The Duke & His Haughty Fiance ((~Taekook~))
Calm Demon
When Taehyung woke up for the third time, he felt even weaker than before. Forcing his magical artifact open earlier had clearly made things worse..
He checked himself right away—his demon core was still broken, his energy channels were in chaos, and even after resting so long, nothing had improved..
He let out a deep sigh..This couldn’t go on...
He had a few strong pills inside his artifact, but… he didn’t even have the strength to open it.. It was like having medicine but no way to reach it..
It was really frustrating.. And even if he could take one, there was no guarantee it would work..
In all his thousand years, Taehyung had never heard of a demon core cracking like this.. And Now, he was stuck in a world with weak spiritual energy, and nothing here could help him..
Using his divine sense, he sensed someone in the room—the one he wanted revenge on..
Kim Taehyung
🗯️ It's the guy I saved..
He still remembered the scent of poison in the person's body..but now it was gone..
That reminded him of the contract between them, and he felt even more frustrated..
Just then he heard the cold voice..
Jeon Jungkook
You are awake..
Taehyung was surprised.. At first, he didn’t understand the words—but maybe because of the contract, he suddenly did.. Instead of opening his eyes, he used his senses to feel around..
He felt the human wasn’t weak, but he wasn’t strong enough to notice him either..
But he was clearly wrong..
Jungkook looked at the little fox.. He saw the ears twitch slightly, though the eyes stayed closed..
Years of training made Jungkook very observant.. He had only spoken as a test, but the small reaction told him a lot..
Although the little fox didn’t open his eyes.. he quickly noticed that his breathing had changed..
Jungkook was just testing.. He had lowered his voice on purpose and didn’t expect the little guy to react so adorably..
Jungkook’s sharp senses told him the fox wasn’t weak.. He was awake and carefully checking the surroundings..
Maybe it was a natural instinct for beasts to protect themselves.. But to someone like Jungkook—who dealt with danger and traps every day—the fox was still inexperienced..
But since the little fox still refused to open his eyes.. Jungkook didn’t want to bother him.. so he kept reading the document in his hand.. But after barely five seconds.. he shut off the Data Pad screen and sat up straight beside the bed..
Jeon Jungkook
You have been asleep for eight hours....
Jungkook said.. Poking Taehyung’s forehead with a finger.. then reached to touch the soft ears behind his head..
Kim Taehyung
🐾Don’t touch!
The little fox grunted unhappily..
Jungkook still with a stiff face pretended not to hear and kept touching..
Jeon Jungkook
There’s dinner outside.. They made one of Lunor’s specialties.. Moonfang meat.. It’s rare and tastes amazing.. Want some?
The moment he said that.. he felt Taehyung’s long ears freeze..
Earlier they twitched like he was trying to dodge.. but now they stayed stiff.. like Jungkook had hit his weak spot and a very small grin appeared on Jungkook's face..
Kim Taehyung
🗯️He is snickering , how dare he!?
Taehyung grunted and repeated in his head three times—
Kim Taehyung
🗯️I’m a calm demon.. I’m a calm demon.. I’m a calm demon..
Then he opened his eyes and smacked his paw across Jungkook’s face..
