⚠️Hidden Claws | Jimin's Story

Chapter 2.1

"Are you serious?!".

I walked back and forth outside of Jungkook's house. Namjoon had come to pick me up and to give me the official news.

"Yes, it appears that he left the village without letting anyone know".

Namjoon explained with his arms crossed and a worried frown over his face.

"I knew this would happen".

Taehyung mumbled as he sat on the ground. His head was supported by his hands while his elbows stood over his knees.

"But why?! Why would he just leave so suddenly?!".

I could feel my anger grow bigger, I hated this situation a lot more than I should be. I then felt Namjoon's stare but ignored it, nothing really mattered to me at this moment. Then I stopped, realizing the reason why Jungkook had disappeared. A deep frown formed over my face as I spoke.

"I know why he left. His parents-".

"His parents have nothing to do with this".

Namjoon cut me off, forcing me to meet his gaze. He seemed serious, he wasn't trying to calm me down so I decided to listen.

"I talked to them and there's much more to the story that we don't know".

He began shaking his head in a way of showing that he didn't like what he would share with us next.

"According to his mom, who was available for a conversation since his dad went furious and left the house, she told me there was a reason why his dad was treating him so strictly".

He began but stopped, gaining Taehyung's and my attention quickly.

"Just tell us already".

My patience ran shorter. Namjoon took this moment to exhale and continued.

"Apparently Jungkook shared his interest in humans with his parents".

"What do you mean 'interest in humans'?".

I took a step forward. It was quite hard for me to cope with this conversation, not liking humans being mentioned in this problem.

"I knew it".

Taehyung confessed quietly, a tear reaching his smiling lips. He was mentally devastated and really bad at hiding it.

"You knew what? Why is there so much I don't know of?!".

I yelled, facing the hateful truth. He was my friend too, after all. There shouldn't be secrets between us, yet there were facts I didn't know about him.

"Calm down, Jimin".

Namjoon placed his right hand over my shoulder. I turned my head to look at him before I replied.

"Talk then".

Namjoon sighed and nodded his head, looking at the ground as he removed his hand from my shoulder and began.

"His mother told me Jungkoom believes that interacting with humans could help us improve our standards. Such as better equipment and reachable sources of medical support-".

"But since he's an alpha, his duty is to lead a wolf pack and not get in touch with humans. If he breaks the law, his punishment will be worse because he will fall in the hands of the humans".

Taehyung exhaled deeply. There was a short silence before I could comprehend the situation and asked.

"So all these lessons and strict rules were to prove him that humans weren't needed?".
