"Jungkook?"

A youth of sixteen raised his head, brushing soft hair the color of ebony off his face. "Yes, Miss Haru? What is it?"

"I am sorry to bother you, young master, but your father has returned home and requires your presence downstairs. If you would come with me?"

"I didn't think he would be back so soon," Jungkook murmured, rising off his armchair. He held out his hand. "He said he wouldn't be back until tomorrow morning."

He felt the fisted hand fit under his palm and smiled up. Light glinted off the milky surfaces of his brown doe eyes. Ms. Haru led him down the stairs and into the open parlor before the main door to their house.

"Ah, Jungkook," Jeon said warmly. "Come here, my boy, give us a hug."

Smiling faintly, Jungkook accepted his father's embrace. "Welcome home, Appa."

"Thank you my son," Jeon said before withdrawing from the embrace. "Jungkook, my son, there is someone I want you to meet."

The young Lycan stepped forward when Jeon Seo-Jun gestured for him to do so. Jeon's son was extremely beautiful, with soft raven hair and big doe eyes.

"My son, this is Taehyung. Taehyung, this is my son, Jungkook."

Jeon took Jungkook's hand and placed it on Taehyung's. Only then did the Lycan realize it. Blinking, he gazed into the wondrous pools of the human boy's doe eyes.

He was blind.

'No wonder this man wanted a Lycan to protect his son.' Taehyung thought before addressing the boy. "Jungkook," he said, gently, pressing the hand to his chest, "I am Taehyung of the Kim clan. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The boy's hand gently pulled free of his own to land softly on his face, fingers tracing the contours there, as if memorizing. "Taehyung," the boy, smiled faintly. "You're very handsome."

Taehyung couldn't help smiling beneath those slender fingers. "Thank you, so are you."

Jungkook's smile deepened into a bright bunny-like smile, a slight blush upon his face.

"Taehyung's a wolf, Jungkook," Jeon said. "Biggest damn wolf I've ever seen. Size of a pony," he said to his son before addressing the Lycan, "Taehyung, as you can see, my son is blind. As Prime Chancellor of Busan, there could be many who would try using my son against me. Three weeks ago, one of Prime Chancellor Lee Chanwoo's daughters was kidnapped. She was in critical condition when she was found. My Jungkook is blind and wouldn't be able to defend himself in such situations."

"I understand your concern, Prime Chancellor," Taehyung responded, inclining his head, "and I have already given you my answer concerning your son. The Lycan have already agreed to let us perform the Bonding ritual. With your permission, I will begin tonight."

Jeon nodded. "What exactly is included in the ritual? It won't hurt my son, will it?"

"Of course not, however, no one else can be present, as it will interfere with the natural flow of my energies into him."

He didn't miss how Jungkook's head canted slightly to the side in curiosity before he turned to face his father, lifting his beautiful, blind eyes. "Appa, is this really necessary? I'm sure Taehyung has better things to do than baby-sit—"
