AUTHOR'S POV

After a long exhausting race, everybody fell on the grass under the sky dappled with clouds, huffing out deep breaths, sweating heavily.

Taehyung suggested to have a race and everyone agreed. He also wanted to see the stamina of the Blood moon king. So Taehyung, Jungkook, Yibo, and Yoongi were about to start the game when the girls, Y/N, Solar, and Moonbyul came and joined them as well.

The top three runner ups were Jungkook-1st, Taehyung-2nd, and Y/N-3rd. Though there wasn't a big difference between Taehyung and Y/N. Also, Jungkook and Y/N were weak but still, they did it.

They all rest on their backs and let their eyes gaze upward, enjoying that view and relaxing themselves trying to catch up with their unstable breaths.

“Great job Jungkook, you were incredibly awesome!” Taehyung said between his breaths.

“Yeah, I know!” Jungkook replied as everyone laughed.

Suddenly Moonbyul jumped up fixing her hair and clothes, “Let's play a game!”

Everyone else jumped up too and sat straight with their eyes fixed on Moonbyul, except Yoongi who was still laying on the ground. Moonbyul playfully but still enough to get him sitting up, slapped his cheeks as he hissed in pain before getting up.

“That hurts!” Yoongi rubbed his cheeks giving her an annoyed look.

“I know, that's why I slapped you Mr. Sleepy ass!” Moonbyul laughed mockingly along with others.

“You--” She cut him off.

“Ok guys so the game is known as Questions and commands. First, anyone who wants to start the game will choose a person he wants to play with. Then, he'll have to think of one question and one command. Questions can be anything, like literally ANYTHING and about commands, you've to perform them.” Moonbyul explained everybody and they looked attentively at her.

“One of his index finger and middle finger will be a question and the other one will be a command.” She showed her first two fingers.

“But, you won't know which one's which. You have to choose between those two fingers and then do the given task! Finish! Got it? Any questions?” She raised her eyebrows asking if anyone didn't get the rules.

"Sounds fun!" Yibo beamed and they all scooted near in a circle as the game started.

"I'll start then!" Solar clapped excitedly and raised her hand towards Taehyung telling him to choose one of her fingers as Taehyung chose her index one and she squealed in happiness, "10 push-ups go on!"

Everyone looked at her like what the hell is wrong with her while Taehyung smirked like a psychopath.

"My dear sister you should have asked for something else." Moonbyul said hitting Solar's shoulder playfully.

"Oh dear you've never seen him doing push-ups, all sweaty and that's why you're saying that." Solar answered and Moonbyul's eyes widened while she stared at Taehyung telling him to start.

"You seriously want me on a public display?" Taehyung frowned his eyebrows while solar shrugged.

"No!" Yoongi closed Moonbyul's eyes with his palm while she struggled for him to let go, "Oh come on let me see!"

Yoongi hissed when she successfully removed his hands, and Taehyung stood up to complete his command. He removed his upper clothes while his body glistened with sweat from all that running.

Authors : "Damnnn a sight worth more than our whole life."

"I'll count!" With each push-up Solar, moonbyul, Yibo counted together while Jungkook was busy staring intensely at Y/N and she kept her head low.

“My turn! Ok so umm…Jungkook!” Yibo extended his two fingers towards Jungkook while having an evil smirk plastered on his lips. Jungkook let out a scoff and chose his index finger.

And then Yibo started laughing like he won some kind of war to which everyone looked at him weirdly.

“What? What's with that sudden laugh man?” Jungkook eyed him up and down.

“It's a question!” Yibo answered between his laughs.

“Ask ahead then if you're done laughing!” Jungkook irritatedly scowled at him.

“Ok then. Do you like Y/N?” Yibo asked as everyone looked at him all stunned & shocked and Y/N was the most shocked one there while Yibo continued to look at Jungkook.

Jungkook averted his gaze slowly towards his Y/N, eyes glistening with pure love and longing towards her. While on the other hand, Y/N was panicking inside. Her heart hammering her chest as she was afraid of Jungkook's answer.

“What will he say? Will he reveal that I'm his mate? No no he won't, please don't Jungkook!” Y/N thought.

Jungkook was continuously staring at Y/N and the others were impatiently waiting for his answer when he suddenly let out, “No!”

“I don't like her, I love her, She's my mate, only mine!” Jungkook thought.

Everyone sighed in relief and Y/N as well but she felt disappointed somehow. Deep inside she really wants to know if he really likes her or he's behaving like this just because he's suffering due to her being his mate?

She wanted the answer but this was not the right time she thought and sadly smiled which Jungkook obviously noticed.

“Ok ok now my turn!” Moonbyul excitedly clapped her hands together, “Y/N, choose!” She extended her fingers towards her and Y/N thought a little but then chose her middle finger.

“Yeyy! You got a command! Do a staring contest with Jungkook for 2 minutes!” Moonbyul exclaimed as Y/N gulped hard and Jungkook smirked internally.

“C'mon take your positions guys, hurry up!” Solar signaled from her hands towards Jungkook and Y/N to turn towards each other and scoot closer.

Y/N hesitatingly turned towards him. She scooted a little bit near him while Jungkook literally sat in front of her, their knees touching, not leaving a gap of even an inch.

Well, Jungkook doesn't know what a gap is right?

“So in the count of 3, you'll start, okay?” Moonbyul asked looking at the two earning a nod from each in return.

“1...2...and 3!”

The competition between them started. Y/N again started feeling a strange force, a strange power controlling her moves and emotions. She tried to look into his eyes but couldn't, so she moved her eyes up, down, right, left but not straight in his eyes still making sure she doesn't blink.

While there was Jungkook following her gaze wherever she looks, if she looks right then right, if she looks left then left. And he was also getting frustrated over Y/N not looking at him.

Both of their eyes were hurting but none of them blinked and everyone's eyes were fixed on them.

“What the fuck is wrong with him? What the hell did I do to deserve this? I want to look into his eyes but I can't, I really can't and he's literally following my gaze not leaving for once! I guess I should lose! That's much better than suffering like this!”

Y/N thought in her mind before intentionally blinking her eyes as everyone's excitement broke and they made some sad kind of sounds in defeat. They all were expecting Y/N to win over Jungkook since she never lost when it came to staring.

“What the hell! You never lost in staring competitions Y/N, that's why I chose you!” Moonbyul whined as Y/N hissed realising Moonbyul just spat out everything and Jungkook looked at Y/N in bewilderment.

“Oh so now looking into your mate's eyes is like a punishment that you're fucking intensionally losing! Wow! Just wow! Tell me why it is happening to me? What sin did I do that I'm suffering like this?”

“Here I'm trying my best to get her attention but she's trying to ignore me like I don't really exist! Like seriously wtf! why!? Am I that ugly that she isn't accepting me as her mate huh? I'm the Blood Moon King! And she's making a joke of it!”

Jungkook cursed in his thoughts and he was biting his lips continuously staring at Y/N, anger building up inside him.

“For fuck's sake will you calm down Jungkook! This isn't a place to show your anger. Everybody is here and if you don't stop then you'll be a joke for real. So please just control, at least for now.” Frost said trying to cool down Jungkook's anger so he listened to his wolf and took a deep breath calming himself down and forcing a smile.

“Well I guess winning from the Blood Moon King is really hard!” Yoongi said.

“Indeed! Even Y/N, the champion of staring, couldn't stand him!” Taehyung looked at Y/N and then Jungkook to which he knowingly shrugged before proceeding with his words.

“Let me have the turn then, Y/N choose!” Jungkook stretched out his two fingers towards Y/N to choose and she became stiff at her place. Her every limb felt numb and controlled over. She tried to lift up her hand opposite of her will and her hand starting shaking. She tried to pull it up but couldn't, there was a battle going inside her.

Jungkook noticed the struggle she was going through as he frowned before looking at either of his sides and saw the others absorbed in themselves. He took the opportunity and held Y/N's hand, helping her so she could hold one of his fingers, she held the index one.

And as soon as she chose, Jungkook left her hand as it fell back into her arm like a supernatural power pulled it back. He got confused but tried to act normal.

“Okay, everybody! She has got to answer my one question!” Jungkook chimed catching everyone's attention.

“So Y/N, Out of every male present here, if you got a chance, who would you wish to be your mate?” Jungkook asked out of his curiosity but still tried to sound normal and hiding his evil smile.

“Wow! I see you got some mind Jungkook.” Frost complimented Jungkook.

“I know I'm smart!” Jungkook smirked and everyone waited for Y/N to answer the very amazing question Jungkook just asked but Y/N felt like someone snatched away her voice.

She was trying her best to speak but none of the words were forming. She was gulping continuously and Jungkook saw the uneasiness in her. He was about to speak when our beloved baby Yibo chimed up hugging Y/N from the side.

“Ofcourse me! Who else? We're best friends after all and we're close too. Right Y/N?” Yibo looked at her expecting her to say something but she didn't respond, just smiling a little forcefully but her inside was flipping over.

“It's ok if you're not comfortable to say it, sweetie!” Yibo ruffled her hair and on the other side Jungkook was burning in jealousy, his fists were tightly balled, his face turning red in anger as he poked his inner cheek, biting harshly.
