Jeongguk gave his hyung a look of concern as the older shuffled inside his room with restless yet tired steps.

His worry only increased when Seokjin couldn't even spare a look at him before sitting at the edge of his bed.

The omega frowned and held his forehead with both of his hands;his eyes closed and breath uneven.

"Hyung....!",Jeongguk called out worriedly.

He crouched down infront of the older and rubbed his arms cautiously.

"What's wrong,hyung? Tell me what happened?!",he asked

Seokjin shut his eyes tightly. Taking a deep and shaky breath,he finally looked up at his brother with teary eyes.

The alpha gasped.

"Hyung!..... Wh-what happened?!",he cupped the older's face.

Seokjin's heart trembled in agony.He stroke Jeongguk's hand upon his cheeks and sighed.

"Gguk...l-listen to me c-carefully alright? And p-promise me....y-you won't' do anything out of sudden rage....",he mumbled.

The younger huffed impatiently.

-"Just tell me,will you?!"

Seokjin nodded quietly and gulped. He closed his eyes once more before blurting out the sour truth,-

"I-it wasn't only Taehyung and Jennie, Gguk.... J-jimin...-"

The omega took a long breath that seemed to burn his throat on its way.

-"....Jimin was with th-them too..."

Jeongguk's frowned in confusion.

"W-what do you mean?",he asked skeptically.

The elder prince sniffled and tried to calm himself.

"Jimin.....is somehow associated with the Kim's planning.He....he knew everything ,Gguk! But he never revealed the truth to us...He betrayed us too! I-",Seokjin's voice broke as his brother retreated his own hands from his face.

"Who told you these?",the alpha asked with a blank expression.

Seokjin shook his head slightly.

"I heard them just a moment ago.Jimin was in T-taehyung's office....",he mumbled under his breath.

-"I don't know how did all of this happened.... They seemed so close to each other.I don't know what is happening,Gguk!How could he hide such a truth from us; from you?!"

"Because he couldn't risk the life of his savior....",the younger replied;earning a frown from his elder.

"W-what.....?",Seokjin stuttered unconsciously.

He wasn't ready for any other mystery to be unfold.

"He owes his life to Taehyung-nim,hyung....How could he reveal his truth infront of everyone?! Our kingdom wouldn't have let him live...Vampires are our enemies,hyung... You know that!",Jeongguk trailed.

The omega remained silent. He knew it didn't really matter if he wanted to hear the truth or not;he was bound to accept it that day.

The younger sensed his brother's inner turmoil.He gave him a small smile as he continued,-

"Jimin...... Told me everything that day when Taehyung-nim attacked him and Jennie-noona.Hyung,he....he knew Taehyung-nim way before us... They met when Taehyung-nim came to our kingdom five years ago.He saved Jimin from a raged alpha that day when Jimin was returning from the palace.Jimin got to know about his identity that very day,hyung.... But he kept it hidden.From that day..... Jimin had helped them in many ways but nobody knew about it;not even Hoseok-hyung.And...."

He sighed while looking at the older's expressionless features.

-"....Yes;he knew everything about their plannings against Eomonie. He had been hiding it from me too.But it was all because....."

"Are you trying to defend him,Gguk?!",Jeongguk was cut off by his brother.

"I don't care what they are to each other! You are his mate,Gguk! HOW COULD HE LIE TO YOU?!",Seokjin yelled in frustration.

"He didn't lie to me,hyung! He can never lie to me;I know that. He just hided the truth.",The alpha said in his omega's defense.

"And you're fine with that?",Seokjin asked tiredly.

It became clear to him that he and his siblings had a major weakness for the persons whom they love.Once they are tied with someone, nothing can make them back away.

-"Yes.... Yes,I am.... Hyung, I'm grateful to Taehyung-nim! He saved my Jimin when even I wasn't there to save him.And if Jimin did all of this for his bestfriend....I don't have any complaints against him.And besides.... Kims have their own reasons behind this revenge, hyung.... Whatever Eomonie did to them-"

"I don't understand Gguk! What is wrong with you?! What is wrong with you and Jisoo? Why have both of you become this blind?! They've betrayed us and now they're lying on your faces and you're believing them?!",Seokjin threw his hands in air and gritted his teeth.

"Yes I do.... Because, I can only see genuineness in his eyes....",Jeongguk muttered.

-"I'm thankful that you think this way..."

Seokjin's hands turned into fists as the deep voice resonated throughout the younger prince's room.

He didn't even spare a single glance at the two figures standing infront of the door as he walked past them out of the room.

------------------

Seokjin mewled in halfhearted protest as Taehyung kissed the back of his earlobe;the younger's left arm caging him against himself while his right hand was holding the prince's face to keep him steady.

"S-stop it.....",the omega said even though his actions said otherwise as he tilted his head to give the vampire more access.

Taehyung growled in disagreement and his lips went down to the base of his mate's neck.

Seokjin's mind had become blank once again.He learned so many things about Taehyung in the last couple of hours and even Taehyung got to know that Seokjin had become aware about his secrets; They were supposed to have a closure or at least Seokjin was supposed to be mad at the younger; Yet here they were,melting in each other's arms as if nothing unusual had happened.

Tears spilled out of the older's eyes as Taehyung bit down on his mark and started consuming the crimson nectar of his omega.

"T-this is what y-you want.....",Seokjin whimpered.

The younger instantly stopped and looked up at him questioningly.

"You....you are selfish..... All of you!",he whimpered once again before pushing the vampire away by his shoulders.

His heart shattered at the way the other looked at him with pleading eyes.But he didn't want to fall in any other trap anymore.

"You.....you used Jimin in this game of yours. You made him betray my brother and now that I know about it;it still doesn't matter to you! What am I to you?! A source of blood?!",he cried.

"Seokjinah!",Taehyung's eyes widened at the older's words.

-"You know what? Our feelings just doesn't matter to you and your sister. And this is the biggest truth!  You just want to exploit us just the way your father did!"

"Do you even know what are you saying?!",the younger worded in a low voice.

Seokjin let out a dry laugh.

"Why? You thought I don't know anything about your father? General Jung told me everything about him.My father considered him as a loyal person but he betrayed my parents; just the way YOU betrayed my mother! I can see your blood has shown its real color,Kim Taehyung!"

"Enough!",Taehyung growled; making the omega flinch a little. But,he wasn't able to stop him completely.

"NO TAEHYUNG! Its still not enough after what you did to us;not after the way you're playing with my siblings' emotions too! I know what both of you want.Your sister just wants a heir from Soo and You? You just want to use me as a quencher of your blood thirst;that's it!",Seokjin wailed but stepped back immediately when Taehyung strode towards him with blood red eyes.

The younger grabbed his neck and snarled in a dark voice,-

"I said ENOUGH !"

Seokjin's omega cowered at his mate's tone and it was begging him to fall on his knees;to withdraw his every word;to seek mercy from the other.

But he still stared back at the younger fearlessly; squirming his neck a little because the grip around it was gradually increasing.

"You're questioning my love for you ,Kim Seokjin?!",the vampire snarled inhumanely.

"It was you  who had marked me before I did. It was you who tasted my blood before I did. It was you who first gained his mate's submission in both werewolve's and vampire's law and you're questioning my love for you?! "

Seokjin whined unconsciously as the younger brought his hand from his neck towards his cheek to cup his face and brushed his thumb upon the older's lower lip.

"It was you who imprinted on me sixteen years ago ,Kim Seokjin! Tell me that it was an opportunistic plan of a seven years old kid!",he chuckled hollowly.

-"I didn't even know what was happening to me,my prince...but I was already tied with you...forever. I waited for ten long years to see you..... And you are questioning my love for you?"

Taehyung's eyes traveled towards Seokjin's lips.He sighed and left Seokjin's face grimly as he clenched his own jaw.

Seokjin's mind became blurr.There were millions of questions in his mind that he became numb.

He couldn't believe what he heard; or rather couldn't understand a bit of it.

"W-what....?",he asked quietly;his legs trembling in anxiety.

Taehyung scoffed.

"Right...",he said breathlessly.

"You don't remember anything.... See! You forgot me Kim Seokjin;but I had died each and every day for ten years without a glimpse of you! You have forgotten your promise but Taehyung could never forget you! But still! I'm the betrayer, the opportunist, the exploiter.....I-",he frowned.

Seokjin shook his head slightly and he didn't even know why his heart was burning in immense agony and guilt.

The younger fished inside his coat's pocket and brought out the interlocking bracelet that he had once demanded from the older.

Still frowning, the vampire grabbed one of Seokjin's hands and handed the bracelet to him.

"I can't do this anymore....",he muttered and didn't give the older a chance to say something before leaving the room in a blink of an eye.

Seokjin's eyes fluttered as tears threatened to come out of those sockets. He looked at his hand;at his....their bracelet.

"It was you who imprinted on me sixteen years ago ,Kim Seokjin!"

"What are you doing here...?",he felt a soft voice muttering inside his mind and closed his eyes in reflex.

Sighing heavily,he looked at the bracelet once again.

"I promise I'll recognize it...."

Again....that same soft,tiny voice murmured at the back of his mind.

" I had died each and every day for ten years without a glimpse of you!"

" So I thought.....I should visit the Southern kingdom to meet my prince!"

Seokjin slumped on the edge of his bed as his head started hurting and tears escaped his eyes.

"You won't forget, right?!",a new small voice asked him before he whimpered and his vision went dark.
