Attention!

Normally, I don't put this type of warning, because I also don't want to spoil the pleasure of reading with revealing what will happen in the chapter before it starts. However, this chapter proved to be so problematic for some readers that they went so far as to hate on me and throw insults at me. So I decided to add this note.
The switch will appear in this chapter. If it is so triggering for you that you can't stand it, skip this chapter. I think this scene is very important and illustrates V's transformation, but it turns out that not everyone appreciates it, on the contrary, I won't count how many times I was attacked and bullied by the change in dynamics, so if it bothers you in any way, skip this chapter. This chapter contains no other significant events that affect the plot of the book.

Jimin settled on a kitchen stool by the island and watched Jungkook cook closely. They finished training a moment ago, and now the younger one was preparing dinner for himself and his boyfriend. After what Jackson did at EXO, V drove with him and Hobi to the vampire's house to talk to him calmly. Jungkook got on his motorcycle and returned home. Then - as he promised V - he called Jimin to train with him.

When the vampire asked him to do so, he knew that it was not about having someone to train with. V was afraid for him. He did not want him to be alone in his absence. With what was happening with Jin now, he wanted to know he was safe and Jungkook did not blame him. He himself felt the same. Every time they parted, he feared it might be the last time he saw him. That made him appreciate every moment they could spend together even more.

- Are you worried about V? - the blond vampire asked suddenly, watching him closely. The younger looked up and looked at his friend, still cutting the vegetables in front of him.

- I worry about him every time I lose sight of him - he replied with a deep sigh. - I know it's stupid, but...

- You love him. It is normal that you do not want something to happen to him - saying that the blond man smiled at him. His smile was warm, his eyes were shining.

- I never thought I could do that... - Jungkook began, shifting his eyes to the chopping board.

His hands moved together with a sharp knife. He was never an outstanding cook, but he did quite well. Growing up without a mother, he and uncle had to learn to cook themselves. As a teenager, he usually dealt with the preparation of meals. Although his skills were nothing comparing to what V conjured up many times for him, this time he wanted to prepare something for him. He looked at Jimin and saw the vampire watching him closely, waiting for him to continue. He licked his lips and set the knife down on the counter, then leaned his hip against the island and began wiping his hands on the cloth.

- I never thought I could love someone so much...

At his words, Jimin's eyes softened immediately. He could only guess what the younger felt. Everyone knew that there could be only one ending in this story, although no one dared to talked about it out loud.
