Whispers Of The Cursed [TaeJin, JiKook]

"Are You Sure?..."

In the peaceful Taehyung and Jin's bedroom, Taehyung sat on the bed, casually scrolling through the latest news about Jin's upcoming election. His face held a proud, supportive smile as he read the updates, admiring the progress Jin was making. Just then, there was a gentle knock, and Jimin stepped into the room, looking somewhat nervous.

"Can I talk to you for a while?" Jimin asked, his voice soft but serious.

Taehyung looked up, nodding. “Hmmm…”

Jimin took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. "I’m thinking of talking to Grandma tomorrow… and relinquishing my duties as a shaman."

Taehyung’s eyebrows raised in surprise. “But why?”

Jimin hesitated, glancing down for a moment. “If I remain a shaman, I won’t be able to progress in this relationship with Jungkook… at least not as a normal omega.”

Taehyung’s face softened with understanding. “Hmm… Alright. I think you’re right. Besides, now that there’s no curse anymore, I can focus on fulfilling Jin’s expectations and spend my life with him peacefully. I’ll focus on my work without any worries.”

A quiet resolve filled Jimin’s face. “Tomorrow, we’ll talk to Grandma and perform the ritual to renounce the shaman duties.”

Taehyung nodded, giving him a supportive smile. “Okay…”

Meanwhile, at a bar near the hotel, Jin and Jungkook sat across from each other in a secluded corner, nursing their drinks in silence. Jungkook looked up, his eyes reflecting a mix of worry and confusion. He hesitated, searching for the right words before finally asking, "Are you sure… this is my baby?" His voice was barely a whisper, heavy with vulnerability.

Jin nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on his drink. “I checked the dates… It happened when we were together. Since then, I’ve been…” His voice broke off, trembling with emotion, and he fell silent.

They sat there, the silence stretching between them as they looked at each other, both lost in a mix of emotions. Jin averted his gaze, taking a long sip of his drink, while Jungkook ran a hand through his hair, sighing deeply.

After a moment, Jungkook reached across the table, placing his hand over Jin’s in a gentle, comforting gesture. “First, let’s go to a doctor and confirm everything,” he said softly. “After that, we’ll figure out what to do together. You don’t have to face this alone.”

Jin nodded silently, feeling a small sense of relief at Jungkook’s support. They both finished their drinks, a mutual understanding lingering between them, before heading back to the Kim Mansion together in the same car.

As they entered the Kim Mansion, Jin and Jungkook wore somber expressions, lost in their thoughts. The family was gathered in the living room, chatting happily. Jimin, noticing Jungkook’s arrival, offered him a warm smile, but Jungkook barely responded, his mind elsewhere.

Taehyung, noticing Jin’s tense expression, walked over to him, concern evident in his voice. “Jin, what’s wrong? Are you drunk?. Is everything okay?”

Jin forced a slight nod. “Yeah, I’m just a bit tired,” he replied softly, attempting to reassure Taehyung, though the worry in his eyes was hard to hide.

Taehyung’s concern lingered, but he nodded, letting Jin excuse himself to go freshen up.

Jungkook also retreated to his room, seeking solace in a hot shower. As he stood under the warm water, he let his mind drift back to the evening’s revelations, feeling the weight of everything that had happened settle heavily on his shoulders.

Later, at the dining hall, the family gathered for dinner, sharing laughter and stories as they enjoyed their meal. Only Jungkook and Jin remained quiet, lost in their own thoughts. Jin finished quickly, excusing himself and retreating to his room, mentioning he needed to rest. Jungkook lingered a bit longer before he too left, his thoughts still clouded.

In his room, Jungkook poured himself a glass of alcohol, standing by the window as he gazed out at the night sky, trying to process everything. Suddenly, he felt a pair of arms wrap around him from behind—Jimin’s warm embrace.

But instead of feeling comforted, a wave of frustration washed over Jungkook. “Jimin… not now.” His voice was heavy, strained.

Jimin loosened his grip slightly but didn’t let go entirely. “What’s wrong, Alpha?”

Jungkook sighed deeply, his gaze still fixed outside. “It’s complicated, Jimin. There’s… something…” He trailed off, struggling to find the words.

Just then, a soft knock at the door interrupted them. A maid entered and addressed Jimin. “Excuse me, Jimin Sir, your grandmother has arrived.”

Jimin’s face lit up with excitement. Without waiting for Jungkook to continue, he hurried out to greet her. Jungkook watched him leave, a mix of emotions swirling inside him as he took a deep, steadying breath.

He followed Jimin to the living room, where the grandmother, a dignified woman with wise, gentle eyes, was seated. Taehyung stood respectfully beside her.

Jimin approached her with a warm smile. “Grandmother, it’s so good to see you!” he greeted happily.

The grandmother looked up, her eyes twinkling with affection. “My dear Jimin, it’s wonderful to see you too.”

Noticing Jungkook lingering at the entrance, she waved him over warmly. “Come, Son-in-law, don’t be shy. Join us.”

Jungkook hesitated but then walked over, standing beside Jimin as they exchanged smiles.

The family continued their happy conversations, sharing stories and laughter. One by one, they began to head to their rooms for the night.

Later, in Taehyung and Jin’s bedroom, Jin lay on his side, staring blankly at the ceiling, his mind weighed down by the evening’s events. Taehyung noticed the worry etched into Jin’s features and moved closer, placing a gentle hand on Jin’s thigh.

“Jin… what happened to you today?” Taehyung asked softly. “Ever since you came back from the office, you seem lost and worried.”

Jin turned his head away slightly, covering his face with his hand, remaining silent.

Taehyung lay down beside him, wrapping his arm around Jin’s waist in a comforting embrace. His hand moved in soothing circles, his gentle touch meant to ease Jin’s tension. Leaning closer, he placed soft kisses along Jin’s neck, his warmth offering a sense of calm.

“Jin…” he whispered, his voice full of love.

Jin responded with a soft “Hmmm…” as he relaxed slightly, feeling Taehyung’s affection envelop him.

Taehyung’s voice was gentle as he continued, “I love you so much…”

A small, bittersweet smile formed on Jin’s lips, comforted by Taehyung’s devotion, yet still feeling the turmoil within. As he lay there, he closed his eyes, letting Taehyung’s words and gentle presence soothe him, even as he grappled with the uncertainty of what lay ahead.
