“The Blood Remembers”
Hospital supply room. Taehyung stares into a small mirror, trying to cover the sigil with makeup.
It keeps faintly glowing no matter what he does.
Marissa
*pounding on the door*
Tae? You okay in there? You’ve been gone twenty minutes.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*snapping*
I’m fine!
His voice echoes strangely. When he breathes, frost trails the mirror. Something is changing in him—and he knows Jungkook is behind it.
A church at the edge of the city
Taehyung tracks down an occult historian named Father Shinwo, who agreed to meet after he sent him the sigil photo.
Inside, candlelight flickers across ancient texts. Shinwo looks at him like he’s a ghost.
Father Shinwo
That mark… hasn’t been seen in over five hundred years. It belonged to the Bride of the Night.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*confused*
Who?
He pulls out an aged book—an illustration of a dark-haired boy in a crimson dress, marked over his heart just like Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
He...he
Father Shinwo
His name was Vince of Eldryn. The vampire prince who loved him defied all laws to bind his soul to his. When he died, he vowed to bring him back. Every few centuries… bearing his face are born. And they die. All of them.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*staggering back*
You’re saying I’m him?
Father Shinwo
Or a fragment. But he’s found you now. That mark is a blood claim. He’s rewriting your soul.
Father Shinwo
*Reaches for a vial of holy water*
Father Shinwo
We may still have time to sever it—
CRASH.
The stained-glass window explodes. Shadows pour in. Screams echo.
Shinwo is ripped away by something unseen. Blood splashes across the page.
And standing where the moonlight hits, untouched, is Jungkook.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*horrified*
What did you do?!
Jeon Jungkook
*calm, gentle*
I came to bring you home.
Jeon Jungkook
*Walks through the firelight like a ghost of a king, eyes locked on him*
Jeon Jungkook
*softly*
You’re waking up, Tae. You feel it, don’t you? The hunger. The knowing. You are Vince.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*Tries to run. He’s suddenly in front of him*
Jeon Jungkook
*Hand cups his cheek—possessive. Reverent*
Jeon Jungkook
*barely a whisper*
They’ll kill you if you fight it. I’ll kill them first.
Jeon Jungkook
*Leans in—fangs brushing his skin*
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*crying*
I'm not him.
Jeon Jungkook
*voice darkens*
You will be.
Kim Taehyung ( Ore )
*eyes wide, breath catching—then fade to black*
Inside the sealed coffin.
The lid cracks. Pale fingers curl over the edge.
A man's voice—ancient, seductive, furious—whispers:
