Claws And Fangs

Chapter 4

"That guy is a wolf... and we didn't even notice it," Jungkook said, staring at the ceiling, lying on his bed.

"Not we, it's only you. I knew it from the start," Taehyung replied, lying beside him.
(They shared a bedroom.)

Jungkook snapped his face toward Taehyung. "Really? How come I don't know it then?"

"Because you're always busy flirting with girls," Taehyung rolled his eyes and turned off the lights.
(Vampires sleep like humans too, I once read it on Google, though it's probably just a myth.)

"But how does Jimin know Y/n?" Jungkook asked again.

"Even I don't know that," Taehyung replied and turned to his left side.

"That guy Jimin's smell is so annoying... it gives me a burning sensation," Jungkook said, making a disgusted face.

"Every werewolf smells like that," Taehyung muttered.

On the other hand - Y/n's POV

Why do their faces keep flashing in front of my eyes every time I close them?

It's so fucking annoying.

I let out a huff, stood up from my bed, and walked to the window.

"Waah... the moon is so mesmerizing."

As I stood there admiring it, a distant memory surfaced-something my mother told me when I was only three years old:
"You are special, Y/nie. You're the Moon Goddess's favourite. That's why she gave these powers only to you."

Aah... most of the time, these powers only make me suffer.
And when I do need them... they don't even work.

I sighed in frustration, eyes still locked on the glowing moon.

The next day-

"Y/n!" I heard Yumi's voice behind me just as I was walking into the university.

I turned around to see her running toward me, grinning from ear to ear.

"Look!" she said, thrusting her hand out in front of me.

My eyes widened. "Is that... a couple ring?"

"Yes!" she squealed, practically bouncing on her feet.

"When? And how?" I asked, raising a playful brow.

"Okay, let me tell you from the beginning," she said, barely able to contain her excitement.
"There's this boy in our college-Kim Namjoon. He's our senior. I've had a crush on him since childhood-he's my neighbor. And guess what?"
She threw her arms around me, squealing. "He proposed to me last night!"

"And you said yes, right?" I asked with a knowing grin.

"Of course I did!" she laughed, glowing with happiness.

"Congratulations, Yumi." I hugged her back, smiling warmly.

As Yumi and I walked into the building, my eyes instinctively drifted ahead-only to catch Jungkook approaching from the far end of the hallway.

"Uhm, Yumi... I have something urgent to do. See you later!" I blurted quickly, not waiting for a response before darting off.

Yumi blinked at my retreating figure, her expression twisting in confusion.
"Sometimes she really behaves so strangely," she muttered before turning toward her class.

I rushed toward the college's backyard, hoping to clear my mind. But instead of peace, I ran right into someone-hard.

Jungkook? I thought, lifting my gaze.
