Hello, my lovelies! This is rather unusual, I'm a bit nervous about this one so I hope you'll give it lots of love...! This will probably not fit into any pre-conceived ideas you may have about anything, so just go with it. If you know me, you know the rules, Taekook endgame, always! I should warn you though that this gets a little rough in places...
Cakeverse is originally Korean, although I think it has a bigger Japanese Fandom. I have written it with my own twist (rules are explained in the prologue).
Don't forget your kudos and comments determine directly how well this work ranks and how the algorithm offers it in searches, so I really appreciate all your love!
TRIGGER WARNING
There is a very brief description of an attempted assault, it's not between Taekook but it does involve Taehyung. It's not sexual in nature but involves non-consensual licking and ripping of clothes.

PROLOGUE
There are three types of people in this world:
Normal people ("Normals"), Forks are people who differ from Normals by only one genetic mutation. It causes them to gradually lose their sense of smell and taste completely. After this, they are only able to detect one thing. Cakes are also born with a mutation but their innocuous genetic change, once activated, makes them not only detectable to Forks but also completely irresistible due to their delicious scent.
These mutations are rare and activate in adulthood once bodily fluids are exchanged with another person. The sweetness of Cakes eventually becomes the only thing Forks are able to smell and taste, and it ultimately results in a kind of madness, an overwhelming desire to consume and devour.
They call it Hunger. When Forks are completely lost to Hunger, they become Feral Forks, humans devoid of all humanity who are only interested in seeking and destroying Cakes.
A cure is yet to be found.
-
Meet Taehyung who is unaware he is a Cake and Jungkook who is trying his best to be a good Fork by staying away from all temptation by avoiding Cakes, altogether. Unfortunately for Jungkook, his plan fails when he meets the delightful Taehyung, who hasn't activated and is, therefore, undetectable to him.
