✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*
the rhythmic thumping of the wall clock echoed in sync with taehyung's heartbeat, creating a symphony of sound that reverberated in his ears. the incessant ticking was as loud as the pounding of his own heart, and he yearned for it to come to a halt.
he pushed himself against the pillow that rested on the bed frame. terror filled eyes wandering left and right in case something happened- something would definitely happen.
taehyung looked down at the shirt that belonged to someone else- someone who was not human. his hands trembled and eyes bulged noticing the blood on the pale white shirt.
he let out a choked gasp before forcefully removing his shirt, not even taking the time to unbutton it. in a fit of pure terror, he tore it off from his body and threw it away. his gaze shifted downwards to check if there was any remaining trace of blood on his pants, but fortunately, there was none. taehyung pulled his knees towards his chest, embracing them tightly with his arms and shut his eyes, attempting to regain control over his emotions.
the images of the man, his fucked up face and the gaping hole in his chest kept flashing whenever he closed his eyes, urging him to open them just to close his eyes again to repeat the cycle. tears streamed down his face with each futile attempt in trying to get rid of that scene but it haunted his head, each fresh memory clear in his head.
taehyung cried uncontrollably as he buried his face between his knees, attempting to shut out the horrifying scenes. but no matter how hard he tried, he could still see jeongguk with his cold, yellow eyes, sharp fangs and blood-stained mouth, feasting on the heart of a once living human.
taehyung saw jeongguk murdering a human- jeongguk was a killer. a monster who devoured human blood in the most gruesome way.
and to think he agreed to be this very monster's toy- taehyung must have lost his mind. so what if jeongguk killed a human? what did he expect from a vampire? it didn't mean he would jump in the fire as well. he was fine for most times, why did he have to go and fuck it all up?
now he stayed on the bed, waiting for the monster to come and fuck him out of his senses who was currently having a relaxing bath after casually killing someone off and drinking their blood like a hyena. yeah, he must have lost his damn mind to offer himself like that.
however, if time was rewind maybe taehyung would have done it again. knowing while he was upstairs, someone down in the basement was having their heart ripped out of their chest just for a vampire to feast on their blood, seemed absolutely inhuman to taehyung- after all, he was a human. he still had emotions, rather very stupid emotions but he couldn't help it. there were no other options, were there?
trying to calm himself down for the last forty minutes which was an absolute fail, taehyung's heart stopped beating for a second by the sound of the bathroom door opening.
his doom was here.
taehyung, feeling a sense of fear and vulnerability, hunched over with his head down between his knees and his hands protectively encircling his body. he was desperately trying to make himself smaller as if by doing so he could escape the intense gaze of jeongguk who was now watching him with a predatory gaze.
"loosen up, doll." jeongguk's eyes shamelessly roamed around taehyung's body. "both mentally and physically." jeongguk couldn't help but let out a laugh at his own comment, his footsteps echoing around the room as he made his way to the other side of the bed. taehyung could feel his presence so close, knowing that he was probably standing just to his left, gazing down at him with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
his heart raced, beating even louder as he squeezed shut his eyes, feeling the bed beside him dip- jeongguk sat by the edge, peering at him from the side.
"show me your face"
jeongguk expected taehyung to put up a fight but to his surprise, the male instead raised his head slowly and met his gaze. jeongguk couldn't tear his eyes away from the fearful yet beautiful human. taking in the sight of his teary brown eyes, damp long eyelashes, rosy nose and lips and even a faint blush on his cheekbones from burying his face between his knees.
"well, aren't you so bloody pretty, doll?" jeongguk lifted his hand and ran his fingers along taehyung's cheekbone, causing a shiver to run down taehyung's spine as he felt himself involuntarily recoil but he fought against the urge to pull away.
after he offered himself to the demon, he couldn't back off from a mere touch.
as jeongguk observed taehyung closing his eyes and remaining still, a mischievous smirk formed on his lips. his gaze fixated on the exposed upper half of taehyung's body, watching intently as his finger leisurely and seductively traced a path down his neck, lightly grazing against the collarbone. in that moment, jeongguk could sense taehyung's body trembling.
"easy doll. i'm not gonna eat you alive" taehyung slowly opened his eyes and stared at jeongguk, his gaze telling how much of a lie it was. jeongguk can eat a human alive— both realistically and sexually so he wasn't fooling the human.
as if the vampire could read thoughts, he let out another chuckle and slowly tapped his fingers along taehyung's neck before wrapping his hand around the male's throat making taehyung gasp as his instinctive reaction was to place his trembling fingers over jeongguk's significantly larger hand.
his widened eyes were filled with fear and lips parted to allow for a desperate intake of breath, even though jeongguk wasn't even strangling him.
the vampire derived a twisted satisfaction from the sensation of his hand gripping that delicate neck, acutely aware that he possessed the ability to snap it at any given moment — should he so desire.
taehyung was just so powerless.
jeongguk angled his head, directing his gaze towards taehyung's face. he focused his eyes intensely, making a connection that seemed to penetrate deep into taehyung's being. with a gentle touch, he applied slight pressure on his throat, being careful not to cause any discomfort or pain.
"you offered yourself to me. i hope you remember that love" jeongguk gently caressed the skin on taehyung's neck with his two fingers, allowing the human to take in a breath as he loosened his grip.
despite never showing mercy for anyone, jeongguk found himself unexpectedly tender with taehyung. perhaps it was out of pity or maybe he simply didn't find amusement in seeing taehyung in pain— who knows.
taehyung nodded cautiously, feeling as if he had to tread carefully to avoid provoking the vampire. he was afraid that even the slightest hint of anger could set jeongguk off, leading him to unleash his monstrous instincts and feed on innocent humans. the mere idea sent shivers down taehyung's spine.
it's surprising how he hadn't lost consciousness or gone berserk insane from seeing all that horror in the basement or at least trying to escape from the nightmare that was in front of him. was this a form of losing his grip on reality? was taehyung in his right mind to give his body to the one who can shred it to pieces? the one who has done murders— perhaps hundreds of them. there must be something wrong in taehyung's head.
as jeongguk's hand moved from taehyung's throat down to his chest, taehyung couldn't help but gasp and shut his eyes, feeling the sensation of the vampire's touch. jeongguk's palm glided along taehyung's skin in a slow, sensual manner, pausing at his navel area before moving back up to explore his chest. wine red lips slightly parted as jeongguk concentrated on feeling up the human. he didn't know if it was because they were mates but even touching taehyung calmed his raging mind.
the sweet blood of a pumping heart is surely one of the greatest but perhaps, taehyung might just be better. it was bizarre, jeongguk has lived for a thousand years now but he couldn't recall any human ever impacting him in such a way. scratch that, jeongguk has never let a human who has seen his true form live another day. but here he was, feeling up a human's chest— feeling taehyung's heartbeat against his palm.
"so loud" jeongguk mumbled before he looked up at taehyung who fearfully looked at him.
"your heart is beating so fast, doll. is it out of fear or arousal?" seeing the dread in taehyung's eyes he shrugged, "must be the first one"
jeongguk then quickly glanced away before a mischievous gleam flashed in his eyes, which had now turned a normal deep shade of brown. without hesitation, he turned back to taehyung and grabbed his arms, pinning them firmly by his sides as he loomed over him. taehyung was taken aback, unable to utter a single word as he gazed up at jeongguk, who was fixated on him with a look of intense lust and a sly grin adorning his crimson lips.
"do you know what i'm about to do to you?" taehyung's throat dried, he couldn't swallow anything as his lips trembled and the corners of his eyes stung with tears again.
he didn't want to know or face whatever was about to come.
"i'm about to fuck you, kim taehyung." jeongguk's smirk dropped as he now blankly stared at the trembling human.
"my dick is going to penetrate your tight hole, that's called fucking. do you know that?"
taehyung just shivered. of course he knew that, it wasn't the first time they were going to do it. so why was jeongguk letting him know about it like that? that wasn't making him feel any better, instead it increased taehyung's fear. after all, he didn't want to do it.
"i asked do you know that?"
taehyung hesitantly nodded.
"if you do then what's making you scared, love? we have done this before"
jeongguk playfully pointed toward taehyung and then toward himself, tilting his head with a shy smile. his cheeks flushed slightly as he nervously nibbled on his bottom lip before drawing words out.
"you and me, we have fucked like wild animals, haven't we?"
despite being fully aware of the vampire's lack of shame or remorse, taehyung couldn't help but feel a strange attraction toward jeongguk. he should be disgusted but the way jeongguk looked at him, it was weird. moreover, his body seemed to betray his moral compass whenever the vampire was near, weakening under his touch and succumbing to lust. why it does, he had no idea.
"so why the hesitation now, love?" jeongguk leaned down, kissing the side of taehyung's neck and inhaling his scent.
"ah~" jeongguk let out a low moan as he nestled himself into the curve of taehyung's neck, their fingers intertwining as he breathed in the intoxicating scent emanating from taehyung which he assumed was happening because of their close proximity.
with his eyes shut tightly, taehyung let out a whimper. jeongguk's forceful sniffling and the rough pressure of his hands holding him down stirred something within taehyung's body, but the haunting images of the man's gruesome death lingered in his mind. the sight of that man's heart being mercilessly torn out, followed by jeongguk drinking the blood from its still-beating core— replayed over and over again in taehyung's head.
the overwhelming desire to break free and scream until his throat went raw consumed him, as he desperately wanted to escape this nightmare and never revisit it. all he wanted was to erase the memories of what he had witnessed and the person he had crossed paths with.
he wants to forget jeon jeongguk.
today was definitely a great day for jeongguk. not only did the vampire quench his painful thirst but he also had his mate pinned beneath him, all to himself. jeongguk couldn't contain his happiness, grinning against taehyung's skin as he rubbed his front against taehyung's, his bulging dick painful to keep in his pants at this point.
jeongguk bit down on his lower lip as he started humping taehyung. his nails grew in size and his eyes gradually transformed into a fiery shade of red. not only that but his entire body also began to expand.
f-fuck i just had blood but i'm already going into a rut? jeongguk wondered, amusingly.
slowly he untangled one of their hands and trailed it down, grabbing the hem of taehyung's pants, ready to pull it down but then,
he heard sobs.
jeongguk halted and slowly shifted back to hovering over the human. his eyebrows knitted together as he let out a sigh.
"you're crying?"
taehyung tried to cover his face, tried to stop the hot tears rolling down his face but he couldn't. he let out gut wrenching sobs, his body vibrating with each sob he let out. jeongguk's hands on both sides of the human's body clenched into fists as he stared down at taehyung's crying face. usually, it would stimulate him. even seeing taehyung cry would make his dick rock hard and right now he was going in a rut, so those tears shouldn't be a problem. except the case, they were.
unknowingly jeongguk raised one hand and placed it over taehyung's face, his thumb wiping tears that weren't stopping as he gazed at taehyung, unknowingly his eyes softening.
"d-dont... don't kill a-anyone please..." taehyung finally let out. each word coming out with much difficulty. after all, he was so scared and traumatized.
"i'll g-give you m-my body... j-just don't kill... i'm s-sorry i'm l-like this... g-give me a m-minute p-please" taehyung hiccuped, trying to wipe his tears and compose himself but it wasn't happening any sooner.
he was haunted by the image of the man's disfigured face, staring at him with desperate eyes that pleaded for help. the image of jeongguk's hand delved into the man's chest, ripping out his beating heart and savoring the taste of his blood, how the basement had become a gruesome pool of crimson— all of it was forever etched in taehyung's thoughts.
he found himself weeping and trembling, on the verge of losing his sanity, contemplating the idea of forcefully pushing jeongguk away and making a desperate try to escape. taehyung was fully aware of the foolishness of such an action, knowing that it would only result in his own demise, meeting the same fate as that human. however, the question lingered; how much longer could he hold it in? even jeongguk could now perceive the overwhelming terror reflected in taehyung's eyes, the fear permeating every fiber of his being.
seeing it all seemed to make the vampire upset. the sight of taehyung suffering shouldn't bother him but it did. and so jeongguk sighed, leaning down before
locking their lips together.
pause.
taehyung's entire body froze as he felt the soft lips against his own.
taehyung let out a quiet gasp, creating an opportunity for jeongguk to delicately slide his tongue into his mouth. with closed eyes, jeongguk kissed taehyung in a slow and gentle manner, unlike other times it was not rough and sloppy instead it was so gently done that it left a soothing effect on taehyung's body, causing him to relax.
it was absurd how taehyung experienced a profound sense of tranquility spreading throughout his entire body, causing his tears to gradually subside and his trembling to cease. he instinctively shut his eyes, resulting in more tears streaming down his face while he reciprocated the kiss with jeongguk.
their tongues intertwined in a passionate dance, emitting a fervent and intense heat. jeongguk furrowed his eyebrows in concentration as he tilted his sharp jaw, capturing taehyung's lower lip between his own and sensually sucking on it before delving his thick tongue back into taehyung's mouth.
their kiss was filled with an intense rare kind of tenderness, taking their time to savor each moment without any hurry — almost like lovers.
taehyung found himself gasping for air soon enough and just when he thought he couldn't take it anymore, jeongguk pulled away— their lips still connected by a thin trail of saliva. they both panted heavily, locking eyes with one another. taehyung's eyes were half lidded, barely keeping them open.
his sight was also blurry but he could tell one thing.
jeongguk was smiling.
"can't even kiss me properly but brave enough to offer your body to me"
jeongguk covered taehyung's eyes with his hand. "sleep, doll."
taehyung tripped into a deep slumber of sleep.
"you killed me!"
taehyung wanted to break free but he was chained to the chair. watching the man he saw getting brutally murdered just a while ago coming towards him with his own heart in his hand, still pumping with blood dripping down, the gaping hole in his chest.
drop.
drop.
drop.
the sound was deafening.
"i d-didn't!" taehyung shook his head aggressively, trying to break free but couldn't.
the dark basement seemed to enclose around him as the man slowly took each step towards him. his eyes shedding blood instead of tears and teeth being smashed to the point, barely any were there in his pitch black mouth.
"you didn't save me! you watched that vampire rip my heart out!"
"WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO? I WAS HELPLESS!" taehyung screamed out. the man now getting very near to him.
"you killed me!"
"I DIDN'T!"
"you killed me!"
"NO! I DIDN'T! I TOLD YOU I DIDN'T!"
the man stood right in front of him. the gaping hole in his chest, the blood streaming down from the heart in his hand, his messed up face, the walls enclosing around — dark, so dark.
"YOU KILLED ME!"
"NO!" taehyung let out a loud scream, desperately gasping for breath. his eyes popping open to meet the sight of the ceiling above him. as he gazed up, his widened eyes found relief in the strangely majestic— almost hauntingly beautiful design of the royal ceiling.
it was just a dream. a nightmare to be precise.
"that was a pretty loud scream" taehyung slowly turned his head to the side hearing jeongguk's voice.
but his eyes again widened, this time not out of fear but of what the vampire was doing.
jeongguk had his dick out again. his large hand wrapped around it.
jeongguk was masturbating right beside him on the bed.
as taehyung caught a glimpse of jeongguk's exposed and erect cock, he couldn't help but stare at it. noticing that taehyung was fixated on it, jeongguk briefly glanced down at his own boner before shifting his attention back to taehyung. with a mischievous grin, jeongguk leaned his cheek against his hand, which was resting on the soft pillow, staring at the man who was both terrified and flustered.
"it's bad manners to stare at someone's genital, doll"
jeongguk expected taehyung to glare at him or show a face of fear. but instead what the human did threw jeongguk off guard for the first time ever.
taehyung quickly rose to a sitting position before hovering on top of jeongguk, positioning his hands on either side of his partially reclined body. with a look of uncertainty in his eyes, taehyung gazed down at jeongguk.
jeongguk's eyes slightly widened as he watched the human try to speak.
taehyung gulped and licked his lips, the dream still so vivid in his head he got the chills.
"the k-kiss... it calmed me... w-why?"
jeongguk raised his eyebrows, totally not expecting that but soon let a small grin appear on his lips.
"i honestly had no plans to tell you the truth but perhaps it would be for the best" jeongguk gently took hold of taehyung's hips and began to grind his exposed cock against taehyung's ass since taehyung was straddling him. taehyung trembled, surprised to find that he didn't feel repulsed by the act. instead, a pleasurable sensation washed over his body, accompanied by a delightful scent that filled his senses.
"we are mates, kim taehyung"
"m-mates?"
"yes, mates. when we engage in sexual activities, we feel good, we feel alive"
"that's why the kiss felt so good that it made me forget everything else?"
jeongguk nodded with a smile.
"d-does that mean... if w-we have sex... i'll forget about that m-man?"
"of course my love. you won't remember anything but just me and my dick"
taehyung gulped, looking into jeongguk's mischievous eyes. it was stupid to believe the vampire but there was no doubt the kissing made him feel like a whole new person who hadn't seen anything.
taehyung felt alive kissing jeongguk.
"then please... this time really have sex with me"
"you're not gonna back away again? i have thin patience my love. i might actually not stop this time" jeongguk breathed out, sliding his hard long dick over taehyung's ass.
"don't, then. even if i tell you to, don't stop. just m-make me forget about it all, please"
jeongguk's intense gaze bore through taehyung's soul while a sly grin played on his tempting, wine-colored lips. closing the distance between them he leaned in, pressing a tender and lingering kiss on taehyung's soft lips.
the sensation sent shivers down taehyung's spine, tempting him to reciprocate but before he could fully surrender to the moment, jeongguk swiftly retreated, leaving taehyung yearning for more.
"feels good?"
"mhm" taehyung nodded dreamily, totally captivated by those red wine lips.
"then trust me, doll. you're about to love this so fucking much"
