Forbidden Tides | Jikook

Chapter 1 🌬

Long ago...

They told me to close my eyes and count to 100.

I waited even after I got way past 100 and no other sounds but the crickets were heard.

I still haven't found them.

———————————

"Jimin?" I felt a hand tap my shoulder. In response I hummed trying to wake from my hazy dream.

"The bell rang, class is over." I heard them say, to which I sat up, blinking my eyes rapidly. I noticed that me and Hoseok were the only two left here "What period do we have next?" I asked as I stretched and yawned, feeling my bones click.

"Your least favourite, English." Hobi said as he let out a light chuckle. I let out a heavy breath of annoyance as I stood from my seat and threw my bag over my shoulder. "Another class to sleep through then." I muttered as I followed Hobi out of the classroom.

I ran my hand through my hair as I noticed the empty hall ways "you could have left me and avoided lunch time detention." I said as I shoved my hand into my pocket.

"Nah, I gotta look out for my best friend." He replied and threw his arm around me.

"And since i'm so caring for you, can you please tell me how you manage to get all the answers right despite sleeping through all the classes?" Hoseok asked as he pinched my cheek gently.

I giggled "even if I told you, you'd never get it." I replied.

You don't want this Hobi...

He pouted in response and luckily we reached the classroom we were meant to be in, I immediately tapped on the door and opened it. I saw by the teacher's face, she was not happy as she frowned at both of us.

We took our seats after a small lecture at the front of the class - bit embarrassing. I didn't care much though, they already dislike me.

While the teacher spoke at the front, I stared out the dusty window. The tall tree's hovered over the school, I liked to imagine they were guards, planted there to watch over me.

But reality always comes as slap in the face.

"Jimin!" The teacher said with her voice slightly raised.

I turned my head to her and forced a smile "yes miss?" I asked.

"Please repeat what I was talking about, it's important for your exams." She said with a smirk.

I stared into her eyes "well, you went into detail about Macbeth's ambition and how it allowed his wife to easily test his loyalty to King Duncan. Therefore it was a key theme in the play." I said and her face dropped to a confused look.

She cleared her throat "uhm, well, very good." She mumbled and continued talking to the whole class.

I knew too much, I knew everything.

Jackson, who sat in front of me, was secretly sleeping with our gym coach. Rose, who was currently at home sick, went to a party without her parents permission. Hyunmin, who was the class president, was also sleeping with our gym coach.

How do I know this?

Oh it's simple, I just read their minds.

And apparently, i'm the only one who can do this. Although, I knew of one big secret, shared by many students here.

Werewolves, they were fucking werewolves. I freaked out when I first read the mind of one. I avoided them at all costs, scared of them and what they were capable of.
