Jungkook has never felt this worried before. He kept staring at the door. Waiting for any news to come.

Jungkook paced outside the chamber, his footsteps echoing down the corridor. He had been told to wait elsewhere, but he couldn't bring himself to leave.

Fear gripped his heart as he thought of Y/n, his wife, struggling through labor inside.

"Your Majesty, please," a gentle voice urged, "You shouldn't be out here. It's not proper."

Jungkook spun around, his eyes wild. "I'm scared," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.

Hoseok’s expression softened. "The princess will be fine, sir. It's a blessing from the gods."

Jungkook's laugh was bitter. "A blessing? She's only seven months pregnant. She's so weak, so frail...I'm afraid she'll die."

His mother died while giving birth. That is why he was so against her getting pregnant. How could he let that happen even knowing the consequences?

He thought back to the months past, watching Y/n's body change, her slender frame dwindling as if the baby was consuming her from the inside out. She couldn't even walk without assistance now.

Hoseok placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "It's the will of the gods, Your Majesty. You shouldn't feel guilty."

Jungkook shook off the hand, his eyes blazing. "I fcked her, not the gods. I'm the one who did this to her."

He was annoyed by everyone telling him it's god’s doing. He held his hand, he should have controlled himself, he should have been more careful.

His voice cracked as he thought of losing Y/n, of never seeing her smile again.

Jungkook burst into the chamber, his heart racing, as a loud scream echoed through the air, followed by Y/n's faint cries.

He was met with a scene of chaos, the midwife and maids yelling and shaking in fear, their eyes fixed on something in the bed.

Y/n lay pale and exhausted, her eyes wide with confusion, as a...thing emerged from her body.

It was not a child, but a dark creature with scales and horns, its eyes glowing red.

The midwife and maids cowered, frozen in terror, as the creature let out a blood-curdling wail.

Jungkook's mind reeled in horror, but he sprang into action, grabbing a nearby knife and cutting the umbilical cord, still attached to Y/n.

"How could you be so negligent?" Jungkook thundered, his anger directed at the midwife. "You risked Y/n's life!"

The midwife trembled, "I-I couldn't, Your Majesty..the rumors are true, it's a curse...she is cursed!"

Jungkook's face darkened, his fists clenched. "She is not cursed," he growled, taking out his sword and cutting the head off the midwife.

He looked at the maid, “Who else thinks she is cursed?”

He was staring at the eyes of the maids, he couldn't let them go out looking like this. No one has the right to look at Y/n and their child  like that. He did what he felt was the right thing to do, he cut the heads of all the witnesses there except the Hoseok.

As the creature let out another ear-piercing wail, Jungkook turned to Y/n, his heart heavy with worry. "My love, what have they done to you?" he whispered, holding her close.

Y/n's eyes, filled with fear and uncertainty, locked onto him. "I don't know, Jungkook...what's happening?"

What was this creature? And what did it mean for their future?

Jungkook's grip tightened, his mind racing with questions. Jungkook knows exactly what he is.
___

Jungkook wrapped his arms around Y/n, holding her close, as she woke up, "My love, are you okay?" he whispered, his voice filled with concern. “I am so happy you are alive.”

Y/n's eyes darted around the room, her brow furrowed. "Where is...that thing?"

Jungkook's expression was puzzling. "What thing?"

Y/n's voice trembled. "The fat lizard...or whatever monster that was...that I gave birth to."

Jungkook's face softened. "It's in another room, don't worry about it now."

But Y/n's worry only deepened. "I'm worried about your father, Jungkook. He was against our marriage from the start...and if he finds out I gave birth to a devil like your mom..."

Jungkook's grip tightened. "Nothing will happen, my love. I won't let him harm you or our baby.”

Y/n's eyes welled up with tears. "But he is the king, Jungkook...he runs a holy place. If he discovers the truth, he'll burn me at the stake and the baby? Your case was different wasn't it? You were normal, meanwhile your brother wasn't. But I just gave birth to only one monster.”

Jungkook's voice was firm. "It's still our baby, Y/n. And I won't let anyone harm you or our child."

Y/n's face contorted in anguish. "Our baby is supposed to be human, Jungkook...not a monster. This is the curse I've had since childhood and you...the devil I thought I left behind is still inside me."

Jungkook's expression was determined. "We'll face this together, Y/n. We'll find a way to break the curse and protect our child.”

“No I don't want this child, I want a human baby.” She said,

Jungkook stared at her face, but, How can a devil’s child be a human?

__

Jungkook stared at the baby, he looked cute and innocent. But are the devil innocent like a human? No, and Y/n doesn't want a child like this.

If Y/n doesn't want it, Jungkook doesn't want it either.

With a swift, decisive motion, he raised his sword and struck, cutting off the devil's head. The head rolled away. Jungkook sighed and turned around.

But The head slowly descended, connecting with the body, the wound sealing itself in an instant.

Jungkook was not surprised or shocked.

He sighed, realizing his foolishness. Of course, he couldn't kill an immortal devil child. It was a creature of darkness, born from a curse.

He stared at the child. He rubbed his finger on the cheeks. “Your existence can reveal my true identity, you were supposed to look like a human like your mother. Why did you have to be born like me?”
___

Jungkook's voice was gentle but firm. "Y/n, you need to breastfeed the baby."

Y/n's eyes widened in horror. “Which baby? That creature?”

“He hasn't eaten since the day he was born, he is making weird noises. He can't die of starvation, but he can cause problems for everyone if we don't feed him something.”

"You can't be serious! Bring the devil some bats or whatever it is that devils eat!" She replied.

Jungkook's expression was soft. "It's a baby, Y/n. Our baby. Despite the curse, it's still our child. Is the appearance of the child so ugly to you that you don't want to even look at him?”

Y/n's face contorted in anguish. "But it's not human, Jungkook! It's a monster!"

Jungkook's words were laced with emotion. "No other woman can feed this child, Y/n. Your body was able to carry it for seven months. You're the only one who can nourish it now."

Y/n was nervous and was not sure. Jungkook brought her the baby, he was only a few days old yet he could crawl.

Y/n's resolve crumbled, tears streaming down her face as she gazed at the tiny devil. The eyes looked like Jungkook's. The baby was actually adorable, maybe more adorable than a human baby because of his big eyes and cute sharp teeth.

Y/n was shocked because she was expecting a human, but this is still her child.

It wasn't human, but as she held it in her arms, she felt a strange, twisted sense of love.

With trembling hands, she brought the devil to her breast, its tiny mouth latching onto her nipple. Y/n's sobs intensified as she felt a surge of milk flow into the creature.

Jungkook's eyes locked onto hers. As the devil suckled, Y/n's tears fell onto its scaly head, a strange sense of love in her heart.
___

It's so strange, Y/n never thought she would let a devil baby hug her like this.

Y/n sat cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by candles and sacred texts. She read the holy verses aloud, her voice trembling with desperation.

Jungkook entered the room, concern etched on his face.

"Y/n, you need to rest. These things won't work," he said gently.

Y/n's eyes flashed with determination. "I won't give up, Jungkook. I want to get rid of this curse. I want our son to be a normal baby."

Jungkook knelt beside her, his voice soft. "Y/n, we've tried everything. Maybe we should accept-"

Y/n's voice cracked. "Accept? You don't understand, Jungkook. Everyone I've loved has died. My parents, my friends...I'm afraid that my life will be ruined, that our son will be the end of us."

Jungkook pulled her into his arms, holding her close. "We'll find a way to break the curse."

It's not a curse, it's him that is the problem.

Y/n's tears soaked into his shirt as she whispered, "I'm so scared, Jungkook. I don't want to lose you or our son."

Jungkook's hold tightened, his voice a gentle whisper. "We'll get through this, Y/n. I promise.”

“Maybe we should talk to your father and inform him about everything.” Y/n said.

“What will he do?” Jungkook asked.

“He was able to break the curse at your birth.” Y/n exclaimed.

“He didn't break the curse, he just abandoned it and made his one son suffer all his life. He knew he couldn't kill a devil so he just made the devil suffer. He didn't bother to name him, or anything. Do you want to do the same with our son? Do you want to never see your son again?” he asked.

“Do you want to raise a devil as your son?” She asked.

“I am not raising a devil as my son, he is my son. And I just want to raise him. Being human doesn't mean you are a saint. Humans are the most evil and selfish creatures Y/n.”

___

Flashback,

The maids' voices barely above a whisper. "Did you hear? The queen gave birth to a son and a devil. She died in childbirth."

The news spread like wildfire through the palace, with everyone talking about the queen's tragic fate and the king's desperation to rid himself of the devil child.

Everyone wanted a solution, people were worried about the nation and the curse of the devil.

Jungkook’s father was determined to destroy the devil, and tried every method possible. He burned it with fire, struck it with lightning, and even attempted to drown it. But no matter what he did, the devil refused to die.

At last, Jungkook’s father handed the devil over to a mysterious cult, visiting them every day to ensure they were making progress.

The cultists tortured the devil, subjecting it to unspeakable pain, but still, it refused to succumb.

One day, the cult leader approached Jungkook’s father. "We've tried everything, Your Majesty. But this creature is resilient. We have one final option: forbidden magic."

His father nodded, desperate for a solution.

The cultists recited ancient incantations, and the devil let out a blood-curdling scream as its body began to contort and twist.

When the ritual finished, the cultists abandoned the devil in the wild, erasing its identity and leaving it to survive as a creature of the forest.

Had his father just condemned an innocent being to a life of suffering, or had he truly rid the world of evil? Only time would tell.

And the other son? He lived a Normal life and became the crown prince.
__

A few years passed by, and no one heard of the devil. The devil loses his real identity and motive while living in the wild, not understanding what he is or what his goal is.

Until one day he was picked up by someone after being abandoned all his life.

“Jungkook! Look! Look! I found a bunny!” The girl said excitedly. The devil stared at her, he is not really a bunny.

“We are here hunting, hold him, I will aim at him.” The child who was 7 years old said, while aiming his arrow at the devil. The devil was not impressed by the child or his aim, as it will just harm the girl.

He freed himself and ran away, before he could run further away as a bunny, the arrow hit his stomach.

The kid came and picked the bunny up by his ears. The devil stared at the kid. He recognized him now, it was none other than his brother Jungkook.

He smirked. “Here, you can eat it, Y/n. It's my  first Hunt of my life. This rabbit is dumb. Usually bunnies are quite fast.”

Y/n took the bunny. “Oh, thank you.” Her cheeks were red for the first time she received a gift from Jungkook.
__

Y/n bring the bunny home, it was alive. He took out the arrow from the stomach and then went to ask the maids to help the bunny. Before she came back the wound was already there.

“What? But you were injured badly?” Y/n was confused. She caressed the fur of the black bunny and stared at his green eyes. “You are such a unique bunny. I have never seen something like you.”

The devil felt weird. It's the first time he was resting in someone's arm. It's so comfortable.

Y/n smiled. “Aww, you are so cute. Jungkook gave you to me, that made you even more special.”

She caressed his head. “You remind me of Jungkook too! How about I name you after my Jungkook? Yes! From now on, your name is Jungkook too!”

The devil got a name, Y/n gave him a name. Even his family didn't but she did.
____

The rumors started spreading around as anyone who makes Y/n sad gets their Karma.

Whenever she cries, the person who is the reason for that, dies. Y/n likes to think it's mere coincidence but the brutal murders are saying something else.

Some say it's because of her engagement with Prince Jungkook. As he has connected with devil and evil powers and now the evil powers are affecting her life too.

But nobody thought it would be her little pet Bunny.

“This is so ridiculous, you know what his father is saying? He said he might break the engagement as he doesn't want the bride to have connections with evil powers.” Y/n said, every night the devil gets to hear her stories.

She has been engaged with Jungkook since a young age and she wants to marry him. It looks like she loves him.

He sees as she starts crying. “What if his father breaks mine and Jungkook's engagement?”

He hates seeing her in pain, she is the only one who deserves happiness in this world and he wants to do everything for her.
___

Jungkook's father, the king, sat at his desk, engrossed in paperwork. Suddenly, the door creaked open.

"Who dares to disturb me?" the king thundered, trying to hide his shock.

The devil's voice was low and menacing. "You seem to have forgotten your son, Your Majesty.”

The king's face paled. "Leave now, and do not return!"

The devil chuckled, its tail twitching. "Oh, I think I'll stay. You see, I've come to discuss Y/n's future. It was planned from the start that she would marry in this family. What made you change your mind?” He asked.

“She is cursed.” He replied.

“She is not cursed, you are. She is the only one who will marry in this family. No one else will ever be wed."

The king's eyes narrowed. "What are you talking about? Why do you care?”

The devil's grin grew wider. "I never interrupt in your business have I? I let you do whatever you want. You know how easy it would be for me to destroy this whole nation, but I am controlling my power and not using it. But, let's keep this simple. Let my human marry the person she loves,”

The king's face turned red with rage. "You will not dictate who my children marry!"

The devil's eyes glowed brighter. "Oh, but I already have. And you will not break Y/n's marriage to Jungkook. Ever. Or face the consequences.”
__

The devil was not selfish, nor was he planning to have Y/n by himself. He wanted her happiness.

He tried to be with her in every form, a bunny, cat, hamster, horse, anything so he could be close to her.

He felt a little envious of his human brother. If only he was human too, he would have tried to win Y/n’s heart. For now it was clear she loved Jungkook.

He grew with her, and she was now a 17 year old girl, Who just looked even more beautiful than before.

The devil, too, found himself entranced, struggling to maintain his composure around her. He had grown accustomed to her presence, but sometimes, his desires threatened to consume him.

Sometimes he wants to forget everything and be selfish like a human and have her.

However, the devil noticed a change in Jungkook's behavior. He had grown distant, cold, and detached from Y/n. Humans are truly greedy, they are never grateful for what they have.

Jungkook was delaying his marriage with Y/n and she discovered the answer to it too, he was cheating.

Y/n locked herself in her room, refusing to eat or drink.

The devil's rage knew no bounds. He wanted to murder Jungkook for causing Y/n such pain. His eyes blazed with fury.

She loves him with all her heart, and this is how he repays her?

He heard her sobs, fueling his anger. That's it, he will murder him. He knows Y/n would like that too, for three days she didn't leave the room.

But just as he was about to strike, Jungkook appeared at Y/n's door, knocking softly.

"Y/n, please open the door, honey," Jungkook cooed, his voice laced with sweetness.

The devil's patience was tested as he watched. To his surprise, Y/n's door creaked open, and Jungkook slipped inside.

The devil's ears perked up, listening to the conversation within.

"I'm so sorry, Y/n," Jungkook pleaded. "I know I hurt you, and I don't expect you to forgive me easily. But please, hear me out."

Y/n's voice trembled. "What could you possibly say to make this right? You visited a brothel? After everything you promised me?”

"It's not cheating if I'm paying for it, Y/n. It's just business."

Y/n's anger turned to disgust. "You're disgusting," she spat, turning away from him.

Jungkook took a deep breath. "We've been engaged since childhood, and I felt trapped. I wanted to explore, to experience life before settling down. I know it's no excuse, but I promise to never stray again."

The devil's eyes widened in disbelief. How can she forgive him so easily?
__

Despite his promises, Jungkook continued his affairs, showing no signs of stopping even being close to marriage.

Other than affairs, it felt like all the evilness in this world was filled in him rather than the devil.

But the Y/n was willing to give him one last chance, so the devil waited. Because he saw how Jungkook is the only one who makes Y/n happy like that.

That was until the day of the wedding ceremony.

Jungkook disappeared, leaving Y/n waiting alone at the altar.

The devil's patience snapped as he discovered Jungkook's whereabouts, in a room, naked with another woman.

He decided to appear in front of him, Jungkook's eyes widened in terror as the devil's gaze fell upon him.

"You fool," the devil spat, his voice dripping with venom. "You promised her faithfulness, yet you betray her on their wedding day?"

Jungkook cowered, realizing too late the gravity of his mistake.

The devil's anger consumed him, and he killed Jungkook.

But as he stood there, panting, he realized his mistake. He wasn't prepared for Y/n's reaction.

She will not blame Jungkook, she will blame the devil who killed her groom. She will not understand his intentions and think he is evil like the rest of the people.

The devil's eyes widened as he stared at his reflection in the mirror - he was now wearing Jungkook's wedding attire.

He knows he can take the form of humans, but he never did. Because he hated humans and then he took forms of Innocent animals to be around Y/n. But now, being like Jungkook?

Is this the right thing to do? Can I take his place? he thought, his mind racing with doubts.

But it was too late to turn back now. He took a deep breath and walked outside, his heart heavy with trepidation.

Y/n's smile faltered for a moment as he approached her, but then she whispered, "Jungkook, Where were you? You're late."

The devil's smile was a perfect imitation of Jungkook's. "I know I'm late, but I won't leave you now," he replied, his voice low and husky. Maybe he should have done this before.

This is the first time he is seeing her in this form, She looks so stunning in her wedding dress.

“Your eyes Jungkook,” Y/n spoks.

“What about them?” He got nervous so maybe it's eyes, she can tell he is the devil.

“Nothing, you have never looked at me with this much love before.” Y/n was smiling brightly.

Because the human Jungkook never loved her.

He took a deep breath and wiped her tears. “You are stunning.” He hold her hand and kissed them.

Y/n's eyes sparkled with happiness, The devil's heart sank, knowing he had to maintain this charade forever.

As they exchanged vows, the devil couldn't help but wonder - How did he end up actually marrying the only human he loved?
