brokenly beautiful 𐤀ᵏᵛ

chapter twenty-four

The smell of flowers and dew awakes Taehyung from his deep slumber, making the brunette groan as he sits up groggily.

He looks around, taking in the familiar surrounding.

"Taehyung." A melodious voice calls out, instantly grabbing the latter's attention as he swiftly turns his head to face the direction of the voice.

There, smiling softly at the younger male, hair a beautiful shade of brown and eyes a glittering sapphire, stood his mother, Lee Yuri.

"Mum? Why am i here again?" Taehyung asked as Yuri sat down slowly beside him.

"Oh, yes. About that." Yuri smiles as she looks at Taehyung with a a glint in her eyes, making the brunette raise a questioning eyebrow.

"You've found your mate, haven't you?" Yuri asks, making Taehyung's eyes widen.

Taehyung looks at his fingers, slowly fidgeting with them. "W-well, yeah. That's what i'm told anyways. But vampires don't have mates."

Yuri laughs, earning a pout from the smaller male as she softly pats her son's head.

"Oh, Taehyung. Yes, vampires don't have mates. But are you forgetting that you're not entirely of vampire blood?" Yuri says, making Taehyung snap his head up.

His heart rate fastens in realisation as his eyes widened, gawking at his mother. "So, your kind has mates?" Taehyung asks curiously.

Yuri smiles before she nods.

"Yes, Taehyung." She replies before she scoots closer towards her son, wiggling her eyebrows in the process. "Now, tell me. How's she like?"

Taehyung's cheeks flushed at his mother's question, mind instantly thinking of the raven male.

"I-it's a male, mother." He whispers, catching his mother off-guard.

A bright smile immediately lights up her face. "That's wonderful, sweetheart. What's he like?

"Well, i kinda accidentally stumbled upon his territory. That was when i also kinda saved him from a rogue werewolf. After that, he ignored me for a few weeks." Taehyung breathed. "But then he became really sweet and told me i was his mate."

Yuri smiled. "He sounds nice, dear. What's his name?"

"Jeon J-jungkook."

Yuri's smile quickly disappeared as a frown replaced her beautiful face.

"Did you say Jeon?" She asks, her voice almost a whisper.

Taehyung raised an eyebrow, looking towards his mother. "Yes. Is there something wrong, mum?" He asks, eyes showing confusion as his mother shakes her head, eyes closed as a pained expression falls upon her features.

"It can't be. I didn't know they had a son." She mumbles, confusing Taehyung even more.

"What do you mean, mum?" Taehyung asks, Yuri snapping her head back up.

"I-it's his family. His parents to be exact." Yuri says, before she furrows her eyebrows. "Has he ever mentioned anything about his family to you?"

Taehyung thinks momentarily, trying to remember if Jungkook ever told him about his family or background. He shakes his head, earning another sigh from his mother.
