| CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
Felix watches with caution, the motionless boy resting on Taehyung's bed as said boy is being treated for his wound on the other bed. Taehyung hisses softly, as Hoseok disinfects the cut, "it's not too bad, when you compare it to some other survivors," Hoseok sighs, trying to look on the bright side.
Taehyung nods, biting his lip, "he was so scary, it was like he didn't even recognise me," the boy explains.
Hoseok hums, nodding, "he has been living, for what I assume, in complete beast from for the past three months, with no other connections except that other beast."
Felix suddenly turns his eyes away, "is this the guy you've been hung up on?" He asks, staring Taehyung directly in the eye.
Taehyung looks away, sighing deeply, "yes, yes it is."
"He's killed hundreds, he's not even fucking human! Why are you still hung up on him?"
Taehyung clenches his fist, "because he can be a good person, he just has to see our ways."
===
Hoseok, Taehyung and Felix all watch T.V, with Hoseok and Taehyung laying on top of each other while Felix sits away from the two. "What are we gonna do when he wakes up?" Taehyung asks, rubbing his eyes sleepily. They all decided to stay awake until Jungkook awakes, just so nothing bad happens.
Hoseok shrugs, "what can we do? He could quite literally break my back in half."
Taehyung hums, looking toward his bed, "it's weird. I've been dreaming of the time when Jungkook would return and just when I thought I'd lost him forever, he shows up and almost crushes me to death."
===
Namjoon stares wide eyes at the sleeping body on Taehyung's bed, trying to grasp the situation, "I can't fucking believe you, Taehyung what happens if he wakes up?" Namjoon asks, turning to face the boy.
He shrugs, "I dunno, he could be really calm."
Seokjin rolls his eyes, "there's a higher chance that a plane crashes into this building, then him waking up calm."
Taehyung shrugs once again, "you never know, when we lived together he was always so calm."
Yoongi sighs, walking over to Taehyung, grasping his shoulder, "it's been about three months, you even said it didn't look Jungkook even recognised you. We don't know what happened in the beast brain, we're in dangerous waters here."
Jimin groans loudly, tipping his head back, "I think we're missing a bigger picture here, that female beast is still out there. Anyone thought that maybe, she didn't quite like having Jungkook taken away from her?"
The boys all get into a heated debate, about what they should do when Jungkook wakes up, that none of them heard the soft groan. The raven head's eyes snap open, when he remembers what happened, looking around the room. Jungkook is quick to jump up off the bed, using his supernatural ability to grip onto the ceiling with ease. Yoongi is the first to notice, "guys," he says, gaining their attention as he smacks Hoseok's arm, "Jungkook's missing."
In unison, they all look up, to see the boy staring back at them. Jungkook calmly climbs across the ceiling dropping, down into the centre of the room. "Jungkook, it's me Taehyung, do you remember me?" He asks, slowly approaching the boy. Jungkook's eyes seem to glaze over him, over all of them, as he sniffs the air for a familiar scent.
"Jungkook?" Taehyung asks, taking another cautious step forward. Jungkook starts becoming frantic, sniffing for the scent of his companion, rushing around. The beast's eyes finally lock onto Taehyung's, an ugly growl emits from his throat.
"Where. Is. Haeun," he asks, in the familiar language of clicks and groans.
Taehyung shakes his head, picking up on the fact that Jungkook might be trying to communicate with them. "Jungkook, we can't understand you, you must speak Korean," Taehyung explains slowly.
Jungkook shakes his head, trying to jog his memory of the language, "Haeun," he speaks out, voice hoarse and dry, like he's in much need for water. "Haeun, where, where?" He asks.
"Who's Haeun?" Yoongi asks Hoseok, to which the boy shrugs.
Jungkook's eyes give a hint of a deadly look, as he slowly takes a defensive stance. Taehyung picks up on the way he holds himself, remembering back to the time Jungkook took on the female beast. "Jungkook, we're not going to hurt you, we're here to help you. I'm Taehyung, do you remember me?" Taehyung asks, speaking slowly.
Jungkook snarls, "Haeun," he snaps, before becoming very sad, pulling at his hair. The beast slowly slides down to the floor, flopping into a heap. He looks at his hands, obviously noticing the change.
Taehyung walks forward, unsure of how he will act, "Jungkook, are you okay?" He asks. Jungkook looks up at him with sad eyes, "I... Know this place," he whispers out, before his face morphs into a look of anger. "This makes me angry," He growls, getting up, now speaking in full sentences. "Where the fuck is Haeun, I'll break your fucking back," Jungkook snarls, taking long strides toward Taehyung.
Yoongi steps in front of his friend, with means to protect him, "you won't lay a fucking finger on him."
Jungkook stares into Yoongi's eyes, trying to remember where he has experienced this before, looking around the room. Something sparks in his memory, something that has been buried down in the months of being spent in beast form. Jungkook looks around the room, making strong eye contact with Felix, "who is that," he snarls out.
Felix steps forward, also protecting Taehyung, "I'm Felix, Taehyung's boyfriend," he introduces himself. Jungkook has no idea why, but Felix saying such words, sparks a deep growl inside him.
Taehyung shakes his head in a disappointed manner, stepping in front of Yoongi and Felix, "Jungkook, I'm not scared of you, do you remember me?" He asks.
Jungkook eyes the boy suspiciously, opening his mouth to answer, before his ears pick up on the faintest call to action. The sharp, high pitched scream of Haeun.
