you can turn around now

foreign feeling of a voice speaking in his mind weirded out taehyung. he tilted his head, doubting he should just follow the voice and turn around or not- the voice sounded familier though.

something soft poked his shoulders before he could decide and he swiftly turned around, only to get startled by a moist muzzle in front, a yelp voiced out as he stumbled backward.

it's me talking through the link.

"jungkook?"

the creature nodded his head with its eyes glued to taehyung, who stared back at the pitch-dark wolf stood before him. he already knew jungkook was capable of reading minds but that he could connect minds and talk through the link was beyond his knowledge. taehyung raised his brows - amused by the fact but let's save the question for another time.

"wow"

that only came out as a mumble as he approached to caress the sleek black fur of the wolf which was about three times bigger than him by the size. he cautiously placed his hand on the space just above the muzzle and smiled when the wolf leaned into the touch, eyes closing slowly as both of them enjoyed the tingles coming from the contact.

just like jungkook's hair in human form, there're a few mahogany locks peeking out from majorly dark fur and indeed, it was breathtaking. "you're so beautiful." taehyung muttered while he continued to roam his hand around the ears, "and so big."

you think so?

a wolfy grinned appeared on its face, which looked like an mischievous grin, and taehyung flushed at that, questioning his fathe why he had to deal with this devil, plus his wolf as bonus.

how fucking fantastic

the wolf snotted out a laugh, making taehyung to step out of his trance and remembering that jeon fucking jungkook could always go in and out of his mind without a door, he cursed himself, sending a glare at the wolf but it turned into a laughter when the wolf tackled him down and nuzzled his chest.

sometimes, it kinda annoyed taehyung that jungkook was able to know whatever was in his head. but he knew for sure that jungkook wasn't the kind of man who would stick his nose in the business he didn't want him to, so yeah... he didn't really mind.

get on

retreating its body off taehyung, jungkook's wolf lowered down a bit, gesturing taehyung to get on its back. hesitantly, taehyung took a grip of soft fur and shakily positioned himself on top of jungkook. (that sounds so weird wtf)

hold on tight

taehyung let out a small sqeak when it got on all fours (i think i need holywater . . . nvm back to the story) and began to ran into the woods, leaving the slowly fading daylight as they entered into dark forest.

jungkook smiled upon hearing taehyung's giggles from behind, his heart in solace that taehyung was not freaking out of his wolf form and accepted him well. even when he did spill strange things, like him being a werewolf, taehyung didn't laugh it off or leave him. instead, he assured jungkook that he would always be there by his side no matter what happened and truthfully, jungkook was so thankful for that, to have taehyung as his mate and lover.

yet, the male was too perfect- fuck that. taehyung himself was the definition of perfect ; beautiful, charming, smart, understanding, dearing and all the praise words you could find suited him. he was so damn precious. hell, he was a demigod for fuck sake.

however, in contrast, jungkook was a werewolf- right, a pureblood. but then again, he had nothing to be proud of. his whole existance was pure peril to people around him or he, himself, would probably harm those whom he loved if he got his wolf out of control.

the things he did were not good examples either. his hands were stained with blood- blood of all creatures; criminal or innocent, human or not- he just slaughtered them all. maybe yes, they weren't all happened of his own will but there's nothing he could do to erase those mistakes (more like temper tantrum) and all he could do was just accept himself, that he was just an evil disguised in a young boy embodiment.

do i even deserve this angel?

he spoke to his wolf as they watched taehyung played with water from the lake, which was formed by the decent-sized waterfall above, and backed up with a tiny yelp 'cause of the coldness of the water.

the wolf only sneezed in response and jungkook chuckled, the eyes never leaving taehyung who looked too engrossed in the colorful group of fishes swimming in crystal clear water. the sky was getting darker and he could feel the chill as the air got colder.

we should get back now.

his wolf obediently stood up and walked towards taehyung and nudged taehyung on the shoulder qith its snout, trying to get taehyung's attention which he got at once.

"jungkook! look! there's a snake! it looks like the one printed on my gucci bag." he said, pointing at the slender reptile coiling at the bottom. jungkook would burst out loud if he was in human form, thus, his wolf just let out a sigh and continued to annoy taehyung who found it entertaining and giggled as he dodged the wolf's attempt to get him on its back but it tensed when an unsual scent hit his sense of smell.

it wasn't like a mere rogue scent or something familier but the smell itself was screaming danger and he could feel the malignant aura in it. it isn't safe for taehyung. panicked, jungkook immediately voiced through the link.

taehyung, hurry get on the back. we need to go. NOW.

startled of jungkook's sudden change, taehyung hastily got onto the wolf's back as they hurried back to the cliff to pick jungkook's clothes and the wolf scurried back to the car.

"fasten your seatbelt." jungkook said as soon as he finished putting on his clothes and got into the car, while changing the gear. and taehyung obeyed, questioning jungkook after since he was clueless about what the heck was going on. "what's wrong, kook?"

but jungkook didn't answer as he focused on the road, freaking out taehyung. however, the dark aura lessened as they got further from the forest and he sighed, relieved that he could bring taehyung out of the place before anything would happen.

"just sensed something odd. nothing to worry about." relaxed, taehyung flopped himself on the seat, eyeing jungkook's face as his eyelids started to drop slowly, starting to doze off.

and jungkook saw it. being a hopless whipped man, he smiled with his orbs filled with fondness at the sight before he turned his head back to the front.

rest well, love.
