Volevo Un Gatto Nero ➳ Taegyu ✔

41. Stitches

Taehyun shook his head, looking at the vampire bite on his arm. "You can't save me from their venom," he whispered, staring into Beomgyu's shiny red eyes that were sad. Taehyun smiled and shut his eyes.

Beomgyu suddenly remembered the dream. How it was at a park. How he was stabbed and Taehyun had a bite mark on his arm. How he was wearing a white jacket with dirt stains on it, just like the one he was wearing now.

He didn't say anything. He was sure if he did, the vampire would've moved quicker. So he ran faster than he ever has before and tackled her off of him, not realizing they were fighting by a tall hill. Both of them rolled down and Beomgyu groaned when they reached the bottom, trying to stand up even though he was in a lot of pain right now.

"Bitch," the girl muttered, looking away, and Beomgyu realized it was her.

"I'm the bitch? You're the one trying to kill my fiancé bitch." The girl rolled her eyes and shoved him, making him fall on his back. "Fuck you," he said through gritted teeth.

"Come on. I wanna go kill him already." She kept going on and on, saying things that inevitably made Beomgyu more mad, and he grabbed a stick that was right by his hand.

"Hey, hey."

"What?!"

"Shut up," he said, running forward and stabbing her in the heart with it.

She looked down at it. "Bitch." And then she crumbled like a ton of bricks, Beomgyu smiling to himself when he realized he won. The victory was short lived though as he fell to his knees and cluched his chest in pain.

"Beomgyu!" Taehyun yelled, running over to him. "Come on. I'll get you out of here."

He stopped his movements when the boy shook his head. "I need to help fight."

Taehyun looked at him in disbelief. "Beomgyu I need to help you."

"But-"

"You think I wasn't paying attention? I saw you saving everyone, getting Kevin and the injured ones out of here to safety. And then you saved me. It's time for me to save you, okay?"

Beomgyu tried standing up, falling back down and rolling over out of pain. "Fine," he sighed, yelping when Taehyun immediately picked him up and carried him back to the house. "You're fast." He giggled when he was set on Taehyun's bed.

For the next hour, Taehyun sat next to him with a pair of tweezers to get all of the splinters out of his chest and Beomgyu was giggling from a specific medicine Taehyun gave him. Normal human medicine didn't work on them, but there was a vampire pain reliever/number that also made them woozy.

"Why are you pinching me?" Beomgyu asked. "Stop. It tickles." He giggled and tried pushing Taehyun's hand away.

"Beomgyu-ah, stay still so Hyung can help you."

"Why?" Beomgyu whined, looking around and still trying to push Taehyun's hands away.

Taehyun sighed and reached over to his nightstand to grab the handcuffs, using them to bound Beomgyu's hands to the headboard. "There."

"But how will I stop you from tickling me?" He asked. "Hey..."

"Hm?"

"Are you single?"

"No. I have a fiancé."

"But you're soooo cute. They don't have to know." Beomgyu looked around, squinting his eyes and pouting. "Where's my body? I can't feel it." Taehyun didn't answer, and Beomgyu just stared at him for a while. "What are you doing?" He looked down and saw Taehyun putting a thread through a needle.

"Stitches."

"Why?"

"Because you got stabbed."

"I got stabbed?!"

Taehyun sighed and started doing it, making Beomgyu gasp and pull harshly at the restraints.

Shit the medicine is wearing off.

Beomgyu was still out of it a little bit though, not knowing he had super strength that he could use to get free. "You're okay," Taehyun soothed as Beomgyu tried to thrash around from the pain. Once he was finally done, he hugged Beomgyu tightly while the other dryly sobbed into his chest. "I thought you would be used to needles by now."

"Yeah, but not when they're going all the way into my body and coming out in a different place."

Taehyun felt bad and gently kissed him on his cheek, rudely interrupted by the door swinging open.

"You kill the leader, and the entire army backs off," Seonghwa said, walking in with San and Wooyoung excitedly following him.

"You should've seen it," Wooyoung said.

"Yeah! Seonghwa Hyung was so cool! He killed the leader and they all left!" San exclaimed, walking over and making a "yikes" face when he saw the stitches in Beomgyu's chest. "Everyone's alive, but... a few broken bones here and there never slowed down a vampire or werewolf, right?"

"Who got hurt?" Taehyun asked.

"Yeonjun, Yeosang, and Uchinaga are the vampires that I know of. And apparently Beomgyu too. I asked Soobin to let us know their status," Seonghwa said and Taehyun nodded. "Beomgyu." The weak boy looked at him. "You turned your sister?"

"Yeah..."

"Wooyoung, tell Yunho to dress Ari and put her in the den for when she wakes up in a week."

The three of them left and Taehyun started bandaging him up before dressing him in warm, comfortable clothes. "Thank you for taking care of me," Beomgyu softly smiled, wrapping his arms around Taehyun's waist and laying his head on his abdomen. "You're so sweet."

"I'm sorry." Beomgyu looked up at him from where he was kneeling on the bathroom floor and tilted his head. "I should've told you about them. It might've gone better."

"It went perfect," Beomgyu said. "Everyone's okay. And we're okay now." He stood up to kiss Taehyun's pouty lips, giggling before pulling him back to the bed. "Now let's cuddle and talk, okay?"
