| CHAPTER TWENTY
Jungkook wakes up like every other day, with Taehyung curled up in his arms, spending the first few minutes of his day, looking at the beauty in front of him. Soft fluffy strands of hair, delicately frame the boy's face in the most ethereal way possible. Studying the delicate slop of the boy's nose, his strong eyebrows and mismatched eyelids. They all seem to be so inconsequential yet to the younger, it makes Taehyung look like an angel sent right from the heavens, into his arms. Jungkook sighs, unwilling to leaving the warm confinements of his bed. But alas he gets up, turning on the T.V as a way of waking up Taehyung, just like he's done every single day for the past month or so.
Taehyung's eyes flutter open to the sound of the T.V and sizzling bacon. He sits up, scratching is messy hair looking over to see his ripped roommate making them both breakfast. "Morning Jungkook," Taehyung yawns, gaining the attention of said boy.
Jungkook smiles affectionately, feeling his heart flutter at the sight of the soft angelic boy. The way the sun reflects off his honey caramel skin, blessing Taehyung's soft features, Jungkook has come to love. The beast can't believe he used to think seeing someone in such a way as strange, seeing the urge to love as repulsing. Now all Jungkook wants to do is kiss Taehyung's honey thighs, and make him feel like the king of the world. "Good morning, I have breakfast for you," Jungkook greets, sliding a plate of bacon and eggs over onto the breakfast bar.
Taehyung shows Jungkook his beautiful boxy smile, crawling out of bed over to the food. "You've gotten super fit lately," Taehyung comments, inspecting Jungkook and all his different array of muscles.
The younger smirks, "I do it for you baby," he lies, turning back around to grab himself some food, leaving Taehyung bright red.
===
The two roommate roam around campus, with Jungkook deciding to walk Taehyung to his class today. Their peaceful stroll is interrupted by one of their friends, bolting toward them. Jungkook is the first to pick up on the sound of heavy footsteps, be lining toward them from otherwise suspiciously quite campus. Taehyung only notices when his friend is tackled on top of him, pushing the two to the ground.
"What the fuck are you doing? Are you trying to end up dead?" Hoseok angrily snaps, roughly grabbing onto Taehyung's shirt, shaking the poor boy about. The action taking both boys surprised, simultaneously making Jungkook's possessiveness and instinct to protect kick in.
An angry Jungkook shoves Hoseok off Taehyung, helping Taehyung up, "what's your problem? Are you on drugs? Don't fucking touch Taehyung," Jungkook snarls, standing in front of the elder.
Hoseok rolls his eyes, getting up off the ground and dusting himself off, "look this isn't the time to be a protective boy friend, the whole city is being shut down today."
Taehyung quirks an eyebrow, "why the hell would they do that?"
Hoseok groans, rolling his eyes, "don't you watch the news? Another beast is on the loose and it's out for blood, it killed an entire street of people in fifteen minutes flat. If you thought the other beast was bad, this is so much worse." Jungkook feels his heart plummet to his stomach, his head now whipping around to check their surroundings, not another soul in sight. "Namjoon didn't even want me going out to get you guys, since you weren't picking up your phones," Hoseok further explains.
Jungkook's face drains of all colour, "I need to go to the lab," he quickly informs, all ready to take off until Taehyung pulls the back of his shirt.
"Nah uh! There's a crazy beast running around, you're coming back to the dorm with me," Taehyung snaps, waving a finger in his face.
Hoseok groans, rolling his eyes, "guys, this is no time to argue, this thing kills almost anything that moves," he says, attempting to pull Taehyung along.
Jungkook shakes his head, "look you go back with Hoseok, but this could be an escaped prototype from my lab. I need to check this out," Jungkook half lies. "I promise I'll be okay."
Taehyung gives him a look of uncertainty, before allowing himself to be pulled off by Hoseok.
===
Jungkook walks around the abandoned lab, red lights flashing slowly, the dim lights hardly effect his apex vision. The beast follows his nose, sniffing around the empty halls for a familiar scent. He walks down the daunting hallways, the uneasiness of a similar smell to his, growing stale throughout the whole building it seems. Jungkook steps into through the broken door, the strong scent of blood hitting his nose.
The monster turns his head to where the smell is coming from. A lifeless body lays smashed to smithereens on the ground, his blood being dragged around the wall. Jungkook already knows who it is, just by the brutal way of the kill. "Chanwoo..." Jungkook whispers, taking a cautious step forward, although he knows the human is dead. His skull split and crushed into bloody bits. His body has massive claw marks running down Chanwoo's torso, explaining the pool of sticky, dried blood he's sitting in. It looks as if Project One has carefully picked each one of the scientist's muscles out from under the skin, as Jungkook can see the meaty tissue, stringing from his wrists, ankles and armpits.
Jungkook runs back through the halls, finding his way to main lab, looking for any sign of Project One and where she could be headed. The sound of T.V, still softly plays throughout the lab, as the beast turns the place upside down. A small scribble on a note, in scratchy writing is addressed to Jungkook.
Dear Beast,
That police team you took down is quite the achievement, thank you for riling Chanwoo up to that kind of anger. My revenge was truly beautiful, as I'm sure you've already seen. I will be on my way to take back control of Seoul, I have quite the catching up to do. Don't worry, I'll go on my own little rampage and then I'll come looking for you. I haven't forgotten our deal, no need to fret. I'll find your scent just fine, we smell so similar.
See you soon, One
"Taehyung has my scent all over him..." Jungkook whispers to himself, the colour draining from his face.
