43. VAMPTASY

Yoongi turned into the driveway and parked the car next to the black Ducati. The motorcycle stood for several days exactly as V parked it the day Jungkook disappeared. It's been a week since the boy decided to move out and since then no one has heard from him. Yoongi knew that V was looking for him as soon as he disappeared, so he did not expect that he would be able to determine where he is now, but he also carried out his small investigation, but it did not lead him to anything. It looked as if the boy had melted. He had no family, completed all the formalities regarding the workshop, did not take the motorcycle, his cell phone was deactivated. He had no way to track him. There was no place he could start with. He only managed to find out that Jungkook had paid out a large amount of cash the day before his disappearance, then he no longer used any of his cards. V was right to say that Jungkook had become one of the ghosts they couldn't find.

Jimin tried to call him from time to time, leaving him with numerous message on his answering machine, and finally it was full. It was now a week since V last saw him, and they knew less than at the very beginning. Perhaps the boy was actually scared that Jin found out about him and decided to disappear. The only good effect of his disappearance was that if they didn't know where he was, Jin probably knew even less than they did. And that meant that - wherever the boy was now - he was safe.

It was different when it comes to V.

Since recent events in Jungkook's workshop, Jin has given no trace of life, but V has lost all enthusiasm for anything. Yoongi came to him every day, tried to talk to him, but the vampire shut down himself so much that he could not break through his wall. From that night, when they found him with Jimin drunk in the empty hot tub, V didn't say a word. Sometimes he just threw some monosyllables, which frustrated Yoongi even more. He didn't know how to get to him and what to do to ease his suffering. He was still worried about him, but it seemed that at least V was no longer going to take his own life, which pleased him immensely. This was some progress - although he knew that there was still a long way to go.

He took a deep breath and got out of the car. Finally, after a few days of downpour, the rain stopped, although large puddles remained on the ground. Now, finally, the thick clouds gave way to the blue of the sky, and the sun timidly showed its presence. Yoongi looked at the sky. He felt a little better looking at its blue color. Perhaps this is the day after all, he thought, then headed for the warehouse.

The training room was empty as usual. He looked around, feeling strange, not seeing V or Jungkook anywhere. He got used to the younger presence. At first he wasn't sure if the boy was good enough for V, but when he saw him slowly undressing him from every layer under which the vampire was hiding for years, he knew they were made for each other. When they finally admitted their love for each other, Yoongi trusted that V was in good hands. He was sure that Jungkook would do everything not to hurt him and suddenly, quite unexpectedly, he did something like that...

He felt anger and disappointment, thinking of him, which left a bitter taste on his tongue that he couldn't get rid of. He did not understand his behavior. How can you give up on someone you supposedly love the most in the world? It was unlike Jungkook, whom he knew and loved, like his own brother. Watching V suffer after his disappearance, he came here each time feeling a greater burden on his heart. He looked away from the mat on which the boy usually trained and started up the stairs towards the apartment.
