Unlasting || Kim Taehyung

10: Return

You're not sure how much time has passed, you and Taehyung have been in each other's arms for what feels like hours.

"Taehyung?" you ask quietly.

"Hmm?"

"Can I ask you something?" You feel him nod his head against you. "If Soyoung didn't die, then what happened to her?"

His eyes open. "Actually, when I joined up with Namjoon and told him my story, he did his own research. He found out that she isn't a regular vampire, she's from the demon world, meaning she's much stronger and has powers of her own." You hum in response. "I'm guessing she got herself into some trouble shortly after turning me, getting her sent back to the demon world."

"So, now she's back?"

"I guess so." A silence passes over the two of you. "Y/n?"

"Yeah?"

He pauses and tightens his grip around you. "I'm fucking terrified." You can hear his voice sharking, and you pull him close to your chest.

"It's going to be okay. I promise."

The two of you decide it's time to finally head back, the sun is about to rise any minute. You walk out to the porch and see Jimin asleep, leaning against one of the banister poles. You kneel down and tap him lightly.

"Jimin?" He slowly opens his eyes and sees you and Taehyung, and he smiles lightly. He then gets to his feet, and looks at Taehyung, neither of them have to say anything before Jimin pulls Taehyung in for a hug, and you can tell he appreciates it.

"Thank you for taking care of her, and being here," Taehyung mutters.

"Of course."

The three of you walk down the steps and Taehyung looks back up at his home.

"Oh, before we head back." You and Jimin look at him. "I need to do something."

Taehyung starts to walk around the house to the back, and you and Jimin follow. You pause as you round the corner and see three large gravestones aligned in the backyard, he must have buried his family back here. He approaches the graves and crouches down in front of them as you and Jimin walk up behind him. The sky has begun to turn a light shade of pink and orange as sunrise approaches.

Taehyung stares at the stones for a few moments before he begins to speak. "Hi mom, hi dad. I'm sorry I don't come to visit more often... some son I am," he laughs. "And you." He looks to the grave on the right, which you assume to be his sister. "I'm sorry I didn't get to do so much more with you." He looks down at the grass. "I miss you guys." The sun starts to peek over the horizon, the light glistening on his skin. "But, I'm really happy now... It may have taken some time, but I found people who care about me, people I love dearly." You catch Jimin's smile off to your side. "So, for now, I guess that's it... I love you."

And with that, he gets to his feet and turns around to the two of you. Jimin steps forwards and places his hand on Taehyung's shoulder.

"I think they would be really happy for you Taehyung, they'd be proud."

Taehyung gives a faint smile and the three of you begin to walk out of the field, the sunlight illuminating the land with its golden glow as you take your leave.

The three of you finally return and enter the base.

"Where the hell have you all been?" Yoongi mutters, not looking up.
