"Really, Chim, I'm okaaaayyy!"

"But I'm just really sad that I had to leave you." 

"I know. I'm sad too. But look, I've been keeping you to myself for almost all your life and moving in with Yoongi hyung doesn't mean we wouldn't see each other anymore. We still work under the same company, remember?" 

"But Tae, I'm just worried about you. You're stupid, clumsy and most of the time, a fuckhead." 

"Wow. I'm not really offended." 

"No. I mean. Take care of yourself okay?" 

"Yes Chim. I will." 

Taehyung and Jimin hugged for a long time, almost not wanting to let go of each other. 

Well, as the story goes, Jimin decided to agree to move in with his mate and Taehyung is so happy but sad at the same time. All these years, he felt guilty for caging Jimin in his arms just because he is the vampire prince that doesn't have a mate yet. But at least now, Jimin is free. He doesn't need to babysit his best friend anymore. And it's still one of the best things that Taehyung loves about finally having a mate. 

After being overly dramatic, they both said their final goodbyes and Jimin went inside the car, waking Yoongi who had already fallen asleep because of the very emotional and the goddamn long dialogue of repeated goodbyes as if they're going to be separated from each other for a very long time and in the farthest side of the earth. 

After that moment, Taehyung went back to his room and plopped down on his bed, feeling like shit when he thought of his current situation: There's too much work he needed to do in the company, Jimin left the house and he's honestly sad and lonely, he only visits his mate twice a month and there's the slut slash bitch slash whore slash hoe slush his mate's ex slash the supposedly nice girl slash the ultimate cockblocker of the TaeKook horny but fluffy, smooth sailing relationship slash the most hated character slash Ana who he doesn't know how to deal with. 

He was also constantly bothered on the fact that his mate and Ana are in the same company, having different ideas flooding his mind like, is Jungkook happy because Ana is now working under him, are the two of them always together, is Ana going to confess or maybe Jungkook will be the one to make the first move and so many more but all of those are fucking stupid, right?  Because little did he know that his mate's mind is filled with nothing but wanting to be with him.  Fine. They have feelings for each other. No doubt. But the problem lies on their stupidity and them being a dumb oblivious young men who are confusing themselves and loves making things too complicated just because they let even the smallest factor affect their thinking. 

No one could blame them though.  Jungkook is a victim of love and destiny. A man who experienced loving greatly, willing to sacrifice and give everything for the love that painfully carved in his heart that fate is a fucked up concept and a harsh reality. 

Taehyung, on the other hand, is a clueless guy when it comes to love. Though he's learning little by little what love is about and what loving really feels like, he still doesn't know what to do with it or how to deal with it. He's afraid about every little thing he was starting to discover, but everyone is like that. It's normal. We fear what we don't know. 

Or, according to Dan Brown, "We fear what we do not understand." 

We're all the same.  Werewolf, vampire, human.  We're all the same when it comes to love because love is love.  It's simple yet complicated. It's easy yet so difficult. It's both happiness and sadness. It is pain and pleasure. 

It is love. 

Taehyung and Jungkook just have to realize, to face everything, to be brave enough and to be strong enough to welcome it in their hearts before it's too late. Before everything crumbles without being built. 

"Hello?" 

Taehyung has almost fell asleep when his phone suddenly rang. 

"Hyung! It's code red again!" 

"But Jihoon I just came there five days ago." 

"Hyung! It's really too much now and I think he needs his mate to calm down." 

"Don't make it sound as if I'm a tranquilizer for a raging wild animal." 

"Frankly, that's what you are hyung." 

"Do you want me to help you?"

"Okay. I'm sorry hyung. But really, you're more than a drug, you're our saviour." 

"What did you do this time?" 

"That's the point hyung. We didn't commit any grave mistake but he sounded like we're on a life and death situation." 

"And, what do you got for me?" 

"Van Gogh art book?" 

"Fuck." 

"Is that a yes?" 

"Hell to the fucking yes." 

Taehyung happily ended the call and immediately rushed to see his mate. It's true that he's actually busy but honestly, he could meet Jungkook once a week like the usual but for a reason, he just doesn't want to. He still needs to think about stuff before actually coming to terms with his mate. But sometimes he just couldn't stand being away for too long because of the bond that's making him feel like he's going insane. 

So, off he goes to his mate's company wearing his usual attire that maybe Jungkook really finds adorable. 

Taehyung entered the company with all smiles, greeting the people on the way but once he got into the floor of his mate's office, his face fell into a frown. 

He felt so sad and down looking at the employees. Some are crying while typing something in their laptops, some are too shocked and are just staring blankly ahead, others are walking like zombies. Well, in fact, everybody looks like zombies with reddish eyes and scruffy suits, walking slowly like their brains isn't functioning anymore. 

This time, Taehyung took note to scold his mate for doing this to the employees. They don't deserve such treatments. 

The vampire released a long sigh before walking ahead but he was stopped by someone tugging his shirt right before he could open the door. 

"Thank you...hyung." Jihoon said, his knees are feeling so weak, his voice is low and raspy as if he hasn't been drinking water for the past few days and his eyes looked so sleepy. 

Taehyung wondered what really happened to this office. It just looked like a damn zombie quarters, filled with dullness, despair, hate, stress and depression. He remembers that after the code red last time, Jihoon said everything went back to normal except the fact that Jungkook became awfully nice. Taehyung was actually flattered because they thanked him with all their hearts but then, five days after, it's back to code red. Everything was back to a hell-like ambiance. 

"It's okay Jihoonie. Let me handle it, okay?" Taehyung assured and Jihoon gave him a weak smile before mindlessly started walking back to his desk. 

Taehyung was glad he could be of some help. So grabbed the handle and opened the door.  And it might be the worst decision he has ever made. 

Taehyung halted his movements just like how his heart felt like it stopped the moment his eyes landed on Jungkook hugging Ana. 

It was a sight that made him realize the difference of his Jungkook and Ana's Jungkook. 

The man he knows for a few months looks so different from the man he's seeing right in front of him.  It was just too different and he can't help but take details of the difference though it was making him want to cry.  Jungkook's arms were holding her in a gentle way as if she's the most fragile gem. His expression is so soft and peaceful while Ana comfortably buries her face on his chest. 

They look... 

They just look so perfect that Taehyung couldn't even get mad. So he just silently stood there watching his mate and his mate's ex feeling the warmth of each other. 

Jungkook noticed Taehyung and abruptly released the hug. The two werewolves looked at the vampire, Jungkook with a blank expression and Ana was more of a proud one. 

Taehyung returned their gazes and smiled sweetly. But it's honestly a strained smile that Jungkook might or might not have noticed. 

That smile almost took all of the vampire's strength that he felt his knees trembled. He didn't know that smiling in that kind of situation hurts so much. He didn't know that having a fake smile hurts no one but yourself. 

But he continued to smile. Because in that situation, he doesn't know what to do but take it all in. Breathing became painful, his chest feels so tight and his heart felt like it was wounded that it hurts everytime it beats. But he continued smiling. 

"Sorry. I guess you're busy. I'll visit some other time." Taehyung was able to say, proud of himself for not wavering and breaking down on the spot. With a final flash of an adorable smile, he then immediately closed the door and rushed out of the building. 

He ran with all the speed his legs could offer.  He ran so fast that ordinary people couldn't even notice him. 

He ran without direction, without knowing where to go. 

He kept on running while wondering when will he get tired. 

He kept on running so that he could say that it's the reason why he couldn't breathe. 

He's running, thinking that it can be the reason why his heart is pounding so hard that it hurts.  Then he stopped. 

He stopped running and looked up at the gray sky, pondering when it's going to rain. 

And as if the skies heard his thoughts, it started raining. 

He just stood there, in the middle of the street and lets himself be soaked, maybe it's so that no one, not even him, would be able to tell if it is his tears or the raindrops that were rolling down his cheeks.

~•~•~••~•~•~ 

"Jungkook, relax." 

"What?" 

"I, uh, I mean y-you don't have to shout at-" 

"You don't like being shouted at? Huh? Then get the fuck out!" 

"Jungkook, why are you being like this?" 

"Ana." Jungkook deeply breathe.

"Just.Get.Out." He continued, growling between his gritted teeth and Ana just gulped and nodded her head before going out. 

"Fuuuuck!" Jungkook screamed and slammed his hands on his desk. 

"Kook, go home." Hoseok said, watching their friend losing his shit. 

"We'll take care of the company. Just go home and rest." Namjoon added while exchanging worried glances with Hoseok. 

"Kook." Hoseok said again concerned at the younger whose head was directed at his desk, glaring. "Kook, please." He pleaded and sighed. 

Their words seemed to register in Jungkook's brain because he started moving, fixing his things without uttering a word. 

Jungkook was over the edge already or worse, even on the verge of slaughtering people. He was just so aggressive and short tempered for the past few days since it has been a month without Taehyung. He couldn't even contact him and everytime he secretly goes to his mate's house, the servants always say that Taehyung isn't around which he believed because he could confirm that his mate isn't there through the mate bond. 

He was left to mull over his mate's situation. Why did he suddenly disappear, not leaving even a text or a call. It's like he left without a trace and there's this doubt like what if he never comes back. All of those thoughts was making Jungkook insane. It was driving him crazy and he felt so helpless and frustrated. 

"Hyung. Sorry." Jungkook mumbled, sounding so tired and weak before he walked out of his office with an empty expression. While the two released a sigh of relief and weakly smiled at each other, silently praying for the youngest to feel better. 

Jungkook originally planned to go home and probably jerk off while thinking about Taehyung, but he ended up stopping his car and going inside a RestoBar&Cafe. 

Why?  Because he felt something. He feels that his mate is in there. He roamed around, sniffing his mate's scent that was growing stronger and stronger each passing second. After a moment of searching, he finally found him. He found Taehyung. 

He wants to immediately go and embrace Taehyung. He wanted to nuzzle his nose on the vampire's neck. He wanted to kiss him. He just wanted to feel Taehyung's warmth again. 

But he didn't make a move. He just watched Taehyung looking so happy while conversing with a guy that he knows too well. Of course, good looking guys that rivals his own looks should be remembered and marked as a threat. 

He was trying his best to hold back himself as he openly glares at the two who was sitting alone at the corner table, enjoying being together while the other was drinking beer and Taehyung was drinking a strawberry milkshake. 

He turned his back, feeling the flare in chest. He might not admit it but he was feeling betrayed. He thinks that Taehyung neglected him and never showed up for the past whole month because he was enjoying his time with another guy. 

Jungkook tried to calm down, he tried. He really did. But I guess being a true blooded werewolf really adds up to him being short tempered. So, instead of walking away, he turned around and walked towards his mate. 

"Hey. I'm Taehyung's mate." Jungkook said in a rather rude manner, cutting their conversation, while glaring at the man with his mate. 

Taehyung's eyes widen in surprise when a wild Jungkook appeared, oozing with bloodlust and sits beside him without sparing him a glance. 

"Oh. Hi. I'm Bogum, Taehyung's childhood friend and I'm the one helping him in the company at the moment." The other replied politely and calmly with a smile that could melt people's hearts though Jungkook thought his smile is a thousand times better.

"J-Jungkook what are y-" 

"I'm Jungkook. CEO of Jeon Corp. and Taehyung's mate." Jungkook stated, with his flat tone, still not sparing his mate a glance because his eyes were fixed on the man in front. 

"I know. Taehyungie told me about you." Bogum responded, still in a relaxed manner, seemingly not affected by Jungkook's deadly gaze and that irritates the younger even more.

"And I also know you're not really dating." Bogum continued and smirked and Jungkook concluded that he is a devious man. 

Taehyung felt the thick aura surrounding the table. He looked at Bogum then back to his mate. He gulped at the sight of his mate's seriously mad feature. The furrowed eyebrows, the strong death glare and the hands that were balled into a fist on his lap. 

"Jungkook." Taehyung whispered, his hand reaching the younger's fist but Jungkook was quick to grip his wrist and the next thing he knew was that he was being pulled out of the restobar and cafe. 

"Jungkook? Jungkook!" The older tried to shout but it seems like the true blood was frighteningly furious that he lets himself be pulled. 

"Ah!" Taehyung gasped when Jungkook threw him in the backseat of his car. "Jungkook what the f-mm!" Taehyung was cut off by a pair of lips, passionately kissing him. The vampire lets himself be dominated as he kissed back, missing the feeling of his mate's lips against his. 

They glided back until Taehyung's back hit the other side while they continued kissing. Soon, Jungkook's kiss became rough and angry as he thought of why Taehyung never visited or contacted him for a whole month but has the time to drink a strawberry milkshake with another man. 

"Jungkook." Taehyung breathed and god, he felt a chill ran down his spine hearing his name from his mate's mouth, his mate's voice after a long time. 

"Taehyung." Jungkook growled his fangs showing along with his shining silver eyes. 

They stared at each other's eyes, beautiful silver and crimson red reflecting on their orbs, the colors blending perfectly. 

"Remember who you belong to."
