Vampire In The City
Set Me Free (special chapter - Halloween)

Kooks…

Kookies…

Jungkook groaned slowly because he was still very sleepy. Her body feels very comfortable and warm. Slowly Jungkook opened his eyes and saw Taehyung smiling brightly at him giving a boxy smile.

Jungkook felt his eyes glare from the sunlight. His body was very comfortable because he was lying on a hammock. He looked around, apparently they were on the beach. Jungkook's heart felt relieved, this was a comfortable atmosphere with no fear and anxiety at all.

“How long have I been sleeping?” ask Jungkook while rubbing his eyes.

“After a time.” replied Taehyung half laughed.

Jungkook's eyes sparkled to see Taehyung in a state of full, healthy and his face was so bright. Jungkook got up out of his hammock and smiled broadly at Taehyung. The vampire was wearing a beach shirt and shorts. The first sight Jungkook saw in himself V. But it's funny, Sangar now looks like a normal person.

“You are cool to sleep while I have to tidy up your things in the villa.” Taehyung said.

“You're a vampire with more energy than me.”

Taehyung twirled the eyeballs. “I'm bored for the same reason, Jeon.”

Jungkook pokes and embraces Taehyung's shoulder. “So...why did you wake up, Tae?”

“The hyungs have been waiting for you since,” said Taehyung, “Peace they are waiting for you who continue to sleep and do not remember around.”

Jungkook. “What's wrong with just taking a nap?”

Taehyung fell silent, his expression turning mute. He grimaces at Jungkook. “But you slept too long, Jungkook. Time to wake up.”

Jungkook raised his eyebrows, not understanding the expression his soulmate gave him.

Taehyung immediately smiled showing his eye smile and neat rows of teeth. “There's nothing you need to worry about. Now you must move back to normal.”

Jungkook was confused by the words, Taehyung pushed his back from behind, telling him to walk towards the hyungs who had been waiting since.

“Oi, Kook~” Hoseok waving. He is joined by Seokjin, Soojung, Namjoon, Yoon and Jimin. They waved in the distance telling Jungkook to come closer immediately.

Jungkook finally complied and walked towards them. He looked back to see Taehyung but the vampire was not there, suddenly disappearing. Jungkook quickly turned around and looked around, suddenly panicking from not seeing Taehyung again.

“Tae?” Jungkook's eyes are patterned, unable to accept because Taehyung just disappeared from the sight of his eyes.

“Jungkook~!!” call Jimin in the distance while waving his hand.

“Jungkook-ah, here~” call Soojung, her brother.

Jungkook is very confused. What the hell is going on? Where's Taehyung? They're on vacation, right? Why did the vampire suddenly disappear like magic?

Jungkook's head is very sick. He was in pain while holding his head. And the scene suddenly changed, which was the atmosphere of the beach now he was in a very dark forest. The forest that makes the sun invisible because it is so high and lush trees there.

Jungkook's breath was choked, shocked by the change in atmosphere. He heard laughter coming from behind the tree.

“Tae?” tanyanya. Although he knew the sound of laughter was not Taehyung's voice at all. The evil laughter belongs to the person he hates.

Jungkook twisted his body as he heard the sound of bushes. At first glance he saw the shadow of Taehyung's body that shot behind the trees.

“Tae!” call Jungkook and rush to the trees but find nothing. And the longer this forest gets darker. Jungkook won't see anything here. It's so creepy, what's his soulmate doing in a place like this?

“Jungkook..”.

There was a small whisper behind him. Jungkook immediately turned the body. Tears were already unstoppable when he saw Taehyung standing there. Next to his eyes was white like a ghost, his clothes were white but filled with blood stains, there was also a blue scar here and there.

“Oh God... Tae...” isak Jungkook because he saw the condition of his soulmate. It must be the syndicate that did it. Jungkook's heart ached so much seeing how one could experience such a thing in this world.

“I don't want to be here.” Taehyung said. His face turned very painful and tears flowed. “A-I don't want..”

“Tae... I'll take you out of here.” Jungkook cried but he could not move his body to approach the vampire.

Jungkook knows that while Taehyung surrendered himself to the syndicate in order to free and not harm the others, Taehyung never wanted to return to the syndicate. It will only add to the hurt and suffering. Jungkook knew that all Taehyung wanted was to return to the clan.

“No... Release! Let go of me!” taehyung's cry broke into tears as his body was pulled by two people whose faces were not visible at all. They force Taehyung to leave from there leaving Jungkook.

“I don't want to!”

“Andwae!!” isak Jungkook is hysterical but can't do anything to see the vampire taken away. “Andwae!!”

The man was crying. His left chest is very painful. If this is a dream why does he feel this sick? Jungkook covered his face with both hands, crying sobbing. He hated the syndicate so much that he hated the people who had taken Taehyung.

Jungkook promised.with this hand he would destroy the syndicate.

****

Seokjin decided for them to move residence for a while now. Syndicates cannot be underestimated. Lest they would return to hold the others hostage or even capture clan members. So Seokjin bought a house in the plantation area, away from the hustle and bustle of Seoul, about 1.5 hours drive from the previous house. This was in anticipation that the syndicate would not track them down again. Seokjin quickly made up her mind a day after seeing Jungkook return in a very appalling condition.

Jimin's mother has been asked for some time to live abroad, to relatives' homes, to escape the chaos of the syndicate's chaos. While Jimin remained in Seoul, he stayed with the Kim clan. Jimin's mother has been given an understanding and explanation of what happened, fortunately the woman wants to understand.

Jungkook is still unconscious. His shoulders have been sewn and other injuries have been tried to treat Yoon-gi but the man is still too weak and unconscious. Jungkook and Soojung are taken to the new Kim clan residence. Soojung had to make excuses to his uncle that Soojung and Jungkook had to live in a boarding house near campus to ease their college assignments because they were getting older.

So in the new house now gather Seokjin, Soojung, Yoongi, Namjoon, Hoseok, Jimin and Jungkook. The house is quite large consisting of 3 floors, many rooms that can be occupied.

It's been almost a week and Jungkook is still unconscious. Although he has gone through a critical period, Soojung is still worried about her sister. He could not imagine what Jungkook had experienced in the syndicate until like this. The woman couldn't stand it when she heard Yoon-gi say that Jungkook's ribs had been broken.

For a while there was nothing they could do to find Taehyung. The location of the syndicate headquarters is not yet known. The vampire council has been checking into all areas of South Korea and has found no sign of the locations of the vampire captivity being exploited.

Miris indeed because of how the Kim clan has not managed to save one member of their clan. But that doesn't mean Seokjin as Alpha doesn't do anything. He will be looking for his clan members. And when there's a chance to destroy the syndicate, he'll do it.

***

Donghyuk was in the meeting room with the board team talking about endless budgets and planning. The man just sat down with a blank look. Actually his mentality is still shaken how the fact of the death of his brother and sister-in-law is the result of syndicate actions. Donghyuk did not know what to do after knowing this fact.

He has always hated vampires and devoted himself wholeheartedly to work and to syndicates. He hated vampires and passed them on to his two nephews, telling them since childhood that vampires killed their parents. Vampires are monsters.

Yet…

Donghyuk now learns that vampires are turned into monsters by syndicates that include foreign and dangerous drugs. So who is the monster now?

Jungkook's parents were indeed killed by vampires, but the background is due to a dispute with the syndicate. I don't know what's up for debate until the syndicate has to throw Donghwa and Chanmi into a dangerous room where old vampires are locked up. Intentionally done so that both of them die, even in such a terrible way.

Donghwa and Chanmi are good people, Donghyuk has no doubt about it at all. Chanmi was even active in social activities, helping to fund several orphanages. If Donghwa and Chanmi are involved in a heated argument, it means that there is a policy in the syndicate that the couple cannot accept, or either both are trying to resist or oppose the syndicate's actions. Donghyuk is not surprised that the syndicate used dirty ways to build this business. Seems that's what makes the bickering?

I don't know.

Donghyuk's head was very mummy as several days of thinking about it continued. But he could not keep quiet after knowing the cause of the deaths of the two people. He can't just be quiet.

Donghyuk is waking up from his daydream, however, he is still in the meeting room with important people. He must continue to show his professionalism.

Two members of the council are busy talking about the perpetrator of the murder of Myunggyu, the previous chief hunter. Donghyuk became interested in the conversation because the vampire who killed Myunggyu was captured?

“Vampire was already in the syndicate, he was locked up at headquarters.” Jaesuk said.

“I heard even that vampire was a mutant vampire belonging to the syndicate before?” somin asked with a serious facial expression. Budget meetings are now turning into gossip meetings, after all, this conversation is more interesting than talking about budgets that create headaches.

“Yes. That's why he could have killed Myunggyu so sadistically, because he's a mutant vampire.” Jaesuk said. He showed me his phone. “This I got a photo submission proof that the vampire is a mutant vampire belonging to the syndicate.”

Jaesuk showed a photo of Taehyung whose hands and feet were tied to the bed, a pale white face and there were many wires on his head and body. Somin looked at the photo and nodded, actually quite used to seeing the photo of the vampire being held captive in the syndicate. So to him it's not strange.

“She looks very young huh,” comments Somin, “I guess her face is cruel considering how Myunggu and other hunters were killed.”

“I heard he was previously a regular human being and a few years ago became a project in the syndicate until finally turned into a mutant vampire.” Jaesuk said. “Sindikat has many projects like that but not many managed to live to be vampire mutants.”

Somin grimaces. “That's actually terrible.”

Donghyuk wanted to know. He looks into Jaesuk's cell phone to see the vampire who killed the previous chief hunter. Donghyuk's eyes opened. The face on the phone lying on the bed was so familiar. That's Taehyung's face a friend of Jungkook's right? He couldn't be wrong. It was Taehyung.

Donghyuk was in shock, his face instantly pale as if he had just seen a ghost. How could Taehyung be in the hands of the syndicate? D-and... The boy turns out to be a syndicate mutant vampire…?

Having worked for a long time as a hunter makes Donghyuk certainly memorize what a mutant vampire is, especially if the vampire mutant syndicate. That means there's a human being who's piloted by a syndicate and turned into a mutant vampire.

Like someone got stuck in Donghyuk's throat. And he recalled a few days ago that Taehyung had indeed disappeared away making Jungkook worry about him. So does that mean Taehyung disappeared because he was caught by the syndicate??

Oh and how Donghyuk remembered how the angry Jungkook was when Donghyuk was discussing the Myunggyu murderer. At that time Jungkook looked angry, annoyed to the point of crashing the soft drink can heard Donghyuk was cursing Myunggyu's killer.

Donghyuk felt his legs turn limp. So Jungkook already knew Taehyung was a vampire???

T-this is so surprising. Donghyuk felt his tongue turn bitter. He increasingly did not understand why the syndicate had to do such heinous and dirty things. His conscience cannot accept that Taehyung is a mutant vampire due to syndicate actions. And now his niece's friend is locked up by the syndicate and somehow fate is there.

Donghyuk felt anxious for what befell the vampire. He knew very well that Taehyung was a victim of the syndicate until he eventually turned into a mutant vampire.

****

The entire house was relieved when Jungkook was awake that morning. This is the 8th day since Jungkook was returned from the syndicate in critical condition. This morning Jungkook moved his fingers making Jimin who accompanied him surprised. He immediately called the others, announcing the happy news. Hell, previously Jungkook did not move at all and continued to sleep.

Finally in the room gathered Jimin, Seokjin, Soojung, Yoongi, Namjoon and Hoseok, waiting for Jungkook to wake up.

Slowly Jungkook opened his eyes. Conscious like this makes him able to feel pain in some parts of the body and his head is dizzy.

“Yes Lord... Jungkook..” muttered Soojung with teary eyes because his sister was already weeping.

“Finally...” said Hoseok gave haru a smile.

Jungkook looked at them one by one. What the hell's going on? Where is he now? His eyebrows frowned intensely the last time he remembered was the beach and the forest…

Seokjin heaved a sigh of relief and embraced Soojung's shoulder, being pleased that Jungkook had finally come to his senses.

Yoongi looked at Jungkook, he could feel the emotional upheaval of the human now, who was initially confused now turned drastically sad as if remembering something bitter.

“Taehyung?” jungkook asked them in a hoarse voice. He did not see Taehyung in this room. Don't tell me the soulmate is still in the syndicate's hands…

Jungkook's eyes glazed over, never should he cry again. People must have started to think he was so whiny and weak from constantly crying over Taehyung.

So this means that he has failed to save Taehyung because the vampire is still locked up by the syndicate.

.

.

After the heartwarming situation because Jungkook finally came to his senses, the others were very attentive to Jungkook. They took turns to feed Jungkook because Jungkook is still limp and can not move much. Jungkook said nothing when he saw the condition of his own body. As if it was still warm, he recalled how his fight in the syndicate, the pain in his shoulder and all over his body. Jungkook doesn't understand why the syndicate released him? Was he just used to transfuse blood for Taehyung and fight in the cage? Why isn't Jungkook locked up too?

Jungkook was told by Jimin how they now all live under one roof because of the urgency of the conditions. The mafia can kidnap Jimin and Soojung first, meaning the syndicate already knows all their respective addresses. And to avoid the same trap, Seokjin bought this new house as a hiding place.

Jungkook was slowly asked to tell what really happened, what happened to him. He tells how he was told to come to the syndicate because Taehyung was dying in need of blood. And after Jungkook's blood is taken, Jungkook is used as a game tool in the syndicate to fight vampires, becoming a spectacle of people subscribing to the syndicate.

That's so disgusting. No more good things in the syndicate, all ugly and sickening. Hearing Jungkook's story makes others only able to curse the syndicate and the people in it.

But Jungkook didn't tell me the part where he killed vampires. Jungkook only said that the fight was over because of his dying condition. He was too embarrassed to talk about how he had killed a vampire right in his heart. Such a thing would not be pleasant to hear by Seokjin, Yoon, Namjoon and Hoseok who are vampires.

Yeah, Jungkook did kill vampires. He was already too upset because of how torturing the fight was.

.

.

Jungkook sat on the balcony, looking at the plantation in front of the house. A sight that reconciles the eyes and heart. Actually, this place can help anyone to relax because it is far from the inhaled city, making you forget about city affairs.

But…

Jungkook felt that his heart was still very heavy. Taehyung has not been found and indeed he can just forget his dream? The dream was like his communication with Taehyung. His soulmate had woken him from a long sleep, but also informed him that Taehyung wanted to be helped and removed from the syndicate.

Taehyung wasn't supposed to be in the syndicate. That place will only continue to add to the grief of the nestapa in those vampire days.

Jungkook looked at the plantation with nanar.

“Taehyung will definitely be found..” muttered Yoongi suddenly startled Jungkook. Either way since when he was standing next to Jungkook's seat, as if knowing what Jungkook was thinking now.

Jungkook said nothing. He had heard such words hundreds of times.

“Do you think he can escape from the syndicate?”

Yoon-gi smiled thinly. That's a tough question. “You've been inside the syndicate headquarters, what do you think?”

Jungkook just grimaced, the syndicate headquarters sort of creepy confinement, as if there was no way out of it. Even drugs seem to be the ultimate weapon of the syndicate to freeze opponents.

“If Taehyung can escape, he must be confused because he can't find us,” Jungkook said, “He didn't know we were here.”

Jungkook does not agree they are hiding in this place not because he does not care about the safety of others, but this only makes Taehyung further and further from his reach.

“We will occasionally patrol to the old house and its surroundings.” said Yoongi. “That's also what we think about Taehyung.”

Jungkook didn't say anything anymore. He must recover his strength soon because Dongwook will contact him again sooner or later. In a few days Taehyung will again need his soulmate's blood.

And when that happens, Jungkook will not hesitate anymore. He'll save Taehyung.

****

Donghyuk had the opportunity to come to the syndicate headquarters. As the chief hunter he co-founded the process of ordering human blood to ‘feed’ vampire-vampire caged syndicates.

This was the first time Donghyuk had entered the syndicate headquarters. Before he became the head hunter and only worked as an ordinary hunter, he had never seen the headquarters of the syndicate. He did hear that the location of the headquarters was in Seoul but had never come to him directly. The chance this time he could get into the headquarters was staggering. Why surprising? Because Donghyuk did not expect that the headquarters of the syndicate was underground.

His heart pounded to see how he was accompanied into by several mafia. The entrance to the basement is in the area of the abandoned flats. From the outside it looks unusual and not suspicious. But in the basement has been parked a variety of luxury cars owned by guests who will enter the syndicate. There is an elevator leading to the basement. Donghyuk was very astonished because he saw there were 12 floors listed on the elevator button. Damn, since when has the syndicate built its headquarters underground like this?

This elevator will not just open. The elevator doors will only open using an electronic card. That's why this place was never known to be a basement or even a hunter's headquarters. The security system is very high. Donghyuk also believes that this underground headquarters is also facilitated by advanced technology, especially if it is also used as a place to lock and exploit vampires. The caged vampires must not be able to get out because the place is coated with silver material and also other sophistication that cannot be defeated by the power of vampires.

Donghyuk was taken to the -5 floor (meaning five floors below ground level). Donghyuk's eyes widened in surprise at the floor. Of course there were no windows as this was in the basement, but the rest looked as normal as inside an ordinary company building.

Donghyuk thought about which floor Taehyung was locked up on. Donghyuk gets a chance to meet him. Donghyuk couldn't possibly let Taehyung continue to be held captive in the syndicate. Although Taehyung was a vampire, it was the syndicate that made him what he is today. So you could say Taehyung framed the syndicate and became the sole victim.

It was in his mind to tell Jungkook about this but Donghyuk did not want to involve his nephew in danger. Jungkook can't get into this dangerous syndicate. Donghyuk did not know that Jungkook had been brought to this place.

Donghyuk came to the headquarters accompanied by his two comrades who were hunters. They delivered 100 bags of human blood to the syndicate. This business is so crazy to promise how money quickly flows, and of course the hunter headquarters must be a lot of splashes because as the troops who catch vampires are exploited.

Meanwhile Taehyung was still in his room unconscious. Earlier this morning he had been given an electric shock of anticipation so that Taehyung could not switch to a wild and powerful V personality. Now there are 3 doctors who are handling, they take blood Taehyung also put the drug into the vampire's body, the vampire, the syndicate's artificial chemicals were inserted so that Taehyung's body could become the host body of antibodies for chronic diseases. Researchers hope vampire blood can not only cure blood diseases but also cure other deadly diseases such as cancer, HIV or heart disease.

Taehyung's eyes were still closed but his fingers moved slightly. Someone called his name since earlier in his head, someone called and forced him to be aware of this drug.

“What is ProjectV22 in a passive state?” ask a doctor to his partner.

Another doctor gave a nod while checking a monitor that displayed a graph of the vampire's level of consciousness and strength. “He's under dope control and his vampire powers are off.”

“Then we can move him to the isolation room to X-ray his brain and cell tissue. We should start our research soon to find a cure for brain cancer from this vampire blood.”

The doctors hastily removed the hose from Taehyung's body but the handcuffs on his hands and feet were not released. Taehyung will be moved to an actual X-ray room not far from this room.

Taehyung's bed is pushed, the silver door that closes opens automatically. The humans will hastily move Taehyung quickly as long as the vampire is still unconscious.

Jungkook sat in a dreamy chair staring at the estate. The expression was so sad and sad.

“Taehyung-fr…

Please come back.”

“Tae!”

Taehyung jerks awake. His eyes opened and he saw how the silver ceiling and the bed on which he was laid were moving.

One of the doctors who accidentally saw Taehyung, was surprised that the vampire had already opened his eyes. “Oh–!” He was just flabbergasted but Taehyung was quick to remove the handcuffs from his hands and feet.

The other three doctors who escorted him were similarly shocked. Taehyung immediately jumped up, this was an opportunity to escape because he was no longer confined in a silver-plated room. The vampire pulled the arm of the doctor standing nearby, twisting and breaking his bones just like that. The doctor screamed in pain because of his broken hand.

Taehyung still had a cold and flat expression. He smacked his arm into the neck of another doctor making the human collapse instantly. And when a doctor tried to inject a syringe, Taehyung immediately broke the person's palm easily. The sound of shattering broken bones accompanied by a scream of pain rang out. As for the last doctor he enough to push the human body into the wall to make the doctor immediately fainted.

Taehyung immediately ran from there. He has to find the exit. The mafia who heard the commotion now sprang up trying to block Taehyung. There are four mafia. Taehyung's eyes turned white, trying to focus and with all his strength he had to get past the mafia.

Nimble Taehyung can avoid the mafia who tried to stick a knife. Taehyung aimed his knife at stabbing the mafia himself. He kicked and hit, he had to get rid of these guys if he wanted to make it out before things got worse.

Donghyuk and two hunters who were in another room heard the news that there was a vampire who escaped from a walkie talkie used by one of the mobsters who accompanied them here.

People panicked and started running towards where the vampire was. Donghyuk also got up. The sound of gunfire in the distance indicates the mafia who tried to take down the escaped vampire.

“ProjectV22 is attacking and trying to escape.” That was the last Donghyuk heard from the walkie talkie of one of the mobsters who rushed out of the room.

Donghyuk panic. What vampire is Taehyung? There was another gunshot.

“We must help,” said Saito a fellow hunter, “The mafia must only use ordinary bullets. We can help because our bullets are silver. We can subvert that vampire with silver.” bullets

Seungki, another hunter, gave a nod and pulled out his gun. He ran out following Saito towards the scene of the commotion.

Donghyuk held his breath and grew even more panicked. If the vampire who was trying to escape was Taehyung, Donghyung did not want anything bad to happen to Jungkook's friend.

At the scene of the incident…

Taehyung shies away from the gunfire the mafia directed at him. His strength was faster and agile, he kicked the mafia, smashed their heads or tore apart the flesh on their bodies. Whatever Taehyung will do so he can get out of this curse place.

Taehyung took a gun from the mobster who had been lying on the floor, directly charging into another mobster who was trying to attack him. Other mafias came as if endless. Shit, how many mafia on this floor? Why so many?

One of the mobsters managed to shoot his arm because Taehyung who was careless had to fight someone else. Taehyung quickly took the axe that was in the hands of the mafia and threw it at the person who had shot him.

Taehyung tried hard. Just a shot like this shouldn't let him off guard. As long as it was not a silver bullet, he could still endure the pain. Whatever way he had to make it out of this place even if half dead though.

One of the mobsters managed to stick a knife in his shoulder. Taehyung directly hit the human's back, smashing his bones instantly.

He immediately picked up a knife and threw it at a man who was trying to shoot him. Judging from his different clothes it didn't seem like a mafia, it could have been that person a hunter. Seungki immediately fell down because his stomach was pierced by a knife.

Saito, another hunter who came also fired a silver bullet but Taehyung managed to dodge. His eyes faded when he saw that the bullet fired was silver. He should be careful. If it gets hit just a little bit it can paralyze him and get him back locked up in a syndicate.

Saito shoots again but Taehyung immediately pulls the mafia agency on the floor and makes it as a shield. It was the human body that was shot while Taehyung was safely behind him. Taehyung picks up a mafia gun on the floor and shoots it at the hunter. Saito fell on the floor.

Taehyung did not want to linger anymore. He quickly ran before the mafia from another floor arrived. Up at the end he only saw the elevator door, no stairs or anything to access out. Taehyung pushed the button but could not. Damn, how did he get out like this.

“Taehyung..”

The vampire turned his head in shock and only grew more shocked when he saw Donghyuk, Uncle Jungkook. The eyes fester because they did not expect to see the hunter at the syndicate. So would that human try to subvert it just like any other hunter?
