Chapter 18

Seokjin is so thirsty.

He's been fighting that urge, those temptations ever since he took his first sip of blood in Mexico. Never again tasting the iron. Not even junk food is helping him fight off his need for the liquid. The desperate feeling only keeps swallowing the older man, making him barely able to walk properly or let alone see correctly, yet in front of the boys, he tries to brush it aside.

Fighting his thirst.

Just so they won't be scared of him.

Or see him like a monster.

Vampires is the widest population of supernaturals apart from werewolves. Everyone sees them as monsters, for what? Not being able to control their thirst? Doing everything they can to survive? Does that make them a monster?

The questions only blurred Seokjin's mind as he hold his head, leaning against the tree, concentrating on his aching head.

Please don't go insane.

Don't go insane.

"Hey Seokjin hyung, what's the matter?" Namjoon questions while turning around, causing the other two older men to turn around as well. Seokjin looks up to see double of Namjoon but also something else.

His veins.

His blood circulating around his body, calmly.

T-tempting.

Warm.

"Seokjin?"

The vampire's eyes snap up to Namjoon, watching his leader gasp with wide eyes. Seokjin could feel the veins around his eyes swimming quickly, making them appear, along with his fangs springing out.

He was suddenly pushed back with Yoongi in front of him, "Don't you even think about it you blood sucker!" The shorter man bellows.

This threw Seokjin into a restless state, fighting off the urge while desperately wanting to sink his teeth so swallow blood.

He needs it.

As if Namjoon could hear his thoughts, a man suddenly flew to the ground from a portal. He must've been at least in his late twenties with midnight dark eyes. The minute he took in his surroundings, he jumps to his feet with a shaking body, "Where am I?"

Seokjin stares at the man, inhaling his healthy blood from where he's standing. A mortal. The urge to sink his teeth grew insanely unbearable but he couldn't make himself do it. Not back to his past, not in front of his maknaes. Not to be a monster in front of them.

He takes a shakingly breath back, "N-No, I can't do this."

Namjoon stares at Seokjin with an emotionless expression, approaching the mortal and throws him to the ground, causing the man to groan in pain. He throws a punch against his face, slicing his lip with his teeth until a drop of blood is visible.

Oh no.

Human blood.

It's so appeticing.

"What if I tell you that this man is a guilty man," Namjoon ventures, his expression changing to disgust as he stares at the mortal on his knees, tears pooling his eyes, "What if I tell you that he's the one that sent that vampire to turn your sister?"

Seokjin's mind grew blank and his thirst somehow went away, replacing it with a sudden angst feeling in his chest.

"M-my sister?"

Namjoon only glares at the man, kicking his side, "Well? Doesn't Kim Wisoo ring any bells?"

Seokjin didn't want to believe it. All this time, he hated that vampire because he turned his sister, causing her to turn Seokjin into a vampire too. He eventually found that vampire and burned him to sheds, but he never knew the reason he did it was because he was sent by a mortal to do it.
