Jungkook returned to where he had left Jin, his heart racing with a mix of anxiety and affection. Jin was completely absorbed, playing with the colorful butterflies that flitted around him, laughter spilling from his lips.

“Oh, Jungkook, you’re back! Look at these butterflies—they’re so pretty—” Jin’s words were abruptly cut off as Jungkook wrapped his arms around him tightly, pulling him close. It was as if he felt an unshakeable fear that Jin might slip away from him, like the fleeting butterflies that danced in the air.

“Jin,” Jungkook murmured into his hair, burying his face against him, his grip firm yet gentle. “I was worried about you.”

Jin turned slightly in Jungkook’s embrace, surprised by the sudden intensity of the hug. “What’s wrong? You look a bit pale.” His tone was light, but concern laced his words as he tried to pull back to look into Jungkook’s eyes.

“I just... I needed to feel you close,” Jungkook admitted, his voice a low whisper, laced with urgency. The weight of Jimin’s warnings still hung heavily on his mind, making him all too aware of the fragility of this moment. He didn’t want to think about the dangers lurking just outside their bubble of happiness.

Jin smiled softly, his heart racing at Jungkook's vulnerability. “I’m right here,” he said, resting his hands on Jungkook’s arms, grounding him. “You don’t have to worry so much.”

But Jungkook couldn’t shake the feeling. “I know,” he replied, pulling back just enough to look into Jin’s eyes. “I just… I don’t want anything to happen to you. You mean too much to me.”

Jin’s expression softened, his heart fluttering at the weight of Jungkook’s words. “I’m fine, Jungkook. I promise. Just… tell me what’s going on. You seem different since you came back.”

Jungkook hesitated, battling the urge to reveal everything—the truth about who he really was, the rules he was breaking, the dangers that loomed. But he didn’t want to scare Jin. Not when they had just started to explore this beautiful connection. Instead, he focused on the warmth radiating between them, the way Jin’s presence filled the empty spaces within him.

“I just had a lot to think about,” Jungkook finally said, his voice steadier. “But being with you… it makes everything feel right.”

Jin’s eyes sparkled with joy at Jungkook’s words. “Then let’s enjoy this moment,” he said brightly, glancing at the butterflies that swirled around them. “Let’s forget everything else, even if it’s just for a little while.”

Jungkook nodded, allowing a smile to break through his earlier tension. He held Jin a little tighter, cherishing the moment. The world outside could wait; for now, all that mattered was the feeling of Jin in his arms, the laughter they shared, and the butterflies that danced around them, a fleeting reminder of the beauty of this moment.

Since that day, Jungkook's protective instincts over Jin had intensified. He couldn't bear the thought of Jin being out of his sight, even for a moment. The desire to reveal his true identity to Jin weighed heavily on him, but uncertainty loomed over how to approach such a monumental truth.

Sitting in the classroom, Jungkook's gaze drifted to the window, his mind restless as he awaited Jin's return. The teacher had called Jin out for some reason he couldn’t quite grasp, but Jungkook’s worry only deepened. He had wanted to follow, but Jin had insisted he stay back and focus on coloring the flowers in the sketchbook Jungkook had given him.

Flipping through the pages, Jungkook smiled at the array of drawings, each one a testament to Jin's creativity and spirit. As he came across one particular image, his breath caught in his throat. There it was again—the angel from Jin’s dream. This time, the depiction was even more exquisite, the figure draped in flowing white garments, hair cascading down like a waterfall. However, the absence of eyes and mouth gave the drawing an ethereal quality, making it all the more mysterious.
