There was indeed a jacuzzi in the bathroom.

Taehyung was unsure if he should be surprised by it or not.

Calmer, now that Jimin left, Taehyung explored the rest of the bathroom. Jungkook on the other hand just stood frozen next to the doorframe.

"Okay, I'll admit it: this bathroom is really nice. We better make the most out of this and use everything here to its full potential," he turned on the faucet and the jacuzzi started filling with water. "What do you say Jungkook?" Taehyung turned to see his friend and was left surprised when he saw tears rolling down Jungkook's cheeks.

He rushed towards him, "Kookie?"

"T-Tae..." his friend started sobbing. Taehyung was caressing Jungkook's back in an attempt to soothe him but the younger boy didn't seem any closer to calming down. Rather, Jungkook continued crying and even started trembling.

Taehyung lowered both of them down on the cold tile floor, still hugging Jungkook and trying to calm him down.

"Ssshhhh... It's okay Jungkook. Everything is okay. We're fine and we will be fine. You're okay, everything is okay..."

"How can you say that Tae?" Jungkook spoke through tears.

"Come on Jungkook, all is fine, you're okay..." Jungkook shook his head and continued crying, unable to form words. Taehyung sighed and hugged him tighter. He then stood up, picking Jungkook with ease.

"You're burning up, you need to calm down," Taehyung tried to console him.


About ten minutes later, Taehyung and Jungkook were both inside the jacuzzi. Jungkook finally stopped crying and his tears were mixed with the bubbly water and the smell of vanilla and strawberry.

"Jungkook..." Taehyung started but didn't finish his sentence.

"I am scared, Tae. I am so scared," Jungkook confessed and Taehyung instantly hugged him.

"It's okay, Kookie. It's okay to be you're scared, it's normal, honestly, we would've to be crazy not to be a little scared but we are okay and nothing bad will happen to us."

"But how can you be so sure, Tae," Jungkook's voice trembled again and Taehyung tightened his grip wanting to prevent Jungkook from crying again — his heart couldn't stand to see Jungkook cry again and be unable to help him.

"Jungkook. We are in this together. As long as we're together we'll be okay. Just trust me on that."

"But how did everything get so complicated!" Jungkook cried out. "I thought my life was over when my parents kicked me out. But I had hope. That my parents will eventually change their minds, that everything will settle down and I could finally tell you just how much you mean to me and we could finally be together! But what hope do I have now!? My parents are dead and I won't ever see them and they'll never accept me and... And my God freaking vampires actually exist and apparently, they took over the world and now one of them fucking thinks he owns us and technically he probably does and we might never be free again and I just want to go back home to our cabin, to our home and lie with you and not worry about anything! I can't‒ I can't handle all of this, it‒ it's all too much..." Jungkook ranted.
He was overwhelmed by multiple emotions and so he spoke his heart out, unaware that he confessed to Taehyung along with everything else he said. After he finished he was left feeling extremely exhausted, like he used up all of the energy he had to say everything that was on his mind. He also felt very vulnerable — despite being very close to Taehyung and knowing how much the older cared for him, Jungkook was never able to completely open up to him or anyone else. He hated being a burden and he hated bothering Taehyung with his trivial problems even more. Especially now, when both of them were in the same fuckedup situation and the elder was still taking care of him, who was acting like a little baby.

"Oh, Kookie..." Taehyng whispered as Jungkook laid back. "I know it's a lot. Everything that happened is so bizarre but do not lose hope. Jimin might think he owns us but he doesn't control us. He can't take our freedom away." Jungkook pressed closer to Taheyung and gave him a small nod.

"Although... For the time being, I think it's actually best we stay close to him. Based on everything we heard, we are as good as dead out there. I don't get what he wants from us but..."

"I agree. It's our safest bet. Survival is the key right now."

Taehyung hummed. "That's settled then. You sure you're okay?"

"As long as I'm next to you," Jungkook smiled sweetly.

Taehyung laughed, "when did you become such a flirt?!" They playfully splashed the water in the jacuzzi, feeling better just from each other's presence but eventually had to get out per Taehyung's request to see what kind of clothes Jimin got them.

Jimin apparently considered that only the fanciest clothes the other two ever saw should be worn and the huge closet was filled with silk shirts and other expensive clothes, mostly suits.

It didn't take long for Taehyung to admit that there could be worse stuff to wear than Gucci and he easily put it on, satisfied with it. Jungkook, on the other hand, was absolutely ready to beg for a pair of cozy sweatpants and oversized t-shirts that their closet was barren of. But in the end, Taehyung managed to convince him to put on a simple striped white shirt.

Taehyung put on a small fashion show before deciding on an also white shirt (but Gucci so, like, a million times better!).

Just a few moments after they were both dressed up and finally closed the closet, feeling they rummaged through it enough, the door to their room opened and Jimin came in.

"Well, isn't this a nice sight," Jimin commented after he laid his eyes on them — Jungkook was sitting on the bed, halfway to lying down completely with Taehyung hovering over him, tying his tie, their faces extremely close.

Taehyung immediately stood up, putting some distance between them. Both humans were furiously blushing. Jimin showed them his signature smirk and nodded approvingly after taking in their new appearance. "I knew both of you would look amazing," he said with a soft, silky voice.

"Come on, dinner is ready," he then proclaimed in a slightly weird tone, with a somewhat crooked smile that stayed stuck on his face as he walked out of the room, the two following him.
