In a distant sound, beyond the reach of ordinary maps, there was a city unlike any other- 𝑺𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒂 𝑩𝒓𝒂𝒆, The Lost City. Shrouded in mystery, it was a place of beauty and magic, hidden deep in the heart of an enchanted forest.

The city's people were not like ordinary humans; they were known as the 𝑩𝒓𝒂𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒐, musical beings with powers that bridged the world of mortals and the unseen realms. Their abilities were tied to the natural forces - water, wind, earth and fire- and they lived in harmony with the mystical forces of the world.

Among the Braegato, there was a young man name Taehyung, a gifted being with the ability to control sound. His voice could bend the air, and the hum of his music could stir the wind shift the tides. Taehyung was content in Skara Brae, surrounded by his people and the ethereal beauty of his home, but there was something missing. He felt emptiness, a longing he couldn't quite place. Until one fateful day.

Jungkook was a human-an explorer from a distant village on the edge of the forest, curious and daring. He had heard whispers of a lost city deep within the woods, and driven by his own dreams of uncovering the unknown, he set out on a journey to find it. After days of wandering, lost in the thick trees and fog, Jungkook stumbled into Skara Brae.

It was nothing like he had imagined. The city shimmered with otherworldly light, its towers of crystal and silver weaving through the sky, its streets paved with luminescent stones. But as Jungkook stood in awe, he felt a strange sensation, like he was being watched. And then, he saw him - Taehyung, standing across the plaza, his presence commanding yet gentle, like the soft echo of a distant song.

Their eyes met, and At that moment, something stirred between them-a connection that neither could deny. Taehyung, the Braegato, had never encountered a human like Jimin before. Jungkook, a mortal, had never known magic or the ethereal world that Taehyung came from. But their hearts understood each other in a way that words could not.

Taehyung, ever curious, approached him.

Kim Taehyung

You are far from home, little human.

He said, his voice like the soft breeze of dawn.

Jungkook, with a smile full of wonder, replied,

Jeon Jungkook

And you are far from anything I've ever known.

They spent days together, talking, exploring Skara Brae, and discovering the city's secrets. Taehyung showed Jungkook the wonders of his world-the shimmering lakes that glowed under the moonlight, the songs of the trees that told ancient stories, and the stars that danced in the sky, as if alive. For Jungkook, it was all beyond his wildest dreams. And for Taehyung, it was a taste of something he had longed for-something beautiful, something pure.

But as the days passed, Taehyung began to feel the weight of the differences between their worlds. The Braegato were bound to their city, to their magic, and to their timeless existence. Humans, like Jungkook, lived short lives, fragile and fleeting. Taehyung, who could manipulate the very fabric of sound and time, knew that no matter how deep their feelings ran, their worlds could never truly intertwine.

One evening, as the stars above shimmered like distant dreams, Taehyung took Jungkook to the edge of the city. The air was thick with the magic of Skara Brae, and the wind whispered secrets of old.

Kim Taehyung

Jungkook~

Kim Taehyung

I've shown you my world, and you've shown me yours. But we are from different realms, and I fear our hearts are not meant to stay in the same place.

Jungkook looked at him, his eyes full of sorrow and understanding. He had known, deep down, that their love could never be without consequence.

Jungkook whispered, his voice catching in his throat.

Jeon Jungkook

But I would give it all for a life with you.

Taehyung's heart ached, the sound of it like a mournful song in the night.

Kim Taehyung

You cannot live in my world, and I cannot live in yours.

He said, his voice filled with both longing and resignation.

Kim Taehyung

I am bound to this city, to Skara Brae. And you... you are a mortal, with a fleeting life. I cannot bear to watch you age and fade while I remain untouched by time.

Jungkook reached out, his fingers brushing against Taehyung's.

Jeon Jungkook

But love doesn't care about time...

Jeon Jungkook

It's all we have~

Taehyung closed his eyes, the weight of their worlds pressing down on him.

Kim Taehyung

And love is also what will tear us apart, my dear Jungkook...

At that moment, they shared one last kiss, a bittersweet promise of what could never be.

Kim Taehyung

You will always have a place in my heart, in this world, in my music...

And with that, Taehyung led Jungkook back to the edge of Skara Brae. As the magic of the city swirled around them, the Braegato bent their will, and with a final, mournful note, they sealed the city once again, hiding it from the mortal realm. Jungkook was sent back to his world, forever changed, carrying with him the memory of Skara Brae, and the love of an braegato who could never be his.

As the years passed, Jungkook lived his life, never forgetting Taehyung or the lost city. Sometimes, in the quiet moments of the night, he would hear a soft melody carried on the wind-a song that spoke of love, of magic, and of a city that had vanished, but would never truly be forgotten. And in the depths of his heart, he knew that Taehyung was out there, waiting in a world where time stood still, forever part of the enchanted city of 𝑺𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒂 𝑩𝒓𝒂𝒆.
