《FOX || P.JM》16
Advertisement
Jimin twists and turns around on Taehee's bed, his body covered with the huge blanket as she works on her new book at her study table.
He is bored out of his mind since the boys are busy working on their music and had ushered him out of their room.
His original plan of staying quiet and obedient is now abandoned as he starts whining, desperately trying to gain her attention.
Taehee groans and turns on her chair, frustrated at the thought of not being able to submit her draft on time. She sends glares to the sulking fox, who has his ears drooped as he lays back down on the bed and quietly looks at her with his glassy eyes.
Taehee is conflicted, but she really can't slack off anymore. She sighs and looks at Jimin again with a soft look, "Jimin-ah, I really can't play around until I finish my work. I promise I'll be right back with you once I complete this, okay?"
Jimin nods. He's just glad that she isn't mad. He continues watching her work until a familiar sound tingles his eardrums.
The piano.
With the speed of light, he jumps out of bed and darts downstairs towards it.
Sitting there on the slightly worn out piano stool is Yoongi, who is drunken by his own playing. He had his eyes closed, his body swaying slightly at the rhythm.
Jimin paces over and lays down beside the stool. Each key and note seem to have formed a black hole, sucking him in, engulfing him.
He was lost as he melted into the music.
Yoongi's playing is perpetual, not allowing his fingers to rest for even a second.
Jimin had only realized that he had been there for a while when he felt his paws slowly getting numb, screaming for more blood to flow through. He shifts a little but doesn't move away from where he sat.

"Want a duet?"
A voice comes from behind, making Yoongi stop playing and turn around. Taehee grins at him and raises an eyebrow while she motioned piano playing with her fingers.
Yoongi playfully smugs at her and shrugs, "Well, depends on whether you can keep up with me or not."
She scoffs and moves over to sit down beside him, resting her fingers on the higher keys.
"Don't you dare underestimate me, turtle."
Jimin cocks his head to one side as he watches the two.
What are they doing?
Then, the music created by the two shuts his line of thoughts off. How the two playings perfectly merged into one made it even more beautiful, complete, mesmerizing.
But soon as Jimin stares at Yoongi, admiration turns into jealousy and envy.
If I am a human, I would've been the one playing with her now. If only I am.
"Hyung-"
Just then, Jungkook comes out of the room to inform his hyung about the task he asked them to do.
He stops dead in his track and watches as the two plays in perfect synchronization. He feels the muscles in his chest tighten, all of a sudden, it felt harder to breathe.
He swiftly turns on his heels and walks back into the room. Hoseok and Taehyung eye him as he plops down in his seat with a loud thud.
"Jungkook-"
"Hyung, I think you should go instead."
"Oh... okay."
Taehyung hesitantly stands up from his seat and walks out of the room, making eye contact with Hoseok on his way.
The older male didn't say anything as he eyes the younger.
Seeing how the boy pokes the insides of his cheek with his tongue, being his usual caring self, Hoseok knows that he must've been jealous of his hyung again.

He couldn't help but chuckle at the two clueless best friends of his.
"Yah, Jeon Jungkook. Are you jealous of Yoongi hyung again?" He asks as he cocks one of his eyebrows.
The younger's eyes widen as he waves his hands frantically in denial.
"What? No! Oh, no no no! Why would I be jealous? I-I mean, they're just having a duet, right? There's nothing to be jealous of!" His heart rate increases, face turns as red as a tomato, and he is sweating as if he just came out from the shower.
Hoseok smirks at him as he inches closer. "So... You're admitting at you were jealous?" Emphasizing the 'were', he teases.
Jungkook is dumbfounded. He stares at his hyung nervously as he tries to come up with some excuse, but none came to his mind.
Just admit it, you wimp.
"Fine. Yes, hyung... I like her, a lot." He mumbles, head down, shoulders slumped as if admitting defeat. However, the words that Hoseok calmly says next makes his eyes widen and jaw drop.
"I know that."
"W-what? How?!"
"You're too obvious, Jungkook. Who stares at a person they don't like twenty-four seven and secretly puts chocolate milk in their mailbox every morning?" He laughs. He found Jungkook's reaction amusing, but the fact that they had a secret crush on each other amused him even more.
"Jungkook-ah. Let me tell you something. Yoongi hyung sees Taehee as nothing more than a close friend. You have a very high chance,
so you better man up and tell her."

The Ruins of Magincia
They say all things end in time, but the exalted City of Magi would’ve begged to differ. Yet when an attempted coup goes wrong, the city finds itself brought to the very brink of destruction. In the wake of the calamity that left no survivors, the autonomous infrastructure still operating the ruined city seeks to restore what was lost. Luckily for it, the Mana-devoid Universe it awoke in holds an unexpected surprise: a planet full of sentient life forms. All capable—with a little help—to become the next generation of Magi. Back on Earth, Millie McArthur is a pregnant out-of-work mechanic struggling with the prospect of moving back in with her parents after leaving her unfaithful fiancé. That is until she finds herself just one of the hundreds that have been shanghaied by the callous artificial constructs still manning the ruins of Magincia. Now, she must struggle to learn magic, compete for resources, get good 'grades,' and fulfill the seemingly arbitrary requirements for her future job in this broken city. All while keeping herself, and her son, alive. Is the miracle of magic really enough to make up for all the pain? The Ruins of Magincia is a dark fantasy that's heavy on the drama (LitRPG aspects are very light). Chapter lengths can be anywhere from 7k-12k and there's no current release schedule as I'm focusing on wrapping up volume one.

Re: (Union//Incarnation)
Two years ago, a meteor fell and decimated the southeastern lands of Gaia, turning them into wastelands constantly shrouded in white fog. None of those who saw the blazing calamity with their own eyes lived to tell the tale, and those who attempted to venture in never came back. Since then, towers, caverns, and ruins have appeared and disappeared without a pattern. Those who were brave enough to venture in were rewarded with a partner capable of defying the natural laws as humanity knows it. People started to call them ‘Incarnation’, and before long, more and more Incarnation were gathered and sold as commodity, especially after a billionaire has sponsored a fighting tournament offering cash prizes to those possessing the strongest Incarnation, spurring the greedy and desperate to hunt for the fabled creatures at the cost of their lives. Claire Saphira wanted none of that. She simply wished for a life where she could live without worry of her own survival. As she ran from the debt collectors for the umpteenth time, she was swallowed by an errant tower, where she saw a frail, pale-skinned girl with ashen hair hung by chains. It was a chance, a chance to participate in the tournament and live without worrying about survival. Yet, something nagged in the back of her mind. Why did she look so familiar? Planned release schedule: One chapter every day for Mon-Fri, and a break on Sat-Sun. The release will slow down at some point, but most likely won't go under 3 chapters a week.
