Prologue: The Curse of the Moon
Under a silver moon, in the depths of the Suryavanth forest, legends whispered of a hidden realm where serpents could turn into humans. Among them was one feared and adored — Taehyung, the Naagin Prince, guardian of the Moonstone, a jewel said to grant immortality and power over all serpents.
But power invites greed.
Centuries ago, Taehyung and his clan were betrayed by humans who sought the stone for their own selfish rule. Blood was spilled. Love was lost.
And from that night on, one promise echoed through time —
> “I will return… not as your savior, but as your curse.”

Episode 1: The Return
Seoul — Present Day.
The Suryavanth mansion had stood for generations, its walls hiding secrets older than time. Jungkook, the heir of the Suryavanth family, had just returned from abroad — kind, noble, but haunted by strange dreams of a temple beneath the moon and a pair of glowing amber eyes.
That night, rain poured over the city. Jungkook stood on his balcony when lightning flashed — and for a split second, he saw someone standing in the courtyard. A man dressed in white, with eyes that shimmered gold.
By the time Jungkook ran down, the figure was gone.
Only a trail of snake scales shimmered in the rain.

Episode 2: The Mysterious Stranger
The next day, Jungkook attended a charity event in the forest region where his family had old lands. There, among the guests, he noticed someone who made the whole world fade — Taehyung, elegant, quiet, and almost… unreal.
> “I’m Taehyung,” he said softly, offering a calm smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.
“I think we’ve met before,” Jungkook murmured, feeling an odd pull.
“Maybe… in another lifetime,” Taehyung replied.
Unbeknownst to Jungkook, Taehyung had returned — not as a man, but as a Naagin reborn, carrying centuries of rage. His mission was clear:
Destroy the Suryavanth bloodline — the family who had once betrayed and killed his clan.

Episode 3: The Shadow of Vengeance
Taehyung moved into the town, pretending to be a historian researching ancient temples. His charm quickly caught everyone’s attention — especially Jungkook’s.
The two grew close — dinners, forest hikes, quiet talks under the moon. Jungkook found himself drawn to the mysterious beauty of Taehyung’s loneliness, unaware that each moment they shared was a trap laid by destiny.
But revenge isn’t as simple as hate.
Every time Taehyung looked into Jungkook’s eyes, he saw not the face of a murderer, but the same soul that once saved him in his past life — a human who had loved him when the world had turned cruel.
And that human… had been named Jungkook too.

Episode 4: The Forbidden Temple
Taehyung secretly searched for the Moonstone, hidden somewhere within the Suryavanth estate. The key, according to the prophecy, lay in “the blood of the pure-hearted.”
One night, while exploring the old temple behind the mansion, Jungkook found Taehyung performing an ancient ritual — his eyes glowing gold, his skin shimmering with silver scales.
> “Taehyung… what are you?” Jungkook whispered, trembling.
“The thing your ancestors feared most,” Taehyung replied, voice trembling with pain.
“I am the curse your family left behind.”
Jungkook stumbled back in disbelief, but Taehyung didn’t strike. Instead, he turned away — his tears glowing like liquid moonlight.
For the first time in centuries, the Naagin felt something stronger than revenge.

Episode 5: The Past Unfolds
Through ancient visions, Jungkook learned the truth.
Five hundred years ago, his ancestor, King Suryavanth, had betrayed the Naagin clan to steal the Moonstone. But not everyone in the family was cruel — the youngest prince had fallen in love with a serpent spirit… Taehyung.
That prince had died trying to protect him.
His name had also been Jungkook.
Now, destiny had brought them back — human and serpent, lover and enemy — bound by both love and blood.

Episode 6: The Poison of Love
Jungkook’s family grew suspicious of Taehyung. His stepmother Minah, power-hungry and obsessed with the legend of the Moonstone, plotted to use Jungkook’s love to trap Taehyung and obtain immortality.
She invited Taehyung to a family celebration and secretly spiked his drink with serpent poison to reveal his true form.
In the chaos that followed, Taehyung’s eyes turned golden, fangs bared — the guests screamed as scales rippled across his skin.
But before the guards could strike, Jungkook stepped in front of him.
> “If you hurt him, you’ll have to kill me first!” he shouted.
For the first time, Taehyung saw humanity not as a curse — but as something worth saving.Episode 7: Love’s Awakening
Taehyung fled into the forest, ashamed and broken. Jungkook followed him, wounded but determined.
Under the ancient banyan tree, Jungkook found him coiled in his serpent form — majestic, silver and radiant beneath the moon.
> “Why do you care for me?” Taehyung hissed, his voice trembling. “I was born to destroy you.”
“Maybe that’s what fate wanted,” Jungkook said softly, stepping closer. “But I believe love can rewrite fate.”
He reached out — and touched the serpent’s head.
The curse around Taehyung flickered, pain giving way to warmth. His human form shimmered back, tears falling freely.
> “You foolish human,” Taehyung whispered, his voice breaking. “You’ll ruin everything.”
“Then let me be ruined by you,” Jungkook smiled.
And in that moonlit silence, centuries of pain turned into something else — redemption.

Episode 8: The Blood Moon Ritual
But Minah wasn’t done. On the night of the Blood Moon, she captured Jungkook and bound him at the temple, planning to sacrifice him to awaken the Moonstone’s power.
Taehyung arrived in his full Naagin form, eyes blazing with fury. The earth trembled as he unleashed his wrath — serpents rose from the ground, lightning split the skies.
> “You took my clan… my peace… my love,” he roared. “Tonight, I take back everything!”
Minah tried to use the Moonstone against him, but the stone only answered to the one born of both love and vengeance.
As the temple collapsed, Taehyung reached Jungkook and held him close.
The Moonstone glowed between them — reacting to the purity of their bond.
> “Taehyung… you can end this. Please,” Jungkook pleaded.
“No. Not without you.”
He kissed Jungkook’s forehead as the light burst from the Moonstone, destroying Minah and cleansing the curse.

Episode 9: The End and the Beginning
When the dust settled, the temple was gone. The Moonstone had vanished. And so had Taehyung.
Jungkook searched for weeks, but there was no sign of him — only the whisper of wind through the trees, like a distant voice saying his name.
Years passed. Jungkook took care of the lands, restoring the temples, protecting nature as Taehyung once did.
Then, one evening, as the first monsoon rain fell, he walked through the forest — and there, beneath the old banyan tree, he saw a man with familiar eyes.
> “You kept your promise,” Taehyung said softly, smiling through tears.
“I waited for you,” Jungkook replied.
The curse had broken. The serpent was free.
But love — love never dies.

Epilogue: The Whisper of Scales
In the heart of the Suryavanth forest, two figures could often be seen walking under the moonlight — one human, one who sometimes shimmered with silver scales.
Legends say that if you listen closely on a full moon night, you can hear their voices among the rustling leaves — a Naagin who loved a human, and a human who changed destiny itself.
> “Every shadow hides a story,” the wind whispers.
“And every revenge… hides a heart still learning to love.”
