Seokjin and Soojung dated that night. They had dinner together with a pleasant atmosphere. The two grow closer and interested in each other. Seokjin's eyes unceasingly sparkled at her lover.
“What's your childhood like, Oppa?” ask Soojung while giving a sweet smile.
Seokjin can't even remember her childhood. He has lived as a vampire for too long. I think his childhood was about 100 years ago. Seokjin was born to vampire parents. Vampires were still alive in old castles. You know, like in the old movies, vampires used to live alone, not mingling with humans like they do now.
“I was a loner when I was a kid, Soojung.” Seokjin said honestly, “I don't have many friends.”
“Ah watch? But Oppa is a very pleasant person.”
Seokjin gave a knotty smile. He who is an Alpha used to be shunned by children's vampires because Alpha is considered powerful and his work is only oppressive. Though not so. Since childhood Seokjin has a hard heart like a rock because of the influence of the surrounding environment.
“I'm considered judes, Soojung.” Seokjin recalls that when her parents and other vampires died from being killed by hunters, Seokjin ran away and tried to save himself. He lived for years alone, trying to understand what a vampire's life meant. Until he was found with Yongi. The vampire-man Yoon-gi melts Seokjin's ice-like heart. Slowly Seokjin starts to break out of his shell, though Seokjin is not a typical loner.
“But with my brothers, I began to soften. You know, being the oldest brother makes me a very considerate person.”
Soojung gave a smile. “You must love your sisters very much, Oppa.”
“Of course. Those who are foremost and valuable in my life, Soojung-ah.”
“How about me?” goda Soojung withstood the ruckus.
Seokjin laughed softly, her face flushed a little at the words of her lover. “You have become a valuable part of my life, Soojung.”
“Jinjja?” whispered the woman.
“Jinjja.”
“Oppa became a valuable person in my life,” said Soojung staring at her lover, “I'm glad that I got to know you, Oppa.”
“I too..” said Seokjin sincerely. Seokjin could not imagine what his future with Soojung would be like. The woman doesn't even know that Seokjin is a vampire. Soojung does not want her happy time with Soojung to end. Seokjin can't change her destiny of being a vampire, but she can't kill the love she's growing in her heart for her. Whether their meeting was actually outlined by fate.Seokjin only hoped that this choice would not harm him and his clan later.

It was past midnight, but just like the night before Jungkook was hard to sleep. It seemed like he could not sleep because his mind was constantly busy working hard. He thought about what a real vampire life would be like. How can vampires survive hiding from hunters? Do vampires need to suck human blood? Jungkook has never seen Taehyung suck human blood, even Taehyung has an appetite like normal humans: eating meat, eating snacks and others.
Jungkook, who had been lying on his back to Taehyung, finally turned his back. He saw his friend who had fallen asleep with that naive. Looking at Taehyung's look Jungkook so wondered if his friend was really a monster? Is it true Taehyung is a vampire who breaks the hands and feet of others easily? Where is that creepy figure whose eyes are white like ghosts?
Jungkook looked at Taehyung who was asleep facing him, not moving even like he was not breathing. Jungkook had heard from his uncle that vampires didn't need to breathe. It seems so because Taehyung does not seem to breathe or exhale oxygen.
In Taehyung's weakest moment, Jungkook can immediately finish off the vampire. It has a lot of things made of silver. Looks like it's really easy to get rid of a vampire sleeping next to you, doesn't it?
Jungkook tries to digest and reflect on everything Taehyung has done since they first met. To him Taehyung is so innocent and innocent, that's what turned Jungkook the sociopath into softer. Jungkook is usually unconcerned and indifferent to the surroundings, but towards Taehyung and Jimin, he is not. But if you know the fact that his friend is a vampire, does Jungkook also have the right to defend his position? Is it easy for him to keep acting as usual while he knows his parents were killed by the vampie?
The pain in his heart again appeared mixed with anger. His parents who have never returned. But anger at the cause of his parents' death is still deep. Had Taehyung not been a vampire, maybe Jungkook wouldn't have felt this uneasy.
Jungkook turned his back and turned to Taehyung. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep, even though he knew he would dream of vampires again like the night before.
A few minutes later, Taehyung's eyes opened. He looked at Jungkook with a blank look. His vampire ears could currently hear other voices in the silence of the night. He could even hear the sound of his friend's breath. Taehyung heard that Uncle Jungkook was talking in the distance, apparently from his room. Donghyuk was talking to someone on the phone.
Taehyung tried to close his eyes tightly. Given that Donghyuk's job was a hunter, this made Taehyung even more afraid. He was afraid that the conversation even had to do with his job as a hunter. What big horde? About vampires?
Taehyung's legs are shaking. He really wanted to go home, being under the roof of Jungkook's house made him uncomfortable and felt very threatened. Taehyung realized his helplessness. He could even instantly die on the spot if caught off guard.
Taehyung never thought that the time had come for the situation he had feared. He was always begging for a true friend, a sense of friendship, but he did not expect that even fate would play him like this? Jungkook hates vampires.Jungkook's uncle is a hunter…
What would be wrong with him if he only wanted to have friends? Why does the universe seem to forbid this? Just now Taehyung felt happiness, he did not think he immediately got a difficult situation. This made him wonder if this was the price he had to pay when he had obtained true friends?
Taehyung's eyes glazed over. He bit his lips hard and thought why was life so unfair to him?
.

That morning Jungkook woke up. He fell asleep pretty fast, not usually, when he thought he would have a nightmare about a vampire who killed his parents.
Jungkook opened his eyes, his mind was still trying to load at the beginning of this waking up. Jungkook remembered that Taehyung was staying at his place. He immediately turned around, looking to the side, Taehyung was already sitting while hugging his knees.
“Tae?” ask Jungkook quite surprised at once astonished. What the hell's going on? Taehyung's expression did not look good. And since when did Taehyung wake up?
“Pa-morning, Jungkookie..” Taehyung said with a smile.
Jungkook sat up. “Wae?”
“A-anni.. Ng, since you're awake I want to go home, Jungkookie.”
Jungkook raised his eyebrows in surprise. He grabbed the phone on the shelf and saw what time it was. Time even still shows seven o'clock less!
“You want to go home? Wae's? Did something happen?”
Taehyung immediately shook his head. “A-I just have to go home fast so my hyungku don't worry.”
Jungkook was silent for a moment. Looks like Taehyung is feeling very uncomfortable in his house because of many unexpected events that happened last night huh? Weakness of vampires is silver, and in this house there are so many silver objects, especially Uncle Jungkook is a hunter.
“If that's what you want, I won't force.” muttered Jungkook finally still looking at Taehyung.
“Gomawo.” whispered Taehyung. The vampire immediately tidied up his belongings and bag. He just wants to go home quickly because he doesn't want to meet Uncle Jungkook. Taehyung could not sleep all night because he kept thinking about the conversation the hunter had. If you were in the vampire position and heard that conversation, it was natural that you didn't feel that your people's safety was threatened?
“Mian, I can't take you,” said Jungkook flat, “I'm still too sleepy.”
“Gwaenchana,” Taehyung said with a grimace, “A-I go home first yes, Kookie.”
Jungkook just gave a nod and let Taehyung out of his room. Jungkook is still blank in his bed. As a friend, his attitude actually passed, not even driving Taehyung to the front door.
Jungkook breathed out loud. He looked at the ceiling of his room wistfully. For a long time this kind of situation was very irritating to his heart.
