The Duke & His Haughty Fiance ((~Taekook~))
A Visitor
Taehyung lay still after lunch. Or rather, Jungkook thought he was asleep..
Taehyung didn’t need sleep.. He used to nap just to pass the time.. As a child, he rarely rested, spending his days and nights playing.. After his Master left, he started sleeping more often—but not anymore..
Sleep was a luxury, and Taehyung didn’t have time for that..
Most of the time, he quietly focused on repairing his damaged demon core..
The spiritual energy in this world was weak, and only his room had a slightly higher concentration than outside.. It wasn’t an ideal environment for cultivation, so Taehyung had to be extra patient while absorbing it..
Suddenly, his tail twitched beneath the quilt.. He stirred from his meditation.As he felt something was approaching—fast, with an aggressive aura..
Kim Taehyung
🗯️ What....!?
Taehyung’s eyes opened at once.. Although he knew there were many guards stationed outside, this presence was different.. Fierce, unfamiliar.. He had never sensed it before...
He wasn’t afraid, but he thought about alerting Jungkook—especially since the man had scolded him earlier.. But as he turned toward him, Taehyung froze.. Jungkook was already watching him...
Ever since arriving in this world, Taehyung had been careful to stay hidden, avoiding anything that might expose him...
Jungkook had treated him kindly, but Taehyung’s Millennium Demon cultivation was something humans couldn’t understand..
And humans were the most unpredictable beings he had ever met..
If Jungkook discovered his secret, things could go very wrong.. He might want to dissect him and take what he could..
So Taehyung chose to stay by his side for now.. The contract they’d made meant Jungkook couldn’t harm him..
And as a Marshal Jungkook might even help him find more spiritual energy..
Once his demon core was healed, breaking the contract would be easy.. Until then, he had to stay hidden...
So Taehyung tried to act normal.. He hadn’t reacted strongly when he sensed the aura—just a small flick of his tail.. That shouldn’t have drawn attention..
Kim Taehyung
🗯️But why he is giving me that strange look?
As he thought more about it, a warning rose in his mind..
Maybe Jungkook had noticed something.. Maybe he was testing him.. Maybe his subordinates had already informed him that someone was coming..
Humans were always suspicious—full of schemes..
Kim Taehyung
🗯️Is it a trap!?
Feeling like he had accidentally walked into a trap, Taehyung sulked under the covers. He curled up and turned his back to Jungkook, sticking his tail out like a protest..
Jungkook’s eyes flickered with a hint of emotion, but he said nothing.. He stood up and walked to the door...
From beneath the blanket, Taehyung peeked and gave two small, irritated hums..
Kim Taehyung
🗯️See? Someone had warned him..And he is acting like I overreacted..
As Taehyung groaned, he couldn’t help but glance secretly at the door.. He had a strong feeling this was a different kind of visitor..
After all, when the doctor came earlier that morning, Jungkook hadn’t bothered to open the door himself..
And when Taehyung saw the face of the woman who walked in—exquisite makeup, elegant dress—he instantly understood..
This woman must be one of Jungkook’s relatives.. Their expressions were equally cold and serious.. Most likely, it was his mother..
Watching Jungkook even pull out a chair for her, Taehyung’s eyes widened slightly, and his earlier annoyance melted away.. He suddenly got interested.. He wanted to see a good show..
