Taehyung woke up to daylight and Namjoon. The warlock sighed in relief to see him return to conscience.
"How do you feel?" He inquired,
"What happened?" Taehyung asked instead of answering, not liking the fact that he couldn't see Jeongguk anywhere in the room.
"You passed out because of poison," Taehyung's eyes widened in surprise at the revelation.
" How?" Was it something that he ate?
"It was somehow on your lips, but don't worry you'll be fine. It was white oak, it causes nausea and dizziness,-"
"Where is Jeongguk?" Taehyung asked, not hearing a word after, rushing out of bed with urgency in his very fibres.
"Hey, you need to rest or you'll make it worse," Namjoon said trying to stop him from getting up,
"No hyung, you don't understand. We need to fucking check up on Jeongguk, oh my god, he-" Taehyung struggled against Namjoon, he needed to find him.
"Taehyung, please. You need to calm down-"
"I can't fucking calm down! We kissed last night! I need to find him," Taehyung's voice broke and his struggle simmered down to tears, " We kissed, it's my fault, it's on his lips,"
Namjoon's skin drained of colour, after all the only thing that could harm an original was white oak.

He hadn't considered that fooling Byung Chul would be this easy of a task. The butler always watched like a hawk and always took his presence with a grain of salt.
He knew Taehyung wasn't naive either. So, Suwon hadn't left any stone unturned to find the perfect instrument to orchestrate his plan.
He had walked in with a hamper of Taehyung's favourite brands of maquillage but it wasn't to win his favour.
No, he wouldn't want something as worthless as that. He wanted more, he wanted Jeongguk. It's true that it was him who had pushed the original away but he wanted him back.
He had thought it to have been another one of his flings, another one of those models warming his bed and nothing more. He was expecting Jeongguk to come crawling back to him sooner or later.
But then came the rumours of Jeongguk's bonding with that worthless model. Suwon saw red. He was the one who had anonymously tipped the news outlets about the two of them hoping to break them apart, hoping that Taehyung would crumble under pressure and backlash.
But that went south for him. Taehyung ended up publicly announcing their engagement.
Then came the invite to the ball, the formal introduction of Taehyung as 'Jeongguk's bonded' to the Vampire nobility and high society. His status as the former bind would become equivalent to dust once the ball, an act equal to marriage in their books, passes.
He'll just be the former, forgotten about sooner than one can blink.
He won't let that happen. They're all his, the status, the name, but not Jeongguk. He is not his anymore.
Thus, he's decided, If he can't have him, he won't let anybody else have him.
So he devised a ploy.
He visited Taehyung with an excuse to congratulate him. He makes it a surprise visit to catch them all off-guard and avoid Jeongguk's intervention.
Remember when he had added those aromatics to his own tea, they were hypnotic, and so were the three taps of the spoon on the tea cup- marking the beginning of the hypnosis.
He had kissed Taehyung on the checks to say goodbye but it was a disguise to hide the uttering of the spell and the conditioning.
"The only rouge lip stain, stain your lover's lips with it,"
- he planted those words on the back of Taehyung's mind where he couldn't see.
And so when the model came back from work it knocked on his subconscious, lured him into the living room and there he applied the only rouge in the hamper- the white oak paste, dyed red.
Suwon had thought that Taehyung was a mere human. He had expected him to falter in his presence but it was him who did, surprised to know that Taheyung was Vampire much like himself.
Taehyung was to survive the scheme and take the blame for poisoning the head of the Jeon house. But fate had decided to kill two birds with one stone it seemed.
He walked towards his room, his mansion lit up in "celebratory" decoration for Jeongguk's, head of house Jeon's, bonding.
It was instead for when he would be announced as the head of the house.
