Vampire In The City
Reconciliations

Slowly Jungkook has regained consciousness. His eyes were very sore when he opened and his body was stiff, still difficult to move. He pinched when he saw his two bound hands. Jungkook's body was on the floor in a face down position. He moved his eyeball and looked around the room which was a large black walled room with no windows. He saw at the end there was Taehyung who was lying in an awkward position, on his head there were still traces of blood that had not been treated. Jungkook grimaced, again remembering how he and Taehyung were attacked by a group of unknown people and held captive in this place. I don't know how long they've been in this place.

How did he save Taehyung? How did he get out of this place?

In the room were five burly men as if guarding this room. Jungkook has no idea who they are and why he and Taehyung were kidnapped. Does this have anything to do with the syndicate? Dongwook Lee?

“Wake up apparently.” said one of the men and approached Jungkook. He grinned at Jungkook trivially.

Jungkook's jaw hardened as his shoulder was stepped on by the man. He thrashed slowly but the foot was getting stronger stepping on him. “Who are you? What do you guys want?”

The muscular man snorted. He glanced at his other friends. “Bos allows us to play around with the prisoners until tomorrow morning before we move it to another place.”

Others give a grin. Some were holding baseball bats, some were holding folding knives. They had indeed been waiting for Jungkook to wake up, wanting to play the man here. There is no prohibition not to hurt Jungkook, even if their boss is allowed to be in battered condition.

Meanwhile, one man approached Taehyung, patting the vampire on the cheek as if checking his condition. “Did he die? He's not breathing.”

Jungkook's eyes grew bigger and looked towards Taehyung. He wishes Taehyung well, Taehyung may not breathe because he is a vampire.

“One time it's dead?” exchange others, “Simple once.”

“Maybe he's concussion?” another comment rattled, “It turns out that I hit home run~” he said while practicing a home run punch at a baseball game.

“Try to check the condition.” said the man who stepped on Jungkook's shoulder.

The bald man who was crouched near Taehyung took out a folding knife. “His face was pale as a dead man.” Heartless, he slammed the knife into the skin of Taehyung's arm hoping for a reaction or resistance.

“Don't touch him!!! Don't touch!” peeky Jungkook. Anger so exploded inside the chest seeing how blood flowed out of Taehyung's skin yet there was no movement at all from the vampire. Jungkook almost cried, Taehyung did not die, right?

“Whisper once.” said the man who stepped on Jungkook's shoulder. “You too be prepared.. You will be our toy all night.”.

A man pulled Jungkook's body to stand up. Gaining the chance, Jungkook immediately kicked the person's shin. His hand struggled to untie the rope in both hands but could not. He retreated quickly away from the burly men.

“When to play~~” said one of them. The five people were just poking around to see Jungkook as if he were their toy Jungkook.

Jungkook tries to dodge when one of them attacks him. With both hands tied, Jungkook could only rely on his feet. He dodges or kicks the opponent with all his strength. But of course it's not enough.

Jungkook's shoulder was hit using an iron bat. He tried to endure the pain in his body. He did not want to give up, he had to release Taehyung out of this place. Jungkook kicked ************* people who will approach him. The man squealed in pain due to Jungkook's extremely powerful and painful kick.

The other man holding the folding knife finally exhausted his patience. With barbarians he approached Jungkook while swinging a knife in the air trying to hit Jungkook's face or body. As much as possible Jungkook dodged, forcing his mind to stay focused and restraining his agonized body. It can't die horribly in a place like this.

The knife slashed Jungkook's arm, causing blood to drip out. Jungkook grimaced in pain while the men chuckled in satisfaction at the suffering of their victims. Jungkook's jaw was punched hard making Jungkook finally fall to the floor. Blood came out of the mouth from the blow and his head had almost lost focus and consciousness.

Jungkook could only close his eyes while one of the men stepped on his back. With both hands tied like this, he could not protect himself.

“Back off, guys..” said someone suddenly in a low and cold voice.

The five men who were playing Jungkook turned their heads and were surprised to see Taehyung was already standing there with murderous gazes. They were shocked to discover when Taehyung had come to his senses and could even remove both hands from the rope that bound him. The vampire was standing normally as if his head had never been hit and bled.

“You can't touch him without my permission..” Taehyung said. He relaxed both of his wrists. Taehyung will no longer reduce his power to those humans.

Jungkook opened his eyes slowly and saw who was standing there. Looking at the aura and how creepy his facial features look, Jungkook is sure he is V. There was a sense of relief in him seeing the presence of V. Did the telepathy wake V?

The five big muscular men were already unwilling to buy any more time and directly stormed Taehyung. Next to Taehyung's eyes instantly turned white, anger filled his entire body, perhaps partly as Jungkook's anger rubbed into him.

Taehyung could easily dodge every attack and blow. He even broke the arm bones of two men at once making them scream in pain. With his bare hands, Taehyung paralyzed the men's hands and feet. His power that was indeed destruction made him able to excel with close combat like this. His enemies were already on the exposed floor, groaning in pain.

Taehyung immediately approached Jungkook. He helps the man to sit up and take off the rope that ties Jungkook's hands. “Gwaenchana?” The vampire checked Jungkook's bleeding arm, fortunately the wound was not deep. Well, if this is not a tense atmosphere, Taehyung willingly willingly ‘cleans the blood’ on Jungkook's arm. The sweet scent of Jungkook's blood sniffed on the vampire's nose.

Jungkook looked at Taehyung, there was a sense of sadness because the vampire finally reappeared. Taehyung's white eyes are no longer scary for Jungkook. “I’m ok.”

In this situation there are many things Jungkook wants to say, regrets and apologies that he has not been able to express. But maybe this is not the right time because Jungkook noticed there was a man behind Taehyung was already going to hit with an iron bat.

Jungkook immediately pulled Taehyung to dodge the man behind him. Jungkook kicked the man's leg which was already limping due to Taehyung's attack, Jungkook punched him in the face making the man fall flat on the floor.

Finally Taehyung and Jungkook again fought against the men who started to stand up to attack. Jungkook who does have boxing skills can attack men who hold an iron bat. Taehyung is no longer merciful. He broke the bones of his opponent. Broken neck, broken skull, broken leg, and also his leg kick that crushes the lungs and organs.

Jungkook had already crippled his opponent and turned his head in surprise to see the four men on the floor screaming in pain even some of them seemed to have died. Jungkook gulped, knowing that Taehyung had such power.

“Tae, come..” said Jungkook pull Taehyung arm, “We go from here.”

Taehyung lets Jungkook pull him out of the room. When outside, they realized that this place was some kind of storage warehouse. Taehyung stopped and looked around. This place is pretty big it looks like one of the syndicate's properties. Taehyung did not feel any vampires being held captive in this place. So it looks like vampires are being held captive elsewhere.

“Why?” jungkook asked worriedly to see Taehyung who stopped. He wanted to immediately bring Taehyung out of this place, not wanting to meet with other conspirators who could have caught them.

Taehyung said nothing. He saw a lot of gasolines. Taehyung kicked the drums open and the contents spilled onto the floor. Jungkook's eyes grew bigger, not understanding what Taehyung was trying to do. Does Taehyung want to burn this place down?

Taehyung opened the electrical box on the wall. He dismantled it and pulled out some cables so that it caused a little spark.

“This place is worth burning out.” murmured Taehyung. He also pulled Jungkook who was still stunned to get out of the warehouse because soon a short circuit will occur.

.

.

Taehyung and Jungkook were on a hill far from the warehouse where they had been held. As the blazing fire burned through the warehouse, they could even see how the black smoke rose into the sky and hear the sound of fire-fighting sirens.

Taehyung was quite satisfied to see all that. No one could stop him from killing those people. He would do the same for other buildings belonging to vampire sales syndicates.

Jungkook keeps a close eye on Taehyung, observing that the vampire really is V. He and Taehyung sat on the ground looking at the cityscape from above, the lights like a starry expanse. The condition of the city seems deserted because it is past midnight–although there is another view that is a warehouse fire.

“You V.” says Jungkook.

Taehyung fell silent as if thinking of something.

“Finally you showed up.” muttered Jungkook.

Taehyung sighed. His appearance was unexpected. He couldn't just let Jungkook be played and beaten like that. Taehyung receives Jungkook's telepathy which makes him instantly wake up and beat up the bastards.

“Jungkook... I should never have involved you in my affairs..

Jungkook was surprised to hear that. He didn't expect Taehyung to apologize like this. “What do you mean?”

“Do you not know who is behind your kidnapping? Lee Dongwook, Jungkook. I realized that he's not a random person.” Taehyung's jaw hardens. He holds in his heart that he is increasingly convinced that Dongwook is the big boss of the syndicate he has been looking for. Dongwook is not a random person, the man already knows that Taehyung is a vampire from the beginning but is willing to buy time and ‘play-main’. What happens in the villa makes Taehyung realize that he will accidentally drag Jungkook also in the game Dongwook.

“Ta-but why did he do it?” ask Jungkook to stammer. There is no doubt that Jungkook did hate Dongwook and had suspected him from the beginning, but he still did not expect himself to be the target of Dongwook.

“Maybe because you have something to do with me.” Taehyung said with a faint smile.

Jungkook's eyes blinked. Dongwook may have wanted to attack him because Jungkook had once berated the man while in front of the club or for some other reason to have done so far. Jungkook will not blame Taehyung for what happened, he is the one who has been giving himself to accompany Taehyung to Black Dragon.

“Don't you ever think how dangerous it is when you're with me, Jungkook?” tanya Taehyung makes Jungkook jerk from his daydream.

Jungkook's eyebrows cringed. He also did not understand why the situation could be like this. The beginning of his friendship with Taehyung is very innocent, Jungkook never expected to be friends with vampires and instead dragged into various problems and dangers. However Jungkook never thought of letting go of this relationship. Seokjin once offered to erase Jungkook's memory of Taehyung so Jungkook wouldn't have to get involved in vampire-related matters. But even Jungkook refused. It is indeed difficult to understand how he followed his heart and lived an unnatural life like this.

“So that's why you're hiding?” ask Jungkook dare to look at Taehyung right on the bead.

Taehyung shook his head and immediately turned his face away. Dry blood was still around Taehyung's head and hair but it was no longer painful at all for him.

“I just want you to go back to your regular lectures with the innocent Taehyung who never held a grudge like me. Anyway you had a quiet life before. I shouldn't have changed it.”

Jungkook thought of Taehyung's words with frowning eyes. “Then what about your revenge?”

Taehyung grunted softly. He didn't want to talk about such a thing with Jungkook.

“I'll even support you, V. The vampire sales syndicate deserves to be destroyed so as not to take more victims,” Jungkook said, “And I want to apologize for the mistake I made to you.”

Taehyung immediately turned his head and looked at Jungkook in surprise.

“I’m sorry because with my reckless words, I hurt you. I was too stubborn and didn't trust you. That last quarrel..” Jungkook ruffled hair, half frustrated, “I'm the one at fault. I hurt you repeatedly. At that time I was just too worried but maybe the words that came out of my mouth were out of sync with what I really wanted to convey.”

Taehyung did not know why but there was warmth in his heart hearing Jungkook's words. He could feel the sincerity behind Jungkook's words, and somehow Taehyung felt relieved. The burden seemed to be lifted, Jungkook now trusts and accepts his existence?

“I'm sorry, Jungkook..” muttered Taehyung, “I can't explain my situation more honestly to you.”

Jungkook gave a smile, his tiny dimples looked.

But that doesn't mean Taehyung keeps Jungkook in danger. “But still... I shouldn't have involved you, Jungkook.”

“I can help you.” says Jungkook. He was eager to say that he felt an inner bond with Taehyung that made him not let Taehyung fight alone.

“Jungkook...” The last thing Taehyung wants is to not harm this human safety. “You must promise not to attempt to get involved.”

“I cannot promise you because you yourself have not kept your promise.”

Taehyung's eyebrows frowned confusedly.

“You promised to tell me about your destination to Black Dragon, about the background of everything you did.”

Ah.. Taehyung remembered that he had promised her once when the two took the linguine special gift from the hotel. And Taehyung has not been able to keep his promise.

“I think you already know...” muttered Taehyung while scratching his nape, “You saw part of my past right?”

“But it's still like an unsolved puzzle.”

“And will you see it again?” taehyung asked with a serious look, ”When I bite and suck your blood, Jungkook.”

Jungkook looked at the vampire, already realizing that Taehyung's pale face was due to the fact that it was time for the vampire to drink human blood. It's time.

Jungkook gave a nod.

Taehyung touched Jungkook's arm which was hit by a knife incision. The blood had dried up there but since then it had always disturbed Taehyung's mind because of how sweet the scent of Jungkook's blood could still be felt Taehyung. Taehyung will never be able to resist Jungkook's blood.

For the time being, although he was worried about the danger that lay before them, Taehyung chose to open up and share his burden with Jungkook.

The vampire bit Jungkook's skin and began to suck the human blood. Jungkook closed his eyes. Again, he was like being taken to a different dimension, looking at a piece of Taehyung's past.
