Seokjin woke up in the room he was in before, Joowon was next to him.
"Namjoon! Namjoon he's awake." Namjoon rushed upstairs to check on him.
"Thank God, you had me worried, Seokjin. What happened to you?" Namjoon saw when Joowon left the room for him to talk to Seokjin in private. Seokjin stared at Namjoon in silence before saying anything.
"I should have told you sooner, but I wanted to survive last night at the event." He sat up with Namjoon's help.
"I can't eat human food. It makes my body get weak and often puts me to sleep without me realizing it."
They continued to talk until Seokjin felt energized like before. When Namjoon made sure Seokjin was feeling better, he left him lying down in bed and switched his computer on.
"How is he?" Joowon asked.
"He's alright." Namjoon replied while typing quickly. His brother didn't ask him anymore questions, he just sat down on a couch that was a little more farther away from where Namjoon was sitting.
The doctor researched what could happen if a vampire has consumed human food and over 10,000 results popped up. He clicked on the first link he found, hoping it would lead him to finding out what was wrong with Seokjin.
So many said:
"Vampires don't digest food normally like humans do, so they just drink blood."
"Vampires can't eat food, they will cough it up."
"Vampires only need blood to live."
While others said:
"Vampires can eat human food."
"Vampires can eat food daily like any regular human being."
"Although they can eat food, Vampires mostly survive on blood."
So many results, and Namjoon didn't know what to opinionate.
"It's alright, I'm here."
"Thank you." Namjoon heard noises coming from the bathroom. He put his computer down and went to check out where they were coming from. He found Seokjin bend over the toilet seat and Joowon rubbing his back to comfort him.
"Are you throwing up?" Seokjin nodded without staring at Namjoon.
The young man went towards Seokjin.
"It's okay." He copied the action his brother was previously doing and rubbed the vampire's back to support him.
~~~
Namjoon never gave Seokjin human food ever since that day, and when he stopped, the man started to gain his energy back and seemed happier than before.
"I'm heading to my new job interview today. The old one wasn't paying well enough and the place was overall pretty unsanitary." He spoke over the phone with Yoongi.
"I quit mine too. Hoseok and I own a coffee shop now and we would like you to visit it someday." Namjoon agreed.
"Yeah, I'll head over there any day, man." It's been a long time since he had spoken with his best friend, he kind of missed talking to him.
"Thanks. So tell me: Would you ever consider going back to your old job?" An image of Seokjin popped up into Namjoon's head. He saw the man smiling and acting so happy around him.
"No amount of money could ever make me go back to that hospital, Yoongi. Money can't buy happiness." A loud outburst of laughter was heard from the other line.
"If money can't buy happiness, then how do you explain my new coffee shop? That's going to make me happy for years!" Yoongi and Hoseok giggled.
"Yeah? I'm guessing you two don't need anything else but money to make you happy then,
so of course you wouldn't mind living separately, right?" The laughter stopped.
"Money doesn't mean everything in the world to me." Hoseok said.
"Thought so." Namjoon later on hung up as he had arrived at the new hospital building.
He found something shiny on the bottom of his car seat.
"Hello there, old friend." It was his camera. He remembered all of the good times and not so good times he had when recording his old videos at the hospital.
"I won't be using you any time soon... I don't feel alone anymore." He put the camera away and got out of the car.
"Time for a new start."
He inhaled deeply, releasing all of his stress into thin air before walking to the building. It was more modern than the old one, and he read the reviews of it online and from what he could see, there were no bad reviews. Most of them had four to five stars and positive feedback, so he knew this was a safer environment than the other hospital.
"Good morning, I'm Kim Namjoon. It's nice to meet you, sir." He shook the man's hand while taking a seat.
"Good morning, Kim Namjoon. Tell me a little bit about yourself." A woman crossed her arms. She seemed nice.
~~~
"Welcome to your new job, Dr. Kim!" She congratulated him.
"Thank you so much! When do I start?"
"Today." Namjoon was happy.
"Thank you, I won't let you down, boss!" He exited her office.
"I can't wait to tell Seokjin."
~~~
"Seokjin, I'm home, sweetheart. I got the job!!"
Silence.
"Seokjin!" Namjoon happily called out to the man. He even ran upstairs and opened the door to his room, expecting the man to be sitting on the bed or something.
But everywhere he searched, the apartment appeared to be empty.
"Seokjin?" He grabbed his keys.
"Where could he be? He couldn't just disappear. What if the crazy people from the old hospital found him?" Bad thoughts surrounded the man's head.
He turned his head to see all of the people in the streets and paid close attention to their faces. None of them were Seokjin. Not a single one.
There were too many places in Seoul that he could easily get lost in. Namjoon was about to lose his mind when he received a phone call.
It was his brother's phone number.
"Joowon, can I call you back, please?" Namjoon got an unexpected reply.
"Dr. Kim, it's me." He immediately recognized that voice.
"Seokjin!? Where are you?"
"Don't get mad at Joowon, your brother was only being nice and decided to take me out of the apartment for a while." As long as Seokjin was alright, then Namjoon didn't mind his brother taking him out of the house. What's the worst that could happen, right?
"That's okay. Which park or beach are you located at?" A long silence took over.
"Seokjin where did Joowon take you to?" Namjoon was becoming a little bit impatient.
"He didn't take me to any of those locations, sir. I'm in his house." Namjoon turned his flicker on to switch directions immediately.
"Okay, I'll be there in about one hour maybe, depending on the traffic. Where is my brother anyways?"
Namjoon didn't want to sound possessive, but the fact that his brother met Seokjin yesterday and just took him to his house a week later sounded weird. There wasn't anything bad about Seokjin having friends, but he knows his brother and Joowon can get
very out of hand when he's drunk. He worried for Seokjin safety.
The way his voice sounded was also a little bit off. He almost sounded inaudible.
He had to find the fastest route to Joowon's house now.
"I'm right here, don't freak out." Speaking of his brother, he appeared moments later on the phone call.
"There you are." Namjoon put his phone on speaker to drive without holding it up to his ear so much.
"Next time warn me." Namjoon was confused.
"Warn you? You should have warned me before taking Seokjin out of the house. What are you talking about?" His brother was laughing.
"You didn't tell me Seokjin was a hybrid. And what an adorable hybrid he is."
Namjoon hung up.
"Don't get mad at Joowon." Seokjin's words roamed around his head.
"Please be safe, Seokjin."
