Whispers Of The Cursed [TaeJin, JiKook]

"Kiss?!"

As Jin and Jungkook made their way back home, the village was bathed in the  soft glow of the setting sun. Jin walked quietly by Jungkook’s side, lost in thought, still shaken from his encounter with the mysterious Alpha under the cherry blossoms. Unbeknownst to them, that very same Alpha was watching them from the shadows, his gaze never leaving Jin.

The Alpha's heart twisted as he watched Jin rest in the arms of another. Therewas a strange, unexplainable ache in his chest as he observed the tenderness Jungkook showed toward Jin. His brows furrowed in confusion –way did seeing them together make him feel so uneasy?

He let out a quiet sigh before slowly walking behind them, keeping a safe distance, as they headed home. With every step, the Alpha's mind grew heavier, trying to understand the unfamiliar emotions swirling inside him.

Jin and Jungkook finally arrived at the shaman’s house, their temporary place of rest. They entered their assigned room just as Seo appeared, greeting them with a smile.

"Jin, Jungkook, you both should take a bath and freshen up in the bathroom at the back of the house. We need to leave for the night rituals soon," seo instructed with her usual firm but caring tone.

Jin nodded, his voice soft. "okay".

Jungkook glanced at Jin. "You go take a bath first." he said gently. "I'll go after you."

Jin shook his head, his exhaustion showing in his face.“No, you go first. I'll rest a bit in the meantime." He waved Jungkook off, his voice a little weak from the day's events.

Reluctantly, Jungkook grabbed his bathrobe and headed to the bathroom. As he submerged himself in the warm water,his thoughts began to drift back to the Omega he had seen earlier  in the day–the one whose face had left a lingering impression on his mind. The soft glow of his skin. Jungkook couldn’t stop thinking about him.

"Who are you?" Jungkook wondered, his eyes fixed on the water. "I wonder if I'll ever see you again... Will I ever get the chance to meet you? "

His thoughts swirled as he finished his bath. By the time he returned to their room, he was still preoccupied with the mysterious Omega, his heart filled with an odd curiosity. But when Jungkook opened the door and saw Jin asleep on the bed, his mind began to sift.

Jin looked so peaceful, lying there with his eyes closed, his features soft in the dim light of the room. Something stirred inside Jungkook as he watched him sleep–something dark and unwelcoming. He couldn’t stop the slow burn of desire that began to rise in him, the pull of touch Jin overwhelming him, in a way that made his heart race.

Jungkook's intentions started to deteriorate, his gaze shifting from one of affection to one of lust. He stepped closer to the bed, his eyes filled with an intense hunger. His mind grew clouded, the lines between right and wrong starting to blur.

Jin, still in light sleep, shivered slightly from the cool air, his body curling up as if trying to ward off the cold. The movement stirred him awake, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Jungkook standing over him, staring at him with a look he didn’t recognize.

Jin sat up, rubbing his eyes. "You're back. I'll go take a bath now," he said, trying to shake off the strange tension that suddenly filled the room.

But before Jin could leave, Jungkook blocked his way. He stepped closer to Jin, his expression intense, his presence suddenly overwhelming. Jin blinked in confusion, his heart starting to pound with unease.

"What are you doing? Let me go, it's getting late." Jin said,  his voice wavering as he tried to move past Jungkook.

But Jungkook didn’t budge. Instead, he reached out, brushing his fingers along Jin's cheek and trailing them down to his neck, sending a shiver down Jin's spine. His voice dropped to husky whisper.
