In the dimly lit room, Jungkook sat at the edge of the bed, a shadow of his former self.

His voice was a mere whisper, laden with despair. "Everything is gone... I failed... I couldn't even protect my mother." He kept repeating the same words, his eyes turning a dark, ominous red.

So lost in his misery, Jungkook didn't even hear the knocking at the door.

Taehyung, unable to wait any longer, gently pushed it open and stepped inside. His heart ached at the sight before him.

Jungkook was a picture of desolation. Taehyung approached slowly, standing before him.

He leaned over, raising Jungkook's head to meet his gaze, only to be met with those terrifying dark red eyes.

A jolt of fear shot through Taehyung as he recalled the warning he had read in a book; when a devil's eyes turn dark red, it signifies a moment of immense power and imminent danger.

This transformation is a harbinger of chaos and destruction, indicating that the devil is about to unleash its most potent and malevolent abilities.

The dark red color symbolizes bloodlust, wrath, and a loss of any remaining restraint or mercy. In this state, the devil is consumed by a ferocious rage, ready to wreak havoc and devastation on anything or anyone in its path.

This change serves as a stark warning to all who witness it; a signal that death and ruin are inevitable if they do not flee or find a way to placate the demon.

Panic seized Taehyung. He shook Jungkook's shoulders, his voice urgent. "Jungkook, wake up! It's me... I'm here. Don't let it beat you, please. Jungkook, can you hear me?"

But Jungkook remained unresponsive, lost in his turmoil. Desperation took over Taehyung. Without thinking, in a moment of sheer panic, he kneeled down and pressed his lips against Jungkook's.

The touch was gentle but firm, a plea for Jungkook to come back to himself.

Slowly, Jungkook's eyes began to change, the dark red fading as his consciousness returned.

Surprised, Jungkook felt Taehyung's lips against his. For a moment, everything stilled.

Then, as if finding an anchor in the storm, he kissed Taehyung back, his eyes closing.

Their lips moved in sync, an exchange of warmth and reassurance. The room, once filled with despair, now held a fragile sense of hope as they clung to each other, finding solace in the connection they shared.

When Taehyung realized that Jungkook had returned to himself, he broke the kiss, breathless.

"Are you okay?" he asked, searching Jungkook's eyes for any sign of recognition.

Jungkook's gaze was fixed on Taehyung, intense and unreadable. He said nothing.

"Jungkook?" Taehyung shook his shoulders, seeking a response.

In a swift motion, Jungkook's hands moved to grasp Taehyung's neck, pulling him closer.

His lips crashed into Taehyung's once more, this time with a fervent intensity.
