Whalien 52 || Vkook Mermaid au

Ch/: 11

Oml I also forgot to add that Taehyung is getting his powers back (because he is a siren) due to him developing them and somehow it was the fact that him eating kelp and seaweed was preventing that.

I'm sorry for making this au so confusing 😖
I tend to get really bad at explaining and hopefully I can fix up all this.

...

With eyes fluttering open like a delicate butterfly flapping its wings, Taehyung woke up, his hazy gaze looking blankly at the ceiling. Oddly, he felt warm and safe under the comfort that the bed had given him, loosely wrapped up like a cocoon. His aching head squished the pillow underneath, it being moulded around the shape of his head. He snuggled deeper into the covers, wanting nothing more than to sleep once more. It was quiet, with the soft lull of the ocean outside giving a sense of relief.

Taehyung dozed off slowly, his consciousness venturing away as sleep replaced it. While he was on the brink of sleep, a thought came into mind. A...disrupting thought. It was as if he had forgotten the events of yesterday, the memories came crashing down like the violent waves from it.

What am I doing?

What happened?

Where am I??

These were all questions that swirled around Taehyung's head, swarming around like bees. He sat up abruptly, killing off the sense of sleep immediately. His head pounded, sweat beads beginning to form on his ever paling skin.

The sound of the door across the room screeched with a rusted noise, its knob hitting the wall as a figure strode in. The silhouette appeared to be dark, and it took Taehyung a while to adjust to the foreign light which emitted from the hallway.

"Oh great, you're awake." The pirate captain spoke sarcastically, waving his hands like an explosion of a firework.

"Where am I?" Taehyung grunted, trying to let his vision focus on his surroundings.

"In my bed, of course." Jungkook gestured to the features of his room, empathizing the large bed which took up a third of the space.

Taehyung brushed his reply off, not paying attention to what it was hinting to. He sighed, ignoring Jungkook's presence himself. He flopped back in bed, pulling the blanket over his head and pretended to go back to sleep.

"My god. This is like, the third day and I want my bed back!" Jungkook cried out, remembering how uncomfortable the infirmary beds are.

He stomped over to the side of the bed, hauling Taehyung out. Taehyung squealed out of shock, instantly wrapping his arms around Jungkook like his life depended on it, burying his head in the crook of Jungkook's neck.

"What the fuck..." Jungkook felt himself losing control again, before deliberately proceeding to drop the other.

Taehyung, again shocked by Jungkook's sudden actions, let go, his body hitting the floor. Yelping, he whimpered quietly, looking up to read Jungkook's expression.

Jungkook didn't say anything, although he instead climbed into his own bed. Taehyung also wanted to go to sleep too, seeing that the other had also took his spot.

Still on the ground with his aching bum, he peeked up to see Jungkook where he was just a couple of minutes ago.

An idea popped into his head.

"Get off my bed." Jungkook grunted, feeling the bed dip behind him.

"What if I don't?" Taehyung bravely said, even though he was somewhat scared.

"I'll throw you off this ship." Jungkook threatened, half his voice muffled into the pillow.

"And let me be eaten by monsters?!" Taehyung gasped.

"Not my problem." Jungkook muttered.

Despite the pirate's meekly protests, Taehyung joined him under the covers.

"Fucking hell." Jungkook tried to push Taehyung off.

Being the quick, intelligent human he is, Taehyung caught on quick, reaching out to leech his limbs onto Jungkook.

"Let me go, I'll skin you alive." Jungkook squirmed.

"Lies." Taehyung giggled, snuggling into the other.

"I mean it, get off me before I feed you to Jiwhoon." Jungkook scooted away to the other side of the bed, attempting to his own personal space back.

"No!" Taehyung replied back, once again, invading Jungkook, this time holding on tighter.

Jungkook abruptly flipped over, now facing a smiling Taehyung. It was as if time froze, their breaths slowing down while noses barely touching.

He didn't understand the siren. Not what Taehyung was thinking about nor his reasons why to his unusual actions.

"Why?" Jungkook now glared coldly at the other, whose smile was now disappearing.

"I told you to stop," Jungkook day up to hover over the other, his arms trapping the other's head, "How many times would I have to repeat myself?"

Taehyung copied Jungkook's face, staring back with a meekly glare.

"I said, how many times?"

Taehyung didn't respond, instead squeezing out of Jungkook's hold. He grabbed the blanket, scampering out of the room.

Jungkook sighed, flopping back to lay on his bed. His head tried to rid itself of any traces of the other, willing himself to sleep to do so.

A minute barely passed when Jungkook opened his eyes again. He cursed a sting of colorful words, leaving his own room to find Ta- I mean his blanket.

Gosh I planned to have a double update this week buT oMl I hate myself for not doing so
