"What are you doing here?" Jungkook asked surprised.

"Come on, that's all I get?" Jimin pouted.

"No, no, I am glad you're here but you're usually eating lunch with the king right about now."

Jimin kneeled on the ground next to Jungkook who was planting new plants. He had a green thumb because the garden looked absolutely beautiful.

"I have something to tell you." He grinned excitedly.

"Oh. What is it about?"

"Well you know, the thing we always talk about." He giggled, wiggling his eyebrows.

"It happened?" Jungkook asked in shock. They had always talked about sex especially Jimin. He was obsessed with experiencing that one day with an immortal.

"Yes! It was incredible! I have never felt so alive. Experiencing that with the king was mind blowing! I thought with Hoseok it was amazing, but with Yoongi it was—!"

"Hoseok? What? How did that happen when he hasn't even kissed you? He's doing it all backwards!"

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Jimin asked.

Jungkook felt his face turn red. Jimin was seriously confused at his question and that made him realize they were not talking about the same thing.

"Uhh...what are you talking about?"

Jimin smirked as he rolled up his sleeve. A white bandage was covering up the bite mark, but he slowly peeled a side of it to show his friend.

Jungkook's eyes widened in horror. He didn't know what was worse. His assumption or this. The bite mark was red and a little inflamed. It was on his forearm right above the mark Hoseok had left months prior.

"Wow. He fed on you." He said slightly disappointed. He knew the day would come because Jimin always got what he put his mind to. He just didn't know it would be this soon.

They had only been married a few weeks. At this rate, he'd be immortal at any time and would leave him behind. Jimin said he wouldn't, he wanted to believe it so why couldn't he stop feeling this way?

"Yes! I gave him a little taste. Next time he wants to feed on me I am going to make him claim me."

"Do you think he will?"

"Of course. They always come back for more."

"Right."

"Don't worry, once I get my immortality I will get you yours too. I better run because I'm late and he's kind of a time freak." Jimin said, getting up and wiping his knees.

Jungkook nodded and forced a smile. His heart started rapidly beating inside his chest. The sudden anxious feeling grabbing a hold of him. The fear he felt was indescribable. It was consuming and debilitating. He was so afraid and he didn't even know why.

He got up and took a deep breath while removing his gardening gloves. The deep breaths seemed to calm him down a little.

As he was walking around trying to clear his mind, he spotted Vernon by the door. Without second thoughts he walked towards him unsure of what he would even say.

"Vernon."

"Jungkook." He replied nonchalantly as always.

"You like me right?"

"Like is a strong word. I enjoy your blood, but other than that I don't really care for you."

Vernon had always been brutally honest with him which was one thing he appreciated. He continued to flip through the pages he was reading, completely ignoring Jungkook's presence.

"Vernon."

"Hmm?"

"Please turn me immortal."

To this, he looked up from the papers. He closed the folder and looked at Jungkook for a while. Until he finally busted out in laughter.

Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows confused. It was unusual for him to express any emotion at all so hearing him laugh was strange.

"Do you think I am insane?"

"What?" 

"What makes you think I will touch you in the slightest when Taehyung has prohibited me to?"

Jungkook's face turned bright red. "He's not my owner. He does not speak for me."

"Yeah, well he does speak for me considering his rank here is higher. His power and ability are more useful to the king than my own. Therefore, Taehyung has more power than myself. I do not wish to have him as an enemy."

"I don't understand. Why would he speak for me? I can take care of myself—I—"

"You know, it's funny to see history repeat itself." Vernon said with a slight chuckle.

Before Jungkook could even ask what he was referring to, Vernon leaned closer to his ear. "You have an admirer. Goodbye for now."

As soon as he said that, he disappeared. Jungkook turned around and spotted Taehyung in the corner. They hadn't spoken since the haircut incident.

Taehyung simply looked at him and then walked away. Leaving him clueless like usual.

•••

"Your majesty. I apologize for being late. I was with my friend." Jimin said as he bowed.

His face was already getting red simply by being in the same room as him. They hadn't spoken after he fed on him.

Yoongi wasn't as gentle as he was with his touch. He had been rough while he fed. Good thing that he had covered Jimin's mouth otherwise he would've made noise.

"Do not worry. I understand." He said avoiding all eye contact.

Jimin sat down and looked at his lunch plate. It was grilled fish, a side of cooked spinach and broccoli. He stared at Yoongi but he refused to look him in the eye.

It was obvious that by his choice of food he was doing this because he assumed that he had fed too much on him. Hoseok had always told him to eat "green leafy vegetables" after he was done feeding.

Something about those foods helped bring up his hemoglobin. As he began eating, the flashback of the previous night hit him. They were fresh in his psyche. Impossible to ever forget.

Yoongi pulled away from Jimin as his thick blood dripped from his lips. He wiped it with the back of his hand, smearing it over his cheek.  Then quickly tore a piece of his shirt to wrap Jimin's forearm.

Jimin felt a little lightheaded so he had to take a seat. His forearm was still stinging from the sensation of his teeth and his venom. It wasn't enough to turn him immortal but it was enough to cause him pain.

"Are you okay?" Yoongi panicked. It wasn't usual to see him panic. He was indestructible. Fucking untouchable. He was a god.

Jimin looked up and saw Yoongi's face that was painted with horror. The dried blood messily smeared all over his face although he looked sinister he looked so beautiful.  His eyes were now a deep red. He didn't look hungry or in pain like he always did. It seemed that he had really been craving his blood after all. 

"I am okay. It's normal for me to feel lightheaded. You've fed on others before. This is normal."

"I am sorry. I shouldn't have." He applied pressure on his arm. A little too harsh that it made Jimin gasp. So he released his grip a little.

"I allowed it. I wanted it." Jimin reassured him.

"You don't understand Jimin."

"What's there to understand? You wanted my blood and I gave it to you."

"I will get someone to come clean you up."

"I am fine. I really don't nee—"

Yoongi was out the door before Jimin could finish his sentence. He continued to hold the cloth against his forearm and Yoongi never came back.

"Did you have a busy morning?" Jimin asked, trying to spark a conversation.

"Hmm?"

"You didn't eat with me this morning. I assumed you had stuff to attend to."

"Of course. Being king is a hard job."

Still no eye contact. This was bizarre for Yoongi who couldn't maintain a conversation without looking you in the eye. It was to show his dominance but today his actions said otherwise. This felt like he was embarrassed or something.

"That's nice. I bet being king is hard. You have to sign all this stuff and make decisions for everyone in the country."

"Mhmm."

Jimin noticed that once again he was eating rare steak. The blood was pooling in the corner of his plate. Although he'd seen it before it still made his stomach turn a certain way.

"Are you being weird because of what happened?" He finally asked.

Yoongi slowly looked up to meet eyes with him. "Nothing happened."

"Look, I am okay. I am alive. It doesn't even hurt anymore. I have plenty of blood to spare."

"Drop it." He instructed.

"I don't understand what's the big deal. Why are you acting like this was wrong? I gave you permission to touch me and feed on me. You did nothing wrong."

"I said drop it you brat."

"But—"

"I didn't want to stop! Okay? I wanted to keep feeding on you. Do you not fucking understand what you do to me?"

Jimin blinked several times trying to gain his composure. He had never heard him scream let alone curse. Yoongi was always so cool and collected or at least that's what he appeared to be.

"Wow. Someone's cranky this morning." He murmured in hopes that his smart comment wouldn't make it worse. He picked up his fork to put some food in his mouth.

Yoongi stood up from his sitting position and pulled Jimin's chair with one hand forcing him to face him. This caused Jimin to be startled and he dropped his fork on the table.

"Don't think I don't know what you're doing." He said leaning down to his face.

"What do you mean?" Jimin asked nervously.

"You want me to turn you immortal. Don't you think I know that? Listen to me very carefully, you brat."

"I am not a brat." He was semi offended although at times he acted like it.

"I married you because you're human. You are not going to convince me to ever make you immortal. I don't want to give you immortality. I want you to live your life peacefully as a human. This marriage was not intended to be for my eternity. Only yours. You knew that the moment you signed and agreed. Don't ever do what you did last night. Do you hear me? Don't ever provoke me in that way again. I won't feed on you. Ever."

Jimin was a little discouraged with what was said, but he smiled either way. This was thrilling. He had never had anything handed to him easily so this wasn't unusual for him.

"Stop mocking me."

"I am not mocking you, your majesty." He responded with a smile still plastered on his face.

Yoongi clenched his jaw furiously, but then composed himself. He was king after all. He pushed Jimin's chair back to his original spot and then took a seat himself.

"Eat your food and no more talking."

"Whatever you say, your majesty." He mocked.

The rest of the meal was in silence aside from a few exchanged looks. When Yoongi was done he excused himself and left Jimin alone to finish his meal.

Although Jimin was bummed about Yoongi's confession, he wasn't completely hopeless. Because even though Yoongi said he wouldn't ever feed on him again, it was a lie.

They always came back for more.
