burn for you

oneshots (Jikook)

In a kingdom overshadowed by perpetual twilight, there stood a fortress cloaked in black stone and sinister legends. This was the lair of Jeon Jungkook, a fearsome villain whose name sent shivers through even the bravest hearts. Jungkook, with his piercing eyes and aura of darkness, ruled with an iron fist and unrelenting power. Whispers of his deeds – ruthless and unforgiving – echoed throughout the land. No one dared challenge him, and those who did met a swift and merciless end.

Yet, within this fortress of shadows and fear, a different kind of legend was about to unfold.

Park Jimin was a young man of unparalleled innocence and warmth. With a heart as pure as his bright, smiling face, Jimin was a beacon of hope and light in a world shrouded by Jungkook’s darkness. His kindness was a rare gem, and his laughter a melody that could make even the coldest hearts thaw – if only for a moment.

One fateful day, Jimin’s path crossed with the infamous villain’s. It was a chance encounter in the market square, where Jimin had come to sell his family’s homemade bread. Jungkook, disguised in plain clothes, was drawn to the scene by the sound of Jimin’s laughter – a sound that seemed out of place in his world of perpetual twilight.

As Jungkook approached the stall, their eyes met. Jimin’s wide, innocent eyes looked up at Jungkook, not with fear, but with a curiosity that took the villain by surprise. For the first time in his life, Jungkook felt something other than darkness tugging at his heart.

“Would you like to try some bread?” Jimin asked, his voice soft and welcoming.

Jungkook nodded, his usual cold demeanor momentarily softened. He took a piece of bread, savoring its warmth and flavor. “It’s good,” he muttered, unable to muster more words.

Jimin’s smile brightened. “Thank you! My family puts a lot of love into our baking.”

Love. The word resonated with Jungkook in a way he couldn’t understand. He left the market with a heart heavier than usual, Jimin’s laughter echoing in his mind.

Days turned into weeks, and Jungkook found himself returning to the market more often, always seeking out Jimin’s stall. They spoke little, but each interaction left Jungkook yearning for more of Jimin’s light. The fortress of shadows he called home felt colder and emptier each time he returned.

One evening, Jungkook decided to reveal his true identity to Jimin. He knew it was a risk, but he could no longer bear the weight of his secret. He invited Jimin to his fortress, cloaking the invitation in mystery.

Jimin, ever trusting and curious, accepted. He arrived at the fortress, his eyes wide with awe and a hint of apprehension. Jungkook met him at the gate, his usual cold exterior wavering.

“Jimin, there’s something you need to know,” Jungkook began, leading him inside.

As they walked through the dimly lit corridors, Jungkook revealed his true self – the villain feared by all. He expected Jimin to recoil in horror, to run away and never look back. But Jimin’s reaction was nothing like he anticipated.

Instead of fear, Jimin’s eyes held compassion. “You’re not just a villain, Jungkook. There’s more to you than the darkness.”

Jungkook was stunned. No one had ever seen beyond his fearsome exterior. No one had ever believed he could be anything more than a monster.

As days passed, Jimin’s presence began to change Jungkook’s world. The fortress of shadows slowly warmed under Jimin’s light. Jungkook found himself doing the unthinkable – he laughed, he smiled, and he began to care.

But the world beyond their fortress was not as accepting. Rumors spread of the villain’s strange behavior, and enemies began to plot. They saw Jimin as a weakness, a way to bring Jungkook to his knees.

One fateful night, the fortress was attacked. Flames engulfed the black stone, and chaos reigned. Jungkook fought with all his might, his only thought to protect Jimin.

Amidst the turmoil, Jimin was captured. Jungkook’s enemies taunted him, using Jimin as a pawn in their cruel game. They threatened to take away the one person who had brought light into Jungkook’s dark world.

Fueled by rage and desperation, Jungkook’s power surged. He became a force of destruction, burning the world around him to save the one he loved. His enemies fell before him, their screams echoing in the night.

Finally, Jungkook reached Jimin, who was bound and surrounded by flames. With a wave of his hand, Jungkook extinguished the fire, pulling Jimin into his arms.

“I’m sorry, Jimin,” Jungkook whispered, his voice breaking. “I never wanted this for you.”

Jimin looked up at him, his eyes filled with unwavering love. “I knew the risks, Jungkook. I chose to be with you, no matter what.”

In that moment, surrounded by the remnants of a world in flames, Jungkook realized the depth of his love for Jimin. He would burn the world again and again if it meant keeping Jimin safe.

As dawn broke, the fortress stood in ruins, but Jungkook and Jimin remained, their bond stronger than ever. Together, they rebuilt, creating a new world where darkness and light coexisted in harmony.

Jungkook was no longer just a villain. He was a man who had found redemption through the love of an innocent boy – a love that could burn the world and heal it all at once.
