Predator | Taekook

Chapter 21

That he'd get out of this alive and Taehyung wasn't going to drown him after all... maybe even by accident if the fact that Jungkook had to breathe ever slipped his mind again.

But the fact that Taehyung actually kind of liked him came with somewhat of a shock. While Jungkook had gotten the feeling that maybe Taehyung didn't hate him as much as he hated other humans, he certainly wouldn't have thought Taehyung kind of liked him.

He wasn't sure what to do with that piece of information.

Jungkook
I will still show him around because it's not like I have much of a choice

Jungkook
The other stuff... I'll think about it

Jungkook
I know you are a siren too so this isn't familiar to you

Jungkook
But I'm terrified of him

Jungkook
I can never know when he'll snap again

Jungkook
And even something like this

Jungkook
I feel better knowing he didn't mean to threaten me again

Jungkook
But he almost killed me before by drowning me

Jungkook
What if he accidentally kills me, just because he isn't careful?

Jungkook
This shit is scary

Jungkook
I never know what to expect because he won't talk

Jungkook
And we have no means to communicate apart from you, who lives an hour away

Jungkook
This is a shitshow I wouldn't even be part of if my line wasn't on the line

Jungkook knew it probably wasn't a good idea to get angry at the siren that was actually kind of nice to him, but he was so frustrated with all of this. He just wanted a break. See his normal friends again without worrying about Taehyung following him around.

He hadn't met Eunji for a month because the thought of having her and the siren meet scared him. Just the possibility of putting her in that danger.

This last month he had spent just trying to avoid anyone he really cared about, for their own safety, coming up with the stupidest excuses. His parents kept sending passive aggressive messages about them eventually forgetting about Jungkook's existence since they hadn't seen him for this long.

The few people around uni he knew were asking him whether they had done something wrong and Eunji was clearly annoyed but tolerated his weird behavior because they were friends.

His phone vibrated in his hand and when he looked at the message it was once again Jimin.

Jimin
I know this is hard and frustrating

Jimin
But Taehyung really is trying

Jimin
It's not easy for him because it's not his nature to act human

Jimin
I know I seem somewhat normal for the most part, but in my and Taehyung's case I'm the weird one

Jimin
He is normal for a siren

Jimin
So the fact that he somewhat respects you is a huge step

Jimin
If he can do that anything is possible
