Wild (Taekook) Chapter 1

Jungkook huffed as he trekked through the forest. He had no idea where he was headed to. Nor did he know where he came from. Panting, he stopped and looked around. Everything seemed the same in his eyes. Just trees everywhere. Rocks. Vines. And wilderness. He took in a deep breath, jerking his bag on his back and started walked. The canopy made it hard to see the sun. So, he didn't even know which direction he was headed. There was just enough light to walk without tripping.

Jungkook yelped and stopped immediately when he heard some sound. He looked around with wide eyes. After looking around for a while he guessed it was a small animal and shrugged it off. He wasn't scared that were any big animals here. He had already made sure that this place was safe for trekking.

Jungkook stopped walking again after a while and pulled out his water bottle from his bag. He took in three big gulps and put it away. He wiped off the sweat from his forehead before starting to walk again.

Jungkook

Go trekking I said.

Jungkook chastised himself,

Jungkook

It'll be fun, I said.

Jungkook again stopped to look around. But found nothing that helped him at all. If anything, he felt like he was walking in circles. Jungkook let out a loud whine, stomping the ground. He felt frustrated. Annoyed. Unknowingly, he rubbed the stone he wore around his neck and thought about what to do. It was a habit he had. Rubbing it somehow made him feel calmer.

Now, his only goal was to get out of this forest. And possibly before sun-down. But just as he was about to start walking he heard more sounds. It was like the breaking of twig. Rustling of leaves. Jungkook inhaled sharply and became quiet. He tried listening for more such noises. And upon hearing none, he decided it would be better if he just started walking again.

He didn't know how long he had been walking. But he was starting to get tired. He didn't really want to use his phone in this little adventure of his. Wanting it to be done completely by his own ability. He was regretting that decision now.

He knelt down on the ground and pulled his bag forward. He dug his hand inside his bag and started searching for his phone. He grumbled under his breath as he struggled to find it. Thankfully, before he would combust, he found the phone. He cheered quietly under his breath and stood up.

He waited for his phone to switch on as he started walking. However, he frowned when he saw that his phone was glitching. It was rather unusual. Like his entire screen started to glitch before turning completely black.

Jungkook

What?! NO! NO! No, No, No, please work"

Jungkook shrieked. But no matter how hard he tried. Or whatever he tried. The phone wouldn't turn on. Jungkook groaned in frustration and stuffed his phone in his pocket. He couldn't even use his phone to known where he was. Neither could he see the time. He couldn't even call anyone!

He ran his hand down his face in an annoyed manner and continued walking. After a while, he got thirsty again. Only to realize that he ran out of water.

Jungkook

Next time Jungkook, don't ever listen to yourself. Even if you're dying. Don't

Jungkook mumbled to himself and climbed up the biggest rock he could find.

Jungkook

Please, let me find water

Jungkook whispered to no one in specific. He gasped when he was able to hear the sound of running water. He quickly jumped off the rock and started running towards the direction of the sound. He realized few seconds later it was bad idea to run when dehydrated. Nevertheless, he was able to find the source of the sound. It was stream.

The river passed through the jungle wide and clear. Jungkook could see its bed. Rocks. And even some small fishes swimming across. He cupped his hand into the water and tasted it. He sighed in relief. The water so clear and cold. Jungkook could even say that the water was delicious.

He quickly brought out his bottle and filled with just as much water as he could drink before refilling it to the brim. Then he cleaned up his hand and splashed some water on his face to cool himself down.

The river flowed to Jungkook's right. Seeing that he decided to walk in the same direction as the river. Knowing that would at least lead him somewhere. He had taken one step when he heard movement in the bushes just opposite to him, on the other side of the river.

This time, the sound was too loud. Too clear to ignore it. Jungkook gulped, taking a step back. He let out a shaky breath when he saw a shadow move among the bushes. He wanted to run. But his legs betrayed him.

He gulped when heard low growls coming from the bushes. He felt like his blood turned solid in his veins when he realized that the shadow a bit too large to be of something harmless. This was wrong. All wrong. He had made sure to check the forest for multiple times. No article. Tourist's review said anything about any large animals. His legs started to shake. Knees buckling in when the animal finally decided it had enough of hiding. Jungkook almost passed out on spot seeing what it was.

A Tiger.

It growled. Its golden eyes glowed it a burning anger. The orange-gold of the tiger, with its black velvet artist stripes, was a proud sight amid the bushes. It muscles tensed and relaxed as it took a step forward. Just from its stance Jungkook knew it would pounce on him at moment. Running was a stupid decision that Jungkook didn't want to take no matter how much his body begged for it. The tiger would catch him before he could even run a few feet away from the river.

But what happened next was nothing he had expected. The tiger slowly turned in to a human. Jungkook's head started to spin and darkness soon fell over him.
