Whispers Of The Cursed [TaeJin, JiKook]

"Get Used To Staying And Sleeping With Your Alpha."

The morning sunlight streamed through the windows of the Kim mansion as everyone gathered in the dining hall for breakfast. Jin sat quietly, still lost in the memories of the previous night. His thoughts wandered back to Taehyung’s bold actions, and his heart felt conflicted. He absentmindedly pushed his food around his plate, avoiding any eye contact with Taehyung, who sat a few seats away.

Across the table, Taehyung stole a few glances at Jin, his expression soft and warm. But Jin, feeling the weight of his gaze, kept his head down, too flustered to look back.

Jimin entered the dining hall and was about to take his seat when his eyes caught sight of Jungkook, who was walking in from the opposite side.

There was something different about the way Jimin looked at him today. His gaze lingered longer than usual, his heart betraying him with unfamiliar emotions. Jungkook, unaware of Jimin's inner turmoil, took the seat next to Hoseok and glanced over at Jin, who was sitting quietly across the table.

Jungkook's eyes darkened as he noticed Taehyung, who was discreetly watching Jin, a subtle smile playing on his lips. The sight of Taehyung looking at Jin stirred something deep inside Jungkook, anger bubbling beneath the surface. He clenched his fists under the table, grinding his teeth, but remained silent, unwilling to cause a scene.

"Seo, Jungkook," Namjoon began, looking at his siblings with a thoughtful expression. "I’m thinking of organizing a memorial ceremony for Mom and Dad tomorrow. It’s time we honored them properly, with all our family gathered together."

Seo nodded in agreement. "You're right, Namjoon. I’ll ask Rose to start the preparations. But what exactly needs to be done? We don’t know much about these things."

Namjoon smiled softly. "Talk to Grandma and Aunt Min. They’ll guide you through it. And make sure they’re invited for tomorrow."

"I will," Seo replied, making a mental note of it.

Turning his attention to Jimin, Namjoon added, "Jimin, you should stay with your brother during the ceremony."

Jimin, snapping out of his thoughts about Jungkook, nodded. "Of course, Namjoon sir, we’ll be there."
