The THREE: The Beast (Yeonjun x Reader)

Internal Conflicts on the Full Moon (Part 2)

The Truth and Nothing but the Truth

3rd P.O.V

Luna stood there. Completely alone with an out-of-control werewolf. And she was getting weaker and weaker. It had been almost six hours now since they put on the moon blockage spell. Behind her, she heard a little laugh. She turned around slowly. "Guess you finally came to visit me again" Yeonjun said in a low and broken voice "It has been so long since the last time I saw you". Luna looked at him confused "Yeonjun?". A sarcastic laugh escaped his lips "Oh you still know my name". Luna furrowed her eyebrows. Yeonjun got up on one knee "Then I guess you also remember all the pain and torture you put me through". This was the first time in five hours that Yeonjun had looked up. Luna took a step back. His eyes were shining the same golden orange colour as always but this time there was something menacing over them. "Why are you backing away love? Are you scared of me? ME?" he roared the last part. Luna flinched when he raised his voice at her. Yeonjun slowly rose from the ground. "What you're feeling is exactly what I felt. The fear" he was now standing looking directly at Luna. She wanted to look away, but she couldn't. She was too scared. The glint in his eyes made her freeze in place. "But oh no... It was not only the fear.. Remember the pain you put me through" Yeonjun was now walking towards her. The restraints stopped him from moving closer. "The pain... the betrayal... the hatred for what you took from me" Yeonjun started to shake. "The pain!" with one yell he stabbed himself in the stomach. Luna's eyes widened. "Stop... Yeonjun stop it!" Luna yelled and stepped closer to him. Yeonjun's eyes shot up at her and he became even more feral the closer she got. "You killed me" he said in a stone-cold tone "Stabbed me over and over and OVER AGAIN. You ripped me into pieces". "I should have known..." he paused for a second "You never loved me, did you?". There was hurt in his words and eyes. "DID YOU?!" he grew angrier and angrier by the second. "Yeonjun stop! I have no idea what you're talking about" it got completely quiet. "Hah" he said with a smirk plastered on his face. "I'm going to hurt you like you hurt me. I'll rip every single limb off your body. Tear your whole chest open and rip your cold heart out" at this point Yeonjun was trying to get out of his restraints. His wolf side had taken over completely. "Yeonjun stop!" Luna yelled as she stepped as far back, as she could. Yeonjun let out a roar. "I'll kill you Leila! For everything you did to me" he shouted as his left wrist broke free from the restraint. Luna's eyes widened. "Yeonjun! Listen to me! I'm not Leila!" the restraint around his right ankle broke. He was eagerly trying to get free from the restraints now. "Yeonjun" Luna managed to cry out before two more of his restraints broke. Luna knew that the restraint around his stomach would not hold much longer.

She was trying to come up with a plan I can't leave. Otherwise, the others would not be safe. I also can't leave him in a state like this Luna thought to herself. She took another glance at him. That is when she saw it. She looked directly into his eyes but this time she was not met by menacing emotions and intentions. She saw it. His fear. The real Yeonjun was trapped inside his own body. Controlled by a lunatic of a werewolf. Unable to free himself. She remembered the name which he called her by. "Leila" she said underneath her breath. By the mentioning of that name, Yeonjun looked up at her and started swinging his arms, trying to hurt her. Luna took a step closer to Yeonjun. Her eyes did not leave his. "Yeonjun" she said firmly. She got a growl in return. Luna stood completely still in front of him showing no fear anymore. "Yeonjun. I'm not her" she said as she took yet another step towards him "I'm not her". Yeonjun seemed to calm down a bit. He looked away from Luna. He began to become angry again. "Yeonjun. Look at me" Luna said calmly. He looked at her again. "I. Am. Not. Her" she said with determination in her voice. She wanted to help him. And right now, the only way she could think of was to reach out to him and not the uncontrollable wolf side of him. Yeonjun was about to look away from her again. "Look at me" she said as she took yet another step towards him "I'm Luna, not her". It seemed to be working but with one quick move Yeonjun broke off his last restraint. He grabbed a hold of her neck and slammed her into the wall. Luna grabbed his hands trying to loosen his grip. He let out a horrible noise. "Yeon- jun" Luna managed to get out. Tears began forming in her eyes. His nails started digging into her skin. She gasped in pain and panic. She saw a figure forming behind Yeonjun. It was the same girl from earlier. Leila. Rage started to fill her up. Something finally clicked. Yeonjun was being controlled by this lunatic of a werewolf. He was her puppet, and she was his puppeteer. She looked back to Yeonjun, ignoring the presence of the girl. An urge to scream filled up. Luna closed her eyes preparing herself to take the biggest inhale she had ever taken. After a slight pause, she finally let go. "YEONJUN" she screamed. He immediately let go. Luna managed to land on both of her feet. Yeonjun stumbled back. He was grabbing his head in pain and agony. Luna could tell that it was working. He was starting to become more human again. He stopped waving his head around. Only their heavy breathing could be heard. "Luna... you need to go" Yeonjun muttered with a breathy and shaky voice. "I'm not going anywhere" she said as she straightened her body. "Please... you have to.. I don't wanna hurt you..." he said as tears were forming in his eyes. His eyes told her everything she needed to know. "I'm not going" she said in almost a whisper. "I'm not in control" he said as he backed away from her. "Then take control" Luna said as she took another step toward him. Yeonjun began shaking but this time not because of anger or hatred. He was shaking out of fear. "I'm not sure I can anymore" he said as a tear fell down his cheek. Yeonjun fell to his knees out of exhaustion. Luna kneeled before him "Then let me help you" she said in a whisper. With careful hands, she put her hand on his. The warmth radiating off his hand felt familiar in a way. He looked up at her again. This time with pain and hurt in his eyes. There they were. The familiar eyes from her recurring dream. And with that, she carefully put her arms around him and hugged him. Yeonjun stiffened by her actions but soon felt the wave of comfort and warmth. He put his arms around her and hugged her back. Finally, being able to let go of all his hidden emotions. The two of them sat like that for a while. Both dwelling on different yet familiar feelings.

Luna pulled away. Yeonjun sat himself up against the cold stone wall. His breath was shaky, and he was taking quick inhales. Luna looked him over. "Why are you not healing?" she said as she saw the open wounds on his stomach and chest. Yeonjun looked down and then let out a short laugh "I don't know". Luna furrowed her eyebrows. "How do you guys usually heal?" she looked him in the eyes. "I don't know. It usually just happens by itself or when we're feeling pain" after finishing his sentence he winced in pain "Ah, shit". Luna went closer to him "Well you're definitely in pain". She grabbed the bottom of his shirt. She looked him in the eyes for consent. Yeonjun gave her a nod and she pulled up his shirt, the wounds were now exposed. "Shit, Yeonjun" Luna let out a little gasp by accident "Why the fuck would you do this to yourself". He winced in pain again "It keeps me human". Luna quickly looked up at him "Pain keeps me human". It was silent for a while. "You really need something else to keep you human" Luna looked at his wound again. He looked at her with gentle eyes. She took her hand and gently touched his skin. "Nothing else works" Luna stopped her hand movement "Only pain works... I mean at least for me. It's different for others". She looked up at him. He was already looking at her. "So the others-" Yeonjun answered her before she could finish her question "Yes, they have different things keeping them human".

Luna gave a little nod. She looked him over. He was paler than before. Also, it seemed like his whole body was shaking and wincing in pain. "Okay" she pulled up her sleeve "What are you doing?". Without answering him she moved even closer to him. The two of them were now sitting face to face. She put both of her hands on the big gashes. Yeonjun let out a pained yelp. His eyes widened as he looked at her. For a second, they turned a golden colour. She quickly looked at him, before looking towards the ceiling of the chamber. Please don't let this kill me she pleaded as she closed her eyes. "In the divine name of the Goddess, who breathes life into us all" light began coming through the cracks of the ceilings as she began chanting. "Luna what the hell are you doing?!" Yeonjun tried moving her hands away, but it was to no avail. He was too weak. He let out a shaky breath as he started to feel a cold and soothing sensation starting from his stomach. Luna began glowing an icy blue colour. "I concentrate and charge my hands" her hands began glowing the same blue colour "As a magical tool for healing". Yeonjun's eyes shot open as he felt an energy surge run through him like lightning. His eyes began glowing a deep golden colour. The glow coming from Luna slowly began fading.

Yeonjun fell back up against the wall. He let out a heavy breath. Luna was still sitting with her eyes closed and hands on his stomach. "Luna?" Yeonjun managed to say before she collapsed against him. Out of instinct, Yeonjun grabbed her. She had her head against his chest. She was barely breathing. "What did you do?" he asked in a hurried voice "Healed... you...". Her voice came out as a whisper. Yeonjun looked down and saw his stomach completely healed. He looked down at her face. "Why the hell would you do that?!" his heart began to beat faster "It's not- your time. Yet". Yeonjun just looked at her completely baffled. "I'm... sorry..." she said before passing out. Her head fell back as she lost consciousness. Yeonjun quickly grabbed her head before she fell backwards. He got a better hold of her and placed her head back on his chest. He looked at her again. He moved some of the hair from her face. Why the hell would anyone do such a stupid thing he thought to himself as he looked around the room. His gaze fell upon Luna's face again "Idiot". He sat there for a while waiting for her to wake up. Exhaustion soon overtook him, and everything faded to black.
