"Jungkook you are in Lunar"Jin said softly, watching the boy's confused expression carefully.

Jungkook blinked, looking up at him. "Lunar? I haven't heard of a place in Korea... where is it situated?" His voice was laced with curiosity, still trying to piece together the strange situation he found himself in.

Jin sighed, knowing this wouldn't be easy to explain. "Jungkook, Lunar is not on Earth. It's a different realm altogether. You've crossed over through a portal."

Jungkook stared at him, wide-eyed and silent, as if trying to absorb the information. Seeing no reaction, Jin continued, his tone more serious now.

"In this realm, humans are rare. There are werewolves, witches, vampires... all kinds of supernatural beings. You've been brought here because you have a mate here, Jungkook."Jungkook still didn't respond. His gaze remained fixed on Jin, not blinking once. Jin noticed the lack of reaction and gently shook his shoulder. "Jungkook?"

The boy blinked, coming back to the present, and then sighed heavily. "I'm getting new types of dreams now," he mumbled, almost to himself. "It's the first time I'm dreaming about something other than someone stealing my nana milk or it getting banned in Korea. And I die from a heart attack because of the news. I'm improving..."

Jin raised an eyebrow at the odd statement, but Jungkook wasn't finished. He nodded to himself, his eyes slowly closing. "I should sleep so I can wake up and not be late for work," Jungkook said, a serious expression on his face, before he curled up in the bed, shutting his eyes.

Jin and Jennie exchanged a glance, both of them unsure how to handle the situation. Jungkook seemed to be in some sort of denial, but Jin decided to give him a moment.

Jennie, always practical, leaned forward and gently shook Jungkook's shoulder. "Jungkook, you're not dreaming. This is real. You're in Lunar now, and you need to accept that."

Jungkook's eyes fluttered open, and he stared at Jennie blankly before shaking his head. "No, I'm still dreaming," he muttered. "I'm sure of it."

Jin, now more serious, leaned in. "Jungkook, this isn't a dream. It's real. You're in a new world now. This is Lunar."

Jungkook sat up straight, his face flushed with confusion. "No... this can't be happening," he whispered to himself, as if trying to make sense of the words. He looked between Jin and Jennie, trying to find a hint of something that would explain it away as a joke.

Seeing their serious faces, he finally asked, "How can I go back to my place?"

Jin's expression softened slightly. "You can't go back, Jungkook. Humans can come to Lunar through the portal, but you can't go back the other way. There's no way back for you."

The words hit Jungkook like a punch to the gut. He was stuck here. He was stranded in a world he didn't understand, and he had no idea what to do with that knowledge.

Jin placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "I know this is hard, but we need you to accept it. Take your time, but you need to adjust. Jennie will get you some breakfast. Afterward, I'll take you to the town, where I've arranged a place for you to stay."

Jungkook nodded, though his thoughts were far away. The weight of everything was settling in, and he wasn't sure how to feel. Still, he felt strangely calm in the presence of Jin. Maybe it was the way he spoke, or the warmth in his eyes.

"Leave where?" Jungkook asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

"To the town," Jin said with a gentle smile. "You'll be staying there for now. Once we travel, we'll talk about everything in more detail."Jungkook nodded again, still lost in his thoughts.

--------------------

Later that day, the two of them were driving toward the city. The journey had been long, and Jungkook had been quiet ever since they left the building. He had so many questions running through his mind, but he didn't know where to begin. He was still trying to accept the fact that he wasn't on Earth anymore.

After an hour of silence, Jungkook finally broke it.

"You told me that humans are rare here," he said, his voice soft. "So... are you a human too?" He was still struggling to understand the world around him, and Jin's response could give him some clarity.

Jin smiled, glancing over at him. "No, I'm a werewolf," he replied easily, a teasing glint in his eye.Jungkook made an "O" shape with his mouth and turned back to look out the window, the information sinking in. Werewolves. Vampires. Witches. This place was a far cry from Earth.

A thought crossed Jungkook's mind, and he glanced at Jin shyly. "Can I... can I call you hyung?" he asked, unsure if it was appropriate.

Jin's grin widened. "Of course, you can," he replied warmly. "But I'm going to call you 'Bunny.' You look like."Jungkook's cheeks flushed a light pink, and he shyly smiled. "Then... I'll call you 'Pretty Hyung.' You look so pretty," he said, almost too softly.

Jin laughed, the sound rich and genuine. "Oh god, you're too much, Bunny. You're going to make me melt," he teased.

Jungkook grinned widely, feeling more at ease. As they continued the ride, the conversation drifted to various topics about Lunar. Jungkook asked questions about mates, supernaturals, and how everything worked in this strange new realm. Jin patiently answered each one, his explanations more thoughtful than Jungkook expected.

"Pretty Hyung," Jungkook said, after a long pause. "How old are you? I haven't asked you that."Jin raised an eyebrow, amused. "I'm 125 years old," he replied.

Jungkook's eyes widened, and his mouth dropped open slightly. He blinked rapidly, unable to believe what he was hearing. "You're... 125 years old?" His voice was almost a whisper.

Jin chuckled, clearly enjoying Jungkook's reaction. "Yeah, here, aging is different from Earth, Bunny," he explained. "It's not like you'd expect. I'm not actually that old in this realm."

Jungkook blinked at him, his eyes still wide. "But... you're still so pretty."

Jin narrowed his eyes playfully. "I'm not old, Bunny," he said with a teasing smirk. "I'm just timeless."

--------------

Eventually, their long trip came to an end when the car stopped in front of a building. Jin opened the door and stepped out, followed by Jungkook, who looked around nervously. The building was modern, but had an air of mystery to it, like it belonged in this magical world."This is the place where you'll stay until you find your mate," Jin explained, leading Jungkook inside.

They took the elevator to the second floor, and Jungkook followed Jin like a lost bunny, still overwhelmed by everything. Jin opened the door to an apartment with a code and let them in."This is where you'll be staying," Jin said as he led Jungkook inside.

The apartment was small but cozy, with an open kitchen, a bedroom, and a balcony that offered a breathtaking view of the city. There was a couch, a small dining area, and a comfortable chair, all arranged neatly.

"Do you like it?" Jin asked with a smile.

"I love it, Pretty Hyung," Jungkook replied, his bunny smile returning.Just then, the door opened, and an older woman walked in, bowing politely. "Mr. Kim, I'm so sorry I wasn't here to welcome you earlier," she said, turning to Jungkook with a kind smile. "You must be Jungkook."

Jungkook blushed and smiled shyly, returning the woman's greeting.

"This is Miss Song," Jin explained. "She takes care of the place. Humans who come from Earth stay here until they find their mates." He turned to Miss Song. "Miss Song, this is Jungkook. He arrived yesterday."

"Nice to meet you, Jungkook," Miss Song said warmly, reaching over to pinch his cheek playfully. "You're so cute."

Jungkook's face turned bright red, and he stammered, "T-thank you."

"Jungkook," Jin continued, "If you need anything, Miss Song will help you. There's food for the week in the kitchen, and you can cook if you want. If not, she'll help you out."

"No need, Pretty Hyung," Jungkook said with a smile. "I know how to cook."

Jin smiled, clearly pleased. "Good. Your food and clothing will be covered here, but for other things, you'll have to earn it. There's a restaurant and a café nearby where humans work. If you want, you can work there too."

"I'll work at the café," Jungkook said with a determined nod. "I've worked at one before."

"Alright, I'll make the arrangements"

Jin sat across from Jungkook, his tone turning serious as he gestured for the younger male to sit on the sofa. Once they were alone, Jin's eyes softened but his words were firm.

"Bunny, there's something important we need to talk about," Jin began, his gaze steady.

 "By smelling you, I know that you're a special male."

Jungkook blinked, his heart racing. The words were too much to process. He had always hidden his special traits on Earth, wearing baggy clothes to conceal them. The teasing and bullying had scarred him, and now, in this strange world, Jin's revelation made him feel exposed.

"You can't hide it here," Jin continued gently, noticing the shock in Jungkook's eyes. "Everyone here can smell you. Your scent is unique. You need to be careful and protect yourself."

Jungkook's voice trembled. "Are they going to bully me like they did on Earth?"

"No," Jin reassured, his expression softening. "No one will bully you. I'm telling you this because you're going to have a lot of admirers here. But you can't get close to anyone other than your mate. Trust me on this, Bunny."

Jungkook nodded, but his mind was still swirling. Jin's voice grew serious again."Some people might try to claim you, to possess you. You'll need to be careful. Not everyone here has good intentions."

Jungkook's eyes filled with concern. 

Jin stood, placing a reassuring hand on Jungkook's shoulder. "You're not alone here. I'm always just a call away. Miss Song will give you a phone. Use it when you need help, even if it's just to talk."

Jungkook managed a small smile, though his heart was still heavy with uncertainty. Jin gave him one last, encouraging smile before heading out.

"Stay safe, Bunny. And remember, you'll find your mate soon."

Jin left the apartment, his footsteps echoing softly as the door clicked shut behind him. Before leaving, he had given Jungkook the password to the apartment and reminded him once again that if he needed anything, he could always call.

But now, alone in the quiet apartment, Jungkook sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the wall. His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, each one colliding with the next, leaving him more lost than before. This wasn't how he imagined his life going. One moment he was living a simple life on Earth, struggling with the little things—like keeping his nana milk safe—and the next, he was in a completely different realm, surrounded by supernatural creatures, with no way to return.

He wasn't sad to be here. After all, there was no one waiting for him back on Earth. His parents had abandoned him when he was too young to understand why. Growing up in the orphanage, he had learned to survive on his own, never relying on anyone. And even now, he wasn't sure if he could trust anyone enough to depend on them.

Jungkook shifted slightly on the sofa, his thoughts turning inward. 'What if my mate abandons me too?' The thought gnawed at him like a persistent ache. He had never been good at letting people in. His parents' rejection had left scars that no one could see, and now the idea of meeting someone who might... leave him again, it terrified him.

He sighed and closed his eyes, trying to clear his mind. He needed a break from the chaos of it all—the strange new world, the unfamiliar customs, and the pressure of finding someone he could trust. His brain was overwhelmed with questions he couldn't answer. 'Would he even find his mate here? Was there a reason he'd been sent to Lunar, or was it just a mistake?'

With one last, exhausted sigh, Jungkook leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes. His body was tired, but his mind refused to let go.

'What if he is just like my parents? What if they don't want me either?'A heaviness settled in his chest as those thoughts circled like dark clouds.

 'What if I never find him?'

He reached for the blanket on the arm of the couch, wrapping himself up tightly, as if trying to shield himself from the uncertainty around him. His hands shook slightly as he pulled the covers closer, but soon enough, the warmth of the blanket drown him to sleep.
