Vampire In The City
When Everything Worsened

Taehyung was sitting daydreaming alone in the cafeteria while Jungkook was buying food for them while waiting for the last class this afternoon. Taehyung has not told Jungkook that he has communicated with V. Taehyung felt that the information was useless, it might add to his friend's turmoil. His communication with V did not provide a solution to this problem. Does V not appear anymore? Either Taehyung should be happy or not. He is happy because he will continue to enjoy life, but on the other hand there are still things that block. The hyungya, Jungkook, and Jimin must know that.

“Hello..”.

Taehyung flinched from his daydream and saw a beautiful woman had come and greeted him like this. The vampire did not know the man at all.

Taehyung. “Ya?”

Lisa smiled a smile, watching Taehyung carefully. He realized that Taehyung looked different, his appearance was like never before. And if you look carefully Taehyung's expression is not as good as before.

“I'm Lisa, remember? You're Jungkook's friend, right?” tell that woman.

Taehyung remembers Lisa's name, he once saw the name of the woman who called Jungkook. “Aahh... yes yes yes..” Taehyung gives a friendly smile only.

Lisa was quite stunned. So different Taehyung's reaction, not as badass before. Even Taehyung gave her a smile, when the last time they met in Taehyung's library was swearing at her.

“Where is Jungkook?” lisa asked, still surprised because the man had not given death glare or what the previous tempo was like.

“She is buying food.” Taehyung said. He looked at the woman very well, very beautiful and friendly. “Do you want to leave a message for Jungkook?”

Lisa shook. “Anni, anni, no need, I just happened to pass by here. Greetings yes, Taehyung-ssi, even though we have met before.”

Taehyung gave the boxy smile. “Yep, greetings know too, Lisa.”

Lisa was very satisfied to see the positive response she received from Taehyung. He didn't think it could be this easy? “When we can go play together, Taehyung-ssi. Jungkook's friend is my friend too.”

Taehyung nodded enthusiastically, very happy as if he had made a new friend. “Ne, no. Of course.”

Lisa smiled sweetly and then finally, excuse me. She still feels strange about Taehyung's change in attitude but Lisa is quite happy because at least her plan can go easier.

A little while later Jungkook returned to his desk and Taehyung with a tray filled with donuts, toppokki and juice. Taehyung gave a big smile welcoming the food.

“Eat a lot so that the spirit of the last hour lecture later.” Jungkook said with a smile.

Taehyung nodded in spirit. “Oh yes, Lisa your friend showed up. He asked you.”

“Lisa?” Jungkook's eyebrows shot up. He watched Taehyung carefully, so different was Taehyung's reaction and V's reaction to the woman. Taehyung seemed more relaxed and did not suspect anything, in contrast to V who bluntly showed his dislike.

“He thinks I'm his friend because I'm your friend.” Taehyung said as he unfolded a doughnut wrap. “I'm happy to make new friends, Kookie, hehe.”

Jungkook just smiled with relief. “Okay... Now we should spend this meal before college which will start in 30 minutes.”

That night Yoongi, Hoseok, Namjoon and Seokjin gather together in Yoongi's room. They made sure Taehyung was asleep because he did not want to involve the innocent vampire baby. Tonight they will try to use the Delicious Pasta VIP card that Jimin gave. Yoongi is ready with a laptop, he has prepared a barcode scanner to read the barcode on the card. Other vampires surrounded him to see what was on his laptop screen.

“Here we go..” muttered Yoongi and his fingers nimbly clicking this it on the laptop.

Hoseok gulped in tense saliva, Seokjin looked at the screen with a very serious face and Namjoon squeezed the end of the table tightly.

The last click of the mouse controlled by Yoongi is a sign that the barcode has been scanned and automatically redirects the website to a special site for VIP members Delicious Pasta. If the web publish for Delicious Pasta previously plain with pale and unattractive color, it is different from the special website VIP members. Anyone who saw it could instantly feel a dark, spooky and mysterious aura. Black and red colors such as blood color become dominant. On the screen appeared several thumbnails of videos about vampires.

“Oh God...” whispered Hoseok suddenly nauseous.

Seokjin hardened jaw saw thumbnails video with unsightly titles, such as “Torturing Vampire 2.0”, “Why vampire’s blood is good for human”, “How to serve Linguine”, <TAG1>Wy, “Pure blood :our best deal”. Maybe that's why VIP members are said to be facilitated with videos like this.

“They are depraved.” Namjoon commented. He clenched his hands tightly, wanting to destroy something.

Yoongi said nothing and clicked on the video titled “Torturing Vampire 2.0”. The 3-minute video shows a compilation of vampire-vampires locked up by a syndicate. Most vampires are unrecognizable due to their blackened skin due to over-exploitation. The vampires were locked up in their respective prisons with bars made of silver. There is also a condition that has been terrible, a body full of wounds here and there. Looks like the vampire tried to put up a fight but ended up suffering and tormenting.

“This is sickening.” said Hoseok turned his face can not stand to continue watching the show.

It's even more sickening because the humans in the video are whining, as if laughing at the captive vampires. One of them said, “This is the highest achievement of human civilization because we have sent the vampire demon into hell. See?”

“Barthy.” growled Namjoon. His eyes had already turned green due to his unstoppable anger.

“If seen, the number of their prisoners could be tens.” said Seokjin. She is concerned for vampires who are being detained and tortured.

“Not counting the vampires they created themselves.” Yoongi said after the video ended. He clicked on another video titled : “Pure blood : our best deal”.

The video contains a mini-documentary that shows humans turning into vampires. Some of the humans who wore white clothes like patients, appeared on top of the bed with various hoses entering his body. The face was already pale and there were black veins on the face. Some doctors or scientists are seen stirring liquid drugs that will be tested on the poor man.

“They really turned a human into a vampire.” said Seokjin, his eyes glistening furiously. “I think illegally piloted humans they can be illegally anyway, whether they kidnap him or get from human sales.”

“The people behind the syndicate are garbage.” Hoseok's eyes were already glazed over. He was very disappointed with what he had seen. So bad is the human behavior of this era. He is increasingly convinced that Taehyung was also one of the victims of the syndicate a few years ago.

“So they took the vampire venom and put it on a human?” said Yoongi thought seriously, “Dan may also include other medicines to meet the desires and qualities they want.”

“But they did it illegally.” Namjoon said, “They must not have known that their bodies would end up like that.”

“Not the pain and effects received.” added Seokjin. “Taehyung may be one of the successful test projects among other victims that ended in death.”

“They make mutant vampires.” says Yoongi. “I don't think much works because the reaction of the body and the resilience of each human is different.”

“We have to find where the headquarters of the syndicate is.” said Seokjin.

Yoongi. He scrolled the website down and found a booking menu for VIP members. The price offered is very bombastic, just like the price on the public website.

“We have to order first and will know where the location of the syndicate?” ask Hoseok.

“Ukh, very expensive.” comments Namjoon see the prices listed.

“And we still do not know why the most expensive ziti menu,” says Yoongi, “Ziti only for VVIP. How's this?” ask Yoongi on the Alpha, “Do we have to order Fettuccine?”

“Message only and transfer the money,” Seokjin said, “Uang will be nothing compared to the lives of the vampires locked up by them.”

Yoongi nodded and started making reservations. Namjoon exhaled loudly. “So after we transfer the money we will be told where is the location of the paste retrieval which is the location of the syndicate?”

“It should be so.” says Yoongi while his hands nimble at the keyboard.

Hoseok goosebumps looking at the screen when he sees that by ordering fettuccine, the buyer can order vampire organs. It turns out that Yoon-gi's prediction is true that the syndicate not only sells vampire blood but also the inside of the vampire's body. It's very sadistic.

Yoongi smiled thinly at the choice of orders: kidney, liver, spinal cord and cartilage. It's getting sicker as if this is a spelling site. It's become a difficult choice. If they order one of those options it means they're putting another vampire in pain.

“We know when we order it we're ordering another vampire organ.” For the first time, Yoon-gi's face looked stressed compared to before.

“Choose cartilage.” said Seokjin in a bitter tone.

“We have no choice,” said Namjoon, “Cartilage may be safer than other organs. Vampire can still move even though his collarbone was taken.”

“But imagine the way they took it...” Hoseok was unable to continue his words. It's too horrible.

Yoongi could not comment on Hoseok's remarks. His conscience is also actually screaming but if this way will make them able to free the captive vampire, maybe the sacrifice will be worth it.

Yoongi has completed the order and then appeared the account number given along with a statement that the address will be given H-1, while for this cartilage booking takes a week to process.

“Sial, long time too.” Namjoon sebal.

“If we have got the address, it does not take long for us to directly invade the location.” said Seokjin very seriously.

“Well, well, I will directly send a storm to that place.” growled Namjoon.

“Are we going to tell the vampire council, Jin?” ask Yoongi.

“I'm still considering it.” replied Seokjin. “Telling the vampire council that we can't move freely, they might ban us from killing. While I think the people in the syndicate deserve to die.”

Yongi nodded in agreement. “You can tell Jackson only, maybe his clan can help us to attack.”

“Yeah..” sahut Seokjin agree on the opinion of the dhampir.

The door of the room opened slowly, the four vampires turned towards the door in shock at Taehyung's arrival. Did their discussion wake the baby vampire?

“Hyungie..?” tanya Taehyung with a hoarse voice. He rubbed his eyes because he was still very sleepy. At the moment Taehyung wearing pokemon pajamas makes him look very adorable.

“Taehyung, are you awake?” seokjin asked trying to stay ordinary. Hoseok and Namjoon who originally bent around Yoon-gi now stand up more upright, but try to stay relaxed. However Taehyung cannot know what they are seeing.

“I woke up...” says Taehyung innocent, “What are you guys doing?”

Yoongi immediately closed the Delicious Pasta website. “We're just ordering human blood, Tae. Supplies in the refrigerator are getting less.”

Hoseok nodded, trying to convince the words of Yoon-gi.

Taehyung looked at his hyung one by one. Honestly, he wondered why they did it on a late night like this and usually the only one who made reservations was Yoon-gi.

“Kajja...” Namjoon advanced near Taehyung and embrace the vampire's shoulder, “I'll make you hot chocolate, how? So you can sleep better.”

Taehyung just nodded.

“Mian, we woke you up, Tae.” said Hoseok.

“Anniya, gwaenchana..” Share Taehyung. He lets himself be taken away by Namjoon to leave Yoongi's room.

****

That night at around seven p.m., Taehyung and Jungkook took a walk by the deserted riverbank. When Jungkook will drive him home as usual, Taehyung requests to enjoy the night breeze with Jungkook in this place.

Taehyung constantly checks Jungkook's situation, seeing if Jungkook is really okay. And tonight Taehyung intends to ask his human friend everything.

“Cuacanya good.” said Jungkook while looking at the bright night sky.

“Jungkookie..” Taehyung says start. Jungkook. “I don't know if this is the right time. But there's something I want to talk about.”

“Hmm, about what, Tae?” tanya Jungkook still had a fair expression.

“I know that in me there is another personality, Vincent.” Taehyung said. Jungkook's facial features changed instantly. “And as long as we switch, I can't remember what V has done. That's why I don't remember my past.”

Jungkook stared intently at Taehyung, waiting for what his friend was really trying to say.

“I feel stupid, I can't help anything,” muttered Taehyung held his lips back from shaking, “I feel the weakest.”

“Tae, what are you talking about this.” Jungkook holds the vampire's arm. “You are not weak.”

Taehyung's eyes began to glaze over, why should he cry at a time like this. He did not understand why he had to become a personality that could disappear and disappear at any time. Taehyung also wants to have his own life, being the holder of control over his life. He wants to enjoy life without being overshadowed by a past he doesn't know at all. It's so weird.

“If I could.. I would switch so that V could destroy the syndicate,” isak Taehyung, “But I don't have the ability to switch either. I know you want him to show up, Kookie.”.

“It's not like that, Taehyung..” Jungkook said to be sad.

“I do not feel free, can not control my own life.” Taehyung covered his face with two hands and cried sobbing. He didn't want to show himself like this to Jungkook. He invites a walk in fact so that the atmosphere relaxes is not sad this way.

“Tae, Tae!” Jungkook held Taehyung's hand that covered that face. “No matter if you remember your past or not, you are my friend. You stay the same for me.” Jungkook wiped away the tears on Taehyung's cheeks hoping the vampire could be calmer. “I accept you as you are. Same with V.”

Taehyung looked at Jungkook and saw earnestness in Jungkook's eyes. Taehyung also nodded. He was moved because Jungkook's magic-like words could calm him.

“We will find a solution to this problem, okay?” jungkook said with a smile and rubbed the remains of the vampire tears.

“OK...” muttered Taehyung replied with a smile.

“Kajja... we should find a place to eat, in this quiet place there is nothing we can eat.”

Taehyung poked and according. The two walked towards their parked car some distance away at the end when suddenly a black van stopped in front of them.

Everything was like a matter of seconds, four big-bodied men came out and two of them immediately held Jungkook. Jungkook's stomach was punched twice making Jungkook unable to wince due to severe pain in his liver.

“Kookie!!” taehyung exclaimed in panic at this situation. There were others who were holding it too. “Let go, release me!!”

Taehyung's head was hit by another man using a hammer made of iron. The vampire instantly went limp, his head in a lot of pain. Blood flowed out from Taehyung's head.

“Tae!” exciting Jungkook. He tried to gather all his strength and ignore the pain in his stomach. He tries to get away from the two people who hold him because he has to save Taehyung. But someone from behind covered his mouth with a handkerchief that had been drugged.

Jungkook's body became increasingly limp due to loss of consciousness. He could only stare at Taehyung who fell to the floor with blood pouring out of his head. He had to save Taehyung. “Andwae..”

Jungkook was taken into the van. His body was numb due to the anesthetic made him unable to fight even to move his hands.

“Bring him in.” said one of the men to tell his friends to carry the body of Taehyung who fainted into the car.

Jungkook's eyes closed. I hope things don't get worse..
