Eyes of a Target

Chapter 13

Taehyung opened his eyes and looked around his room, blinking a few times. It felt like forever when he was trapped in that pit of darkness. He was afraid that he would never be able to get out of it.

He let out a relieved sigh and got up from his bed, letting his sweater fall to his thighs. Taehyung ruffled his hair and got out of bed.

The blonde was surprised by how much he has healed, his legs aren't shaking as they used to. He checked out his body and saw how he had some more meat on his bones.

Taehyung let out a small smile of happiness, he didn't know what helped him get better, but he is happy anyways. Knowing that he is slowly healing.

It was almost noon so Taehyung decided to go out to the kitchen to get himself something. Unaware of the events that happened recently. He could hear the soft patting of his feet echoing throughout the hallways.

Taehyung turned the corner and saw Jeongguk, once again, sitting on one of the high chairs. The mall vampire decided to not let that prevent him from getting something to drink. So he walked past the ravanette and went into the fridge to pour himself some chocolate milk.

The blonde could feel the raven's gase onto him again, causing him to tense up once more. But nothing less, he continued to make his drink.

Taehyung tried to reach up for the cups but he was unable too. Someone could guess that he was short because he was starving for so long, unable to fully grow.

His eyes widened when he saw another, more muscular hand reach for a cup in the cabinet. Taehyung was too frozen to move, all he could do was move his eyes to see Jeongguk grabbing a cup for him.

Jeongguk then handed Taehyung the cup and went back to sitting down on the high chair. Taehyung let out a quiet sigh and continued to make his drink, a light blush was on his face.

Taehyung put all of the ingredients away and went to one of the high chairs, the farthest from Jeongguk. He took a quick glance at him and mumbled a small thank you.

Receiving a chuckle from him, causing Taehyung's blush to increase.

He then watched Jeongguk get up from the chair and went to the couch in the living room. Turning on the tv and watching a show Taehyung didn't recognize. So Taehyung just kept drinking his chocolate milk.

The door then opened up, coming with the sounds of laughter and bickering. Both Taehyung and Jeongguk brought their attention and saw both Namjoon and Seokjin coming in and leaning  as well as pushing on each other. Playfully fighting.

Taehyung was looking at the couple, but more of Namjoon. He felt bad that he was too shy when they met but he couldn't really help it. He knew the wolf wasn't bad or going to cause harm to him, but it is just intimidating for Taehyung to meet new people. That's all.

Namjoon then looked up to see Taehyung staring at him. He just gave the small vampire a wave with his signature dimple like smile.

This caused Taehyung to blush and nod in return. Looking at his lap once more. He heard Namjoon chuckle in amusement, causing him to whine slightly. His blush starts increasing.

What's with everyone making me all flustered today, Taehyung complained in his head.

"Hey Taehyung, how are you feeling?" Seokjin asked while taking his coat off.

"I-I'm feeling better Jin-hyung," Taehyung answered with a small smile creeping on his face. This caused Namjoon to let out an 'awe', while Seokjin smiled widely. I got him to smile, Seokjin proudly thought.

Taehyung got up from his chair and went to go clean out his cup. He turned around to find Seokjin and Namjoon cuddling on the couch, while Jeongguk is on the other side. Looking through his phone.

The blonde then remembered when he blacked out a few days ago. He wanted to ask Seokjin if anything happened.

"U-Um hyung?" Taehyung asked in a quiet voice to where Seokjin almost didn't hear him.

"Yea?"

"Did anything b-bad happen? I-I don't r-remember much of these p-past few days, o-only blacking out," Taehyung said while putting his head down slightly.

He started to fidget more with his fingers when he didn't hear a response. He looked up at Seokjin to see him with an uneasy face. Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

Both Jeongguk and Namjoon looked up at Seokjin with worried faces. All three of them didn't know if they should tell Taehyung the truth. Seokjin doesn't want him to be scared of himself or scared to be around others. Also, he doesn't want Taehyung to possibly have another panic attack.

"N-No, nothing bad happened Tae. You just passed out from malnutrition, that's all," Seokjin answered with a slight sutter.

Taehyung nodded and proceeded to go back into his bedroom and rest some more.

All three of them watched him leave. Jeongguk then felt a little bit of anger boil through his veins. Why didn't Jin-hyung tell Taehyung the truth?! Jeongguk thought while poking his inner cheek with his tongue.

"Why didn't you tell him?" Jeongguk answered in a slightly dangerous tone.

"I didn't want him to be scared Jeongguk"

"But you are causing harm to him by keeping this from him! Did you think of how you would react if he found out? He would still be upset!" Jeongguk said while raising his voice.

Jeongguk scoffed and walked out of the living room, heading to his personal gym to let out some steam. Not understanding what he just said back there. Why am I concerned about what that half blood feels. What is this feeling, I don't like it. Jeongguk angrily thought.

Meanwhile Seokjin sits there with worry and regret about lying to Taehyung. But he wants to keep him safe and not be scared anymore.

Namjoon was surprised by the sudden outburst from Jeongguk. He never knew the raven cared for someone like that. Especially a vampire like Taehyung.

He knew that Jeongguk was ruthless with any supernatural creature he came across. No matter their background. So hearing him speak about Taehyung, worried for him. Left Namjoon in utter shock.

Namjoon blinked and turned to Seokjin, who was rubbing his eyes while sighing loudly. He brought his hand up to Seokjin's back and proceeded to rub it. Wanting to calm his mate.

"It'll be fine, if you tell Taehyung and help him understand then it will work out fine. Just rest on it and think about it later, okay?" Namjoon asked in the most reassuring tone.

Seokjin nodded and leaned into his mate's embrace, sighing from the warmth Namjoon radiated. He knew it was wrong of him to lie to Taehyung, but he panicked at the moment. He now knew that he had to tell the small vampire the truth.

But at what cost?
