Ignore mistakes please

Third person P.O.V


The following night, Taehyung couldn't blink for the whole time, mind still occupied with the hybrid-like creature he saw in the evening.


Jungkook was also very much confused about the matter. He tried to convince the younger that it will be fine but when Taehyung couldn't agree with him, he fell silent, very deep in thought.


Wide open caramel eyes were focused on the locked door inside the cabin, soft breaths leaving his slightly parted lips because he was too much in a daze.


He was sure that the thing wasn't a ghoul or a human. The thing looked very much tall like him, much faster with slight limps, clothes half torn but very much covering his body, black but dusty hairs reaching till his shoulders.


He definitely saw his face as well but just a glimpse. The face wasn't like a ghoul's but more human-like if he ignored the rotting skin near the jaw and eyes. Even if that was a small glimpse, he felt the other's piercing gaze right through his soul and he just couldn't get rid of it.


Facing his trauma wasn't easy when another problem was already there. It was a clear sign that they were not safe anymore because someone or something else was very much free to enter their safe place.


A small thud from outside made him flinch badly but right at that moment, a soft kiss was delivered on the back of his neck followed by a warm breath and hand caressing his waist.


"What happened, baby?" Jungkook's raspy voice inquired but he was silent. Receiving no answer made the older to get up a bit by supporting his body on his left elbow.


"Tae?" Another thud and this time Taehyung got up as well only to hug the other, taking him by surprise.


"Hey hey, it's ok. Don't be scared." Taehyung snuggled his face in the other's shoulder while the other kept on patting his lower back after sitting properly.


The noises from outside only repeated twice before getting silent again, only distant growls of wandering ghouls could be heard.


Jungkook kept on whispering comforting words in his ears but he was more focused on the other voices. Every little voice was making him alert, scared that someone might break inside the cabin and tear them into pieces like that girl.


Only the imagination of that made him shudder, causing him to tug over the other's old shirt and snuggle more with raged breath. It was like a silent message that Jungkook received, he scooped the other more to make him feel warm and protected.


"I'm here, you're not alone. You're fine, ok? Just breathe, pup." Taehyung remained silent, just hearing the words as he internally prayed for everything to be a nightmare and open his eyes back in his room with his soft blanket and bouncy mattress.


A few minutes later, the older one of them laid back, taking the younger one with him as they both fell side by side on the uncomfortable bed.


Taehyung was still sticking to the raven haired and the other didn't mind that at all, instead, he kept on muttering sweet nothings to calm down his nerves. As he knew, how much traumatic it would be for the silver-haired to live the new change.


"I used to be scared like you in the first month." Taehyung opened his eyes when the other started in a whisper-like tone but didn't make any effort to move away.


"But when I realized that no one is here for me, to comfort me, I learned to be emotionless, to be fearless, and to be my own strength." A small pause and the soft caresses just made the environment kind of comfortable again so that the silver-haired could only focus back on their own breathing sounds instead of those blood-curdling growls.



"You shouldn't be scared and don't think too much about what you saw before. We will definitely leave this place and live our normal lives soon because you're not alone, I'm here for you, baby." Hearing that confirmation was very much comforting and Taehyung just bask in that.


"Thank you, hyung." Jungkook chuckled lightly, pecking the younger's hair before pulling him more closer.

"Anything for you, pup." Taehyung's lips curved a bit on that, making him close his eyes again when a soft kiss was delivered over his temple and then to his nose bridge.


"Now, get some sleep, you need to rest." Without saying anything, the younger nodded his head, hands still fisted over the other's shirt and face still snuggled closer to the other's neck, inhaling the musky scent that was oddly comforting as well.


It took a little while as he slowly fell into dreamland while sharing his body warmth with the older one.

______________

"Any news?" Jin shook his head, totally disappointed by the results he just got from his friend. He tried his best to get any information on the exact location but unfortunately, the last location was just a few miles away from the station.


"I'm sure, the cab driver is involved in this all! I told him to be careful but he never listened to me." Jimin patted the shoulder of the older, taking a chair near him.

"I know, he was always so easygoing and trust everyone in an instant. Being too good is also a curse in this world." Jin sighed, rubbing his forehead with his fingers when his phone buzzed with email notification.


He quickly took a look to be disappointed again. Another source showed the same results means they were still stuck to the same point, having no lead.


"I don't want to lose my hopes yet. I believe, he must be alive and fine, wherever he is." Jimin smiled sadly on hearing the other's words.


"Me too, hyung."

"Oh, you're awake now." Jungkook chuckled seeing the other's sprawled silver hairs over the mattress and cute pout on his lips with sleepy eyes.


"Don't laugh! I just woke up." The raven-haired again chuckled at the whine and the pouty face was just too difficult to ignore.


"Sure pup, now get up and freshen up. I got us breakfast." Taehyung smiled but gasped loudly before getting up and rushing to the older, eyes scanning the other's legs very keenly.


"Why you did do that?! I told you to rest and I'll do this till you heal properly!"

"But I'm totally fine now. Look, it doesn't bleed anymore and I can walk on my own." Taehyung pouted again, stepping back before stomping back to the bathroom with his spare baggy pants, muttering something under his breath.


Jungkook shook his head, setting the cleaned fruits back in the basket as he walked to the bed. It didn't take long when the silver-headed came out, slightly shivering after his shower with cold water.


"Ah, its- it's getting colder day by day." Gasping lowly on the shiver, he trudged towards the bed to find his bag to get his shirt. He was oblivious to the stare on his back, too busy finding something to just wear quickly to get rid of the coldness.


Sighing in satisfaction once his upper body was finally covered, he turned his head to find the older staring down his soul, which made him slightly puzzled.

"Hyung? What's wrong?" His innocent mind couldn't understand the dark gaze fixed over his now-covered body.


"Nothing," Jungkook muttered after clearing his throat, but his pinkish cheeks said otherwise. Taehyung looked hesitated before going to him and softly touching his forehead.

"You're getting red. Is it because of a cold or do you have a fever?" Jungkook smiled genuinely at the innocence of the other, he couldn't control himself anymore and pulled the other beside himself before engulfing him in a bear hug.


"Hyung-"

"Shhh, just let me hug you. You just make me feel so giddy, baby." Taehyung bit his lips, hugging back the other.


"You- you also make me feel like that, hyung." Jungkook pulled back with wide eyes and parted lips.

"What?" Taehyung got shy the way other was looking at him with doe eyes.


"I- I feel strange when you touch me. I don't know what to call it, but it is more than just liking." Jungkook smiled brightly, engulfing the other again and pecking his head over and over again.


"You made me so happy, love. You just make me fall for you more and more, pup. You're just so perfect, so so perfect for me." Hearing those words and a little bit of confession was enough to make his day better.


Parting away after a while, he gave a full toothy smile to the younger. He placed the basket in between them.

"Here, let me feed you today." Taehyung wanted to protest but the happiness on the other's face stopped him.

The whole day, they talked about their life experiences well Taehyung shared more of them, telling the other about his friends and all. For a little time, he forgot about the tensions in his life till it was again dark.


Jungkook was humming an unknown tone, hand busy massaging the younger's scalp as both of them were laying beside each other. He was just so happy the whole day and Taehyung felt at ease by seeing the sweet smile of the other.


"I forgot to tell you in the morning  but I found a heavy stone today." Taehyung's ears perked up at that. He got up from his laying position with excitement-filled eyes.


"Really? Where is it?" Jungkook smiled for the nth time that day and the reason was the adorable boy in front of him. Getting up from his laying position, he pointed towards the table near the window where a stone was placed on the wooden floor.


Without wasting another second, Taehyung was already on his feet to get the stone and in the next moment, he was facing the rusty lock.


"Time to reveal the secrets behind you." With full force, he hit the lock but nothing much happened. Jungkook also came behind him to see what was behind the door.


"Let me try." Taehyung shook his head and hit the lock again, almost dropping the heavy stone on his own feet and that's when Jungkook took it from his hands.



"Let me do it, pretty boy. You might hurt yourself at this rate." Huffing in disappointment, the younger nodded and stepped back to watch the other hit the lock.


"I thought it would break easily but it's so hard." Taehyung frowned when the other kept on hitting the lock but both of them turned back with wide eyes when they heard very disturbing noises coming from outside of the cabin.


"What's that?" Taehyung muttered under his breath, not ready for another trauma but the loud noise again startled them, followed by a loud scream from a male.


His shaky pupils met with Jungkook's confused ones but before they could move, they heard a loud thud from the ceiling of the cabin, as someone jumped there.


"Hyung-"

"Shhh." Jungkook quietly moved to get his knife, still hearing the voices from the ceiling as well as from outside. The loud screams of the male were mixing up with the increasing growls of the ghouls.


Taehyung's eyes followed the older's each moment until he found the other was about to open the door. Everything happened like a wave of wind, almost knocking the air out of his lungs, making his heart drop in dread as the door burst open and a boney hand of someone pulled Jungkook out of the cabin right in front of his eyes, dragging him away from their safe place.







"HYUNG!"
