Volevo Un Gatto Nero ➳ Taegyu ✔

19. Are You Okay?

A/N: Trigger warning for this chapter. Skip ahead if you need.

Taehyun was once again typing at his computer, talking to people on discord, when he heard crying from behind him. He quickly turned around, seeing Beomgyu sitting up, staring at him and quietly sobbing.

"What happened?" He asked, standing up and walking over to him.

"I-I had a dream." He laid back down, squeezing his eyes shut and Taehyun looked sad.

"About what?"

"I was a vampire, and we were all fighting something. And some of our friends died, and then you and I died."

Taehyun's eyes widened and he looked away, being shocked that it was that dark.

"I have to leave," Beomgyu said, standing up. "I'm not doing anything. I'm bored. I'm bored of everything. And the fact that you died in my dream makes me scared that I'll he the cause of it if it does happen. I wanna leave."

"And go where?"

"Just... to have fun."

He walked out and Taehyun followed him to the garage, seeing him getting on a bike. He walked over and got on the other one, noticing that Beomgyu looked sad about something. "We can go have fun Beomgyu. It's okay."

Beomgyu nodded and rode the bike out, leading to Taehyun following him. It was cold and the sun was setting, but Taehyun could tell that the boy didn't care.

He was angry, sad, and scared all in one, and he just wanted a moment of freedom from everything. So Taehyun just rode around the city with him for around a half an hour, until Beomgyu went ahead of him and slipped on ice, falling off his bike.

Taehyun stopped, getting off to walk over in confusion. Beomgyu was just laying on the ground laughing even though his blood was on the ice and his face was all scratched up.

"Are you okay?"

Beomgyu just ignored him and rolled over, still laughing a bit as Taehyun looked around to make sure there were no cars. After a little bit of convincing though, Taehyun managed to convince him to get out of the road and now they were sitting in a booth in a club nearby while people danced all around them.

"Why did all of this have to happen?" Beomgyu asked softly, but Taehyun could hear him over the music.

"What?"

"Everything. My house, my sister. Everything."

"I don't know Beomgyu." When he looked back at Beomgyu, the boy looked like he was on the verge of tears, but Taehyun didn't say anything.

Beomgyu didn't like when he tried to comfort him.

"We got you guys some drinks," two guys who were, or in Taehyun's case, looked much older than them, said, setting the drinks in front of them and sitting in the booth too. "What are your names?"

"Um..."

"Beomgyu," Beomgyu said, staring at the table.

"Are you okay Beomgyu?" He asked, gently touching his cheek.

Vampires couldn't get drunk, but Taehyun took the drink anyway. They also couldn't be affected by medicine or drugs.

"I'm Taehyun," he said before the guy sitting next to him could ask. "It's nice to meet you." He said it with absolutely zero enthusiasm, but the guy wrapped his arm around Taehyun's shoulders anyway.

Taehyun noticed that Beomgyu still looked visibly upset and the guy was trying to comfort him, and he just wanted to leave now.

"Beomgyu, do you wanna go?" He asked, standing up, but the guy next to him grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down.

"No," he said, and Taehyun tried to pry his hand off, only to come out unsuccessful.

"What the hell?" He asked, realizing that none of his powers were working right now.

In the midst of his confusion, he was dragged away without realizing it, only fearing for Beomgyu's safety as he was dragged to a back room and thrown on the floor.

"Wait, stop! What the fuck are you doing?!" He yelled when the guy pushed him down and started unbuttoning his jeans.

"Don't worry. You should be getting sleepy any second now."

"Those don't-! They-" he suddenly felt dizzy before his eyes went black.

***

When Taehyun woke up, he had a pounding headache, the fact that he was in a bed with the scent of a dog making it ten times worse.

A dog?

A specific dog.

He opened his eyes, realizing he was in Kai's room, and sighed.

What happened?

Then he saw Beomgyu sitting at the desk, his elbow resting on the surface, and his head resting on his fist as he stared at Taehyun. A stray tear was running down his face and Taehyun suddenly remembered what happened before he blacked out.

"Are you okay?" He asked, standing up and running over to him.

"I'm fine. They didn't hurt me. They were gonna h-hurt you but I called Kai and he stopped them before anything happened."

Taehyun sighed and nodded, wiping Beomgyu's wet cheek with his thumb. "You're okay though?" Beomgyu nodded. "Good. Why are you crying?"

"Because they could've hurt you."

"I know. He was going to. I don't know why my powers aren't working, or why the drug knocked me out."

"Maybe some weird vampire thing?" Beomgyu asked, chuckling a little bit and Taehyun did the same.

"Yeah, maybe. I'll figure it out at some point. But for now, I'm tired." He walked back to the bed and flopped down, eyes widening when he realized he shouldn't be tired. "Maybe it's the after effects of the drug," he said, slightly in fear now.

A/N: I ended up changing it so it didn't actually happen, but I still had to put the trigger warning.
