White.
The only complexion I see, Coloring every spaces. The color surrounding me in circles, having no ends and edges whatsoever. Hollow, empty were the only things I felt. With Heavy lidded eyes— Forcing myself to open my sight into the unknown stood upon me. A small light emerges right in front of me.
Leisurely, I had to adapt my senses into it. Tilting my head sideways as a grimace expression drawn over my face, clearly not liking the penetrating light. Following my instinct, I raise my hand in front of my face in hope of reducing the radiance of it.
Where did this light came from-
"Hello, dear."
Tensed, I jolted in surprise hearing such an odd familiarity in the female voice. The wooden chair I was seated on, subtly shakes from the impact. It was oddly vague though. Looking around the empty white room, I couldn't really decipher the source of the voice.
Looking at the only source of light there is, I furrowed my eyebrows when an animal figure walk through it.
It was A wolf.
Not too massive as the wolves I had encountered before and not too small for a normal wolf. It was furry, sharp nails peeked through the neat furs. The color of its whole being was white, the exact same tone as the room is. The eyes though— it was so beautiful, I couldn't think of a single word to accompany it. Perhaps, ethereal? Heck, That's not even enough.
Globes of its eyes shines brightly green, pointed. Reminding me of one of the infamous stones on earth, emerald stone. The wolf calmly sits down right in front of me, its eyes darting straight into my soul.
I look at it confused, not knowing the situation I was stuck into. Why was there a wolf in here? Even worse, Why am I—all of a sudden—here? Where's Jungkook..? Mr. Kim? Injection? I-
"Now now, don't think too far or you could actually break this spell that has been cast on you." Hearing the echoing voice one more time finally manages on waking up my senses, I soon came to realization.
The voice that had been calling for my name, several times before. As it grew more often, I realize the voice had been calling me every single time I was bound to meet someone particular.
Jeon Jungkook.
"Who are you..?" I found myself asking, despite the growing nervousness hiding inside me.
"I'm the one who has been signaling you, dear, I'm sure an intellectual human like you would be quick to notice. Or am I wrong?" The voice softly answered, a teasing tone at the end of it.
"I don't know, you think. Where are you? Why aren't you showing yourself?" I asked back, gulping my drying throat.
"Very well, I'm right in front of you."
My eyes that were too busy concentrating the empty room I was in, all of the sudden stops unexpectedly. Processing all of the words the voice had said. Biting my lips out of habit, I linger my eyes back to the creature right in front of me.
The wolf?
"Are you scared, Y/N?" As the voice speaks again, the wolf turns its attention from licking its paws to completely eyeing my seated form. Uncertain, I gulped my throat again, eyeing back the wolf as I reply, "No, why would I?"
"Marvelous, Just what I wanted to hear" The voice rang loudly this time, a pleased hum following right behind.
"Then, Let me ask you a simple question, dear. In this journey that shall be in your path— would you choose to believe or ignore?"
A minute passed, my eyes were still attached to the atrocious emerald eyes. It was as if the wolf's expression was challenging me, how it has the most calmest posture as it lay there. Mind still blank, comprehending the mysterious question.
"What do you mean-"
"Choose wisely, Y/N. Time's ticking. So, Believe or not?"
"I choose to...believe" I answered, leaving a deep huff of breath afterward.
My answer though, it seems to ruin the whole situation. Everything surrounding me seems to shattered slowly, menacingly. The white color ripping off from the wall. Truly, All I could sense was how the wolf stands up from its position, how the voice started to quivers shakily, and how the seat I was on started to tremble viscously under my hold.
"I'll help you remember, Good luck Y/N."
____
"Y/N?"
"Princess?"
"Y/N."
"Princess smells so good, hm?"
"Y/N, wake up."
"Alpha likes it."
"Y/N, hey!!!"
"Ah!"
Jumping from the depth of your dreams, you were forced to open your eyes from the hands that were shaking your body tremendously. The hands were still there as you look around, noticing the unfamiliarity between the interiors of the room.
It wasn't the white room, nor was it your room. You were engulfed warmly right underneath dotted patters of one's blanket. Tucked right on this unfamiliar bed.
"Y/N..? Hey, look at me." Soft hand retreating back from the space when it gripped you, your eyes followed the action. Quickly finding a sudden relief after seeing the familiar eyes. It was Lizzy, your friend.
"...Liz? W-what? Where am i..? no- wait, where's Jungkook? h-he was hurt a-and I-" Not even giving a chance to finish your sentence, Lizzy tilted your chin, forcing you to look at her eye to eye. Your chin held between her small fingers and she sends you a small reassuring smile. "Now now, that was all a dream okay? You're safe now, no need to worry. You're in my room. Your head must have hurt from the fall."
"The fall?" you asked hesitantly, feeling confusion all over your senses. Soon enough, you weren't stupid to not notice the big patch right behind your ankle.
Just like last night.
"Yup, you fell pretty badly yesterday. Right in front of my porch, which btw confuses me why didn't you just shout out help, you know? I could have gotten there sooner." She explained, tilting your head sideways to examine any further wounds.
You look at her perplexed, confused, and surely alarmed. Feeling pretty sure of yourself that, that was not what had happened. Did that really happen? If so, then why would there be a massive wound latching right onto your ankle like it had been wounded pretty deeply?
Oh no, don't think wrongly, you're sure that wound could actually explain the fall but the thing is, you knew Liz's porch and her whole front yard was too clean and too neat, to even have anything that had the possibility of you stumbling over and made a big scar out of yourself.
Unless, you're really that reckless.
Besides, you do remember.
You remember everything vividly. It was like a distant memory, lingering there so openly right underneath your senses. Like it had just been buried by the back of your mind. For whatever happened last night was the only thing you could possibly be thinking of.
Moreover, how could one forget something as magical and jaws-dropping as last night?
Particularly, forgetting those golden eyes, those raven shriveled hair- God, just the thought of forgetting those things frightens you out. You could almost still feel his everlasting touch between your small fingers.
Remembering very clearly how the warmth and the gentle caress of his hands holding yours, as it intertwined. How there was a sense of comfort within you as he holds you there, near his heartbeat. The endearment in his tone as he calls you-
"Y/N? Hey hey, you okay?"
"..oh, yeah." You answered, coughing your dry throat as you try to clear your hazy mind.
"Here, drink this." A glass of water was placed right in front of your chapped lips. Thanking your friend, you decided it was probably the best choice for you to drink your thoughts away. So you did, gulping every bit of the water. Feeling relief as it rushes down your throat.
"Hey Liz?" you put the empty glass on top of her nightstand, besides the bed you were on.
"Yes babe? Anything I could help you with?" She answered, looking right at your eyes brightly. Though, you couldn't help but to notice her nervous gesture quite plainly.
"How did you find me?" you asked hesitantly. She grabs a clean cotton, damped it lightly with water and started to rub it against the side of your temple.
"Um- well, I was actually taking out the trash when I notice your body was just laying there on the ground. Your head was bleeding a little bit but I got that covered and I was confused-"
"Liz, I know."
You cut her off, interrupting her action as you look straight at her. She widens her eyes momentarily, you swear you could almost miss it, if you hadn't been watching her tentatively. Your eyes begging for the truth to be spoken yet she just lowers her gaze and proceeds to grab another cotton.
"I don't know what you're talking about-"
"Liz, don't lie to me. I know the truth, I remember what happened last night. I even know what that word means, is your position in the pack, correct?" You urged her even more, motioning your head at the word on her wrist.
She parted her lips in shock as she looks back at you. Her eyes widened shortly, this time it stays that way. Her expression was not containable anymore after you left her stunned with your words. You send her a small smile, stopping her wrist from healing your imaginary wound any further.
"B-but how? ...Namjoon said you were safe, he injected you, for luna's sake. You wouldn't remember a thing Y/N. Heck, you shouldn't. This is bad oh my god- No, no this is bad." Unconsciously, she started to ramble. Her hands gesturing indescribable things in the open air.
"Hey hey, Liz- slow down why would it be bad?" You asked back, straightening your sitting posture on the bed.
"Y/N, can't you see? This is a dangerous game you're playing. You weren't supposed to know that werewolves exist, you were supposed to live like a normal villager would do. So, in that case, you'll be safe. But now-" She exclaimed, her hands trembling as she stood up abruptly from her seat.
Your hands immediately reach up to her wrist, preventing her from moving any further.
"Well I'm not normal now am I? Look, Liz, There's no point in you doing this. I'm not regretting the fact that I've seen a human transforming into a wolf right in front of me and if my safety is what you worried about, then stop, please. I'm perfectly safe, see?"
"Safe?? Y/N! Look at your leg, is that what you call fucking safe? Y/N, God! you don't know what you're running into by remembering about last night." She shouted, her hands were still shaking subtly.
"Okay, then explain to me."
"W-what?"
"Explain to me what I'm running into, it's bound to happen Liz. You can't change my mind."
"Y/N, please. I don't want to lose another friend." She slumped her body back onto the seat, her hands clutching tightly onto yours. Immediately, You noticed the change of shade within her calming eyes. "You won't Liz, please. Explain to me so I'd know."
After a whole two minutes of silence surrounding the room, she finally darted her eyes back to you, nodding subtly.
"...Fine, what do you want to know?" She sighed, trying to hold back her frown at her lips.
"Anything, please. I want to know about this whole thing. Like, how on earth did Jeon Jungkook transform into a wolf, a-and how did Namjoon find me? No- wait don't tell me he's a wolf too? I- Liz, there's just too many things I'm confused at."
"Okay okay, I'll answer it one by one." She faintly smiled, her thumb caressing softly against your knuckles. Following by the atmosphere in the room turning lightly.
"..Werewolves, I assume, you already know what it is, right?" You nod slowly. "Well, to be more clear, we're creatures of the moonlight. We follow the moon, bow down to the moon, and obey our primal instinct. Transforming from a human body to a wolf is also one of the instincts, blessed by the goddess of the moon. We're basically like a human that acts like a dog and turns into one. A big one." you couldn't help but to giggle at her weird choice of words.
Not that she's wrong though,
"We only live based on our primal instincts to either hunt, kill, or mate. That's why—As you said—we do have 'packs'. Our big family, where we protect each other. So yes Y/N, there are more of us in this world—not to mention, in this town as well. There's a total of four packs in this world, The East, The West, The North—which btw is my pack— and lastly, this town. The South Pack." She explained further.
"Jungkook, Namjoon and a bunch of people who lives here are from the Southern Pack. And yes, that answers your question, Namjoon is a werewolf."
"Mr.Kim? Our fucking lecturer? is a werewolf? Wow, that's it, I'm not trusting any more human." Laughing out loud, Liz lets her head falls back. "To be honest, I wouldn't if I were you." She replied, a smile still visible on her face.
"That's the basic, is there anything else..?"
"I- uh, So- ugh how do I ask this."
"Y/N just ask,"
"What about Jungkook?" you asked lowly, hesitant lingering under your tone. You almost feel regret asking after seeing the frown on Liz's lips.
"What about him?" She asked back.
"I- I mean, I'm just confused as to why there are so many warnings of him being dangerous or whatever it is. Why? Is it because of the fact that he's a creature with canines? Because if that's the reason, then shouldn't there be a warning for Namjoon as well? a-and you?" You rambled out loud, hands gesturing invisible patterns in the air with frustration.
"Y/N... There is a reason." Liz complies, her hands retreating back to her lap as she fiddles with her shirt. "What is it? Tell me, " you replied, your eyes never leaving her face to see any changes of expression.
"He...He's quite different from us, Y/N. Jungkook and his Alpha wolf share this ferocious side, very very primitive, might I add. Almost as if he doesn't have any sense of humanity within that stupid yellow eyes of his. He loathes human." Liz explained, her lips pursed.
"It's golden, Liz."
"That's besides the point-" Liz argued, a soft smile appearing on your face. Though, you couldn't help but feel the weight of her words.
He hates human..?
Minutes of thoughtful silence filled the room, shutting all of the soft bird noises from outside with your wandering mind as it recalls every second that happened last night. Then, all of a sudden, Liz looks up at you. Her eyes softly gleam, tears threatening to fall.
"Y/N, Why did you think the forest is forbidden?" She asked, unsure.
"..I don't know, why?"
"He killed a human there, ripping their heads off. Their bones being forced out of their bodies, their blood splattering towards all sides, their body trembles tremendously. Y/N, he won't hesitate to hurt you."
You were too shocked.
As if the world was giving Liz a response to that statement, a loud knock resonates throughout the room. The wooden door being the only possible source, you turn your attention to it. Liz as well, as she replies "Come in,"
Shortly after, the door creeks open as a young man, perhaps not much older than you and Lizzy's age, walks in. The door still being open, showing a bit of light coming from outside the room, perfectly outlines his figure. You look up at his face, oddly seeing his eyes were already looking straight at you.
There was something very weird about this guy, and yes you meant it in a bad way. You couldn't quite catch it why, or how you felt that tingling alarming sense. Perhaps, you noticed how the light air that was surrounding the room suddenly thickens, and how he acts very stiff when he first walks in.
You don't know, but what you do know is that this time, you felt the need to run away from a person's gaze.
"Lizzy, I'm afraid your friend's relatives have arrived. Would you like me to hold them back for a bit?" The man asked, his voice thick.
"If you could, that would be nice, thank you brother. We'll be out in a bit." Your friend replied, shooing the stranger away with a flick of her waving hands. Shooting a short nod as a reply, the person starts to walk outside. What makes it even more strange about this person was, how he still holds his gaze with yours right before he shuts the door.
"I'm going crazy now, am I?"
"We're all are, Y/N"
