Infinite Tsukuyomi (無限月読) //Taekook

Chapter: 21

"Jungkook, it’s again a simple task. Kill him."

**************

Donghae smirked, his voice sharp and commanding as he pick up a gleaming knife onto the ground.

Then Donghae extended the knife to Jungkook, his smirk cruel and calculating.

“Take it,”

he said, his voice laced with authority.

“This time, I’m not just testing your obedience, Jungkook I’m testing your ability. Show me how skilled you are with a weapon.”

He took a step closer, his piercing gaze boring into Jungkook’s blank expression.

“I don’t want this to be quick. I want it to be slow... painfully slow. Let me see how deep, how precise, how many cuts you can deliver. Make every slice count. Show me you’re not just capable you’re exceptional.”

Jungkook’s hand closed around the knife, his face devoid of hesitation, his movements mechanical. Yet, somewhere buried deep within, something stirred. But Donghae’s cold, commanding tone drowned it out. “Go on, Jungkook,” Donghae pressed.

“Prove to me that you’re ready for something far greater than this.”

Donghae leaned in, his eyes piercing.

“You’ve already killed with your hands. Now prove that it doesn’t matter what you use. Prove to me that your humanity is nothing more than a shell you can shatter whenever you need to. Or are you weaker than I thought?”

Donghae watched Jungkook intently as he approached the boy, knife in hand. Just as Jungkook raised the blade,

Donghae’s voice sliced through the silence like a blade. “Stop.”

Jungkook froze, the knife hovering in the air. His expression was blank, devoid of hesitation or emotion, but his movements stalled at Donghae’s command.

“What are you looking at, Jungkook?” Donghae’s voice was sharper now, laced with dominance that demanded obedience. He stepped closer, his presence suffocating.

“What is it you see in his eyes?”

Jungkook, without thinking, muttered, “Innocence.”

Donghae’s voice turned cold and sharp as he leaned closer to Jungkook, his words cutting through the air like a blade. “Innocence?” he repeated, almost mockingly.

“Is that what you think this is? Let me open your eyes to reality, Jungkook. Right now, this child seems harmless small, vulnerable, even pitiable. But don’t let that fool you.”

His gaze hardened, his tone growing darker.

“Children like him don’t stay harmless forever. That innocence you see now will harden into something far more dangerous. In twenty years, those same eyes you pity today will be filled with hatred hatred for you, for me, for everything we stand for. He’ll grow up remembering this moment, carrying it like a burning brand in his soul, and when the time comes, he won’t hesitate to act on it.”

Donghae  presence overwhelming.

“Do you understand, Jungkook? That small, pitiful child will become a thorn in your path, a threat to everything you’ve built. His revenge will be his strength, his drive, his purpose. And when that day comes, you’ll regret sparing him. We don’t wait for threats to grow we eliminate them at the root before they become unstoppable.”

His words were heavy, filled with dominance and unwavering certainty. “So, look at him again, Jungkook, but this time, see him for what he truly is not a child, but a future enemy. And ask yourself are you strong enough to stop him now?”
