until it hurts
Jungkook’s breathing shudders out in pained gasps, and Namjoon tightens the comforting grip on his hand with a wince as he intently watches Yoongi’s pixelated image on the screen reaching carefully through the rusted metal bars for the enormous blue gemstone. Just as with the previous stone, it’s instantaneous. Yoongi’s fingers close around the gem, and Jungkook jolts horribly, throwing his head back with a terrible scream, but this time it’s choked off instantly as his face pales, big eyes shining with terror before he crumples lifelessly to the ground.
or, Jungkook is forcibly bound in servitude to a magical power that commands him to prevent the theft of four gemstones, but when he tracks down the 6 master thieves intent on stealing them, all older and stronger and frighteningly alluring, it may not be so easy to stand in their way. And as the magic drains and punishes Jungkook viciously with each additional stolen gem, will the 6 be able to go through with their heist if it means cutting down the frightened, gentle boy they're gradually getting more and more attached to?
