"No, it didn't. Your parents are witches which means they are mortals. Mortal magic isn't strong enough to affect us. We did understand when it was cast though. We were with Jackson, trying to get him to stop crying, when suddenly he had this total change in his demeanor. His tears disappeared, and he started talking about college out of the blue. At first, it felt weird but then we realized the warlocks might have had something to do with it. That's when we thought the bad ones might have got you and they are planning to kill you. So we started searching for you more intently and eventually tracked you down" 

Jimin explains the entire thing and the situation gets clearer. Jennie nods to approve his justifications while Taehyungs listens with furrowed brows, putting two and two together because he never understood why he didn't forget you either. However, amongst them, you stand distracted. Your ears stopped listening half way through Jimin's speech and your mind remained numb ever since. 

"Jackson forgot me" You whisper and a stray tear rolls down your cheek. "I am not his little sister anymore" You knew this would happen when you agreed with your parents about the spell. But now that you are aware of it's success, a feeling of misery and desolation is creeping in like a nasty virus. Now, there's no going back. 

"He may have forgotten you Y/N but you are still his little sister. You'll always be Wang Y/N. No amount of magic can change that" Rose pats your back and pulls your head to her chest, hugging you tightly. 

"And I hope one day, you'll get your family back" Her words do manage to soothe you but a stinge of pain still remains. That's the consequence you chose to face. 

"I hope so too" you break free from her hold and wipe your cheeks with your long sleeve before giving your friends a grateful smile. 

"Till then, we are your family" Jimin adds, prompting you to smile wider.

"You've always been"

The three of you huddle together in a group hug and Taehyung instinctively moves away, afraid that if he stays too close, he might be dragged in as well. 

Amidst the friendly manoeuvre, a sudden thought flickers in your mind and shimmy out of the huddle with slightly wide eyes. 

"Wait, that means Namjoon won't forget me either"

"He is a vampire, so nope"

"Aish.....ssibal" 

The Parks giggle at your reaction but Taehyung looks at you dumbstruck for he has never seen you curse before. The twins notice his face and ends up laughing harder. 

"Okay" Jimin finally speaks up after recovering from the good chuckle they just had. "Enough of this remembering shit. Let's talk about what's important. This Namjoon dude, how are we going to get rid of him?"

"We?" asks Taehyung, urgency and confusion laced in his tone. He eyes the lycans with skeptical eyes, already hating where this may be going. 

"You didn't think we were going to leave our friend alone here with you, did you?" Rose snaps back, almost summoning the indignant vampire for a verbal fight but surprisingly, the latter controls himself. Nevertheless, the rage is visible in his eyes and in the grit of his teeth that is now prominent from behind his cheeks. In the three weeks that you've known each other, you've seen Taehyung this mad only once, the first encounter with Namjoon. The rage on him is quite hot actually, endearing even.

"For your information, I have been very competent in protecting your friend from Namjoon while you were not around" the authority Taehyung showcases when saying those words woes you. For the second time in your life, you feel butterflies in your stomach, the first was when he kissed you.

You are an independent-minded girl who doesn't usually appreciate charity or help from people. You don't like people shielding you and treating you like an incapable little child. Still, when Taehyung talks about being there for you and protecting you, it feels oddly fulfilling. He kind of activates a submissive part in you that you never knew existed and you find yourself relishing in his jurisdiction, always wanting more.

You are not quite proud of this behavior of yours, but you don't want to do anything about it either. Sometimes it feels like you are betraying your self-sustaining nature, but since it involves Taehyung, you don't mind. If it was someone else in his place, you'd rather die than let go of your pride.

"Yeah right. I saw you in the library that day. You were totally freaked out when Namjoon called. Also, you left Y/N alone in this unknown place even though you knew he could attack her" scoffs Jimin.

Realization hits Taehyungs and he looks up at Jimin but you beat him to the word. 

"You saw him before?" you ask, making the aforementioned turn to your direction.

"Yes" he answers simply. "After you went missing, Rose and I spent days tracking your scent until one day we found a trail and followed it here. Rose was busy with pack duties so I came alone. Just as I was about to get into the building this Taehyung guy walked out with your scent all over him. Also, I recognized his own stench of death, which meant he was a vampire. I followed him to the library. There I waited for the place to be empty and once it did, I tried confronting him. But then he got this call and rushed out all stressed and sweaty"

"That was you" Taehyung growls, rather angrily but that does no effect to the werewolf.

"Yep" comes Jimin's short and precise reply. "You should have seen your face. You looked like you saw a ghost" he mimicked Taehyung's face from that day, thereby adding fuel to the fire.

"You bitch" the taller male yells but Jimin only laughs harder.

"You got the gender wrong dude" he snickers and starts running away when Taehyung chases after him. You two gals, on the other hand, stay put on the couch and judge them hard. 

Noon comes and lunch is served in square cardboard boxes from Domino's. Jimin and Rose decided to stay over for lunch and you weren't ready to waste your precious energy by cooking for four. So instead, you stayed put and discussed your future plans over some cheesy slices of pizza and cold Sprite.

The plans included strategies to defeat Namjoon and possible ways to make judicious use of your curing blood. You aren't keen on dying to save some vampire from immortality but if there's a way you can cure them whilst staying alive, you'd love to know.

It's currently 5 pm and you are standing at the roof with your friends. Taehyung is there too but he has been a little aloof ever since you got up here. Nonetheless, despite being deeply involved with your friends, the vampire never left your mind. So, you decide to ditch them for a while and go talk to him.

"Hey," you call out, catching his attention. He just looks at you and smiles a little before turning back to the disappearing dusk. The scene reminds you of the moment you two shared in the garden of your birth parent's house. So you know, Taehyung must be feeling lonely.

"About last night-" you start but don't get to finish.

"Look Y/N, I didn't mean what I said about your friends last night. I don't want you to leave your friends. You are free to be with them whenever you want. I just-"

"I know" This time you cut him off. "I know what you meant and I know how you feel. I just want you to know that no matter how many friends I have or make, you are and will always be someone very special to me. You are my first-ever vampire roommate. That ought to have some sort of cache, right?"

Your words bring a smile to his face and he nods lightly before tearing his gaze from yours.

"But, if you want to go with your friends, you are free to go. I'll be fine" he presses on, still looking at the last ray of the sun, as if admiring its beauty before it disappears for the day. 

"I won't"

"What?" he locks eyes with you again.

"I don't wanna leave here. I know my friends are super strong and they can keep me safe and all but I don't think I'll have even a fraction of the fun with them that I have with you"

"You have fun with me?" the conviction in his voice is now replaced with surprise and that shows on his face as well. 

"Are you kidding? Teasing you is the best hobby I've ever had" you giggle upon seeing a frown smother itself on Taehyung's forehead. 

"You are a mean woman" he pouts. Right when you thought he can't get any cuter, he does.

"Didn't you know that already?" you grab on to the railing and bend your waist backwards as if hanging from the top rail before standing up straight once more. A smile remains consistent on your face for you are content with the conversation you are having with Taehyung.

"You know what, I'm done with you. I'm gonna go talk to your stupid doggy friend instead" he scoffs making you smile even more. Everything he does somehow ends up making you smile. 

"Awe, does Taehyungie have a new boyfriend? Suit yourself, Mr. Kim" he glares at you upon hearing your absurd comment but doesn't bother to come up with a comment. He just gives and annoyed eye roll, makes a face and walks away.

You turn to the sky which is now dark, and thank universe for making you a part of Taehyung's comfort zone. Ever since you were little, your parents provided you with everything. You had friends, money, health, literally everything one can ask for. Yet there always was a void, as if something important was missing. You never knew what.

But now, you don't feel that emptiness anymore. You don't know how Taehyung managed to become such an important part of your life within such short period of time. You have only known him for a couple of weeks but he already fits in like a puzzle piece. Maybe this connection has a deeper relevance that the both of you are yet to discover.      

"You like Y/N don't you Taetae?" Jimin asks as soon as Taehyung reaches him, making the latter gasp. He doesn't know what shocked him more, the like part or the weird nickname.

"What did you just call me!?" he yaps making Jimin snicker.

"Oh, its just a nickname I gave you. Suits you pretty well" he responds earning a scoff in return.

"Shut up and don't call me that" the vamp says rather rudely but Jimin only enjoys his discomfort.

"Oh okay, as you wish Taetae" he teases further ushering Taehyung to severely roll his eyes. He tries to intimidate Jimin with a fierce glare but the werewolf doesn't budge at all. So, the former reverts to the only choice of vengeance he's left with. 

"Ugh......maybe I'll give you an annoying nickname too"

"Yeah? Like what?"

"Let me see. You are an idiot, so.........I think I'll call you Jiminiepabo!"

"Huh.....what kind of a nickname is that!?"

"Suits you pretty well" he mocks, successfully shutting the naughty wolf up.
