Erroneous [Vminkook]

90: Christmas Shadow

Taehyung couldn't sleep.

He curls himself up on the bottom bunk of the bed, furrowed annoyed eyebrows with a deep frown on his lips as he thinks about his day.

Being around Jungkook just makes him feel like he's not wanted at all because he's not Karma. It's not like Jungkook has said anything towards that fact, but Taehyung just feels that way whenever they talk or are around each other's presence. Sure Taehyung and Jimin were the closest, but doesn't mean he didn't care about Jungkook.

He cares about them equally, and it just feels like Jungkook just prefers one more than the other with his alters. Even though Jimin has joked about him being in bed and how good he is, Jimin is indifferent about either Taehyung and Karma. That's why Taehyung leans onto him a lot, because Jimin accepts Taehyung as a whole system. He may get annoyed with Karma, but they have their own chemistry as well.

Everything just feels like Taehyung is lonely in this.

So lonely.

Guess that's not the case now.

Cheer up hun, you got me! I know I may not be better company than Karma but you'll get use to it.

Taehyung snickers under his breath to the feminine voice in his head and snuggles to his pillow, "I care about you just as much as I care about Karma, don't think so low about yourself."

Aw I'm glad my positive energy is being rubbed off. Try to get some sleep Tae, I'll be watching out for you don't worry.

And so with that safety thought in his head, Taehyung closes his eyes, letting his consciousness fall into a deep slumber with a single worry as V sings him a lullaby to sleep.

On the other hand, at the top bunk, Jungkook is growing so angry at himself. He doesn't want Taehyung to think he doesn't give a shit about him. Sure he's mostly connected with Karma, but that doesn't mean Taehyung means any less to him.

He just..... Doesn't know how to handle his emotions right now.

It's been a hard two months, and adjusting has certainly became difficult for him.

So after a bit of debating with himself, he climbs off the bunk and stares at Taehyung's back towards him. He thinks about it for moment before pulling the blanket and slides under it, hesitantly wrapping a secured arm around his waist.

"You better back the fuck off me before I give you a reason to," V suddenly snaps, taking over immediately while Taehyung's consciousness remains asleep.

Jungkook closes his eyes and holds onto her body tighter, "I don't want him to think that.... Like that. He was so mad."

"Well Prince Charming you suck at communicating," V huffs and turns around to face him, "Look, he's going through a lot of stress right now, the most he needs right now is just someone to.... Care about him, without comparing him to Karma all the time."

Jungkook gaps his lips, "I do not compare him-"

"Dude, he breathed a heavy sigh or show a dark expression on his face and you instantly assume it's him. He's a mafia leader, Tae is no soft bitch. Karma's just on the little darker side of him," V snaps annoyedly, crossing her arms over her chest, "The three of us are a team. You either have the whole package or none because best believe Karma would never choose you over Tae."

And just like that V turns back around, arms still crossed over her chest to keep her guard up, "Go back to the top bunk before he wakes up, or I'll drag you there myself."

Jungkook didn't want to leave. He wanted to stay there until Taehyung woke up so they could talk, but there's a reason V is saying this and it wouldn't be for her own personal pleasure. So with that in mind, Jungkook sighs and slides off the bed, climbing back up to his bunk.
