Euphoria

49: Throw Myself Whole Into Both Worlds

"You really were that stupid?"
Tama scoffed, crossing her legs. Mocking the young couples mere existence. Dorchados tried to calm his twin sister,
"Tama..."
Tama glared at her brother,
"What Dorchados?"
"Let's be civil."
"Even after all this disrespect you don't expect me to smile and ask them if they want to have some tea like an idiot. Do you Dorchados?"
Jungkook gulped, watching his fingers intertwined withMaya's. Maya sat their, with a smile. Unfazed.
Tama, grunted, staring at Jungkook. Disgust was an underwhelming way of expressing what she was feeling. Her long fingers pointed at Jungkook,
"Dorchados don't you see it? We are literally sitting down with a disgusting piece..."
"Just because I'm hearing it all with a smile, doesn't mean that you get to talk shit about him."
Maya stood up, her fist slammed against the table. Dorchados couldn't deny the power she held.
"Calm down, calm down ladies."
He looked at Jungkook, smiling,
"Gentleman, would you control your woman?"
Jungkook leaned back. Smugness poured all over his face,
"Nah. My woman does whatever she wants."
"You..."
Dorchados felt a strangling rage. Insult. How can a mortal insult him? His stick up in the air, soon close enough to hit Jungkook's skin. But was our Jungkookie a wuss? Never in a thousand years.
Jungkook dodged the attack, quickly pulling the stick away from Dorchados. He spun it around in his finger,
"Don't you think the stick fits me more?"
Dorchados looked like a puppy who had been tied down. He could do nothing but grit his teeth.
Maya on the other hand felt like a proud mother. A mother who just saw her first grader ace a math exam.
Jungkook was calm about all these. About Tama's death stare, Dorchados' rage and Maya's pride. The smirk on his lips never left for a second.
"Well, if you wanna talk, then do it the right way. Don't disrespect me or my lady. We'll talk it out. Keep it professional. You talk shit about me or my girl, I swear on the heavens, I'm gonna burn this place down with my bare hands."
"I gotta say, you have the strength."
"Too much strength for a mortal, if you ask me Dorchados."
The twins snarked. But did Jungkook care? No. Did Maya care? Heck yeah!
Her eyes rolled in a perfect way. Bit the inside of her cheeks. Disbelief taking the best of her. She, never in her life, has seen a more disrespectful creature ever.
"We don't have time, we have places to go..."
"Like the other realm?"
And it was all they needed. Maya felt her soul lag. almost freeze. Her nails dug into Jungkook's palms. The air around them felt heavier every second.
"Finally!"
Dorchados chuckled bitterly. Followed by a scoffing Tama. The twins have finally found the preys they were hunting down every night.
"Cat's got your tongue now brats?"
Tama's voice felt like molten lead. Maya couldn’t help but shiver a bit. Saliva forming at the back of her throat,
"Tell me. Tell us."
"Really? Should I now?"
Tama toyed with a paperweight. She loved playing with her preys. Especially when she hits the thought at the back of their head. They stare at her, completely numb, wanting to hear more. But she just toys with them. Till they can't take anymore. Desperation taking the best in them. Wanting to give in.

"Serpentes!"
Tama's eyes widening, as her face went pale. The knot on her neck tightening. Dorchadps could do nothing as the serpent around her neck kept on hissing.
Jungkook spun the stick in his hands. Slowly whispering what the stick told him to,
"Vinculum."
Dorchados gasped. Traitor! How could his magic betray him? He couldn't throw a fit. His hands tied behind his back, his body kneeling down on it's own will.
"Now are you going to spill? Or are you really that dumb?"
Maya gritted her teeth, her veins popping up. Tama was on the floor. Her face was slowly turning into a pale purple.
"Fr-ee... Me-me... You BiTch!"
"Manners, Tama."
Maya kneeled down, toying with Tama's collar. In front of her Tama was wriggling like a small insect. Would it be to hard to let go of pride?
"Plea-se...fr-ee... Me..."
Maya smirked, snapping her fingers. In front of her was the Tama. Wriggling for mercy.

Tama was still not over it. A very visible mark on her neck. Her voice was barely audible. Wrath taking over her.
Neither was Dorchados. His ego was badly bruised. He didn't care the marks on his wrist. Jungkook was tatooed on the back of his mind. How could a mortal ever make him kneel down on the floor? That too with his own magic stick? Utterly outrageous!

"On the count of three, you better start."
Maya rubbed her ring. In a rather threatening pace. Her eyes scanning the twins, before softening as they fell on Jungkook.
"1..."
Maya swore she saw Tama snarl. A gulp going down her bruised throat. Maybe she went too hard with the magic. But she made her do it.
"2..."
An uneasy feeling creeping up Dorchados' skin. Why was she taking so much time before she uttered, 3? Tama couldn't take it any longer,
"What do you wanna hear?"
"The audacity you had of calling us stupid. Of course we wanna hear about that other realm!"
Maya scoffed. Mockery evident in her otherwise charming voice. Jungkook thoight he was seeing someone else. Not like he didn't like it.

"The other realm exists and is just as real as the one you're living through."
It hurts. It hurts to see your fear turn out to be the surprise you've waited for. The feeling of not feeling the pure joy.
Jungkook felt the same blunt pain rising up his throat. The same question. If not him, then why that Jeon Jungkook? If both are realities, then why not the same things? Why does he deserve to live the dream, when both of them saw it? Why is his life so picture perfect, when both the worlds are real? Why can't he be just like that Jungkook?
"This realm is a disaster for you, while the otehr realm is your dream. Am I not right, Mr?"
"Yeah."
The dream life dawning on his eyes. Like a daydream. The things that Jungkook lives through.
Tama smirked, her voice felt like a velvet blindfold,
"Don't you think that world is better?"
