The Duke & His Haughty Fiance ((~Taekook~)) Kim Taehyung

.....

✳️

Kim Taehyung was a thousand-year-old fox demon, known for being calm and reasonable..even if he had a few personality flaws.. He always prided himself on staying composed..

But now, he was furious. It felt like heaven was punishing him, throwing one misfortune after another his way..

First, he failed his tribulation.. His demon core cracked, and at the last moment, he was thrown into a void where something slashed him.. When he finally landed, it was in a strange world with barely any spiritual energy..

His core was damaged, his body broken, and his spirit close to fading.. He couldn’t even heal his wounds.. With no energy to open his magical artifact, the powerful demon fox nearly bled to death..

Then things got worse..his mind went blank, and he couldn’t move or speak.. He felt himself being carried around but couldn’t wake up..He wanted to scream, but he was helpless..

Eventually, he was placed somewhere with a bit more spiritual energy.. It wasn’t much, but even that tiny amount was enough since he still couldn’t wake up..

Taehyung actually had let himself relax a bit,but if he had known that relaxing would lead to forming a contract..he would’ve done everything he could to wake up and run far away..

Taehyung wanted to fight against any contract that tied his life to someone else's...but he couldn’t escape now..

His injuries were too serious.. His demon core was cracked...so he couldn’t act freely, especially in a world where even a little spiritual energy was rare.. He didn’t have the strength to break the contract..

Worse, this wasn’t a normal contract.. If it had been the usual kind between humans Taehyung wouldn't have worried..even injured, he could’ve easily flipped the power balance and taken control, as often happened in cultivation realms..

But this one was different—too powerful, too precise.. Taehyung was sure it wasn’t made by a human.. It felt like something made by demons themselves to bind their own kind..It knew exactly how to control a demon..

Through the contract, both parties could sense each other’s presence, and it carried an overwhelming ancient power.. Each part of it could target a demon’s weaknesses..

Once Taehyung regained enough strength, he planned to try breaking it.. But for now, with his shattered core and a bond this advanced, he couldn’t fight back at all..

Kim Taehyung

🗯️ Humpp...how dare they!?

Taehyung felt frustrated and angry.. On his Spiritual Realm, powerful demons like him usually lived freely and followed their own rules..

He always tried to stay calm and strong, but now he just wanted to lash out and claw everyone around him..

Kim Taehyung

🗯️Why did i have to suffer like this?

But sometimes, when you’re stuck, you have to give in..So Taehyung had no choice but to watch the contract take hold of him..

After some time sulking, he realized the person he was bound to seemed to be dying..That hit him hard..

Kim Taehyung

🗯️ Ya... you can't die on me..

This was a life-and-death contract.. If the person died he might die too.. And with both of them so weak, that was a real danger..

He gritted his teeth and reminded himself that a wise fox knew when to act tough and when to give in..

Kim Taehyung

🗯️If a contract could be made, it could also be broken too...

He smirked thinking about it..

Kim Taehyung

🗯️I could always turn things around and maybe even use this to my advantage..

With that thought Taehyung used what little energy he had to open his artifact and pull out a top-grade healing pill, ready to save the dying one..

But just as he got close the person coughed up bloof..directly onto his paw..

The blood of Zen poison stinks..

Taehyung was furious.. Even the most patient fox couldn’t take that..

Kim Taehyung

Gross.....How dare you.. You Demon, ungrateful being...

He screamed in outrage..When he woke up, he swore he would claw this person face and make him pay!

Meanwhile, Jungkook who was now barely conscious, watched the little fox in his hand squirming, growling, and throwing little punches in the air—even in sleep..
