“You can run but you won’t ever be able to escape from me!” He said, his voice reverberating in Jungkook’s head as if he was shouting right next to him.
Yet Jungkook was running, no, he was trying to run away from him. He had no willing in trusting nor following him. Nevertheless, as if his opinion didn’t matter, he was chasing Jungkook, spelling a hex on him. Who even was he? He couldn’t be saying the truth. Jungkook refused to believe him.
“What in the world are you saying? All of it this is just pure nonsense!” Desperately yelled Jungkook.
“I don’t care what you believe or not. Once I’ll eat you, it won’t matter anymore!” The strange voice said and eventually came across Jungkook. Now that this concept was right in front of him, he was able to really see what he was dealing with. It wasn’t a human being, at all.
At first, it looked like a bear but it has eight spider-like legs. They were darker than a moonless night and as bushy as if he leaved in the coolest mountains. His torso and stomach owned to a grizzly but his head definitely was a Northern Bald Ibis’ one. His bloody eyes were popping right out of his head. Eventually, this ugly yet scary monster has six fox tails. They were white but not pure.
Jungkook couldn’t remember how he managed to arrive in this situation when an ugly Chimaera wanted to kill him. All he knew at this moment, was that he had to escape. Evidently, he won’t be able to fight him. Even more if Jungkook wanted to be alive after the confrontation.
Before Jungkook could do anything, the Chimaera was holding him in his paws, above his beak. That’s it. It was the end for Jungkook. He closed his doe-eyes and waited to be eaten. He waited but nothing happened. When he opened his eyes, he was still levitating but not in the Chimaera’s paws anymore. He was hold by something he couldn’t feel, as if he was flying. Did Jungkook did that?
“Don’t be overestimating yourself, you’ll be disappointed.” Said a new voice.
It was a man, with blue hair and purple eyes. Jungkook assumed he wasn’t human either.
“You’re right, I’m not.”
What? Was he able to read Jungkook’s mind? He wanted to ask the man but the Chimaera passed right underneath him and attacked the newcomer.
The blue-haired man caught fire? No. Fire came out of his hands and flew to the Chimaera, pushing it away from him. They started an impressive fight. If the man had Fire power, then the Chimaera had Ice power. His legs turned blue, almost white. But each of the Chimaera’s attacks seemed ineffective to Jungkook’s saviour.
Jungkook couldn’t help but be impressed by this man. He was quite badass while fighting the Chimaera. His appearance may be cold but he was pretty hot. His blue hair was stuck to his forehead, his eyes became more intense due to the action. He wasn’t that tall and even seemed a bit tiny in the first place but he was really powerful. He fought the Chimaera in a matter of minutes. When he was done, the handsome man looked at Jungkook. He gulped and couldn’t say anything. Slowly, Jungkook went down from the air.
“Are you OK?” Asked the man.
“I… think so.” Managed to mumble Jungkook.
The man sighed and answered “Sleep.” Jungkook felt his eyelids falling and couldn’t help but pass out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jungkook recovered his consciousness. He looked around him, he was laying on a bed, in a bedroom he has never seen before. The room was basic: quite small, with only a bed, one closet and one night table. Was he at the hospital?
“No. You’re at my house.” Briefly said the man from before. He brought Jungkook a glass of water. He silently drank the water he offered him. He admittedly saved him and even took care of him but he hadn’t thanked him yet. He hadn’t told him his name either.
“Thank… you.” Jungkook said.
“No problem. You’re Jungkook, right?”
Jungkook was flabbergasted. First, a spider-bear-fox-bird attacked him, then a (literally) hot guy who can read his mind saved him. Wait, if he can read Jungkook’s mind, that means…
“You’re quite hot, too.” He joked. “I’m Yoongi.” He eventually revealed.
“How can you do that?”
“Reading your mind? It’s quite complicate to explain...” For the first time, Yoongi blushed and seemed cornered. He was so cute when he blushed that Jungkook wanted to put him in his pocket and never let him go.
“I have time.”
“OK… I’m a fire magician. The monster was an Ice demon. They eat humans to exist.”
If Jungkook hadn’t seen it with his eyes, he wouldn’t believe what Yoongi was telling him.
“Magicians and demons hate themselves since always. Magicians’ goal is to protect humanity while demons enjoy killing humans for fun. They are selfish, sadistic and greedy.” Yoongi, who has his head down until now, lift it in order to look Jungkook in the eyes. “And I hate when someone’s trying to steal what’s mine.”
Jungkook gulped. Yoongi was sometimes cute and sometimes hot but, right now, he was scary. One question remained in Jungkook’s mind but he couldn’t dear to ask it out loud. Yoongi nodded and waited few seconds before pursuing:
“I see, I see. You’re doing right to ask.” The fluffy Yoongi was back. “Demons and magicians have one common thread: they both need humans to subsist. Merely, one special human is enough for us. It’s our soulmate. Do you want to know how we know who’s the right person for us?”
Jungkook had a small idea.
“We can read their mind.” He looked again at Jungkook. “But, in exchange, once we met, if the human disappear, we die.’ Jungkook and Yoongi looked at each other for a moment. Yoongi didn’t said anything but his eyes begged Jungkook to stay. What should Jungkook do? If he ignores Yoongi, he would die. Moreover, he has enough power to protect him. He owned Yoongi his life…
“I’m so sorry… I shouldn’t ask you this… I’m not worthy...”
Jungkook couldn’t bear no more:
“Come just as you are to me, don’t need apologies… Know that you are all worthy.”
“I’ll take your bad days with your good, walk trough this storm I would. I'd do it because I love you.”
“I love you...” Jungkook completed.
Jungkook wasn’t really in love with Yoongi but he felt a certain pressure that obliged him to accept his soulmate’s feelings. Maybe it was pity, maybe not. Jungkook couldn’t figure. If only he kept in mind that Yoongi was a magician that could read his mind…
