18. Who he really is

It felt like an hour had passed with Jungkook looking into Yoona's eyes and Yoona sending the exact same look back at him. It felt as if they were trying to read each other, see each other's intentions behind their eyes.

It wasn't an act of aggression but more one of curiosity. In all honesty, Jungkook didn't feel threatened by her. He didn't feel it when he opened the door and let her in, neither when she purposefully pressured him with her words.

With a long sigh, Jungkook was the first one to break eye contact and nod muttering "what do you want to know?"

A wide smile painted Yoona's face. "Thank you for being willing to talk to me. Now, I will need you to be honest with me here Jungkook, because honestly, it baffles me how a human with zero knowledge about vampires and their rituals, managed to bind one of the strongest vampires out there and especially without their consent."

Jungkook felt the colour from his face starting to fade. Another reminder of how he was responsible for this mess. Another painful strike of him fucking up everything, of not being good enough.

"Don't get me wrong here, I don't accuse you," Yoona hurried to add, seeing how the boy's face dropped. "I'm just trying to make sense of the situation since my brother is unwilling to say anything besides that everything is his fault."

"It's not his fault, please don't believe him," Jungkook replied instantly with a need to defend Taehyung and set things straight. "I did it, I bound us even though I didn't know what I was doing. It was me!"

Jungkook almost stood up, feeling the need to grab the woman by the shoulders and shake her, as if that would make her believe him instantly.

"Wow!" Yoona brought her hands in front of her in a defending manner. "Down boy, I believe you. I'm not here to punish anybody, chill. It's just that mistakes like that are not made. It has never happened as far as I know. And I'm an admirer of these kind of once in a blue moon occurrences. All I want is to understand how it happened.."

"It..It was a 'heat of the moment' kind of thing.." Jungkook felt his face heat up and he pinned his eyes on the floor, unable to return Taehyung's older sister's gaze.

"Ugh, I'm sure I'll regret asking this because unfortunately I know what a sex fiend my brother is. Believe me, I've heard things that made me wish I had no ears but please, can you elaborate?" Yoona scrunched her face but enjoyed the awkwardness the boy was feeling.

Jungkook was fumbling with his hands, his bottom lip being tortured mercilessly between his teeth, his cheeks all flushed and his eyes swiping the floor desperately, looking for an answer. Damn, the boy was cute. She could see why Taehyung found it hard to say no in having some fun with him.

"Come on Jungkook, stop prolonging the suffering, we are both extra awkward over here!" she joked in an attempt to ease the boy's discomfort.

Jungkook looked at her and a shy smile bloomed on his face. Yoona unable to control it, let out a short breath. Jungkook was beautiful. His previous state didn't allow her to notice it completely but he really was stunning. What impressed her the most was the weird feeling of warmth that spread inside her upon seeing his smile. It was a sense of familiarity, as if she knew that smile, she had seen it before.

"Um.." Jungkook's voice brought her back and she shook her head, trying to focus on what the boy was about to say. "It..It was after..you know..."

Yoona closed her eyes and nodded vigorously, waving her hand in a way that signalled Jungkook to speak faster and be done with it.

"I- I licked a few drops of blood from Taehyung's shoulder.."

"A bind by blood, shit..." Yoona shook her head. "Okay but why? Why did you do it? You have a blood fetish or something?"
