking for a second whoever you are because I can’t remember my code from the constant rambling around.” It’s ridiculous how you speak to the air literally when there’s no one around who could make those noises. But at least you have to try or you’ll never get inside the building and you’re getting hungry.

It works as your frustrated voice forces the shapeshifter into silence. Yoongi narrows his sharp yellow eyes on you, he initially thought that you’re another human as this town reeks of them but it doesn’t make sense. He’s so hung up on the discovery that you heard his inner monologue that he’s not cutting you a sarcastic remark right off the bat because you told him to shut up and no one can tell the great familiar Min Yoongi to shut up.

Curiosity gets the best of him so he manoeuvres his body to fit inside before the door could close on his nose and follows you into the elevator. He can’t see what floor that you choose as he keeps his body out of your range of vision. Fortunately, you’re too preoccupied with the heavy bags that you don’t look around at all.

You drop the shopping bags by the door of your apartment so you could fish out your keys from inside your handbag. Yoongi could easily sneak into your house after you swing the door open as you need a few moments to gather your stuff.

It’s a nice place, he wonders how a young woman like yourself could afford something like this. Not a huge fan of beating around the bush Yoongi deems it’s the perfect time to turn into his human form.

You drop a carton of milk when a grown man appears in your kitchen if you had no previous knowledge about shapeshifters you’d probably scream or faint or both in that particular order but you can only just stare at him.

”What are you doing in my house!?” You find your voice after the uncomfortable silence seemed to stretch into forever. Impulsively grabbing a frying pan from the rack of clean dishes that’s next to the sink you point at the shifter with your newfound weapon.

The man with the black fluffy ears mocks you with his arms crossed in front of him, not feeling threatened at all.

”Oh, so scary a frying pan. I’m shaking in my boots” He rolls his eyes rudely but what you pick up on is the sound of his voice rather than his manners. You heard this voice before and not even long ago.

”What the hell, I heard this voice before. You were complaining when I was trying to get my code right!” Your eyes widen comically and the man before you almost laughs but decides against it getting lost in his thoughts.

Yoongi got his answer now, you really did hear him before it was not just a figment of his imagination. The next question is how is that even possible. You don’t look like a witch at all as he inspects you in detail but it doesn’t matter as witches normally are not able to hear them when they are in their true form. It’s a rare gift to have.

How can a mere human possess something so rare that not even witches can inherit by blood? You take a step back when he takes one in your direction, a dangerous glint appears behind his orbs as he’s walking closer and closer while you act like a cornered animal and it continues until there’s no more space for you to back into. The shifter grabs your face and forcefully turns it in each direction like he’s studying you.

”What’s your name human?” He waits for you to reply but he realises how he grips your face making it hard for you to speak so he lets you go. Crossing his arms again leisurely but it doesn’t look any less threatening.

”I’m not going to tell someone my name who broke into my apartment. I suggest you leave before I call the police!” You try to regain as much space as possible between your bodies so he can’t grab you like that again.

”I wouldn’t recommend that. By the time they arrive, I’ll be back in my cat form and I heard that false calls are quite expensive to pay.” Seeing how uncomfortable you look he opts for changing his demeanour, he’s not going to get you to talk if he keeps getting hostile towards you.

Yoongi starts thinking about how to get you to talk to him, listing the facts that he discovered about you. Considering how you’re not freaking out or asking why he has ears and a tail you know about witches and shapeshifters.

That’s good, at least he doesn’t have to deal with a non-believer but it’s still not making sense how you can hear him.

”Look, I have a few questions. After you answer them honestly I promise I’ll leave.” Yoongi offers and knowing as there’s nothing else you can do you nod.

You busy yourself with making some tea, making two cups before you sit down around the table.

You have a guess or two about what he’s going to ask but you’re afraid you’ll be no real help in solving the mystery. You have absolutely no idea why you were able to hear him. It’s been a while since something like this happened to you.

It started when you first came to this town. Originally your family moved here because your father got a job at the local factory but later on this little town grew on you and even when your parents decided to move back where you were born you convinced them to let you stay here as you were old enough to live alone.

You met Yeji two years ago when both of you choose the same class and became seatmates over the course of the semester, it was an optional one and it was, funnily enough, about ’mythical creatures in town folklore’.

Yoongi asks about your family history, making you list every relative that you can think of from the top of your head but none of those names rings any bell to him and soon the two of you are out of ideas. The tea is long forgotten, sitting on the dining table half full with the cold liquid barely touched by the time Yoongi decides to leave your house, he’s already late from his meeting with Taehyung and Jimin.

You call out to him before he can slip through the door’s gap already in his cat form to avoid eyes landing on him that would be inevitable in his human form.

”Can this be a secret between us?” Your pleading eyes catch his attention as Yoongi’s tail sways side to side in the air, his eyes are curious but decide against confronting you and complies instead with a following nod.

”Alright human, I won’t tell your secret but keep it in mind that you can’t hide from them for long.” The mischievous glint in his yellow orbs observes your instant reaction, his perception is correct as you looked like you’re avoiding the warlock and his familiar, the way you shied away from the topic was enough evidence.

The shifter might not know why you’re avoiding the duo but if he had to guess he thinks it has to do with your secret and the way you’re human with a special gift.

You’re lucky enough to have a week of peace before you had to face either Taehyung or Jimin, getting ready to fell headfirst into a world you do not rightfully belong to. Or do you? The fact that you’re able to communicate with Yoongi while he’s in his true form says otherwise. You’re not a witch but can you say you’re an ordinary human? Not really.

Your week drags on as you finish your assignments and pick up your sketchbook daily to draw figures that turn out to resemble the shifter of your fascination an awfully lot.

Yeji left for her four-week vacation with her parents so she’s not here to distract you from your thoughts, she told you they will visit some kind of magical hills heading straight to the mountains, talking about the energy that comes from the closeness to nature or something similar to that, you’re not quite sure.

”Humans are all this pathetic or is it just you?” You don’t have to look up from your sketch to know Yoongi’s here to grace you with his presence and sarcastic comments yet again that you become familiar with throughout this week.

Yeji might not be here but he’s adamant to fill her void while he’s at it. It was weird at first but now you warmed up to his way of speaking and now you can distinguish what he truly means by saying seemingly mean things.

You know he wants you to talk to Taehyung so you two might be able to get some lead regarding your gift but you’re too hesitant to do so. You didn’t lie per se because you didn’t get to answer his question. Although, this revelation doesn’t make things any less guilty for you even though it’s your main excuse there’s something more.

When you were watching Jimin from afar it was easy to repress these weird feeling you get every time you see him. It scares you how much of an effect he has on you as he can root you to your spot with a single look in your direction.

You don’t even know him well enough to feel this way yet you can’t stop thinking about him, he draws you in like a moth to its destructive flame.

”It’s just me.” You answer at last sounding defeated as you come to accept your attraction to the shifter and Yoongi doesn’t like how you sound so done, it’s easy to tell that this ’gift’ stresses you out, after all, neither of you can tell why this is happening to you. You start to think maybe it’s your best interest to talk to Taehyung about it, it doesn’t seem like Yoongi will let this go for a while, he’s almost as stubborn as you are.

”I didn’t want to do this but you give me no choice.” Not knowing what he means, you stare at his cat form you haven’t realise he never shifted into his human form, it starts to become a norm for you to understand him either way.

A knock is heard coming from the direction of your front door and you immediately freeze up glaring at Yoongi when you realise what’s happening.

”Yoongi! I can’t believe you invited them here!” You pace around your room, letting the doorbell ring a few more times before you reluctantly drag yourself to answer the door. Yoongi stays in his cat form as he stares at you expectantly, sitting a foot away from the door waiting for you to let the guests in.

”The sooner you open the door the sooner you can get it over with and wallow in your self-pity later as long as you want.”

You know that without him telling you that. Taking a deep breath you brace yourself and open the door, you’re surprised to see Taehyung’s boxy smile greeting you even Jimin has a pleasant half-smile stretched on his face. There’s a container in Taehyung’s hands that’s filled with dried leaves. Their eyes immediately find Yoongi’s tiny form sitting at your foot with his tail curled around your ankles.

”See, I told you you’re overreacting.” His cat face is expressionless but you can hear it in his voice how he would smirk in his human form. Jimin raises an eyebrow at you, hearing Yoongi crystal clear since he’s a shifter himself so he’s having no difficulty understanding another supernatural being.

”Is that his famous homemade herbal tea in his hands? Hurry up Y/N, I want to have a cup.” Yoongi rubs his head on your ankles beckoning you to let them inside, he totally ignores Jimin and you can’t keep the smile off your face seeing how impatient he is as you take a step to the side so they can come in.

”Don’t be a brat Yoongi.” You gently push him away with your foot so you don’t accidentally step on his tail while you guide your guests into the kitchen to get the kettle filled with water and place it on the stove boiling for the tea.

”Do you really understand what he’s saying? All I hear is meow meow and even more meow. I wonder why he sounds like he’s shit-talking me or something.” Taehyung opens the container and the sweet smell of dried tea leaves hit your nose, he picks a few with care rolling them together to make small amounts, dropping five of them into the boiling water. Yoongi remains in his cat form stubbornly, laying on the kitchen counter near you while Jimin sits down next to Taehyung at the table his tail hitting the backrest of your chair lazily.

”Because I’m shit-talking you. Duh.” Yoongi states matter of factly that makes you and Jimin burst out laughing, you almost feel sorry for how clueless Taehyung looks as he didn’t manage to catch the joke.

”Don’t mind him, Taehyung. The tea smells delicious, did you make this?” You try to turn the conversation to a lighter topic and it works when you see the warlock’s eyes lit up with pride as he tells you about his tea plants.

”I’m bad at keeping the plants alive so I leave the gardening to mostly Jimin but I harvest them and dry them to make tea myself. Wait till you taste it, I’m really proud of how this turned out, I can give you some if you’d like later.” Nodding happily as the meeting goes smoothly so far, you expected more tension but you’re pleasantly surprised that you worried for nothing as Yoongi told you.

They don’t seem to care about your encounter with them at the gathering and it eases you to have a casual conversation with mostly Taehyung as Jimin talks to Yoongi but you try not to pry on their conversation as you’re invested in what Taehyung is teaching you about tea leaves.

”I’m working on a book right now about different tea mixes, I would love to show you my research if you happen to have time to come by the shop. My illustrations are shit but I try my best so ignore those, unfortunately, I’m not very artistic.” Taehyung shows you pictures of a few pages in his book he took with his phone, and to be honest he’s not lying about not being great at making doodles of the plants but his handwriting is really pretty that somewhat makes up for it.

”Y/N’s drawings are really good, she could do the sketches for your book.” Yoongi offers, finally opting for his human form as he talks to Taehyung directly. Your eyes widen a little looking over at Yoongi who oh so generously offers your help up like you’re not standing right next to him and hear everything.

”Oh, really? That would be great! You can come by any time I have the plants in my garden so you can come and sketch them.” Taehyung looks so excited so you don’t have it in yourself to say no to him when he looks so happy.

It’s a big leather book that Taehyung entrusts you with, you first ask where you should place the drawings and how big they should be on the page before you do anything else. It’s your first time at his shop a week later after his visit (and Yoongi’s intervention) and you’re in awe of how beautiful the interior design is of his place.

Jimin is already tending to the plants when you step out to the backyard, the high fence is giving them enough privacy that he doesn’t need to hide in his animal form as he traces the leaves with his fingers.

You watch him for a while he’s so absorbed in his work that he doesn’t realise you’re there until you almost drop the book in your hand, that’s when he looks up and catches your gaze that’s already on him.

Jimin greets you with a big grin, motioning for you with his soil-covered hand to come closer and you do without hesitation. He tells you all the names of the plants and asks you what did Taehyung told you to sketch so he can help you find them.

There’s a bench that you can use as your workplace while Jimin crouches down to the next tea plant arranging the soil around the roots so it can create a dip in the middle that would trap the water as he looks for the sprinkler that so happens to be right next to you. His fingers brush your leg when he reaches for the object under the bench, your leg jerks with the sudden contact that doesn’t go unnoticed by the shifter, his ears twitch at the top of his head, the wind blows through his locks as his scent travels easily in the air filling your senses with his unique scent that reminds you of wet soil and peppermint leaves.

His hand suddenly lands on your bare thigh as the summer dress rides up because of the wind to reach mid-thigh, Jimin’s still on his knees in front of you but no longer trying to reach for the sprinkler as he watches your reaction to his touch.

”You’re very talented.” He takes a peek at your work in progress as you’re halfway done with the second plant while he was silently working on them. You’re normally not that slow but occasionally you abandoned your sketch to stare at Jimin as he caressed the leaves and gathered soil with his bare hands.

Feeling bold with his hands still resting on your thigh you reach out to scratch behind his feline ears.

Earning soft purrs with each stroke around his sensitive ear, you run your fingers through his hair next. Jimin buries his face into the soft fabric covering your stomach as you keep petting him his hand slides higher until he can curl the ends of your dress around his fingers, the intimate touches you share with him seem to go on endlessly until you hear footsteps coming closer with each passing second making you both separate immediately, popping the bubble you two created.

”This day is so hot, I thought you two would like some cold tea.” Taehyung balances the tray between plants placing it down to rest on your lap as you thank him for the beverages. The warlock seems to be oblivious to the tension lingering in the air, picking up a cup himself he plops down next to you almost sitting down onto the edge of your dress if you didn’t move away last minute.

Jimin gulps his tea down in one go not bothering to sit down before he goes back to tending to the garden, leaving you and Taehyung at the bench. You show him your sketch asking if it’s close to what he wanted it to look like, his pleased hum makes you happy you drag your pencil to the unfinished one and draw a line for demonstrating purposes making it wrap around the edges of the paper as you curve the roots to look more artistic.

Taehyung likes the idea and gives you a thumbs up to show his appreciation, you didn’t realise that both of you were leaning in to see the page, faces hovering centimetres apart but Jimin can’t seem to focus on the plants when you’re sitting so close to Taehyung. He doesn’t like this feeling that crawls up his heavy limbs and constricts his throat – grabbing him from the inside – as jealousy seeps from every pore of his body.

Jimin focuses to pick the dirt from under his nails when Taehyung stands to wash the cups going inside to leave you to continue your work, your eyes look for Jimin’s immediately but he’s not looking back.

You’re gnawing at your lower lip, trying to make sense of what happened before Taehyung interrupted you two. Before this day, you were never really left alone with Jimin but you assumed he doesn’t feel the pull like you do. Maybe he does feel it, it only makes sense after he arched into your touches and rubbed his cheek against your stomach. The thought itself is enough to make you blush.
