"D-dad?"

Taehyung's father lifted his eyebrow once he noticed his son. For a second it was obvious that he was surprised but he then quickly masked it.

"Son!" He smiled widely, showing off his blood-stained teeth. "I should have known you would still be alive and kicking," he stood up as he spoke. He stepped over the female body on the floor like it was nothing and came closer to Taehyung.

Taehyung was frozen on the spot. His mind was all over the place and he couldn't think straight.

"You are my son after all," his father spread his arms in a gesture for Taehyung to hug him. But the boy didn't move. He couldn't even process what was happening, let alone move. His father didn't seem to mind and with his signature smirk that gave Taehyung the chills, he hugged him.

"Father?" Taehyung whimpered. His dad squeezed him harder. He passed it off as a nice gesture, but it brought a lot of unwanted memories to Taehyung. When he was little his father often did it if they were in public and Taehyung 'misbehaved'. He would pretend to be a nice and caring father while people were around, hugging and caressing his son - only to leave bruises all over Taehyung's skin. But those were nothing compared to what Taehyung would get once they were home, inside their four walls.

His father moved away and gazed into Taehyung's eyes with his bloodshot ones.

"Are you... are you a vampire?" Taehyung shakily asked. It was a stupid question. He was aware that his father was indeed a vampire but something was stopping him from processing it all.

"Ah, son..." His father walked past him. Taehyung stood frozen while his father walked into to kitchen to grab a wine glass. He came back moving to a further corner where a small mini fridge was located. While he was walking towards it, he carelessly stepped over the body on the floor and Taheyung gulped at the sight of his dead stepmother. It was horrifying and he had to look away, the image would haunt his dreams for sure. He winced and looked back towards his father at the sound of the door slamming. His father was draining a blood bag and emptying it out into a wine glass. "My dear, dear son..." He brought the glass to his lips and took a sip while staring at Taehyung.

"Isn't it obvious? Yes, I've been a vampire for a while. And I gotta tell you..."

Jungkook glanced at Hoseok. Both of them were getting a bit antsy but Hoseok masked it better. Jungkook really wasn't trying. And Hoseok wasn't having it.

"Jungkook, calm down!"

"He's been in there for five minutes already," Jungkook instantly fired up.

"And that's fine," Hoseok argued. "He couldn't have gotten all the stuff he needed already, I'm sure. Let's just calmly wait for him," Hoseok sent a meaningful look to Jungkook but the younger just put on his bratty face and crossed his arms. "Emphasis on calmly," Hoseok added.

Jungkook decided to stay quiet but as more minutes passed by (or hours if you ask him) he couldn't help but feel increasingly nervous. Hoseok was also worried and after seeing Jungkook's nervous tics start kicking in (like pinching his skin, shaking his legs, playing with and cracking his fingers; and more) he had to stop it.

"Hey, let's go upstairs to check up on him, hmm?" Hoseok asked and Jungkook was standing up straight in no time, nodding his head vigorously.

They walked up a few stairs when Jungkook suddenly stopped.

"Jungkook, what is it?"

"Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"It sounded like glass shattering." The two of them shared a worried look and in the next second Jungkook was running up the stairs. Luckily, Hoseok was fast enough and had great reflexes. He grabbed Jungkook by the back of his t-shirt before he could run off further away.

"Taehyung!"

"Jungkook stop!" Hoseok hissed.

Jungkook still tried to run away while he argued, "Tae could be in danger Hoseok!"

Hoseok was ready to argue with the younger in hopes of reasoning with him, even though he doubted he would listen. But he didn't need to as a couple of moments later they saw Taehyung hastily going down the stairs. He looked panicked and once he noticed them he stopped for a second, his facial expression changing to a more neutral one, but the panic was still obvious in his eyes as he continued dashing down.

"Run!"

Hoseok and Jungkook immediately obeyed, running on their fight or flight responses.

They rushed out of the building but Taehyung didn't stop running and neither did Jungkook nor Hoseok.

"Taehyung! Come back here you little brat!" angry screaming could be heard in the distance as they fled down the street.

Jungkook took a risk and glanced back.

"Taehyung, is that your fricking father?"

Taehyung nodded, barely breathing. "I'll explain later," he tried to catch his breath, "we have to get to safety first."

They kept running down the streets but that only attracted the attention of some other people. Possibly and most likely vampires. Now they had no idea who was chasing them, but someone was and they couldn't afford to stop now.

"Fuck."

Jungkook noticed about 3 or 5 figures, all of them hot on their trail.

"We should split up!" They all agreed and when they reached a crossroad Hoseok took a left and Jungkook & Taehyung turned right.

Taehyung looked over his shoulder. "Jungkook we were supposed to split up," he panted.

"Yea, but you didn't say where you were going. Besides, I'm not leaving you," Jungkook retorted having no trouble speaking even while running.

It soon became obvious that almost all of the people chasing them decided to follow the younger duo. And that they were definitely vampires.

Somehow the vampires kept appearing in the middle of the streets, blocking off Taehyung's and Jungkook's path making them take random turns in hopes of getting away.

But soon, almost predictably, they got cornered.

"Shit!"

They turned around to see about five vampires blocking off their exit.

"Fuck," Taehyung cursed under his breath.

"You two are humans," the one with blue hair spoke matter-of-factly, looking uninterested.
"How are you even still here?" the shortest one asked confused.
(He wasn't really short, only a centimeter or less shorter than Jungkook and Taehyung. Meaning all others were taller. Which did not help them not feel intimidated, despite how young-looking the vampires seemed to be.)
"You're coming with us," the one closest to them spoke. Jungkook thought he was probably the leader of their group. Taehyung thought about how they didn't seem to have any intention of hurting them. Yet. He wasn't gonna bet on it. They needed to escape. Back to their cabin. Their home. Their save haven.

"No," Jungkook refused before Taehyung could say anything.

Most of the vampires sighed. "If you don't want to come willingly I guess we have no other way..."

Two of them grabbed them but Taekook wasn't having it.

"Don't touch me! Let me go!"

"He told you to let him go! You're hurting him," Taehyung tried to shake the guy off of Jungkook but he was held back too. "Hey, stop it."

"Let go!"

Surprisingly, that worked.

The vampires stopped what they were doing.

But not because of anything Taehyung or Jungkook did.

"What's going on here?" a new voice demanded.

Jungkook looked with wide doe eyes as a figure literally dropped from the sky with amazing elegance. Taehyung stared with furrowed eyebrows at the boy in tight leather jeans, a red and black striped silk shirt (with the first few buttons unbuttoned), and a black coat over it. He had his pink hair pushed back and silver earrings dangling from his ears. And he seemed oddly familiar.

Without another word from the new guy all the other vampires let go of and moved away from Jungkook and Taehyung. They all stepped before him, forming a line, their heads bowed slightly.

Jungkook felt relief but Taheyung was still nervous because the new guy obviously had more power and while he stopped the other from harassing them there was no guarantee he wouldn't do something worse to them.

"You will leave these two. No one is allowed to touch them. From now on, they belong to me."

The guy kept his eyes locked on both Taehyung and Jungkook while he spoke loudly and clearly. Then he turned to the five that were in a line behind him to make sure they understood him. They all nodded and bowed.

"Yes, master Jimin."

Taehyung finally remembered where the mysterious guy was familiar from.
