Messy Situations

Taehyung's POV

Theres a heavy weight pulling down my shoulders, my posture is bent as I walk through the schools hallway. Though my body is tired my eyes stay awake, after yesterday I can't see Namjoon. We're on different paths and he's not understanding of mine. He can't get it through his mind that Uni actually means something to me, that we have something special. I'm aware its different than with Sunny and I but it's still special.

She's special to me.

"Taehyung!" I hear someone call out to me as I turn the corner. From their high pitch tone I knew it was Jungkook, I slowed down my walk allowing him to catch up to me. "Hey hyung." He says once next to me.

I turn my head to him. "Hey." The words don't come out as excited as I hope they would. Jungkook caught on right away pushing his eyebrows into one.

"You're happy to see me..." Jungkook mumbles.

"I'm happy to see that you're not Namjoon." We continue walking down the hallway as I keep my eye out for the said man. I need time to cool off after our argument and don't need anymore judgment from him.

The younger ruffles his hair confused from my response. "You guys got into a fight?" It comes to my attention that Jungkook hasn't spoken much about my situation and this only makes me question his opinion.

I harshly turn more of my body to face him as we walk. My glare is more intense and I hear his saliva run down his throat a little anxious. "What do you think about me and Uni?" His expression quickly changes. Soft eyes widen and brows raise, Jungkook wasn't expecting to ever be asked this question and now that it's been said he doesn't know the right response.

"Um.." He starts and I focus my eyes on him. "Are you happy?"

"Well, yeah."

Jungkook lowers his face. "Hyung, are you happy?"

Quickly the eye contact breaks and I stare back to the hallway. "W-why are you asking me like that?"

He shrugs. "If you're genuinely happy with Uni and over Sunny then I think the situation is fine. But with everything you went through last year, I wouldn't rush into a new situationship if you're not ready. Sure you cheated with Uni but what if she's the one? You don't want to miss your opportunity because Namjoon is telling you to only date Sunny." Jungkook's face relaxes, he's satisfied with the answer he provided. His eyes turns back to the hallway.

What if she's the one?

Jungkook's words stick with me, he's opened a whole different side to the situation. Maybe Namjoon really does think I should only be with Sunny, I mean he's trying so hard to end things with Uni and I. If I need to move on I can do it with her, she actually understands me and what I went through. She wants to build me up from it and help me move on. She's the partner I need right now and I don't know if she's the one, but she's the only one I have right now.

Satisfied I nod then Jungkook speaks again. "I feel like if I ask if Sunny is still in your heart you might lie. Ask yourself and that's the true answer to your question." Jungkook looks to his right and notices he's at his classroom. He takes a second to smile at me, a comfort smile he knows I could use before disappearing with the other students.

Namjoon POV

The hallways becomes more empty as the school day ends. The walk to the gym is quicker than usual with all the missing students.

Finally I make it and find Seulgi reading the words on her clipboard. Slowly I approach from behind her. She's focused making sure everything on her paper is correct when I place my hand on her waist and taze her with my fingers.

She quickly jumps up almost losing her clipboard in the process. Quickly, I begin bursting out in laughter exposing myself. "Yah!" Seugli finds her balance and stares at me with widen eyes. "You scared the crap out of me!" She hits me with her board a couple times until I surrender with my hands up.

"I'm s-sorry!" I stutter inbetween my laughs. Soon enough the corner of Seulgi's lips lifts, she can't help but agree that her reaction was pretty funny.

"Oh my gosh." Chuckles roll off her tongue as mine began dying away. "So embarrassing..."

I finally found my composure again and took a deep breath. "You were so focused I had to."

She hits my once more as a tease. "Yeah I was focused with our project! The festival is tomorrow night, everything needs to be perfect."

Being reminded of the deadline, I scan the gym to see the process that's coming along. "Seulgi, its suppose to be a stress free event so lets not get stressed while making it." Her eyes go right back to the clipboard as her fingers glide across the words.

"It's too late, the taco guy cancelled last minute-" I slightly roll my eyes.

"Didn't I say I'll take care of the food?" Seulgi hesitantly sighs, she can't help but go over board. "This was suppose to be fun and light weight, don't make me start doing most of the work-" I attempt to grab the board out of her hands but she moves it to the side.

"No!" She yells out. "I want to help."

A chuckle escapes my lips. "Okay, then relax a bit. I'll go make a call and see what I can do, you...just go take some deep breaths." Seulgi rolls her eyes at my commentary but surprisingly does as I say while I take my call.

After a couple minutes I get off my call. A happy expression is spilled onto my face while walking back to Seulgi. She hears my footsteps and turns around, my face calms all her nerves. "It's good news?"

"It's great news." My lips curl into a smirk. "My dad was able to make some business calls and is sending three food trucks to the school!" I watch as her face widens, a big smile grows and eyes widen. An expression that makes my stomach turn. Her eyes smile with her lips, something so contagious I start smiling not from the news but her.

In seconds I find Seulgi's arms wrapped around me neck pulling my into a tight hug. She's celebrating but I cannot join her. A heavy wind of her scent takes over my body quickly and I catch myself blinking.

I try to snap myself out of it, my violent thoughts but with the lack of blood recently it's becoming too strong. her scent is also only getting harder to refuse. A untouched neck lays entangled with mine, such a close distance I can feel my teeth fighting to grow.

Seulgi tightens the grip as she's getting more excited but it only makes it harder for me. Suddenly I feel tingles under my eyes, a sensation that means one thing. It's starting to show, my hunger. If Seulgi releases from this hug she'll see me turn, but to doesn't even seem like she wants to let go however I can't keep doing this.

Extra saliva grows onto the surface of my tongue and as I breath her scent only grows. An overwhelming pressure begins taking over my body. I find myself leaning into her neck. Theres an internal battle with myself, a decision that leads to one answer.

Bite.

A answer I refuse to give into. I quickly shove Seulgi off me and turn to face the opposite direction. She watches me pant heavily as she catches her own breath.

"N-namjoon." Seulgi crosses her eyebrows confused and a little scared about what just happened. "Are you okay?" Selfless, a quality I find in the younger. A storm go guilt enters my body as she speaks, I just hurt her and she's asking if I'm okay?

But I don't respond, I need to calm myself down. Seulgi cannot see my like this.

She tries to comfort me again as she puts her hand on my shoulder. Just like before when I got hungry, she comforts me the same way. As much as I'd want to turn around and have her support me as I calm myself down I cant. I'm still so hungry and any touch from her is dangerous.

I flick my shoulder away from her taking her by surprise again. "Namjoon." Seulgi's voice shakes, she cant understand why this keeps happening with me. Again, she lays her hand on me.

I remove it quickly. "Don't touch me."

"What happened?" Her foot steps begin to approach me and I move my body away from her some more but it doesn't stop her.

"S-Seulgi stop."

"Are you okay?" The footsteps grow louder and louder forcing my to run out of the gym.

Once I realizes she wasn't chasing after me, I pull out my phone in the empty hallway. Subconsciously I dial the only person I know that can help me.

Taehyung.

"Hello." He picks us the phone. Theres an awkward undertone in his voice, I knew what it was exactly about but I don't speak on it.

"I need you to come to the school, Tae." Tightly I wrap my free arm around my body comforting myself as I gaze around the area.

"Why?" He questions. "Are you okay?"

I hesitate to answer, I know he's not going to be happy with my response. "I'm with Seulgi setting up for the game night but....I got hungry again. I can't control it right now, I-I need blood." Then it's silent. Taehyung intakes my story and I hear a couple sighs.

"Where are you right now?"

"I'm outside of the gym. I don't know how much longer I can hold myself, I have this urge to just feed on her and I don't know why-"

"Don't worry Namjoon, I'm coming okay?" Taehyung interrupts. " Just hang tight."

"Please hurry." I pause. "I don't want to hurt her."

Soon, Taehyung makes it to the school and runs to find me. I hear his footsteps the minute he enters to him running down my hallway. Once he's in front of me he pull out a blood bag from his pocket. The elder looks around to make sure no one is around before allowing me to take it.

When the blood is in my hands I gave myself no time to think and make a decision. I needed it now. I quickly ripped off the corner and gulped the warm liquid down. It's been days since I had blood, days that felt like years. Its like coming back from the dead, an energy strikes from inside but the craving didn't go away until the whole bad was finished and blood was smeared on my cheeks.

I could read the satisfied look on Taehyung's face. He's happy knowing I'll survive a little longer with this blood.

After I finished I dumped the bag into his hands that were waiting for me. Taehyung stays silent and just stares at me. Finally I look and face the quiet man. "Are you alright now?" He asks and I nod. "Good. " I nod again becoming more stable. "Now you know why this diet is fucking stupid!" There it is, the rant I expected.

"Not now Taehyung." I groan.

"Okay then when? Please tell me when I can yell at you until you stop this diet-"

"I'm not going to stop! I'm going to continue until I can't anymore, then I'll cheat and get back on." I puff frustrated.

"What?! Namjoon-" I take a step in front of Taehyung lessoning the space between us.

"Don't you get it?! I don't want to be a vampire!" My intense glare over powered his worried eyes. I keep my eyes on him until I feel satisfied with my simple message getting across. Before Taehyung could comment another irrelevant thing, I turn around and make my way back to the gym.

Taehyung POV

Half of my body wants to turn Namjoon around and yell until he chooses to stop, but the other part wants to let him go. I understand him, he was force to turn and now has to live a miserable life. But it hurts watching him kill himself slowly, I can't allow that. No matter how much he hates it, I can't want him slowly die.

However, I let him go. I turn around and prepare for my exit but thats when I see Uni with shocked eyes staring at me. I can only assume she saw what happened between Namjoon and I. Then, her eyes drop to the blood bag that's in my hand.

I crush it into my fists while smudging my lips. "Namjoon had an emergency." Slowly I began walking towards her. "He's trying to live as a human, forgetting his necessities."

"Blood..." She responds and I nod.

"What are you doing here?" I ask attempting to change the conversation.

Uni digs her hands into her pockets before responding. "Just studying..." I finally make it to her, as I step into her aura I felt warmth surround us. A comforting feeling that made me smile from the inside. "I've been meaning to talk to you, Tae." I raise my eyebrows hinting that I'm listening. "About us..."

"Oh...You're not happy with how we are?" Uni parts away from my eyes for a second.

"Not exactly that.." I stare at her waiting to hear whatever comes next. "I...I like you, Tae." From everything that's happened today, I wasn't prepared for this. "And I know you feel something back I'm just not sure what." Slowly she takes a step closer to me.

Suddenly the saliva in my throat runs dry. "Um.."

"Even when we hang out it..it feels more than messing around. Do you feel it too?" I nod without noticing. "Then how do you feel about us? Me?"

"You know how I feel.."

"But I want you to say it." As Uni waits I think.

This is the moment thats been waiting to happen. I've admitted to myself about how I feel about Uni, now it's time to tell her. But if I do what happens next?

Uni locks eyes with me, shes patient however. "I like you Uni." Then her face relaxes, she's satisfied with my answer.

"Then I think we shouldn't keep doing what we're doing."

I bend my eyebrows. "Why?"

Uni takes a couple steps closer to me. "Because this is more than friends with benefits, if we like eachother why not explore that?" Her fingers easily find mind and begin to fidget.

My eyes stare at them before looking back to her. "You mean...date?"

"Let's try it out?" Slowly our fingers intertwine and she slowly pulls herself even closer to me. "What bad can happen right?"

"R-right." I speak inches away from her face. "What bad can happen."
