FANGS (vkook/taekook)

Chapter 17

Monday, 1:00 am

I finally take a deep breath when I get cosy with Tae in the warmth of my bed.

I look at Tae and find him in a deep thought.

"Is this about Namjoon?" I ask.

"Yes." He smiles. "I'm glad he's back to his normal self. I missed this hyung."

I caress Tae's cheek. He finally looks happy. Like, real happy.

"You love your brother, right?"

"Yes. And hyung loves me too. I know that. Even if I was on the way to his ambition, he still would never have killed me. Infact, the gun he gave you, was useless. It could only harm me for some time, but was pretty weak to kill me. If hyung wanted me dead, I would've been long ago. He knows that I'm at my weakest when I drink human blood... That would be the quickest way to kill me and I'm sure he has many chances, but he never tried anything." Tae takes a deep breath. "Maybe finally, with Seokjin by his side, he'll learn to use his heart again, instead of his brain."

I nod and snuggle closer to him.

"I'm glad everything worked out for the best."

Tae kisses my forehead. "Me too."

I close my eyes, but suddenly a question appears in my mind. "Tae?"

"Yeah babe?"

"What do mean, you're weak when you drink blood? Shouldn't you be even stronger?" I ask and he bites his lower lip.

"Actually... When I drink blood... I lose control of myself, just like humans do when they have alcohol. When I taste blood, my mind goes numb and all I think about is... Drinking more and more until not even a drop is left in my host's body. And.... It takes me about 6-10 hours to get back to normal."

I nod. If that's the effect of blood in his body... Then even if he wanted not kill any person, he would still be helpless. Maybe that's why, he chose not to kill innocent people but those who are criminal and who deserved to die.

Tae clears his throat. "Kookie... I know you hate it that I killed people, but I want you to know that I had no other option. I was helpless myself."

I nod and smile. "I know, Tae. I understand you. None of it would've happened if my parents hadn't involved you asked you to drink their blood.... And in the end... Everybody has their own reasons for their actions... So it doesn't really matters."

Tae also smiles and pulls me closer to him. I smell his scent and close my eyes. I love it. Makes me feel very safe and comfortable.

"Yours have the same effect on me." He replies and I sigh.

"Will I ever have a single second of privacy in my entire life?"

"You don't need it." He kisses me on the lips and grins. "And please don't stop me from doing this as well. Because... It makes me happy. It makes me feel like we're one."

I look into his lovable eyes and kiss him again.

Stay by my side, Taehyungah.

"Forever."

The end!
