4 ✧ The Dinner that Cut the Cord.

Chapter 4

≿————-　❈　————-≾

It's been months since your last encounter with Jungkook. The idiot even passed his job as your armor to Jimin, and Jimin had no choice but to accept.

3 months. In those three months, there wasn't a day that would go by smoothly. With Zoe's depressed state, your hectic schedules, your lack of parental engagement; you were wondering how you could still keep sane.

If it wasn't for Jimin, you wouldn't have survived after all this commotion.

What even started this?

≪

Dinner.

Everyone was quiet. It wasn't always like that. The Jeons and Lees would have vibrant conversations, you and Jungkook would conduct your daily childish mockery.

So, what happened?

"We're sorry, Jungkook," his mother muttered. Her long lashes were left to see as her eyes focused down her lap.

This scene was nearly unthinkable. Just imagine someone telling you a few days earlier, "Soon, you'd have a depressing dinner with your bestfriend's family," you never would've believed them.

Now that it's actually happening, you had to pinch yourself to believe it.

"Why did you tell us now?" Jungkook masked his growing fury. Oh he's mad. He's mad that this is how his life turned out to be. He was mad that you became friends just for the precious friendship to be broken this way.

"The Cosmics need your child. Your own child, your offspring. Both of you... together." Your mother's words rang in your head. Neither were you in favor of what came out of her mouth.

"This had been written in the stars. It's for the best of everyone. Or... my daughter's life will be of exchange." That's what she said before the heavy atmosphere invited itself in the room.

They expected you to express a worse and violent reaction, but you remained silent while the words conquered your mind and stabbed into your heart.

You had to make a child with Jungkook— and the curse shall be broken.

The curse that still lived up to this day. The curse that was brought to life in order to sweep away the sanity of the remaining Cosmics.

This made clear, that you and Jungkook were born to have a significantly special task. That is to help your fellow Cosmics.

There are other Cosmics?

The Cosmics occupied two different groups that only existed since the curse came forth.

Regal Aristocrats & Hex Pawns

Before you had the chance to speak, your father took a step ahead of you. "It is more than a demand given to us. It's a responsibility that none of us may refuse. We are, after all— the Regal Aristocrats," he took a swift glance at you. "We must put an end to the rivalry between the Regals and the Hex Pawns. After all, we belonged to the same kingdoms."
