Hello!
I wanted to explain what a "scent" is in this book.
In this book, the completion of becoming a vampire is very painful and hard. To reward you for not only going through all that pain, but joining the vampire community, you are given a human that you can freely feed on. Can't vampires feed on anyone? Yes, they can however, this particular person cannot be fed off of anyone but that specific vampire. Any vampire that does try to feed on your scent, will smell your property and most likely leave them alone.
Another reason why every vampire is given a scent is because there are certain rules you have to follow as a vampire (that will be introduced later on in the book) but every vampire should live as one, meaning feeding is an important part. Having a scent promising every vampire to feed because if you don't feed on your scent you will die.
A scent is like any other human but the smell of their blood and flesh is stronger than any other human, this makes every vampire kill their scent the minute they find them. If a vampire refuses, the outcome will be so harsh on the vampire it will kill them. For example, earlier in the book, Taehyung started shaking because it started to get bad, that is only the first stage. It will grow stronger and stronger and soon enough any other blood other than your scent's won't stay down for long, and you won't be able to have anyone else's blood.
A vampire can also grow an emotional connection to their scent. They can sense when they are in danger, because they want to make sure no one is feeding off them.
If it's not noticeable, Sunny is Taehyung's scent.
I hope I covered it all, but if you have any questions please comment bellow :)
