Jungkook clasped his phone tightly. She called her sister last night but there was never an answer. Soojung's phone is off, making Jungkook very worried about whether his brother is okay. He only hoped that his brother was not kidnapped by vampires or worse killed by vampires like the fate of their parents. Jungkook held back the anger in his heart. All because of vampires! All because vampires exist in this world.

Jungkook's eyes are red, it feels like he wants to berate someone. She was in her classroom, while the other students were chatting leisurely, cheerful because the weather today was so good and there were no assignments, Jungkook feeling the opposite. Like heaven and hell.

A few moments later Taehyung entered the classroom. After staying overnight at Jimin's house, Taehyung immediately went to campus, he had no clue at all about the tragedy of hunter x vampire last night, nor about Jungkook's current mood.

Taehyung looks at Jungkook and bites his lips. Is Jungkook still mad at him? But Taehyung felt he had nothing wrong, so now he needs an explanation from Jungkook what really happened. And if Taehyung turns out to be guilty, the vampire is willing to apologize. Although last night he cried and was disappointed in Jungkook's attitude but Taehyung still did not want to lose his friend. He wants to be friends with Jungkook.

With hesitation and a little fear, Taehyung approached Jungkook's desk. The face of his friend was how very serious and sinister. Taehyung increasingly did not understand why Jungkook's face already looked angry like that.

Taehyung wanted to take a seat next to Jungkook but was stunned when he saw that the chair he used to occupy was already perched in Jungkook's bag. Taehyung was at a loss for words. Can't he sit next to his friend?

“J-Jungkook..” muttered Taehyung bitterly looked at his friend awkwardly.

“You find another bench.” Jungkook said without looking at Taehyung's face.

Taehyung was surprised. He was no longer allowed to sit next to his friend, what was wrong? “M-mwo?”

“I said find another bench!” jutting Jungkook while looking at Taehyung sharply. His mood was currently chaotic, anger and resentment mixed and was ready to erupt like a mountain of merapi. Jungkook doesn't want to make it worse by sitting next to Taehyung, it only further reminds him that he is friends and hanging out with a vampire. That makes him very angry.

Taehyung's eyes glazed over. This morning he tried to suppress his disappointment last night about Jungkook's attitude and thought that today he and Jungkook will return as usual.But it seems Jungkook really does not want to be friends with him anymore?

With trembling legs, Taehyung turned around and looked for another bench. His tears were already dripping he could not stand. He felt so stupid, the people who saw him might as well think so.

Taehyung sat on the empty bench that was still left. He sat alone without anyone to accompany him and invite him to talk. Taehyung squeezed both hands, stuck his fingernails into his hard-hit skin. This is so sad, why does he feel back to the time when he was bullied while still a student?

The vampire tried hard, silently wiping away her tears. She can't cry. He can't. Maybe Jungkook wants to be alone, maybe Jungkook is stressed because of problems. And maybe later in the afternoon Jungkook will come back to talk to him.

.

.

But it seems his thinking was wrong. When college was over and it was time for lunch break, Jungkook did not come to him or talk to him at all. The man immediately left the classroom, passing Taehyung just like that.

Taehyung quickly tidied up his things to follow Jungkook who was gone. Meanwhile some of the students who had since noticed, smirked in satisfaction. Kim Jaewook, Bohyun and Geunwon, people who used to throw soft drink cans at Taehyung in the gymnasium. They were happy that Kim Taehyung was finally released by his guardian angel. Didn't they finally get a chance to blackmail the village students but the money?

***

Soojung's eyes are swollen with constant crying. He was exhausted, but still did not get the answer and certainty of his fear and confusion. Since the morning after their last conversation, Seokjin had not appeared again to this room. Soojung felt she had completely destroyed the vampire's feelings.

Room door knocked. Soojung looked towards the door, at this moment she even wished Seokjin to appear before her. Soojung's heart is not plong yet.he does not want to part ways with his loved ones like this.

A person with white hair, opened the door while carrying a tray filled with food. Soojung was surprised to see it. He did not even excuse the other residents who live in this house.

Yoon-gi gave a polite smile. “You should eat first..” he said as he walked closer to Soojung. Yoongi could feel the emotional upheaval inside the woman. Man is still in confusion and wondering about the truth.

“Seokjin will not force you to be in this place,” said Yoongi again after putting a tray on the bedside table. “You can go home but you better fill your stomach first.”

Soojung lowered her head, she wanted to apologize. He is a guest in this house, not yet excuse me, has not introduced himself but the inhabitants of the house brought him food as if he was the princess.

“No need to worry about the food.. not covered in any poison.” said Yoongi flatly.

Soojung raised his face in surprise. “I don't think like that.”

Yoongi gave a faint smile. “You know, if vampire images are so bad from time to time, I wouldn't blame you if you thought badly of us. Vampire hiding self-identity is one of them because of this, because we will not be trusted.”

Soojung was stunned, the words of Yoon-gi were so striking.

“I am a cake maker,” I am Yoongi, “Kue made by me is very liked by humans. My taste is still the same even if they know that I am a vampire. I did not necessarily change the taste of my cake.”

Soojung's esophagus feels very dry. Yoon-gi's words make her think that Seokjin will do the same, a feeling that will not change even if her identity is known.

“My name is Yoongi..” continued by that, “I'm not trying to defend my Hyungku, but I can make sure that he does not manipulate people's minds for personal gain. The relationship between vampires and humans alone is already troublesome, why should he do it?”

To be honest, Yoon-gi does not approve of Seokjin having a romantic relationship with humans, let alone humans in question has something to do with hunters. But Yoongi could not impose his will because he realized that all this was destined to happen. Because of his empathic powers, Yoon-gi can be sure that the feelings Alpha has are pure and sincere love.

Yoon-gi heard the conversation this morning in this room. Any vampire in this house can hear it because vampires have an amazing sense of hearing. And Yoongi was saddened when he could feel Seokjin's feeling of being smashed to pieces was deeply hurt by the polemic.

“No one can determine his own life path,” said Yoongi slowly, “We can not determine at birth what he wants to be. I never thought that I was born a vampire-human. My mother was human while my father was a vampire. I never asked to be born so.”

Soojung's eyes grew bigger. His heart was slashed at the confession of the vampire before him. If it is well digested, it is.

Yongi laughed bitterly. “We know very well that many humans hate vampires, expecting the death of vampires. That's why we hide our identity, trying to sustain life like this.”

The woman's eyes were back in tears. Yoongi's words were too pitiful to hear.

Yoongi was eager to vent all his thoughts during this time. What is different about humans? The human beings who exploit vampires for personal gain cover their evil behind the hunters who are considered heroes as vampire exterminators. This means that humans are no different from vampires. This world does not belong to humans.

“If you want to leave my Hyungku, that's your right.” said Yoongi for the last time. He has no right to interfere in convincing the feelings of others. Yoon-gi just wants to tell the truth that Seokjin never manipulated Soojung's memory to make the human fall in love with the vampire.

Yoon-gi turns around and leaves the place, leaving Soo-jung who can only look down sadly. The sharp words of Yoon-gi were like a knife, drawing it to his heart.

What should he choose and believe? His head hurt when he thought of all this. He needs time to calm down and make sure his own heart sounds.
