:)

Also, um, a little warning, but you might need to get some tissues ready.

A deep, scream clawed it's way out of Taehyung's throat, witnessing the bloody ordeal that took place before his very eyes.

His hazel eyes widened in disbelief as he watched the dagger impale his beloved.

"Jungkook!"

He screamed, not believing that the raven had gathered enough energy to push him away from danger.

Why? This can't be happening.

Taehyung watched blood ooze out of the nearly formed wound, tinting the ground in a spectacular shade of red.

Eun-jung smirked, dangerously twisting the knife in her brother who was already having difficulties breathing.

"You always seem to get in my way, don't you brother?" She purred, maniacal smile still plastered on her perfect, porcelain face. "Nevermind that. I'll just get rid of you first. Say hello to mum and dad for me, will you?"

Before Eun-jung could do anything, however, she was powerfully ripped from Jungkook's body, her slim figure landing a distance away across the field.

Taehyung scurried to kneel in front of the raven, tears collecting in his eyes as he took in his terrible state.

He surveyed wound after wound, each one deeper than the last, his now dirty clothes, all drenched in his own blood. He was losing a lot of blood fast, seeing his dangerously sickly pale skin.

The ravenette was having trouble breathing, his chest rising up and down in slow breathes as he tried to take in oxygen through his burning lungs.

Tears burned Taehyung's eyes, seeing the dagger still in his chest.

He tried to pull it out, but the raven stopped him.

"D-don't." He gasped out, having difficulty speaking. "I-it'll only m-make me bleed e-even more. A-and i want to s-spend as much time i h-have left with y-you."

Taehyung's lips trembled, tears pouring from his eyes as he saw how Jungkook smiled weakly at him.

"D-don't you dare say that." Taehyung sobbed. "Y-you're making it through this. Y-you're not going anywhere."

Jungkook could only chuckle, coughing out instantly after.

Taehyung panicked, grasping Jungkook's pale hand tightly.

Jungkook stared at Taehyung, dark eyes holding fondness and love for the small vampire. He brought a weak arm up to gently caress the face of his beloved, feeling the salty tears staining his cheeks.

"You're b-beautiful, love." Jungkook said softly, unable to breathe properly.

Taehyung managed a small laugh before his expression changed into a miserable one.

"W-why, Jungkook? Why d-did you have to push me away and jump in front of m-me. Y-you idiot." Taehyung stuttered, more tears dripping from his eyes as he replayed the scene in his mind.

Jungkook smiled softly, still caressing his mate's cheek.

"Didn't i t-tell you that...that i'd give my life for you a-and the ones i loved?" Jungkook said, smile not leaving his face.

Taehyung sobbed even lolder.

Jungkook smiled fondly.

"Y-you know, love. I remember the d-day we first met. How w-we thought you were a measly h-human. A-and how you saved my life from that rogue." He said.
