Taehyung's POV

"Hello, my son"

"No... No it can't be! You're dead..."

He tried to make an attempt to cup my cheeks but I flicked his hand away, "Don't touch me"

He took a step back, raising his hand in defeat. "It's okay. I understand why you're acting this way but please give me a chance to explain"

"No"

"But, son..."

"Don't call me that" I said as I started to walk off leaving the older man who claimed to be my dad.

I witnessed my dad die right before my eyes, how can it be that he's still alive.

I clenched my fist, about to run home when the older man started singing...

Hush now, my baby
Be still, love, don't cry
Sleep as you're rocked by the stream

That lullaby..

My facial expression starts to change. I stopped on my tracks and turned around to look at him.

Sleep and remember
My last lullaby
So I'll be with you when you dream

He then looks up at me with full gentleness in his eyes, a tear streamed down his cheek.

"D-dad...?" I managed to mutter out, still trying to process this moment in my mind.

"Come here, son" he took a few steps forward and bear hugged me. My knees felt weak. I couldn't help but to be drawn by his embrace.

"Dad.. Dad.. It's really you.. Dad..." i said in between sobs, tightening the hug. Nobody knows about this lullaby except my family. We pulled back after having a short father-son moment.

I then felt a vibration and i dug my phone out from my pocket to answer a call from Jungkook. I excused myself from my dad before accepting the call.

JK: Babe where are you?
Tae: Sorry, babe. Got held up.
JK: With what? Or who? Hurry home please.
Tae: I'll explain everything later.
JK: Alright. Come back home now
Tae: As you wish, your majesty.

With that, I ended the call and invited my dad home with me. I'm sure he owes me a long ass story.

Back home

I was greeted by Jungkook's warm hug at the door entrance and the first question which pops out from his mouth was, "Who is that with you?" And then he turns to look at the older stranger.

I cleared my throat and introduced my dad to Jungkook who had the same jaw dropping reaction as I did. "But I thought you said he was-" I shush his lips and explained the short fiesta which happened earlier as we slowly walk in the house to the living room. Jungkook mouthed an 'O' and nodded his head.

He then apologized and bowed to greet my dad who returns the greeting with a smile and it's okay, little one.

I pour my dad some fine wine, telling him to make himself at home. His eyes darted around the spacious living room, scanning every corner. While his at it, I went up to check up on Jimin together with Jungkook.

The moment I saw Jimin looking all better now, happily talking with Hoseok and Yoongi, I couldn't ask for a better view than this. Jimin is gradually healing. His peeled skin is going back to its natural state, his face isn't as charcoal black as before.

Guess they fed him more blood bags so it'll circulate throughout his body. Now all we have to do is wait for Jimin's body to adapt again. The only problem now is, since Jin took his daylight ring, Jimin can't step outside or he'll be burned by the sun.

Don't worry, buddy, I'll get it back for you.

"Tae!"

I ran up to him, giving him a tight brotherly hug. "Don't.. Squeeze.. Me. It.. Still.. Hurts"

"Oh sorry! I miss you, douchebag. You got me all worried yesterday"

"Yeah I know. Hoseok and Yoongi hyung told me that 'someone' was damn worried that I was gonna die" he said sarcastically and giggled.

I nudged him, "Not funny, Jimin. Say, I'm not the only one, those two hyungs were more than worried for you" I smirked at both Hoseok and Yoongi who exchanged glances with each other.

"N-nonsense" Hoseok stuttered, scratching the back of his head.

"Y-yeah, Tae. N-nonsense" Yoongi mimic the same thing

"Oh really?" I went closer to both of them, "Want me to say it out to Jimin?" I teased.

"That's it. I'm out of here"

"Yoongi, wait for me!"

Jungkook squinted his eyes at me knowing well what I would say to Jimin about the hyung's 'confession' the previous night. I went over to him and softly kiss his lips leaving him blushing for awhile there.

Jungkook teasingly smacked my back and i pouted. He then pulled me in for another kiss, a longer heated one this time.

Jimin cleared his throat, "Get a room guys" he threw a pillow at me. We pulled away from the kiss and giggled.

"My bad. Hey buddy, do you think you can walk now? There's someone important I need to introduce you to"

He nodded his head, slowly pushing up his body while Jungkook and I assisted him.

"Piggyback me instead, pleaseeee" he flashed me a wide grin.

"Alright alright, hop on"

I bend down and with the help of Jungkook, Jimin slowly clung on to my neck as I placed my arms underneath his legs to secure it before gently lifting him up.

"Be careful" Jungkook said and stood behind us, for extra support.

As we were about to leave the room, Hoseok shouted from downstairs, "Tae! There's an older man who looks like you here! Come down quick!"

"Older man? Looks like you? No way.." Jimin was already suspicious.

"You'll see"

As we slowly went downstairs to the living room, my two hyungs were 'scanning' my dad from head to toe. Looking at how his features are similar to mine, just way older.

"Man.. Is he your doppelgänger or something Tae?" Suga questioned, still observing my dad's features.

"Relax" I comforted and slowly placed Jimin down on the couch.

"Listen up everyone, I want to introduce you all to my dad"

As expected, they had the same jaw dropping reaction as mine. All eyes were now diverted to my dad and their faces were blank as hell, question marks painted all over their faces as if to ask how? What? When?

Eventually the cheerful one broke the awkward silence. He went towards my dad introducing himself followed by a formal bow. Yoongi did the same after. Whereas Jimin, he humbly half bowed from his seat.

"You do remember, Jimin, don't you dad?" I ruffled his hair, "He always play around with me when we were little"

"Ahh yes. You nickname him ChimChim while he calls you TaeTae"

Oh so he does remember.

"So dad, you owe me an almost a decade long explanation. How come are you still alive? 5 years have passed and if you were alive before this, why didn't you come look for me? Why only now.." My tone was a little sad towards the end but i managed to maintain my cool.

The rest of us were planted to our seats, like kids eagerly waiting for the storyteller to begin the story.

Dad took a sip from his wine glass before starting, "Yes of course. Time for a flashback"

Year 1995
The year you were born. Your mum and I couldn't be more than happy to have such a beautiful, healthy, precious newborn baby. You were so delicate. The moment your mum held you in her arms, she couldn't stop crying tears of joy while I caressed your soft chubby cheeks. She sworn with her life that she would do anything to protect you. She wouldn't want to lose yet another child.

I interrupted, "Wait, what? Another child?"

"Yes, son. I'm going to that part"

I apologized and let him continue.

Before you were born, 2 years back, in 1993, your mum and I had our first child together. His name is SungOh. He was just as gorgeous as you are but sadly, we have to give him away since we were poor and I was still a lost 19 year old teenager who had no idea of parenthood. One kind couple offered us a generous amount in exchange for SungOh. Thus, we agreed. Your mum was devastated but she knew this was the only way we could continue living at that point of time.

However, your mum isn't dumb, she coil around a protection amulet around SungOh's wrist so she can sense his presence even no matter how far he is. Informing the couple to never ever remove it. That was her last wish to them before giving her first newborn away.

During that 2 year gap, your mum practice witchcraft. Increasing her power but I know that was just an excuse to distract herself from the depression of losing her first child away. That's why 2 years later when you were born, she started smiling again and as you know, she cast a spell on you to turn you into a vampire so you'll be immortal.

What you didn't know is, right before the killing massacre happened, she gave me this Gilbert Ring. It's to protect humans like me from being killed by supernaturals. I did wake up a couple days later but sadly, you weren't there.

"Err yeah. I couldn't handle the agony so I dashed out and became a.. Ripper. Anyway dad, by any chance did mum kill a.. Female vampire?"

He nodded, "Her best friend"

Our eyes widened. "W-what happened?" I asked.

Another flashback
There's this ritual called 'Sacrifice of 12 vampires' on every full moon. The witches does that to increase their magic power and strength. Plus witches and vampires never get along but for your mum, she love her best friend so much but she had to choose between you and her best friend for the 12th sacrifice. At that point of time, she was over at her house but she wasn't alone, one of the witches leader followed her too to make sure she killed one more vampire to complete the ritual.

Her best friend had a child named Seokjin who is a couple years older than you. He was a lovely kid alright. He always smile and help his mum out, mummy's boy they say. He even used to come over and tutor you. Your mum was under pressure, the witch leader eyeing her every move. It's either you kill her or I'll take your son away was what the elder witch said.

Your mum had sworn to do anything to protect you so she dashed forward to her best friend and slit her throat. Seokjin who was walking from the kitchen to the living room who actually wanted to serve them drinks, witnessed the killing, he dropped everything down and ran over to his mum. I-I'm sorry, your mum said but was violently pulled out by the elderly witch, leaving Seokjin crying with his mother on his arms.

All of us were too lost for words. Now I'm having second thoughts in killing Jin. He was just a broken child who lost his beloved mum. Just like.. Me.

Just as I was about to ask my dad another question, the vamp girl entered the living room.

"S-sorry to interrupt but I'm h-hungry"

I took a blood bag from the table and threw it to her "Catch", I said.

She caught it, "Err no. I'm hungry for food. Normal food please" she pleaded.

I let out a heavy sigh. Well I did fed her my blood and turned her into a vampire so she is my responsibility now.

"Alright alright, kiddo. Pizza sound good?"

"Yes please, can I have the pepperoni with extra-"

"Shush you. I will decide on the flavors and toppings" I grinned at her just not to scare her off than I already did the first time.

"Yeah Tae, pizza sounds awesome" Hoseok cheered

"Dudeee make sure to take the cheesy crust" Wow even Yoongi added in.

"Oh oh oh! Extra bacon. Bacon is life" Jimin exclaimed.

"Order the large one please babe!" The younger one got up and wrap his arms around my neck.

The intense atmosphere gradually lighten up. I guess it's nice to have a younger girl with us. She's cute by the way.

"Erm can I have a say in this too?"

I chuckled, "Yeah sure dad"

"Don't forget to ask for extra packets of chili flakes and cheese powder"

Wow dad, guess you keep up with the new era huh. I giggled at the thought of that. I went over to the corner to make my call. While at it, I saw the vamp girl sitting down beside Yoongi since that was the only empty seat.

I eavesdrop as usual.

"Hi I'm Lee Yoora"

"Eh? You talking to me?"

"Ah ya who else?" She rolled her eyes.

"I'm Yoongi, 93 liner. How old are you?"

"97 liner. I have a younger sister, Lee Yoona. Is it okay if I uh invite her over? It's 2 days now, she's worried and my cellphone is busted"

"You have to ask Tae about that. This is his house. Shouldn't you inform your parents first?"

"They.. Died. A couple years back, in a plane crash during their business trip to France"

"Oh. Sorry. You can use my cellphone. Go shoo, make the call now"

"It's okay. Kamsa kamsa" she then went to a corner to ring up her sister.

I ended my call and announced that pizza would be here in 30-45 minutes. I glance over at Yoora, who was still talking to her sister over the phone. She ended the call as soon as I walked closer.

"I'm sorry.. Is it okay if-" I cut her mid sentence.

"Yes you can invite your sister over and even let her stay with you here if you want"

She was lost for words. "B-but how did you.."

"Secret" I smiled and ruffled her fringe since her long brunette hair was always braided. "You'll slowly adapt to being a vampire and one day you'll thank me, kiddo"

She chuckled. "My sister would be here in awhile. Please treat her well" she bowed. I nodded and flashed her a reassuring smile.

There was still time before pizza arrive so I went back to my dad and asked yet another question.

"So dad, what were you doing before this?"

"I sell daylight rings to newly turned vampires. Now I would like you to have one pouch of it, son", he then handed it over. "There's only 10 rings. Use it wisely"

My eyes gleamed. I can give it to Jimin and Yoora! I immediately gave one to each of them.

"Thanks, dad! You have no idea how happy you make me feel!" I went over and hug him.

He patted my back, "My pleasure, son. Anyway, can we have a private father-son time now?"

"Sure dad" I excused myself from the rest and went up to my room with dad.

I shut the door and lock it.

"Alright, so what is it dad?"

"Taehyung, my son.. I'm sorry. All these while you thought I was dead and here I am barging in your life, 5 years later. However, please know that I love you so very much. This is why I want you to have this"

He passed me a scroll together with a sharp blade. He said the blade could kill any type of vampire, even an Original. As for the scroll, he said to only open it when necessary. All he said was, you'll need it sooner or later.

We bear hug each other. I couldn't help but smile knowing that I have my dad by my side again.

"Oh by the way, you and that Jungkook kid, you guys together?"

"Heh yeah" I scratched the back of my head, "I hope you approve of us though. I truly love him"

"Yes of course, son. Whatever makes you happy, kiddo"

I screamed "yay!" And gave my dad a kiss on his forehead before leaving my room and down to the living room where everyone is happily eating pizza.

It's here earlier than expected.

"Heyyy wait for me!"

Jungkook went over and fed me his pizza slice. "Thanks babe. Love you" I grinned.

"Love you too" he kissed my cheek.

Everyone was enjoying and super distracted with pizza talking about how delicious it is and 'hey that's mine' 'No it's mine'

Then there's a doorbell, I open the door to see a young girl with curly long auburn hair and hazel eyes along with 2 big pink luggages.

"Yoona!"

"Yoora!"

They both ran towards each other, giving a tight body squeeze.

"Oh! Let me introduce you to, Mr Kim Taehyung"

"Naww come on. Don't be so formal please. Just call me Taehyung"

Yoona stared at me in awe, "Mr Kim, you're so handsome"

"Yoona! D-don't say that"

I couldn't help but laugh. "It's okay, come in and make yourself at home"

"Let's go to our room Yoona! We got so much to catch up on!" They both ran excitedly to their room.

I shake my head. Looks like I have 2, wait no, 3 younger ones to look after. Don't worry, I didn't forget my Kookiebae.

I went back to the rest. Everyone was happily eating but wait, where's dad?

"Hey guys, where's my dad?"

"Oh he said he needed to go to the bathroom" Hoseok answered.

"Since just now?"

"Yeah about ten minutes ago"

My gut tells me something is wrong so I decided to check up on him. Just when I was about to walk over to the bathroom, guess who unexpectedly barge in. This time not only with his lover but along with a redhead and white haired dude.

"Looking for daddy?" Jin took hold of my dad, pointing a knife to his neck.

"Seokjin, let my dad go this instant!"

The rest of them was up from their seat, all geared up. Even Jimin.

"One more step from any of you, this old geezer is dead!"

Jungkook spoke up, "Jin. What is it that you want this time!"

"What I want?" He let out a maniacal laugh. "Is to do this" he harshly slit my dad's throat and tossed his body down. He then took out my dad's Gilbert Ring to prevent him from getting back to life.

I ran over to my dad, resting his head on my lap, "Nooooo.... Dad.. Not again... No no no no nooo" tears continuously streamed down my cheeks. Jungkook couldn't help but to just leave me be.

"How does it feel, Kim Taehyung, to watch your dad die the same way your mum killed mine?"

"You bloody bastard!" I dashed forward to attack him but was stopped by a powerful spell the redhead cast.

Yoongi managed to surpassed me and was so close to hitting Jin when he spoke, "I'll be careful if I were you. Wouldn't want the whitehead werewolf to bite you. Werewolf bites are lethal for you weaklings aren't they?" He smirked.

"What do I care" I heard Jungkook murmured under his breath and went to attack the white haired guy.

"Jungkook no!" I shouted.

"Tae, go! Kill him off!"

I took out the blade from my back pocket. Hoseok and Yoongi were busy fighting off with Namjoon and the redhead witch, trying their very best to not let anyone near Jimin. Everyone was distracted, now is my chance.

I was inches away from killing Jin when he quickly super speed to and fro, using his lover as shield. I ended up stabbing Namjoon instead who was choking on his last few words to Jin, "I.. Thought... You.. Love.. Me.."

"No honey, I was just using you" his body fell flat on the floor while the blade slowly seep in his decomposed body.

"You monster..."

"Yes I am. The next time round, I'll make sure you're dead" he threatened me before leaving with his minions.

I went back to ask whether everyone was alright when I heard Yoongi cussed, "Oh shit" his eyes focused on Jungkook who was rolling down his sleeves.

"Jungkook roll up your sleeves"

"It's nothing, Tae"

"Babe, please"

He rolled up his sleeves and revealed a deep werewolf bite. He look up at me with those sad puppy eyes and said..

"I don't have much time left, Tae"
