Jimin's POV

"Why the fuck are you in here!?"

I woke up the next morning with a start, I had been wrapped up in Jungkook's muscular embrace, both of us sleeping soundly together.

As my eyes shot open I saw Yoongi stood beside the bed, a look of absolute rage and betrayal in his eyes.

"Hyung! You were drunk, you scared him, he couldn't be left in there alone after that, you could have come back and hurt him more!" Jungkook tried to excuse the fact that I'd slept in his bed after Yoongi had so clearly stated that I belonged to him.

"Shut Up Jungkook! I didn't ask you, don't make me hate you." Yoongi grumbled before looking back to me, "what one vampire isn't good enough, you whore! Get up!" He spat viciously at me and I wasn't going to piss him off even more.

As I stood before him I hung my head low, Yoongi brought his fingers to my chin and gripped it tightly, pushing my head up to look him in the eyes, "Hyung don't, please. Just leave him alone, he hasn't done anything wrong!" Jungkook tried to interject again.

It worked for a moment as his grip lessened and his eyes flicked back to Jungkook, "why do you care so much all of a sudden, you hate humans. Always have. What you fed from him once and suddenly you think you own him? He's mine Jungkook. MINE!" Yoongi was getting angrier and his grip was tightening. He was a lot stronger than he looked.

"Ow Yoongi please you're hurting me, please let go." I gripped his arm that was latched to my face and tried to pull him off, squeezing my eyes shut at the pain, but just like last night, my strength is nothing compared to his.

Suddenly his hand was gone and I opened my eyes to see Jungkook stood in front of me, shielding me from Yoongi who had reeled back, now holding his own jaw. Jungkook punched him...

"Oh. I see. You'd choose a human over your own family. I wonder what Namjoon would think of that." Yoongi's glare was so full of anger it shocked me to even see the slightest of an arrogant smirk on his face.

"I don't care Yoongi. Get out of my room before I start something you won't be able to finish." The younger of the two suddenly spoke with such a strong threatening tone, Yoongi would have been insane to retaliate. Heck the threat wasn't even aimed at me and I was scared.

"It's Hyung to you." Was Yoongi's only response before he swung his fist, hitting Jungkook straight across his jaw, right where he had previously hit the elder.

Jungkook didn't waste a second before swinging back, I moved myself backward and over Jungkook's bed, getting out of range of the fight, if I got hit with the force that they're hitting each other with, I think it would break my skull.

"You don't deserve him! You're such a fucking asshole Yoongi, you never think of anyone but yourself!" Jungkook spoke with such hatred it hurt me to know I had caused this between the two previously playful and loving brothers.

"What and you do deserve him!? You're just as much of a fuck up as I am Jungkook, at least I had the nerve to be nice to him at the start! I bet if you'd found him at the club the way I did, you wouldn't have hesitated in drinking him dry." Yoongi's words seemed to hit Jungkook harder than his punches had been.

"Shut up! No I wouldn't have! I'm not a monster!" His eyes were sparkling as he was on the verge of crying, "we're all monsters Jungkook, you're a murderer, you don't deserve any happiness. And you know it." Yoongi knew his words were getting to Jungkook, so when he smirked in accomplishment and went to swing a final blow at the almost broken boy in front of him, I couldn't help but cut in.

"Stop it! Please you two this isn't worth it!" I helplessly called to them, my pleas fell on deaf ears as Jungkook tackled his brother to the ground, throwing punch after punch at his face, not stopping even as dark blood oozed from Yoongi's nose.

"Jungkook stop!" I screamed but he didn't listen, the anger had consumed him, tears fell down his cheeks as he let all his emotions out on the very man that had caused them.

"Fuck you Yoongi! I hate you!" He kept punching until I ran over and shoved him off, in his weakened state I managed to pin him to the floor beside Yoongi and hold his cheeks gently.

"Jungkook please don't cry, oh my god I'm so sorry I caused this, why didn't you stop!? What's wrong Jungkook please talk to me!" My own tears trickled down my face as I saw Jungkook's expression suddenly go completely void of emotion.

"I didn't stop cause I'm a monster Jimin, I destroy everything I get close to. Which is why you need to go. You need to run away. I promise I won't come looking for you." He spoke monotonously before effortlessly lifting me off of him and standing up.

He lifted a now unconscious Yoongi and laid him down on his bed.

"B-but Jungkook I-"

"I SAID GO JIMIN!" he turned and got so close to me, I flinched at the pain in his voice, I knew he was trying to scare me away, but it wasn't working.

I smiled sadly at him, making his furrowed eyebrows soften, I brought my fingers up to his face and gently wiped away his tears before pushing my lips onto his, I stayed that way for long enough.

Long enough to show him how much I cared, how sorry I was, and how much I'd miss him.

As I moved away his expression was broken, "I'm sorr-"

"Don't Jungkook, it's okay, everything is okay." I spoke as though I was convincing him, when in reality I was convincing myself.

"You're not a monster, Jungkook." Was the last thing I could say before I felt my tears welling up again.

I couldn't believe I was getting so emotional, it was like I didn't want to leave, when most of my thoughts since I got here were consumed with wanting to get home.

Before I could stop myself I opened his bedroom door and shut it behind me, I walked slowly down the hall, down the grand stairs and twisted the handle of the front door.

Walking out those doors lifted so much weight off my shoulders, but set a heavier one inside me, in my chest, in my stomach, in my heart...

I bit my lip at my conflicting emotions before forcing myself down the pathway, I began walking faster, my pace turning to jog, then to a run, until I was sprinting down the forested road.

Tears streamed down my cheeks as I ran like my life depended on it, running until I saw buildings, I began to recognise the town, people stared at me as I moved so fast in my bare feet.

I was still practically half naked... only in Jungkook's baggy shirt and Yoongi's boxers, but I paid no attention to anyone staring.

I came to a halt when I reached my road. Only then did my body realise how far I'd run, my feet burned with the pain of running on rough concrete and my chest heaved for air, but I started moving again, just walking, toward my house, my home.

I knocked, three times, softly but loud enough to know they'd hear me, it was quite early morning still, my guess was around 8 or 9. But as I saw the silhouette of my mother through the frosted glass windows of the front door.

My mind blanked, I'm actually home.

"Jimin..." she breathed as tears brimmed her eyes, "oh my baby!" She sobbed and dragged me into her arms, collapsing with me onto her knees on our carpeted hallway, her body shook as she held me, and I let my arms wrap around her.

"I missed you." I smiled into the crook of her neck before she ripped herself away from me, "Well I should hope so! Where were you!? What happened!? Were you hurt!?" She began frantically questioning me, clearly confused by my state.

"I'm fine Eomma. I'd rather not talk about it, all that matters is I'm home now." I smiled sadly and she looked shocked, "Excuse me Park Jimin, you will tell me what happened right now so I can get your father to find whoever it was that took you!" She was trying to act stern but her voice kept cracking and her glistening eyes gave it all away, she was much too happy to see me to get mad so quickly.

"Eomma please, I promise you it doesn't matter." I spoke sternly back to her, and I held my ground stronger than she had.

She sighed and nodded weakly before pulling back to hug her again, we stood up and she still wouldn't let me go.

"We need to let your brother know, and I need to call your father." She suddenly gasped, "can I?" I asked and she smiled at me before nodding, "I really wish you'd tell me what happened Jimin, but all I know is I'm so relieved you're home, I... I thought you were dead Minnie..." she sobbed again and I felt my tears threatening to fall once more.

"Well I'm not Eomma, I'm okay, and I love you so much." I reassured her and she nodded before handing me her phone and going to take a seat, I followed her into the living room and sat across from her, clicking on my Appa's contact number and waiting for him to pick up.

"Jagi? What's happening, are you okay?" His attempt to speak professionally was completely contrasted by how nervous he sounded, nothing like my father usually sounds.

"Appa, it's me, Jimin." I spoke and I heard his breath hitch before he shakily exhaled, "J-Jimin? What? I- I don't understand, Son? Is it really you?" He stuttered and was trying to contain his cries across the phone, I nodded as I replied, tears falling again, "yes Appa it's me, I'm home, I'm safe and I'm okay... I've missed you so much."

I heard him sob down the line and could picture him attempting to hide himself at work, even though he has a separate office, everyone can see through his glass windows that connect to the rest of the police department.

"I've been so worried, we sent out search parties and I looked everywhere Jimin I... I couldn't find you- I... I thought the worst Jimin my son I thought they'd got you..." he sighed in relief but I tensed at his words.

"It's okay Appa, just get home when you can, trust me, I'm fine and I know this won't ever happen again." I promised and I heard his cries stop, "okay, we'll talk more once I'm home, god I'm so relieved, I'm speechless, I'm a mess, I should go, but Son I love you so much, please don't ever disappear again." He begged and I frowned.

"I'm okay, I love you too, see you later, goodbye Appa." He also said goodbye and I hung up, midway through our phone call my mother had left the room and was just returning, she had brought me a pair of my jeans and socks and a glass of water.

"I would ask why you weren't even fully dressed but I know you won't explain, so I won't push you, just put these on and have a drink, you look exhausted." She spoke in her kind motherly tone that made me melt inside, I really hadn't noticed how much her voice soothes me, and how much I'd missed it.

"I'll send Seokjin an email, hopefully he'll see it, what with all his busy studies, he's been very worried about you too Jiminie, he's coming down this weekend, he was planning on helping us search but he'll still come to see you I'm sure. I'll also let all your friends know, they've been riddled with guilt, setting up their own search parties and making flyers, they will be so thrilled you're home." She took her phone back from me as I begun to get changed and drank all the water in one go.

When my mother returned she brought me food, we ate lunch together before she sat beside me on the couch and I cuddled up to her, we stayed that way for a while, just appreciating being around each other, nothing is more soothing than a mother's hug...

Our peace was broken by frantic knocks at the door, to which my mother jumped up to answer, Hoseok, Baekhyun, Kyungsoo and Kai all came charging into the living room before pouncing on me on the couch, burying me in their bodies, I laughed and held them tightly.

They were all grinning so brightly but just like everyone else, even my wanna be tough guy friends were on the brink of tears, Hoseok was crying.

"Hey stop that you silly, I'm okay! Why is everyone always crying?" I teased but even I could feel myself about to cry, which hadn't seemed to stop today.

"Oh Jimin I'm so sorry we let you disappear, we're so sorry, I can't believe I let my eyes off you for even a moment." Hoseok threw himself at me, spurting his apologies between sobs as he clung to me, "Hobi it's fine, it's none of your faults, it's my fault, and it doesn't matter anyway, I'd rather just not talk about any of it and pretend it never happened." I asked and they frowned.

"Jiminie you can't possibly expect us to not want to know what happened?" Kyungsoo asked confusedly and I sighed, "It doesn't matter, it's done with now and I'm home." I retaliated and Hoseok sighed.

"Okay, lets go to your room." He smiled, wiping his tears and leading us all away from my mother and into my bedroom.

"Now will you tell us?" He asked the moment I shut my door, my jaw hung open at his question, "Well it was because your Eomma was there right?" He then proceeded to assume I was only hiding the truth from my mother.

"No Hobi I just don't want to talk about it!" I snapped and they all froze, I sat onto my bed and wiped at my eyes, "sorry for shouting, I love you guys." I apologised and they all relaxed and sat around me.

"Can you at least explain roughly what happened, you don't have to give details?" Baekhyun pushed for information and I glared at him.

"Fine. But you do realise I've only just got home and you're already upsetting me." I played the guilt card and they all looked away, feeling bad for interrogating me the moment they saw me after being missing for a week.

"That night at the club, some random woman dragged me to the dance floor and you know me, I panicked, I couldn't see any of you and all I could see was the bathroom so I just went for it. Unfortunately for me, a vampire was in there, waiting to feed." I explained and they all gasped.

"But there's so much heat on the vampires at the moment, I didn't think any of them even came close to places like that anymore?" Kai spoke, and he made sense, my father and the police force have really been working hard to either catch and kill the vampires or at least keep them away from the neighbourhoods.

"Yeah well I guess this one knew he could get away with it. So he bit me, and uh..." I started to blush, remembering my reaction to the first time I was bitten, and how much I enjoy the sensation.

"What Jimin?" Hobi pushed and I snapped out of it, "Well he decided not to kill me, and instead he kidnapped me, so I've been living with vampires for the last week. But I promise you I'm fine and I'd rather not explain how I'm back." I bit my lip as pain thumped in my chest, remembering what happened just this morning, it now almost being the evening.

"Jesus Christ Jimin... I don't understand how you're even alive... but why don't you just tell your dad where they are? The police will get them for what they've done to you..." Kai scoffed.

"I don't want them to." I spoke softly and they all frowned at me, I watched as they sceptically looked between each other before back at me, "why not Jimin?" Baekhyun asked and I sighed.

"They don't deserve to die..." I frowned and a tear fell into my lap, "but Jimin they kidnapped you and practically held you hostag-"

"No they didn't! I mean, yeah sure they kinda did but, I slept in a warm bed and they fed me and I made friends and even..." I trailed off, blush creeping up my face thinking of the moments I shared with Jungkook, and even with Yoongi toward the start.

"Oh no Jimin please don't tell me you fell in love." Hoseok sighed and I went wide eyed, "N-No! I mean at least I don't think so, I've never been in love before... but, god I really didn't want to talk about any of it and here I am about to describe him to you... Jungkook... he was so sweet, arrogant at times and it took him a little while but he became so... I don't even know the word, he kissed me with such care and softness, held me in his arms like he was protecting me from the world..." talking about him made me cry again.

My friends were all shocked, "Jimin I think loving was the word you were looking for, he acted lovingly toward you." Kyungsoo suggested with a small smile toward Kai who blushed, understanding what he meant, "but... he can't have loved me, I can't love him we've barley known each other a week!" I retaliated and Hoseok shrugged, "Love is weird man."

I shook my head, "I'm never gonna see him again anyway." I took a deep breath to try and calm my emotions, "Why not Jimin? You clearly have strong feelings for each other?" Baekhyun asked and I raised an eyebrow.

"Guys he's a vampire, I am me... my father is my father. There is no chance of anything happening so we agreed it would be best for him to stay away, I can get on with school and my life in general, and he'll do what he has done for the past years he's been a vampire... which I'm not entirely sure of how long that is actually." I frowned and sighed.

"Seriously Jimin." Hoseok frowned at me and I was taken back, "what?" I asked, "so, you get kidnapped by vampires, are stuck there for a week making friends and even falling in love, and then you're going to come home and just pretend it never happened, just forget about them all?"

My lower lip begun to quiver as I actually thought of trying to forget about Jungkook, and Taehyung, I didn't spend much time with him but in the time I did I really did bond with him, he was the sweetest and most innocent guy I'd ever met, and I didn't even say goodbye.

"Exactly." Hoseok added as I had sat there, answering his question without really answering at all.

"I... I have to move on." I frowned and Hoseok blinked at a loss for words, "oh... okay. Well if- um... if you're sure, then we won't talk about it anymore, right?" Kyungsoo spoke up, looking around at the rest of them who nodded.

Hoseok just stared at me, "you deserve love and happiness Jimin, whether it's with a human or not." He frowned and placed a hand on my shoulder making me wince slightly.

He frowned deeper and pulled the edge of the shirt down, finally noticing all the bite marks that littered from my neck to my shoulders.

"Oh my god Jimin they bit you a lot!" He looked scared all of a sudden and so did the others, "Guys I'm fine, trust me it's not that bad." I shrugged and Hoseok looked like he was about to faint.

"Not that bad!? Jimin what are you saying they've put holes inside your neck and drained your blood!? Like a lot of times!?" Baekhyun was almost squealing.

"Oh my god how many times do I need to tell you I'm fine before you believe me!? Have you ever been bitten before!?" I asked and they all shook their heads, "Exactly! I'm telling you, it doesn't hurt as much as it seems... I actually... never mind." I was about to expose myself and the stupid feeling that courses through my veins when I've been bitten.

"You what Jimin?" Kai asked and I bit my lip, "I like it..." I mumbled and Hoseok choked on his spit.

"Look just don't say anything okay, just stop I didn't want to talk about any of this, I think you should all go, I missed you and I'm glad to have you back but I just need to be alone, in my home in my room and just think okay." I sighed and they all obliged, still trying to comprehend what I had previously said.

"I love you Jiminie, we'll be back soon yeah?" Hoseok spoke softly before gulping nervously, I nodded and hugged them all before they made their way out of my bedroom.

Time to move on with my life...
