sung hanbin was absolutely, undeniably fucked.
a bystander, or perhaps a friend even, looking in on his current situation might instantly agree- might say you're right, hanbin, you are fucked . write me into your will before you die .
and maybe hanbin would fulfill the request, if he weren't so busy sprinting down a cold, narrow alleyway as fast as his legs could take him, footsteps echoing in the otherwise silent and stale air of the early morning, a decent-sized teenage vampire right at his heels, blood dripping down his chin.
"i swear to god, come back here, hanbin!" the boy hissed, reaching his arm out as he ran and only being inches away from wrapping his slender fingers around the fabric of the hood on hanbin's sweater.
"sorry, yujin!" hanbin yelled back over his shoulder. "it's really not personal, it's just my job. gotta pay for college somehow." hanbin laughed bitterly at himself.
fucked , he was.
it wasn't because of the vampire- hanbin had dealt with dozens of boys just like the one glaring daggers into the back of hanbin's head as he chased him, and exterminating him would be more than easy.
the problem , the oh-so-overwhelming and mind consuming problem, was biology. or, more specifically, hanbin's ap biology course, the one that happened to have its midterm in not enough hours (the midterm that hanbin happened to forget to study for).
hanbin screeched to a halt, so unprovoked that yujin wasn't able to slow down fast enough and ran straight into his back.
"fuck!" he spluttered, staggering off balance from the contact.
hanbin huffed out a heavy breath. "whew. you're fast," he chatted, reaching out to help yujin up.
he spat on hanbin's shoes. "you're fucking sick, hanbin," he squealed, far too loud for the sleepy sun who was clearly just waking up from her rest under the earth. "you pretend to be my friend, and then you fucking steal from me! you're a manipulative freak, and if i didn't just feed i swear to god i would kill you right now-"
hanbin placed a hand to yujin's forehead, causing him to freeze, words dying in his throat as his eyes grew wide.
"i told you," hanbin drawled lazily. "it's literally not personal."
he gulped. "wait, oh my god. you're not actually gonna- i mean, you wouldn't, we're friends -"
hanbin giggled, reaching forward with his free hand to tap a finger against yujin's sternum. "for someone who doesn't have a heart, you vampires have such a soft spot for anyone who will buy you a hamburger and do cross word puzzles with you."
yujin choked. "please, hanbin, we're friends. you care about me. please don't-"
he hushed the boy gently, then applied just a little bit of pressure to yujin's forehead with the hand resting there- just enough, his thumb and middle finger barely imprinting into the skin, he knew this wouldn't hurt at all- and the boy was gone. poof. eradicated, no trace of him left.
hanbin lowered his hand, sighing as he pulled off his hunting gloves.
"i'm totally gonna fail that exam," he muttered to himself dejectedly. "fuck."
<3
he failed the exam.
but truly, what else did he expect when he had spent the last month focusing on a specific vampire instead of literally any of his classes?
"you need to work less," kim jiwoong, his best friend and roommate, chided. "what kind of cafe asks their baristas to work overtime so fucking much, anyway?"
