THE DARKEST HOPE 

Chapter 20

Jungkook was patiently waiting for Suga outside the doctor's cabinet. Finally the hunter got out, his leg freed from the bandages, his crutches gone and a wide smile on his face.

"As good as new!" he stated and happily walked towards Jungkook. "Come, we have to celebrate, let's get home, cook something tasty, open a bottle of wine and drink!"

"Congratulations, the idea is great. How is the leg?" Jungkook smiled.

"I will have to exercise it a little but other than that there is nothing to worry about."

The two of them went inside the car. Jungkook insisted to drive the car back to the manor, didn't Suga said that he had to practice driving? Suga naturally accepted, yeah why not, today he was in such a good mood after all. Jungkook may crash the car wherever he wanted, nothing could spoil his mood right now. He sat on the passenger's seat next to the driver thinking only about the little celebration he was going to organize once they got home.

"Hey, Yoongi..." Jungkook said just before he started the engine. "I was wondering how did your blood samples turned out?"

"Huh?" Suga couldn't register at first what Jungkook was talking about.

"You know, the blood samples that Jimin took to check if we didn't get ill while being in the river. He said that there was danger of infection or some disease, because of the dirty waters and all the vampires around, you know, he should have told you too back then..."

At first Yoongi didn't understand what the hell Jungkook was rattling. He just looked at him questioningly with blank confusion. Then it hit him! Jimin took Jungkook's blood...

Suddenly Suga couldn't hear well the sounds around him and register what Jungkook was explaining. It was all the humming in his head. He gasped for air, the world around him turned for a moment. Then he managed to focus his gaze back on Jungkook's face.

"Hey, Yoongi, are you all right?" Jungkook had stuck his face in front of his, looking at him with worry. "You look pale, what is it?"

"I am fine!" Suga stuttered. "Nothing to worry about."

"Because the hospital is right here, you know, we can just get off the car and go see another doctor."

"I said I am fine!" Suga insisted, the color was returning back to his face and he slowly regained his composure. Managed to form a twisted smile on his face.

Jungkook smiled back when he saw that Suga looked better.

"Last chance to change your mind," Jungkook was in a great mood again. "I'm not turning the car around if you pass out on the way back or something like that, I am warning you!"

"Just drive us home, Jungkookie." Suga's happy mood from a minute ago had evaporated as if it was never there. A dark, biting feeling of anger mixed with sadness had engulfed all of him. The car drove off while he was staring blankly out of the window. Everything suddenly seemed terribly fake.

"Did you got worried about your blood test, Suga, was there something wrong?" Jungkook asked concerned.

"There in nothing wrong with my tests, Jungkookie, nothing wrong at all..." the hunter answered with anguish and silently continued to watch the road, lost in thoughts.

*******

Only late after diner Suga managed to call Jimin out for a private conversation.

"You took a blood sample form Jungkook!" Suga said with anger while glaring darkly at his friend.
