TAEKOOK. Kim Taehyung is a male omega whose beauty is unmatched, but that does not stop his fated mate from rejecting him when they come of age to recognize each other. The reason is that Taehyung carries the mark of a barren tree, which signifies i...
The next day, Namjoon and Jin visited Taehyung and Jungkook in their cottage. Namjoon wanted to make sure that Jungkook could still fight in the next match. He knew that Jungkook had been injured in his fight with Alpha Insu and was worried that the younger man hadn't fully healed yet. Namjoon hadn't seen the fight himself as he had left with Jin after his own match, but the whispers had painted a brutal picture: Jungkook, wounded and bruised, wrestling with a significantly larger and more experienced Insu who shifted into his wolf form during the fight.
Taehyung answered the door, his usual bright smile slightly subdued. "Namjoon-hyung, Jin-hyung," he greeted, stepping aside to let them enter. The cottage was warm and inviting, filled with the scent of lotus flowers and brewed coffee. Sunlight streamed through the window, painting dancing patterns on the smooth wooden floor.
Namjoon's eyes immediately sought out Jungkook, and he stopped dead in his tracks. He'd expected to find the younger man limping, covered in bandages, perhaps even confined to bed. Instead, Jungkook was sitting on the couch, a cup of coffee in his hand, looking completely unscathed.
"Wow!" Namjoon exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief. "Your wounds and bruises are completely gone. How did you do it without your wolf?" He gestured vaguely, his baffled expression mirroring Jin's. "Yesterday, you were... well, they said you looked like you'd gone ten rounds with Cerberus. (the three-headed hound pet of Hades guarding the underworld) Now, you look like you've just woken up from a peaceful nap."
Jin stepped forward, his brow furrowed. He examined Jungkook closely, tilting his head and peering at his face. "There's not even a faint scar," he murmured, more to himself than anyone else. "This is incredible. I've never seen anything like it."

Jungkook looked up, a subtle smile gracing his lips. "Selene gave us the cure to heal my injuries quickly," he replied, his voice soft.
"Selene?" Namjoon echoed, his brow furrowed. "Oh, so the Moon Goddess finally intervened. That's good."
"Yeah, Namjoon hyung. I guess Selene can't refuse Luna. She was the one who asked her for achillea -the plant that cured Jungkook," Taehyung chimed in.
"We have to grow that miracle plant here in Obsidian. It will help the pack a lot," Jin suggested. He turned to Taehyung and Jungkook, his face serious. "Do you know where this achillea grows? Can we obtain some seeds or cuttings?"
"I don't know where Selene got it from. The plant just magically appeared here in the living room. I don't think the Moon Goddess will allow us to propagate achillea in Obsidian. Its healing power can be abused if it falls in the wrong hands," Taehyung said, his voice laced with a hint of regret. He understood Jin's reasoning, but he also knew the profound responsibility that came with such a gift.
The room fell silent for a moment, the weight of Taehyung's words settling in the air. Jin sighed, rubbing his temples. "That's probably true," he conceded. "We can't risk it. But it's a pity. Imagine a whole field of that plant... it could save so many lives."
