Eternally Yours - Story of Curse
jungkook
This is my second story, a creation that comes straight from my heart and imagination. If you enjoy it, I would truly appreciate your love and support. Your encouragement means the world to me.
Name: Jungkook
Age: 22
Occupation: University student, majoring in Art History
Jungkook has a natural charm that draws people in effortlessly. His dark, expressive eyes often seem lost in thought, as if he’s constantly analyzing the world around him for hidden patterns and beauty. He keeps his hair slightly tousled, giving him a carefree yet stylish vibe. His casual wardrobe—oversized sweaters, jeans, and worn-in sneakers—belies his sophisticated taste in art and detail.
Personality:
Jungkook is fun-loving and playful, often teasing his friends with witty banter. He has an infectious laughter that lightens the mood even in tense situations. Despite his humor, he is deeply observant and thoughtful, noticing details others might overlook—a skill that makes him a prodigy in art history.
He is passionate and talented, particularly in sketching and painting. He can capture emotions in his art in a way that feels almost magical, often drawing inspiration from historical art pieces, nature, or fleeting moments in everyday life. His professors praise his creativity, while his friends admire his ability to make even mundane activities feel adventurous.
Hobbies & Traits:
Loves exploring museums, galleries, and hidden street art.
Has a habit of sketching in his notebook anytime inspiration strikes.
Playful and mischievous, but fiercely loyal to those he cares about.
Curious by nature, always asking questions and seeking to understand the stories behind everything.
Overall Impression:
Jungkook is the kind of person who makes the world feel brighter. He balances fun and levity with immense talent and passion, and though he seems lighthearted, there’s a depth to him—a sensitivity and empathy that draws people (and fated ancient souls) close without effort.
Jungkook’s Close Friends:
1. Jimin (22) – Jungkook’s best friend since childhood.
Personality: Warm, cheerful, and endlessly supportive. Jimin has a way of reading Jungkook’s moods instantly and teasing him in a way that makes Jungkook laugh even when he’s stressed. He’s a social butterfly, often dragging Jungkook to events or gatherings, much to Jungkook’s playful annoyance.
Role in the Story: Jimin is Jungkook’s confidant. He notices Jungkook’s distraction and curiosity about the supernatural happenings around him and often encourages him to explore, even if it means getting into trouble.
Namjoon (23) – Jungkook’s crush and senior university student, majoring in Literature.
Personality: Calm, intelligent, and enigmatic, Namjoon exudes a quiet charisma that draws people in. He has a deep love for ancient texts and poetry, which resonates with Jungkook’s artistic sensibilities. He’s thoughtful and perceptive, often making Jungkook feel both nervous and inspired.
Role in the Story: Namjoon is the “heart-throb” in Jungkook’s life—the one he secretly admires. Jungkook is drawn to Namjoon’s intellect and passion for history, seeing him as someone who understands the depth and beauty of the world. However, Jungkook hasn’t confessed his feelings, so there’s a layer of tension and longing.
Jungkook often jokes around with Jimin, creating a lighthearted and safe space, while his interactions with Namjoon are filled with quiet admiration and subtle nervousness.
The contrast between Jimin’s outgoing playfulness and Namjoon’s calm sophistication mirrors Jungkook’s own balance of fun-loving energy and serious artistic passion.
Old haunted museum
The rain hadn’t stopped all evening. It came down hard, bouncing off the pavement like silver needles as Jungkook sprinted toward the museum entrance, clutching his sketchbook under his jacket.
jungkook
“This is such a bad idea!”
He yelled over the thunder.
Beside him, Jimin twirled his umbrella dramatically
jimin
“Correction! This is your bad idea. I just came for the snacks.”
Namjoon sighed, adjusting his glasses as he followed
Namjoon
“You two are going to get us kicked out again, aren’t you?”
Jungkook grinned, water dripping down his hair
jungkook
“Not if we don’t get caught.”
It was supposed to be a simple trip — one last look at the old, half-closed wing of the museum before it got sealed off for renovation. But Jungkook’s curiosity had a way of turning “simple trips” into chaos.
Rain drummed against the glass roof of the old museum as Jungkook ducked under the entrance awning, shaking droplets from his messy hair.
jimin
“Come on, Kookie! Don’t act like a drenched cat,”
Jimin teased, tugging him toward the door.
jimin
“If you want inspiration, you’ve got to brave the elements!”
jungkook
“I’m perfectly capable of finding inspiration without being soaked to the bone,”
Jungkook muttered, brushing rain off his oversized sweater. But inside, he was buzzing with excitement. Today, he had the rare opportunity to explore the museum after hours—an abandoned wing rumored to hold artifacts no one had seen in decades.
Namjoon followed silently, his calm presence a stark contrast to Jimin’s energy. He adjusted the strap of his messenger bag and glanced at Jungkook
Namjoon
“You’ll probably sketch something amazing."
He said, his voice low and smooth. Jungkook felt a warmth bloom in his chest and quickly looked away.
The trio made their way through the dimly lit halls, the air thick with the scent of dust and aged wood. Jungkook’s eyes scanned every display, every shadowed corner, searching for a spark of inspiration. His notebook was tucked under his arm, ready for whatever captured his imagination.
Inside, the hall was eerily quiet. The lights flickered as they walked, their footsteps echoing against the marble floor. Ancient paintings lined the walls — kings, queens, and gods whose eyes seemed to follow them.
jungkook
“I call it… historical ambiance,”
Jungkook said, pretending to be confident while secretly feeling goosebumps crawl up his arms.
‘Restricted Area – Under Preservation.’
Jungkook gave it a long look
And then he saw it.
A stone pedestal in the center of a small, forgotten room. Resting atop it was a crystal orb that seemed to pulse faintly with light, though no electricity reached this wing. Jungkook approached cautiously, heart thudding in excitement.
jungkook
“Well, that’s basically an invitation.”
Namjoon
“You know that’s not what it means—”
But Jungkook was already climbing over.
The air in the forbidden wing felt different — colder, heavier, almost like it was watching them. Dust floated in the flashlight beam as they walked.
Then, Jungkook saw it.
A glass case stood alone in the center of the room, holding a strange, crystal-like orb resting on black velvet. It pulsed faintly, as if a heartbeat echoed inside.
jimin
“Okay, that’s definitely cursed,”
Namjoon
“Which means don’t touch it,”
Jungkook stared, his curiosity winning over common sense.
jungkook
“What if it’s not cursed? What if it’s just… lonely?”
jimin
“Bro. It’s a glowing ball in a haunted museum. It doesn’t need friends.”
jimin
“Do you… think we should touch it?”
Jimin asked, his voice tinged with both curiosity and caution.
Namjoon said immediately.
Namjoon
“Some artifacts are better left alone.”
Jungkook’s fingers itched anyway. There was something mesmerizing about the orb, something ancient and alive in its stillness. He reached out—and the moment his skin brushed the surface, the world shifted.
The moment his fingers brushed the orb, the lights went out.
Darkness swallowed the hall. A sound like wind—or whispers—filled the room. The orb blazed to life, glowing brighter and brighter until the glass shattered in a flash of blue light.
Jungkook stumbled backward, his sketchbook falling to the floor. The air thickened, twisting, swirling—forming a shape.
The man in the glass
Thunder cracked above the museum, shaking the old glass roof. The flickering emergency lights painted the hall in flashes of blue and shadow.
A gust of wind slammed the doors shut, extinguishing the faint lanterns. Shadows stretched unnaturally across the walls, and the orb glowed brighter, as if recognizing him.
Jungkook stumbled backward as the crystal orb glowed brighter and brighter until it shattered in a burst of light. The sound was deafening, like a thousand whispers screaming at once.
jungkook
“J-Jimin! Namjoon-hyung!”
He shouted, shielding his eyes.
When the light faded, the room had changed. The air was heavy, the temperature dropping until Jungkook could see his breath. Ancient symbols glowed faintly on the floor beneath his feet.
And in the center of it—stood a man.
Tall. Beautiful. Unbelievably still. His long dark hair cascaded over ornate robes that shimmered faintly in the dim light. His eyes were golden, glowing faintly like embers about to die out.
A figure appeared before him, translucent at first, then solid: a man in elaborate, centuries-old attire. His dark hair fell around a pale, angular face, and his eyes—deep, piercing, otherworldly—locked onto Jungkook’s.
The man said, his voice both commanding and strangely gentle.
He stared at Jungkook as if he were seeing sunlight for the first time.
The man whispered. His voice was deep, smooth, and carried centuries of exhaustion.
Jungkook froze, blinking rapidly.
jungkook
“What—uh—what do you mean I came? I didn’t come anywhere—I was just looking at art!”
Jimin screamed softly behind him.
jimin
“Kookie… that’s not an art piece anymore.”
Namjoon stepped in front of them, cautiously
The man’s gaze didn’t move from Jungkook.
?
“I am Taehyung… the one cursed to sleep until the soul I seek awakens me.”
Name: Taehyung
Age: Appears in his mid-20s, but is actually several centuries old
Background: Once a noble from a forgotten kingdom, Taehyung was known for his intelligence, charm, and artistic talent. Betrayed by someone he loved deeply, he was bound by a powerful curse that trapped his soul for centuries.
Appearance:
Taehyung’s presence is striking and otherworldly. He has dark, flowing hair that frames a sharp, elegant face, with eyes that seem to hold both wisdom and sorrow from ages past. His style is timeless—classic and refined—even in modern clothing, he carries the air of a person out of another era.
Personality:
Mysterious and composed: Taehyung rarely shows his emotions openly, keeping a calm, almost regal demeanor.
Protective and loyal: Once he bonds with someone, he is deeply devoted and will go to great lengths to protect them.
Witty and charming: Beneath the stoicism, he has a sharp sense of humor and can be playful when comfortable.
Haunted by the past: Centuries of betrayal and solitude make him cautious about trusting easily, but his longing for freedom and genuine connection is profound.
Role in the Story:
Taehyung’s soul is bound by a curse that can only be broken by the one he seeks—his fated counterpart in the modern world. When he awakens, he immediately senses Jungkook as the key to his release. Their bond is both magical and emotional, creating tension, intimacy, and moments of discovery as they navigate modern life together.
He has an air of elegance and power that draws people in, but the weight of his past makes him sometimes distant or aloof.
Though he struggles to understand modern customs, he is quick to learn and adapts in subtle, graceful ways.
The curse connects him to Jungkook in ways that are mysterious, magical, and occasionally painful, making their relationship intense from the very beginning.
Jungkook looked between Namjoon and Jimin, whispering,
jungkook
“Please tell me this is some kind of museum performance.”
But then the man—Taehyung—moved. His bare feet touched the ground, and the symbols flared, sending a gust of icy wind through the hall. The windows rattled, papers flew everywhere, and the lights went out completely.
Only Taehyung’s faint golden glow remained.
Taehyung
“Why… do you have his face?”
Taehyung murmured, taking a step forward. His expression was unreadable, a mix of awe and pain.
Taehyung
“You even have the same eyes.”
Jungkook, trembling, raised a finger.
jungkook
“O-okay, listen, Mr. Glowy Ancient Ghost Guy—I think you’ve got the wrong person. I’m just a student, not… whoever you’re looking for!”
Taehyung tilted his head slightly, a small, haunting smile tugging at his lips.
Taehyung
“You speak strangely.”
jimin
“He’s like a K-drama ghost mixed with a time traveler.”
Taehyung
“You touched the orb. The bond is sealed. You cannot run from me now.”
jungkook
“Wait, what bond?!”
Before he could move, the symbols beneath him pulsed, and a faint chain of light appeared, connecting his wrist to Taehyung’s. It glowed once, then vanished—but Jungkook could feel it, a strange pull deep inside his chest.
A sharp pain made him gasp. Taehyung’s eyes widened slightly, the same pain flashing across his face.
jungkook
“What… was that?”
Taehyung said softly, almost regretfully.
Taehyung
“Your soul is tied to mine now.”
