Two Worlds | JIKOOK ✅

13.

JIMIN POV

They have every right to claim
Dalsu.

I sat up in bed, the fear of
those seven words racing through me.

I didn't understand who they were or what claim meant
but it was bad.

Very very bad.

I tried to justify it in my mind that it was a wolf thing and it was the pack welcoming him
but there was both fear and
rage in Jungkook's voice.

This was not good.

Not. At. All.

I jumped out of bed and
sprinted to the room where
Dalsu still lay sound asleep.

He was safe. For now.

I left his door ajar, needing
to be able to hear him
breathing, his quiet snores.

"Jungkook." I whispered as I entered the main room.

He wasn't there.

I tried the kitchen, the
bathroom, every room I
could find.

No Jungkook.

Where had he snuck off to?

Had they found him?

Was he safe?

Were we?

My heart pounded in my chest
as I tried to come up with a
plan.

I was no match for a wolf or wolves.

If they came, I had what?

A bum leg to kick them with?

Steps echoed.

Someone was coming up the porch steps and I scanned the room for something hard and heavy.

If I caught them by surprise, maybe I could knock them out.

A lamp near the door became
my best option and I hobbled
as quickly as my boot would allow, grabbing it just as the doorknob rotated.

I could do this.

I had to do this.

Dalsu needed me.

I grabbed it, holding onto it
with all I had and bringing
it up and over my head.

I had exactly one chance to make this right...one.

"Whoa." Jungkook's voice
echoed as I started to swing
my arm and the error of my actions barreled at me.

I overcorrected and started to fall only instead of hitting the floor, I hit a wall of muscle...I
fell into Jungkook.

No, I didn't fall into him.

He caught me.

I tried to knock him out with
a lamp not realizing it was
him and he protected me.

"I've got you." He promised,
for it felt like a promise and
my heart slowed, no longer beating so hard against my chest.

"I've got you."

"Who were you talking to?"

There was so much I needed
to know but not until I knew
the other person was
someone I could trust.

Shit, I hadn't even heard them
or any of the conversation
really, just that one line.

If I was going to keep Dalsu
safe, I needed to be more diligent and not allow myself
to sleep so soundly.
