chapter fourteen • ❤️

  "mom? dad?" i yell, bursting into my house. of course, they must have still been at work. i rush upstairs to my bedroom, jungkook following closely behind me.

  "where is the book?" he asks, stepping into my room with me. i search for it, "here." i find it on my bed where i left it this morning. "what's the whole deal with that book anyways?" i ask.

  "have you read it?" he questions.

  i nod slowly, "yeah?"

  "it's a lot to take in, trust me... i made this book and only a few people had read it since it was created. this book holds secrets that most vampires want for themselves. i've had many people trying to steal it from me." jungkook places the book in his pocket.

  "why do you just carry it around with you if it's so valuable?" i ask as he takes a seat on the bed.

  "because, i can handle myself. you shouldn't be so worried." he chuckles, giving me a smirk. i smile widely, "stop it."

  "what?" he jokes.

  "you're face, it's just so annoying." i lie before laughing.

  "whatever-" jungkook wraps his arms around me, pulling me onto the bed with him. we lay beside each other for a moment, staring at each other before his phone rings.

  i watch jungkook as he stares at the screen, "shit."

  i wonder who it could be?

  i try my best to listen to the conversation, but jungkook gives me a look and stands up, stepping out into the hallway. i sigh, remaining on my bed.

  minutes pass before jungkook peeks his head back into my room. he looks so upset. "what is it?" i ask, standing to my feet.

  "it's taehyung, he had to leave town earlier than i expected..." jungkook frowns, walking over to me. he cups his large hands around my forearms, looking at me with anticipation, "did you speak to him today?"

  "i saw him at school, he was protecting me from jimin, but he didn't talk about leaving or anything." i tell him and he furrows his eyebrows. "he was protecting you from jimin? what happened?"

  "it was nothing, really, jimin was just trying to be nice-"

  "let me stop you right there, jimin is not trying to be nice... he is trying to take you away from me and you can't seem to realize that." jungkook's tone took a turn and i could tell he was angry.

  "i'm sorry, don't be mad." i say.

  suddenly, there's a loud noise outside that startles me. i gasp, "what was that?"

  jungkook pulls me close to him, "come on, we need to get out of here."

  we rush down the steps and into the living room. jungkook heads to the window and peeks through the curtains. "what do you see?" i whisper.

  "nothing, there's no one there." he replies.

  for a moment, there was silence. it was too quiet...

  knock-knock-knock!

  my eyes avert to the front door. jungkook grabs my arm, pulling me behind him as he swings the door open.

  "uh, hello? is mr. and mrs. y/l/n here?" 

  i peek around jungkook to see someone i've never met before. how does she know my parents?

  jungkook obviously didn't know who this was either, i felt him grab my shirt, tugging me up against him, "who are you?"

  "i'm detective young, i am here on behalf of the case we are currently investigating." the lady explains, showing us her badge and ID.

  i come out from behind jungkook and fold my arms, "are my parents in any trouble?" 

  "no, not as of right now, i was coming by to ask them a few questions. i am now assuming they are at work?" she asks.

  i nod, "they don't get off until three."

  "okay, well here is my card, tell them to give me a call." she hands me a small card with her information on it. "oh, and aren't you kids supposed to be at school today?"

  "we are sick, we had to stay home." jungkook lies.

  "oh, okay... well, have a good day." the woman walks to her car and jungkook closes the door.

  i frown... i wonder what that was all about.
