Obviously he struggled even more with sleeping now, feeling Jungkook's eyes on him the whole time as he laid in the 'bed', freezing and still angry. He hated the feeling of losing control over his own body. It was probably the thing he hated the most about vampires aside from their venom glands.

"Listen, Tae, I'm sorry. I just wanted to know... and it's not like I forced you to do anything bad... and it's really cool that you are Vante. I really like your photography."

Taehyung ignored Jungkook, but that made the whole thing even worse. Now he felt like a pouty kid not willing to take an apology. So he sat up instead, glaring at Jungkook.

"Don't ever do that again."

Jungkook nodded, lifting his hands like he was yielding. "I won't. I promise."

"Good."

Although he had accepted Jungkook's apology he didn't get up again, instead he just sat on top of his pile and focused on breathing.

Jungkook was the one to break the silence again. "You're cold, right? If you want I could lend you my hoodie. You seem to need it." He offered and Taehyung didn't know what to feel anymore. Why was Jungkook suddenly acting like this?

"What's up with you suddenly?"

"What?"

"Acting nice. It's creepy."

Jungkook laughed. "Sorry. I'm... I don't usually do that. Taking away someone's free will is a dick move."

"You are a dick."

"Not that kind." Jungkook exhaled. "I know it might not seem like it but I don't exactly have fun when I play with those girls. I'm hungry and I don't feel bad for them, but that doesn't mean I like it either." Jungkook stated. "And taking away someone's choice is not what I do. I didn't think you'd say it's you. Maybe 'I know the guy personally' or something like that, but not that it's you. Not something so personal. So, sorry for making you tell me." He glanced up from where he had been staring at the floor, almost looking guilty before smiling. "I really, really like your photography though."

If there was one thing Taehyung really wasn't sure of, it was how to react. What to think. Was he supposed to be happy that Jungkook liked his work? Or should he continue being angry? He wasn't sure. "Thanks, I guess."

Jungkook frowned. "Oh come on. You've got to be excited that you're so well known already that someone who knows you in person is also is a fan of your work."

At that Taehyung couldn't help a small smile tugging at his lips. "Maybe..."

Jungkook chuckled, looking so much nicer than he usually did. His normally kind of scary face went all bunny teeth and squishy cheeks. Taehyung forced himself to focus on what Jungkook was saying.

"Wow. The amount of times we have talked without realizing it." The vampire shook his head in amusement.

"Did we really talk that much? What's your user?"

"Flappygull." Jungkook declared. grinning when Taehyung just opened his mouth, not saying anything. "See! I told you you would know."

Taehyung snorted. "That's still the worst username. And yeah... I know you. Fuck, that's so weird." He groaned, bringing his legs up to his chest. "You're actually nice on the internet and mean in real life. I think you messed something up there."

Jungkook laughed and once again Taehyung couldn't help but notice that an actual smile seemed to fit him a lot better than all the mean, sarcastic ones he usually displayed. "I'm not really nice on there either. I just like your photos."
