Vampire In The City
Big Hunt

Author update again on the same day although night night 😅 hopefully like.

Cuss happy reading..

Jungkook has been chin-backed ever since. The mood is the same as last week. Confusion and uncertainty make Jungkook not passionate about life. He went through a phase where he didn't know what to choose. Taehyung is his friend, the first person to make Jungkook comfortable and willing to open up. But unfortunately, the person he thought meant it was a vampire. Jungkook cannot tolerate vampires and their nature. That was his commitment from a long time ago. Then how could he do such a thing to Taehyung? Is this commitment being tested?

“Jungkook, what's wrong with you?” ask Jimin. Taehyung is currently going to the toilet and they just finished lunch together.

Jungkook glanced at Jimin. Should he tell Jimin his disquiet? Shouldn't Jimin also see that Taehyung is a vampire? But it doesn't seem to disturb Jimin's life because look at his friend it's getting sticky on Taehyung.

“Something seems to be bothering you lately?” added Jimin.

“I’m okay.”

“Bro, if there's anything you want to tell me you can count on me, okay?” Jimin gave a faint smile. Actually, Jimin also felt bad because he had to hide many things from Jungkook. But Jimin promised, if the time is right, Jimin will explain it to his friend.

“Or we can chat while drinking soju like adult men~!!” Jimin embraced Jungkook's shoulders and brought their heads closer while laughing at the fidelity.

“Aishh...” Jungkook tried to keep his friend away but could not. “Drinking soju with you can't relax your mind.”

“Yes, don't forget I'm Jimin-ssi, I'm a good listener as long as you know.”

Jungkook rolled his eyeballs. “Yea, yeah.. good listeners to sleep you mean?”

“Yes, are you still talking about it?” jimin is a little upset. He's trying to tackle Jungkook's neck. He did not accept because Jungkook again discussed when he first stayed at Jungkook's house.At that time they were playing games while Jungkook told about his favorite game list, but soon Jimin even fell asleep.

Jungkook just poked. Jimin is relieved to see that his friend is already a little more relaxed even though his self-esteem should be at stake.

Along with that Taehyung returned. He sat in front of them, looking at the two in surprise. He was quite impressed because he saw Jungkook who was more relaxed and was joking with Jimin.

“What do you guys screw up?” tanya Taehyung with her boxy smile. If he could he wanted to make Jungkook keep smiling like that.

“Anni, not nothing.” says Jungkook quickly. His expression returned flat and tried to keep away Jimin who was still trying to invite him to joke. Jungkook feels uncomfortable if he has to interact back with Taehyung. Jungkook has his own ego where he feels that what he did to Taehyung is acceptable to the vampire who lied to him! Didn't we?

Taehyung is of course conscious. Jungkook's attitude lately has gotten colder to him, not smiling or laughing at him like he used to. Is Jungkook now starting to realize that he is just a burden, asking this is about the task of college? And after staying at the Jungkook place, the atmosphere was even more awward among them. Taehyung began to feel awkwardness mixed with fear, lest Jungkook really suspect him as a vampire? If not, then what is the reason for Jungkook's attitude, coupled with Jungkook's strange talk about silver.

Taehyung tried to smile at Jungkook but his friend turned his face away, as if avoiding him.

Soojung was making coffee in the kitchen that night. He needed caffeine to accompany him to college. It's past midnight, the lights are turned off, only the lights in the kitchen are still on.

Faintly Soojung hears her Uncle's voice talking on the phone, seemingly coming from her Uncle's room. Soojung was unable to catch the conversation but she thought that it seemed like the job of the hunter was quite heavy as well huh, even in the middle of the night like this still had to take care of the work. A hunter should be ready whenever needed. Once upon a time, his uncle was called before dawn and asked to go to another city because there was an indication of the presence of vampires in the city. Maybe Soojung can call the hunter job a noble job huh. Noble because hunters work to risk their lives to protect humans from vampires.

After a while, there was the sound of doors opening and footsteps approaching the kitchen. Soojung turned her head and saw her uncle walking towards the kitchen.

“Oh Soojung-ah? Not sleeping?” ask Donghyuk.

“Making coffee, Uncle.” sahut the woman, “What Uncle wants?”

Donghyuk. “Anni. I went to the kitchen to get some water. I have to sleep well tonight, Soojung-ah.”

Soojung gave a smile. “It looks like there is good news huh?”

After taking the drinking water from the refrigerator, Donghyuk turned his back on his nephew. “That's also what I want to tell you.”

“Wae?”

“Tomorrow nights there will be a big hunt. Uncle needs a sniper like you to help us.”

“Wahh. Isn't this rare, huh? I'm very honored if I'm allowed to join.”

Donghyuk sipped his drink. “You're right. I haven't had a big game in a long time either. Most chasing 1 or 2 vampires. While I hear the number of vampires in the hunt tomorrow reaches more than 10 vampires.”.

Soojung was stunned until he covered his mouth with both hands. He can't imagine what the atmosphere will be like tomorrow night.Of course all vampires are scary and evil, right? “Daebak. A lot of.”

“That's it. We need a lot of snipers because it's impossible to attack from close range. Fighting with one vampire alone has risked life let alone meet more than 10 vampires.” Donghyuk watched his nephew carefully. “I won't force you if you're scared, Soojung-ah. This job is actually very dangerous but provided we are equipped with silver equipment and shooting from a distance seems safe.”

“I of course want to, Uncle,” said Soojung quickly. Doesn't he always look forward to this opportunity where he can avenge himself against vampires? “I have to practice my skills in shooting, right? Moreover, my goal in training is so that I can kill vampires in moments like this.”

Donghyuk smiled, satisfied to see the spirit of his nephew. “That's great.”

“Oh yes by the way Uncle can big hunt info from where?”

“We have spies,” Donghyuk gives a grin, “Which is clear for the big hunt tomorrow there will be approximately 20 shooters who will aim from a distance.”

“Wahhh I'm so excited. Tomorrow we're going to attack the vampire lair?”

Donghyuk smiled faintly. “Not a nest. But like some kind of vampire meeting, I don't know what they're talking about. When they're off guard we'll shoot them straight away.”

“On the edge of bamboo forest, away from the crowd.” Donghyuk gives smirk. “Tomorrow before our attack there will be a brieffing to determine the location point division. Surely each of us must shoot at the same time so that no vampire escapes and instead turns to attack us.”

Soojung gulps. For that he was a little afraid. Soojung is always waiting for this opportunity, but she does not actually know what to do if there are vampires who attack her. Was he even able to survive when fighting one on one? Soojung is not like Jungkook who is good at boxing and fighting. Soojung is only good at shooting and archery, the rest of her like ordinary women.

“Take it easy, Soojung. We'll be equipped with silver guns. Even if vampires strike back, we still have a chance to defeat them.”

“If vampires are killed, will we burn their bodies?” ask Soojung timidly.

Donghyuk laughed at his nephew's innocent question. “We'll talk about everything at the brieffing tomorrow, Soojung-ah. I've also asked my people to prepare equipment for you.”

Soojung nodded. Thus ended the conversation. His uncle goes back to the room while Soojung is still pensive there, thinking of the big hunt tomorrow. Why does she feel bad.

****

The next day when Jungkook came home from college, he saw his brother and uncle were getting ready as if they were going to leave. Soojung was wearing knee-high boots while his uncle was putting silver weapons in his bag.

“Where are you going?” ask Jungkook plain.

“Jungkook-ah, we will go and probably go home once a night,” said Donghyuk, “Evening is prepared if you are hungry yes.”

Jungkook frowned in wonder. If his Uncle was going to go to work, it was normal, but why would his Noona go with him? His sister even wore all-black clothing similar to the one his uncle wore. Hunter's clothes.

Soojung glanced at her sister, understanding that Jungkook must be confused right now. “Noona will come with Uncle to hunt vampires, Kook.”

“Mwo?” Jungkook was very dumbfounded.

Donghyuk gave a smile as he patted Jungkook on the shoulder. “There's a big hunt tonight. Hunters need a lot of snipers to defeat vampires.”

Jungkook's eyes grew surprised. “Ta-but Noona is not a hunter. That's a danger, right?”

“We have many numbers, Kook,” said Donghyuk, “We just need to make sure the vampire was shot on target.”

Jungkook Mash is in shock. His eyes twitched in disbelief. If he was looking forward to a time when one of his family members could take revenge on vampires, but why is he so worried now?

“Ka-you're going where?” ask Jungkook with choked breath.

“Settle place,” says Brother, “There's a bunch of vampires there.”

“Sorry if you can't I'm talking, Jungkook-ah,” said his Uncle as he patted Jungkook's cheek slowly, “While you're really trying to avenge vampires, right?”

Jungkook was standing frozen in there. No, that's not what he's thinking right now. If he wants revenge, he can do it to Taehyung, right?

“Our prayers so that we can eradicate many vampires, Jungkook-ah,” said the middle-aged man, “Thus we can avenge what vampires did to your parents.”

Jungkook couldn't say anything. He stood frozen while his Uncle and Brother had already left the house. Jungkook tried to think hard, what is the possibility of Taehyung included in the big hunt? Vampires in Seoul are not much, and his Uncle also often said that it was rare for hunters to find vampires. Then why suddenly there can be a big hunt? How many vampires will be exterminated tonight?

Jungkook clenched his hands tightly. “For what I should care..” Her eyes are red and wet. “Vampire never thought about the human feelings they killed.”

Jungkook ran to his room, no longer caring. He threw his bag irritatedly on the floor, wanting to scream loudly. While the grudges that were raging within him had yet to be avenged, there was fear in his little heart.

Jungkook threw himself on the bed, covered his face with a pillow. He didn't need to care about any vampires the hunters killed. He never cared for me. He prayed that all the vampires would die on earth, so what is bothering him now?

It flashed through his mind the face of innocent Taehyung. Her friend was though a vampire but very innocent. If in the big hunt there is Taehyung. his friend must have been the first one shot.

Jungkook's heart stopped beating when he imagined it. He immediately sat up, erasing his imagination far away. Although Taehyung is a vampire, but if it must be killed sadistically by hunters, it cannot be fully accepted by Jungkook. He will feel guilty if that happens.

Jungkook gulped. Should he check it?

The man picked up his bag on the floor, looking around for where his phone was. It's too much if he had to contact Taehyung suddenly, even though he's been quieting Taehyung a lot these days. But Jungkook's curiosity is bigger and he is sure he won't be able to sleep if he hasn't ascertained his worries.

Jungkook called Taehyung. Long awaited, no answer at all. Jungkook bit his anxious lips, wondering why Taehyung did not lift him.

Not giving up, Jungkook kept calling many times.

Jungkook stared at his phone with enlarged eyes. Is Taehyung not included in the vampire hunt tonight? Aishh, and stupidly why didn't he ask in detail about the location of the hunt?

Again Jungkook called Taehyung, hoping his friend would pick him up. “Colah... why don't you lift it..!!” peeved.

I wanted to throw my phone at the wall. Jungkook tries to calm himself down, trying to tell himself that Taehyung may not be included in the big game.

But what if it turns out he was there too?

With the panic growing, Jungkook also chose to call Jimin. He had to ask, he had to tell Jimin about his panic, about their friend who was in danger.
