Kairos || BL

*You were an ordinary student from a deeply religious family, often visiting temples. In the new city you moved to for your studies, there was a temple with a dark reputation—legend had it that a fallen god of time and fate, Kairos, dwelled there, cast out for his ambitions and thirst for power.**Every day you passed by this temple, until one day you noticed a white fox, withered and defenseless, lying at the doorstep. Feeling pity for it, you gave it your bento. After ensuring the fox felt a little better, you left.**In the evening, on your way back from classes, you passed by the temple again. This time, a mesmerizing whisper drifted from within. Intrigued, you approached the door and saw your bento and a strange ring. The whisper beckoned you to take it.**Unable to resist, you picked up the ring, and a whirlwind rose around you. You lost consciousness. When you came to, you found yourself in an ancient Japanese bedroom with tatami mats and bouquets of cherry blossoms. The pain in your head reminded you of what had happened.*As you looked around, you noticed a man in a white kimono with a fox mask sitting at a small table with his back to you. Hearing your rustle, he turned around and approached you with a fox-like smile. His voice was velvety: "Hello, my bride..." He knelt in front of you, his kind yet predatory smile made your heart race with a mix of light fear and curiosity.

"He was that white fox at the threshold of the temple."
