Amidst a Sea of Questions

Taehyung stood motionless, his heart sinking as he watched her retreat. Y/n had fled, leaving him rooted in a storm of confusion and self-recrimination. Of course, she was scared—scarred even. A confession like his could leave anyone baffled. For weeks, he’d felt the bond between them growing stronger, her trust in him beginning to bloom. And then he had to go and shatter it all by revealing the truth.

But how could he keep her in the dark? Hiding his identity, pretending to be one person while secretly being another—that would have been the ultimate deceit. He knew what it felt like to be judged by those who didn’t know the real him. He couldn’t bear to build a relationship on a foundation of lies.

What would be the point of being with someone if the connection was a facade, destined to crumble under the weight of unspoken truths? A lie could destroy everything he hoped to create with her. The truth, harsh as it was, would set them free.

Taehyung’s chest tightened as his thoughts spiraled. He couldn’t know what she was feeling, what she was thinking, because she hadn’t yet accepted him fully. A whirlwind of emotions churned inside him. He could only hope she’d choose him, flaws and all. Yet the possibility of her rejection loomed like a shadow, threatening to leave him hollow—an empty shell without a soul.

Would she leave him? Could she ever accept him for what he was? Each question clawed at him, sending jolts of dread through his entire being.

Y/n's Turmoil

Y/n paced her room, her thoughts a tangled web of disbelief and fear. My teacher is a werewolf—and he loves me. The words echoed in her mind, each repetition more surreal than the last. This couldn’t be real. It wasn’t real. Was it?

A monster disguised as a man.

Was he a monster, though? Who was she to decide? She only knew him as her teacher, not as a person—not the man behind the secret. And yet, wasn’t she guilty of judging without truly understanding?

His world was so far removed from hers, yet just as real. A world hidden beneath the surface, vulnerable and raw. Werewolves, myths, and legends—were they truths buried under centuries of disbelief? Or was this all an elaborate lie, one that could pull her into something far darker than she was ready for?

She squeezed her eyes shut, her mind spinning. This was a mess—a chaotic, incomprehensible mess. Was she ready to leap into the unknown without a safety net, fueled by nothing but trust and faith?

That’s what he asked of her, wasn’t it? To accept him for who he was.

But how could she? How could she think clearly when every thought of him sent her heart into a dizzying race? His confession had shattered the fragile reality she’d known, leaving her teetering on the edge of something terrifying and beautiful.

If she chose to accept him, she’d be stepping into a world of uncertainty—a life filled with questions, challenges, and risks. But if she turned away, she’d lose him, and the thought of life without him made her chest ache with a pain she wasn’t ready to face.

Her choice wasn’t just about him—it was about her. Could she live a life of blissful moments with the man who made her heart race, or would she let fear drive her into a darkness deeper than any night, haunted by what could have been?

Her heart warred with her mind.

She didn’t believe in love. She never had—until Taehyung walked into her life and turned everything upside down in a single moment.

And now she had to decide:

Would she choose love, vulnerability, and the promise of a life unlike anything she’d ever imagined?

Or would she let fear win, walking away from the man who saw her for everything she was and still chose her above all else?

Her choice, her future, hung in the balance.

Then her choice is……
