Blood Tie

Chapter 34

Rox's POV

Jimin's statement made me want to shiver from the promise his words held. He glanced at me and wiggled his eyebrows at me suggestively before bolting off to some unknown part of the room, leaving me alone. I wasn't alone for long though as I felt a weight drop onto the cushion next to me and an arm settle across my shoulders. I turned to to find the owner of the arm was Changkyun as he smiled charmingly at me. I felt eyes watching me only to look up to find Jungkook eyeing me and then Changkyun's arm before he shifted his gaze to Yoongi who met his eyes and then assessed my situation. I felt my eyebrows pull together in confusion at Yoongi and Jungkook's behavior as I thought they hated each other at this point. My attention was then pulled away as Changkyun had started speaking to me.

"So I heard you're going on a date with Yoongi."

"How did you find out about that, it literally just happened today."

"Good news travels fast I guess." He stared at his hand in his lap after stating this and I could feel a somber weight settle on him as he sat next to me.

"I really don't have a chance with you, do I?" He lifted his gaze to meet mine and I found myself struggling to respond to his statement. What was I supposed to say? He had hurt me in so many ways but claimed it was out of not knowing how to deal with his feelings and feeling like I had abandoned him. I understand those feelings but at the same time cannot forget his actions. Taking my lack of an answer as a sign to continue, he smiled sadly before speaking.

"I know my actions have probably ruined any chance with you I could have had but just know I won't give up until I absolutely have no hope. I love you Roxana and I will fight for you." I stared at him in shock as he leaned in and kissed my cheek softly before pulling away, ruffling my hair and walking away from me. Just as I was trying to collect my thoughts, the room went silent as Jimin began speaking.

"So everyone I have prepared a game to get this party going, so prepare yourselves for childish game that always seem to make things interesting!" We all looked at him questioningly and he sighed deeply at our looks of confusion.

"We are playing truth, dare or drink everybody, but not just any drink, the drink of choice this evening is ambrosia!" The amount of reactions to this amused me, ranging from shock to fright to happiness. Jimin merely grinned devilishly at the varied expressions on everyone's faces. Jin then spoke up after noticing Jimin's smile.

"Aish, ambrosia Jimin? Really? You know how dangerous that is." Jin's eyebrows furrowed and he crossed his arms, looking at Jimin how a parent would while scolding their child. A hand shot up from near the couch I was sitting on as I realized the hand belonged to Jungkook who had slowly been making his way closer to me.

"What's ambrosia?" I heard a few snickers from around the room and after looking around, I noticed Jungkook was now drawing the attention of nearly all the new female eyes. I tried to quell the rising sense of possessiveness over him as I focused on Jimin's explanation.

"You know what ambrosia is Kook, it's what I had you drink earlier, remember?" Jimin made eye contact with Jungkook and appeared to wiggle his eyebrows suggestively, causing Jungkook to flush and leaving me filled with questions.

"YOU GAVE HIM AMBROSIA?! YOU PUT HIM AT RISK, GODAMMIT JIMIN, LEAVE HIM PURE!" Jin's voice boomed loudly through the room as he began chasing Jimin with what appeared to be the punch ladle in his hand. The room was filled with laughs and giggles as the boys put on a show and I noticed a very confused look on Jungkook's face. I reached out and touched his bare arm softly, trying not to focus on the warmth of his skin under my hand or the way his muscles twitched from my touch. He jumped slightly and stared down at me with wide, hazy seeming eyes.

"Ambrosia is a very potent and addicting alcoholic drink that affects hybrids rather strongly, how much did you drink Jungkook?" I scrunched my face in worry as he just stared at me, not answering. After about a minute, he appeared to shake himself and answered me weakly.

"I had two cups, I think." My eyebrows furrowed in worry at the thought of him drinking anymore tonight but my mind was quickly pulled away when I heard a loud crack followed by a shout and whimpering afterwards. Both me and Jungkook's attention snapped to the sound to see Jin staring at Jimin with his arms crossed and the ladle still in hand as Jimin pouted at him while rubbing the top of his head, messing up his bright crimson hair. More laughter was heard throughout the room until it was cut off by Tae announcing that the game would be starting. Everyone came to the couch area where Jungkook and I were and settled into seats. During this Jungkook quickly sat next to me and ended up pressed closely to the side of my body to make room for others. Due to the little space, Jungkook rested his arm across my shoulders and I tried not to let the scent of him or his warmth carry me away. Yoongi sat on my other side and casually rested his hand on my almost completely bare thigh. His hand splayed across my thigh, looking almost territorial. I felt my face flame up at the the boys who decorated my sides as the girls in the room threw curious glances in my direction.

Jimin sighed happily as he sat in front of me on the floor, back against my knees and let his head fall back onto my lap as he grinned childishly at me. His soft hair tickled my legs and I couldn't help but gulp at the situation I was currently in the middle of. Tae climbed onto Yoongi's lap much to my surprise and if I'm not mistaken, giggled. Taehyung, the demon, just fucking giggled. Yoongi casually wrapped his other arm around Tae's waist and I pondered at what this must look like to all the new girls, me being draped all over by 4 guys, not so much Tae but almost as he was climbing all over Yoongi. I caught Changkyun's eyes across the room and he quickly looked away but not before I could catch the glimpse of pain in his eyes. Jimin grabbed my hand suddenly and put it in his hair, smiling at me sweetly as he did so. I chuckled softly and let my hand run through his soft hair, playing with it as a distraction from the overwhelming feelings inside me. I noticed the girl with pink hair, Acacia I think, eyeing my hand in his hair before catching my gaze and blushing and quickly looking away. I smirked to myself at her cute reaction and watched as her gaze almost immediately strayed to Jimin again.

Everyone eventually settled into their seats and nervous but excited looks filled the room. Jimin spoke from the floor as all eyes were on him, "Alright everyone the rules are simple, you will pick truth or dare. If given a dare you absolutely cannot do, the penalty is drinking a full glass of ambrosia. So I'll start, Joonie, truth or dare?"
