🎈It's not real🎈

Hoseok's POV

I couldn't sleep. I didn't dare to. The loud ticking noise of the old clock that I had never seen ever before was haunting me. The loud scraping metal of something iron along the wall made my skin shiver.

I was just seeing things... that's normal after a break-up... right? You get sad, get a bit of a depression... go on with your life?

That's where it went wrong. It has been a year ever since Hwayeon broke up with me. I'm still seeing things. I went to a therapist and a psychiatrist. They died not even a week after I met them. I saw blood on walls, reflections of demons in glass, I felt as if someone was constantly watching me.

Hwayeon... did you do this to me?
If so... then why can't I feel anything for you anymore?

I sniffled softly. A loud squeal slipped from my lips when I heard the same metal scrape, but it slammed against something. The wall.

I began to sob quietly. I can't do this! It's killing me...

The sun rose, but I didn't want to get up. Whatever happened in the hall or my house... I don't want to see it. I shakily reached for my phone.

"Yes?"
"Seokjin hyung?"
"Hoseok? What's wrong?"
"Can I stay with you for a few weeks?"

A small silence. "Yes... Yes of course. I have a roommate, but he is very nice." Another small silence. "Do you want me to tell him about your thing?"

"Yeah... yeah do that." I replied. "I'm going to arrive soon. I haven't come out of bed yet and I'm scared to look in the hall. Can you make me something please?"

"Of course." Jin replied. "I'll make you some scrambled eggs if you want to, or anything." I sniffled again. "Thanks hyung... I'll be there."

We hung up, and I immediately pulled on some sweatpants and a loose shirt that laid messily on the floor, put my unicorn slippers on, and went out with my phone, sliding down the window and water pipe. I had done it countless of times.

It had gone so far, to the point where I became scared of my own house. I walked towards Jin's house. I got weird glares from people as I tried to keep my head down. I didn't want to see the bloodstained walls, or the demons that stared at me.

I quickly arrived, sobbing into Jin's arms once the door opened. "Hyung! I think this one is for you!" The unknown voice yelled. I immediately parted from him, looking down shamefully. "I'm sorry... I thought you were Jin hyung..."

The man chuckled. "No problem. You must be Hoseok, right?" I nodded. He smiled. "My name is Yoongi, I'm Jin's roommate." I nodded quietly. "Is Jin here?" "I am!" Jin yelled.

He came almost falling down the stairs. "Sorry, I had to dress." He smiled. "Come in Hobi, take it easy." I nodded, slipping past Yoongi to the couch. Yoongi tilted his head. "What's wrong with him?" He asked Jin.

"He sees things that aren't there, it's making him insane, he told me. He doesn't dare to go into his hallway, so be can stay in here for as long as he needs to. Sorry if it comes so suddenly." Jin explained. Yoongi nodded. "It is suddenly, but it's fine." He smiled.

"More for me to snack on." He chuckled. I snapped my head towards him with wide and teary eyes. "H-hyung..." "Yes?" Jin asked. "Is he real?" I asked, sniffling softly. Jin nodded. "Yoongi is real." I nodded hesitantly. "Can I have scrambled eggs?" I asked, pouting slightly.

Jin nodded, making his way to the kitchen. Yoongi smiled at me. "So, nightmares?" I shook my head. "They're... I don't know. I see things that aren't there. Things that make me afraid and want to scream for help."

Yoongi tilted his head. "Really? Like?" I gulped. "Last night, I heard metal scraping along the walls, I heard water drops fall, I heard laughter. Evil laughter in a husky dark voice which sounded like it was from another world. I saw human and inhuman shadows move and lightning strikes." I gulped, sniffling and sobbing quietly.

"I haven't slept for over three weeks and I'm sick of dealing with this!" I yelled, gripping my hair tightly. Yoongi grabbed my wrists, pulling them away carefully. "It's okay now. You're not alone anymore. Jungkook won't get to you anymore." He said softly.

"Who is Jungkook?" Jin asked, setting the plate down onto the coffee table. "Jungkook... he is... him." Yoongi replied with a sigh. "I guess it'll make you feel better. Jungkook is the one who can give these illusions to humans." Yoongi said lowly. Jin frowned. "He is the guy who you were complaining about?" He asked.

I gulped. "So I don't have these things originally?" "No. Jungkook feeds of fear, but he only feeds from one human at a time. And he is very greedy." Yoongi growled. "It's a shame to ruin these young boys. Especially the attractive ones."

Yoongi frowned. "Hoseok, I need you to stay with us for a few days. Is that alright with you? I'm going to try and lure Jungkook out." I shivered slightly at his low tone. "Will it hurt?" Yoongi nodded. "He'll get hurt. By me, that is."

I gulped. "What time?" "Just try to sleep." Yoongi replied. "I'll lure him out, and I won't stop until he bleeds from my hands." He growled. Jin shook his head slightly. "Yoongi, think about this. Seeing you might make things even worse if you fail."

Yoongi sighed. "I can't expect him to believe me immediately. But Jungkook is taking things too far." He growled. Jin nodded. "I agree, and I'm willing to help, but keep your fangs to yourself." He said lowly. Yoongi nodded. "I'm experienced and mature. I can promise you that he won't tempt me."

The day slowly went by, and my nervousness grew with every second. Yoongi promised to stay with me. Every time when I saw something, Yoongi whispered sweet words into my ear, comforting me and letting me cry on his shoulder.

"Listen," Yoongi started when he got me ready for bed. He didn't even let me alone while brushing my teeth! "Jungkook is strong. And he is inhuman. If you see him, then please keep in mind that I'm doing everything to stop this nonsense." Yoongi said lowly.

I nodded. "I don't get why though." I said softly. "Why do you want to help me?" Yoongi frowned and sat down at the edge of the bed. "Me and Jungkook have had a rivalry for decades. I knew once my mate was close that he would go after him or her." Yoongi growled. "Mate?" I asked.

Yoongi nodded. "When I say that Jungkook in inhuman, I also mean myself. We don't really get a choice to love. We do, but we'll always go back to our mate once we find them." Yoongi took a deep breath, inhaling through his nose to catch a scent.

"They smell like vanilla and flowers. They smell fresh and like love." He said softly. He turned to look at me, smiling kindly. "I will do anything to protect my mate." He smiled. "As long as he loves me back."

Before I could ask again, Yoongi sighed. "Goodnight Hobi. I'll protect you." He smiled again. Jin walked in just a second later. He froze when he saw us. As did I. "I... I thought you were already asleep." Jin squealed. "No... I was gonna. Is this one of Jungkook's doings?" I asked.

Jin shook his head slowly. "No. Sorry... I'm... real." He sighed. I gulped. "Y-Yoongi hyung... What is he?" I asked trembling. Jin looked down, clearly ashamed and guilty as he scratched the back of his neck. Yoongi took a deep breath. "He is a Pandorian. Just like Jungkook."

"I'm sorry Hoseok, but you have to sleep. I'll explain everything in the morning." Jin said softly. I hesitantly nodded, closing my eyes. I took a few hours to get to sleep, since I messed my sleep schedule up. But I did.

This time, instead of the usual nightmare. It was black. Just darkness. Darkness, and one young man standing in the dark. He had the same skin tone as Jin, as well as eyes and color palette.

His hair was just a raven black with a few highlights of pink, like hair dye which was almost fully faded. He had a dirty smirk on his face, as if he was planning something dangerous which he would enjoy.

"They're planning something. Aren't they?" He asked. The man tilted his head. "Answer me." He demanded with a growl. "Who do you mean?" I asked softly. "Yoongi and Seokjin." The man replied.

I hesitantly nodded. "Who are you?" The man chuckled. "You know who I am Hoseok. Yoongi told you about me himself." That is when it hit me. "J-Jungkook?"

He nodded. "Pleasure to meet you. Yoongi cares so much for his mate that he is even willing to die for him. They're holding false hope, Hoseok." Jungkook chuckled. I gulped. "What are you planning?" I asked.

Jungkook grabbed my throat tightly. "I'm going to make your mate hate you. I'm going to make you mine.." He chuckled. I began to sob, crying of fear. Jungkook dug his nails into my neck, causing me to scream in pain.

Yoongi abruptly turned to my sleeping body of the sudden scream. Jin was just as shocked. "... Where is Jungkook?" He asked.

I could feel the veins in my neck almost popping from my skin, that feeling continuing to go up to my eyes and eventually my head. It was hurting too much. Jungkook smirking as he watched me panic and in pain.

He growled lowly. "Don't worry. Soon you'll see how good it is to be someone like me." He chuckled. Another rush of that same feeling washed over my body when I heard someone call my name.

"Hoseok! Wake up!"

Jungkook growled. "Ignore them. Listen only to me." He ordered. My mind began to fog, clouding as memories faded away slowly... or replaced.

"Jungkook..." I breathed out shakily. Jungkook smirked. "Yes, that's me." I weakly opened my eyes, closing them immediately after another rush of the same darkness. "Jungkook!" It was all him...

"Hoseok wake up! Please!"

The voice sounded desperate... Who's was it? Jungkook growled again. "It's only me. Just you and me." He dug his nails further into my skin, yet this time... it was pleasurable. It felt good.

A soft groan slipped past my lips. "Jungkook..." I breathed out again. "Jungkook... Jungkook..." It was all him. Just him. Always him..

Jungkook hesitantly pulled his nails from my skin, grinning at me. I growled lowly, being able to open my eyes. "My love..." He said softly. "It's time." My chest heaven up and down from the rushes of darkness growing with every move and second. "For?"

"His end."

Images flashed before my eyes. Anger grew within me as my growls slowly became deeper.. more dangerous. "His end..." I repeated. I chuckled. "Finally."

Jungkook smirked. "Do you remember, my love? How he tortured me? How he tortured us?" I slowly nodded. "He burned us. He chained us and broke us into pieces of weakness." I snarled. I balled my hands to fists. "How dare he..?"

Yoongi trembled in anger and guilt, his eyes and cheeks stained with tears. Jin comforted him as best as he could, but he knew best what it felt like when a mate's bond broke.

"I can't reach him in there hyung!" Yoongi cried. "I can't get Jungkook away from him like this!" He yelled. Jin silently comforted the younger vampire, his bloody tears staining his pale skin. "I'm sure he'll be strong for us."

I growled lowly. "Why isn't he here?" I asked. "You have to wake up. You're trapped in a dream." Jungkook replied. "How do I wake up?" I asked. "Just wake up, my love. I'll be there when you do." He smiled slightly, pecking my lips.

I shut my eyes tightly, focussing on one thing. Waking up. I opened my eyes again, panting slightly. There was no one in the room, except for Jungkook. He smiled at me.

Not even a second later Yoongi stormed inside. His eyes were puffy and red, just like his cheeks, which were stained with bloody tears. Jungkook growled at him. Yoongi didn't move. His face was tense just like his neck.

He sniffled, tears forming in his eyes again. He wanted to say something, but all that came out were broken sobs and cries. What was he so sad about?

I looked up at the man behind him. He shook his head slowly, growling at Jungkook. "Do you know what you did?" He spat. Jungkook scoffed. "Relax Jin. I got it. I finally got my mate."

That only makes Yoongi cry even more, as he pushed Jin aside running out of the house and slamming the door shut loudly. Jin growled loudly. "Jungkook, I underestimated you. I thought you were going to fight, but you went too far with this!" He yelled.

Jungkook growled back. "I did what I had to do, and I do what I want!" He yelled back. "You can't take away someone's mate Jungkook." Jin said lowly. "You refused me. I think that destroying my heart was enough."

Jungkook frowned angrily. "I didn't want you. I wanted Hoseok. I love him. I love him like no one else can!" He snapped. "Than why did you turn him so paranoid?! He was so scared of you, I remember the first time that he came to me. He told me he saw blood on the walls, written and dripping down as if they were freshly applied and drawn, with the sentence: You Can't Escape Me Hoseok." Jin said softly.

I frowned. "Leave him alone." I snarled. "Jungkook has done nothing wrong." Jin laughed darkly. "How many fake things has he pumped into that brain of yours?! You came crying to me, Hobi! Crying! He did it!" He yelled, pointing at Jungkook. "He made you this way, and he caused you to go insane!"

I growled at him. "You're lying! Jungkook, tell me he's lying!" I yelled. Jungkook looked down, sighing deeply. "I did it because I love you." He said softly. I growled lowly. "Did you lie to me?" I asked lowly.

Jungkook hesitant nodded again. I pinned him by his throat tightly. "You lied to me, you apparently haunted my human body, and you refused a mate just so you could get me. I hate people like you." I snarled. Jungkook gagged slightly before crystal tears ran down from his cheeks. "I'm sorry..." He whimpered.

Jin grabbed my shoulder. "Let him go. Someone else needs your help right now." He said softly, with a hint of venom towards Jungkook. "Find Yoongi. I'll take care of this troublemaker." Jin growled. I nodded, letting Jungkook fall, not even paying a last glance to him. I heard him call out for me in between tears. Why should I bother? I have better things to do.

The scent of vampires and blood came closer quickly, the closer that I got to the park. I froze once I saw him. Jungkook filled my head with false memories of him. I wonder what he's really like.

Yoongi looked up at me and looked back down again, weakly swinging back and forth on the children's swing. "What are you doing here?" He spat. "Aren't you supposed to be with Jungkook." He spat his name out like venom through his fangs. They're pretty. I stayed silent.

"Well? What are you doing here?!" Yoongi hissed. "I'm apologizing." I said softly. "Jungkook lied to me, filled my head with false memories. I don't know how you really are, Min Yoongi." I said softly. "I realize now that he needs mental help, and I'm sorry for hurting you if I did."

Yoongi sniffled, new tears rolling down from his cheek. "It doesn't matter. The bond broke anyway." He sobbed. "I don't feel that way." I replied. "I still feel something. It's trust, but in a whole other way."

Yoongi looked up at me. "But you're a Pandorian now. For what I know you're a Nightmare, or a Dreamcatcher and you'll kill me in my sleep." He scoffed. "I won't do that." I replied. "How do I know?" He asked.

"I'll let you bite me." I answered. "I'll let you turn me if that is still possible." Yoongi widened his eyes, wiping his tears away. "You will?" He asked. I nodded. "If that makes my mate happy." Yoongi swung his arms around my neck, sniffling and sobbing of happiness. "Thank you Hobi!"

"Do it quick before I change my mind." I chuckled. Yoongi wasted no time and buried his fangs into my neck, the coldness of the sharp blades connecting with my inner skin made me shiver.

My sight became blurry as I tried to keep myself standing. My body burned in pain and my neck stung like it was ripped apart. I could feel Yoongi wrap his arms around me before my sight disappeared and I blacked out.

I woke up hearing voices. Loud voices. Yelling voices. One of them I recognized as Yoongi's, the other, I recognized as Jungkook's. I hissed at the thought of him.

I sat up, hesitantly looked at my skin. I was pale. Very pale. I felt thirsty, fangs pushing into my bottom lip. A strong pull towards Yoongi. Like I needed to be with him. No one else. Just him.

I followed my instinct, finding both of them yelling at each other in the halls. "You can say sorry!" Yoongi yelled. "I did say sorry!" Jungkook yelled back. "Say it with emotion! Like you mean it!" Yoongi hissed. I could feel his anger.

I wrapped my arms around him, causing Jungkook to freeze and look down in guilt. Yoongi turned around to me, smiling widely. "You're awake!" He yelled happily. I nodded. "I am."

Yoongi smiled widely. "You're so pretty..." He said softly. Jungkook hesitantly nodded in agreement. I hissed at him. "Jungkook, say sorry to him, and mean it." I hissed. Jungkook gulped and kneeled down. "Hyung, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I never meant to have these consequences. Please...Forgive me? Have a slight bit of heart for a Nightmare like me..." Jungkook begged.

Yoongi hissed lowly. "On one condition." He growled. Jungkook nodded. "Anything." "You will never interfere with anyone's mate ever again." He hissed. Jungkook gulped but nodded. "I promise." He said softly.

"Get out." Yoongi hissed. Jungkook nodded, walking outside to Jin, who forcefully pushed him into the car and drove off, not before giving me a smile. Yoongi quickly pecked my lips, a soft tingling feeling spreading over them.

I smiled. "Mate..." I whimpered. Yoongi smiled widely. "My mate..." I placed my lips on his, feeling him kiss back. It felt so right to have him in my arms. It felt right to be with him.

It felt right to love him.

The End

I had no idea what paranoia actually was and still don't know really well. I hope you enjoyed anyways.
