"How did you find us?" Aera questioned.

"First of all put the fucking gun down." Yoongi growled. "Second, it's pretty easy considering Jimin is your friend."

Aera kept her grip firm on the handle and finger at the trigger. She wasn't going to risk anything. She had every right to not trust him after all.

"Last time I listened to your words you killed my parents." Aera argued. She was going to stand her ground. Yoongi sighed and sat at the edge of the bed. He deactivated his Nightwalker side and pressed the gun against his forehead.

"If you feel that threatened just shoot me." Yoongi said. He stayed still, waiting for the impact. "Like I said, I just need to talk to you."

"You have five minutes." Aera said.

"I want you to make sure he doesn't succeed in his plan." Yoongi said. "I want you to break him out of his own limbo."

"What are you talking about?" Aera raised a brow at him. He tried to move but Aera kept the gun to his head. "Try me."

"For the past 200 years he's been driven by hate. He wants to kill all the normals in this world and now that Jungkook had reawakened he can achieve it faster." Yoongi explained. "No matter what happens make sure he doesn't get a hold of Jungkook. Even if it means you almost kill him please make him snap out of it. He plans to attack once another week passes."

"Why would you go to the extent of telling the enemy? Why don't you just come to our side?" Aera questioned.

"I can't leave him." Yoongi mumbled. "And I've already tried my best but he never listened. Please, you're the last hope I have."

"What if we don't?"

"Simple, everyone will die and Jungkook will become a killer." Yoongi said. "He's going to trigger the monster in Jungkook the same way he did with that other guy."

"If I do agree can you ensure you'll help us from the inside?" Aera asked.

"I can provide information." Yoongi said. "That's all I can give."

"I'll think about it." Aera said. Footsteps approached the room alarming Yoongi. He got up and made his way towards the window. "You really are a good person at heart, not that I'm forgiving you."

"Thanks I guess." Yoongi scratched the back of his neck, embarrassed. "No matter what happens please don't hate Taehyung."

"Why does he hate humans?"

"They were something he once loved." Yoongi said. "Until he was betrayed by two of them."

Before Aera could ask any further, Yoongi had disappeared from sight. Aera fumbled to hide the gun just as Jungkook entered.

"Why aren't you asleep yet— oh my fucking god." Jungkook's face went bright red as his eyes paced around everywhere except where Aera was.

Aera raised a brow at his actions before she realized the situation. She had been so high on alert when Yoongi came she forgot that the only thing she had on was a towel.

"Wh-why are you getting embarrassed over this it's not like I'm butt naked." Aera snapped.

"Just get dressed!" Jungkook exclaimed. He turned around while Aera quickly slipped on a nightgown. Once it was okay he got under the blanket. "If you keep doing that I might not be able to hold myself back."

"It's not like you would actually do it." Aera said. She felt the weight leave her side and pin her down from above.

Jungkook's shy face was replaced with a rather smug one. He leaned down, hovering just above her skin. He trailed up towards her ear, his breath tickling the girl.

"I would want to eat you up right now." He whispered. He blew into her ear, making Aera shudder. "That is if you're ready and willing to."

Jungkook pulled away and kissed her forehead before laying down once more. Aera was confused on what just happened.

"I could do it if I wanted to, but I have my self control. You see how I am when I feed right?" Jungkook assured. "I had to learn because you're so vulnerable. One day I'll probably snap."

"Well you sure showed me." Aera grumbled. She faced a way from Jungkook, an evident pout on her face. Jungkook could only chuckle and pull her close to him. She tried to flail out of his hold but he just hugged her tighter.

"You're stuck with me sweetie." Jungkook teased. He smiled as she just gave up and relaxed in his hold. They stayed like that for a while enjoying each other's company.

"Kook, are you still awake?" Aera spoke in a hushed tone, afraid she may wake him.

"Of course I am." Jungkook answered. "Something bugging you?"

"If you had the chance to convince Taehyung to stop would you?" Aera asked.

"Um, it depends," Jungkook answered, "If it means that it's a way I could keep you and everyone else safe then I would."

Aera still felt conflicted, but decided to share it tomorrow. She set her thoughts aside and tried to sleep.

"Hey Aera, do you want to get married?"

Jimin returned to the room and found Jisung sitting on the windowsill. She stared out at the dawn sky a small smile on her face.

"I thought you would be asleep." Jimin sat across from her, catching her attention.

"Vampires don't need to sleep unless they try it for fun or need to regenerate quicker." Jisung said. "The dawn sky is beautiful today. It reminds me of the legend of the Golden Fox."

"Vampire or not don't forget what you are kitten." Jimin reminded. "You need to keep a strong will and body for the spell to not waver."

"Strong body? Have you seen my noodle arms?" Jisung joked.

"You really are weird." Jimin sighed. Jisung playfully hit his leg.

"What took you so long though? I thought you only went to show them around." Jisung watched the playful expression be replaced with a serious one. "You do know you're an ass for keeping the tension like this."

"Jungkook made his decision." Jimin said. "He wants to get his memories back from you and fight."

"Jimin I don't think he should." Jisung disagreed. "Baby we shouldn't. Every night I have his memories for dreams and it's not good."

"Why not?" Jimin asked.

"History might repeat itself."
