12: Full and half blood

Taehyung's words stuck to you the following day and you wondered if Jungkook would be one to care about your well being, that he had "liked you." He didn't specifically said Jungkook but everyone included Jungkook so it was getting to your head.

But you knew you couldn't think too much on it or else Jungkook will realize (maybe already has) that you were thinking about him.

You really didn't had anything against Jungkook but because of the fact that he hated you for reasons you couldn't understand and ones no one would explain to you, you decided on hating him too.

Besides, what would be the point in wanting to get someone to like you when they've already set their minds on hating you?

You didn't wanted to be vulnerable as you had been with your old life as a human. Something in you made you want to change, to be stronger than you had been, to care less about useless things, and to care less about people who didn't cared about you.

Because you knew it would only hurt you more and make you weak.

Being a vampire had its perks, you were becoming someone a little more colder than you were as a human and you actually didn't minded.

"I miss it," you mumbled to something that was meant for yourself but knew Namjoon had heard it. There was only you and Namjoon in the living room because the rest were taking their rests in their rooms being that the sun was high in the sky—not that you'd seen it even though you wished you did.

"Miss what?" The older male asked as he handed you a blood bag.

You took it after thanking him, staying in the position you were in; an arm wrapped around your legs while your chin rested upon your knees as you sat on the sofa. You were staring out at the dark tinted windows just to your side, something that had caught your attention when you had first arrived at his mansion. The dark tinted windows were all the windows they had. It was for the vampire's protection but you still couldn't help but yearn for the beautiful star.

"The sun," you confessed. "I miss seeing how it would rise up, taking over the darkness that had once controlled the sky. I miss seeing it's beautiful colors especially during twilight. I miss the beautiful pink and purple colors that stood beside the yellow and orange lights. I miss the sunset. I miss its warmth and how relaxing it felt to stay under it." You turned to look at Namjoon who had already taken his seat on the sofa next to yours.

"But I can no longer witness it anymore now can I?"

There was a hesitant nod. "Not unless you take the antidote but we don't have much left."

You nodded, knowing it wasn't right to waste some powerful antidotes just to satisfy your needs. "Do you still get to see it? The sun?" You asked.

He shrugged. "I'm a vampire, I'm not that fond of the sun."

"Right," you laughed at your mistake. "So that means you were born a vampire."

"I was," he confirmed. "But two of our members are half blood, the rest came from a vampire background like me." You tilted your head with curiosity, wanting him to go on. "Jimin and Taehyung had human lives before they were turned. Taehyung was around your age when it happened to him so he can relate a lot to your situation."

"What happened to him?"

Namjoon looked down at his blood bag in front of him. "He was an intern, ready to become a doctor the next day when his dream crashed—literally."

Your eyes widened. "A car accident?"

Namjoon nodded as he took a sip from his blood bag. "A blind old man was crossing the road and Taehyung rushed to get him out but during the process, he was hit by a vehicle. Hoseok witnessed it all so hyung immediately went into aid and turned Taehyung before it was too late. It frightened Taehyung but he never blamed that old man, he actually went to thank him when the man was lying on his death bed.

He thanked him for giving him the opportunity to find friendship elsewhere and to become a different person, meeting the six of us and having other duties to fulfill. Since he was turned, Taehyung too was selected as one of the guardians to protect the royal blood. There aren't much vampire doctors out there so I guess they chose him out of that reason."

"And Jimin?" You pressed.

"Jimin is different," Namjoon began. "Despite being born a human, he is one of the powerful vampires. This is because his past life, before his human life, he was a vampire."

Your brows raised.

"Possessing the royal blood also means you can see one's past life."

"Oh?"

Namjoon nodded. "Yuri saw Jimin's past life, that's how we know Jimin was killed as a vampire then became a human and now he's a vampire again. Unfortunately he wasn't able to live a long human life. Jimin died at the age of seven when saving Jungkook from a vampire attacker. He said that something in him just knew he had to keep his fellow vampire friend alive despite having heard of vampires being a threat to humans."

"So Jungkook turned him."

"Correct," he nodded again.

Hearing the stories from Namjoon, you knew then that Jimin must've been the one to suffer the most. Although the man had always looked so calm and collected, deep down, he must had been suffering and yet you never knew. He was your best friend but it felt like you didn't even know a single thing about Jimin.

Now that he's became distant towards you and everyone else, there wasn't a chance he'd break out from his shell. The man was great at keeping things hidden and letting his own self suffer. You cursed yourself at never knowing much about him, realizing that you were never truly close to Jimin in the first place.

I'm such an idiot, you whined only to hear Jungkook's annoying voice coming in once you did so.

"You sure are."

Who asked you?!

You then groaned aloud, causing Namjoon to look at you in concern. "What's wrong?"

"Is there any way I can think to my own self and not have stupid Jungkook hearing them?"

The leader shrugged. "I've never been bonded to anyone, I wouldn't know anything."

"What about the others?"

He shook his head. "Jungkook's the only one who's been bonded."

Your eyes widened. "For real? Then that means..." Then you gasped.

"Jungkook's been bonded before?!"
