Vampire In The City
Strange at Jimin House

Don't forget to leave a trail

🎃🎃

History class feels a bit different. Seokjin felt Soojung ignored him. The woman never once returned her eyes when Seokjin was teaching. Seokjin feels strange, she thinks her relationship with Soojung will go one step further due to the events at Halloween. Does the woman regret it now?

When the class was over, Soojung seemed to rush through all her belongings. Not as before, now Soojung is the first to leave the class compared to other students.

“Soojung–“ Seokjin already called her as the woman passed by and walked towards the door. Soojung clearly dodged like this. Seokjin wondered to himself, what exactly happened? As if the last time they met was all right. It's perfectly fine.

“Mr. Kim, any need with Soojung?” ask one of the students to get attention.

Two other students came to Seokjin with curiosity.

Seokjin shook his head calmly. “I'm just trying to remind him of the task next week.”

“Mr Kim is very attentive to Soojung.” comments students who wear ribbons in their hair.

“And I also had time to hear rumors that Soojung's boyfriend hit you?”

Seokjin sighed softly. How should he explain everything to these students. “Don't forget the History paper assignment next week. I hope you guys can make it well.”

“Ready, Mr. Kim´s. And what if Mr. Kim helped us, maybe we can study while chatting in the cafe? There is a good cheese cake shop near here.”

Seokjin gave a faint smile. “I still have class, Girls. I'm sorry..” He took his laptop and rushed off from class. It is still a big question for him regarding Soojung's change of attitude today.

After college that afternoon, Jungkook and Taehyung are invited to Jimin's house. Tired of hangouts at the cafe, Jimin wants to hangout this time they can lie down and relax together. At Jimin's house there was plenty of food.

This is the first time Taehyung and Jungkook have come to Jimin's house. Taehyung is very excited because he can go to Jimin's house, he actually wants to also play at Jungkook's house, maybe sometime.

“You live with your parents?” jungkook asked as the three were walking towards Jimin's house.

“I just stayed with my mom. My father and mother have been divorced for a long time.”

“Ohh...” said Jungkook, concerned also because Jimin's parents turned out to be divorced.

“What is your mother working as, Jiminie?” ask Taehyung.

“Doctor, but has retired, so now only help other doctors research. Well, that's my house!” Jimin pointed to a house that is not far away, a house that is large enough in modern style.

Taehyung's feelings were immediately uneasy as he set foot in Jimin's courtyard. He senses the energy and presence of vampires in Jimin's house. His eyes grew shocked, he tried to look around, checking who knew there was a vampire who just happened to be passing by.

“Eomma, I home~~” exclaimed Jimin opened the door for his two friends.

Already entered the house Jimin Taehyung felt the aura of vampire presence getting stronger in this house. Is Jimin's mom a vampire?

Jungkook frowned at Taehyung's suddenly tense face. He was confused because Taehyung is not usually like that.

“Wahh... You invited your friends.” A middle-aged woman appeared and greeted them. Her body was tiny yet her face looked extremely friendly and radiant. “Come in-entry.”

Taehyung looked at Jimin's mother. He was convinced that the woman was a human, not a vampire. Then where would he feel the aura of a vampire presence in this house if Jimin said he only lived with his mother?

Jimin briefly introduces his two friends to his mother. He then takes Tae and Jungkook to his room to relax and play games. Jimin's room is quite large, probably because Jimin is an only child so he also gets a large space in this house. King-size mattresses, study tables with laptops, own bathrooms, there is even a sofa for reading books.

“A minute I get you a drink and a snack, guys...” said Jimin. He put down his college bag and went out of the room.

Jungkook looked around Jimin's study desk, there was a picture of Jimin as a child with his mother, but there was not a single photo with his father. Jungkook thinks it looks like Jimin's parents have been divorced for a long time.

Taehyung sat tensely on the edge of the mattress. He still feels the vampire air in this house, it is not in this room or in the closest room to this room, but Taehyung believes vampires are in one part of this large house.

Jungkook glanced at Taehyung. “Wae? You're like someone who's constipated.”

“A-anni.” Taehyung.

“I see you're worried about something since coming to this house.”

Taehyung raised his head and returned Jungkook's gaze. He is eager to tell his curiosity, but that is impossible, Jungkook is an ordinary man.”I-I was just thinking about Professor Zhang's college assignment. That's it.”

Jungkook poked and sat down next to Taehyung. “I was expecting it. If you were so afraid of the task, you should have said. Tomorrow how do we work together in the library?”

Taehyung's eyes grew bigger. At first he was just looking for an excuse but if Jungkook offered help like this Taehyung would not refuse. “Jinjja?”

“Yep. Maybe with a discussion with the task will be completed sooner.”

That's lies. Taehyung is not at all reliable in Chemistry courses. Jungkook always helps a lot.

“Gomawo, Jungkookie.”

“You should tell your hyungs about my kindness so that next time you can be allowed to stay with us.” Jungkook said.

Taehyung. “I always tell your kindness and Jimin every day at dinner~~!” excited, “Maybe just wait a little longer until Hyung lets me.”

Jungkook poked, amused by the innocence of his friend. “Arraseo..”

And then Jimin came. He brought a tray of food and various snacks. “I've also ordered tteokbokki and corndog. Will be here soon.”

Jimin turned on his mp3 player and room speakers. Hip hop music in the room. “So what will we do, chingudeul?” Jimin raised an eyebrow.

Finally the 3 friends spent time playing PS, stopping for a moment to eat tteobokki who had come, then play back. The ones who play a lot are Jimin and Jungkook, Taehyung is only interested in watching, although sometimes he plays too but not for long. Their laughter boomed in the room because of how tough the game was between Jungkook and Jimin.

“Aishh, jinjja!” knock Jimin while throwing sticks to the carpet, “While a little more I won.”

Jungkook. “You won't be able to beat Jeon Jungkook's magic.”

“Huh!” Jimin lay on his bed, resting for a moment because of his butt and sore hands playing PS.

“Tae, play with me.” Jungkook said while looking back. He was astonished not to see Taehyung in this room. “Lho, where's Taehyung?”

“Maybe he went to the toilet.” said Jimin origin is still lying down and closing his eyes.

A few minutes ago Taehyung was out of Jimin's room. He secretly left the room to find out what was really in this house until he felt the existence of vampires.

Taehyung walked down the second floor slowly. He hopes he doesn't have to cross paths with Jimin's mother. Taehyung tried to raise his ears, but he did not listen to the sounds or gestures of vampires, only the sound of hip hop music was heard from Jimin's room. If Jimin and his mother were ordinary humans then why are there vampires in this house? Where is the vampire?

Taehyung checked the room one by one and he felt the presence of vampires he felt in the basement of this house. In the kitchen Taehyung saw another door and Taehyung was sure it would go through the basement. He can feel it. Taehyung feels proud because his vampire instincts are getting better at work. If he told his hyung, they would not think again that Taehyung was a baby.

Taehyung held the doorknob, gulped. Even if he finds a vampire in this house, will everything work out safely? He won't be attacked, will he? For God's sake, he's also a vampire, what is this he's afraid of!

Taehyung pressed the doorknob but the door did not open. Turns out the door was locked.

Taehyung was surprised when someone patted him on the shoulder from behind. He looked in shock and saw Jeon Jungkook.

“Tae? What are you doing?” he was astonished to see Taehyung and then saw the door.

So focused and nervous, Taehyung is not aware of Jungkook's arrival. “A-I'm just thirsty and want to take a drink.”

Jungkook. As he remembered, Jimin had brought a big bottle of drink. “In the room there is still drinking water kok.”

“A-ahhh..” murmured Taehyung.

“Why are you trying to open that door?” jungkook asked in surprise as he glanced back at the door behind Taehyung.

“A-anni, I just want to know what room is behind the door.”

“It was rude, Tae, unbeknownst to the owner of the house.” said Jungkook, “Kajja, it's your turn to play with me.” Jungkook pulled Taehyung's arm and took him away from the kitchen.

Taehyung lets himself be taken away. He looked back, looking at the door anxiously. He was not impolite, but he wanted to make sure of something. If there's a vampire in this house then Jimin's safety could be in danger, who knows it's secretly sucking the blood of Jimin and his mother?

.

Returning home, Taehyung shared his experience with his hyung. He told how he felt the existence of vampires in one of his friend's houses.

“Which chingumu house?” asked Yoongi while raising one eyebrow.

“Jiminnie..” Share Taehyung.

Yoongi was expecting it. He does feel something else in Jimin, some sort of vampire energy even though Jimin is actually an ordinary human being. What might it have to do with Taehyung's story, is that there's a vampire in Jimin's house.

“Aren't you trying to check where the vampire is?” ask Namjoon.

“I think it's in the basement. But the door to the basement is locked, I can't get there.”

Seokjin held her chin as if thinking. He remembered that in the past there were humans who ‘maintained’ vampires, making them as guinea pigs or just torturing vampires. But Seokjin couldn't possibly tell Taehyung. Jimin is Taehyung's closest friend.

“As long as your friend is not disturbed, Tae, I don't think you need to interfere.” said Seokjin finally. He was also worried about Taehyung. What if the vampire were going to attack Taehyung when Taehyung opened the basement? Kangur.

“Your friend has no bite marks right?” namjoon asked with enlarged eyes at Taehyung.

Taehyung tried to think hard and remember. “As I recall there were no bite marks on his neck, nor on his wrist.”

Namjoon. “Or. There could be vampires who make the basement of your friend's house as a hiding place or residence. You know, an ancient vampire who had no clan and lived alone.”

“Jimin has a brother?” ask Yoongi, “Who is staying with?”

“Jimin only lives with his mother. If not wrong Jimin said his mother had retired from the doctor because of the pain he suffered.” Taehyung said innocently.

Seokjin's expression turned tense upon hearing that. Yoongi could feel the Alpha's emotional changes now. Yoongi and Seokjin had a terrible experience with some ‘doctor’, especially if at home it felt the presence of vampires.

“Where is it?” namjoon asked, not realizing at all with what Yoongi and Seokjin were thinking right now.

“His parents are divorced..” Taehyung said slowly, feeling concerned.

“Taehyung,” said Seokjin surprisingly, “You don't need to be curious about vampires in your friend's house. As long as your friend and mother are safe, I think you can ignore that vampire.”

Yoongi looked at Seokjin seriously. He actually wanted to tell her how he felt each time he met Jimin, but he did not do it, it would definitely make Taehyung more anxious and curious. At the moment Seokjin is trying to keep Taehyung away from danger, and that is the best way.

Taehyung. “Good, Hyungie.”
