Fated to You
The village slept under the silver glow of the moon, but Jeon Jungkook lay wide awake. He leaned against the old wooden fence outside his small house, dark eyes tracing the stars scattered across the endless sky. Somewhere deep inside, an ache pulled at him—a yearning for something more than the quiet, predictable life he had always known.
His friends were content. The villagers worked, ate, laughed, and rested in the same rhythm, day after day. But Jungkook’s heart refused to be still.
"There has to be more than this," he whispered into the night, his breath misting in the cool air.
The orchard nearby stirred with the soft rustle of blossoms. At first, he thought it was the wind, but then a sound reached him—a delicate chime, like the faint ringing of bells carried by the breeze. His body tensed. It wasn’t a sound he had ever heard before.
Jungkook pushed off the fence, curiosity drawing him forward. He stepped into the orchard, his boots crunching lightly against the earth. The trees glowed faintly under the moonlight, their blossoms swaying as if whispering secrets to one another.
And then he saw him.
A figure stood beneath the largest tree, bathed in pale light, as though the moon itself had descended to the earth. His hair shimmered, his posture regal yet sorrowful, and his gaze—though far away—seemed to hold the weight of eternity.
Jungkook’s breath caught. For a heartbeat, he forgot how to move, how to think. The world narrowed to that one figure who didn’t look human, who didn’t belong to this place… yet somehow fit more perfectly than anyone he had ever known.
But before Jungkook could speak, before he could even take a step closer, the blossoms shifted—and the figure was gone. The clearing was empty, leaving only the faint chime lingering in the air.
Jungkook’s heart thudded wildly in his chest. He pressed a hand against it, trying to steady himself, but the pounding refused to fade.
"Who… was that?" he whispered, staring at the place where the mysterious boy had been.
The orchard gave no answer. But Jungkook knew, with an unshakable certainty, that this night was only the beginning.
