    Summary

    After being removed from a neglectful home, eleven-year-old Jeon Jungkook is placed with a quiet family led by Kim Seokjin and Kim Namjoon. Guarded and nearly silent, he clings to the only thing that feels safe—his grandmother’s blanket—while flinching from the very care he seems to need.
    In a house that offers patience instead of pressure, Jungkook is left to face something unfamiliar: safety that doesn’t demand anything in return.
    This is a story about trust built in fragments—and the quiet, difficult act of staying.

    Summary

    “progress isn’t linear, jeongguk,” jimin tells him at some point, when he’s on the very edge of sleep and taehyung has wrapped him in a gentle embrace.

    progress isn’t linear. (which means that anxiety isn’t linear either.)

    Summary

    THIS WORK WILL BE EDITTED, EXPANDED, AND REPOSTED ON THE AO3 PAGE: APOTELENOVA BY OCTOBER 2022

    tears come to his eyes. 

    he gathers the conch in his hands carefully and withdraws his hands from the water. 

    not only does the pearly sunset shell rest tellingly in his palm, but his right arm tingles with remembrance now, and jungkook looks over to find the inked designs of his previous life materializing over his skin. the tiger flower is the first thing that catches his gaze, the scrawl of please love me encasing it in dark lines. that was the last inking he’d ever had done: the tiger flower.

    (jimin had designed it and yoongi had inked it onto his skin.)

    after letting the water drain from the conch, jungkook - without any hesitation - takes a deep breath, closes his lips around the hollow, pointed tip, and blows. 

    a low smooth bellow leaves the conch with determination, a sound that echoes through jungkook’s thoughts after he stops.

    with it, the air around jungkook vibrates incessantly and finally - 

    cracks.

    Summary

    Set in modern world where magical creatures have left or gone to hiding while humans take up more space, Jungkook manages to escape the facility deep in the woods where he was kept in and experimented on. He is taken in by six lovely but a little peculiar people while he fears for the people who kidnapped him to find him. The six people clearly have secrets of their own or they wouldn't live so rurally off the grid. Jungkook's own shadows don't want to leave him alone even though he starts falling in love.

    Summary

    After his capture, the Prince didn’t beg to be freed, he didn’t threaten them or their lives; he just sat there, tied and pathetic, completely silent.

    Namjoon wrote the letter to their dear King, Taehyung sent it off, Hoseok made sure it was delivered, and they all waited for the response. And waited. And waited.
