Jungkook's POV

"Get the fuck off of me, Jungkook!" Hoseok shouted, pushing me off of him, my legs giving out on me as I fell to the floor, a wince leaving my lips. I stared at the door, rushing to my feet and racing outside, my mind wandering.

"V! Wait!" He nor his friends looked back, they just sprinted towards the street. I tried to keep up with them, my eyes widening when I saw them run into the woods. I froze, staring at the dark forest ahead, gulping as I looked at the cars racing down the street.

Fuck, what am I thinking? What am I doing? Why am I chasing after him? I ran across the street, looking at the woods, heart thumping loudly in my chest. I shook my head, hands shaky and sweaty, turning around and running back to school.

I burst through the door I exited out of, making my way back to the table with my friends, seeing Hoseok visibly shaking with anger. "The fuck is your problem?! Holding me back? Did you see what they fucking did?!" I rolled my eyes, looking around.

"My problem? You're the one who's been nothing but an ass! I saved you from getting ISS and you're bitching at me?" I shouted, fed up with Hoseok's attitude. I grabbed my bag, throwing it over my shoulder, and walking passed my friends.

"Fuck off," I spat, flipping them off, letting the anger course through my veins. I exited the cafeteria, not managing to get very far when I was stopped by Jin. "You know Hoseok didn't mean that." I stopped, refusing to turn around.

"Believe what you wish, but Hoseok has been such an asshole recently. If he wants to get his ass beat by the new students, then let him. See if I care." I continued walking, hearing Jin's footsteps behind me. "The new students? You think they stood a chance against Hoseok?"

"You know his past, Jungkook." I scoffed, finally meeting Jin's eyes. "So what? He's not doing that crap anymore. Plus, those new students, they're..." I stopped, finding myself at a loss of words, my mind wandering a bit. "They're what?"

"They're not to be underestimated." I glared at Jin, crossing my arms, waiting for him to respond. "Stop being such a brat, Jungkook. You know what he's been through, okay? Cut him some slack." I scoffed, looking at him, dumbfounded.

"How does his drug addiction have anything to do with this? The fuck, Jin? If you dare assume that I held him back just to be some brat, then you're just stupid! I care! That's why I still hang around with you rejects!" I shouted, clenching my fists tightly.

"But Nah, dude." I laughed, shaking my head, my hair covering my eyes. "If you wanna bitch then bitch. The only reason why I hang out with you losers is that we've been together since kids." I snickered, turning away from Jin and walking away.

"See how far you get without me because we all know I'm the only one keeping this pathetic group alive." I pushed open the front doors to the main building, feeling the fall air hit my skin, my eyes glancing up to meet the sky. I sighed, too angry to care about the cold, my legs taking me back in the direction of the woods.

When I arrived, I walked right in, the cold air finally getting to me, my arms wrapping around my body in an attempt to warm myself up. "What am I doing back here?" I asked myself, walking deeper into the woods.

The city began to vanish as I was surrounded by nature, my eyes flickering over the trees. I sighed, sitting down on the grass, dumping my bag next to me. I didn't bring a jacket with me, it's in my locker. I frowned, the wind hitting my skin, making me shiver.

Curse the fall.

I sat, knees pressed to my chest, rocking myself back and forth, thinking about earlier. What was it about V? Why did he seem so, mysterious? He's suspicious, a troublemaker, someone I shouldn't be getting involved with.

Yet I am.

I wanted to know more. I wanted to know why I felt the way I did around him. I wanted to know why I felt drawn, enticed. I wanted to know why I felt so submissive, so small when I was near him. I wanted to know why his voice sent shivers down my spine, goosebumps on my arms.

I sighed again, teeth beginning to chatter from how cold it was getting. I looked around the woods, thinking about today. This morning, things were fine, yet now, everything just seemed to be crashing down. I was slowly breaking away from my friends.

"Friends," I scoffed, rolling my eyes. "What are friends, exactly?" Fucking Hoseok, man. I stopped him from getting his ass suspended and he has the audacity to get mad at me? For helping him out instead of letting him get in trouble?

And Jin too? Screw friends, they're fucking fake. I took a deep breath, shivering as the cold seemed to get worse. I was about to stand up and leave when I heard a deep growl, my head snapping around to find the source. I locked eyes with a wolf.

The same black wolf with dark blue eyes.

I gulped, feeling frozen in my spot, two more wolves following right beside the black one. Their eyes were red again, my eyes widening as they slowly came closer to me. "Please, don't hurt me," I begged, its ears perking up at my voice.

The black wolf stood only a few feet away from me, eyes seeming to scan my shivering body. I was still sitting on the grass, these wolves towering over me. The black wolf growled lowly, my eyes shut tightly in fear, body shaking violently from fear and the cold.

Yet what surprised me was the softness of the wolf's fur as he laid down beside me, setting his head on my lap, eyes shutting. My jaw dropped open, eyes wide as the two other wolves did the same, each laying around me, fur pressed up against my body.

They're warm.

Like, extremely warm.

I sighed, snuggling subconsciously into the black wolf's fur, feeling the warmth flood my body. I smiled, looking at the wolves that were resting next to me, their heads beside my lap. They were breathing deeply, their chests moving up and down.

"You're soft," I mumbled, knowing that they probably couldn't understand me. The black wolf's eyes opened, his dark blue ones meeting mine. I flashed a smile, feeling the wolf move a little closer to me, growling lowly.

This growl didn't sound menacing though. I looked at the other wolves, bringing my hand up, slowly lowering it and running my fingers through one of the dark grey wolf's fur, feeling them flinch then purr right after.

I smiled more, running my fingers through their soft fur, hearing them purr loudly. This was amazing and as dangerous as it was to have three giant, deadly wolves near me, I didn't feel as scared anymore. The black wolf kept staring at me, eyes scanning over my face.

"I wish I was a wolf. I bet you have it easy." The black wolf's ears perked up, head moving slightly to look at me better. "You don't have to deal with humans, and if you do, they'll just run away out of fear. I wish it could be like that for me."

"You don't have to worry about school and drama, your only worry is staying alive and getting food." I sighed, laying my head on the black wolf's side, my body laying on the ground now. The grey wolves purred, snuggling up next to me.

"You don't have to worry about fake friends and lies. I bet you three are friends, huh?" I smiled, looking at the wolves, seeing them look at one another. "You look out for one another. I wish I had that type of relationship with someone."

"My friends are fake," I laughed bitterly, closing my eyes as I continued to talk, a part of me hoping that maybe, just maybe, they could understand. I took a deep breath, continuing. "I have three friends. I've known them since I was a child."

"Jin's the oldest. He's a prick, honestly, but he's also like a brother to me. He claims he cares about us, but I often question it. Seems he cares for the other two before me." I sighed loudly, beginning to speak again. "I met Jin through my parents. My parents knew his parents."

"His family owns this nightclub, and they always drag me to that place. I hate it. I've been going since I was young, I think before my teenage years. That shit can ruin your childhood." I sighed again, deciding to talk about Yoongi now.

"Then there's Yoongi," I laughed, still talking aloud, just wanting to get this off my chest. "He's heartless and cold towards everyone. He's also like a brother to me, in a way. He and I haven't always been friends though, I hated him at first." I snickered, opening my eyes.

"He's such a dick. Often put me down, called me names. I got used to them, of course, but calling someone a useless retard at age eight isn't exactly a good thing." The black wolf growled, looking at me. "But Yoongi has stood up for me a few times."

"Then, there's Hoseok." I felt the anger bubbling within me, my eyes shut again. "God, Hoseok can just, ugh, can just suck a dick dude," I spat, snapping my eyes open to meet the wolf's blue ones. "He's such a fucking asshole. I share my loft with him because he's working and making enough money to pay for it. He bought me it after my parents kicked me out."

"But, my god, is he an asshole. He belittles me so fucking much and puts me down for not hanging with the cool kids. Like, I don't fucking care? I don't like drinking. I despise drugs and vowed never to do them after I saw what Hoseok went through!"

"But, no. Just because I don't get high and wasted and sleep around makes me some fucking goody two shoes. Like, fuck you, dude." I rolled my eyes, clenching my fists so tightly my knuckles were turning white. "There are these three new transfers at my school," I began, taking a deep breath.

"And one of them almost fought with Hoseok today. I don't even know the reason, but I held Hoseok back so that he wouldn't get in trouble! But no, he had to get mad that I didn't let him fight the new guy." I rolled my eyes again, scoffing.

"Hoseok would get his ass handed to him if he fought the new guy. Something about those three new transfers screams dangerous. Like, they're mysterious and they're not to be messed with." The black wolf growled slightly, eyes meeting mine.

"The leader, or at least I think he's the leader, fascinates me though. There's just something about him. Not to mention how every time I touch his skin, I feel these, I don't know, sparks? It's so insane but cool." I smiled, looking down at my hands.

"I wish I could get to know him. He seems like a really cool dude, and I just want to know why what happens, happens. Maybe he'll let me get closer one of these days." I looked at the wolves, flashing a small smile. "Either way though, I'm not hanging around those three friends of mine anytime soon."

"I'm tired of their bullshit, man. Fucking fake." The wolves growled, resting their heads on their paws except for the black wolf. His tail was curled around me, head resting on my lap. This position he was in seemed awfully protective, in some way, but I didn't seem to care.

I was alive, I was warm, and I was happy. These wolves were nice to me, they didn't kill me, and they're willing to lay beside me while I just rant out my problems. In my eyes, life couldn't be better at this very moment. I sighed contently, laying against the black wolf and shutting my eyes.

I should feel scared that these wolves were so close to me, but I didn't. I should be terrified and not as calm as I am now, but I'm not. I should run, but I want to stay. I should be scared.

Yet, for once, I felt protected.

When will Jungkook find out that there three wolves are actually the three new transfers? Haha.

Will Taehyung begin to protect Jungkook, something Jungkook has longed for ever since he can remember? Will they slowly get closer?

What about Jimin and Namjoon? Will they protect Jungkook too?

I purple you 💜
