Full Moon

Chapter 41: Hunted

3rd POV

"You're still working?" Jungkook got out of the bathroom only covered by a towel that hung loosely on his waist. Displaying his well-built physique to the man who's busy typing away on his laptop. "Aren't you ignoring me too much?" Jungkook frowned when Jimin didn't even look his way.

Jimin chuckled. "I'm almost done, babe. Just a few more lines." But that didn't put a smile on Jungkook's face at all, knowing Jimin by now.

"You say that but then it'll take you another hour before you actually finish." The younger put on a sweatpant before lying down next to Jimin on his bed, leaving his upper body bare and shirtless.

"No, I don't," Jimin said.

"Yes, you do." Jungkook replied back.

"No."

"Yes." Jungkook sat up and placed his hand on the back of Jimin's laptop. Jimin knew what Jungkook was about to do so he stopped typing and removed his hand from the keyboard before Jungkook completely closed his laptop.

"I was actually done. You were just so cute that I had to pretend I wasn't and so—" Jimin wasn't able to finish his sentence when Jungkook silenced him with his lips. Jungkook had safely placed Jimin's laptop on his nightstand so it wouldn't get in the way.

"Cute, you say?" Jungkook muttered lowly, seeing how Jimin gulped as the older looked anywhere but Jungkook. "Look who's acting cute right now?" Jungkook teased which earned him a glare from the older.

"What?— I wasn't acting cute!" Jimin was then pulled to Jungkook's bare chest. Jungkook wrapped his arm around Jimin and planted a kiss on the older's head. Just then, Jimin had thought of the idea he had been bringing up to the younger every time he gets the chance to.

"Jungkook. . . I wanted to go to that place again." Jimin's voice was low and timid, he didn't want to anger Jungkook because of his persistence. Jungkook sighed deeply and Jimin felt a lump in his throat.

Ever since that night when they camped in the forest, Jungkook has been refusing Jimin's suggestion of bringing everyone to the place where Jungkook had brought Jimin the night of his hunt. Jimin wanted to bring the others but Jungkook would always show that he didn't like the idea.

Jimin knew Jungkook was avoiding that night from happening again. The younger was scared and told himself never to let that happen again. Jimin wanted Jungkook to get over it, but it seems like it'll take years before Jungkook could get over it.

"It's a full moon tonight, hyung. It's not safe for all of you to be around me even if I have been handling my wolf well. There's still a high chance I might revert back if I am surrounded by all of you." Jungkook said while caressing Jimin's soft hair. Jimin drew circles on Jungkook's chest, trying to get rid of the disappointment growing inside him.

"Is there really no way I could help to get rid of your fear? To make you understand that you're no longer the monster you thought you were." Jimin propped his elbows and looked at Jungkook with sadness. He really wanted to help Jungkook, he couldn't stand to see the younger get trapped in his past.

Jungkook smiled weakly and cupped Jimin's cheek with so much affection. "You worry about me too much, baby. I won't be trapped in my past and I'll get better, I promise. Right now, I just want to make sure I won't turn to humans again when the full moon rises. I have to kill that urge—"

"How will you know?" Jimin asked and looked out the window to see the dark sky filled with glitters of stars.

"What?" Jungkook's eyes went wide a bit as he sat up a little. Jimin turned to Jungkook with a smile that shows that he has an idea in his head. Jungkook easily recognized that kind of smile.
