Eternal Love

CHAPTER 7: 15 years old

"Jungkook! Please enter first!" Namjoon beamed with a soft blush on his cheeks.

"Thank you Joonie," Jungkook answered, gently patting his hair as he passed (though he had to go on his tippy toes do to so).

As Jungkook bent down to enter the tent, he admired how beautiful the inside was. The boys had already organized all the food and put some fairy lights that gave it a magical mood. While Jungkook was admiring the tent, the boys were admiring something else. They couldn't help but look at Jungkook's butt and a warm feeling in their stomach emerged.

"Are you guys coming in?" Jungkook stuck his head out and gave them a bright smile. Jimin gulped and tried to clear his thoughts. Don't think of Jungkook's butt. His squishy... soft looking... round... NO NO STOP

The boys, each in different stages of flustered, with Jimin being the most, went into the tent one by one and felt their breath being punched out of them at the sight. Jungkook was under the fairy-light, the lights reflecting in his eyes and all of it was so romantic that the boys needed to take a deep breathe to control their emotions.

"Come lay down! The stars look beautiful tonight," Jungkook softly ordered, laying down which made the boys quickly lay down to get closer to him. The lucky ones were Taehyung and Yoongi who were by his sides. They turned off the fairy lights and looked at the transparent ceiling of the tent that allowed them to watch the stars.

They spent a long time looking at the sky. Namjoon was gently explaining the different constellations after Jimin asked. Yoongi, however, couldn't stop looking at Jungkook who looked at the stars with such warmth and familiarity that the young vampire was almost jealous.

"Jungkookie?" Taehyung softly asked to which Jungkook merely answered by making a noise to let him know he was listening. "Can you tell us a secret about fairies?"

Namjoon went quiet at the question and all of the boys waited for Jungkook's answer. Fairies were extremely mysterious creatures and they had lost count of how many abilities Jungkook had. At times they wondered if Jungkook was really a fairy and not a deity.

"Fairies can stop being immortal," Jungkook said, his breathy voice blending with the atmosphere. The vampires' hearts froze at the admission.

"How?" Yoongi asked, his voice was full of emotions and his brothers understood why. Jungkook smiled at the sky and waited a few moments to finally answer.

"When fairies meet their soulmate, when they fall in love with the person who they share a piece of their soul with, they may turn mortal. If their soulmate is mortal, the fairy will become mortal as well. However, if their love is immortal, they remain immortal."

The boys felt their hearts speed up at the secret. They were always afraid of how it would work. They knew that Jungkook had lost so many loved ones and that it was probably extremely difficult. If the princes were to successfully court Jungkook, they would be forever full of guilt for the fact that Jungkook would need to watch them die. But this changes everything.

Everything had changed recently as well. The childish idolization they held for the fairy had evolved into something more and the teenagers knew that it was mature love. They noticed Jungkook's flaws and weaknesses but all of it made them love him more. He wasn't just this person who protected them, but the person who offered them advice and helped them when they felt insecure. He was relentlessly supportive and he gave so much more love than he received. But they wanted to change that. They wanted to show him just how much he is loved and how much they love him as a man and not as a powerful fairy.

"How can you still love so strongly after watching so many people you love pass away?" Namjoon whispered, breaking them from their musing. Taehyung felt Jungkook flinch slightly at the question and he quickly grabbed his hand to reassure him. He also pinched Namjoon's thigh as he was just beside him.

"Ow! Taehyun-" Namjoon's complaint was paused as he watched Taehyung and his brothers glare at him. "O-oh! Jungkook I'm so sorry! That question was out of line! You don-"

"To be honest," Jungkook started, gently cutting off Namjoon and offering him a fond smile since he knew that the vampire could sometimes lose his filter when he was curious, "I found my heart getting bigger and bigger as time went by and it actually became easier to love and care for people."

"You've loved so many people..." Jin stated in wonder. He could never fathom loving people if he knew that he would one day watch them die. Jungkook's strength and love were one of a kind.

As Jungkook gently fell asleep, he answered Jin's statement without truly thinking about what he was saying.

"I have loved so many people..." Jungkook agreed in a sleepy tone, his eyes drooping as the stars lulled him to sleep. In his sleepy daze, he didn't even register his next words, "I could probably even fall in love with multiple people," He admitted, his words getting quieter as it went and he fell asleep, ignorant to the effects his words had.

The vampires stayed silent, careful not to wake up Jungkook but they all held hands together, watching the stars and slowly falling asleep as well. As the stars got blurry and they closed their eyes, they all went into dreamland where they dreamed of a future where Jungkook was theirs.
