Predator | Taekook

Chapter 21

Chapter 21

●●●

When Jungkook woke up the next morning everything seemed normal at first. The pile of pillows next to his bed was empty, but that didn't mean much. Taehyung tended to sleep in Jungkook's bathtub more often than not.

It was only after Jungkook had checked all the rooms that he realized something was off. Taehyung wasn't anywhere to be seen.

Jungkook's tired mind finally started up as he racked his brain for a reason. Maybe Taehyung had gone for a swim... or maybe he had decided that he had seen enough of the human world. Part of Jungkook almost felt relieved at the thought.

Maybe all of this was over now.

But that little spark of hope quickly vanished into thin air when Jungkook checked his phone.

Jimin
Taehyung showed up here last night

Jimin
Thought you were probably going to wake up soon so it's probably best I tell you now

Jimin
He said you have a free day today

Jimin
But I'm supposed to warn you not to do anything stupid

Jimin
Also he told me about what happened yesterday and I thought I should tell you that he didn't mean to scare you

Jimin
He just wasn't thinking

Jimin
He has been trying really hard to make you more comfortable

Jimin
The fact that you may feel scared if he did that slipped his mind

Jimin
And yes he is not the most empathetic person if you might wonder

Jungkook stared at those messages. It had slipped his mind... he could feel the anger rising in his throat again, but the messages after that...

Jimin
But

Jimin
And I'm saying this without him knowing

Jimin
I know it's hard to believe but I think he likes you

Jimin
As far as him liking someone can go at least

Jimin
He is pretty... frustrated right now

Jimin
Because that wasn't his intention

Jimin
I know this is really scary for you because Taehyung is a siren and a really intense one at that

Jimin
But you're probably the only human he has ever accepted

Jimin
It's been a month and he kind of likes you

Jimin
I was trying to be optimistic, but this is going a lot better than I could have hoped for

Jimin
Please don't hold this slip up over his head

Jimin
Sorry for all the messages. Sirens can share their emotions and Taehyung's are affecting me strongly right now

Jimin
But I hope you'll give him a chance and continue your whole showing around thing

Jimin
And treat him the way you did before

Jungkook really wasn't sure how to feel. He wasn't sure what to believe anymore. Could he trust what Jimin was saying... could he hope that maybe this whole thing wasn't leading to his inevitable death?
