Soulmates Of The Dawn | [Vmin Vampire AU]

F o u r t e e n

Jimin was lost in the artistry he pulled on the canvas and how perfectly he sketched Taehyung. Perfect prominent lips, Deep wide eyes that expressed a storm of emotions in them, His dark brown hair flowing over his forehead, Slightly wavy yet so soft to touch.

It was the first time when Taehyung saw himself through Jimin's opinion. He then momentarily switched his gaze to Jimin with Seokjin's words wandering in his mind.

"In my sight, you both look more than friends"

"Then who are we? If we're not friends?" A voice echoed in his mind and he asked himself a question that had no answer yet, But marriage was too early for them. He needed to know about older's feelings and much before that, Taehyung needed to peek inside him.

He always had been caring regarding Jimin, Sometimes he would realize that his concern was always been a bit extra and sometimes he never needed to be worried yet he still got worried.

He always felt that burning sensation inside him, whenever someone touched Jimin, Even thier gaze on his older seemed like a stab in his heart.

Jimin wasn't different, The obsession was also the same on the other side as well, however, until now they always named thier relationship as friends, and sometimes they would be considered each other as thier family. But today Seokjin had raised the question and Taehyung wanted to know the answer.

"Oh Taehyungie, come here and have a look, I was getting bored and I saw painting stuff so I made your painting how it is? " Jimin asked, his eyes twinkling as if all the stars came down to his eyes.

"It's perfect, It would be more pretty if you'd drawn yourself," Taehyung passed a compliment with a vague smile.

Jimin's cheek flushed, He widened his smile "It was quite awkward to draw yourself on canvas" He said scrunching his nose.

Taehyung endearingly chuckled at the older, "It's okay leave this part on me"

He cleared his throat, there was hesitation showing on his face, "Jiminie, I have to talk about something. important"

Jimin placed his pallate back on the table with the brush aside, He contemplate the nervous face of the younger, "What happened?"

Taehyung clutched his fist, He ruffled the back of his hair and chewed his lower lip. It was hard for him to talk about marriage with the older, For the first time in his life, he hesitated to say something before Jimin.

Whilst in the meantime Jimin looked at him, bewildered, "Taehyung, Your ears turning red, What's going on?"

"We–We have to marry each other and before that, you have to perform a ritual that will seal your demonic spirit in an object and you'll be able to control yourself," Taehyung finally said, Exhaled a long breath and for the next few seconds silence filled in the room as Jimin numbly glanced at the Younger's face.

Jimin widened his eyes, It took him a few seconds to realize the words Taehyung's spouse from his mouth, "Taehyung, Are you alright? No, What your brother told you? Did he hit your head with anything? How can we marry each other? I mean I don't have any issue with the ritual but marriage, I can't do this not at least with you," Jimin raised his voice, Somehow his denial stabbed like an arrow in Younger's heart.

"We don't have any option, You can't live in the royal castle always, And I can't do anything until I find a way of living, So we don't have any option, We will sort this out later but as of now we will have to marry" Taehyung's voice cracked with embarrassment, His eyes moved with the older as Jimin hovered to the window and thought for a moment.

Marriage, Traditions, Family values, These things had never been a part of thier lives. They never lived a noble life therefore the sudden marriage proposal had fallen like a blast upon the older's head. In his opinion, Life was all about pleasure, and vampires weren't bound to any limits.

Jimin had never thought about his life, His goals were opposite the responsibility he was supposed to take, "Taehyung, It's not like I don't have any trouble with marrying you, I mean I have a bit," Jimin stopped amid his conversation as he struggled to gather the words that could explain his feelings.

"Honestly, I never thought about marriage, Why do we need to married with someone when we can pick anyone just for pleasure, That's what I always thought, and then I have to find my family, and the most important I have to take my revenge from Lord Shin and it's people" Jimin finally explain everything and in his mind his every word sounds logical.

Taehyung lacked the words that could tell the older about the tragedy that occurred with his family. His heart clutched against his ribs and he grind his teeth, "I also want to take my revenge but at this moment, you need to earn a likable position in the royal family"

Jimin couldn't estimate why the younger was so determined to take the responsibility they both weren't ready for, "Taehyung, I don't wish to be a part of your family, I'll leave this castle once I'll find my family" The hope and the desperation to see his family in his eyes tore the Younger's heart and his eyes shed the tears.

"Your clan died a long time ago, Lord Shin killed them all," Taehyung's voice echoed in the walls of the room, He couldn't endure the pain to see Jimin living with false hope. He couldn't let the older desire for something that he never going to get in the future.
