Heartbeat (ON HOLD)

Never Expected

Taehyung's POV
I open the door and we make eye contact. She stutters my name. I take the time and examine her, her eyes shift to the ground. Who ever did this to her will pay. I hear her heartbeat, subconsciously a smile makes its way to my lips. "(Yn)." I say gently. She slowly looks back up at me. "Heartbeat." I whisper. I walk towards her. I look at her, Marisol was right. Bruises and scratches everywhere. I gently place my head on her shoulder. "You have no idea how worried I was." I whispered. "Wh-What? Yo-you were worried?" She stuttered. I nod my head against her shoulder. "Wh-why?" She asks. I pause. Why was I so worried? "I.... honestly.... don't know..." I whispered, lifting my head to look at her. Little did I know, Jungkook and Marisol were watching the whole interaction. "You shouldn't have worried about me... you're tired... you look like you haven't slept in days..." She whispers. I laugh hollowly. "I haven't slept in days." I respond. Her eyes widen, and she tries to look away but I gently grab her chin and make her face me. "I'm sorry..." She whispers. "You have nothing to be sorry about. It's not your fault." I tell her quietly. "But...." She trails. "But nothing... it felt nice to have something to worry about for once." I whispered. Her eyes shoot up and meet mine, her eye wide. She opened her mouth to speak, when a throaty cleared. Crap... forgot he was here... We look over at them. "Hyung, May I speak to you for a second. Please?" He asks, almost succeeding at hiding his smirk. I glare but nod. I glance at her, before following Jungkook out of the room. Once we were out of war shot, we stopped. "What do you want?" I asked. "You really think you just think about her as a blood? Did you even see your interaction, cause I did. And that was anything than JUST a blood treatment. You have never worried about anything in your entire life, why would you care about this one?" He remarks with a smirk. I hesitate. "She's just a blood that's all she'll ever be." I say clenching my fists. "Really? So if she found someone else, you wouldn't be upset?" He questioned. I freeze, and subconsciously clench my teeth. "Of course not." I grit. "Really?" He smirks. That's when I would say words I didn't know I would regret. "SHE'S JUST A BLOOD AND THAT'S ALL SHE'LL EVER BE! SHE'L NEVER MEAN MORE THAN THAT TO ME! I ONLY CARE FOR HER BLOOD!" I yell angrily. I see Jungkook's eyes widen. "H-Hyung..." He stutters. I glare, until I see the look on his face. He slowly lifts his hand and gestures behind me. I slowly turn. I see Marisol supporting (Yn), and (Yn) who looks.... broken. My eyes widen. "(Y-Yn) wa-wait list-listen I—" I start. "It's okay.... I.... I expected this.... I never expected you to ever care about me Master Taehyung..." she whispered. Her heart pounded.... but it was sad. "(Yn)..." I trail, unaware of the tears forming in my eyes. "Yes?" She asked. "H-Heartbeat..." I whisper. "I  know she responds, and Marisol takes her back to the room. "I-I think I sho-should go..." I whispered before running out.
