"Okay, hear me out," Moon said, licking ketchup off her finger. "What if soulmates aren't people-but snacks? Like, what if my soulmate is literally fries with extra cheese?"
Ainni snorted, sipping her cold brew. "That would explain a lot, actually."
Shine giggled. "Honestly? I'd believe that. You talk more sweetly to food than anyone I've dated."
Moon gasped. "Exactly! Food never breaks your heart. It just gives you cholesterol."
Ainni shook her head, pretending to be annoyed. "And this, right here, is why I have trust issues."
Shine leaned back, smiling at them. "I don't care. I love you both. This-this is peace."
A moment of silence settled. The world felt far away.
Ainni glanced at Moon's messy bun and Shine's soft eyes. She didn't say it, but she thought it-if peace had faces, it'd be theirs.
Few months later ________
Ainni didn't flinch. Didn't yell. She simply looked at Shine, her voice steady, almost too steady. "All men are the same." The way she said it-it didn't feel like opinion. It felt like a wound turned to stone.
Shine's lips parted, unsure whether to ask or stay quiet.
Moon, ever the soft one, tried to lighten the air. "But... maybe we should at least listen to him once?" Her voice was small, hopeful.
Ainni's head snapped toward her. "Of course you'd say that," she snapped, sharp as glass. "That's why you get hurt."
Moon's face fell. Just like that, the warmth drained. She quietly stood, eyes glossy, and walked away without a word.
Shine watched her leave, jaw clenched. "You didn't have to be cruel."
Ainni shrugged, bitterness simmering. "Someone needs to say it. They're all the same. Liars in different skins."
But this time, Shine had enough.
"Enough!" she shouted, voice cracking. "Stop dragging me into your bitterness. If you want to hate the world, do it alone."
And just like that, silence swallowed them. Not peaceful-shattering.

Is it too late to say Sorry?
"The fuck you are leaving me." His roar cracked through the hall like lightning. Ara didn't blink. She stood there, calm as death, done to her core. No tears. No tremble. Just a weary exhale as she turned her back on him - the one thing he never thought she'd do. Before she could take a step, his hand shot out, gripping her arm like he was holding on to life itself. "Where are you going, Ara!" His command shook the pack. But she wasn't his to command. Not anymore. Ara ripped her arm free with a force that made even his wolf recoil. "Don't. Touch. Me." Her aura slammed into him, cold and merciless. "You think I'll stand here and watch you mate and breed her?" she hissed, every word a dagger. His throat bobbed. "She meant nothing." She laughed - sharp, broken, brutal. "Yeah? That's why you were fucking her in your office? Couldn't even hide the scent of your betrayal." "Ara, it was a mistake-" She stepped closer, eyes blazing. "Your mistakes come in episodes, Alpha. Season one, season two, season three. You don't make mistakes. You make choices." He swallowed hard. "I don't need her. I need you." "Lies," she spat. "Every damn sentence you breathe is a lie. I can't even look at you without feeling sick." He flinched like her words physically hit him. "That female behind you?" she pointed, not bothering to glance. "Perfect for you. Go mark her. Breed her. Hell, fuck her for all I care." Her voice cracked - but she kept going, blade steady even when bleeding. "I don't need you. Not anymore." His knees crashed to the floor. The mighty Alpha. On the ground. For her. "Ara... I'm sorry. I'm really fucking sorry." His voice broke like he finally understood what loss tasted like. She stared at him with a sad, devastating smile. "Isn't it too late for that, Mate?" One tear escaped - and she crushed it away with her thumb. Then she turned. Walked. Didn't look back. But he didn't chase her. Because he knew. He didn't just lose her. He wrecked her.Complete

《A Jeon Jungkook SOULMATE AU》 ||SHORT STORY|| "I had a firm belief since childhood that I'll hear ringing bells when I'll meet my soulmate." He told me still looking towards the beautiful blue sky infront of us. "You believe in soulmates?" I asked him ,my eyes not leaving his beautiful face. His eyes were enjoying the beauty of sky and mine were enjoying his beauty. He nodded his head in approval. Another question popped in my mind and I put it into words," So did you heard them for anyone yet?" He hummed in response and closed his eyes. He felt the chilly breeze hit his skin. I felt anxiousness creeping into my guts as I asked him," For whom?" He turned his head in my direction and a small smile crept over his lips. His eyes were filled with emotions that I was unable to decipher. They shone brightly due to the sunlight. I wasn't anticipating the next word that left his mouth "YOU!"

His Favourite War
My palm cracked against his cheek before I even realised I'd raised it. He froze, then smiled-slow, cruel, like he saw something ugly inside me I tried so hard to hide. And then his hand shot up, fingers sliding into my hair.... enough to make me meet his eyes. Enough to remind me how easily he could close the distance between anger and something darker. "You think this makes you brave?" "No," I said. "It makes me done being scared." "Do that again," his breath touch my cheek, "and I'll make sure you never forget how I'll ruin you." I laughed breathlessly. "You already did. You've been ruining me since the day I stepped into this place." He smirked. "If that's what you call ruined, Sunshine, you haven't seen anything yet." "Obsessed. Psychotic. You can't stand not being in control, can you?" He leaned in, voice cutting. "Control? No. I just hate losing. And I hate you more than anyone I've ever met." "Leave me alone... demon," I managed, "stay out of my life." hating the tremor in my tone. He stared at me. "Demons never let go of their prey." his thumb brushes on my lower lip. "Until you do what I say." He stepped back and took off his jacket and held the jacket out between us. "You want me to leave you alone?" He said slowly like a challenge disguised as mercy. I crossed my arms. "What are you doing?" "Making it official." "Official?" He stepped closer, so close I could feel the faint heat still clinging to the leather. "You'll wear this," his grey eyes locked on mine. "You'll wear my jacket. Every time you feel it, every time someone looks at you, you'll remember who made you take it. You'll remember me and I'll stay away." For a heartbeat, I stared at him, hated him for how much I understood his madness. How he twists me, questioning my own sanity, using every crack in me as a weapon. Would Elara choose peace over him? Tale of vengeance, obsession and defiance. Dark academia aesthetic. Morally heroes, slow-burning romance. Enemies-to-lovers.
