Yoongi stared at his reflection in the mirror, making sure there were no signs that he was a Gumiho. His human form looked pretty good, minus the fact that it hid all of his fox parts.

"Do I look human enough to you?" Yoongi asked, turning to face Jungkook, who was sitting on the bed.

"Yeah... But there's one thing..." Jungkook said, looking down at the mattress.

"What?" Yoongi looked down at his body, thinking Jungkook was talking about him.

"I haven't left this place in ages. I smell." Jungkook scrunched up his nose. Yoongi smiled as he plonked himself down on the bed next to him.

"You smell fine to me. And I have a sensitive nose..." Jungkook smiled slightly as he continued to look at the mattress. He still felt slightly awkward about last night, but he and Yoongi had agreed that it was done as a necessity rather than a want and therefore could easily be put into the back of their minds.

"But if you want to clean yourself, we can go to the lake." Yoongi said after a few moments of silence. "I'm sorry I'm such a terrible host, I'm not good with people."

"It's okay. But yeah, I would like to clean myself." Yoongi nodded, standing back up.

"Just don't take off your undies."

Yoongi sat at the edge of the water, holding a towel, as he watched Jungkook bathe. Taehyung sat next to him, though he was watching Yoongi and smiling slightly.

Yoongi noticed Taehyung staring and frowned, looking at him.

"What?" Taehyung shook his head and looked at out the lake, still smiling. "Why are you smiling like that?"

"The way you act with that human... It's so cute." Yoongi frowned, looking out at Jungkook, who was having a hard time getting the willpower to wet himself with the freezing cold water.

"What do you mean?" Yoongi looked back at Taehyung.

"You're so protective - yes, I've heard what you've told everyone - and you're so... You're so..." Taehyung huffed when he couldn't find the right word. "Adorable.."

"Uh... Okay..." Yoongi looked back out at Jungkook and a small smile appeared on his lips. "Hang on, I'll be back in a sec."

Yoongi turned into a fox and padded out into the water. He silently swam up behind Jungkook and then turned back into a human, wrapping his arms around Jungkook and pulling him back into the water. Jungkook squealed as the icy cold water enveloped him, while Yoongi laughed.

"And that, is what I mean." Taehyung muttered with a smile, sighing slightly. "They're so perfect."

Yoongi tensed as he walked down the street, trying his hardest not to lose control and attack the nearest person. Due to the little incident last night, he wasn't able to eat any hearts and was now suffering the first signs of withdrawals.

And that wasn't helped by the fact he was surrounded by beating hearts.

Jungkook noticed Yoongi tensed and did the only thing he could think of, which was reach out and hold Yoongi's hand. Yoongi looked down at their hands, frowning slightly, before looking up at Jungkook, who smiled at him.

"Just ignore all of the people." Jungkook said quietly as they walked, leaning closer to Yoongi so he could whisper without worrying about getting overheard. "All we need to do is go to the shops and then leave. You can do it."

Jungkook squeezed Yoongi's hand and Yoongi frowned, trying hard to ignore all the humans around him, but concentrating on ignoring them only made him notice them more. For a brief second, his eyes flashed gold and his grip tightened around Jungkook's hand. Jungkook look down and noticed the claws slightly digging into his hand and then looked up at Yoongi, who was obviously struggling.

"Yoongi." Jungkook said, drawing Yoongi's attention to him.

"It's no good, Jungkook, I need to eat their hearts. I can smell them." Yoongi whispered. "I can hear their blood pumping through their bodies, I can practically taste-"

Yoongi's eyes widened as Jungkook's lips impacted with his, using his grip on Yoongi's wrist to pull him close. Jungkook slowly moved his lips against Yoongi's, and Yoongi relaxed into the kiss.

Jungkook smiled slightly when he pulled away, his cheeks growing pink.

"Well that was unexpected..." Yoongi said slowly.

"But did you want to eat any hearts while I was kissing you?" Yoongi shook his head. "Exactly."

"I have to admit, you're a pretty good distraction." Jungkook smiled as he leaned up and whispered in Yoongi's ear, purposefully making sure his lips brushed against his skin.

"Now imagine what we could do if you went a hundred days without eating hearts..."
