💡Holding Back💡

Yoongi's POV

I groaned as I massaged my foot carefully. I had tripped clumsily earlier. My foot was swollen and hurt, but as a hunter, you can't let pain stop you.

Namjoon sat down beside me and smiled kindly. "How's your foot? You tripped really bad." He asked concerned. "I'm fine. Thanks." I replied with a sigh. "It's just hurting a bit."

Namjoon nodded. "I see. Have you tried letting it cool in the water? Perhaps it helps." He said tilting his head. I sighed. "This all would have been easier if Hoseok didn't die. He was our healer!" I whined.

"I know. He died with honor, and we won't forget him. For now, we'll have to deal with ourselves and each other until the next hunter has been chosen." Namjoon said lowly. I hissed of pain when I tried to lean on my foot.

"Aish! That vampire maybe was a bit too strong..." I hissed. It hurt so much. Namjoon looked at me concerned. "Go home and rest Yoongi hyung. I'll take the watch tonight. Don't worry." He smiled.

I nodded. "Thanks Namjoon." He let me lean on his shoulder for support as I stumbled my way back. Until I laid down on my bed, Namjoon left.

I had trust in him. He was a good hunter, and the Soul Taker out of the three... two of us. I was just the Hound, but I was glad to be able to protect Daegu. Even if I didn't really matter.

K.NJ 💡

My eyes roamed everywhere around the city. I gripped the handle of my sword tightly. I wasn't up for killing, but if something was setting Yoongi's town in danger, I had to stop them.

I heard a soft chuckle and I turned around immediately, facing nothing. I frowned and listened very closely. The soft breeze rustling the leaves, the water flowing softly and the sound of footsteps filled my ears.

I followed the footsteps quietly, drawing my sword from its holster. Nothing. I put my sword back and turned around to walk away.

I stayed dead silent when a sharp glass-like material was pushed against my throat, and my body was pulled against a shorter one.

"Hey there, Namjoon.." He chuckled. "I've been anticipating this meeting.." I growled and tried to wiggle myself out of the vampire's grip. The vampire chuckled lowly and put the sharp object on my throat, letting me feel the sharp edge.

"Bad idea. How about you and I grab a little bite to eat?" He said lowly. "Who are you?" I asked growling. I didn't like the sound of him one bit. "Jungkook is what I'm known as. Now. Come with me, or your little Hound is our next victim.."

I sighed. I didn't want to lose another partner. I nodded and the vampire let me go. I turned around to face him. Oh god. Two.

Behind Jungkook there was a smaller man, clearly a vampire. "Come on. We have to show you something." He said, smirking darkly. I nodded slightly, walking with the two. I don't want anything to happen to Yoongi.

The smaller vampire smirked and sat down in front of a river. "Sit down, my friend." I growled. "I am most certainly not your friend." I spat. Jungkook chuckled and grabbed my chin, pulling my sword from the holster.

I frowned. "Give it back." I growled. Jungkook chuckled and hummed. "Interesting." He carcasses the sharp edge, causing his finger to bleed. "It traps the souls of the dead. How... amusing." He chuckled.

"Isn't that right, Jimin?" The smaller man smirked and nodded. "Indeed. Perhaps he should be able to handle it better. Like a... vampire." He said lowly. I backed away from them.

Without the sword, I was powerless against them. Jungkook let me go quickly and hissed loudly. Jimin rushed behind me and grabbed my arms tightly. "Dear, dear Namjoon. Haven't you learned anything from all those kills? We've evolved.." He whispered with a chuckle.

I frowned and groaned trying to get away from them. Jungkook snapped his fingers and a purple orb formed in his hand. He forcefully opened my mouth and forced me to swallow it.

I coughed and growled trying to fight my way out. "Tilt his head." Jungkook hissed. Jimin smiled devilishly and nodded, tilting my head to the side. Honestly, I was better off as the Hound. I had more brains than muscles.

Jungkook smirked and sunk his fangs deep into my neck. I gasped. I wanted to scream, but because of the pain, no sound left my mouth. After a few minutes, Jungkook pulled his fangs from my skin, my blood dripping from his chin.

"Your turn Jimin." He said smirking. I widened my eyes and stayed in silent pain again as Jimin's sharp fangs penetrated my skin. It hurt tremendously. I finally managed to let a sound out, but this was nothing close to a yell...

A loud vampire-hiss escaped my lips as I forcefully pushed Jimin off me. Sudden anger was flowing through me as I looked at the two vampires, who smirked at me.

"Are you up for a bite now?" Jimin asked rubbing his shoulder not at all gently. I hissed and felt my gums, only to find out the worst. I carefully traced my fangs as I stared at the village with fear. "I think he is." Jungkook said smirking.

My breathing hitched. The sudden smell of blood filled my nose. I let out a low hiss once again and shut my eyes tightly. You don't want this Namjoon, you don't want this!

I hissed loudly not being able to get rid of the aching pain in my head and my throat. Something suddenly snapped. I looked at Jimin and Jungkook with thirst. "Why?" I asked panting. "Simple. One hunter less is one more survivor. And we thought you had been around for enough years." Jungkook replied shrugging.

He ran away with an inhuman speed, only to come back as quick as he left with a dead rabbit in his hands. I widened my eyes. The scent of blood was too strong. I parted my lips, staring at the dead animal.

"Drink. You'll need it if you want your Hound to survive." Jimin said smirking. I kneeled down in front of the rabbit, tracing its fur. I took a deep breath. It was already too late to turn back. I hesitantly sunk my fangs into it, widening my eyes.

After feeling satisfied, I pulled my fangs from it. "Enjoy that. You'll have to hunt on your own soon.." Jungkook said smirking. I looked up at him. "You wish. I would rather starve myself to death." I hissed. The vampires shrugged. "Suit yourself."

With that, they left, and I walked back to the village, taking my sword which Jungkook dropped. I widened my eyed, smelling all the different types of blood around the village. I covered my nose and my mouth with my hand and quickly ran back into the woods.

I couldn't do this. I can't! Why did I let myself get taken away?! I groaned and let myself drop to my knees. Tomorrow was going to be a nightmare. What would Yoongi think of me? I'm sure he thinks I'm a monster...

M.YG 💿

I groaned, turning in my bed. I swear I was going to die! I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stood up. With a lot of pain, I grabbed my bow, arrows and my quiver and walked outside.

I frowned, as Namjoon was nowhere to be seen. I went through the whole village, asking everyone if they had seen him. Sadly no one had. I left the village and searched around, when I heard soft whimpering and painful cries.

I followed the sound. When I came a bit closer, the noise stopped, and I heard a soft hiss. I listened closely. Leaves rustled and moved. Who or whatever it was, was trying to get away from me. I quietly ran after the running footsteps, determined to find out what was wrong. Maybe it was Namjoon.

I frowned and began to pick up my pace. "Dammid why are you so fast?!" I yelled angrily, panting out of my lack of energy and the stinging pain in my foot.

Suddenly, the figure stopped. I stopped with him, immediately recognizing those clothes. "Namjoon! Where were you?! And why did you run away from me?! Most importantly, how are you this fast?!" I asked yelling.

He didn't look at me, his back turned towards me. "Answer me Namjoon!" Namjoon looked to his side slightly and sighed. "Sorry Yoongi hyung. I can't risk anything." He said lowly. "I know you care about Daegu, but-" I got cut off rudely when I stepped forward to him. "Don't come any closer!" He yelled, his breathing slowly becoming faster.

I frowned and stepped closer to him. "Why?" I asked, tilting my head. "You're acting weird Namjoon." Namjoon gulped and wrapped his hand tightly around the handle of his sword. "I said don't come any closer." He growled. His voice trembled.

I abruptly stopped, hearing his threatening voice. "Joon, what's wrong with you?" I asked. Namjoon sighed and shook his head, taking off again with that incredible high speed.

I groaned running after him again. My foot was killing me. "NAMJOON!" I screamed loudly and collapsed onto the grass. I was exhausted. I turned to look up at the roof-forest, the leaves creating a sunblock. I closed my eyes and let my exhaustion take over me, having to relax for another few hours.

I woke up by a stinging pain in my neck. I opened my eyes rapidly only to be met with a hand against my throat, and the other pinning me down. I widened my eyes seeing no one else but Namjoon, leaning into my neck.

"Namjoon! What are you- Gah!" I screamed out in sudden pain. He hissed against my skin. I widened my eyes, realizing why he ran away from me. Why he didn't look around to me. I ignored his calls, and became a prey. A meal for him to enjoy.

I scrunched my face together in pain, when finally he retreated his fangs. His lilac-colored eyes staring right into mine. He wiped the remaining blood away and stood up, letting me go. I was too weak to move.

Namjoon panted and turned away from me. "I told you not to come any closer..." He said softly. I groaned. "I know. But I was worried." I managed to breathe softly. "How did you... become this way?"

Namjoon shook his head and snapped his fingers. I watched with half-closed eyes as an ice blue colored orb appeared into the palm of his hand. He turned back around to me and crouched down. "Open your mouth. This will be a lot easier if you do." He said lowly.

I weakly did as I was told, opening my mouth as wide as I could. "Swallow it." He let the orb drop into my mouth. With trouble, I managed to swallow it. The orb blocked my air pipe for a moment because of its size. But I managed to swallow it, coughing afterwards.

Namjoon looked at me and stood up. "Your energy should flow back soon." He said quietly. I started breathing heavier and heavier, slowly feeling myself getting stronger again.

I groaned and sat up. I flinched when I suddenly felt a burning sting in my gums. I touched it carefully, only to move away as soon as I felt the sharp edge of my fangs.

I sighed and looked up at Namjoon, who stared into the forest. "Why did you bite me?" I asked lowly. Namjoon looked at me and sighed. "I was thirsty. I had only one rabbit as a test subject from the vampires who turned me. I starved myself for the whole night. But you came too close. Your blood smelled like heaven. I had to get away, but you followed me. I lost control. So I made sure I can't make the same mistake ever again with you."

I stood up carefully supporting myself at a tree. I widened my eyes and looked down surprised. My foot didn't hurt anymore. "Namjoon... What is wrong with your eyes?" I asked softly. "I don't know. I remember it was the same color as the orb I had to swallow. Your eyes will probably do the same." Namjoon said lowly, examining my eyes.

His gaze changed. He smiled softly. "I care about you Yoongi hyung. If I would live for eternity, I'd want to have someone who I can protect." I sighed. "I know you care, and I feel the same for you. But... I know it'll be a get-used-to." I said lowly. I grabbed his chin and forced him to look at me.

I stared at his face. His plump limps, his silver hair, his lilac eyes, his pale skin, his piercing. But one thing caught my attention the most. His eyes. We stared at each other for a few minutes in silence. Enjoying each other's silence.

He licked his lips slightly. He gulped looking into my eyes. "You look like an ice prince like this." He said lowly. I scoffed and looked away from him. "Perhaps I am. Who knows?" I teased with a chuckle. "You would." Namjoon said, placing two fingers under my chin, forcing me to look up at him.

He tilted his head slightly and softly placed his lips on mine, closing his eyes for the time being. I didn't do anything. He broke the kiss quickly and stepped back a bit. "I'm sorry... It's just that I... I feel attracted to you..." He said quietly. "Do it again." Namjoon looked up at me surprised. "What?" "You heard me Namjoon." I snapped.

Namjoon smiled, showing his beloved dimples. He tilted his head again and connected our lips once again. Gently, I kissed back. He was attractive, handsome, and caring, he was gentle and loving. He was the one I had been waiting for.

He grabbed the nape of my neck and pulled me closer to him, deepening the kiss. He placed his hand on my waist.

After half a minute or so, he pulled away. He looked me right in my eyes and smiled. "Take me with you." I managed to breathe out. Slowly but surely, thirst took over me. Namjoon nodded. "I will. We'll be together forever." He said smiling. "Now can we eat? I'm starving." I whined.

Namjoon burst out in laughter. "Yes, of course." I smiled widely. "Thanks Joon." "Don't mention it Yoongs." He said smiling. I took a deep breath. "Namjoon?" "Yes hyung?" He asked turning around to me, about to walk away. "Please, be mine. Be my boyfriend." I said lowly, looking down.

Namjoon smiled and hugged me tightly. "Of course. I thought that was decided when we kissed." "Make it official." I said with a chuckle. Namjoon smiled. "I hereby am now Yoongi hyung's official boyfriend. You may kiss your bri- husband." He laughed, correcting his mistake.

I pulled him into a kiss this time, catching him off guard. "There. It's official now." I laid my head in the crook of his neck. "You're mine now." "And I always will be."

The End
