Love in the Shadows || Vsoo

Jisoo gazed at the moon, feeling a sense of unease. Tomorrow was a full moon, and she couldn't help but feel a tinge of fear. 

Full moons had always been a source of anxiety for her due to the unpredictable nature of the events that followed. 

She worried about the impact it might have on him, and she vowed to take extra precautions to ensure their safety during this time.

Jisoo's mind raced with thoughts as she contemplated the impending midnight of the full moon. She knew that whatever mysterious events were tied to the full moon would occur precisely at that time. 

Determined to face it head-on, she resolved to be prepared and vigilant, ready to protect both herself and Adrian from any potential harm that may arise.

The memory of his last words echoed in Jisoo's mind, sending a shiver down her spine. "Whatever happens, it will happen at midnight of the full moon." 

Those words held a weight of foreboding, hinting at the unknown and unsettling events that were yet to unfold. 

Jisoo's determination to keep her child safe grew stronger, and she vowed to stay vigilant and brace herself for whatever challenges the full moon would bring.

Jisoo's eyes widened as she looked at her hand, realizing that something was wrong. In a moment of panic, she snapped her fingers, but nothing happened. 

She could feel her powers slipping away, leaving her vulnerable and defenseless. The realization hit her hard—she was indeed losing her powers. 

Fear and uncertainty filled her heart as she grappled with the implications of this sudden change, wondering how it would affect her ability to protect Adrian during the impending full moon.

Jisoo's mind raced with worry and confusion as she struggled to comprehend the situation. Was this the moment she had feared? Was the time finally upon her? 

She felt a sense of helplessness, unable to formulate a plan or strategy to confront whatever awaited them during the full moon. 

Uncertainty loomed over her, intensifying her concern for Adrian's safety and her own ability to protect him. 

She knew she had to gather her strength and face this challenge head-on, even without her powers.

Seeking solace and comfort, Jisoo wrapped herself tightly in a blanket, creating a shield from the uncertainties that lay ahead. 

Exhausted both physically and emotionally, she allowed herself to drift into a restless sleep, hoping that rest would bring clarity and strength for the trials to come.

Wearing her Pikachu pajamas, Jisoo made her way to the kitchen, seeking a familiar routine to ground herself. 

She prepared a cup of coffee, the aroma enveloping the room and offering a moment of calm amidst the chaos of her thoughts. 

Sipping the warm beverage, she found a moment of respite, allowing herself to gather her thoughts and find the courage to face the challenges ahead.

After finishing her coffee, Jisoo decided to take a day off from work, realizing the importance of spending quality time with Adrian. 

She took a refreshing bath and got ready for the day, choosing comfortable clothes that would allow them to freely explore and enjoy their time together. 

With a renewed sense of purpose and determination, she looked forward to creating joyful memories with her child, temporarily setting aside the worries of the impending full moon.

"Where would you like to go, Adrian?" Jisoo inquired, eager to plan their day together. "The jungle," Adrian replied with excitement in his voice.

However, Jisoo hesitated at the idea, concerned about the potential dangers and risks of such an adventure. 

"Hmm, how about we explore a park instead?" she suggested, trying to steer him towards a safer and more suitable option for their day out.

Adrian's enthusiasm for going to the jungle was evident, and Jisoo couldn't help but smile at his excitement. 

Taking a moment to assess the situation, she considered the possibility of a compromise that would satisfy Adrian's desire while ensuring their safety. 

"Alright, Adrian, we can go to a nature reserve or a wildlife sanctuary that resembles a jungle. That way, 

we can experience the adventure you're seeking while still being in a controlled environment. How does that sound?" she proposed, hoping to find a middle ground that would fulfill both their wishes.

"No, I wanna go the jungle laying on the west coast of the eastern margin in the hills in the north!"

Jisoo's heart filled with both fear and concern at Adrian's insistence on going to such a remote and potentially dangerous location. 

She understood his desire for adventure, but the thought of venturing into familiar and perilous territory made her uneasy. 

With a gentle but firm tone, she explained, "Adrian, I understand your excitement, but the jungle you described is quite remote and may not be safe for us to explore. 

Let's find a compromise where we can still have an exciting day out, but in a location that ensures our well-being. How about we visit a nearby nature reserve or a hiking trail with beautiful scenery?"

Jisoo noticed Adrian's frustration and eye roll, understanding his disappointment with the compromise. 

She remained empathetic but firm in her decision, prioritizing their safety above all else. "I know it's not exactly what you had in mind, but I promise we'll have a great time exploring the nature reserve. There's still so much to see and discover there," 

she reassured him, hoping to shift his perspective and encourage him to embrace the alternative plan.

"But, why can't we go there?" Jisoo's heart sank as Adrian questioned why they couldn't go to the jungle he desired. 

She hesitated, torn between wanting to protect him from the truth and the weight of the unspoken "what ifs" that plagued her mind. 

After a moment of contemplation, she decided to gently address his question. "Adrian, that place holds some memories that are difficult for me," 

Jisoo began cautiously, her voice tinged with sadness. "There are things that happened there, things that I've tried to shield you from. I want to keep you safe, and going there would pose risks that I cannot fully explain right now."

She looked into his eyes, hoping he would understand the gravity of the situation. "Please trust me, Adrian. I'm doing what I believe is best for both of us."
