Living in the castle wasn't as bad as Taehyung thought. He eats well. Namjoon showed him the big library there while Hyeyoon often asked him about minor issues. Taehyung doesn't mind. The girl reminded him of his best friend.

Jeongguk's parents somehow started to get a little closer to him. Even Jeongguk's father often reminded him not to miss recess. Jeongguk's mom often took him to the park just to water or trim the stems of the plants there. A job he might never have done as Alpha— But Taehyung liked him.

Jeongguk?

For almost a month this vampire has been taking care of him. Taehyung was not surprised when in the morning he found Jeongguk sitting just stroking his tummy which had started to bulge. It's not even two months and the womb is almost the same as five months old. Although at first it was very uncomfortable but Taehyung tried to accept it.

Seeing how Jeongguk seemed to be holding the child in his stomach— Taehyung unconsciously became curious little by little.

Today Taehyung woke up early. When she finished washing her face and brushing her teeth, she took a clean towel.

Not until he finished drying his face, then the bathroom was opened. Jeongguk is standing there.

"Just because this is your house doesn't mean you can go into the bathroom without asking." Taehyung hissed.

One he missed. Jeongguk starts to act as if they are a couple who have been together for a long time. Hell, if it weren't for his kindness Taehyung would have kicked the vampire.

He could see how Jeongguk shrugged indifferently.

"Let me hug my son this morning."

And only for that reason Taehyung had to let his body be grabbed from behind. He didn't even protest anymore when the cold palm exposed his shirt to be able to touch his skin directly.

"Why did you wake up so early?" Jeongguk whispered.

Taehyung shook his head. "I just woke up. Are you going to keep hugging me here?"

"I hugged my son."

Taehyung chuckled. "Let go, I want to find a snack."

"I doubt your parents will know you when you get home— Look at your cheeks are so full."

Taehyung growled. "Whose fault do you think this is ?! If you want to offend my appearance now better get out. You're making me in a bad mood." Taehyung tried to remove Jeongguk's hand. But the vampire chuckled.

"I just wanted to say that the fuller it was— The more I wanted to kiss her."

Taehyung was silent. "What are you?"

His body is reversed. Staring at Jeongguk's figure who looked at him so eagerly.

"I want to kiss him. Can I kiss your cheek?"

All this time Taehyung felt safe because the vampire managed to keep his promise not to mess around.

Then why are you suddenly like this?

"All this time I was just holding back Taehyung. You don't know how much you tested my patience."

Taehyung felt his left cheek cupped. Jeongguk's touch is so cool.

"Tell me, are you angry if I kiss your cheek now."

Jeongguk's deep voice stunned Taehyung. His heart was pounding again.

"Of course-"

But he didn't even move away when Jeongguk's face got closer.

One deep kiss on his right cheek.

Taehyung closed his eyes. What's wrong with him? Why didn't he yank Jeongguk away?

Even when the vampire had turned his face away with red irises that were getting shining happier— Taehyung was still silent.

Alpha's gaze fell on Jeongguk's lips. Lips that once stuffed her mouth so wet.

"Why is my chest pounding just seeing your lips?" Taehyung found himself muttering just like that.

But then he gasped. Be aware of his words. "I mean—" Taehyung's words stopped. Jeongguk's thumb rubbed his lower lip. The vampire's gaze darkened.

"Taehyung—"

The Alpha swallowed hard. The more Jeongguk's breath blew his face — The more Taehyung's chest rumbled.

"—Are you starting to like me?"

Taehyung froze. Did he hear wrong?

"How could it be." Taehyung muttered. But Jeongguk snorted. His arms were pulled smooth.

"Let me prove it then."

Taehyung's consciousness returned. He glared. "If you mess around I'll rip your face—"

Taehyung's sentence stopped. Jeongguk made him sit on the bed. Before slowly the vampire's hands pushed his shoulders until Taehyung lay down. Jeongguk supports it. The aroma was so addictive it filled Taehyung's sense of smell.

"We'll see if your heart will beat harder or not."

Taehyung hasn't even finished sighing when Jeongguk's lips kissed his blade. Taehyung's breath stopped. Both hands pinched the vampire's arm.

As soon as Jeongguk's lips parted and chewed his lower lip slowly, Taehyung was breathing again. The net closed. Unconsciously opened his mouth when Jeongguk's tongue gritted his teeth.

The Alpha moaned. Jeongguk's tongue twisted gently. Makes Taehyung look up occasionally just to move his lips away, but only ends up with his ripe being crushed again.

When Jeongguk moved his lips away— Taehyung's breath was racing. Tried to open his eyes and found Jeongguk smiling.

"You're enjoying it. Your heart is beating so boisterously. You really like me, am I wrong?"

Taehyung glared. "Just because my heart is noisy doesn't mean I like you. I could just like the way you kiss." Taehyung hissed.

"Fine. At least you said you liked my kiss— That way I'll kiss me more often." Jeongguk said.

Taehyung received a kiss back again. He kicked the vampire's leg. Tried to get up slowly until I ended up sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Jeongguk!"

But Jeongguk chuckled. Taehyung almost hit him before the movement of the vampire kneeling in front of him made Taehyung speechless.

"Sorry to kiss you. But I'm not sorry. I really enjoyed it. I would be very happy if from now on you let me touch your lips or face again."

Taehyung looked away. "Are you seducing me? Get up. Stop kneeling, I'm not a woman."

"But you are the mother and father of my child. Regardless later we will be separated, I never joked when I said I fell in love from the first time I saw you Taehyung."

Taehyung bit his lip. He felt like his chest would burst if Jeongguk didn't stop. The vampire is really crazy.

"Get up. Or I'll kick you in the face." Taehyung stuck to Jeongguk.

But the vampire was still silent.

Taehyung groaned. "Fine, whatever. It's up to you. Don't ever do something ridiculous like that again, motherfucker."

Who would have thought— As soon as Jeongguk got up, Taehyung found his chin lifted. One kiss fell on his forehead.

"Thank you-"

Jeongguk smirked. "—But you shouldn't blame me if you look so charming when you swear, Taehyung."Damn Jeongguk.
