Blood bound

Part 16: Mind control

"Hi." I say softly as Chaeyoung climbs into the car. She looks at me and then at Jungkook and then at Yoongi. 

"I'm- who-" 

"Chae this is Yoongi, and Jungkook. Two of the guys I'm staying with." 

"Which one are you dating?" Her brows furrow and I give a nervous laugh. 

"Maybe kinda sorta all seven of them." Her eyes pop out wide and her head swivels between the three of us. 

"Wait what!? Here I am losing a man, I CAN'T EVEN KEEP ONE AND YOU HAVE 7?!" I wince as Yoongi gives me a look that says, 'this is all you'. I smile sheepishly. 

"I don't know, it just kinda happened." 

"Well can I have one?" I laugh and Jungkook stares in bewilderment. 

"Sorry, they're off limits." Both the boys breath out a sigh and Chae grumbles as I start to pull out of her driveway. 

"That is so unfair. You have seven and you can't even lend me one?" She glares and I giggle. 

"Ask them then." Her cheeks heat up instantly as she realizes she was practically fighting over them, right in front of them. 

"No thanks. I don't need a man anyway." She looks away and I smile. 

"Right-oh." She huffs and the rest of the ride was just small talk between the boys and her as they tried to get to know each other. I park the car in the garage and hop out. "Welcome to our humble home." I say as Chae gets out. She looks around and her eyes widen as she realizes how big the house is. 

"Holy crap are you guys rich or something?!" Her eyes dart to me and I shrug. 

"Kinda but not really." Her eyes flare. 

"Y/n!" 

"What?" 

"I swear! What the hell is going on with you! You have seven freaking boyfriends and they are all ok with it? This is madness and then on top of it you have a huge freaking house! You filthy bitch! Your such a gold digger! What happened to you?!" My eyes widen as her eyes fill with tears. "I just got broken up with and now my best friend is like a- a- I don't even know what!" I blink before stepping back in shock. 

"You really think I'm like that?" My voice cracks and she looks at me. 

"What else am I supposed to think? I mean look at it! How are your parents ok with this I mean like what the actual fucking hell!" 

"It's not like that Chae. It's not like that at all. I thought you knew me better than that." Her tears spill over and I turn my back on her trying to hold my own in. To think that she would understand was pretty low of me but I never thought she would have jumped to this conclusion. It kind of hurt to think that she thinks so low of me. I mean I'm her best friend for god sakes. I have been for years. 

"Why don't you come inside. We'll talk and work everything out in there ok?" Yoongi's voice is low as he speak to Chaeyoung. I stare ahead of me and Jungkook wraps an arm around my shoulder. 

"You ok?" He whispers softly. I lean my head against his shoulder and shake my head. 

"I don't know. I feel like I'm just being overly sensitive but that really hurt." Yoongi looks back at  me worriedly as he leads Chaeyoung inside. Jungkook grabs my hand and squeezes as he tugs, pulling me along. 

"I know. Lets go inside. Me, you, and Namjoon will go upstairs and talk while the others keep your friend occupied ok?" I nod as we both enter the house. Jungkook pulls me upstairs while calling for Joon. Seconds later Namjoon is at our side. 

"What's up?" Jungkook shakes his head. 

"We should talk." 

"So I heard. Let's go to my room." Well all walk up the stairs and Namjoon turns to me as we step inside. 

"You ok?" I shrug. 

"I guess so." 

"I think we should tell her." Jungkook says. Both Namjoon and I snap our attention towards him.

"What?!" I cry out. 

"Are you mad!?" Jungkook shakes his head. 

"She's already suspicious and maybe talking to her will help her understand what's going on a little better. It's not like she'll be harmed or hurt by the truth." 

"What if she tells people Jungkook. She'll either out our secret or end up in a mental hospital." I shake my head. 

"Yeah, we can't exactly just expect her to not freak out." 

"You didn't freak out." 

"I kinda did. Just a little internally but I was already catching onto something anyway." 

"Exactly, so is your friend. She doesn't think we're monsters like you did but she thinks something fishy is going on." I wince. 

"Ok I did not think you were monsters." Namjoon raises an eyebrow and Jungkook laughs. 

"Yes you did. You thought we were demons or something. That's besides the point though." 

"We aren't telling her friend that we're supernatural creatures Jungkook. It's out of the question." 

"Chae doesn't handle things very well either. She'll probably run from the house screaming bloody murder." Jungkook sighs. 

"It was just a suggestion." The door cracks open and a bone white pale faced Chaeyoung stands in the doorway with an aggravated looking Yoongi. 

"Oh god." I mutter. 

"You-" 

"Chae it's not-" 

"Don't worry she already knows. Someone thought it was a good idea to shapeshift in front of her." 

"What!?" I cry out. Namjoon's jaw clenches and I stare in bewilderment. 

"Well he was outside and she saw it through the window but still." 

"Chae I swear-" 

"Are you being kept here against your will? Is that it? Are they going to keep my here? What are they? Y/n I don't understand-" Her eyes fill with tears again and her knees give out on her. Yoongi catches her and looks at Joon. 

"Should I?" I stare wide eyed as Namjoon looks to me. 

"That's up to her." 

"Up to me? What's up to me." 

"I can make her forget. It'll make things easier." Chae's eyes look wild as she thrashes against Yoongi. 

"No! Y/n please don't do this!" I gulp and look away as tears fill my eyes again. 

"It's for the best." 

"Y/n!" I wince as her panicked voice fills my ears. 

"Do it." 

"N-" Her voice gets cut off and I whirl around to see chae looking confused and bewildered. "What happened?" 

"We brought you here. Remember? How are you?" She shakes her head. 

"I'm ok." She looks at me and smiles gently. "Thank you for being here. I don't know what I'd do without you." She brings me into a hug and I look to Yoongi as he gives me a reassuring nod. I swallow harshly and push back the tears that want to force their way up. This isn't Chae. She was upset and distraught. Of course I'd rather have her happy but that should be on her own terms. What have I done...
