43: Whimpers of death
Ignore mistakes, please
Third person P.O.V
The cold wind didn't feel any much colder because the blood in his veins felt frozen just by staring at those burning eyes fixed on his face.
Hoseok was beyond shocked to see the familiar face with unfamiliar eyes glaring at the blue-haired beside him, and unknowingly a gasp left his lips when those piercing eyes shifted to him, and in the other second, his car was lifted up from the front half, making the front wheels run in the air and engine to produce weird noise.
Taehyung, who was in a daze, came to his senses when a strong jerk to his body made his head almost bump back at the seat.
"Taehyung! What's wrong with Jungkook?!" Hoseok shrieked in pure horror, breaking Taehyung's heart because his innocent hyung had to witness another chaos just because of him.
"Hyung shut the engine! I'll... I'll tell you everything, just calm down and shut the engine off, please."
With shaky hands, Hoseok followed the command while Taehyung raked his brain to stop Jungkook's wolf, which was visibly raging in anger.
"Jungkook hyung! Please, stop it. I - I'm not running away... please!" Jungkook's eyes were still focused on Hoseok, and the poor human was now shivering at the inhumane gaze directed at him.
Taehyung knew that Jungkook wasn't there, but the wolf was in charge at the moment, yet he tried a few more times. "Hyung put the car down. Someone could see us." Panicking and looking around to see the empty road, he prayed for the emptiness to stay, not wanting to expose Jungkook's whole being.
Getting no answer in turn from the raven-haired, who still had his eyes fixed on the tall male in the car, Taehyung took a deep breath and just did something that seemed the only option to stop the chaos.
"Tae!"
"It's alright, he won't hurt." Mumbling softly, Taehyung opened the door of the car, jumped down on his legs, and rushed to the werewolf who had his eyes now shifted towards him.
"Hyung... calm down. I wasn't running away from you. I was just going to the hospital." The low growl made his steps halt for a little, but gulping down the fear, he continued. "OK, I'm coming back with you, hm? Let Hoseok hyung go." Due to the fear of getting Hoseok into any sort of problem because of his actions, he quickly gave in.
Those blazing eyes moved stealthily to Hoseok, who also came out of the car but looked wearily about the matter. Not saying a single word, the werewolf let the car go down which fell back on the road with a loud thud, making both humans step back in alert.
Walking with stiff steps, Jungkook took hold of Taehyung's right wrist, and just like that, in a blink of an eye, both were gone from the place, leaving Hoseok gaping at what he just witnessed.
"Taehyung! TAE!!" Pulling his hair, he went back to the car and got his phone, not knowing whom to inform first. Because the matter seemed quite off.
•••••••••••
Taehyung stumbled back on the bed once his shoes cladded feet hit the floor of the familiar room. The dizziness from the travel made him almost dazed until the table in the room was thrown towards the wall in a very harsh manner.
"BETRAYER!" The loud growl made him stand up with wide eyes because Jungkook looked feral, but the reason was still not very clear. He knew Hoseok, yet he was losing his control in such a way... it made Taehyung upset, too.
"I'm not a BETRAYER! I just wanted to visit the hospital because certainly, you have no belief in me being in pain!" It wasn't the time, but he couldn't control the rage building inside along with the pain. Wolf or not, the words came out of Jungkook's mouth, and it was enough reason to hurt him again.
Jungkook sneered, his eyes turning back to normal before they were red again. "Mate is cheating!"
"I'm not, hyung. Why are you blaming me? I... I'm doing everything possible to fit here, to obey you, then why is your wolf so angry at me?!" The lips that were wobbling caught Jungkook's attention.
"I just wanted to be sure about my abdominal pain, that's why I called Hoseok hyung to drop me at the hospital. You were so far away from me these past few days. Do you even acknowledge that? No, you don't, and now you are calling me a betrayer? A cheater?! Why hyung?!" Taehyung gasped when his shoulders were in a bruising grip next second he finished his words.
"YOU ARE A BETRAYER! REEKING OF SOMEONE ELSE WHEN YOU WERE TOLD TO STAY HERE!"
"What are you talking about?" Trying his best to keep his tears inside, he whispered, not really getting the meaning behind it, but his breath hitched when his hoodie was harshly pulled down.
"LOOK AT THIS MARK! We hate it!" Referring to the new mark on Taehyung's neck beside the old one, the raven-haired growled. "We don't share!"
With a little push, the blue-haired left with wide eyes, running to see what was shown to him, only to gasp again. There was another mark, and the thing to make him terrified, he didn't even remember getting this mark.
"I... I don't remember." A nerve-racking, dark laughter was enough to run a shiver down Taehyung's spine.
"You don't remember?! What are you, Kim Taehyung?! You let a rouge mark you and deceive my pack!" Gritting his teeth, Jungkook seethed and punched the wall, making the human flinch.
"Hyung... please, try to understand me. I really don't remember going anywhere. Two days ago, I didn't know how I reached my house! I was..." Blinking slowly, another reason made its way into his jumbled-up mind.
"Wait, it was your mother!"
"What?" Jungkook frowned, his eyes zeroed on the male who looked kind of dazed.
"Your mother... she called me to the pack house two days ago. Then she spewed some nonsense... like... like wanting an heir from me, and my body is changing for that." Biting his lips hastily, he marched forth to take Jungkook's hand in his own. "Remember, I was telling you about my pain... it must be related to her. She is a witch, right? She admitted that she was doing something to me, hyung! That's why I was going to the hospital for a check up, even when it makes no sense."
Jungkook's blank expression shattered the little confidence that made him blurt out everything. "Hyung?" The lack of response was making him nervous. On top of that, those red eyes stared down his soul.
Without saying a single word, Taehyung was dragged out of the house to the pack house. "Hyung?" Again, no response was given, only wide eyes from the people in the way along with the maids inside the big house.
"Hyu -" The words stayed stuck in his throat when he was pushed forward inside the very familiar room, making his feet tumble a few times before he halted to see the surroundings.
"Taehyung, did she talk to you two days ago?" Pointing at the back, Jungkook asked with his blank tone. Taehyung clutched his hoodie, not feeling good about the matter, but turned to see the same lady lying on the bed covered with a blanket.
"Yes, she did. And... and after she finished talking, I didn't remember much till I woke up in my house." Again stating what he remembered clearly, he looked around to find the same maid who called him in the pack by lying about Jungkook calling him.
Frowning at her, the blue-haired rushed to the maid and demanded in a stoic tone. "Tell your sire that you came to call me two days ago. You said that Jungkook hyung was waiting for me here, but in the end, Mrs. Jeon talked with me."
"Come on, say something!" When she kept her head low, Taehyung lost it, and his voice went up lightly. "Tell him what you said and what your Luna talked about!"
"Wait, let me ask her." Marching towards the sleeping older, he knelt on the floor and softly called her. "Mrs. Jeon, wake up, please."
"Stop."
"I won't hurt her. I just want to wake her up. She called me son and definitely won't lie." With that hope, he tried to shake the sleeping lady by extending his hand, but even before he could touch the skin, his hand was caught in a bruising grip and when he focused his eyes, his throat went dry when white eyes welcomed him.
"Don't. Touch. Her." As if his voice was lost when the command was made, and he was pulled up to stand in front of the male who was glaring at him.
"Hyung -"
"STOP LYING YOU HUMAN!"
Human?
A single word and Taehyung felt his hopes dying. Because it wasn't the word... it was a slap, a clear slap that he really didn't belong there. But what about his heart that already gave up on the sweet and kind-hearted Jungkook? It wasn't ready to give up just like that when he needed to stay rooted in front of the alternative side of the same person.
"I... I'm not lying, believe me, she said it all. And that maid was there too."
"SHE CAN'T SPEAK TO YOU!"
"WHY! She did talk, and that was too rubbish! Your people lied, first Neena and now this maid. You should be confronting them, not me, Hyung! Why can't you see it all? They don't like me. They don't want a human as your mate! Their pride is hurting to see a human as their leader!"
Shouting with his might, Taehyung turned to the lady and snatched the blanket away, not knowing what he was doing. He was just desperate to prove himself right because it was hurting him a lot.
Not knowing, his one move was going to shatter many things... including a tad bit of hope that was still lingering to make him fight for what he had for the older.
A loud whimper left his lips when his body was thrown away from the bed, making it collide with the wall before it collapsed beside the table. Leaving him in total shock... he was thrown brutally, not physically, but his emotions crumbled down.
"She is in a coma for weeks! You are wearing that disgusting mark over you and are blaming my people, Kim Taehyung! Masking your deeds with my mother's situation is not going to work! Stop lying! That maid has been mute for ages! You are in no pain. You are faking it all!" Taehyung forgot to breathe when a low and deep voice continued wounding his soul.
"If you hate it here, just say it, don't go around shaming our pack! This stupid Jungkook is still too blind to see it all and take action." The voice came closer, warm breath fanned his nape, yet he did nothing, even when the pain in his abdomen was reaching its limit.
"But I'll keep you chained in my room, mate. You can not go away after disgusting my mark with another one. I'll kill him to make both of you suffer."
With slow motion, he managed a small glimpse of those red eyes again, only to find his sight blurred the next second. Just like his heart, his eyes were crying, but the pain was unexplainable even through the salty water... maybe tears of blood could do justice to his hurt. But did it matter when the older one was just not ready to even listen to him?
Calling him a liar, a betrayer, a cheater, and now his self-respect, was also crushed that he treasured all his life... was all he got in turn of accepting the most difficult person in his life. The other had no trust in him... not a bit.
Another whimper forced to come out of his lips, but he gulped it down and gathered all of his courage to be on his feet. Keeping a blank expression and not glancing at the older, Taehyung scoffed lightly, which came out as a groan when his whole body ached at the movement.
"Thank you, Jeon Jungkook. Wolf or not, hyung, I lost it. I lost in front of you all. A... a pathetic human... a weakling like me, lost it." Mumbling softly, still keeping his eyes away from the blazing ones, he rushed to the door and just rushed out of the place that felt like narrowing over him, suffocating him to death. He just wanted to go away... he never meant to be there. It wasn't his home without kind Jungkook... no one was able to understand him.
Reaching the main door with difficulty, he saw Namjoon, Jin, Yoongi, and Jimin standing there with blank faces. None of them believed him, maybe there was a pity for him... their eyes screamed it, their faces told it all, and he wasn't going to ask for help from them. After all, they were part of the pack, too. Why would they listen to him?
Smiling sadly at them, he just moved forth when Jungkook growled. "Don't even try to run away again, mate. I'd chain you up for real!"
Wiping tears with a harsh brush over his skin, Taehyung just ignored his words but couldn't move any further when his body gave up to the strongest shoot of pain in his abdomen, and this time his sight blurred, not only because of tears.
The next second, his body was curling on the cold floor, with all the spectators gasping at the view unfolding there. Taehyung clutched his hoodie, feeling something leaving his body, maybe... his soul was trying to escape before it was caged for so long to make him go insane. But another whimper left his dry lips when his body started to turn cold with a somewhat warm feeling down there.
"Taehyung!"
A hand was tapping his cheeks, he saw the male... those blond hair told him the name. Someone was worrying behind him, too. However, he couldn't respond in any way. Just gasps and whimpers left his agape mouth, which felt like whimpers of death... the death of his hopes and dreams, and killers were there right there, yet he couldn't do anything else except let his begging eyes close.
Unaware of the pooling blood staining his white pants...
