"I'll see you when I get home. Don't you ruin the dorm, okay?" Bella reminds before she walked out the door. The sound of it being slammed shut made me and Jimin look at each other, "Want some food?" I ask, walking up to the small kitchen and he hummed to say a small yes.

Jimin sighs, opening the TV before speaking up. "I know what kind of hell you just put yourself into." He muttered, stopping me from what I was doing so I could shoot him a confused look. He frowns, shaking his head, "Hoseok... you're an idiot, you'll be dead by the morning." Jimin nonchalantly states, his words getting marked into my brain as I felt my heart thumping in fear.

I let out a forced chuckle, "what are you saying? I came here to study, you know. This isn't some cliché movie you watch in theaters, don't make my life a novel."

"I know you met Namjoon on your first day, heard bells when you saw Jungkook in that dark pathway. I know, Hoseok."

What is he saying?!

"Sheesh, I'm assuming that Namjoon's group of friends are the type of people I should ignore because they could drag me into regret, is that it?" there was a short pause, only silence circulating the room before Jimin snorted. "How many movies have you been watching? Can't believe you're one of those amateurs. Good conclusion but I don't want to sound cinematic or any odds to you." I can tell he rolled his eyes as I took a spoonful of what I'm cooking to taste it.

He sighs, "I'm just saying that you can't stop anything that will happen throughout this week. It wasn't your choice though, I pity you."

"What are you saying?!" He makes me think I am living some what story book that could be rated 'not-for-children' whatnots and I turn to look at him, my fists balled at my sides and he rolls his eyes. "Look, Hoseok, whatever happens just know that you can always run to me. Like I said, it wasn't your choice so I wouldn't judge you in any sort."

I put my muscles to lax, the nervousness eating my whole form as my hands tremble. I shouldn't have went to this university.

"That sounded stupid." Yoongi spat, his heels clacking on the tiled floor and he chuckles. "Why did you even transfer here, you came from Gwangju right? that's quite far if I will measure." I heave out a sigh, eyeing Yoongi before turning my gaze into the crowds of students. "I need to learn how to become social."

Yoongi nudges my side as he wiggles his eyebrows, "life as a teenager huh? Being forced by parents, yeah? Huh?" He merely rambles as I stared at his eyes. "I need to learn how to fit in, that's it. I have a little sister to take care of once my parents have retired so I need to finish better education or shorter, they said I'll learn to be more mature in a university here in London."

"Mature? I don't like the sound of it but good luck anyways."

"What's wrong with you?" Yoongi froze, his lips curving into a smirk as he turns around to completely mock my presence, "what's wrong with me? What's wrong with me is that I don't know family, or whatever there is inside your little brain. You're such an easy brat to read to be fucking real, I'm not joking on you, Jung Hoseok. Know your damned limits and know the people around you before you interrogate non sense into shit heads you think are assholes. I like you but you're a pile of books untouched."

His nails dug into my wrist as I purse my lips to hold in a scream. The agony completely making me uneasy, wanting to knock out the smirk out of his face but I'm entirely weak out of form and when I attack him it may just result to me dying without anyone knowing. And I don't want to be the one they all feel sorry for.

Finally, I opened my eyes. Scanning my surroundings only to find myself in that pathway Yoongi had told me to avoid entering. "Goodie, you're okay." Seokjin appears, making me jolt up in surprise. I feel light-headed. "What time is it?" I ask and he looks at his watch and simply told me the time. I nod, "I... I think I better go back to my dorm."

"I'll see you tomorrow, Hoseok."

"Bye Seokjin."

Bella almost knocked me down when I had returned to the dorm. Her arms squeezing me into her embrace as she sobbed into my chest. "What's wrong?" I ask as I felt her arms slowly letting go of me. She crumpled my shirt, "they did it." she states.

"What? Who? What did they do?"

"Welcome to Section 15, Hoseok. We think you'll do great."

I blinked twice, staring at Hoseok as he ran a hand down to his face until his chin and he looks at me. "I'm sorry." Sorry? What else could've not happened if he didn't transfer to this school? What did I just see? Hear? Watch?

Were those his thoughts? I don't even know anymore. Is he still my big brother? "Yes! Yes I am, Ellie, forgive me for being stupid." I pushed him away, my anger bottling up in my system as I tried to finish the puzzle, "you dragged me into this mess... I-I can't believe you."

"It's not my fault your room mate was that bitchy. It's not my fault that he's your boyfriend, it's not my fucking fault you fell in love with him within three months. I'm not seeing bullshit."

"Dear god! You could've just pulled me away!"

"I did! But guess who's stubborn!"

i shut my lips, pursing them immediately as I stared at him with sight getting blurry with the tears blocking them. I wanted to run away and go back to Gwangju and forget about the things that happened here. Maybe I just need Jungkook.

"This is my only chance to talk to you," what? - yes! - only chance? is he trying to make up an excuse? "Ellie, I know I failed to become a great big brother to you but give me a chance. Let me protect you from Section 19."

Section, section, section - what are they even? why did Jungkook hesitate to tell me what are they. "what even is section 19?"

"Sections are groups of vampires.. the higher the number, the stronger they are. So far, there are only twenty groups and Section 19 is in our very heads." Jungkook? How does he know about it? "Sections only become strong if their leader could manipulate every single one of them and train hard enough to become better."

"You're the leader of Section 15?" Correct.

"Your whole group of friends are Section 15?" False.

"Not the entirety of them. There are some in Section 17 and 19." Hoseok answers, "I can't believe you're friends with stronger vampires!"

Hoseok raises his hand to keep me silent, "they won't hurt me. Only a leader from a pack can fight a leader." This all sounds like a sick joke. "Yikes."

"Stay safe, Ellie. You've got someone who can crush you whole. I don't even know why you love him."
