Jungkook has never felt this worried before. He kept staring at the door. Waiting for any news to come.
Jungkook paced outside the chamber, his footsteps echoing down the corridor. He had been told to wait elsewhere, but he couldn't bring himself to leave.
Fear gripped his heart as he thought of Y/n, his wife, struggling through labor inside.
"Your Majesty, please," a gentle voice urged, "You shouldn't be out here. It's not proper."
Jungkook spun around, his eyes wild. "I'm scared," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.
Hoseok’s expression softened. "The princess will be fine, sir. It's a blessing from the gods."
Jungkook's laugh was bitter. "A blessing? She's only seven months pregnant. She's so weak, so frail...I'm afraid she'll die."
His mother died while giving birth. That is why he was so against her getting pregnant. How could he let that happen even knowing the consequences?
He thought back to the months past, watching Y/n's body change, her slender frame dwindling as if the baby was consuming her from the inside out. She couldn't even walk without assistance now.
Hoseok placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "It's the will of the gods, Your Majesty. You shouldn't feel guilty."
Jungkook shook off the hand, his eyes blazing. "I fcked her, not the gods. I'm the one who did this to her."
He was annoyed by everyone telling him it's god’s doing. He held his hand, he should have controlled himself, he should have been more careful.
His voice cracked as he thought of losing Y/n, of never seeing her smile again.
Jungkook burst into the chamber, his heart racing, as a loud scream echoed through the air, followed by Y/n's faint cries.
He was met with a scene of chaos, the midwife and maids yelling and shaking in fear, their eyes fixed on something in the bed.
Y/n lay pale and exhausted, her eyes wide with confusion, as a...thing emerged from her body.
It was not a child, but a dark creature with scales and horns, its eyes glowing red.
The midwife and maids cowered, frozen in terror, as the creature let out a blood-curdling wail.
Jungkook's mind reeled in horror, but he sprang into action, grabbing a nearby knife and cutting the umbilical cord, still attached to Y/n.
"How could you be so negligent?" Jungkook thundered, his anger directed at the midwife. "You risked Y/n's life!"
The midwife trembled, "I-I couldn't, Your Majesty..the rumors are true, it's a curse...she is cursed!"
Jungkook's face darkened, his fists clenched. "She is not cursed," he growled, taking out his sword and cutting the head off the midwife.
He looked at the maid, “Who else thinks she is cursed?”
