That afternoon Seokjin and Jackson met at a cafe. Jackson is one of the members of the vampire council who is quite close to Seokjin.
“How do you work as a lecturer?” jackson asked while sipping coffee. Jackson is a 70-year-old vampire, his vampire power is metal control, can control the iron around him at will. That was also what he did during the hunter raid on the bamboo villa. He made the vampire run away easily because he also attacked the hunter with his power.
“Are you sure you have time with me like this?”
Seokjin grunted quietly. “I'm not that busy. There are things I want to ask you.”
“Ask only...” Jackson said calmly.
“Have there been any developments regarding the 4 vampires that hunter caught while in the bamboo villa?”
Jackson scolded. This is what troubles all vampire councils. “No progress yet means.”
“Do you think there's a traitor in the vampire council?” said Seokjin seriously, “I mean. 20 hunters were sent down to attack us. Doesn't that mean it's planned?”
Jackson nodded slowly. “I think the same thing as you. But we haven't found any evidence yet. I tried to suspect a fellow board member, but I couldn't. To imagine that there was a traitor among us was terrifying. You know a lot of info in the vampire council that is very secret.”
“I think that there's a vampire sales syndicate in this country, Jackson. Vampire not killed but captured for explotation.”
Jackson breathed out loud. “That's also what we discussed a few weeks ago. About vampire exploitation. If it is true then this syndicate has been very well coordinated and neat until we do not hear any news.”
“Maybe it's only been growing for a few years. What vampire council won't do something?”
“First, our focus is the position of the captured vampires. Vernon was one of the vampire councils that got caught, we were trying to track him down. Vernon has a soulmate.Maybe you've never heard of him, but a fellow soulmate can send you telepathy.”.
“Soulmate?” Seokjin frowned in wonder. Just this first heard there's a soulmate in the vampire world.
“Yeah, one in a million I could say. Many reasons and backgrounds that make two people destined to be soulmates. But I'm not going to talk about it now, I'm not an expert.” Jackson said, “Soulmate Vernon is also a vampire of the Yeon clan. The elder in the vampire council used to say that the soulmate vampire could telepathically transmit, so we tried to ask his soulmate but he had not received any telepathy. I think it could be because of the distance, or..” Jackson's teeth gurgled, “Or Vernon's condition was too weak to be able to send telepathy.”
“I hope she's okay.” Seokjin can't imagine what an uncivilized human has done that captures vampires and exploits them. Surely they will not bear the responsibility of torturing and exploiting. Jimin's mother may have done it for her son's safety but the woman still feels good. The blood is only used for one person every two weeks. Imagine what kind of abomination a vampire sales syndicate could commit? Certainly more heartless, exploiting the blood and body of an all-out vampire for illegal trafficking.
“I'll let you know if there's any progress.” Jackson sipped his coffee slowly. “If this is indeed a big syndicate, we need your help, Jin, as well as some other vampires. Because the vampire board is definitely outnumbered.”
“Arraseo..” muttered Jin nodded. “Oh yes, there are things I want to ask as well.” Seokjin must ask about the events that happened to Soojung's parents, her lover.
“It happened more than 10 years ago..There was a case of a couple killed by a vampire, do you have the data?”
Jackson frowned, silent for a moment trying to remember. “I've been on the vampire board for a dozen years, I've never heard of such a case. If any vampire had been caught killing humans would have been sentenced to prison by the vampire council.”
“Is this case not hidden?”
“No way.. Even a dead hunter killed by a vampire we have the data. Especially if you mention that the dead are ordinary people, ordinary people.”
“Is it possible that both died from blood loss sucked by vampires?”
Jackson laughed heartily. “You're not kidding, are you? You also know that we don't suck blood like that. Maybe the case of pure dead murdered, not because of dead sucked blood.”
“And the vampire board never had the data?”
“Perhaps the case never made it to the surface. So how do you know that two humans were killed by vampires? Is there any news?”
Seokjin mouthfeeled. “The victim's family believed it but did not report it to the media.”
“Jinjja?” Jackson felt the case was very strange. “Many speculations for a case like this, Jin, either his death was manipulated. or. if there was indeed a vampire who killed him, he said, the vampire was protected by some kind of organization until even the vampire council could not detect this event.”
“I agree with your opinion.” Seokjin drank his coffee deeply.
****
Soojung sat pensively at her study table. His fingers stroked a small photo figura. There is a picture of her parents who are very young. Her mother was very beautiful and was carrying a baby. The baby is Soo-jung herself.
Her parents died when Soojung was eight years old. His mother was a famous pharmacist of his time. His mother often gets a lot of awards and television news. His father was a businessman of medical devices and helped also in the drug business done by his wife.
That day, the day he lost his parents forever. Soojung is at home looking after Jungkook because her parents left since morning because of work.
Soojung even got a call from her mother that afternoon. His mother called asking if Soojung and Jungkook were okay, if Soojung had warmed the chicken soup for lunch, or if Soojung had locked the door tightly and made sure the warmers were on.
Soojung never knew that it would be the last time she heard her mother's voice. Because he got the news that his parents were gone. His uncle came to the house and reported it while crying.
That night was so stifling that Soojung's tears couldn't flow. It was only when the chests of his parents were to be put into the grave that the crying broke as well. An 8-year-old boy who thought the incident before his eyes was a dream thought everything would be fine as he opened his eyes again and woke up from sleep…
He was too naive to think the misfortune was just a dream.
Very depressing…
A week later, his uncle told him that his parents' death was caused by being killed by vampires. At that time Soojung thought vampires were evil humans filled with terror and psycho. A few years later, he discovered that vampires and humans were two different things. He even experienced trauma because when Junior High there were two vampires who sucked his blood. It just makes his hatred for vampires increase.
Soojung still holds that grudge. He is still waiting for the moment when he knows what really happened to his parents.
The woman looked at her parents' picture with a sad look. Her parents were too young to die that way.
The door to his room was knocked. Soojung doesn't have to turn around to see who comes in.
“Noona..” says Jungkook. His sister was wearing the same black clothes as him. This afternoon they are planning a pilgrimage to their parents' resting place because today is their parents' 24th wedding anniversary.
Soojung nodded and put the picture back in its place, at her study table. “Kajja... Uncle will follow from his workplace.”.
Soojung had walked first but because she saw Jungkook still sculpting, she stopped her steps and saw Jungkook's surprised face looking at something at her study table. “Kook, wae?”
“Bo-doll it..” Jungkook said staring at the pikachu doll on the shelf, next to his brother's study table.
“Ah...” Soojung also realized. “That was yours? When Ahjumma who cleaned the house brought out the trash basket containing pikachu dolls, I immediately took it. Because I think it's still too good to throw away, the material is very soft.”
Jungkook. Indeed, on that day Jungkook had thrown it away, he threw away the friendship doll given by Taehyung. At that time Jungkook was too angry and vengeful to master it so that he no longer wanted to keep the vampire-given goods.
“You can take it back, Kook..” muttered Soojung understood while patting his sister's shoulder. Soojung takes the pikachu doll and gives it to Jungkook. “Please let you get another chance after throwing away what means to you.”
Jungkook biting his lips hard. He will never forget his brother's words.
“Kajja...” said Soojung then walked out of the room first.
