Jungkook paced back and forth in his room. The skin between the eyebrows creased and the fingers rubbed together as he thought of a way to go out today.

Not just his wolf going out- but he himself going out. Because of witches' spells, he can't cross the boundary. He has tried once when the demon got way too pissed off and rebelliously started running outside of the castle. But the spell was so strong that even the demon couldn't cross the lines and was injured severely.

The wounds were so deep that it took more than 2 minutes for the devil to heal them. At that time Jungkook wondered how witches are so strong that they can stop Jungkook from going out but can't remove a separate devil from him.

He is not that lucky maybe. But whatever, today his concern is to be able to go out in his wolf form, surprise Taehyung but shift into his human form again and confess his feelings too.

The rest of the part is easy, but going out is the hardest.

"Ok, Jungkook... There has to be something. Everything has weakness and so would the witches' spells. Come on think of it. Something which I might have read about... Ummm..." Jungkook kept snapping his fingers. Twisting his face weirdly as he thinks of something that can be weakened the magic and he would be easily able to go out.

"Ugh, it's like the answer is in my stomach but isn't able to come to my mind. It was some flowers... What it was? Love? Lobel? Lo- Lo- Lobelia flowers! Yes, DAMN THAT'S IT! Lobelia flowers. I am sure they will help me to easily get through that barricade!" Jungkook nodded his head, an expression of relief evident on his face. At least, he got some way to go out.

But now the question arises of where he can find these flowers?

...Wait...

He remembered something.

It was a fine Sunday morning, he was getting ready to go and meet Taehyung when only he heard the maids talking to each other.

"The Queen has asked to put Lobelia flowers in the vase in front of her room. Do that as soon as possible, ok?" She was the head maid.

"Yes, ma'am" and the other made a reply.

It was on Sunday and today is Tuesday and the themes of the flowers change every week so they might be In front of her mom's chamber only.

Jungkook grinned widely and then waited for some time till he stopped feeling any human presence around him, he stepped outside and slowly started going towards his mom's chamber.

Luckily he still remembers the way to his mother's chamber. Jungkook used to roam around freely when he was younger, he didn't know what problems he is causing to other people and neither did his parents stop him from doing so, nobody even expressed their displeasure for having him around. Therefore, he freely used to move here and there. Went to his mother's room or father's but when he grew up and realised how sad, gloomy and hurt people used to become because of his presence he stopped going around and locked himself inside.

He blocked out everyone and stopped communicating until it wasn't very urgent. This caused a great downfall in his relationship with his parents. Now for years, he hasn't put a step farther than the territories of his room. Didn't even have any proper conversation with either of his birth givers. Jungkook has almost forgotten what the castle looked like from the inside, how is it to talk to someone other than Taehyung.

So, now after years of going toward another part of the castle felt so odd. As if he is in someone else's house.

"I think I have to go right from here" he stood near the division and pointed at both left and right sides. Thankfully he hasn't encountered anyone till now otherwise the commotion that would arise is not something he wants to encounter anytime soon.

"Yes, it has to be right" nodding to himself he started walking right. Ducking his head at times to make sure no one has seen him yet.

"I should have reached by now I guess- Oh I think it is it!!!!" Jungkook grinned and hurriedly when towards the giant vase that had Lobelia flowers in them. Sighing in relief he plucked some and was going to leave but the conversation going inside his mom's chamber stopped him.

"Honey, We have to find the blessing as soon as possible. Jungkook's 25th birthday is going soon and I just don't want to risk anything" it was his mother's voice. Maybe the Queen and the King are inside.

"I know. I know, I am also trying my best to find out about it but for years when I couldn't find then how can I in just a few weeks? I think it doesn't even exist. We should stop searching and wait for the consequence. Also, he has been so quiet lately. I didn't hear any of his complaints then maybe it means the devil has gotten weak. We shouldn't worry in this case" a frustrated voice of Jungwoon was heard. Jaehee huffed in disappointment.

An argument was going on and it was clear to Jungkook. Though, the walls of the chambers of important people are soundproof then also Jungkook can hear everything especially if he is within 10 meters of the radius.

Now if you are wondering why nobody noticed his presence? Then it is because the people inside the castle have gotten used to the constant negativity and gloominess so an increase or decrease in the amount doesn't affect them much. So they usually couldn't figure out that Jungkook is nearby.

"What are you saying even, my king? Do you just want to leave the situation like this? The devil being silent is worst than him being mischievous. We don't know when it will outburst, or what it can cause. What if the devil is silent because he knows he has to takeover Jungkook's body soon? We don't know its next step, can't be lenient. I won't lose my precious son- won't let our kingdom be in trouble. We have to find the cure and that's it! The Bishop has said there is the pur-"

"What absurd are they even talking about?" Jungkook huffed and walked away from his mother's room. This is not something new he has heard. His mother, father and some priest keep talking about the cure to his curse, and Jungkook knows it is delusional.

He has to lose himself to the devil one day and that's for sure. There is no blessing that would free him from the devil. It is his fate that he has accepted. His parents should too.

"Oh, yes. If they lost him then they would lose the heir to the kingdom, no?" Jungkook chuckled bitterly. "Of course, they will that's why they are panicking more. Because why would someone be even worried about me? If I had some sibling then I would have been long forgotten" Jungkook just doesn't believe that someone can be worried for him. When he is in such trouble then why would people even bother to care for him?

Except for Taehyung, he just can't trust anyone and maybe Taehyung is with him because he doesn't know that Jungkook is cursed. If he got to know then he would leave his side too... Forever.

Taehyung...

Jungkook after returning to his room sat on the bed and looked at the flowers in his hands. The conversation he heard was like a reality check. Being with Taehyung made him like a normal wolf- whose life is normal too. He forgot that he has a devil inside which would take over his body anytime. The day he met Taehyung was because he was trying to calm himself down or more like running away from the demon.

After that, he started spending time with Taehyung, fell in love with him and thought he also will live a romantic life with his lover- but he totally forgot about his curse. He ignored his reality and lived in an imagination. He has a demon inside him and now the dangerous thing is even he doesn't know when what can happen. It's so unpredictable and dragging Taehyung in his cursed life would be the most inhumane and cruel thing he would do.

Taehyung deserves a happy life, full of happiness- not the one where his lover's body is a hostage of the devil's soul. It is unfair to him. His life would be in danger too.

"I can't do that... I can't risk my Taehyung's life for my selfish happiness. I am way too cursed to even have a glimpse at an angel like him than having him as my lover" Jungkook clutched the flowers in his fist and crushed the petals. Then threw them on the ground.

"I am sorry, Taehyung... I am not worthy of you... I am just misery that you are welcoming into your life. I am sorry... I have already, unintentionally, hurt a huge amount of people but I can't bare you being one of them. I have to break your heart but always remember that you will always be- my first and last love- my only one" here for the first time tears full of agony, heartbreak and sadness cascaded to the floor.
