Chapter Nineteen

Who are we anymore?

Sunny's POV

I drag Taehyung into the boy's bathroom ignoring the looks I was getting from the men around me. I was so upset at Taehyung for what he did, but I still needed to help him. I want to make sure he is okay, sometimes I wonder why I worry for him when he does such horrible things. I guess that's what love is, I love him. 

But it seems like everyday he is getting crazier, I don't understand what's going on, and he is being secretive. Last year I would've done everything to figure out what he is up to, but now I am tired. I just want to live a little normal for once. 

Taehyung walks up to the sink, looking at himself in the mirror in front of him for a while. Then, he looks down at his hands that were bloody and bruised. 

"Taehyung, what the hell was that about?" I lock the bathroom door giving us some privacy. 

He sighs heavily before turning on the faucet and wetting his hands, afraid to face my eyes, "Nothing," I widen my eyes approaching him. 

"So you're going to get in a physical fight with Jinhwan, and not tell me what it's about?" I waited for a response, however he didn't speak, "Taehyung! Are you really going to ignore me right now?" He rubs his hands with the soap that he just squirted. I straightened out my back, and folded my arms together. Of course he's not going to tell me, "You know the other day when I fed and got upset at you because you've been acting secretive?" He looks up at me through the mirror, "You still didn't give me an explanation for why you were acting that way, instead you kissed me to make it all feel better. And-and now you won't tell me about this? Is this what we are going to keep doing Taehyung," He finished washing his hands and turned off the water. Taehyung reaches for the paper towel and dries his hands turning around to face me, "Are you just going to kiss me again to make me forget about it?"

"I can't do this right now, Sunny," He sounded worn out. 

"It seems like we can never," I looked down at my shoes feeling a bit hopeless. This gave me the same feeling as when we first dated. How Taehyung didn't want me to care for him, he wanted his space and to be independent. It made us breakup...Is that what he wants now? Space? 

"I just..." 

"When is the right time Taehyung? Please tell me when we can discuss this?" 

"We keep discussing it!" Taehyung raises his voice frustrated, "It's always about the same thing,"

"So we are still on the topic of Jinhwan, great!" I turn around facing the door and place my fingers on my forehead, "Is that why you fought him?" 

"Why would you think I started the fight?" I scoffed before turning around quickly. 

"Is it that hard to guess? This man has done nothing to us, but you still have a problem with him! Why would he hurt you?" He looks at me intensely. 

"I don't have bad intentions Sunny,  you know that. Nothing I do is coming from a bad plac-"

"Then talk to me!" I walk up to him, "Talk to me Taehyung...Did you forget that I'm still here? I'm still the Sunny that went through hell and back for this relationship to be successful. I also fought for this Taehyung, so let me in." Placing my hands on his chest all I wanted to do was go back to last year. I misses the connection we had, because now it feels like its gone. 

Slowly Taehyung brings his hands over mine and I look him in his eyes, only for him to not look back, "Trust me Sunny, that's all I want from yo-" 

"Why are you making the decision? Why do you get to choose when to include me in your life as your girlfriend?" My hands quickly leave his chest upset at his response, and finally his eyes meet mine. 

"I don't want you to get hurt," 

"What is going on Taehyung!?" At this point I'm upset, I'm confused and a part of me just wants to walk out. 

"Nothing Sunny, it's nothing. I just want you to be careful with Jinhwan," 

"No! You don't get to trow me aside then control who I am around," Taehyung sighs. 

"Sunny-"

"Taehyung," We firmly call each others name starring intensely into each others eyes. We were both upset, both tired. The negative energy filled the room, before my eyes started to tear up. I felt it coming, the words from one of our mouths. That's it for us..."You want to breakup..." His eyebrows narrowed at me looking surprised form my words. 

"Sunny, don't ever say that," I looked hopelessly at him, "You are the love of my life," 

Taehyung's POV

As I said those words, apart of me wanted to give up. This was becoming too much to handle all alone. But if I tell Sunny what's going on there will be no more emotional connection from Jinhwan to stop her from killing him. That grief will be hard for her to take, it'll just make her feed more. I need to get her away from this situation not include her. 

I walk up to her and slowly take her hand, "Even if it's hard to believe right now, It's true. I love you and I need you to trust me," 

"Just talk to me Taehyung," Sunny whispers to me before a tear falls down her cheek. I wanted to spill everything to her, it hurts to keep it all in. 

I slowly shook my head, "I can't.." I let go of Sunny's hand and walk out the bathroom feeling my heart drop to the floor. 

After school ends, I take my time going home. I don't want to deal with Jinhwan right now, I don't want to come up with another plan with Namjoon, I just want to go home and hide in my emotions. I walk by a park and see someone familiar standing there starring at the view, it's Uni. I find my body walking towards her. 

I stand next to her looking at the view of the calming blue sky and the soft grass. I notice her looking up at me surprised to see me here, but I continue to look ahead of me. 

"What are you doing?" Uni chuckles looking back at the view. 

I softly smile, "I can ask you the same thing," She sighs heavily before responding. 

"Well...Namjoon got me caught up with the Jinhwan situation and now I'm worrying about Sunny. She's been off with me..." My smile fades away. I didn't want to talk about Sunny, it gave me too much pain and guilt. However I find the words come out of my mouth so easily when Uni spoke. 

"I think she's more upset with me," I look down at uni and she looks up at me and nods. 

"Yeah I think you win," She chuckles trying to bring some light into the conversation. 

"She officially knows we are all up to something, and is upset that the people she trusts more than anything is keeping it away from her," 

"And she knows its revolving her bestie..." I give Uni a disgusted look. 

"Ew, don't call him that...Only I approve of her friends, and I don't approve of him," She turns her body to face me. 

"Oh, so when did you approve of me? You've been nice" Uni folds her arms. 

I hesitate to respond, "Every time you help me with Sunny..." I turn my body to face her, "I gain a little respect for you." She softly smiles appreciating my words, "When she was kidnapped...and now when she is a vampire and trying to keep her safe once again," 

"Sunny is my best friend," Uni sighs, "She was there for me when my parents got divorced when I was eight. She helped me pack all my belongings to move in with my mom. When I was fifteen she came with me to get my permit cause she knew how nervous I get with tests, with her luck I passed. And when Im sad, she comes over no matter how late it is," I looked at Uni understanding her words, Sunny is that person for me too, "She's always there for me Tae, I need to be there for her as well," She stares into the view holding back her emotions trying to be strong. 

"I understand," I turn to the view as well, "Sunny means a lot to all of us, it just sucks that she can't know," 

"What will happen if we tell her?" Uni asks.

"I've noticed Jinhwan and Sunny have an emotional connection...probably gained it because I wasn't there for her. I think that connection is what's holding her back from hurting him. She cares for him, a lot. Maybe the fact that he's her scent has something to do with that, but once she finds out what type of person he is, she will have no reason to hold back anymore. Sunny won't be able to take the aftermath of that," 

"So she's suppose to be friends with a psychopath?" 

"If we figure out what Jinhwan is hiding, it could help us separate them. And with how it's looking, jail time would be perfect," Uni nods understanding. 

"Didn't you go a little crazy not being around your scent though?"

"That was only because I was so use to being around Sunny's scent. My body always needed it, but if we can separate them before it gets really bad, she will be fine," Uni nods again, "I-I don't want to talk about Sunny anymore though...it hurts," We silently continue to look at the view, it calmed our hearts and minds. It relaxed our wild thoughts. 

"Tae you're really strong," I look down at Uni but she was still looking ahead, "I wouldn't be able to do handle all you have been through, "She looks up at me, "I envy that of you," Uni smiles and playfully pokes me, I laugh as I hit her finger. 

"I'm glad you care..." I quietly speak looking at her.

"What?"

"Sunny-" Uni quickly interrupts. 

"I thought we weren't talking about her anymore," 

I pause trying to re-word my sentence without mentioning Sunny, "Even if you weren't being completely honestly with your boyfriend, wouldn't you care if they got hurt? " 

"What do you mean?" 

"Earlier after I fought with Jinhwan, Sunny assumed Jinhwan was innocent at first. Without asking me what he did to make me so angry, she got upset because I got angry. She's just so brainwashed by him," Uni sighs frustrated before moving to stand in front of me, oddly close. She places her hands on my arms and looks me In the eyes. 

"Sunny loves you Taehyung, she is confused and hurt, but she loves you. Got it?" I pouted as I nod, "Okay, now let's stop worrying about the situation for a little. Lets actually get our minds off of it," 

"Okay okay," I agree forcing a smile, "Are you hungry?" Uni nods quickly. 

"Lets buy some snacks," I agreed and we start to walk down the street. I normally am not close with Uni, but I felt a little better with her. I knew she understood how I felt, and she's also in a similar situation. We just got each other, its not bad that I don't hate Uni anymore...

"Uni that's it!" I laughed trying to pull her out of the candy store with the only hand I had left that wasn't filled with Uni's favorite snacks. 

She fought against my hand, "Hold on I'm trying to get this," As she pushes my hand away the items fall right out of my arm. 

"Yaaaah," I look down at the items that already took me so long hold properly. 

"Sorry-" I look at uni on her toes reaching for the pocky sticks that were too high for her height. I chuckled watching her struggle for a couple seconds, "Yah don't laugh! At least help me," Uni gives up stepping away from the shelf. 

"After dropping all of that?" Uni rolls her eyes and begins picking up the items. 

"I'll take care of this now you grab the strawberry pocky sticks," I look up at the item she was referring to and reach for it with my right hand. It took me some time to get a good grip since the strawberry flavor was on a higher shelf. Finally I grab it and lean down to Uni to give it to her, at that time she was beginning to stand up since she grabbed all the items she could fit in her hands. Our eyes meet intensely as we stop our bodies from getting any closer than we already were. It took Uni a couple seconds to back up, and it took me a couple seconds too. 

"I-um," Uni looks at the pocky sticks placed in my hands and takes them from me, "T-thank you," I finally stepped back and nodded at her. 

"Yeah...Can we check out now?" 

"Oh-yeah," Uni and I walk towards the register to rings up the items. After we leave the store we find a table outside the store and sit down beginning to eat the snacks we just purchased.

Jinhwan's POV

I enter my house upset, my face is bruised and sore from Taehyung. My mom quickly walks up to me and puts her hand over her mouth, "Jinhwan what happened? Are you okay?" I put my hand to the air and quickly walk up the stairs.

"Leave it alone!" I raise my voice before entering the bathroom taking a good look at my face. I was bleeding through my bandaids and cotton pads. Taehyung's punches felt almost like rocks being thrown at my face, very strong. A force I've never felt before. 

I slowly touched my face feelings the punches again and again, "Aish!" I snapped frustrated. 

"Jinhwan! Are you okay!?" My mom shouted with a shaky voice. 

"I'm fine damn it!" I responded back frustrated with her nosiness. I pasted back and forth in my bathroom. Taehyung is going over the line, he is bending backwards to find out about everything. How did he know I killed Kyung? Did Doen say something? I feel like I'm on the edge of being exposed, I can't I need to keep everything safe. 

Taehyung and I keep a friendly face towards each other so we won't suspect what the other person is doing, its been leading Taehyung to get so far and successfully find out things he shouldn't be knowing. God knows what else he is finding out now! I have to treat him like how I really want to, I'm done being nice. Taehyung is putting my life on the line, he doesn't deserve respect. He deserves payback, and it'll hurt like a bitch.
