Jimin walked back and Hoseok followed behind him, making sure to lock the door once he got in.
You couldn't look at him. You just knew this was going to be awkward. After so many times you drank from him, and everything that happened around it? After it? Everything you felt that he may remember but cannot feel.
"Okay. Don't worry, Hoseok." Jin said as he signaled him to sit on the other bed. "I'm a doctor. You're not going to die today."
"You mean from blood loss or..?" Hoseok asked.
"Neither." Jin said as he glared at Jimin who merely chuckled. "Now again, to remind everyone. You're doing this for the good of science. Not to murder anyone."
It took just a minute to take a few vials of blood from Hoseok, then Jin patched him up quickly. As he put the labeled samples into his suitcase, Jin asked, "Alright, whose first?"
The three of you looked at each other for quite a while before Yoongi rolled his eyes, "Ugh, fine. Let's just get this over with."
Yoongi said then sat next to Hoseok. Without much effort Yoongi yanked Hoseok by the shoulder to come closer.
"How much should I drink?" Yoongi asked impatiently.
The sight and scent of blood earlier had already made each of you anxious.
"I'll tell you when." Jin said bluntly and Yoongi nodded.
Hoseok seemed to be incredibly uneasy. The poor guy was clenching his fists and trembling even when Yoongi hadn't bitten him yet. It was like he was cold.. or afraid. He was shaking up. From the way Jimin was glaring at him, you didn't blame him for his uncomfortable state.
"Wait!" You already knew Jimin was going to fucking kill you, but Hoseok looked like he was panicking. It had been a while, so maybe that was why. Either way, you couldn't just sit there with him like that. "Yoongi, wait, I'll go first."
You got up and Yoongi shrugged. As you sat down next to Hoseok, Yoongi stood up to sit next to Jimin.
From a closer distance, it became more obvious as his eyes darted from you to Jimin. He was trembling and looked incredibly defensive. If you didn't know any better he really was panicking—whether it be fear or something else. This was a new side of Hoseok that you'd never seen before and you weren't exactly sure how to handle it. All you knew was that you needed to do something.
"Hoseok, I'm going to bite you now." You say in the calmest voice you could muster, "It's going to hurt a little.. but you're going to be fine, okay?"
He still seemed out of it until you held his hand. You're hoping it's well enough out of the view of Yoongi and Jimin, but you had to get him to calm down. Under your fingers you felt him clenching his fists hard, but soon enough he relaxed under your grasp to intertwine his fingers into yours. When he met eyes with you, his whole expression eased up, and thankfully so.
