Eclipse Of Seven Shadows

Passionate Whispers: Bound Souls

Time passed by.....

As Serene drifted off to sleep, exhaustion from the day's travels weighing heavily on her, Aurora found solace in the pages of her book, the quiet of the room enveloping her like a warm embrace.

A soft knock on the door startled Aurora, and she rose to answer it, her heart skipping a beat when she saw Taehyung standing on the other side. Without a second thought, she pulled him into a tight hug, the warmth of his embrace chasing away any lingering unease.

"I missed you so much," Taehyung murmured, his voice filled with longing. "I'm glad you came with Serene. Now we'll finally have some time together."

Aurora smiled, a mischievous glint dancing in her eyes. "Oh, we'll have plenty of time," she teased, her voice laced with playful anticipation.

Before their embrace could deepen, they were interrupted by the sudden appearance of Jimin and Selen, who entered the room as though they had just arrived. Aurora quickly composed herself, concealing the rush of emotions that had overtaken her moments before.

Selen's gaze lingered on Aurora for a moment before she spoke, a warning edge to her tone. "Remember, you're in our realm now," she reminded Aurora, her words a gentle reminder of the rules that governed their world.

Aurora nodded, her expression solemn. "I understand," she replied, her voice tinged with gratitude. "Thank you."

Meanwhile

In the living area of the palace, the group gathered, their discussions weaving a tapestry of concern and curiosity.

Jimin's furrowed brow betrayed his unease. "It seems Taehyung knows Aurora well enough," he remarked, his tone tinged with suspicion.

Selen nodded in agreement, her gaze serious. "They were quite close when we visited Serene's room," she confirmed, her voice low.

Sable and Luna exchanged knowing glances, their curiosity piqued. "We should keep an eye on them, just to be safe," Luna suggested, her tone cautious.

Yoongi's laughter broke through the tension, his amusement evident. "Looks like even enemies can fall for each other," he joked, though his eyes held a hint of seriousness.

Namjoon's expression remained grave as he reminded them of their reality. "Let's not forget they're still our rivals," he cautioned, his voice firm.

Sable proposed a plan, her eyes gleaming with determination. "We should ask Serene about Aurora in detail," she suggested, her tone resolute.

Elena, always the mediator, offered a gentler approach. "Perhaps we could invite Serene for a movie night," she suggested, her voice soothing. "It would give us a chance to ask without alarming her."

Seokjin nodded in agreement, his demeanor calm yet firm. "We must tread carefully and treat Serene with kindness," he advised, his words carrying weight. "Despite our differences, she is still human and deserves our respect."

As they conversed, Jungkook entered the room, immediately sensing a shift in the atmosphere. His curiosity piqued, he approached the group, his gaze lingering on their hushed tones.

"Did we have guests?" he inquired, noting the sudden silence that greeted his arrival.

Sable nodded in confirmation. "Yes, some of my friends were here. They just left a few minutes ago," she replied, her tone casual.
