A/N: Hey guys, since most of the chapters has been from Taehyung's POV, now we're gonna take a short hiatus from the story and hear out Jin's POV.

"I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me"

Jin's POV

Time to hear my side of the story, shall we?

Let's start with a short introduction.
I'm Kim Seokjin. Date of birth: 04.12.1992 Mortal age: 22 and a half
Vampire age: 171 years old (my real age)

Vampires don't age. Eternal beauty, they say. Oh well, I'm already handsome enough.

Moving on. Time to spill the truth on why Im acting like this. Simple. I switched off my humanity.

From the moment my mum died, till today. The only short moment I switch it back on and start feeling human feelings was the time I met Kim Namjoon, my first love/soulmate. You might think i have no right to say that since i selfishly used his body as shield to protect myself but listen to my side of the story before hating on me, yeah?

When I was 19, that was a year after mum's death. I was still grieving. I was alone. I know I still had my dad with me but he was always busy making business trips in and out of the country. I felt lonely. In despair like a broken child.

What's even worse, when he got back from one of his trip, he announced to me that he was going to marry another, he even brought that older woman home together with her son, Jungkook. I was furious and stomped out the house. I don't want a new mother or brother or whoever. I want my mum back, my real mum. Who was cruelly killed by her own best friend, BEST FRIEND.

I expected better because Taehyung's mum is one of the most powerful witches in that era, but did she do anything to turn the tables? No.

Switching off my humanity and to totally feel nothing did help but it reaps my heart, making the hole in my already so shattered heart even worse. On weekend nights, I'll usually head to the bar and drink away my sorrow. That's when I met Namjoon, at first I was afraid of him. Tall height, stern fox looking face with that slick silver hair.

I didn't bother about him in the beginning but when I realized he was eyeing on me every now and then after seeing each other a couple of times at the same bar, he finally approached and introduced himself.

"Hey, I'm Namjoon" he stretched out his hand

"I'm Seokjin" I gladly returned his handshake as he sat next to me.

"Bartender, one tequila shot please. No sorry make it two" he ordered and gave one to me.

"Oh for me? Thanks"

We both clanked our mini glasses together and gulped down the entire shot which had a sharp taste towards the end. Namjoon was a gentlemen, he made sure he didn't get too drunk. I was already hungover so he carried me and super speed back to his house. That's when I knew he was a vampire. Not any type, but an original like me too. From there, I didn't feel so lonely no more.

Time flew by and we gradually bonded, I started to heal so that's when I decided to switch my humanity back on. It wouldn't be possible if Namjoon didn't enter my life. He was patient with me despite my angsty mood. He stood by me through thick and thin. He taught me how to love again. How can I not appreciate him... Of course I do.

When I use him as shield to protect myself, I know I seem like a self-centered evil jerk but in reality, I wanted to break down right there on that spot with him in my arms. It was because I couldn't feel anything, that's what happens when a vampire turn off their humanity. They feel nothing. Zero. No matter how much love they have towards the other. All they feel is rage, extreme rage.

You might wonder when I switch off my humanity? It was the moment I saw Kim Taehyung. That few minutes just looking at his face, disgust me. It sent me back to that unfortunate day, on how he was the one who was saved and not sacrificed. I'm not saying I totally hate him because when we were little, I used to go over to his house since our mums are best friends, they like to spend time together.

When he was six, I was nine years of age so I used to tutor him some basic English and whatnot. Sometimes his best friend, Jimin, would be there too playing catch or hide & seek. Me as the seeker but I guess those goofballs don't remember me, huh? Well can't blame them I guess, a memory of a six year old isn't as sharp since its still developing.

Taehyung, he was a bright kid, he never fail to act so jumpy and quirky. The only aura he spread was happiness, there was so much positive energy emitting out of him. When I'm around him, I feel bubbly too and despite being the younger one, he never fail to make me laugh with his silly faces which I'll lightly pinch due to his extreme cuteness. I sometimes envy him, how could he not get affected?

The only worse thing he did was switch off his humanity ONCE but that was understandable since he witnessed both his parents dead which yes, I was the one who killed. He became Ripper and killed many innocent but at least he didn't hold a grudge unlike me. I still have the urge to kill Taehyung, maybe cause I just want justice for my mum or... Sigh, I don't know. Do I really want that? I even put my lover's life at stake. Is all these what you really want, Kim Seokjin?

To kill everyone and end up the most pitiful loner ever? Why not switch your humanity back on and be someone like Taehyung? He changed so much the moment he met Jungkook. They were happy, supporting and protecting each other, there were some nights they well, you know, but they have yet to do it.

Maybe cause their friends are staying over and when vampires have sex, we end up ransacking the whole room and a lot of unpleasant noises can be heard. Err, I did it before, don't judge. Let me tell you, my step brother, Jungkook, can be quite the dominant one in bed.

In addition, when vampires decide to make love, it's like an unbreakable bond between the two of them so you got to make sure that the vampire you're doing it with, loves you with all their heart and sees you as their soulmate.

Oh how do I know all these? I spy on them once in awhile, that was how I always ended up barging into Taehyung's house unattended. Pardon me for that, don't mean to be rude. That brings me to my final point. Since I've been spying so far, i was surprised to see Taehyung's dad still alive. That means only one thing, it was the works of Taehyung's mum.

See told cha she was a smart powerful witch, if she can bring Taehyung's dad to life or more accurate, prevent him from being dead, just by using that Gilbert ring, she would be able to help my mum out too but she didn't. That thought was running through my mind and all my negative emotions heightened up especially rage. From there I guess you know the story? I killed his dad, and yes I'm holding the Gilbert ring as we speak.

Finally, if my instinct is right, they will decide to pull out the blade from Namjoon's body and bring him back to life. The only reason why that blade is able to kill any type of vampire is caused its sealed by a high level Magic, which is once again, the works of Taehyung's mother.

Why bring my lover back to life? To cure Jungkook from the werewolf bite obviously. Only the blood of an original vampire can heal a werewolf bite. If they still refuse, Jungkook would die by end of the week and I'm sure little Taehyung over there can't handle another loss.

For now I'll give them a break since I need time to reflect on my own plus Namjoon would definitely hate me for using him as shield so I need to be ready to deal with that.

I'm sure their mission now is to find the white oak stake to rid of me once and for all? Well guess who is holding the stake right now. I couldn't help but sheepishly smile at that thought. Just imagine their faces when they go on a quest to find it but it's not there. Serve them right.

Like the saying goes, you always stay one step ahead of your enemy. Well, I'll continue spying soon but for now, I need a breather so consider themselves lucky I would be away for the time being. To be very honest, I miss my old self. That sweet loving Seokjin who always look after others, putting them before himself. Sigh, what happened to me...

Time to reflect on my actions and think deep.

I'll be back, I'm sure they'll miss this handsome villain. Don't every person do?

Sincerely,
Kim Seokjin
