Snow

Chapter 29

While Jungkook sleeps, Taehyung lies awake and stares at the red flame on Jungkook's lower back. As he stares at the mark, he slowly reaches out and brushes his fingers over the flame. The moment Taehyung touches the red flame, Jungkook grunts in pain and tenses.

"I am sorry. Are you okay?" Taehyung quickly asks when Jungkook grunts in pain.

When Jungkook sits up and looks at him, Taehyung quickly realizes that the man looking at him is not his mate. "You are pregnant." The man softly smiles as he looks at Taehyung.

"H-how do you know?" Taehyung asks as he sits up and faces the man.

"I can sense another energy swirling within you. Plus, I have all of the memories of this body." The man hums and reaches out to gently brush his fingers across Taehyung's face.

"Who are you? Why are you in my mate's body?" Taehyung whispers as a tear trickles down his face.

"Pup, I am your mate. I am still Jungkook." Jungkook softly explains as he gently cups Taehyung's face in his hands.

"But you are different. Your eyes are different." Taehyung mutters and wonders why he is crying.

"Because this body can only host a certain amount of energy, only a part of me can stay conscious at all times. Somehow, you figured out how to wake up all of me. I can only stay awake for short periods of time so that I do not strain this body." Jungkook explains as he wipes the tears from Taehyung's face. "No matter which form I am in, I love you."

"Last time, you could not remember what had happened when you were in this state," Taehyung mutters and reaches up to hold Jungkook's hands that are gently cradling his face.

"That is okay because I love you no matter which form I am in." Jungkook softly smiles and leans forward to gently kiss Taehyung's nose.

"Who are you?" Taehyung asks as he is pulled into Jungkook's lap.

"I am the god of war, and you are my lover who was taken from me," Jungkook explains as he wraps his lover in his arms.

"Why are you human?" Taehyung mumbles and looks up into Jungkook's loving gaze.

"Bec- ugh!" Jungkook grunts in pain as his body wears out from hosting his full spirit.

"Jungkook! Jungkook!" Taehyung quickly turns around and catches his mate as he passes out. "Look at me. Jungkook!" He shakes his unconscious mate and whimpers with worry.

"I-I am okay," Jungkook mutters as he opens his eyes. "What happened?"

"You turned into that form again," Taehyung explains as he gently lays Jungkook on their bed. "It happened when I touched the red flame on your back. Are you in pain?" He worriedly asks as he checks Jungkook's temperature.

"I am okay. I am just exhausted." Jungkook hums and pulls Taehyung to lay on his chest. "And I feel longing and sorrow."

"He said that he is you. I tried to ask what happened, but then you passed out." Taehyung mutters and snuggles his face in the crook of Jungkook's neck.

"Next time that you wake him up, ask him that first." Jungkook softly chuckles and pets his mate's head.

"No. I am not waking him up again. You are always in pain when I do." Taehyung mumbles against Jungkook's neck.

"It is a good thing you have never woken him up while we were making love." Jungkook lightly laughs, causing Taehyung to release a scandalized gasp.

"That would have been so awkward." Taehyung laughs and kisses his mate's neck.
