Jungkook walks through the dense forest. He has memorized his way in and out of the woods because being a loner, he usually spends his free time exploring the pack territory, that is if he's not busy chasing after Yunhee. But the omega said they aren't mates, so he stopped pursuing her. Who is he fooling? No omega in their right mind would choose to mate someone like him. He doesn't expect his mate's acceptance. No, he just wants their honesty. He wishes for them to tell him the truth, that they're mates and that's all.
He knows that his mate considers him a flaw, an embarrassment because how would he protect his mate with his weak self? Their wolves are what make them stronger, faster and resilient. Without their wolves, they are just plain human-slower and weaker.
Yes, he did his best to keep his body in shape and learned archery to defend himself, but those aren't enough if he's fighting against alphas. He blinks his eyes to hold back his tears. He shouldn't waste time overthinking the things he can't change.
He continues to carefully tread the forest floor in search of lotus flowers. After half an hour of scouting the area, he finally finds what he is looking for. In front of him is a lotus field brimming with the pretty blossoms.
He quickly makes his way to the field and picks some of the pink flowers and carefully places them in the canvas drawstring bag he has in his back pocket. He also pulls out some small plants as he intends to grow them in pots.
He sniffs some of the blossoms before he packs them inside the bag. A feeling of calmness washes over him as he revels in the sweet-smelling scent of the delicate flowers. His mind wanders to the times he took care of Taehyung during his heat. How his delicious scent almost made him lose control. He shakes his head, he can't delude himself into thinking that he and Taehyung may have a bond just because he can smell him. Only fated mates can have that. Kihyun is the omega's fated mate and his is-. He lets out a humorless laugh. He carries the bag on his right shoulder and prepares to go home when he hears a hissing sound near him. His face pales as he steps back, there is a viper slyly slithering towards him.
Jungkook tries to run and escape his impending death but the toe of his boots is caught under a vine, causing him to trip and fall on his bottom. He is certain this would be his end. The snake rounds him, as if enjoying the sight of Jungkook's terror-stricken face. The viper hisses again, louder this time and opens its mouth to sink its venomous fangs on his bare leg, when it suddenly stiffens and looks up meeting Jungkook's terrified eyes.
