Chapter Text
They were best friends when they were both human. Did everything together,ever since they were small. But Jimin, he started drifting away when they where around 16 . He started to drink a lot and would didn't want to go be a doctor or whatever his unloving parents wanted him to do. He would sell himself for money because he just wanted to feel anything, everything. He pushed Tae away because he had a future ahead of him and Jimin didn't want to hold him back. But tae loved his best friend more than anyone in this world and it pained him to see Jimin wasting his life away. Tae just wanted to know why he was acting this way. Where he going at ungodly hours and why was he not leaving the house during the day to attend school. He just wanted to help his Jiminie. So one night Taehyung followed him. But he was too late to help .. Jimin had already been turned the night before by one of his regular customers, left limp in an ally way presumed to be dead. He is now on the hunt for anything that will make the burning in his throat go away. His eyes blood shot, balance completely off, he can't even remember him own name at the moment. The only thing that matters is the smell the drifts through the air from before him. Blood .He attacked the person without a second glance. He felt full, felt..good.. That was until the sun came up and jimin lifts his head from the puddle of blood he's been licking at for hours. He's content until he realized he the person he just murdered was his best friend ,the one he fell for. His best friend who had a bright future ahead of him. His Taehyung...
Jimin didn't stop crying. Couldn't stop .He was always crying. He couldn't forgive himself ever. He felt like becoming a vampire was a premeditated punishment for murdering him best friend because now he has to live knowing that for the rest of his long life. It wasn't until after the funeral Jimin started to dream about Tae every night . Started to see glimpses of him In random places, hear his voice.. How can he do this for an eternity?? Why him?? Why Tae??? That is until one day he felt a hand on his face wiping his tears right before sleep took him. He jolted awake looking into taes eyes.
Silence.
They're was nothing but silence and Jimins wide eyes filled with shock until Taes low deep voice echoed through the room
" I know you .. I don't know how but ..I just know I do.. Do u know who I am? "
What is Jimin meant to do?? Tell him 'yes. You are my best friend but I accidentally killed u because I didn't know how to control myself ' ?? No! He can't! Tae would never forgive him. Ever.. Right? He knows that ghost exist, he just didn't know much about how they came to be. Although he can put two and two together and figure it has to do with the tragic way Tae died ...no ,the tragic way he was killed. But he knew for certain that ghost dont remember their past lives...
" No I don't know you but .. I've seen you before.. "
Jimin gets up from the bed and looks underneath it. He pulls out a box of all the things he remembered Taehyung by. From the box he picks out a picture of Tae ( Jimins favorite) and hands it to him.
" I -I found this when I first moved in.. I uh think you might have lived here.. "
Tae takes the photo studying his own face before flipping it around reading the words written on the back out loud in a low voice.
"My Taehyung is so handsome.. I love you! "
A tear falls from Jimins eye but he wipes his face dry before Tae has the chance to look up.
" So my name..is Taehyung.. I wonder who loved me."
he says with a chuckle and a smile but it soon falters and he begins to cry.
" I - why, what happened??! "
He's crying so hard . His body shakes like he's in pain. Jimin watches him cry and feels his cheeks getting wet with his own tears because Jimin knew this sadness. The sadness that is so strong it physically hurts. He's felt it every second of every day since Taes death. Jimins head snaps up when he sees the photo fall to the ground and Tae starts to fade away.
He scrambles forward and hooks himself arms around Taehyung before he's gone again. Because Jimin doesn't know if this will be the last time he gets to hold him. He feels Tae bring his arms up around his waist and his head against his shoulder but the feeling of Taes body soon goes away.
When Jimin opens his eyes tae is still there though. Transparent, but still there with a slight smile tugging at his lips.
" Why did you hug me..? " Tae says now fully smiling.
Jimin smiles back even though there are still tears streaming down his and Taes face.
" You were sad I felt like u needed it.. I kinda needed it too.. "
Tae nods looking down with a small giggle
" Oh what's ur name by the way? "
Tae looks at him longingly with those sharp eyes that Jimin misses everyday and oh my god..
He loves Tae so much he wants to scream.
" It's Jimin "
He finally says with a sad smile
After that night Jimin packed up and left town as soon as he could. They left at midnight. Jimin told Tae it was because he couldn't be out In the sun for too long and while that was partially true the real reason was because he didn't want Taes family to recognize him and ask where him and his best friend since childhood , Jimin, where heading off to. Of course Tae tags along with no other questions asked. Jimin was all he had now. Jimin felt like home. Jimin felt like the only one in this world he could trust.
