Taehyung sighed as he plopped on the couch, resting his head on the upholstery.
"By the way, your cake is still in the refrigerator, so if you want to eat it, you can or I'll throw it out in the morning" Taehyung spoke to Jungkook who entered after him.
"I told you to eat it" Jungkook said and Taehyung looked at him.
"Seriously? You want me to eat your birthday cake? I'm not that cruel" Taehyung said, turning his head back.
"Then throw it away in the morning" Jungkook spoke as he went upstairs, leaving Taehyung in utter amazement at how can a person be this harsh.
"Jerk" He huffed before pulling up the blanket over him, too tired to rant.

Taehyung grunted as he fluttered his eyes open.
"I should have eaten something before sleeping" He groaned as he heard his stomach rumble. He checked the clock to see the time; it was 3:15 am.
"I'll look for something in the kitchen" He said in a hoarse voice as he rubbed his belly and walked towards the kitchen.
He suddenly screamed when he saw someone in the kitchen, taking something out from the refrigerator.
"Jungkook! A murderer!" Taehyung screamed and the person flinched too. Taehyung immediately turned the lights on and widened his eyes when he saw who it was.
"Jungkook?!" Taehyung exclaimed.
"What are you doing?" Taehyung asked as he got in the kitchen. He stared at the Jungkook who was practically frozen. The cake in his hand.
Taehyung smirked in victory. "So..." He spoke, clearing his throat.
"What? I was going to throw it out" Jungkook spoke.
"Okay then, go on" Taehyung said as he took out some chocolate for himself to eat.
"I mean, I will after I eat some" Jungkook said as he walked out of the kitchen.
"Wait! I am hungry too, so after you cut it can we share? Please?" Taehyung said and Jungkook said nothing but took two plates and a knife to the dining table and Taehyung smiled before sitting down.
"It's kinda sad that you're cutting your birthday cake but not on your birthday" Taehyung said as he stared at Jungkook cutting the cake.
"Doesn't matter" Jungkook said, keeping a slice in his plate. Taehyung waited for him to keep one on his plate instead Jungkook started eating his making Taehyung open his mouth in shock.
"You're really a meanie" Taehyung huffed as he picked up the knife and cut himself a slice. They both ate in silence until Taehyung saw Jungkook serve himself the second time.
"I really have to walk on eggshells when I'm near you" Taehyung accidentally mumbled out making Jungkook look at him.
"You better since my brother has already warned you to stay away from me" Jungkook spoke as he shoved the cake in his mouth, making Taehyung flinch.
"You were listening to our conversation?" Taehyung asked but Jungkook ignored his question.
"But why don't you tell him to stop saying such things about you?" Taehyung asked.
"Because they're true" Jungkook said ever so monotonously.
"You confuse me, Jungkook" Taehyung said as he yawned, laying his head down on the table.
"I don't scare you?" Jungkook asked as he looked at Taehyung, taking another slice of the cake on his plate.
"No, in fact, you're pretty funny sometimes" Taehyung drowsily giggled.
"Excuse me? What the fuck did you just say?" Jungkook frowned.
"And this shit behavior of yours fucking pisses me off" Taehyung yawned as he calmly spoke.
"What?" Jungkook squinted his eyes as he looked at Taehyung, aggressively shoving the cake in his mouth.
"But...you're not so bad" Taehyung slowly spoke as he felt his eyelids getting heavy. He needs to wake up early tomorrow to prepare breakfast.
Jungkook didn't say anything as he stared at Taehyung who had eventually slept. This was the first time someone had said those words to him. Even if it wasn't a compliment, the words somehow made Jungkook feel comforted.
"I want you to stay away from me, Kim Taehyung" Jungkook sighed as he stared outside the window.
He stood up and kept the cake in the fridge then turned the lights off. He looked at Taehyung who was sleeping soundly. The moonlight shone upon Taehyung's silver hair, highlighting their beauty. His facial expressions were as calm as the silent ocean and his breath as slow and soft as the serene breeze flowing outside. Jungkook decided to leave him be and go upstairs but he just couldn't.
It wasn't because he felt attracted to Taehyung or he made his heart skip a beat. Nothing like that. He just felt this sudden need to take care of Taehyung.
He pulled the chair on which Taehyung was sitting and picked him up. He snaked one hand under Taehyung's neck to support it and the other under his legs. He walked towards the couch and gently placed Taehyung down.
He stared at Taehyung for a second before pulling the blanket over him then walked upstairs.
Jungkook sat on the chair kept in front of the window as he looked outside. The snow had started falling and the moon looked utterly beautiful. The two complemented each other perfectly but Jungkook always wonders why the snow never makes him feel happy. Maybe because he can only see himself stepping over his mother's and that child's blood whenever he walks over it. He wants to leave the past behind him but the snow, the monster within him never lets him.
He wants to be happy, he wants to enjoy the snow, fighting with his pack members in it. He wants to enjoy spring like everyone else. He wants to love someone, he wants to do things that normal wolves do. But he doesn't see that happening anytime soon.
He sighed as he stood up and lied down on his bed, closing his eyes. Ready for the nightmares to invade, and soon he fell into a deep sleep.

"Ah. I see, you've made yourself a friend, Jungkook" The monster's voice echoed as the poor wolf flinched with terror.
"He's not my friend!" The wolf shouted as he looked everywhere to find the source of the voice.
"What do you say? What should we do with him? Rip his head off like your mother's or give him a new punishment?" The monster laughed while the wolf trembled with fear.
"He has got nothing to do with me! He's just a nobody!" The wolf yelled trying to convince the monster but it was of no use.
"Don't try to fool me, Jungkook. You want to know him better don't you?!" The monster thundered.
The wolf's eyes widened with horror when he saw Taehyung standing in front of him.
"I know you want to be close to him, Jungkook. Why wouldn't I know? Since I am you" The mirror was yet again in front of him, his reflection smirking evilly at him.
"But we're done playing with this toy already" His reflection spoke before pouncing over Taehyung.
"Taehyung!!" Jungkook screamed as he bolted up, panting heavily.
"What?!" Taehyung yelled from the kitchen in the middle of making breakfast.
"I swear to god, this bitch is getting on my nerves" Taehyung huffed.
