Unkempt blood {A YoonminSeok FF}

Harsh Childhood

In the forgotten corners of the world, where shadows danced beneath the moon's embrace, there existed two young souls named Jimin and Taehyung. They were peculiar, not just for their extraordinary powers but for the way they navigated a world that often shunned them. Born of both wolf and Jimin with vampire's and Taehyung with human's lineages, these boys were outcasts—bullied for their differences and mocked for their mixed heritage. Yet amid adversity, they found strength in each other, a bond anchored deep in shared loss; they both mourned the unfortunate departure of their mothers, lost under tragic circumstances none dared to openly discuss.

As the sun set behind the ancient woods one evening, Jimin and Tae sat perched on a fallen log, the heavy weight of the day slowly dissipating with each breath of the crisp evening air. Jimin's silver hair glowed ethereally in the dusk, while Tae's dark locks, tousled by the wind, framed his face like a halo of shadows. They knew each other's hearts better than anyone; there wasn't a secret kept between them.

"I can sense it, Tae," Jimin spoke softly, his voice a rhythmic murmur that echoed within the hush of the forest. "It won't be long before we find out what happened to our mothers."

Tae glanced sideways at his friend, a flicker of worry crossing his face. "Do you think it's safe? Many say the trail is haunted by the ones who took them."

"Whatever waited out there, it cannot sever the strings that tie us. I have you, and you have me." Jimin's resolve was strong, though the shadows of doubt danced behind his vivid eyes. They had grown stronger, yet their destinies seemed destined for tragedy.

Years passed, and anticipation simmered with every heartbeat. Jimin eventually learned he was not just an outcast; he was the heir to a legacy. The leader of a powerful werewolf pack and a vampire coven was embedded in him like a pulsing secret. Meanwhile, Tae stood steadfast at his side, loyal and unwavering as his beta. But they were children still, learning the ropes of power and responsibility.

But revenge soon became their primary motive when they uncovered the brutal origins of their torment: a clandestine group that lusted for dominance over both werewolves and vampires. These were the fiends responsible for the tragedy that ripped away their mothers—an event they would come to know as "The Night of Whispers."

Empowered by fury and the desire to avenge their fallen mothers, Jimin and Tae set forth on a dangerous outing, full of hope and dread alike. But fate is a fickle mistress; upon digging too deeply into the shadows, they found themselves ensnared in the grip of their nemeses. Captured, they were bound in chains forged from silver and cursed with the dark words of their captors, an unfortunate assembly that labeled them as an "abomination."

The ordeal was more than a test of endurance; it was an unyielding tide of pain from which escape felt impossible. Day by day, they endured torment, their spirits stretched thin under a cruel sun and a harsher dawn. For two long years, their friendship was their only lifeline, an ember of hope flickering in dark times. Jimin started to hear whispers amidst the agony, a connection awakening deep within him—his inner wolves murmured encouragement.

They were subject to psychological warfare as brutal as any chains that bound them. Jimin often felt the burden of Tae's suffering weigh heavily on his shoulders. He saw the light gradually dim in Tae's eyes, and it stoked a burning flame of determination inside him.

One fateful day, their captors chose to mock them again, reveling in their helplessness. "Two lost souls waiting for salvation," one jeered, his voice dripping with venom. "How pitiful. You'll never escape."

But in that moment, as Ted's heart sank deeper into shadows, an unfamiliar power unfurled in Jimin's chest. He felt a surge whirl through him, an elemental force that beckoned him to open the floodgates. It was more than power; it was hope, pure and unyielding. The whispers of his wolves grew louder, urging him to harness what he had once feared.

"Jimin, don't!" Tae called out, sensing the energy bubbling below the surface.

But it was too late. With primal intensity, Jimin rose to his feet and shattered his restraints, a burst of energy that sent their captors staggering backwards. A ferocious growl escaped his lips as he summoned the strength of his heritage, transforming before their eyes into the tall, splendid figure of a wolfman, a fusion of lights and shadows.

"Freedom!" he bellowed, and Tae joined him, a fierce warrior embodying the loyalty of his blood. Together, they unleashed their wrath upon the shocked captors, reclaiming the freedom that had long been denied. They fought with everything they had—claws and fangs unleashed, illuminating the darkness around them.

It was a tempestuous escape. Hand in hand, they burst into the cold night; air sang as freedom enveloped them, sweet as nectar to their shattered souls. But their journey had just begun.

Bound by revenge against the cruel puppeteers of fate, they followed the trails marked by whispers of danger only to realize their pursuits extended beyond vengeance. There was more to their story than wrath; their powers called for something deeper—unity, justice, and healing. Along the way, they discovered fractured alliances and kindred spirits who called for change in a world screaming for acceptance.

Thus began the tale of Jimin and Tae—not a mere story of revenge but one of resilience, friendship, and hope. It echoed through the valley for those who listened, igniting their spirits to rise against malice.

In the legends whispered among the shadows of the world, their names became synonymous with courage. They proved that even unto the bitter reaches of despair, the power of friendship can transcend bloodlines and hardships—a reminder that within every heart lies the strength to fight, to protect, and to cherish the bonds that illuminate the darkest paths.

And so, the glimmer of hope remains, beckoning those who feel lost to the knowledge that they, too, possess the strength to shape their destinies, just as Jimin and Tae had bravely forged their own. As the night embraced the forest, two young warriors embraced their lineage, ready to carve a future beyond the shadows of their past—a future where friendship and hope illuminated the way forward.
