Chapter 5: A Mysterious New Student

The days at the university passed, and Jungkook found himself falling deeper into the enigma that was Kim Taehyung. His roommate's presence had become a source of strength and comfort in his otherwise challenging life. However, there was another surprise waiting for Jungkook on the horizon.

One sunny morning, as he entered his classroom, Jungkook noticed a new face among his fellow students. The stranger had captivating brown eyes, a stark contrast to the blood-red eyes that had marked Taehyung as a vampire. This student introduced himself as Kim Taehyung, and there was a sense of intrigue surrounding him.

Jungkook couldn't help but wonder if this was the same Taehyung he had met in the dark alley, the one who had been feeding on a helpless human. But the brown eyes and human appearance didn't match his memory of the vampire. He felt a strange mixture of relief and curiosity.

As the days went by, Jungkook observed the new Taehyung from a distance. He seemed like any other student, attentive in class and friendly with his peers. It was a stark contrast to the dominant aura Jungkook had witnessed in the alley.

One evening, when Jungkook returned to his dorm room, he found Taehyung sitting at his desk, engrossed in a book. The human and vampire Taehyung had become roommates, and their lives were now intertwined in ways neither of them could have predicted.

Jungkook cleared his throat, causing Taehyung to look up and offer a warm smile. "Hey, Jungkook. How was your day?"

Their conversations had become a daily occurrence, and Jungkook cherished the moments they spent together. Despite the mysteries that surrounded Taehyung, he had grown fond of his roommate's company.

"Good," Jungkook replied, trying to hide the curiosity that burned within him. "How about yours?"

Taehyung closed the book and leaned back in his chair, his brown eyes meeting Jungkook's gaze. "It was interesting. This university is full of surprises."

Jungkook couldn't help himself any longer. He had to ask. "Taehyung, I have a question. Are you... human?"

Taehyung's smile widened, and he chuckled softly. "Ah, you noticed. I am indeed a vampire, but I have the ability to take on a human appearance when I want to blend in. It helps me keep my true nature a secret."

Jungkook's eyes widened in realization. The pieces of the puzzle were starting to come together. The Taehyung he had met in the alley was the real vampire, while the one in the university was an intricate disguise.

As the truth sank in, Jungkook couldn't help but feel a mixture of fascination and trepidation. His connection with Taehyung had deepened, and the mysteries of the supernatural world were beginning to unravel before his eyes.
