a lot of information

There is no more sound in the room as Yoongi enters it, going to sit on one of the couches. Jin enters the room next, my hand still in his.

“Our little guest is finally up.”

I immediately feel shy and intimidated by the different gazes or stares on me. I kind of freeze and don’t move as I hear some of them chuckle.

“You don’t have to be scared, we won’t hurt you.”

“I’m not… scared. I just feel… intimidated?”

The two that I saw in the kitchen before, laugh between them and then look at me again.

“Still. We won’t hurt so there nothing for you to be stressed about. “

I look at the one talking as he smiles.

A dimple appears on his cheek as he smiles and his eyes become a bit smaller. He has light hair, looking like it’s in the middle of blond and orange which looks quite nice on him. His eyes look very warm and gentle as he motions me to come closer.

I take a few steps forward, getting a bit closer to them.

“Jin, you did a good choice with the dress. She’s really pretty with it.”

“See? I told you it would fit her.”

“Yeah, you are beautiful with that sweetie.”

I immediately turn my head, recognizing the voice and the nickname the person called me.

I see him smile, as he is standing on my left. His skin is extremely pale, almost as white as a sheet of paper and almost as pale as Yoongi’s one. He has brown slightly curly hair, has blue piercing eyes and a slight smirk is on his lips.

“Wait. I know your voice.”

“Oh? You recognized me? That’s so nice of you sweetie.”

He giggles, almost like a girl which contrasts with his very low voice.

“Yeah I recognized you. Because you’re the freak that scared me when I first came in the bedroom. And because you’re the one I heard right before I fainted at the bottom of the stairs.”

“A freak? Ow, your words hurt sweetie… I never meant to scare you...”

I see the guys laugh at him as I chuckle a bit nervously.

“And could you call something else than sweetie? It’s making me slightly uncomfortable...”

“Aw, but why? It’s a cute nickname for a cute girl...”

“Just… No… I already have someone calling me with cheesy names like that...”

“You mean your boyfriend? The one who left without even looking if his girlfriend was near him?”

I wince at his words, still not believing that Jongdae didn’t look back at that moment. I start to look down, not really liking the way he talked about Jongdae.

“Taehyung, please if you’re going to say things like that, might as well keep your mouth shut.”

“But it’s true. She has to know the truth.”

I see the one sitting in the middle of the room sighing as he makes a sign at Taehyung.

“Everything in its time. There are many things to say and to talk about with her.”

Taehyung nods, going back with the two Jin caught in the kitchen. These two, laugh and tease him a bit before calming down when Yoongi asks them to do so.

“Anyway, I believe you don’t know everyone here.”

“No. I just know Jin’s, Yoongi’s and now Taehyung’s name. I don’t know about the others.”

He smiles at me, reaching out to shake hands with me. I shyly put my hand in his, shivering at how warm his hand is.

“I’m Namjoon, the leader of this band or group, whatever you want to call it. Nice to meet you.”

“Okay, nice meeting you Namjoon.”

“Here you have Jimin, being the blond one...”

He points the couch were Taehyung is sitting with the two others. The blond one looks at me and waves shyly with a smile on his lips, his sleeve being to long for him and hiding half of his finger.

“Hi cutie.”

Well, actually I would like to call you cutie…

“Hello, Jimin.”

He sends me a big smile in return as Namjoon starts to talk again.

“And next to him, you have Jungkook. Our maknae.”

“Sorry to ask that but… how old are you?”

“Hum… I’m twenty-one, why?”

He smiles at me, showing his bunny teeth.

“Then I’ll call you noona!”

I giggle a bit, nodding as I understand now.

“Well, then nice to meet you Jungkook.”

I then look around seeing if there is anyone that I don’t know now. My eyes land on a red haired guy with a bright smile. His bright personality seems to be visible on his face when he smiles. He’s standing quite straight and he looks like he wants to jump on the spot but prevents himself from doing it.

“Oh, right. This is Hoseok. He’s quite easy-going and you’ll have no problem getting along with him, unless you want to get him angry.”

“No.”

I turn to Yoongi who just talked.

“Just no. I’ve seen Hoseok mad once, I am not seeing it twice.”

“Oh, come on hyung, you’re talking about me as if I’m a monster.”

“You are when you’re angry.”

Hoseok’s laugh, which fills the room warms up my heart. How can he say someone like him, is a monster? He doesn’t even look like he can get angry…

“Anyway, we have lots of things to explain and to talk about with you. Take a sit princess.”

I look at Namjoon and stops.

“My name is (Y/n). So, I would appreciate it if you could call me by my name.”

“But I like calling you that.”

He smiles at me and somehow, his smile makes me weak in the knees. I sigh and frown as the others nod, agreeing that they like calling me nicknames. I whine a bit but end up sitting on one of the couches, next to Namjoon.

“What is it that you want to talk about?”

“Well first, we want you to know that you can’t really leave the house. Unless someone is with you.”

“Why? I mean, I have to go home or my parents and my friends will be worried.”

There is a silence following my answer and Namjoon clears his throat.

“I guess we should explain you what happened while you were unconscious...”

“What happened? And how long have I been unconscious?”

“It’s been six days. You see there would have been a way, from which you would already be home by now.”

“What do you mean?”

“Even if we wanted to keep you with us, we had agreed that under one condition, if this happened we would let you go.”

“What was that condition?”

“We know that this Jongdae boy is your boyfriend. And when we let you rest after your fall, we decided that if he was coming to get you, then we would let you go with him.”

“And I’m sure he came back, so why didn’t you do so?”

“We agreed that we would let you go if he entered the manor. He brought friends with him and if entered the mansion, he could have you back. But when his friends told him to go back inside, he chickened out.”

“That’s not possible, Jongdae is scared of almost nothing.”

“Yeah, he wasn’t scared. The girl with him was.”

“What?”

What are they trying to do?

“From what I understood she was with the entire group.”

I turn to Yoongi, not really understanding what he meant.

“But she was so scared that she held onto him the whole time, preventing him from coming inside.”

“See? He did want to come inside.”

“Yeah, but I think that the name Sunmin is familiar to you, isn’t it?”

What the-? Why the hell was his ex, doing here?

“She is the girl that clung onto him?”

They nod, making me tighten my fists.

That girl… she was the one that broke up with him and since she started regretting six months ago, she won’t leave him alone…

“And so, when he said that he preferred to stay with her outside than going inside with a smile, we thought that he might not deserve you.”

It hurts to know that he preferred staying with her instead of coming to help me.

“But… You can’t decide that for me...”

“We’re sorry but we thought you would be less hurt if you didn’t see that, face to face.”

“But! How do you want me to feel less hurt when you keep me apart from the one I love?”

“Oh please, you can’t say you love him. This word is for married couple.”

I turn to Taehyung with a frown.

“Well, excuse me but I love the boy I dated for two years and a half.”

“Wow, what a long time...”

“What’s your problem? Why are you so annoying?”

“It’s just that I find pathetic how you, humans, can get so attached to someone so quickly and so easily...”

What the hell?

“Excuse me but, humans? Last time I checked, you’re human too.”

He smirks again, making me confused.

“Start to know us before talking.”

I frown, not really understanding. Namjoon gently takes my hand, making me turn to him.

“That’s one of the main thing we wanted to talk to you about.”

I frown a bit, not really understanding.

“You see… we’re not really… like you.”

“Yeah, you’re freaks I got that.”

“Watch your words. We’re being nice with you so don’t start acting as a brat now.”

This time Yoongi speaks, almost growling his sentence. I flinch a bit, still managing to look at him in the eyes. I hear Hoseok and Jimin laughing.

“You found a tough one hyung. She really is fierce.”

“Yeah, well, we’ll see if she can keep that attitude for a long time.”

“Go on, explain me why you’re apparently not like me.”

Namjoon sighs, rubbing his eyes.

“Well, it’s on a physical side that we’re not the same as you.”

“What do you mean?”

“How old you think we are?”

“I don’t know. Why? What does it have to do with that?”

He chuckles and shakes his head.

“Just try to guess.”

I sigh, not understanding where he is going.

“I don’t know… maybe twenty for the youngest… I don’t know...”

He chuckles and nods.

“Alright, you take that age, you multiply it by ten and you have Jungkook’s actual age.”

I look at him with a neutral face.

“Are you trying to make fun of me? How could someone be living two hundred years?”

“But it’s true. Jungkook really is two hundred years old.”

“If you’re smart enough and if you remember the myth you humans created you should guess.”

“As far as I know, only vampire could live this long and only in legends...”

“Well, whatever. You got it right.”

I roll my eyes at Taehyung’s answer.

“Nice joke Taehyung. As if I would believe that you actually are vampire.”

“But we actually are vampire. And if you don’t believe us, one of us can show you.”

I scoff looking at them.

“Please do. I would like to see how you act to prove that you are vampire.”

Namjoon sighs and turns to Yoongi.

“Could you show her? You’re the one with the best control of yourself.”

He nods, closing his eyes for a moment. I look at him closely, still quite curious about if it’s true or not.

Yoongi tenses a bit, clenching his fists and as he moves slightly, I see two teeth going lower than his upper lip. Almost going down his chin. I chuckle, knowing that a smile disguise can do that. Although I’m quite surprised when he opens his eyes. They turned to a bright red, glowing as he fixes them on me. I look deeply in his eyes, their colour attracting me. I see him smirk lightly as he comes close to me. I have a slight movement of stepping back when he kneels down next to me.

“Would you trust me or not?”

“Hum… Why? I mean, why would I need to trust you?”

“So, I can show you.”

“What? Are you going to bite me or something?”

He smiles, taking my hand in his.

“Don’t worry, I won’t bite your neck.”

“W-What?”

He turns my hand, putting my wrist in view.

“It would be there. Just so I can show you.”

I frown, not really knowing where this is going. I feel my hands starting to shake and he seems to feel it, since his eyes become a bit softer.

“It will be as quick as saying ‘done’.”

I hesitate, not really knowing if it’s a safe thing to do if he really is a vampire. But his smile and eyes help me getting less stressed and I nod. I nod very slightly but he seems to see it.

He takes my wrist in his hand, putting it a bit higher, so it’s closer to his lips. I shake a bit in apprehension and I see him open his mouth.

In the next second, I feel the same feeling as a prick on my wrist which makes my arm twitch. He keeps a firm grip on it, preventing me from pulling away. I grit my teeth, feeling the pain of the prick on my skin and as weird as it seems, I feel shivers going from my wrist to my entire body. Soon Yoongi stops, pulling away as his tongue get the last drops of blood dripping from the two small holes.

Once he releases my wrist, I try moving it, but immediately feel pain and soreness. He smiles at me and closes his eyes, visibly trying to go back to normal. Soon his eyes go back to a deep brown which makes me let out a breath I didn’t even know I was holding. He pulls away and stand up, ruffling my hair.

“Do you believe us now?”

I look at the boys and I see some of them, simply sitting on the couches. And I quickly look at the three maknaes. Jungkook has his eyes at my opposite visibly not wanting to look at me. Jimin has his eyes set on me and I see that his cheeks are slightly red, his breath being slightly faster. As for Taehyung, he stares at my wrist, licking his lips.

I slightly pull away and look at Namjoon, as if asking why they are like that. He chuckles, patting my head.

“You know, even if there are way older than you, there are still young for vampires. The sight and smell of blood can easily drive them crazy.”

“I see...”

“That’s why we won’t let them feed unless someone is here.”

“What do you mean feed?”

“Well, we can eat human’s food but it just stops our hunger, it doesn’t bring us the nutriments we need to live. We can only survive by drinking blood.”

“Yeah, but how did you do until now?”

“We don’t drink any for a week or so and then all go in the city to feed. Then thanks to Jin-hyung mental abilities, we erase that moment from the people we feed on.”

“And why did you suddenly decide to take someone like me and decided to feed on her, hoping that she would accept?”

“Because you are someone special.”

“And how am I special?”

“Jin-hyung is actually two hundred and fifty years old, so he knew one of your ancestress.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I knew Johee. And I can tell that you really look a lot like her.”

“I didn’t even know her. My parents said I was three years old when she died and I can’t even remember her...”

“I see… She had accepted what we offer you but from the moment we got separated from her, we decided to keep an eye on her family. And when we saw you, we couldn’t prevent it. We had to get close to you and I had to get to know you. She was an excellent friend of ours and she was a really nice girl.”

“It’s weird to hear someone who looks so young talking about my grand-grandmother as a girl.”

“Well, it’s like that. She was just like you. Except that she was less aggressive and less fierce.”

“Well, I’m good like I am.”

“Anyway, we would like you to live with us.”

“What? Why? Why would I even want to live with you?”

Namjoon sighs and shakes his head.

“It’s been almost a week since you’ve gone missing outside this mansion. How do you think people would react to seeing you come back all of a sudden?”

“If I explain them-”

“Explain them what? That seven vampires took care of you until you were able to leave? They would think you have gone crazy noona.”

I look at Jungkook and sigh, biting my lower lip.

“But… I really want to go back with my friends...”

“We’re sorry (Y/n), but we can’t take the risk to let you go back. We have been hiding here since the two last centuries, we can’t let you break that...”

“But… Can’t I at least go see them a last time?”

They look at each other, as if asking each other.

“Please… I at least want to see Jongdae, Chanyeol, Baekhyun and the others a last time...”

“You know what? Let her go see them. Let her go see that Jongdae already replaced her and that her parents almost didn’t notice she was missing.”

“Taehyung!”

I look at Taehyung, glaring at him.

“Do you know how annoying and how mean you are? Like out of all of you, you seem to be worst.”

“I just want to you to understand that there is nothing and no one waiting for you outside of here. As you said, you humans quickly love a person, but you also forget extremely fast.”

I look down, knowing that it can be true for some people, but I also know that Jongdae isn’t like that…

“I don’t care. I want to see them.”

“Then let’s make a deal. We let you see them if you come back and stay here with us afterwards.”

“What does living with you include?”

“Well, as we said, we are going to feed on you. So, one of us, will a day per weak feed on you.”

“Okay… I guess, that’s… possible.”

“When it’s the elders, there’s nothing to worry. But for you three...”

He turns to Jungkook, Jimin and Taehyung.

“If you want to feed on her and if it’s your day, you have to be near one of us, so we can check that you don’t take too much blood.”

Taehyung rolls his eyes but nods as the two others nod with a slight smile. Then Namjoon turns to me with a smile.

“We’ll let you off the hook today because you must still be weak. But we will start tomorrow.”

“And when can I see the others?”

“I think Yoongi or I will accompany you see them next week.”

I nod, sighing. I did not plan this at all when I accepted going into that mansion with Jongdae

 

I don’t want to stay here… I really don’t like it.
