"Want something?" Seokjin asked the smaller boy who stood right behind him, in the huge café.

"No thank you, hyung" Taehyung replied gruffly before continuing his staring contest with the table, tapping his feet on the floor in a rhythm gaping at the table seemingly deep in thought.

A soft sigh left the elder's mouth as he mumbled two orders to the waitress, who left immediately after.

"Well this is kinda awkward." Jin spoke to which the younger, finally, looked up at him and raised an eyebrow in mock confusion.

"Really? Damn I'm sorry for being sad because my soulmates didn't want me."

"You know it's not like that, Tae" Seokjin spoke gently, wanting the male to understand.

"Oh? Then what is it? Please do be kind and enlighten me with your thoughts." Taehyung spat, his words dripping with sarcasm as he rolled his eyes.

The male couldn't help it— he couldn't help the sudden rush of emotions that overcame him. He wanted to scream at them, he wanted to scream at his supposed soulmates and ask them what he had done— what he had done for them to loathe him. The sadness inside him had transformed into something much more dangerous, anger.

The anger was nothing but a shield for his pain— he could feel the loss to the very last cell in his body. He breathed in real slow. Soulmates had a huge effect within a person.

Once you lose yours— or if they reject you, you'll either have to find another one (which is extremely hard and rare) or bare with the pain your whole life. You can feel the loss within your heart, as if a huge part of you had been thrown and ripped away. It's as if a whole part of you had been ripped away, shunned and disowned. You can feel the pain of losing your soulmate in each and every fiber of your very soul.

Most people move in with their soulmates a few days after they meet. Considering it hurts to even stay away from them for an hour. The moment your mind- or rather your heart realizes that you have no contact with your other half, it goes crazy. In loss we travel through the waves of grief, in that most unpredictable of emotional storms.

"They like you, Taehyung. They can't not want you. You're their soulmate." Seokjin mumbled stirring his coffee once it had arrived, after thanking the waitress.

"But how can you be so sure? they left me a-alone." Taehyung spoke, his voice wavering at the end.

"They're dumb as fuck." Seokjin replied, his straightforwardness making the ebony haired male giggle lightly.

"Understandable. But why did they have to act so- so cold towards me" Taehyung sighed.

"I'm sorry, Tae. I can't tell you, now. But just know that they're not just your ordinary people." The older whispered, the light atmosphere from before evaporated quickly and settled with thick tension.

"What do you mean 'not ordinary'?" Taehyung softly spoke, wanting to know more.

"They're special."

...

They're special

Those words kept repeating themselves in my head. I had spent the rest of my day in the café trying to distract myself but it was no avail. I just couldn't focus, because these words kept repeating over and over again— much like a broken record.

I couldn't get over the fact how Seokjin hyung's eyes sparkled with something peculiar, whilst he whispered those words to me with such eagerness.. What did he mean by they were special. Was that why they avoided me? 

 The dull ache in my heart had intensified by now, suffocating me to no ends. All I wanted was to be loved. Was that too much to ask for?

"oh fuck" I mumble to myself, noticing I had cut myself while trying to cook up something small with the food I had leftover in my pantry, for dinner. I had been too distracted while cutting up some strawberries.

The red blood dripped down onto my shirt as I clutched my injured finger close to my chest, before placing it under running water. It stings like hell, but I guess that's what I deserve for being dumb.

I look up from my hand and look out the small window, my whole frame tensing up immediately. I froze up as I noticed a pair of scarlet red eyes looking right at me— the sharp glare had me entranced and made my knees shiver with fear at the same time. 

what the fuck.

Once I had gathered enough courage and locked eyes with the creature, my whole being flooded with pleasurable tingles from the bottom of my spine. The scarlet-red eyes made me want to look away but I couldn't. It was as if those very eyes were capturing me— pulling me into a trance. 

At that moment, there was nothing in my mind, except for one word that kept hypnotizing me–submit. The word kept repeating itself like a mantra forcing me into subspace the more I kept staring into those ruby-red eyes. Before the red eyes disappeared swiftly.

what the fuck, what the fuuck?!

I didn't know if the exhaustion was from not being next to my soulmates for hours on end, or the fact that I had been working my ass off the whole day in that café. Or maybe it was the fact that  the scarlet eyes were forcing me to submission, and weirdly enough I wanted it to happen. 

The tiredness of the day finally got to me as I stumbled towards the worn-out couch, collapsing my body on it and forcing my eyes shut as sleep lulled me into a dreamless night. My heart still feeling the dull ache that had disappeared for a few moments before it came right back. Hitting me with full force as I let myself fall into the darkness of the night.

"What the hell were you doing?!" The male yelled at the taller, pushing him against the wall.

"I-I lost control, I'm sorry" The other mumbled once he had changed back.

"listen, we're trying to keep him away from danger not lure him into death and destruction!"

"death and destruction is a little too much don't ya think?" The taller mumbled smirking a little once the other blushed under his piercing stare.

"well that's what's gon' happen to Taehyung if we don't be caref- mmh" the other got cut off once the taller placed his lips on his. They kissed with fervour, tongues and teeth clashing as small whimpers and whines rose up their throats. Pulling away with a string of saliva separating them and hot, heavy breaths leaving their parted lips.

"let's go home for now, we'll discuss this later." the taller mumbled, picking the other up and throwing him over his shoulder, effortlessly, before walking home.
