Unlasting || Kim Taehyung

36: Intrusion

Unfortunately, you didn't get the answer you wanted to hear. Taehyung isn't opposed to turning you, but he doesn't want you to feel forced into committing to something so permanent just because of him, he doesn't want you to give up your mortality for his sake. That night he simply told you that what you were asking was a big decision, and because he didn't want to argue with you that day, he said you would talk about it in the morning.

Although, you understand where he is coming from; if you were turned, you'd be giving up a lot of things in life: being with the people your age, growing old with your friends and family, having children of your own, so much would change. But still, you want to be with Taehyung, and if that means for eternity, then you are willing to do so.

You had wondered whether it was an issue because he would no longer get to drink your blood, but he quickly let you know that wasn't the reason, in fact vampires can actually feed from one another, but it was more for pleasure than fulfilling hunger, it doesn't have the same healing strength or other benefits of human blood, but even if that wasn't the case, feeding was the last of his worries. He simply said that it is something they can think about for the future, but it isn't something you should rush into. It wasn't really an argument, it was more of a serious talk where you both reached a temporary compromise.

That morning after your talk, you both took a nice bath together and went on with your days. It's been about a week since then, and at first you worried that your request would have made him more distant, but that's actually the opposite of how he's been acting, he's been snuggling with you at almost every opportunity and wanting to spend any free time he could by your side, and of course you don't mind at all.

Now, you are both sitting in the living room watching the tv while you eat breakfast, though Taehyung's eyes are closed. He's been up late talking with Jimin, either over the phone or in person, Jimin has been getting more and more stressed with each passing day, so Taehyung wanted to make sure he was okay.

Your eyes are locked on the screen when you hear Taehyung's phone suddenly go off. He sits up to reach over the table and answer, meanwhile you simply continue to watch the morning cartoons.

"Hello?" You can't hear what's happening on the other end, but when you look back over Taehyung's face has become serious.

"Alright, we'll be right over." Taehyung hangs up the phone and gets to his feet.

"What's wrong?"

"Something happened, Namjoon said we have to come quickly."

You instantly stand up, running into the bedroom to throw on a pair of clothes. You meet Taehyung at the front, taking your hand in his before walking out the door.

You both quickly get to the building and head inside. You run down the hall, and when you enter almost everyone is centered at the large table. You're not sure what they're all looking at, but when you get closer you see there's a small, silver ring in the center of the table.

"What is that?" you ask as you approach.

"It's Jimin's ring, he gave it to Taemin. Jimin found it in a small box outside the door," Yoongi explains.

"So that means..."

"They know."

Taehyung takes a breath and frantically looks around the room. "Where's Jimin?"

"In his room," Hoseok says, and gives him a sad look, telling him everything he needs to know.

Without hesitation Taehyung runs in the direction of his friend's room, bursting through the doors to see Jimin standing by the window.
