An empty silence filled the shadowed room. Jungkooks presence became unknown. If Taehyung didn't have his superior senses he would've thought the boy had disappeared. With the silence the vampire was left to assume Jungkook had other opinons. He decided to speak up.

"Will you?" The vampire asks. He grows concerned with every second that Jungkook doesn't answer. This should be an easy option! Didn't the younger want to leave with him just days ago to get away from courtings?! "Jungkook, I need you by my side." He practically begs. "Don't make me chose between you and my kingdom!"

Jungkook turns to him. His eyes beginning to water. "I-i can't..."

"Wh-"

"You're doing exactly what you don't want me to do! You're making me chose between my kingdom and you!" Jungkook shouts.

Everything was so sudden. What did the vampire expect? Him to just shout "hurray!" While riding off on a horse in the sunset? This wasn't some love story. He had a kingdom to take care of, the boy was a king as well! He had his own duties but, Taehyung just wants him to drop everything and leave. For vampires?

"What kingdom Jungkook?! What exactly are you taking care of?!! I'd like to know!" The vampire shouts back. He turns away momentarily to think but, he's back glaring at Jungkook in an instant. "ARRGGGHHH!!" He roars, his fingers snag dangerously tight to his own scalp, pulling and pulling.

"Tae-

"Why can't you see what you do to me?! Why can't you see that I need you?! I want you to come with me Jungkook!" Taehyungs screaming, shouting somehow no longer able to keep composure.

Jungkook had never seen him this angry before. The boy couldn't tell if it was even anger at all. The man looked to feel many emotions at once and they all twisted his screw loose.

"I'm part of the reason that those vampires are being hunted down. I'm a vampire hunters son! They'll kill me first chance they get!!"

"Why won't you trust me? After everything, why can't you see that I will protect you no matter what? I would do anything to keep you safe!" Taehyung comes closer to the King, trying desperately to persuade him. He never thought it would be this hard. He didn't know his heart would hurt this bad from the kings repetitive rejection.

"I'm trying to see your way Taehyung and it doesn't work. Who would even support such a thing? Wouldn't your people hate you? Turn on you? How can I trust that when we get there you won't turn on me?"

Taehyung stares for a moment. His eyes are wide. "SERIOUSLY?!!" He hops up to his feet in a quick jerking motion. His chest puffing and ears practically steaming. "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!!"

The king gasps and moves slowly away from the other. "N-no...I just think things and.."

"And, what?!! Huh?!" The vampire scoffs and gives the boy the outermost chilling glare. "You're fucking selfish."

"What? I'm selfish?! Me?!!" Jungkook screams back. His voice cracks layered with humor in his tone.

"I've done everything for you. I've kept you safe! I've done everything that you ask of me and more!" Taehyung snaps while stomping over to the King. "I never ask for anything! I do what you ask of me without fail! Without question, because of our deal! Because I want to!! The one time. ONE TIME! I ask for anything!! You turn your back on me. So yes, you're selfish!"

Jungkook eyes water.

"That's not fair! You always ask of me things that I can not give!! I'm HUMAN!! HUMAN TAEHYUNG!!" He's screaming and sobbing at this point. He bangs at the mans chest. "For someone like you, someone who has no worries. No second thoughts. Strength. Powers. Something as simple as keeping a few petty thieves away is nothing for you!!! What do you expect of me? What can I give, that you can't obtain on your own? What am I worth an amount to you? I'm NOTHING!!!" The boy let's out his frustration in tears. All his pent up thoughts sitting at the tip of his brain for a long time.

"Baby please!!" Taehyung whines and begs with all his might. His voice strains while holding Jungkook close. "You're my everything..." He almost whimpers. "I need you by my side. I can't stand the thought of being away from you. It's not just the mark, I want you only. I need you baby...I need you!"

Jungkook is overwhelmed. He starts to hyperventilate, his head becomes dizzy. It's too much. "Wh..what?..." mark?..

"Bunny..."

"Why do you care for me so much? Why would a vampire like you, A king, care for someone like me? Why do you say you feel what I feel as if you're connected to me?!! Why do you look at me like you see deeper than what I am?!! What is keeping you so attached to me, that is holding you back from saving your people?!!! WHAT?! TELL ME!!"

"I MARKED YOU!! Alright?!" The vampire finally reveals. He screams it loud enough for his veins to show in his throat. "I marked you."

"What?" Jungkook asks softly in disbelief.

"It was for you. At first I thought I just wanted to have you for myself because I was greedy and you were a challenge. I wanted info. I wanted to save my people but-"

"I knew it...I knew it...I knew it...I knew it...I knew it.." The boy chants to himself shaking his head. He whimpers and cries.

"But-"

"You never loved me!! It was all a fucking game!!" Jungkook sobs.

"No! I do! I love you! I do! I admit it!!Believe me!" Taehyung begs.

"No go away!! I hate you! I don't love you!! I could never love a monster!" Jungkook shouts. He gasps and quickly covers his mouth. Had he meant to say such a thing? Why was he feeling guilty all of a sudden? "Tae..."

The vampire stops. He nods in anger and understanding. Then turns to leave.

Jungkook panics.

He hops up quicker than he can think to run and catch Taehyung although the other was completely faster. "No! No! Nono! Wait stop!" He tugs on Taehyungs sleeve and tries to pull him back with his arms now around the vamps waist. His love for Taehyung was physically and emotionally demanding to extremes. "Stop please! Please?...please...don't...please."

Taehyung ignores him but, stops anyway.

"I'm sorry. I just don't want to fight. Okay? I didn't mean it I swear! Just don't leave me." Jungkooks the one who begs now. "I'll come to a decision by morning, I swear!"

The vampire gives up with a deep sigh. His anger slowly devouring. "For the first time in my life Jungkook, I don't have forever to wait."

"I'll come to a decision-"

"I'm sorry baby..." The vampire hushes. "Sleep." He whispers, his fingers gently stride over Jungkooks eyelids. His eyes glowing bright purple. They lured Jungkook into a deep sleep. He had to do this. He had to.

"N..no...d..o..n....lea..ve..me.." Jungkook whimpers in his overwhelming tiredness that washes over him. He tried pitifully to stay awake. For, he knew if he closed his eyes he would awaken to no one by his side.

"Sleep baby...sleep."
