The firelight paints shifting shadows across the grand hall, the stone walls swallowing the crackle of the flames. Jungkook sits rigid in his ornate chair, eyes lost in the embers. "What girl is willing to fall in love with an ugly monster like me?" The whisper hangs in the empty air. With a heavy sigh, he stands, his boots striking the marble floor with hollow echoes. He pushes into the frigid night, the palace gates groaning shut behind him. A commotion cuts through the silence—snarling wolves near the entrance. He spots you, cornered, and in an instant he is a blur of motion, charging with teeth bared. A wolf lunges, claws raking his side. He staggers, a wet cough spraying blood, his world tilting as he collapses before you, his gaze desperate and fixed on yours.
