Fangs and Bunny Teeth

18 - Regrets

Yeonjun gently placed his hands on Namjoon's cheeks, caressing them with love. He looked into his eyes with both sorrow and happiness. He was in the verge of tears after seeing the face of the one he had lost for so long.

It wasn't long until Namjoon's body was totally engulfed in Yeonjun's warm embrace. The two mermans watched in confusion as Yeonjun continued his act. Namjoon on the other, was barely even breathing any longer. Yeonjun realized that and focused on treating his wounds.

"Hongjoon... Did you miss me?" Yeonjun asked while he stared into Namjoon's eyes deeply. He painfully carved a smile on his face as he shed a tear.

Taehyung and Jimin were confused. Why did the vampire talk about Hongjoon? Hongjoon, the elf that betrayed the forest? What connection did he have with Hongjoon? Why is he caressing his cheeks like how lovers do?

"I'm, sorry sir... but that's Namjoon... our wizard friend..." Taehyung point out, making Yeonjun turn towards him. He frowned and slapped himself.

Hongjoon is dead Yeonjun!Get a grip of yourself!

Yeonjun sighed and looked into Namjoon's eyes again. His hair is a different colour and so is his eyes. And his intentions are dark as well.

His Hongjoon would never mean to harm anyone.

He proceeded to clean and treat the wound on Namjoon's right arm. He did it with silence, throwing glances to Namjoon's face. He didn't want to believe it but this is not the person he fell in love with. And this is not the person who saved his life. After he was done, he stood up and went through the cell door, quickly closing it.

As he was about to leave, Taehyung asked him about Hongjoon and what his relationship with him was. He stopped and looked at Taehyung with disgust.

"Hongjoon was an elf who wanted to become a wizard but was too poor to go to school."

"We know the story! He's a traitor to Magical Forest, he was gonna set fire on the Magical Forest with the help of his Dark Creature friend!"

Yeonjun snickered. He shoved his hands into the pockets on his jacket. He smirked and asked Taehyung.

"Was that what they told you, little merman?"

Taehyung wanted to scream yes but a feeling made him feel like it's better not to. Because it seems like he heard the story in a wrong version.

"Let me tell you while I show you the proof?"

Yeonjun reached out his hands towards Taehyung. The merman looked at him, confused as of what he should do. Should he trust him?

"You can trust me. I'm just showing you my memory. We vampires, remember everything." He said, luring Taehyung into putting his hands on his. Taehyung gulped and reached out for Yeonjun's hands.

As soon as his skin made contact with Yeonjun's, his eyes closed and Yeonjun's memories started to flood into his mind rapidly.

He saw the first time they met.

"I'm Hongjoon!"

"Let's be friends!"

The first time they confessed and kissed.

"Then I get to wish for something, right?"

"I love you."

And then it gets dark.

"They're very nice Creatures!"

He saw Hongjoon tied up to a tree. He was surrounded by the Tribe Leaders. The elf Leader had a dagger in his hands. He wanted to kill Yeonjun and wanted to use Hongjoon as bait.

"No please! I'll die in return for his life!"

Yeonjun appeared and tried to save him but the sun in the Magical Forest prevents him from doing so. He fell to the ground, tired and burnt, almost closer to death. What pains him more is seeing the dagger going through Hongjoon's stomach.

He felt...

P A I N .

Yeonjun thought they would die together.

"Thank you..."

The tree grew taller and grew bigger. It was just enough to provide shade for Yeonjun.

He lived until now.

"Be strong, for me. Yeah?"

He yanked his hands away from Yeonjun's so fast, not wanting to feel anything more hurtful and in the process of doing, he lost his balance and fell on his bum. He was shaking and his eyes full of sorrow. Jimin quickly went to his aid, asking him what's wrong.

Yeonjun smirked.

"What'd you think? Hurts like a bitch huh?" He said and left the dungeon.

Taehyung have never been so grateful to just breathe normally. As a Creature who grew up around positivity and thinking that he's depressed, he suffered a much greater depression from a Creature that was supposed to create depression to them.

"Hongjoon... isn't a traitor..." he said.

"What do you mean?" Jimin asked.

"I saw your mother. She was there. They all were. The Tribe Leaders." He continued mumbling.

"There where?"

"Verratër tree. The place where Hongjoon died. It's where they killed that vampire's lover."

"That vampire's lover... is Hongjoon?!"

"He didn't betray anyone... He just wanted peace for all of us... And the Tribe Leaders killed him for loving that vampire...." Taehyung couldn't contain his tears any longer.

He has never felt a sorrow like this.

It hurts.

Jungkook's eyes fluttered open to see a whole new view. It wasn't a view of his room. Neither is it a view of Yoongi's room either. It was a view of the sleeping vampire himself, right in front of him.

How did I get into this situation again?!

He remembers hugging Yoongi and crying, but he didn't really remember the part where he came in here and sleep with Yoongi. Not that he's complaining.

Being with Yoongi has been one of his comfort. He felt safe and warm whenever he's with Yoongi. It's almost like Yoongi's protecting him from anything at all.

Jungkook took a deep breath and couldn't help but smile when he picked up Yoongi's scent. He smelt like old books and vanilla. He stared at Yoongi's soft face and admired it. He brought his hands to touch his cheeks, caressing it. His thumbs gently brushing against his smooth skin, moving on to touching his lips.

Jungkook suddenly felt something in his heart. He started to blush as his heart beated twice faster. He closed his eyes and drew closer towards his lips.

"What are you doing?"

"NOTHING!!"

Jungkook yelled, immediately turning around, facing the other side. He was beet red after the small incident. Yoongi stifled a laugh. He used his fingers and made Jungkook turn back around to face him. He chuckled when he saw Jungkook's red and flustered face.

"Stop laughing!" Jungkook yelped, covering his face with both his hands and his droopy rabbit ears.

Yoongi used his hands and removed Jungkook's hands and ears from covering his adorable face. He smiled at the bunny, not making anything easier. He smiled. He knew that Jungkook was trying to kiss him. He was actually shocked.

All these times others have been treating him normally like how a king is supposed to be treated. Or wanting him dead. Jungkook actually wants to... kiss him? Out of love? Out of curiosity?

"You're really something else, Kookie."

He said as he closed in to Jungkook's lips.
