Vampire Servant (J.JK)

Side Story 5: Our Journey Will Continue

Y/N

''It's okay...you should rest now.'' Jungkook's burning hand gently pressed up against my left cheek with a faint smile.

His fever is so high...

My eyes stayed focused on his stomach looking at the gruesome wound inflicted with wild rose poison. His body wasn't healing.

We're located in a forest deep in Jeonju together with some other forces. We have been planning to infiltrate a hidden hideout here for several months, but the fight went down badly. Many of our men got injured and this stormy blizzard made it impossible for us to transport everybody safely. Some local villagers provided us with one of their best inns, granting us shelter. I have been healing our people this whole night. 

''Y/N...you're burning up.'' Each time he spoke the more his words were coated in pain. 

''I'm fine.'' I stubbornly concentrated my palms above his wound, trying to ignore his eyes staring deeply at me. 

''I'm not dying, it's just painful for tonight, the storm will be gone tomorrow morning. I'll go to the hospital first thing then. You have done enough, so please.'' His hand weakly clasped itself around my wrist catching my attention.

''Stop pushing yourself...'' What I hated the most was that Jungkook was right. 

I have been draining myself for hours and it seemed I reached my limit. No matter how much energy I try to pour into him the wound won't heal completely. It's because...I no longer have any energy left.

I sighed before lowering my hands. He weakly smiled at me with a nod. 

''I'll go get the nurse.'' 

------------------------------------------

Back in the room, I noticed how Jungkook was still awake. The nurse stopped by to wrap up his wound and left. All we can do is wait for tomorrow to come. 

''How are the others?'' Once I entered the room his face instantly turned to me.

''They are fine, some just have a mild fever.'' 

You're actually worrying about others.

It was still a somewhat cute side, this different version of Jungkook. After everything that happened, he really did change. He started caring about the people around him, displaying the characteristics of a dependable leader. So over the past months, Mr. Lee granted Jungkook his own team. Things really did take great turns. 

I sat next to his body while leaning to the side, getting a hold of the towel that was soaking in a bowl of water. 

He is still sweating a lot...

I noticed his eyes following my moves, from rinsing out the towel to dabbing it against the side of his face. 

''I told you to stop.....stop pouring your energy into me.''

''I'm not.''

''Your eyes are still blue.'' That's when I stopped my actions. His eyes softened as he noticed my eyes returning to their original color. 

Silence fell for a bit as he closed his eyes, letting me wipe down his body.

''Hey....why don't you just drink my blood.'' 

I know that he told me he no longer wishes to feed on me but isn't this an emergency situation?

''No need, I'll just sleep the pain away and get proper treatment tomorrow.'' He didn't even bother to open his eyes, and the fact that he wasn't even surprised by my proposal showed that he already saw it coming.
