Dead By Sunrise

Intro

AN: Hello, another day another fic :) As many of you may or may not know. I absolutely love the genre of fantasy writing, it has all of my heart. This idea kind of came to me at different times. Partially, when I saw JK's folio concept and at a completely different time when Tae released LayoVer, specifically when he had the long hair framing his face. I'm loosely pulling inspiration from various vampire shows/movies that I enjoy. I sat on this idea for a little minute and even took up other projects in the meantime but we are here finally. The playlist will be very rock-heavy, and of course, it will not be suitable for minors. I am so excited to create this story as well. I want to thank all of you for stopping by. Welcome to the introduction and I hope you all stay until the end. As you know the intros are always the hardest to start for me but thank you for reading. This was written to In My Mind by Ivan Gogh, Feenixpaul, Georgi Kay, and Axwell.

You need a few more classes in order to obtain your degree. You were starting an Algebra 2 class and dreading this and saved it to last minute due to hating math. You didn't understand why your Science degree required you to have it but there was no other way around it. You were working a desk job during the day and had this particular class on Mondays and Wednesdays. You were so exhausted but you were so determined to get this done as you dragged this out long enough. It was the week before classes and you made sure to have all of your books, pencils, computer programs, and notebooks. You decided to just take the math class this semester since you knew it was going to take all of your energy and dedication.

After weeks of preparing mentally for the semester, it was finally time to start. You finished at work for the evening and already had your backpack piled into the car. Your class wasn't until 7 pm on those days so you have plenty of time in between to relax or take a nap as needed. You haven't been in school for so long and it was going to be extremely difficult to get back into the groove again. You go home have a little snack and change into clothes that are more comfortable. Then you proceeded to the college. It is fall time and the sun is starting to set earlier in the day. Smiling at the trees with orange, brown and yellow leaves, calming your nerves before starting this class.

You arrive at the school with 20 minutes to spare and review the map on your phone again before going into the building. Waiting on the bench in the hall near the room, listening to some music before class. You hate math and struggle a lot with it, but you needed this. You avoided all of the classes you deemed too hard and boring for far too long and it was time to finish what you started. The door opens 5 minutes before it was meant to start and you walk in with all of the students, taking your place in the middle row. When the class started, the very handsome man began to speak, "Good evening everyone, my name is Professor Kim Seokjin. Welcome to College Algebra 2."

Rolling your eyes because the thought of having to do this is making you gag. The professor wasted no time and took attendance. Then he started to go over the syllabus and what he expects for his classroom. When he was talking about lateness, a tall man walked in, arm covered in tattoos. Professor looked at him, "Ahh, this is not high school and I'm not your parent... Make it to class on time, yeah... What's your name?" His eyes dart around the room, "Jungkook, sorry I'm late," then he sat in the chair behind you. Professor Kim proceeded with the rules and there was a tap on your shoulder. Turning around mouthing the word, "What?" Jungkook smiles at you, does a writing motion, and whispers, "A pen?"

Rummaging through your bag and giving him a pencil, thinking, the audacity of this guy to come here late and not be prepared. He grins and says, "Thank you," and then you turn around and follow along with the syllabus. You started zoning out in your seat with a straight face. Singing random songs in your head, then he enters the room. His hair is framing his face with glasses on, whispering, "Sorry I'm late, Professor Kim." Seokjin shakes his head, "You know the rules Taehyung... I had you in my class last semester-"

"Yes, sir. I remember," Then he scurries to the seat next to you. Before placing his bookbag down, he scowls at Jungkook and rolls his eyes before asking you, "Is this seat taken..." Shaking your head no then he proceeds to pull out his supplies. He quickly finds the area of the paper copy of the syllabus the professor was on and begins to take notes. You briefly look at him and want to ask after class how the professor is and if his way of teaching is hard. Taehyung seems much different than the other guy, more quiet, and reserved but you could be wrong. After an hour and a half, Professor Kim dismisses the class early and informs you guys, that the work will start this Wednesday, to be ready.

Taehyung quickly gathers his things and stands up while you are still putting things away. You stand up and take a deep breath before deciding to walk behind him, "Hey, um... Can I ask you a question?" He starts to walk faster and you pick up the pace, "I don't mean to bother you-"

"Then don't." Your mouth drops open because why would talk that way with you, "Rude... Taehyung, please." He spins around, "I don't feel like talking to you and I need to get my brother's bike back home." Scrunching your face, "Bike!?" Pushing his dark hair back, "Yeah, my car tire popped on the way here. My older brother lent me his... Why am I telling you this?" You sigh, "But it's dark out, do you need a ride?"

He nods, "No, I don't... I'm a big guy, I can handle myself." Raising your eyebrows, "Oh my god. OK, before you go... I just wanted to know how is this Professor, is he strict? Were the assignments hard or-" He sighs, "Did you really stop me to ask such things?" Looking at him nervously, "I did and you know what, sorry I was just curious and lowkey scared about the class... Math isn't my strongest subject..." He just silently nods while removing the chain from his bike, "Do I look like a fucking nerd to you?!" You scoff, "I don't know where your lack of manners come from but-" "Are we finished?" Then he swiftly hops onto the the bike and rides off into the darkness.

Turning around to see Jungkook standing behind you, "I didn't mean to intrude... My car is parked this way." You push past him and he sighs watching you walk away, "I can help you!" You keep walking because there's no way the guy who seems like he takes nothing seriously, could be the one to be your savior this semester. He quickly walks behind you, "My roommate, he's really smart and I know for a fact, he can be the one to tutor you." Rolling your eyes, "...And what makes you think I need a tutor!?" He laughs, "You were practically begging that guy-" "No, I was asking him a simple question..." you interrupted.

Walking slower, he says, "I'm serious... Maybe we can even help each other." You slow down to a halt, "I'm not fucking you for math answers Jungkook." He looks up at the sky and grunts, "...I'm sure you'd love that but no..." Furrowing your eyebrows, "...Well what do you mean?" He sighs, "It's a secret that I'm not ready to tell you. We literally just met 2 hours ago... But listen, whenever you feel like the class is getting too hard, don't hesitate to call me, here," then he tells you his phone number. He looks down at you, poking his cheek with his tongue, "I'll see you around," then he leaves. You walk back to the car, drive home, and get ready for bed since you have to work tomorrow. It's going to be a long semester, you thought as you drifted off to sleep.
