♫: Carrie Underwood - Blown Away
*****


Taehyung awoke to foreign surroundings. A different room than usual. A different bed. He tried to get up, but his body didn't let him. He was exhausted. His head ached. Memories of what had happened flashed in his mind. He grimaced. He didn't want to remember.. at least not for a while.

He heard sounds.

Someone yelling.

A man.

Something crashing

Something heavy falling.

Then a weak, shaky voice, almost a whisper.

A familiar voice.

"Stop..."





Jungkook.


Taehyung got up immediately.

His fangs sprouted out, and his eyes darkened. The thought of Jungkook crying, or in any sort of danger, angered him. He had to protect him.

He started walking towards the door, but then stopped in his tracks.

Footsteps... Someone running up the stairs.

His fingernails grew and he got ready to kill if anyone unfamiliar walked in.

The door slowly creaked open, and Jungkook slid in, his back facing Taehyung. He slowly closed the door and locked it before sighing and leaning his forehead against the door.

"Jungkook?"

The brunette whipped around, startled.

"You're awake."

Jungkook had clearly been crying. His eyes were puffy and red. The brunette quickly looked down, hiding his face with his hair. Taehyung's eyes turned pitch black.

"Are you hurt?"

"..No.."

"Look at me."

Jungkook's bottom lip quivered. He slowly looked up. There was a gash on his forehead. Taehyung's eyes narrowed.

"Who did this to you? Are they still down there? Tell me!" He wanted Jungkook to tell him who had hurt him. He wanted a name. He wished the younger would tell him who he had to kill for him, even though he knew that would never happen. He was too innocent.

"Taehyu-"

"Jungkook. Tell me." the blonde spoke, his voice deep with anger. 

Jungkook looked down, his hair shrouding his face.

In a flash Taehyung was at the door, his hand already twisting the knob. "I'll find out myself."

"Taehyung! Wait, please....i-it's my father." Jungkook spoke softly, and Taehyung barely caught the words, even with his exceptional hearing.

The blond's expression softened. He let go of the doorknob, his eyes trailing to the ground. Jungkook didn't say it, but Taehyung knew that he wasn't going to be killing anyone anytime soon. The darkness receded from his eyes and his fingernails retracted back to normal.

Jungkook slowly looked up.

"I guess I have to tell you everything."
