Vampire In The City
The Big City (2)

Taehyung has been shaking his mouth ever since. He lay in bed, squeezing a Jeolton pokemon doll while raising his legs half bored.

“Taehyungie, my doll is in pain if it continues to be treated like that.” Jimin scolds. He took the pokemon from his best friend's hand. “Aigoo, this doll is my favorite because of this we got while playing in the arcade. Don't you appreciate it?” Jimin hit back with an even more advanced pout.

Taehyung breathed out loudly. He turned his back on Jimin.

“Pokemon Jeolton is like my miniature, Tae. This Pokemon is very fast hehe and you know that I also have a little vampire power in terms of speed.”

“Jiminnie, I'm not in the mood to joke.”

Jimin sighed. He put his doll back on the shelf. Tonight Taehyung stays at Jimin's house at his own request. Tonight was supposed to be a vampire council meeting Taehyung attended but Seokjin abruptly canceled it, thinking that it was safer for Taehyung not to come along and having Jimin take Taehyung to his house so that Taehyung would not be too disappointed. But look.the baby vampire was even very fussy until Jimin was overwhelmed to handle it.

“Tae, this is for your good.” said Jimin sitting on the bedside. “Leave it to hyungmu to clean it up.”

“Anni. Seokjin Hyung just doesn't trust me even just to be present at the board meeting. She always thought of me as a baby vampire, a helpless weak baby.”

“Tae..” Jimin would love to say that Taehyung is not weak. He had already witnessed for himself how Taehyung crushed the bones of others. How could his hyungas not know?

Taehyung's eyes were already glazed over. He had removed his contact lenses and his silver eyes had been visible since. Jimin already knew about Taehyung's eye's true color. It also answers Jimin's confusion first why Taehyung's eyes are silver when photographed with a blitz.

“Why have I always been considered weak, Jiminnie? I am not weak, nor should I be reckoned to be present to testify. What if my hyungku gets sanctioned?”

“Taehyung.. Alpha-you know what's best.” Jimin couldn't continue because his phone on the table was shaking. Who called him at a time like this?

Jimin stood up and went to the table. He saw Jungkook's name on his phone screen. If Jungkook wants to take him to drink soju right now, Jimin seems to have to reject him. There's another big baby he needs to take care of now. Urgent.

“Ne, Jeon?”

“Ji-Jimin...” said Jungkook stuck across, “There are very important things.”

“Hmm?” jimin said casually while still observing Taehyung.

“Do you know where Taehyung is now? He didn't answer my phone.”

Taehyung turned his body and looked towards Jimin. He had already heard Jungkook's voice with his vampire ears.

“Taehyung? She's with me now, wae?”

Jungkook already wanted to scream. He had been panicking and worried about dying trying to call Taehyung but it turned out that the vampire was being delicious at Jimin's house?

“I want to talk to him, Jimin.”

Jimin was so surprised. “Tae, this Jungkook wants to talk to you.”

Taehyung immediately sat up and took the phone from Jimin's hand. He was immediately excited because Jungkook wanted to talk to him, like a puppy wagging its tail.

“Jungkookie~!!”

“You're anywhere! Why don't you answer my phone!” snapped Jungkook across in annoyance.

Taehyung was shocked because Jungkook directly snapped at him like this. Taehyung did not have time to bring his cell phone to Jimin's house due to a sudden situation in which Taehyung was not invited to a vampire council meeting. “J-Jungkook–“

“You've always been a hassle like this! Can you be sensitized not?”

Taehyung's eyes were already wet hearing Jungkook's sudden ramble. What was he wrong until Jungkook scolded him like this? They didn't talk to each other before.

Jimin can't let it go. He couldn't accept Jungkook calling just to get Taehyung hurt like this. Jimin robs the phone and scolds Jungkook back, “What's wrong with you, Jeon? Why did you call just to scold Taehyung? What's wrong?”

Jungkook snorted loudly while holding his head with a hand that was not holding the phone. His head would break in a moment and no one would understand his condition.

“Mianhe, Jimin.” Jungkook pressed the end call.

“Aishh, what's wrong with that Jeon Jungkook.” Jimin was so upset and did not understand the attitude of his friend. Jimin turned to Taehyung who was crying without a sound. The vampire was getting worse with Jungkook's words just now. Mood Taehyung was already quite pitiful and Jungkook's sudden demeanor made him even worse.

“I do not understand...what is my fault..” isak Taehyung. He tried to wipe his own tears. As if Jungkook's previous attitude had not saddened his heart, this time Jungkook scolded him like before. It was the first time for Taehyung to be yelled at by Jungkook and it felt so very painful.

“Tae..” Jimin hugs his best friend's shoulder with concern. “Don't cry yes..maybe he worries you.”.

Taehyung. Worried what the angry times were like, the hyungs were worried about him doing the opposite of what Jungkook had done just now. Taehyung wonders if Jungkook doesn't want to be friends with him anymore?

Mood Taehyung was actually already gloomy because he was not invited to the vampire council. His heart condition is getting worse now.

This is the first time Soojung has seen a hunter-hunter (of course other than her Uncle). Soojung follows the hunters' brieffing first before a major raid is made. They gather in a building like a shophouse. Everyone wears hunter-gatherer clothes, some even add silver accessories to their fingers and neck. Soojung was really stunned, it turned out like this is the hunters who will eradicate and fight vampires. And it seems Soojung is the only woman there. It's very hard to find a female sniper hunter.

The total hunter in the room was about 20 people, consisting of various types of ages, some were young and some were senior and old. These hunters were gathered from all the cities in South Korea. The number of hunters in each country is not much, coupled with the few vampires that can be found. For this great hunt, all hunters are deployed so that the mission can succeed.

“Masing will each get a time countdown watch where we will shoot vampires together.” said a fairly old senior hunter who had introduced himself as Oh Myunggyu. One of his men also distributed watches to every hunter. The digital watch was not a timepiece, even Soojung saw nothing on his screen. It seems that there will be a countdown later as the hunters start shooting vampires.

“Location which became the hunting place is in a luxurious and large villa located on the edge of the bamboo forest,” continued Myunggyu. With a projector screen he showed a map of the location in question. “We do not know where the vampires gathered but it is likely in the middle room because it is the largest room in the villa. We will divide it into 4 parts according to the direction of the wind. Five hunters in the North, five in the East, five in the South and five in the West. For the distribution I did randomly, you can see the wind direction code on each watch that has been shared.”

Soojung observes his watch and he sees on the watch strap a small red code that says S. This means Soojung will be in the section ‘South’ aka South.

Donghyuk smiles and shows that he got the code N which means at ‘North’ or in the North. Soojung doesn't want to panic even if she splits locations with her Uncle. There are still other hunters nearby who will help him right?

“We will not be in close proximity to the villa. We hide behind a bamboo tree 30 meters from the villa. I think that's the safest distance for us to aim at. And the safe distance for us to escape immediately if any vampire escapes in the hunt.” Myunggyu looked at each hunter one by one. “Of course we expect no vampires to escape right? I want this mission to not fail. Our target is to capture at least 10 vampires.”

Soojung gulps. Maybe the point is if there are vampires who can avoid the shot. But Soojung hopes no vampires escape this hunt.

“I emphasize that we did not shoot the heart of a vampire,” Myunggyu said again making Soojung stunned. “We only target their shoulders or legs. If there really is a new aggressive vampire we can aim at their heart.”

Soojung was surprised, she turned to her Uncle. That woman doesn't understand why they didn't just kill the vampires?

Donghyuk gave a thin smile and raised his chin towards Myunggyu, asking Soojung to keep her attention to the instructions.

“Later there will be a team that snatches the vampires. For new hunters who don't know yet, this is a new policy. The vampire will be handed over to another team to find out the clan's position so we can eradicate more vampires.”

Soojung is confused by the hunter's chief's words. Why do vampires not just be killed, why increase the risk by catching vampires just for interrogation? What's the point of all that?

“I've added another team that will take down vampires. Every silver bullet in your gun is coated with a poison that makes vampires faint.”

Soojung's eyes are still growing. He just found out that the procedure performed by the hunters is like this. So how can he avenge himself if he is not allowed to kill vampires as he wished?

Donghyuk patted his nephew's knee. “Do as instructed, Soojung-ah. This is for the safety of all.”

The woman's eye brows were still frowning incomprehensibly.

What is this hunt like?
