Royal Blood | JJK ✓

48: Hold me tight

The world was so cruel, taking away your Jiminie like that.

As you allowed a few more tears to fall, you stared down at your own self then brought Jimin's lips to your neck, hoping and praying that it wasn't too late, that your royal blood could heal him, that it could heal someone dying from the exposure of sunlight.

His teeth bared into your skin and you hissed at the pain that pierced within but ignored it all, not caring one bit about how it made you feel weak. Jimin's life was so much more. He was worth all the pain.

You could feel him drinking you in while you held steadily, breath panting softly as you did your best to hold in the pain.

He left your neck a few seconds later when you brought him back to gently lay him on the floor.

Still crying, you stood up on your feet that trembled from underneath yet stumbled forth to the member closest to you. The leader looked at you with a vulnerable gaze and you blinked the tears away as you brought his lips up to your neck, letting him drink your blood. It hurt a lot and had hurt so much more when you ran over to each one of them, exposing your neck to them as they had no other choice but to bite down.

You could feel yourself on the brink of collapsing but stopped at no one, breathing a sigh of relief as the last member, Jungkook bit down against your neck. You held him close, caressing his head as you cried silently, refusing to let him hear you but you knew Jungkook knew about all the tears. He could feel it from the pits of his stomach and the aching in his chest.

When he finally took his head away, you fell into his now stronger arms. The tears still managed to escape as he held onto you, wondering how you still had tears left to cry when you've balled out so many of them.

"Y/N, hold on." Jungkook's voice sounded so distant as your vision hazed, your eyes blinking slower and slower, each blink falling heavier than the last. Until you could no longer hold them up and let your eyes close. "I've got you, Y/N."

So, so distant. There was still hope, still hope. You felt it when the other members held you, calling out your name and silently letting you know that your blood had healed them. All but one. You cried a little more, the pain in your neck hurting you so much as you felt your body draining, exhaustion hitting you like never before.

But they were worth all the pain.

You didn't know how long you had fallen into a coma but when your mind finally decided to return to the real world, you felt so, so tired.

The sleep still tried to reel you in but you fought against it, knowing you had to wake up to see your friends and show them that you were fine. It was your finger twitching that alarmed Jungkook. You felt his hands enveloping your smaller ones, the hold tight as you heard his breath hitched. Your eyes slowly fluttered open, everything looking so hazy. Each time you blinked, your vision began clearing until finally, you could make out the room you were placed into.

Whatever had happened at Zero's kingdom was all over. You were back and still alive though a part of you still felt emotionally dead, the reminder of Jimin thrown into the sunlight stabbing your heart.

"Y/N," your soulmate called upon your name, feeling the knife that had pierced through you.

You turned your head to look at him, the only man left alone with you. The sudden desire to hold him gave in and you began to reach for him, tears immediate to fall when Jungkook gave you his warmth.

"It's okay, it's all over now," he promised yet you couldn't stop the tears.

It was a long battle of so many tears and pain, fighting through your emotions as you battled with your inner self and the fact that you had yet to forgive yourself for being weak. So many conflicts came in the way, the problems with not being good enough and having to accept the fact that you weren't someone's first soulmate but a replacement. You laid there crying for everything; the loss of your parents, of Jimin, of finally winning and not only you but the world being free from Zero.
