The Truth (TW)

TW: self-harm

Johnny woke up in cold sweat, he must have had a nightmare but he can't remember what happened. Is it even possible to forget a nightmare? He would never know. "You okay?" Taeyong asked him and he shook his head, Johnny just showered and they were preparing for their first class. It was another Monday, they were scheduled for another blood donation.

"Eat a lot" the cafeteria auntie gave him extra servings for breakfast, smiling fondly.

"Soooooo...are you really okay?" Taeyong asked johnny, twirling his cold noodles.

"Of course, why would I not be?"

"You look like you need more sleep"

"I watched a drama, don't worry"

Taeyong decided not to ask more questions and let him be. Johnny still can't forget what happened, so Jaehyun is still keeping the pact and making sure he's safe, so he must have seen Wendy...Johnny is just so confuse because Jaehyun is hard to read. I mean, he and Jaehyun only shared a winter break, the boy probably hates him the most right now.

"Please fall in line" Mr. Byun called everyone, since the incident with Mr. Kim, the school clinic is temporarily led by the Jungs, both Sooyeon and Soojung.

"I'm really scared of needles" one of the boys commented "but I would give my blood to Miss Jung" the group snickered.

"That sounds gross" Taeyong shook his head, Ten patted his back.

"I meannn, don't tell Sicheng, but they are really pretty" Yuta smirked, Johnny facepalmed.

They increased the dosage for the blood donation and some of the kids actually felt dizzy, Ten was the first to complain to Mr. Byun back in the classroom. "Sir, I'm sorry but some of our classmates actually felt sick, they took 2 bags of our blood for this week, this is not okay" he complained, most of the boys agreed.

"I'm sorry guys, the hospital said there's been a shortage" Mr. Byun explained.

"What? So...this is basically a requirement then, we're no longer donating" one of the students spoke up.

"I'm sorry, did the school teach you to be greedy?" Everyone was startled when Jung Sooyeon opened the door, the boys bowed their heads.

"Miss Jung, sorry about this, what can I do for you?" Mr. Byun apologized formally.

"We were distributing snacks to replenish everyone, but I guess I'm not welcome here" she looked at everyone with disgust.

The boys stayed quiet until she left "She's a bitch" Ten mouthed. Jaehyun must have known something's wrong here, he knew them before anybody in the class did. Only if Jaehyun would talk to him, or at least answer these mind-bugging questions.

"You're gonna hurt yourself more if you clench your fists tighter" Yuta chuckled, tapping his fists.

"Hurt...myself?" Johnny is dumb, but he needs to know what is happening, after Kim Heechul's death, everything just changed.

Jungkook and his vampire friends are now seen in broad daylight, accidents occur more now, animal attacks but Johnny's sure it's the Es slowly creeping in their small town. "Hyung!" Donghyuck called him over when they passed each other in the cafeteria, the freshmen kids...will they even survive this sudden increase of blood donation.

"You okay?" Donghyuck asked, Johnny nodded. The older was glad that his cousins were able to make friends in their year.

"It's just I stayed up a bit late"

"Awww, stop watching cheesy dramas hyung"

"Please..." Johnny just chuckled.

If something bad happens to him, Jaehyun will come...that's the pact. If he gets hurt...Jaehyun will come to make sure he's okay. When the bell rang for dismissal, Johnny went to the woodcarving room and borrowed one of their sculpting blades. This is insane, probably dumb and may kill himself, but it's been bugging him for days. The only place he could think of was the jogging trail behind the school. If this works out, he will get his answer. Johnny sat on one of the benches, it was past sunset and the park is silent and empty, not many students are willing to hangout here after Heechul's death and the bizarre animal attacks. Johnny grabbed the knife and slit his wrist, this will attract the Es for sure. Johnny waited, he's probably gonna die if Jaehyun doesn't show up. He watched the blood drip down his hand...is he not gonna show up because Johnny planned this? Ten minutes passed, a low growl startled Johnny. He's gonna die, Jaehyun probably betrayed him after what happened.
