The Heart of a Beast ✔

What he fears more

A month later

Another maiden screams and runs away thru woods, Jimin's shoulders slump, "I am sorry Taehyung that's the 7th one this week." "Forget it Jimin, thank you for trying to help me but I just have to come to terms that I will die a lonely dragon", he says walking slowly back into his cave. After that Jimin couldn't get Taehyung to come out and if he did speak to him he was mean and hateful but Jimin still brought him food so he wouldn't starve, it broke his heart to see his once confident brother reduced to a mean, bitter shell of himself.

In the Kingdom

"Father I am going to make delivery's, I'll return as soon as I am done", Seokjin said. "Ok son, be careful and come right home", his father says. Jin walks thru the village, he loves looking at the castle, it's so beautiful, he makes his delivery's and decides to stop to see the fruits and vegetables being sold by the local farmers. He picks a delicious looking red apple and pays the old lady for it, wiping it on his shirt and taking a bite, he closes his eyes as the fruit juice runs down his throat. 

He walks back toward his house eating his apple when he sees three men staring at him and smirking, he tries to walk a different way but they block his path and he stops, dropping his apple. "Hey beautiful, how would you like to be our boyfriend, we sure could use some company right about now", one of the disgusting men says grabbing his dick with excitement.

 Jin doesn't hesitate, he throws the basket in their direction distracting them than turns and starts running, he ran as fast as he could but could still hear the men behind him. Jin ran deep into the woods and knew he was going to get lost, he's never ventured this far before, in front of him he sees a cave and decides to try to hide in there. 

It's dark and he tries to make his way farther in to find a hiding place, he hears them enter the cave and he panics, he starts to run and he thinks he sees a fire burning farther into the cave, he runs for it and as he sees it he falls, scraping his hands and knees, he cries out in pain. 

"WHO IS IN MY CAVE", a voice booms. Jin stands petrified waiting to see what emerges from the shadows, when the dragon comes into view Jin squeaks and wants to run. "WHY ARE YOU HERE, THIS IS MY CAVE", Taehyung yells. Tears start to fall from Jin's eyes until he hears the men voices, he gasps and runs toward the dragon hiding under his wing. 

"HEY GET AWAY FROM ME", Tae hollers loudly. Jin looks up at the dragon with tears in his eyes, "please please hide me, they are trying to hurt me." Just then the men come into view and Taehyung stares them down, the men freeze where they stand and he knows they are trying to get to the boy, so he brings Jin closer to his side with his wing hiding him better. 

"HOLY SH-SHIT A D-DRAGON", one of the guys screams. "Lets get the hell out of here", another one says. Tae rears back and breathes fire at them as they run away, after a minute Jin pokes his head out, "th-thank you for protecting me, I am sorry for coming into your cave." "DONT COME BACK", Taehyung shouts, making Jin run out of the cave. 

"All these people bothering me, cant I get any sleep", Tae says glumly walking back to his spot in the cave and dropping down onto the floor. He sighs, wondering who the boy was that he helped, seeing him with the tears in his eyes made Tae soften a bit, the thought that those men were trying to hurt him angers him, wishing he could do something to them. 

Jin made it home safely and ran to his room, jumping on his bed holding his heart, he couldn't believe that a dragon helped protect him and could talk, he always thought that dragons were myths and didn't really exist. Jin sits up in bed, "I am going to make him some food and bring it to him, he looks so lonely in that cave and I want to thank him properly." He heads downstairs to help his mother with dinner, trying to figure out what he will make the dragon come morning.
