Soft hearted
In the city at night—rain glistens off the pavement, neon lights reflecting in puddles. A heartbeat races beneath the surface.
KIM TAEHYUNG tightens his coat around his shoulders as he hurries down a backstreet shortcut on his way home from his late shift at the hospital. His phone is dead. His earbuds are in, but the music’s off. Something feels wrong.
He rounds a corner—and stops.
Two men are crouched over a third figure slumped against the brick wall. The air smells like rust and danger.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*quietly*
Hey! What the hell are you doing?
The men glance up, and for a second, their eyes flash—unnaturally pale. One snarls.
He fights. He’s scrappy. One pepper spray shot and a lucky hit with his umbrella later, he’s bruised but alive. The two assailants flee into the night.
He kneels by the injured man.
Blood everywhere. Pale skin. Ice-cold to the touch.
His eyes flutter open—striking silver, glowing faintly in the dark.
？？？
*looks at him like he’s seen a ghost*
？？？
*voice like velvet, weak*
…You… came back to me.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*confused*
What? No—I… You need help.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Calls for an ambulance. But when he turns back, he’s gone*
No blood. No sign of a body. Just a strange silver pendant left on the ground.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Picks it up—an old symbol etched into the metal. It burns cold against his skin*
Someone standing on a nearby rooftop, watching him from the shadows, rain trailing down his face like tears.
？？？
*quietly*
He doesn’t remember… But he will. I’ll make sure of it. This time, no one will take you from me.
He belongs to Jeon Jungkook.
“The Man With Silver Eyes”
Taehyung's apartment
Early morning.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Jolts awake*
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Heart races. He had another strange dream—flashes of a ballroom bathed in blood, whispers in a language he doesn’t understand, silver eyes in the dark*
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Rubs the back of his neck. It’s sore—like someone touched him there in her sleep*
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Suddenly his eyes went on silver pendent*
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*The silver pendant lies on his nightstand. He’s sure he left it in his bag last night. He stares at it*
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*muttering*
I need more sleep…
Taehyung arrives for his shift. He tells his best friend and fellow intern, Marissa, about the alley and the man who vanished.
Marissa
*playfully skeptical*
You sure you didn’t just hallucinate a hot vampire dude? Maybe your sleep-deprived brain is writing fanfiction now.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*flatly*
I got blood on my coat. It’s not fiction.
Jungkook stands before a wall of monitors—feeds from street cameras, Taehyung’s apartment building, even the hospital’s security system.
Min Yoongi
You’re watching him again. You’re slipping, Jungkook. He’s human. He’ll break.
Jeon Jungkook
He’s not just human. He’s him. I feel it. His blood called to me.
Jeon Jungkook
*Touches the screen gently, eyes locked on Taehyung's image*
Jeon Jungkook
*softly*
This time, I’ll protect him properly. No one will come between us.
Taehyung returns home to find a bouquet of blood-red roses on his kitchen table.
There’s no card. No one has access to his place.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Checks the locks. Intact*
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Notices: the pendant is gone from the nightstand*
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Phone buzzes*
Taehyung took out his phone from his pocket and saw a from unknown number
Unknown number: “You’re safe now. Sleep well, caro mio."
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Stares at the message, every instinct screaming run. But another part of him—the part that’s been dreaming of silver eyes—feels something disturbingly close to comfort*
Jeon Jungkook
*Watching from the building across the street, expression unreadable*
“The First Bite”
Taehyung at a bookstore café, flipping through an old mythology book.
He’s been researching the symbol from the pendant—something about it has been nagging him. It shows up in obscure texts under names like “The Sigil of Eternal Bond” or “The Blood Oath Crest."
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Just curious about pendent and wanted to search about it*
Most of the references are pre-medieval. Cult stuff. Some mention vampires, bloodlines, and… reincarnation.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Eyes widen*
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*whispering to himself*
…What the hell is this?
Suddenly, the air shifts. Cold. Heavy.
He looks up—and he’s there.
Black coat, pale skin, silver eyes that seem to see through him.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*tense, rising*
You. You were in the alley. I—I called an ambulance, but you vanished.
Jeon Jungkook
*calm, controlled*
I’m sorry for scaring you. I didn’t mean to disappear. I was… grateful. I wanted to thank you in person.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*skeptical*
You knew where I lived. How?
Jeon Jungkook
I didn’t. I only knew you’d be here. You’ve been thinking about me, haven’t you?
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*doesn't respond*
Jeon Jungkook
*steps closer*
Jeon Jungkook
*smiling faintly*
It’s okay. I’ve been thinking about you too.
Taehyung lets himself be convinced to have dinner with him—part curiosity, part fear, part... something else. He’s charming, articulate. But there's a strange intensity to him. Everything he says feels layered, like there’s more underneath.
When he touches his hand, his vision flickers: A flash of a different time, another life—a castle, him in a blood-red dress, his lips on his throat.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Pulls his hand sharply*
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*breathless*
What was that?
Jeon Jungkook
*quietly*
You’re remembering.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
......
Taehyung's apartment, late night
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Stares at himself in the mirror. His reflection looks… off. Pale. His pulse feels weaker*
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Then he sees it—two faint puncture marks just below his collarbone*
He doesn’t remember anything after dinner. His neck aches. The dreams are sharper now—Jungkook's voice in his head, calling him Vince.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Drops the towel*
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Phone buzzes*
Unknown number: “You’re mine, even if you don’t know it yet.”
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Fingers tremble*
Jeon Jungkook
Jungkook at his penthouse balcony, blood on his lips, whispering to the wind.
Jeon Jungkook
*soft, possessive*
One taste… and you’re mine again.
