Deep down.

Chapter Four

It had been a week since Jeongguk had seen Taehyung after their intimate encounter and the younger boy was worried.

He hadn't been in school and he couldn't reach him at his studio. Jeongguk wondered if he had returned to the sea after getting what he wanted.

This thought made him mad, I mean how dare he use the fact that he didn't know much about his kind to get him into bed, it was just ...nasty.

Again he was stood outside his door, his fist raised, about to knock when he heard a noise coming from inside. He placed his ear to the door and listened, what he heard startled him, it sounded like pained sobs.

"Taehyung? Is that you?"

He shouted through the cold wood.

He placed his ear to the wood, and attempted to train his hearing on what was happening inside. He heard the lock click and he pushed the door open, what greeted him made his body go cold.

Taehyung was laying on the floor dark purple blood all over him, holding his leg which was slashed in three places, he was naked. Jeongguk rushed over and grabbed his shoulders, the blond looked up at him, his face tired and pained.

"Help me." He whispered out before his body slumped into Jeongguk's arms.

Jeongguk froze momentarily and looked down at the passed out blond, then he looked at his leg, it looked like claw marks or teeth marks, and he wondered what on earth had caused this. He placed his free arm under his legs, being careful not to catch the wound, and wrapped his other arm securely around his shoulders, lifting him up and placing him on the bed, then he looked around, searching for a first aid kit.

After ten minutes he blew his hair out of his eyes, not having been able to find one, he knew he would have to dress the wound somehow, it was then he saw a dish towel and he grabbed it and rushed over to the blond, he lifted his leg and dabbed at the wound. Looking up at Taehyung every now and then.

He grabbed a towel from the bathroom and wrapped the material around his leg, placing it down and biting his lip as he looked at Taehyung, his face was sweaty so Jeongguk leant over and touched his head, he was warm but not too bad, and he didn't think it was a fever, maybe only a result of his injuries.

He bit his lip as he wondered what to do, he looked at the door and spotted Taehyungs keys hanging in the door lock, then looked back at the male beside him. He covered him over then stood and rushed over to the door, he grabbed the keys and left the studio locking the door behind him

He rushed down the street and spotted a chemist, grinning he rushed over and into the shop. The chemist looked up as he entered, startled by the force with which he entered. Jeongguk rushed over to him.

"I need your help please..." He said, his breath fast and laboured.

"What's the problem sir?"

"My Friend...his leg is cut pretty bad, I need everything you can advise to help him, and medicine, I need medicine."

"If your friend is cut bad...shouldn't you get an ambulance to him..."

"No..." Jeongguk screamed at him then apologised. "Sorry....He's afraid of hospitals..." It was only a small lie, but the brunette was desperate.

The man nodded and got to work gathering what Jeongguk would need, he bagged it all up and the younger paid for it, rushing out and back to Taehyung after thanking the man.

He didn't know why he didn't want to get him an ambulance...why he wanted to help him himself...he had his legs not his tail...maybe it was if anything was spilled on him, he couldn't risk his friends identity being revealed.
