Jeongguk hated Halloween.
Its's not because he found it annoying or unnecessary, nor was it because he wasn't into the whole spooky atmosphere. In fact, he had totally loved it when he was younger, the whole trick or treat adventures with his friends. He loved wearing matching costumes with his bestest friend and later on boyfriend. He never felt like it was awkward to dress up, not even as a teen. And he absolutely adored how happy it could make his lover, boxy smile full on display just for him. Not once did they miss an oportunity to go around their neighbourhood in Busan for a bit of trick or treating, always making time for it, even when they were invited to a bomb ass Halloween party.
The reason behind his sudden dislike for this particular holiday laid behind a story from 4 years ago. A tale he never wanted to bring up again, because it made him feel so depressed that not even the anti depressants he took were enough to stop his disastrous toughts. It all started as an other ordinary October 31st...
/Flashback/
4 years ago, October 31, 18:12
"Ggukie~ hurry up, we're gonna be late" said male heard his name being called from down the stairs and just by hearing the voice, he could easily tell two things: (1) it was non other than his beloved boyfriend and (2) Taehyung was most definitely pouting, which only made him even more adorable than he already was.
"Coming!" after he checked out his costume one last time, he was finally ready to go. He almost ran down the stairs by how much he was hurrying to see Taehyung. Once he reached his living room, his lips parted in shock due to how gorgeous his boyfriend looked. The older was dressed as Harley Quinn, his soft blonde hair dyed pink on one side and blue on the other, his make up made with the same colors. He was wearing tiny shorts with black fishnets and white tigh highs, his delicious, tan tighs and a part of his tummy was exposed thanks to the crop top he had on. If they hadn't had places to go to, Jeongguk would definitely have taken Taehyung to his bedroom to have some fun with his beautiful lover. And by the way the older was staring at him, it seemed that the tought was very much reciprocated.
"Well, hello there my beautiful Harley" Jeonnguk smirked at his lover.
"Hello to you too, my handsome Joker" the older smiled at him coyly. It was already a tradition for them, ever since they knew each other (they met when Jeonnguk was 2 and Taehyung was 4 years old) they always dressed in matching costumes. They shared a long, passionate kiss –which resulted in Taehyung's lipstick being smeared all over his and Jeongguk's lips, so he had to go to the bathroom to correct it. After that little incident, they were finally able to get going. They went around in the neighbourhood, trick or treating with the kids Taehyung babysitted every weekend, making all the elderly people coo at them for how cute they were together. They had so much fun, just two teenagers being dumb, carefree and so in love, with the most adorable kids ever.
21:55
It was becoming late, so they had to say goodbye to the children. They hugged them goodbye and parted ways, the pair going in the direction of their mutual friend's house.
"Ggukie" the blonde boy softly addressed his green haired lover (Jeongguk really didn't have a choice, when Taehyung asked him to dress up as Joker he never tought it would end up with his hair getting colored).
"Yes, baby doll?" the younger looked at his sweet boyfriend fondly, who blushed at the nickname.
"I was wondering... what will happen with us after I graduate?" Jeongguk sighed at this question. Honestly, he was thinking about this too, every single day. Yet, he still didn't know any good answer to that. "I mean, do you want to... mayhaps... Break up with me?" Taehyung let out a shaky breath after finally asking the question that was irking him ever since summer ended.
"Tae..." Jeongguk was truly speachless at this point. His brain couldn't process how their peaceful and carefree Halloween night went to this. "Let's not talk about this right now, okay? We don't know what will happen yet, okay? We might break up even before that." As soon as the words left his mouth, he knew he fucked up big time. Taehyung froze in his step, stopping in the middle of the road, big eyes wide and filled with tears.
"So you do plan to break up with me, but not even because of me moving to Paris?" the blond's voice was low and broken, but the only thing Jeongguk could register was that the love of his life was going to move to an other continent and he didn't even tell him before now.
"You're gonna what?" he didn't know if he was pissed or devasted by the news, but it was probably a mixture of the two.
"I applied to an art college there in July and they already sent me an early reply" Taehyung whispered, while tears were streaming down his face. "I wanted to tell you, but I didn't know how to bring it up... But it doesn't really matter now, does it?"
"Taehyung what the hell? You're so fvcking selfish! You didn't even think to talk with me before applying?" Jeongguk couldn't stop the swear words flying out of his mouth, not once caring about how his innocent boyfriend was crying more and more.
"Jeonggukie please let me-"
"Shut the fvck up!" that was the point where the older boy decided that it was too much for him, he tturned around and started walking in the other direction. Jeongguk was far too shocked by their little fight –and he was also really mad at himself for how badly he treated his precious baby– that he couldn't do anything, just watch his lover's back as he walked away. Until the blonde walked past a dark alley. One second later, there was a horrifying scream, and Taehyung was nowhere to be seen anymore. The green haired boy instantly panicked, rushing there, but his boyfriend was nowhere in sight.
4 years ago, November 1st, 22:40
"I'm sorry, Mr Jeon, but it's been 24 hours already. I hate to say this, but it's very unlikely that Mr Kim would be found."
"You need to find him, officer Min! Please I–" Jeongguk's voice turned into a sob. He couldn't believe it. His baby, his love, his best friend, his Taehyung was missing and there's a very high possibility that he would never return.
"I'm really sorry, kid. But there's nothing we can do."
\Flashback end\
The officer was right. Jeongguk never saw Taehyung again, he couldn't hold him, couldn't kiss him, couldn't cuddle him anymore. And he could never say sorry to him for what he had said that night. He didn't even know why he reacted the way he did, he knew how much Taehyung adored art (he himself was a piece of art too), and Paris was full of it. They could've made it work, even with the distance. They loved each other ever since they could remember. But now... Now Jeongguk was left all alone.
He decided that he couldn't take it anymore, the silence of his apartment was too much to handle, so he shrugged on a jacket and decided to roam around his new neighbourhood. Seoul was a beautiful city, but he couldn't appreciate it at the moment. He walked to Han river to clear his toughts, but he had to go through some creepy streets to get there.
He felt a shiver run down his spine when he felt a presence behind him, most definitely following him. He stopped and turned around, but he saw no one. But when he turned back, he came face to face with two glowing red eyes that stared right through his soul.
"Jeonggukie..." It was him. It was his Taehyung, but... It wasn't really him. He had fangs to match with his flaming red orbs, and there was blood dripping from his long, black nails. Jeongguk would've screamed in horror, but he couldn't leave Taehyung again, so he let the monster push him on the wall.
"Taehyung" he croacked out to his past lover, who only giggled at him devilishly. "What happened to you?"
"Oh, Ggukie... You don't know how much horrible things one is capable of in the need to survive."
And with that, the blonde monster leaned to the black haired boy's neck, ready to take his blood.
