Vampire In The City
FRIENDS

🐻🐰🐥

Jimin stretched his neck muscles while walking towards the canteen. He ignored the voices of the students he could hear. A group of women talking about k-dramas, some men were chatting about the difficulty of algebra quizzes.

Jimin ignored all of that. His stomach was hungry and he wanted to eat. As he reached the door of the canteen, he saw Jeon Jungkook from the opposite direction. Funnily enough, behind him Taehyung walked along.

Jimin gave a smirk. Hmm, looks like he'll know which table to eat at.

“Hoi~!!” call Jimin excitedly towards them while raising one hand.

Jungkook looked up, surprised to see Jimin. Taehyung who was behind Jungkook, leaned over and immediately smiled broadly at Jimin.

“You want to eat?” ask Jimin more to Taehyung. He ignored Jeon Jungkook's gaze.

Taehyung.

“It just so happens,” continued Jimin, “I'm hungry too.”

Jungkook threw his face away and walked first into the canteen. Taehyung quickly followed Jungkook back. Jimin held back a smile and decided to follow the two.

Jungkook sat at the usual table he sat at with Taehyung. He slammed as Jimin sat down with them, sitting next to Taehyung.

They took the food and went back to the table. Jungkook tried to eat with indifference, thinking as if he was eating alone there.

“Oh yes, I don't know yet, what are you majors?” ask Jimin. He knew Jungkook would ignore him, so he paid more attention to Taehyung.

“We are chemical majors,” Taehyung said. He chewed his mouth while chewing the rice.

“That's a fantastic major.” comments Jimin laughs softly.

Taehyung nodded in agreement. “Chem difficult lessons.”

“You only need chemistry to survive in that department.” Jimin rattled himself with a joke he made. Jungkook looked at Jimin skeptically, not impressed at all with the joke.

Jimin. “If Jungkook was smart in science.”

Taehyung. “I asked Jungkook Chingu a lot. She's good because she always helps me.”

Jimin raised his eyebrows. “Is that?” Jungkook who he knows sociopaths wants to care about others?

“She sits next to me.. asking for a term or a task, just a trivial question.” Jungkook said back to eating.

“If Jimin Chingu in what department?” ask Taehyung.

“I'm a civil engineering major, but interest is more interested in dance, hehe.”

“What does Jimin Chingu also like to fill out shows with dancing? Because your dance is so cool, Jimin Chingu.”

Jimin clicked amusedly because Taehyung repeatedly called him Jimin Chingu. It sounds funny to him, but he doesn't mind. “Yep. I'm in a dance club and we used to fill out events.”

“Wahhh I want to see it..”.

“Later if I perform at an event, I will tell you so that you can support me, Taehyung Chingu.” Jimin said in between his laughter.

Jungkook rolled his eyes, it looked as if Jimin was enjoying the moment.

“You finished college what time?” ask Jimin.

“Our class ends at 3 pm.” Taehyung said excitedly because Monday is always the day where they can go home sooner.

“Same w...” says Jimin gives eye smile, “How about we go to the arcade and play together?”

Taehyung immediately nodded enthusiastically. His eyes glared at Jimin. “I'm so happy! Jungkook Chingu is coming, right?” Taehyung turned to Jungkook expectantly.

Jungkook smelled his mouth. “Mian, I'm not interested.”

Jimin just rolled his eyes. Of course he knew Jungkook would say it.

Taehyung's face turned sullen. “If Jungkook Chingu does not come with me will not come.”

“EEhh?” Jimin dumbfounded, “Wae? Wae?”

Taehyung just looked at Jimin, lethargic. “My whole life I've never been to a game place.”

“Then what are you waiting for, you can go with me.”

Taehyung has lips. “But I also want Jungkook Chingu to come.”

Jungkook looked at Taehyung and Jimin alternately, especially now that Jimin looked at him with judgment, perhaps upset that Taehyung did not want to come because Jungkook did not come. Ughh.Jungkook so feel bad, and actually he also likes to play games in such a place.

“OK, okay, I'm coming, Kim, are you satisfied?” tukas Jungkook gave up with Taehyung's pout.

“Yeay~!!!” taehyung exclaimed with great joy. He and Jimin high five together. Shit, Jungkook feels like he's being played like this.

“Sore this we will have fun~~” muttered Jimin cheerfully and Jungkook just grunt.

Soojung watches Seokjin's explanation well. He does not dream or steal from other novels. He listened carefully, not going to embarrass himself like last week. Come to think of it Seokjin delivered the material very interestingly. Although the eyes of his lecture about History but the lecturer can package it with no monotony.

Soojung also heard the whispers of her classmates that Seokjin is very handsome and admire comments.

Soojung wonders, is there anything Seokjin knows about vampires that Soojung might be able to tell?

The course ended, there was an unwilling murmur here and there, why the lecture quickly ended. It feels if you study until night still willing the origin of Seokjin lecturer who explained it.

Soojung deliberately lingered in class, letting the other students out first. Soojung was thinking about how she could ask Seokjin about vampires.

What is unexpected is that it was Seokjin who came to him.

“Miss Soojung.”.

Soojung looked up surprised. “N-ne?”

Seokjin gave a smile. “See you followed my course today well, I appreciate it.”

Soojung nodded slowly.

“I hope you can finish the paper assignments well too, Miss Soojung.”

Before Seokjin turned around to leave, Soojung immediately said so. “A-anu, Mr. Kim... there is something I want to ask.”

“Well, what is it, Miss Soojung?” tanya Seokjin was quite happy because the woman wanted to ask him something.

“Do you know much about vampire?”

Seokjin did not expect that such a question would be raised. What he should answer. “I know maybe just a few things, why?”

Soojung sighed. “What you said last week is true. The book I read was a picisan book, just a joke, but I couldn't bear to not read it because I was so interested in vampire.”

“There are rarely people who are still interested in vampires. Vampires aren't much of a spot anymore, you know.”

“That's because I have bitter memories of vampires..” Soojung said.

Seokjin fell silent and looked at Soojung. You could say Seokjin knows what the bitter memories of the woman are but for now Seokjin chose clueless.

“We can talk to her while relaxing, Miss Soojung.. I might as well answer some of your curious questions about vampires? Well, even though I'm not sure what I know is hoax or not.”

Soojung smiled thinly. “Yep. I'll look forward to it, Mr. Kim.”

Seokjin gave a sweet smile. “Later I'll tell you. For now I have to go because I have class in a few minutes.”

“O-oh... Okay, Mr.Kim.” Soojung is polite.

Seokjin smiles again and finally turns to leave Soojung. The woman bit her lip looking at the departure of Seokjin who had already walked out through the door. He felt stupid..what has he done this!!! Is he even thought to be flirting? Does that look like flirting? Is that like the usual reason other students make when trying to ask Seokjin out?

Damn. It will certainly be awward once if it turns out the lecturer thinks so.

That afternoon Jimin, Jungkook and Taehyung went to a gaming arcade. The place was already full of students who were still wearing their uniforms. Taehyung looked around in amazement until his mouth opened. He had never played in an arcade. Being able to come to this place along with 2 human friends made him feel very special.

“Kutebak you never came to a place like this.” Jungkook comments after seeing Taehyung's expression.

Taehyung showed his boxed smile. “I've loved this place since I set foot here.”

“We will teach you~” said Jimin, “Jungkook-ssi, how about we show our abilities to Taehyung Chingu?”

Jungkook rolled his eyeballs. “Don't fuss when I beat you.”

“Huh, in your dream?” Jimin pointed to the game engine with Street Fighter writing, colors and striking images.

Jimin and Jungkook are ready in their respective positions. The fingers are already on the button, ready to fight each other in that game machine. Taehyung bites his lips, excited, he doesn't even know who to support.

While waiting for the game process, Jimin explained, “The left hand is ready with the movement button, the right button controls the attack. And remember, it should be focused.”

Taehyung nodded seriously, trying to remember Jimin's advice.

The game begins. Jeon Jungkook turned out to be quite good at this kind of game. He outscored because he kept attacking.

“You're still a real gamer, huh, Jeon?” jimin licked his lips, eyes stared at the screen, trying to fend off the attack that Jungkook kept giving.

“And you're still as cute as ever.” reply Jungkook gave smirk.

“Don't get cocky first, you're just being lucky.”

Jungkook gives a grin when a few minutes later the game is won by Jungkook. “See? This is how you should play, Taehyung.”

“Whoa, you guys are so cool. It was a fierce fight.” Taehyung said.

“Here, now you're the one playing with me.” said attractive Jimin Taehyung.

“But I can't yet..” Taehyung said a bit.

“It's okay. Learning it must be directly practiced.” said Jimin.

The game has started again. Jungkook tries to help Taehyung by telling him which buttons Taehyung should press. But still the gap in Jimin and Taehyung's abilities is quite far. Taehyung is playing a game like this for the first time. The game was easily won by Jimin.

“Yeay, I won!!” exclaim Jimin pleased. Taehyung just smiled innocently. Jungkook just turned the eyeballs, it seems Jimin deliberately chose Taehyung as his opponent in order to win easily?

Next, they try a car racing game. Taehyung was so happy that day. He tried many things that he had never tried before. Jimin was very passionate about teaching him. When Jimin and Jungkook compete together, it is always Jungkook who wins, it seems Jungkook is indeed a gamer since the first.

Jimin felt cornered because he had lost the score away from Jungkook in this shooting game. Jimin glanced next to him, looking at Jungkook who was playing with the henchmen full of triumphant smiles. Taehyung next to him cheered Jungkook who continuously did double kill.

Finally, with Jimin snatching a rifle, Jungkook's play tool made the man stunned. So Jimin held two rifles while laughing, trying to finish the game underhanded.

“Ya!!” Jungkook tries to take the rifle but somehow Jimin's power is so great, not letting Jungkook take it. Until the game ended, Jimin laughed.

“Jungkookie still wins!!” taehyung exclaimed as he pointed at the screen, trying to restore Jungkook's mood.

Jungkook glared at Jimin who was still laughing bitterly. Jungkook doesn't like to be disturbed when he's playing. And it looks like Jimin seems to have fun even though the man still loses the game even though he has played dirty?

Jimin returned Jungkook's gaze and gave a smile. “Don't be too serious, Jeon. Relax... Arcade for fun.”

“Hmm.” Taehyung nodded, “It's fun~ Jungkookie, let's play with me?”

Jungkook blew the bangs out loud while Jimin was still laughing. After giving the designation ‘Jungkook Chingu’ now Taehyung gives the designation ‘Jungkookie’ ??

Jungkook and Taehyung play pin ball. It's quite fun, Taehyung always laughs whenever Jungkook's ball manages to enter his defense. Taehyung is innocent, he plays for fun, no matter losing or winning.

Jungkook finally laughed that day. The score has reached 10 – 0 and Taehyung can still be cheerful so.

“You must not let your guard down,” said Jungkook, “Should be focused and full of energy. Like this.” Jungkook threw the ball and agilely moved the zig zag until it finally entered the goal.

“Whoa~” said Taehyung with smile box, “Can be like that?”

“That's easy...” said Jimin while shaking at Taehyung's innocence.

“Alright, focused and powerful.” Taehyung said. He pushed the pin ball, but either too powerful or how, the flat ball even hit Jungkook's wrist.

“Ack–“ said Jungkook trying to resist pain.

Jimin's eyes grew and he laughed out loud, laughing at Jungkook who was in pain. Jimin invites Taehyung to a five-high, proud that Taehyung can do it to a Jeon Jungkook.

Taehyung accepts the high five but grimaces at Jungkook. “Gwaenchana?”

Jungkook held onto his aching wrist and looked at Taehyung half-stretched.

“Eit, can't upset~!” say Jimin while pointing at Jungkook, “This is just a game, okay?”

Actually Jungkook did not intend to get angry, he knew Taehyung must have been unintentionally. Jungkook just didn't think Taehyung could throw a pin ball so strongly?

Taehyung bit his lips, felt guilty, it seemed like he used his vampire powers just now huh? He must be able to control his power.

After playing pin ball (which Jungkook of course won), Taehyung wants to try the claw machine, a casual game, does not require a lot of energy, just stay in control of the claws to take the doll. Taehyung is eager for Eevee's pokemon doll.

“You have to control the claw.” Jungkook said because Taehyung has twice failed.

Jimin shook his hands in the air. “It was a stupid game. Just luck if we get it.”

Taehyung had his mouth cut out, he was eager to get Eevee's doll.

“Minggir.” Jungkook tuk push Taehyung. “I'll try it.”

“Aish, I told you this is a scam machine, your money will only run out for a piece of cheap dolls?” tukas Jimin, “Come, my stomach is hungry~!”

Taehyung and Jungkook ignore Jimin. Taehyung's eyes grew bigger following Jungkook's claw.

“O! Jungkookie did well. Looks like it will work!”

The clawing device managed to hit the Eevee doll, lifting it slowly but in a second it just slipped away. Jungkook groaned in annoyance.

“What did I say?” comment Jimin.

Jungkook did not give up. He felt so challenged from this clamping machine. When he lost to dead things? Jebal.

Jungkook tried it four times but failed. He wiped a little sweat, trying to focus on finding a click with this machine. In the fifth experiment he finally managed to get the Eevee doll. Taehyung jumps up in excitement, while Jimin gawks because Jungkook managed to do it.

“I already know now how to play it..” muttered Jungkook satisfied.

“You want to play it again?” tanya Taehyung spirit, “I will pay for the coin.” Taehyung puts his money into the machine and Jungkook is happy to play it. He is serious about saying that he can play this game well because Jungkook managed to get a pokemon doll again, this time he managed to get a pikachu.

“Whoa.. kiyeowo~!!!” taehyung exclaimed as he picked up the pikachu doll that came out, bringing it into a hug along with Eevee. “How about one more, Jungkookie? We need 3 dolls.”

“Call.” says Jungkook. He raises his chin to Jimin, showing that this machine cannot trick or beat him.

Jimin only gulps at Jungkook playing back and lightly picks up Jolteon's doll. Taehyung cheered giran, taking the doll. He patted Jungkook on the shoulder with pride. He is increasingly convinced Jungkook is a true gamer.

“Nah, we have 3~” Taehyung said with a smile of his box, “Eevee for me. Pikachu for Jungkook.. Jolteon for Jimin~”.

Jungkook shakes his head, “I don't play dolls, Kim.”

Jimin snorted laughing. He received the doll Taehyung gave him. Funny doll too.

“This is the symbol of our friendship~” said Taehyung, “Come, accept this Pikachu, Jungkookie.”

Jimin looked at Taehyung meaningfully, not expecting to find a plain person like Taehyung. They've gone to college and still have to keep friends dolls like this? But Jimin won't mind, he'll keep this doll especially if it's a sign of their closeness.

“Ukh...” Jungkook complains a little but still accepts Pikachu dolls, looking at him with disinterest. He's not a Pokemon fan, for God's sake, but because Taehyung again he accepted it.

Taehyung's smile grew wider. “Well, now let's eat~!! I'll treat you!”

“Jinjja?” Jimin's eyes immediately sparkled.

“Let’s go~ We should eat well after a day of playing.”

“Yuhu!! I gladly accept it, Taehyung Chingu!” exclaim Jimin enthusiastically.

Jungkook held back a smile while shaking. Not bad also turned out to have interactions like this with some friends? At least Jungkook can refresh for a moment from the solid lecture.

That night the three of them ate grilled meat, hot pots and tteobokki. A very pleasant evening. It was the beginning of the closeness of the three of them. The walls that Jungkook used to build to keep his distance from others eventually collapsed. Jimin, who used to entrust himself to go everywhere himself, now feels comfortable with the presence of two other people in his life. Taehyung, the vampire, is very happy, because for the first time he feels he has made real friends.
