Tomorrow's Moon|YEONBIN

Ch3|Hyung

Soobin panted, bending over and resting his hands on his thighs. He really should've worked out more so this was completely his fault.

After regaining some breath, he finally looked around his new surroundings. The dark woods. It honestly made him feel comfortable, at peace, at a familiar yet unfamiliar surrounding. Like the name, the woods were almost completely dark even though the sun was still setting. It would've felt completely eerie, scaring your senses if you weren't used to places like this but for this demon who's recently moved out of hell, it was alright.

He started to walk, using his alpha to track down his brother who's hiding somewhere out here and hopefully not fucking some whore.

With the fallen leaves rustling and crunching under his feet, he took his sweet time admiring the beauty of these woods. It wasn't that bad, it was just completely pitch-black and would be impossible for a mere human to survive the night here.

Soobin could sense phantoms and other creatures of the night lurking here. From what he had heard from Namjoon, the darkwoods were also connected to the human realm and the enchanted forest. Which can explain the main reason why so many of the people of hell lurked in these woods to camp and hunt for their prey that dares to walk in here.

He wasn't too familiar with the rules for the demons or other creatures which is why he needs to find his goddamn hyung. He was still following the scent his demon had picked up on the familiar scent of sour pineapples. He was like a bloody dog but he groaned in annoyance when the trace of scent abruptly disappeared.

"What the fuck is this stupid hyung doing–," Soobin stopped as he stared at those round green eyes staring back at him. He scanned the creature from head-to-toe. It had brown hair, almost bouncy and weirdly shiny. It was small, at least smaller than him and it strangely stared back at him with annoyance. He took his time analysing the small creature's fair skin and pretty complexion until he came to the conclusion that this was a faerie. It was his first time seeing one so close up. He was about to say something but a voice interrupted him.

"What do you think you're doing?" The faerie's eyes sharpened before scoffing. Soobin was astonished by the attitude this faerie was showing to a demon in the dark woods. Their territory.

"I should be asking you that." He stared down at the short faerie, not wanting to lose any more time but the faerie was not going to put up with him either.

"Excuse me?! You're the one in fucking faerie territory! You stupid blindfolded demon!" The faerie yapped at him and Soobin paused at his words. Faerie territory? What.

He finally looked at the trees around him and saw how different they were, certainly with more life and animals living in the area. No wonder he lost track of his hyung's scent. Soobin sighed, looking back at the fuming faerie. "My apologies. I didn't even realise."

The faerie was confused by Soobin's apologetic and sincere tone of voice. That was different. "Uhm. Okay. But you better leave. You do know that the individual homes are territories of protection and we only interact in Limbo." The faerie formed a line on his lips as Soobin nodded.

"Hmm, yeah I do know. Just moved here today." The faerie widened his mouth understanding, not saying anything else.

"Well, bye...And don't you dare come back!" The faerie changed his attitude quickly before running off the direction Soobin assumed he came from. The demon turned away and walked back to the dark woods, hoping to find his hyung.

"Fuck you."

Jungkook rolled his eyes, "Not my fault you're so shitty at this game."

"You could've just met me at my house." Soobin stated, getting more annoyed at the second. It took him to midnight to find Jungkook who was hanging at the very edge of the woods with some bitch that nearly covered his entire scent.

"Where's the fun in that, Bin-ah?" Jungkook sighed, his playful manner not interesting Soobin at all.

"You're such a fucking tease." Soobin glared at the prostitute hanging on Jungkook's side, completely entranced by Jungkook's spell, blinded to its surroundings. "Get rid of that whore."

"Aww but this is my sex slave of the night." Jungkook whined, his words not so innocent as his actions but Soobin was not having it, already having to deal with Jungkook for 83 years. When Jungkook saw that Soobin was clearly irritated with him, he sighed before snapped his fingers, the neck of the prostitute twisted and she slumped against the ground where Jungkook shortly threw her onto.

He got himself off the tree he was leaning on before standing next to Soobin. "How the fuck are you taller than me?! It's only been 10 years since I saw you last."

"I'm only 11 centimetres taller." Soobin started walking, "Enough about that. Tell me what the rules of this place are."

"Hmm. So. The rules for the creatures of hell is that we're not allowed to feast or hunt anyone in Limbo but such rules don't really matter or exist in the dark woods. So, if anyone 'accidentally' stumbles into here, you can do whatever the fuck you want with them. Another thing is that you're not allowed to enter other territories without the permission of one of the residents, we're only allowed to interact with each other in limbo. Obviously, some people like you and I are staying in the houses in Limbo while others are staying in their given territories. If you do enter some territory without permission, the creatures there can do whatever the fuck with you too, so I suggest not to because who knows how feral they can go." Soobin groaned at how foolish he was and Jungkook laughed, "I don't blame ya. I did that too but I ended up fucking them anyway. By the way, the council are the selected few from the highest families, breeds and races of all creatures who are in charge of everything here in Limbo. They do regular check ups and can easily banish you, so don't get on their nerves."

Soobin remembered something his ba had told him, "Ba told me you're seeing one of the creatures on the council." Jungkook whistled before cackling.

"Hell yeah! I am!'' He whooped before Soobin used the weight of his power to crush Jungkook into the dirt ground. His face mushed into the dirt. "There's like—what—around 12 of them on the council and no, I'm not using him or fucking with him. I genuinely do like him, Soobin." Jungkook sighed in relief when Soobin released his power. He met face with a smiling brother. But he did literally have a prostitute hanging by his side a moment ago.

"That's nice to know. I'm glad you found someone." Soobin could only smile. Jungkook was your average fuckboy and playboy you see and hear about, never having real feelings or good intentions, so hearing this was definitely something to be conscious and aware of but it seemed like that wasn't the case.

"Though, Jimin does have a fucking tight hole–."

"FUCK OFF!" Soobin blocked his ears before speeding up his pace, ignoring his babbling hyung behind him. He only stopped when Jungkook tapped his shoulder.

"Can I stay the night?" Jungkook looked at him with twinkling puppy eyes and Soobin groaned, those types of looks were fucking ugly to him, never working on him either.

"Don't do that shit. And yeah, you can." Soobin blinked his eyes with a straight smile as Jungkook laughed, throwing his arm around Soobin.

"Lead the way, bro." Jungkook giggled but stopped when Soobin looked at him, biting his lip with nervous eyes. "What?"

Soobin nervously laughed, rubbing his neck after Jungkook dropped his arm, "I don't know the way..."

Jungkook punched him hard.
