Vampire In The City
Black Dragon

Jungkook is spoken to by Seokjin in the back garden of the house. Jungkook's heart is still hot even though it is not as hot as when he was in room with Taehyung earlier. Jungkook is still angry because Taehyung's personality again makes him frustrated. And I don't know what Seokjin wants to talk to her about right now.

Seokjin stared straight at Jungkook. From the first time he met Jungkook, Seokjin believed that he was a good man, he was just unlucky because he had to be friends with vampires and parents who were killed by vampires. But Seokjin feels Jungkook is trying to separate between vengeance and non-revenge. Jungkook seems to care enough about Taehyung.

“I have to bring you here,” said Seokjin, “Before you and Taehyung claw each other.”

Jungkook snorted and did not return the Alpha's vampire gaze. Even if he and Taehyung scratch each other, Jungkook will serve him. He will fight Taehyung to prove he seriously wants the old Taehyung back again.

“Taehyung is a member of my clan,” continued Seokjin, “My obligation is to protect him. I can't let you come and attack him so directly.”

“I didn't attack him!” tukas Jungkook, “I'm just upset because he's not the Taehyung he used to be.”

“It's complex, Jungkook-ssi. You can't simply say you want the old Taehyung. He is Taehyung with two personalities. Not everyone experiences it and you can't judge it like that.”

“I didn't judge him. I'm just saying that he ruined my friend's life. I want him to go, I want the old Taehyung.” Jungkook's eyebrows squinted sharply, indicating that there was still resentment in the heart. He still doesn't accept that Taehyung smokes.

“I understand,” said Seokjin with a slow smile, “I see that you care about him.”

Jungkook frowned at Seokjin. “Is there no way to make it back like it used to?”

Seokjin laughed softly and shrugged her shoulders. “If you are uncomfortable with his whereabouts, you can ignore him.”

Jungkook shook his head firmly. “Cannot. He's my friend, I can't possibly ignore him and pretend to forget everything that's happened.”

“Well...” Seokjin raised both his eyebrows and put on a smirk. “Every vampire has special powers and did you know that my vampire powers are capable of manipulating other people's memories? With my strength I can make you forget Taehyung.

Jungkook was stunned to hear that. He looked at Seokjin with enlarged eyes.

“Maybe it could be a good way out for the two of you,” continued Seokjin raising her chin as if challenging, “You won't remember it anymore and you just live your normal life without having to be preoccupied with this.”

“K-you can erase memory?” ask Jungkook.

“Could.” sahut Seokjin quiet. “But I don't do it carelessly. For a case like this, I'll do it if you want. But if I don't I won't force.”

Jungkook clenched his hands tightly. If his memory of Taehyung is erased, he will no longer be friends with Taehyung, they will never have any more business coupled with Taehyung being cold to him. But Jungkook doesn't want it. It's too hard for him. He wants to mend their friendship and get back as close as he used to be.

“No need.” replied Jungkook finally, “I don't want my memory deleted. I'll try to solve this problem.”

“So?” Seokjin was quite impressed to hear Jungkook's answer, “But as Alpha I don't want you to jeopardize Taehyung's safety even though I know he's stronger than you.”

Jungkook smiled thinly. “Oh really? But I'm good at boxing and good at exercising, my body is strong.”

Seokjin gave a smile and an eye smile. Jungkook may not have known that Taehyung has the power of destruction that can break bones and tear meat with his bare hands.

“I believe that your goal for Taehyung is good, Jungkook-ssi. Your brother is my girlfriend, I also want to protect you because that is also what your brother wants.”

“Oh yes by the way I am building a training and sports ground in the basement, I will be happy if you also often come to this house with your brother, we can train together.” said Seokjin.

“What's your goal? Will there be a war until you do?”

Seokjin just laughed. “Prepare is mandatory, we do not know what will happen in front of us. You and Soojung are always welcome in this house. I also plan to invite you to dinner in this house, officially introducing the clan members. We can build a good relationship even if we are human and vampire.”

Jungkook looked at Seokjin. The vampire is quite classy in terms of words and attitude, Jungkook believes that Seokjin will not hurt Soojung and he sees that her brother loves the vampire very much. So it seems Seokjin's plan isn't a bad one either.

“Ah and Jimin also..” added Seokjin, “She was very well received in this house.”

Jungkook nodded slowly. He is actually a little jealous because Jimin can still be close to Taehyung, the two remain close friends no matter that Taehyung who now has a much different personality than before.

“You may not be able to accept Taehyung's current personality,” said Seokjin, “But I hope someday you can make peace. No matter what personality your friend has.”

The man gave a faint smile. “Alright then... I'm sorry to go.” Jungkook bowed politely and then turned to leave Seokjin. The vampire looked at Jungkook's departure with a mysterious smile. He gets a hunch that Jungkook will actually be of great help to Taehyung.

Meanwhile Taehyung is still on the balcony. He looked down, looking at Jungkook who was walking away from the Kim Brothers mansion. His heart is still angry. He did not want to say he was hurt by Jungkook's attitude, he preferred that his current emotions were irritated and angry. Many times what Jungkook tells him is how he wants Taehyung to disappear, hoping Taehyung innocent returns. Taehyung wants to laugh. The man still insisted that he was not Taehyung.

Taehyung threw his face away and went into the room. He threw open packs of cigars in annoyance, causing them to fall to shreds on the floor. He doesn't care. Taehyung picked up another brand of cigar wrap, opened it roughly and took out one trunk. He lit it and sucked it deep.

Taehyung sits on the floor, trying to shake off his disturbed feelings with Jungkook's words. And the memory came back again.The physical pain he received that the bad guys did, which made him a guinea pig, made him unable to see the sun, made him unable to taste food for days. The barbarians, who considered it a subject of research, did not care for themselves, begging to be released.

Taehyung clenched his hands tightly. His mood grew even more gloomy by recalling bitter memories. He sucked the cigar again, dropped his body on the floor and closed his eyes. A puff of cigar smoke flew through the air. Why did he suddenly feel that his life was so vain and sickening like this?

It's been two hours Taehyung's been like that. Wraps of cigars were strewn across the floor, he had already tried every single one of those cigars. And damn the mood is still sad. He thought the cigar contained a kind of nicotine that would make him forget about the problem. Does that not apply to vampires?

“Shit.” Taehyung threw the cigar he just sucked once. Still lying on the floor, he took another pack, took it out with no energy. I don't know how much effort he spent just to find out about cigars, which even made his image demeaned others because it was considered a smoker and an insult. No, he doesn't have to think about it. For what he cares what others think of him. It's just about him. He's like this to himself, no one else.

“Go and let the original Taehyung come back again..”

The sentence came back, a sentence that just slid from Jungkook's mouth. Taehyung didn't show it at the time, but he was actually quite stuck. Jungkook's words should not affect him like this, surely because there is a close relationship of his other personality that causes him to feel very hurt? And that might also be because his other personality relied heavily on Jungkook, thinking of him as a true friend.

“Cih.” Taehyung grunts. He closed his eyes and began to suck the new cigar, no matter what type and brand, he was not paying attention. The vampire sucked it and exhaled it into the air, inhaling the scent that the cigar gave off. Suddenly he felt a familiar scent.

Taehyung's eyes opened. Next to his eyeball turned white and he immediately sat up straight. His mind was currently focused on the scent of the cigar he was smelling. Unmistakably, this was the same cigar scent that the Big Boss used to always suck on wearing that black mask.

Taehyung looked at the cigar he was holding. There's a Gurkhas writing on that cigar. Taehyung recalled that the name of this cigar he bought was Gurkha Black Dragon, including a cigar that was quite difficult he could and with a long reservation.

Finally he found it. The cigar was always sucked by Big Boss. This is very helpful if the Gurkha cigar is also a rare and best cigar. Maybe he can also know anyone who became a loyal consumer to later lead him to find the Big Boss.

Taehyung smiled longly still watching the cigar. At least one problem has diminished. Now he had to figure out how to find this kind of cigar community. He knew the easiest place to look was where people had fun: pubs and clubbing.
