♤6

It was nothing like I had imagined. There was no slow stretch of limbs, growth of fangs and fur. It all happened so quickly, that in the blink of an eye, in one sharp gasp, in one heart beat, the boy I knew for years had transformed into an wolf.

From the shadows he came, his body hunkered low to the ground. I watched, my own limbs frozen in place. Despite his proximity there was no sound. I didn't know whether I should be referring to the creature before me as 'him' or 'it' anymore.

The wolf observed in a way a dog never could. It had the eyes of an adult, a creature who came as a superior, but never my "best friend." In the moon light that fell so casually on the clearing, his fur was mostly grey. Around his black nose was a splash of white, and on top a stripe of greyish silver. He was bigger than any dog I had ever seen and any wolf I had ever imagined.

The wolf approached me, his movements fluid and without apparent effort; he was standing a few metres in front of me and from how quickly he moved, I could judge that his limbs were the finest machines ever made. I stood frozen still, observing the animal, as if it weren't real, as if it was an adventurous dream.

Now that he was completely exposed to the moonlight, his fur was as white as snow, except for those strands of silver around his perched ears and on the face. His fur was short over his body and longer at the neck, smooth and shiny. His stance was confident and body muscular, bulky and big.

He lowered himself, bringing his shoulder blades down, the grass brushing against his tummy as if asking me to approach him, touch him which I couldn't bring myself to do. Not yet. Not ever.

Fear etched on every inch of my skin and crawled it's way up my body and I couldn't even move, it was a shock and my body couldn't take it. I slumped down to the ground, fisting the grass, drawing my knees closer to my chest, the only words leaving my lips were, "Jungkook.." it was a faint whisper but I knew he heard it, because the next second, the wolf distanced itself from me, heading back to the shadows, disappearing from my sight.

I stared into the dark, my eyes focused in the direction it headed and within seconds, Jungkook was back in my field of vision. He was shirtless and the only thing he was wearing were his cargo shorts.

"Chae" he called out, taking quick strides towards me and I scrambled backwards, away from him.

"Don't touch me" I uttered, fear still intact, my heart was still in my throat.

"It's me" he paused, taking my hand in his and resting my palm against his abdomen, " see, it's me. Please calm down Chae your heart is beating too fast" he said, trying his best to pull me closer but I resisted, still not able to register the fact that my best friend is a fucking wolf.

"You're sweating too much" he placed a hand against the side of my cheek. He stood up and pulled me up onto my feet as well.

"Take me home" I mumbled, eyes on the ground.

"I will" he assured, "Look at me" he cupped my face in his hands tilting my head upwards, making me look at him, "please don't be afraid of me".

"You shitty dog" I scolded, my voice still quieter than usual. He chuckled, before pulling me into a hug, his bare chest against my cheek. It was unusual because I never hugged him when he was half naked but I couldn't bring myself to care about it at this point. I held onto him tight,my heart still beating faster than ever, my back drenched in sweat.

"You scared the fuck out of me" I uttered against his chest to which he only laughed.

"I warned you, idiot" he tightened his grip around me, "I thought you'd scream and shit. Thank god you didn't".

I smacked his chest, "You're one ugly dog". He was beautiful but I'd never tell him that.

"Wolf, not dog" he corrected, letting me go.

"Whatever, take me home puppie boy" I laughed.

"Don't call me that!" he furrowed his eyebrows and cringed making me giggle more.

I rubbed my hands due to the cool breeze which suddenly seemed to affect me. My teeth chattered and goosebumps rose. "Here" kook handed me his hoodie and I rose my eyebrows at him.

"First you scare the shit out of me and then you lend me your hoodie?" I mocked. He shrugged, shoving it in my hands and getting onto his bike. I handed him his hoodie back and forced him to put it on because hell it was too chilly to be naked.

The ride back home was almost similar to our ride from home earlier, the only difference was that I was clinging onto him tighter because I felt like my limbs were frozen and my head hurt a lot. I wasn't surprised at my quickened heart rate because I was still scared, still not believing the sight I got to encounter today.

Once we reached my place, Jungkook bid me bye and when I tried turning the knob to the front door, it was locked. That's when I realised.

"Is it locked?" He asked, waiting for me to go in so he could go home.

"You locked it from the inside before you closed the door dumbass" I reminded him and he laughed, clapping his hands as if it was the funniest thing ever while I searched for the joke.

"Umm..I'll help you out" he grinned and I narrowed my eyes at him. What was he thinking?

In one swift motion Jungkook picked me up and tossed me onto his back such that it looked like he was about to give me a piggy back ride. "What are you doing?" I asked and he thew his signature line at me, "hold on tight Chae" and I did.

He climbed up the tree that was strongly rooted next to my house and smoothly jumped towards the building, holding onto the open window.

"Wait! When did you get mesh attached to your window?" he asked, adjusting me on his back as he held both of us up with one arm.

" It's been there since ages"

"How do we get in now?" He asked and I slapped his shoulder, "How do I know? It's all your fault."

He groaned before gripping the thick metal grill  tightly in one hand and ripped it off.

"Holy shit!" I yelled, but Jungkook was quick to shush me. The mesh was torn off from the centre and it looked like a stencil.

"You don't freak out when I turn into a wolf, but you freak out when I damage your window for good" he sighed.

The remainder of it made me shudder again, he was a wolf and I had to accept it. I tucked myself in bed immediately seeking warmth and mumbled out a good night. Jungkook stood there looking at me as I curled, hugging the thick comforter close to my chest.

After what seemed like forever,Kook closed the windows and approached me, squatting down next to my bed to place the back of his hand against my forehead.

"You're burning" he mused, and I opened my eyes, "am I?" I wondered.

"You feeling cold?" He asked, and I responded with a not at all, even though the hair on the back of my neck hurt from how frozen I was.

He rolled his eyes, obviously catching onto my lie as he tucked himself in bed next to me.

"What're you doing?" I questioned, shifting in bed but doing nothing to stop him.

"Warming you up" he replied as he made himself comfortable and pulled me against his chest. And boy did he warm me up. It felt like conduction, the flow of heat from his body to mine was observable.

His grip around my shoulder tightened and I snuggled in closer, but the image of his fangs, sharp claws were imprinted in my brain. There was a long silence, I kept my eyes shut trying so hard to sleep but couldn't.  I couldn't do it with constant images and unnecessary doubts flooding my mind.

"Have trouble sleeping?" his voice was raspy but he didn't really sound sleepy. Jungkook usually fell asleep before I did and I was surprised to find him awake.

I nodded to his question, wrapping my arm around his torso and holding him close. He felt so so warm and comfortable, I could stay like this forever.

"You should try imagining me with bunny ears" he said and I tilted my head to look up at him.

"Seriously?" I laughed to which he only nodded and gave me the bunny smile of his that I adored the most.

I grinned before returning to my previous position on his chest, eyes closed and wrapped around by him.

He hummed a slow tune, running his hand up and down my back soothingly before tangling his fingers in my hair at the back of my head. His fingers were unusually hot against my scalp as he massaged it gently and I was deep asleep before I even knew.
