Coven | BTS 🔞

32| Witching hour

"I can't believe I'm doing this," Alice whispered to herself, looking for a white dress in her closet.

When Megan had announced that they were going to celebrate the Sabbath with Jungkook and the rest of his coven, Alice had thought it was some kind of joke. It was very unlike Megan to accept such a proposition and Alice thought for a while that maybe Taehyung had compelled her into saying yes.

The truth is that in other circumstances, she would have been thrilled to celebrate with them. It was the perfect occasion to prove she wasn't the evil villain they wanted her to be. The only thing that made it so dreadful was that she was going to see him again.

Jungkook.

She had lost touch with him completely for a week now and it still hurt like it was the first day. She couldn't face him, even after a week because she was still very much angry that he had told his friends about her powers, but also because she was embarrassed by the things she had said to him.

I said that having sex with him didn't mean anything.

Of course, she didn't mean to say that. She was just so furious at that moment, that she had wanted to hurt him just like he had hurt her. It was such a selfish and egotistical move.

And how do you apologize for that?

"I'm sorry I hurt your feelings on purpose because of my own selfish reasons. I hope we can stay friends."

A great conversation starter.

Alice finally found the white dress she was looking for, squished in the back of her closet with her summer clothes. It was embroidered with white flower patterns and had lace sleeves. Putting in on, she looked at herself in the mirror. The dress was falling just above her knees and the round neckline showed off her collarbones.

She untied her hair, letting her brown curls cascade down her back.

I still look like a lost little girl.

Frustrated, she turned away from the mirror and left her bedroom with the intention of finding Megan. She was in the bathroom, applying a thick layer of mascara on her pale eyelashes. Her blond bob was held in place with shiny white pins, matching her strappy white dress.

She's pretty, thought Alice.

The white cotton dress was hugging her curves in all the right places and Megan certainly didn't look like a lost child.

"Who are you dressing up for? Taehyung? Namjoon?"

"I'm dressing up for myself," Megan answered, applying her eyeliner like a pro.

"It's almost 11, we should go," the brunette noticed, looking at her phone one last time.

The two girls finally left the apartment, all wrapped up in their thick winter coats. At this time of the year, it was freezing at night and they certainly didn't want to get cold in the middle of a forest. Still, Alice shivered in her dress when she walked outside, and she buried her hands in her pockets.

"Where are we going?" she asked Megan, as the two of them were getting in a taxi.

"Namsan botanical garden," Megan announced to the driver.

Great.

Megan had convinced her to come 'to form bonds within the magical community' and some other crap, but Alice was already regretting her decision.

It didn't take long before the two girls were out of the cab and walking on the path towards the entrance of the Namsan botanical garden where Namjoon had texted Megan they would meet. The night sky was covered in clouds, hiding the stars and the only hint of the full moon was a grey shadow against the darkness. The trees in the park had now completely lost their leaves and their tall figures, looking like crooked hands in the obscurity, seemed unwelcoming to Alice.
