Chapter 4

"Who are you?"

Hyunjin asked the vampire.

He got no response.

"I asked who are you?"

Hyunjin tried again. But the other was just staring at him.

Hyunjin had enough so he just waved his hand in front of the other.

That made the vampire come out of his daze.

"What?"

Hyunjin sighed and repeated his question.

"I asked who...are...you?"

"Well my name is Jungkook and if you ask about who I actually am..." Jungkook flashed a smirk "...my fangs are enough to answer that."

Hyunjin stared at Jungkook.

"Why are you here?" Hyunjin asked timidly. It was as if he didn't fear the vampire. Every human trembles when they see a vampire but Hyunjin...he was a different case altogether.

Jungkook's smirk disappeared in an instant. He couldn't smell the fear in the other male. Vampires have the ability to smell blood and by smelling the blood they could analyse the moods of the humans. And Jungkook had never encountered a human who didn't smell like fear at all.

Instead he looked tired and done.

Jungkook gawped at Hyunjin, completely ignoring the question the latter asked.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

Hyunjin ignored his question too. He was looking timid and heartbroken.

Jungkook was in a complete daze.

Who is this dude? He doesn't fucking fear me. What happened to him? I have never seen a person who has so much sadness in them.

Jungkook thought.

"Hey you, you are just a mere human and you don't even fear a vampire? Do you even know who I am? I am a high official vampire. I could kill you this instant", Jungkook snapped at him.

The moment Hyunjin heard the words 'mere human', his blood boiled. His timidness slowly converted into fury.

Hyunjin snarled. "Quite narcissistic, aren't you 'Mr. High Official fangs' ?!?"

Well that took a turn.

"Hey you know what, I am in no mood to fight. I will just kill you right here."

Jungkook smoke-stepped to Hyunjin. The latter just stared at the former with an expression he couldn't understand. Jungkook couldn't fathom what was going on inside the redhead's head.

Jungkook invaded Hyunjin's personal space. Hyunjin removed the lighter from between them. His expression returned to becoming timid and sad, his anger completely dissolved.

Does this one have some mood swings problem? One moment he is feral and the next moment he becomes timid.

Jungkook thought as he looked into Hyunjin's eyes. For the first time ever, Jungkook showed an interest in a person, much less a human. There was an inner voice calling out to Jungkook, telling him to stop.

They both looked into each other's eyes. Jungkook could smell his blood. A virgin.

He already wanted to dig his fangs into his neck but he held back. His hunger seemed bearable at that moment.

"Why don't you fear me? Don't you fear death?" Jungkook spoke in a hushed tone.

The lighter was moved away from between them, his smooth skin inviting the vampire. Hyunjin was actually inviting the vampire instead of defending himself.

Jungkook was confused.

Hyunjin just shook his head to the previous questions. No...he surely wasn't afraid of death.

Actually...

He was frightened of living.

The vampire couldn't bring himself to do anything. He just wanted to stare into those deep brown eyes which had Jungkook drowning into them.

"What is your name?"

"Hyunjin", he whispered.

"Are you willing to let me drink from you?"

Hyunjin didn't say anything.

Jungkook had never waited so long to feed from his prey, but there was something about Hyunjin that made him forget his hunger but also increased his hunger. Quite strange, right?

Jungkook simply nodded towards his neck and that was it, Hyunjin closed his eyes, pursed his lips and tilted his head, waiting.

Waiting...

Waiting for Jungkook to dig his fangs...

He felt piercing pain on the side of his neck. He squeezed his eyes shut as a single drop of tear escaped his eyes, trailing down his cheek, his chin and finally it dropped to the floor.

He was waiting...

Images of his brother, Chan and Felix flashed through his mind. The already broken heart breaking even more as he reminisced those memories, the memories before the whole thing went down.

Waiting...

Hyunjin remembered the nights he tried to kill himself. The marks that he had on his thighs, tattooing themselves not only on his body but also his heart.

His head had simply emptied. His heart was pumping so fast he couldn't feel it anymore. His body was becoming numb. His legs were going limp as blackness swept over his head.

His problems won't haunt him anymore.

His inner turmoil started dissolving into nothingness.

He was slowly feeling nothing except tranquillity. He felt like he was floating. His head empty of any worry or any problem.

Quiet and peaceful...nothing to be afraid of...it felt nice.

Peace.

That was what he felt.

That is what death makes you feel.

He was waiting...

Waiting for death.
