Vampire In The City
Heal Taehyung (2) (Special Chapter - Jin's birthday)

Happy birthday Jin 🎉

🎃🎃

After they move to a new house, there are Kim clan, Jungkook, Soojung and Jimin, they are more careful even when going to college though. Jungkook and Taehyung have not been allowed to attend college, not because of physical injuries but also be aware that the syndicate will do bad things again to Taehyung and Jungkook. While others still follow the lecture but will immediately go home together without going anywhere first. Hoseok and Namjoon are asked to help keep an eye on Jimin at the campus, fortunately their college building is nearby. While Soojung will be supervised directly by her protective lover.

Not being able to go to college makes Taehyung and Jungkook have to be stuck at home accompanied by Yoongi. As much as possible Taehyung did not want to create a tense atmosphere. He does not want to constantly discuss the syndicate's problems if it will only give fatigue to Jungkook.

So sometimes Taehyung helps Yoongi in preparing food or making dessert. Taehyung hopes the atmosphere at home can return to normal, comfortable again for everything.

As he is currently in the kitchen accompanying Yoon-gi who is cooking. Taehyung actually can't cook, technically he just looks, well sometimes it helps if Yoongi needs to get cooking utensils.

“The syndicate's location is known,” said Yoongi opening the conversation while his hand was slicing meat. “Stay we must prepare a mature plan to destroy it.”

Taehyung slightly pinched his mouth. Can't they just let it go and pretend there's no need to take revenge and live a normal life in this place? Taehyung does not want the others to face danger again when dealing with syndicates.

“You have to understand.. If we just let that dirty syndicate continue to exist, our lives will never calm down, Tae.” said Yoon-gi as he turned his head. “Wouldn't your life also not be quiet if those people could still breathe?”

Yoongi was right but Taehyung didn't want to take any chances.

“Because if we let, sooner or later the syndicate will return to do evil to us.” added Yoongi. “We can't hide continuously like this, Tae, stay insecure. The only way is to destroy them.”

Taehyung mere.mas-re.mas both hands. “But I don't want to harm you guys anymore.”

“What are you talking about. This is not your grudge anymore, this has become a common problem, a precarious problem. Such dirty organizations should be destroyed so as not to add more victims. I don't want any more human beings to be piloted like you've been through. Those guys in the syndicate are monsters, Tae.”

Taehyung looked at Yoonghi in amazement. Now he is convinced that the syndicate deserves to be destroyed. Even if there will be dangers they face ahead, it is a sacrifice that must be made for the sake of world peace.

Taehyung finally nodded. Both are focusing on cooking. Suddenly there was Jungkook's voice inside Taehyung's head. The man sent his telepathy.

“Tae, what are you doing? Can you come to my room and help me?”

Taehyung held back a smile. This is so unique because the two can communicate in the mind. Very humorous.

“OK. One minute, Sir.” Taehyung said inside his head.

“I go to the room first yes, Hyung..” Taehyung said to Yoongi, “Jungkook called me.”

Yoongi furrowed his brows in confusion. “I didn't hear him call you.”

“Eh, I mean, I think I should check it out.. hehe.” Taehyung held back a laugh, amused at the sight of his hyung face. It's fun because Taehyung and Jungkook can communicate without anyone being able to hear or eavesdrop on them.

Taehyung gave a smile to his box and left the kitchen, going upstairs to the room. In the room Jungkook was sitting in a study chair, drawing something on his sketchbook.

“What are you doing?” tanya Taehyung and approached Jungkook.

“Picturing.” sahut Jungkook.

“Wow, you can draw very good, Kook.” praise Taehyung and be amazed to see the pencil arrays on the paper, a very beautiful natural scenery is being painted Jungkook.

“Gomawo.” Jungkook pokes while showing his rabbit teeth. “I got bored of not being able to do anything, so I started drawing.”

Taehyung still observes Jungkook's paintings and is increasingly convinced that Jungkook has a talent in painting in addition to his talent in photography and boxing. Jungkook is multi-talent.

“Oh yes, you called me earlier because you wanted to ask for help?” ask Taehyung.

“Hehe. I'm just bored. Want to play UNO?”

Taehyung laughed softly. “You want to torture me again in that silly game huh?”

“It's not a silly game. It's a game that needs god skills.”

Taehyung turned the eyeballs letting his arm pull Jungkook onto the bed. Jungkook took out the UNO card from the drawer and now they are sitting on the bed.

“How can you get a UNO card?-_-“ Taehyung asked, “Did you even remember it when you moved to this house?”

Jungkook gave a grin. “Hoseok Hyung gave me a UNO card a few days ago so I could be entertained. He invited me to play but I had no mood at the time.”

Taehyung just nodded. Of course Jungkook has no mood to play when he is worried about Taehyung who is still being held captive in the syndicate.

They both played UNO. Laughter breaks out in the room because as usual Taehyung is still not good at playing and the cards are even more. Yoongi who could hear them from below was just a buzz, but was happy also finally the atmosphere of this house did not mourn as before.

After hours of UNO play both come downstairs for lunch because it was Yoongi who called. The three ate together and chatted lightly, talked about the home environment, talked about the people around who were friendly but not julid.

After eating, Yoon-gi gives a dessert cheese cake red velvet to eat both. It's like taking care of the two boys until they have to provide all dessert. Taehyung and Jungkook were both fans of Yoon-gi's dessert, so they accepted it happily. They ate it on the balcony while feeling the breeze blowing.

“Jungkook, do you think if I recover from the trauma, what does it mean that my other personality will not be able to appear?”

Jungkook turned his head and looked at Taehyung.

Taehyung gave a faint smile. Honestly, he knew what Taehyung innocent had thought a few weeks ago. How the personality is afraid and anxious that he will not be able to appear again, because he who is not the original personality, appears only depends on the wishes of V. And how that personality tries to strengthen itself that he is important enough for the Kim clan and his friends. Isn't that personality who first knew the clan Kim, Jungkook and Jimin?

“Whatever you initially knew was the innocent Taehyung. My appearance was sudden and seemed to ruin the peace he hoped for, right?”

Jungkook furrowed his brows.

“He must have been afraid that I would take away his friends and loved ones.” Taehyung half looked down with a sad face. “My sudden appearance. I'm like a bully who–“

His speech was cut off because Jungkook was holding onto his shoulder. Taehyung was stunned, raising his face looking at Jungkook. The man stared with a very serious expression.

“You guys are one, you are the same.” Jungkook said firmly. “Compared you think that you are different, you better think that you are the same personality.”

Taehyung smiled bitterly. “What do you mean, Jungkook? We are different.”

“Anni.” says Jungkook sadly. “In fact Vincent before turning into a mutant vampire is a cheerful personality and innocent.”

Taehyung's eyes grew bigger.

“Am I wrong?” ask Jungkook. His face was clear and sad looking at Taehyung. He's holding the vampire's hand. “Why do you still underestimate yourself? Why do you always think that you are a monster, unworthy, unworthy to live life?”

Taehyung was very astonished to hear Jungkook's words. Those words are very poignant but true. Taehyung's eyes glazed over, trying to refrain from crying.

“You're valuable, Taehyung. I'll say it every day until I make you sure you're valuable. You deserve to live, you deserve to be loved.”

Taehyung's tears are dripping. Is he wrong if he had been thinking the opposite of Jungkook's words? Since childhood he lived in a home, considered himself abandoned and unwanted by his own family. And even as he felt there was beginning to be a glimmer of hope for his future, luring through life like most humans–dove and love–ia was tricked and used as a syndicate experiment. His hope was instantly dashed and how he stopped hoping, how much he hated himself who was no longer human, considered his body was trash. There is no purpose in life, only empty and empty hearts. He lets himself pretend to be an innocent new personality so as not to be haunted by the wounds of the past.

He created that other personality. He is the one who controls and controls it.

Taehyung could not help it anymore, he sobbed. Sadness can no longer be contained. It was as if Jungkook had seen himself for who he was, knowing what was hidden in the depths of his heart that no one knew.

Jungkook pulls Taehyung into his arms and the vampire's cry gets louder. He sobbed in his soulmate's arms, showing that he had been fragile all along. Taehyung tried to deceive himself and others by wearing a mask. Though he was just afraid of not being accepted by others as there was himself as a mutant vampire. He could not accept his existence as a mutant vampire and he thought others might think the same. That's why Taehyung made another innocent personality to cover up the wounds and traumas he experienced.

“I’ll be your medicine..” whispered Jungkook, “Keep it all out, Tae. I want you to recover in total.”

“You’re so precious, Tae.” muttered Jungkook hugging tightly. Tears flowed wildly on the human cheek. “Please.. believe me.”.

Taehyung cried, slowly the heavy weight left in his chest evaporated away. Taehyung felt his heart getting lighter. Jungkook could miraculously cure him like this. There will be no more burdens that he bears and hides.

Taehyung begins to accept himself, just as Jungkook and the others accept his existence as a mutant vampire. It was painful to have to accept his life like this but Taehyung could not walk backwards. He cannot live forever in the trauma of the past.

Meanwhile in the other room Yoon-gi who could hear the conversation was deeply moved. He could imagine what kind of pain Taehyung had been enduring, how painful his suffering was. But Yoongi is grateful for the presence of Jungkook who can heal Taehyung.

After a while and Taehyung had stopped crying, Jungkook took off a hug. He wiped away the tears on the vampire's cheek.

“Kajja,” invite Jungkook, “You need fresh air.”

Taehyung complies and lets himself pulled Jungkook to leave. They take a walk in the plantation, see the green-green scenery in front of the eyes to relax more.

Jungkook pointed towards the tree, there was a canary with orange feather color was perched on the tree branch. Her voice is so sweet.

“I just saw it.” said Taehyung plain. Smile expands because it is amazed by the beauty of the feathers and the sound of the bird.

“That's a canary, Tae.”

“The voice is melodious.” muttered the vampire made Jungkook smile.

“Ah it has her friend.” Jungkook pointed at another canary that flew and perched near the first bird. The bird is deep blue, no less beautiful.

“Today solo singer becomes duet singer.”

Taehyung. “Two is indeed better than alone.”

Jungkook's eyes sparkled. “Well now you understand that too, right?”

Taehyung nodded. Now he did not have to bear his own burden anymore. How lucky he was that fate had given him a soulmate to help him.

They went for another walk, greeting the people who were cultivating the garden. This area is mostly tea gardens but that does not mean there are no other plantations. There are also those who have land to cultivate flowers.

“The flowers are beautiful once...” Taehyung said sumringah as he passed through the flower garden.

“Kukira vampire allergy with flowers.” joked Jungkook.

Taehyung hit his arm with a twitch. “You think we're cold-hearted like that?”

“So the vampire has a flowery side?”

Taehyung laughs. “I'm not sure if Yoongi Hyung is flowering.”

Jungkook. He pointed at a group of flowers that were purplish in color, very beautiful and beautiful. “That's the flower name aster.”

“I just saw it.” Taehyung said. He did not dare to touch her afraid of hurting the beautiful flower. During his life Taehyung did spend time in a parlour, locked up in a syndicate or undergoing activities as an innocent Taehyung. He never had a chance to enjoy and see the beauty of the world. His brain may be smart but he doesn't know what's really going on around him.

“I've heard about the legend of daisies. There was a Goddess Astraea who placed Zeus among the stars as the constellation Virgo. The goddess cried as she looked at the dark and starless earth. It is said that daisies bloom where her tears fall.” Jungkook said.

“Hwoa..” murmured Taehyung amazed.

“That's a legend.” Jungkook said with a big smile, “I know this story because my star is Virgo.”

“The story remains very evocative. And the flowers are very pretty.”

“Maybe in the future our name will become a legend.”

Taehyung looked over with enlarged eyes.

Jungkook gave a gentle smile. “Because we're going to destroy the syndicate, Tae.”

After a walk in the flower garden and continuing to chat, of course the talk on the topic of the syndicate will be avoided first for a while, Jungkook also had no desire to extend it. They went back for a walk until they finally found a small shop selling cotton candy. Since childhood Taehyung wanted to try it but never had a chance, this time he did not hesitate to say yes when Jungkook offered him cotton candy.

“How does it feel?” ask Jungkook to see Taehyung licking cotton candy.

“It feels strange, tickling mouth.” says Taehyung sumringah with boxy smile. “But sweet. When I was a kid I really wanted to try it. But when I was a vampire, it didn't feel as good as I imagined.”.

Jungkook pokes, “Well, because you're a vampire and you just love blood.”

By the time the sun was about to set, Namjoon, Hoseok and Jimin had already arrived home, returning home from college. A long journey makes the stomach hungry and exhausting the body.

Yongi greeted them in front of the house. He held back a smile looking at Jimin who came out with sleepy eyes. It seems that during the journey the man fell asleep. “How was college, Jimin?”

“A tiring. I want to sleep first, Hyung.” said weak Jimin.

Yoongi. “Wake up for dinner yes.”

“Alright.” Jimin says and get inside the house immediately.

Hoseok who got out of the car shook his head. A new home that is a great distance from campus makes the journey very tiring. Fortunately the environment of this house is quite beautiful and soothing. So his sacrifice was worth it.

“Mana Taehyung?” ask Namjoon to Yoongi.

Yongi pointed forward with his chin. Both Namjoon and Hoseok looked in the direction that Yoongi pointed at. In the distance, Taehyung and Jungkook are walking together towards the house. When viewed from the sinipun looks very expression Taehyung, comical face and cherry that makes anyone anxious.

“That's V?” tanya Namjoon dumbfounded, “Or Taehyung?”

“Dia V.” says Yoongi with smirk. “Jungkook influence makes us no longer able to distinguish the two, as if they are indeed one personality.”

“Wow.” muttered Hoseok also did not expect to see V with such an expression was chatting with Jungkook. I don't know what was said made Hoseok want to join.

“Now I am very relieved,” said Namjoon with a fatherly smile, “Since the beginning I always realized that V had a wound that must be healed. Looks like he's cured.”

Yoongi gave a nod. “I think so too. He's not as cold as we thought. He is innocent and cheerful like Taehyung whom we know.”

“Now I am relieved to see it, then we just destroy the syndicate to dust.” said Namjoon spirit.

“Geurre. The syndicate cannot be forgiven again.” Hoseok said fieryly.

The three were still looking at Jungkook and Taehyung who were walking towards the house, engrossed in chatting something, unaware that they were being noticed by their hyungs. When it was a few meters to get home, Taehyung just woke up and turned towards his hyungs. He waved with a cheerful smile and a cheerful hand.

“Hyung~!” sapana.

Jungkook also looked at the house and smiled at the three vampires who were standing in front of the house.

“Then it's like that, I want to have soulmate too.” Hoseok muttered softly while biting his lips. Hoseok's words certainly can not be heard by Jungkook but Taehyung can still hear it because of how strange the ears of vampires.

Taehyung's smile grew longer. Thas right. He was greatly helped by the presence of Jungkook, his soulmate. Not that the presence of others does not make an impact, but I don't know. there is a kind of click that makes it heal and relax like this when with Jungkook. Now he knows about the purpose of fate to bring him to meet Jungkook as well as the soulmate bond between them.
