12: A Bed For The Night

"That's when who came?" 

Yuri speaks up suddenly and you hush her, to which she bows her head quietly and lets Jin continue. He smiles sadly and clears his throat, "The vampires. We still don't know where they came from, but we do know that they're gathering people." A hush falls over the whole room at his words and you gulp. Jin seems lost in thought, so you gently speak, "Why are they gathering people? Is that where you come in?" He snaps back to reality and nods at your question, "Yes. They just started attacking, out of nowhere. It was so horrible..." You feel your stomach turn and your chest clenches at the sadness in the young man's voice. His red eyes are glistening, and he coughs. Yuri nods in understanding and you remember she was there when the people in that room were attacked, when you lost all memory of that.

"Anyway, their goal was always to find people and turn them into vampires. But, we're not sure why."

Yuri nods again and you look at her, horrified at the sentence that passed Jin's lips. Turn them into vampires? That must be what Yuri was talking about when she said you wouldn't 'turn' because they didn't have you long enough. You feel a chill go down your spine when you glance down to your wrist, where the tiny hole still sits.

"B-but, what about all those murders, then...Were those the vampires too?" Ga-In asks hesitantly, and Jin nods. You shake your head, even more confused than before, "Wait, then why didn't those people turn into vampires? They just...died." Jin clasps his hands together and leans forward again, "This is what we've figured out so far. Vampires can do two things; they can bite you and kill you, or they can bite you and turn you into a vampire. It really depends on how long they have you for. I'm guessing they were planning to turn those people into vampires, but when the person put up a fight and started to cause a scene and draw attention, they decided to just kill them." Anger bursts in your chest at that and you grind your teeth before continuing, "Ok...So you seven were just normal humans before, and they had you long enough to turn you into vampires, not kill you?" Jin claps his hands and points at you.

"Exactly."

"So, why were you there today? When you saved us." You question. He bites his lip and you can't help but notice his sharp canines. "Even if they turned us into vampires, they didn't change us completely. We knew that they had plans to turn a lot of people. I just wish we could've gotten there sooner..." 

"So, that's why you don't seem like monsters?" Ga-In speaks up and Jin chuckles lightly. "Well, thank you. Yes, that's probably why we don't seem like monsters. They had each of us long enough to turn us into vampires, but not long enough to get rid of our true selves, so our personalities remain the same. Although, there is something you need to know about-"

He gets interrupted mid-sentence when heavy footfalls sound through the room as someone saunters through the doorway. You look behind you when you see Jin's face change at the arrival.

Jungkook stands there, looking unamused as usual with his arms crossing his chest.

"Hoseok said you were in here. What are you doing?" He glares at you accusingly even though his question was directed at Jin, and you sigh. Why does he keep looking at you like that? You haven't done anything to him.

Seokjin forces a smile to his face and clasps his hands again, "Jungkook! So nice of you to join us. I was just filling the girls in on how we aren't going to kill them and how they're safe here." Jungkook raises his eyebrows and turns his attention to Jin, "What do you mean, safe here? They're not staying here." Jin sighs in irritation at Jungkook's sharp tone.

"Yes, they are. You're going to need to deal with it and be nice. Why do you think we went there, Kook? Don't be stupid." You shift uncomfortably at the tension in the room, Jungkook is clearly pissed off. "Why don't you show the girls to their rooms?" Jin continues and Jungkook immediately stalks out of the sitting area. You hear the front door open and slam shut, and you flinch at the loud sound. The man sitting in front of you drags his hands down his face tiredly, "Ohhh I can't stand when he acts like this." You purse your lips and say quietly, "Was he always like this, then?"
