“vampires? Be for real hyung. Next you're gonna tell me the boogeyman is in my closet" Jungkook laughs but neither man laughs with him. “you're serious?”

“Kook.. Vampires are not like the twilight movies, all sparkly and nice.” Yoongi says softly.

“then how are they like?” Jungkook says softly, now really curious.

“there are many types of vampires, it's not all drinking blood and avoiding garlic.” Namjoon types away at his laptop before turning it to face Jungkook.

“you have your average blood sucker, which is commonly uses in literature and movies, called the sanguine vampire”

“do they-"  Namjoon interrupts Jungkook before he can even finish the sentence.

“no, they don't bite people. That's just unsanitary and unhygienic. They use syringes or needles” Namjoon scrolls down a bit before continuing.

“then you have your psi vampires, who consume no blood but on life force. These vampires typically do not kill, merely make you exhausted.”

“I think I like those ones.. they sound less scary" Jungkook says softly, making Yoongi smile.

“much along the lines of the psi, you have elemental or emphatic vampires. Those are generally self explanatory” Namjoon continues slowly, making sure the younger understands.

“the darker ones usually end up creating the very negative energy they feed from, however" Yoongi pipes up, making Namjoon nod.

“then you have your sexual vampires, better known as succubus or incubus"

Jungkook blushes at that and Yoongi can't resist the gummy smile at how cute he is.

“the ones who raised me, however are soul vampires. They feed from your very soul, which drains your life expectancy”

Jungkook's eyes widen in worry.

“hyung.. did you ever.. feed them?”

“not from me personally, no" Namjoon shares a knowing look with Yoongi who sadly nods, recalling the incident with Jin all too clearly.

“the last ones I want to tell you about, are genetic vampires, born to a human female and vampire male. Then insane vampires. When I tell you to avoid insane vampires, I mean it”

“s-so.. your adopted- sort of- parents were soul vampires.. when you feed them.. what happens to  the bodies?” Jungkook looks between his hyungs again.

“in their clan, my “parents" are the clan leaders, followed by second in command Benji and his sister Minji. When my parents drain all of the life essence.. Benji comes along and drains their blood"  Namjoon says quietly, looking over his shoulder out of habit.

“and then?” Jungkook whispers too, his doe eyes wide with curiosity.

“then Minji eats the body"

Jungkook's eyes widen so big Namjoon worries his eyes will freeze that way.

“e-eats them?”

“yes, eats them. She is an insane vampire, Benji is a Sanguine.”

“what's the price?” Tae stands in the doorway, having been listening for awhile.

Namjoon’s eyes meet the lions as he answers.

“I give them someone to eat"  Namjoon says simply, only the sorrow in his eyes tells how much it weighs on him.

“so you find someone sick and nearly dying and just, hand them over?” Tae raises an eyebrow.

“had it not been for their interference more than once, i'd be in jail for murder by now. We would have never found Jimin or rescued Ara. Yoongi would still be in the middle of a stupid war that should have never happened and none of us would be here right now"

Yoongi places a hand on his platonic soulmates in comfort.

“no one is innocent here. I've got blood on my hands, i'm sure we all do" Yoongi says quietly, having killed more innocents than Namjoon and the two younger combined.

“so what now?” Tae says simply, leaning against the door frame, his tail swishing lazily behind him.

“we offer them Mr. Choi here, as payment. After we get the info on his partner that is” Namjoon smiles, pulling out his phone and dialing the familiar number of his best friend, ex best friend.

“Sehyoon, buddy. I need a favor”

-

“This better be good, Namjoon. We've covered a lot of favors this year" the voice says as it comes out of the car.

Namjoon rises from his spot on the front porch and greets his old friend.

“Sehyoon.. thank you for this. This time, however, I think we can call this favor even when you hear what I have for you"

Sehyoon's eyebrow raises as he considers Namjoon's offer.

“alright, call me intrigued.” Sehyoon leans against the car, crossing one long leg across the other as he takes up a casual pose.  His perfectly sculpted face and freshly dyed blonde hair remind Namjoon that even as a genetic vampire, he clearly lucked out with the looks.

“Remember when we were kids, that creepy older man who would advertise that ‘hybrids and vampires are the devils work' and he can cure them?”

Sehyoon scoffs at the memory, his lips curling in a smile.

“crazy old bat is what he was. What about him?”

Namjoon finds the picture on his phone then holds it out to Sehyoon who whistles then barks a nasty laugh.

“he's still kicking huh? Stubborn old man"

“I couldn't put my finger on his face until I stared at it for long enough and it hit me" Namjoon joins in on the laughter before sighing. “he's behind all of these hybrids and vampires disappearing. You guys can keep it secret but please Sehyoon don't lie to me. I know where my parents went, I know where yours went too”

Sehyoon's eyes grow soft for a second before he conceals it.

“what is your wager?”

“I have his address to his business as well as aliases he uses. I want info on who his partner is, they guy in charge. I want him for myself" Namjoon makes sure to say that last part, knowing how they work.

“and what's in it for us?”

“you can eat him after getting what I need. You can eat his partner too, after  we have some time with him first" Namjoon licks his fangs to emphasize his rage and Sehyoon nods.

“i'll text you with their answer" Sehyoon nods and with that, climbs in his car and takes off.

“what now?” Jin says from the doorway, looking refreshed after his 3 hour nap.

“we wait for them to text, they will do what we want and we can focus on Ara”

A loud ear piercing scream cuts through the silence, sending everyone on high alert.

“what on earth was that?” Namjoon says, holding his ears, looking at Jin who simply stares at nothing as if in shock. “hyung?”

“it can't be..” Jin whispers, just as Hobi bursts through the front door, skidding in his hurry and holding Jin's arm to steady himself.

“Come.. Hurry.. Ara.. Jin.. GO!"
