Chapter XX: Empty stomach

Inside Hoseok's house while Jin is busy downstairs, Yoongi and Tae check the rooms on the first floor.

- Are you sure your boyfriend won't mind we're here to kidnap his cousin?

- I'm not planning on telling him. And either way I prefer this over kidnaping him

- Shit, you're really whipped for that shortie

While Tae gets distracted with whatever he can find, Yoongi looks around the small bedroom. There's a bunk bed so he knows there were two people sharing the room. While the one on the bottom is made and looking brand as new, the one of the top looks like a total mess.

- That's from my messy boy for sure

He knows how much Jimin hates to make his own bed so he can recognize it immediately. He climbs to see if he finds anything there. The yellow blanket has dust on top and the pictures on the wall look old. He takes in every little detail. A picture of Jimin's parents, one of his uncles and Hobi. And finally one of him as a kid in the hospital next to...

- You're not gonna believe the amount of Snoopy plushies I just...What?

- Tae, can we talk about something?

- Daddy Yoongi, you can talk about anything with me!

- When your were a kid-

- Except that.

It's hard to mention anything related to the past with Taehyung. Instead of using his words, Yoongi walks up to him and hands him the picture. Silence takes over the room as Tae's eyes get teary.

- Tae?

- Is this...is this him?

- He said he spent some of his early years in Seoul but had to come back to Busan with little to no notice. He couldn't say goodbye but he went back to look for you years later

- He was the closest thing to a friend I had...

He stares at the picture tenderly and his voice comes out in a whisper. Yoongi isn't sure what to do to comfort him. Tae doesn't usually show his sadness. He's the kind to pretend everything's okay until the pain passes. At least that's how he is now.

- You know you can tell him you survived if you want

- I don't wanna lie to my little mochi

- Mochi?

- That's what I used to call him

- ...Now I understand how he feels when you call me Daddy

- Hahaha Oh don't be jealous! You think maybe...I could be friends with him again?

- Without telling him who you are?

- Who I was, Yoongi. Thankfully, that Taehyung is dead. He just needs to like the new me!

His words show a mix of emotions. From sadness and anger to pride and joy.

- I'm sure you can. If you can manage to stop making him jealous

- I'll take care of it. I know him better than you think!

After registering the whole house they finally split ways. Back at the hotel, Yoongi notices something's off as soon as he enters his room. He heads towards the bathroom where he can hear Jimin throwing up. As he opens the door to check on him he sees him kneeling next to the toilet, vomiting. To be specific, he's vomiting blood.

Most people would panic but Jimin is more than used to this and Yoongi knows about it. The problem? The smell of blood as delicious as that makes Yoongi's fangs come out involuntarily. He was coming here ready to have dinner because he was starving and this isn't helping. It takes all his focus for the fangs to go back in. Jimin flushes the toilet and rises his head finally seeing his boyfriend staring at him.

- Yoongi...

- H-Hi, beautiful

- You look like you wanna eat me

- Because I do

- ...What?

Jimin is confused to say the least. Usually, Yoongi gets worried whenever he gets sick. Hell, the first time he told him about his 'disease' Yoongi made a million check ups on him at the hospital thinking he was gonna die. But right now Yoongi is just... staring at him biting his bottom lip.

- I meant that... you're so pretty I could just eat you up

Jimin goes red. He can't believe his boyfriend could find him sexy even tonight that he looks like a total mess.

- W-Well, if I feel better later maybe you could do that...

Yoongi swallows hard. How can he use such a flirty and adorable tone at the same time? And while being sick? This boy is a menace. One he can't complain about. Jimin brushes his teeth trying to get rid of the taste of blood at least until it happens again.

- I should go to the hospital

- I'll go with you. Should I call an ambulance?

- It's really not that bad! I mean it's nothing they can't solve. I just forgot to give my monthly blood donation, that's all

Yoongi knows perfectly no one should donate blood more than once every three months. But he also knows Jimin won't stop no matter how much he insists. The younger always said that's the only thing that can keep his 'disease' under control. Since his blood is so different, Yoongi believes him. They take a bus and get to the hospital in less than 20 minutes.

- Wow, it's been so long since last time I came here. I'm already used to the Seoul hospital

- You came here as a kid as well? You're supposed to have at least 18 to make donations!

- Supposed to, yeah. But the doctors knew that was the only solution for me and Hobi

- So he's just like you...Do you think he's still coming here?

- Probably. Although it's not as close to his new apartment on the other side of the city

  While they wait for their turn, Yoongi takes the chance to get a little more information on his cousin. When they call Jimin's name, the vampire knows he has several minutes to wait. So he makes use of his position as a doctor to get some more information. Being so important in Seoul, no one complains about having him there for a bit. The first thing he does is check when was the last time Hoseok came in to do the same thing Jimin is doing now.

- He stopped coming a few years back...

That's something to worry about. It all indicates he might be dead or gone. But if he talked to Jimin recently then...what does that mean? Is it a trap? Is he still alive? What happened to him?

He's about to walk out when he sees them bring the new donations so they can classify them. As soon as he stays alone in that room with that much blood, his stomach growls. He can immediately recognize which one is Jimin's. Usually he makes sure to inject it so he doesn't get addicted to the taste. But...maybe this time he could...just have...a little...tiny bit...

He starts with a sip. But the taste of it makes him feel a rush and vitality like no other. Before he knows it, it's all gone. And seeing the empty flask he can do nothing but panic. He needs to protect Jimin from other vampires. And also from himself...
