The contract ↬ Yoonmin

Chapter 8 // Thoughts

Warning ; A little bit dark chapter, so good luck.

"Good morning, sleepyhead." Jimin murmurs while poking Yoongi's cheekbone, waking him up.

The demon usually will burn anyone who ever wakes him up because as a demon himself, for him, the most fun that humans can do is sleep.

Well, but not this time. Not anymore.

The young man who smiles cheerfully in front of him, with his eyes look like it's smiling able to remove the thoughts of burning anyone. "Good morning, Yoongi hyung!"

Yoongi wakes up slowly, and he looks at their hands locked since last night. He looks at Jimin's face adoringly, "Good morning, Jiminnie. Did you sleep well last night?" Yoongi asks, unlocking their hands but before he unlocked it, he squeezes the chubby hand softly and bring it up to the magician's hair, ruffling it with a small smile on his face.

Jimin nods his head happily, "I am! Because you're here, keeping the promise." He says joyfully with hands up. Although his neck is still hurt because of what has happened last night, he feels the pain is fading away when his demon smiles to him.

Yoongi chuckles, "Of course I will. Take a shower first, okay? You need to work today." The older says with a wink, leaving the room with Jimin flustered on the bed.

Jimin groans softly and step in the shower, trying to calm himself down. His feelings are just too fast, and deep inside him, he do loses hope on Yoongi because they are different.

He is sure that Yoongi being nice towards him just because of the contract. Nothing more than that, because that's what a demon should do with it's lord until the lord died.

Right?

Yoongi sighs at the outside of the room, "No Jimin. I never treat someone like I treat you." He whispers softly, he wants to say that to him but he knows it's wrong. He needs to be professional.

He can't let his feelings drown him, because loving a human is impossible and..

Dangerous.

Yoongi sits on the couch, he's waiting for Jimin to done because he wants to take a shower after this. Honestly, living at human's world makes him too familiar with daily activities of human although he's not a human at all.

He stays with human around him for like hundreds of years already and he has went to almost everywhere before. This year, he went to Busan and finally met someone who is completely different than anyone,

Park Jimin.

"Hyung? Why are you spacing out?"

Yoongi looks up and his eyes meet with a standing young man with towel around his waist. "Oh, nothing. I was just waiting for you, alright then it's my turn then." He says, walking passed Jimin with their shoulder almost brushed.

"Why are you taking a shower, you're not even a human." Jimin says jokingly, giving his high-pitched laugh.

Yoongi shrugs, "I don't know, I just love the way it makes me feel cold." He says shortly and closes the bathroom's door.

Jimin wants to say some more but the door is already closed. He sighs and wears his clothes quickly.

"I told you already, he's just being nice only for the contract." Jimin says to himself sadly and walks out from the room.

Meanwhile Yoongi who is showering, he stands under the cold shower and closes his eyes tightly.

He's sure he's making a mistake right now. He needs to be the old self, he can't stay being like this or he will be drowned in his own feelings soon.

All of the negative thoughts make him decide something that he thinks is a good idea for him, but actually,

It will hurt Jimin's feelings.

Yoongi says to himself;
I'm sorry, Jimin. I can't let my feelings flow because it will be very dangerous for us later. I'll change, I won't treat you the way that will give you any hopes in our relationship.

The demon becomes frustrated with his thoughts. This is his first time that he ever feels such things like this, and he can't help it to feel useless about it.

I'm afraid to fall in love.

His fangs slowly showing up when the frustration is growing inside him, Yoongi growls under his breath and cut his wrist with his sharp nails to suck his own blood.

He needs to do that or he will end up hurting his own lord just for his blood. He don't want to hurt Jimin physically, and that's why he thought it's fine to hurt him mentally in order not to give any hopes in their relationship.

Yoongi keeps on sucking his own blood harshly and washes it, leaving a clear bruise on his wrist. His eyes are completely changed, same goes to his showing sharp fangs.

He steps out from the shower, and unfortunately Jimin is there on 'their' bed. Yoongi can see Jimin is a little bit down, but he still smiles to Yoongi in his natural adorable goofy way. Jimin always hides his feelings in order not to be a burden to anyone.

His round eyes widen when he saw blood dripping from Yoongi's wrist  plus the bruise that is clearly showing.

"Y-Yoongi hyung? W-What's wrong?" Jimin asks worriedly, looking at the red purple-ish eyes which have changed because of the feelings that have built just now.

Yoongi gives zero response, he just stands there looking at Jimin with his cold stare.

Jimin deep down is taken back by Yoongi's cold stare. The way his eyes are not warm and lovely anymore, but have changed to the cold and evil eyes, exactly like their first eye contact before.

That slaps Jimin even more when he just remember,

It's all about the contract. Nothing more.

But Jimin tries more, he holds Yoongi's pale hand gently with a bright yet worried smile on his face, "Hey, tell me. What's wro-"

Yoongi pulls his own hand harshly, making Jimin almost stumble because he was holding Yoongi's hand.

"Shut up. Focus on being a magician, nothing more."
