Chapter XXIV: House guardian

Jungkook stares at the moon while standing on his balcony. It'll be full in just a few nights from now, he can tell by the roundness and color of it. As a wolf the moon's like a best friend up there, almost like a goddess no one prays to anymore.

- Is he my destined one, moon? Did you send him for me or am I just a total idiot?

Jungkook sighs, tired of overthinking. His wolf is still upset about Tae flirting with others while he feels guilty for their last encounter. It's not Tae's fault if he doesn't feel the same. Maybe he should try to move on. But how can he? He can't imagine anyone else that can be as perfect as that vampire. He wants to spend his life hearing his laugh and enjoying his smiles.

- You can't sleep either?

The boy turns around, half scared of the voice behind him. His eyes meet Namjoon's tired ones. His hyung sits on his bed, clearly exhausted after a very long day. No need to look at him for over five seconds to know he's irritated.

- Not really. And you, Hyung? How was your day?

- Shitty as usual

- That's because you keep avoiding your boyfriend.

- He's not my boyfriend

- You sound angry with yourself when you say that. Did you do something stupid?

- Ugh, it's my dumbass wolf. He's been unbearable all week! He keeps wanting to kill him, he won't shut the fuck up! I can barely sleep anymore because he insists in finding his room and attacking him!

-....Thank god you never fell in love with me

- I'm this close to losing my fucking head. And he...he doesn't deserve to deal with this. Much less to be in danger because of me.

- Hyung, I think he-

- Please, don't give me advise. I know I'm being immature by avoiding him. He probable has no fucking idea what's going on. But I don't really wanna look for the words to explain it while I have this psycho killer talking in my head.

- Okay...If you need time, you can count on me. Wanna spend the night here? I wasn't really planning on doing much. Maybe getting depressed and wonder if I'll be alone forever. Not much more!

- Lovely. But actually...Can you do me a favor, little one?

- Sure! Anything!

- We should get some work done tonight. Jung Hoseok lives near by. We should talk to him, learn what the vampires want with him. Get him on our side...

- You want me to go on my own?

-...Is it a bad idea? You can tell me if you don-

- I'll do it. I could use some distraction.

Namjoon thanks him and Jungkook starts his first solo mission. He heads out trying to focus on the job. Even though every few minutes a new thought about Taehyung pops on his head again. When he finally gets there, he rings the bell. If this can be a peaceful visit, the better. However as the minutes go by and no one opens the door, he knows he'll need a different approach. He forces the window and enters as silently as possible. All they need is information, if Hoseok isn't there to give it he might as well get it on his own.

The rooms on this floor have a normal vibe. Nothing is extremely out of place, nothings is strange or calls the attention much. He concludes that if there's anything remotely interesting in this house, it must be on the first floor. So he walks up the stairs ready to find anything useful. All the lights are off and if it wasn't because his wolf has a pretty decent vision he would've ended up knocking some furniture for sure.
