Chapter 12: Deadly Reunion
********************Reader POV*******************
“What are you?”
It seemed like that question followed you everywhere in your life time. You had always been different and no one ever let you forget. You didn’t understand it. It wasn’t like you’d asked for all of this. It started when you were little. Small things like being able to climb to the top of a very tall tree and jump down without getting a scratch on you or when you had to get immunizations for school the needle wouldn’t break your skin for some reason. It only got bigger from there. You were able to move across a room in the blink of an eye or smell something like the fact someone had eaten a cookie before school. The worst of it was when you accidentally broke a boyfriend’s ribs in three places and dislocated his shoulder by giving him a hug. It had been an accident but you had to go into homeschool because you were dangerous. Your mom even seemed afraid of you sometimes, but never your dad. In his eyes you could do no wrong but it was because of whatever curse you had that he’d died in that car accident and you had come away with barely a scratch. Your mother had just been relieved that you’d made it out and it had brought the two of you so much closer but the loss of your father had been hard and then when you found out your grandmother was sick you’d flown to South Korea at the first chance. It was a place for you to start over and now here it was more than two years later and that question was coming back to haunt you once again.
“Alex. I’m Alex y/n Park and whatever else that means. Annyeonghi gyeseyo.” You told him flatly. You should have known it was too good to be true. Normal bypassed your life a long time ago. Now look at you. You were sick and dying and still a freak and the only common denominator in all of this was apparently the men of YG Entertainment. Your phone rang as soon as you got outside of his door and you let out a curse.
“Halmeoni. Ne. I am running late I will be there as soon as I can. I will call the doctor and let him know. Ne. Ne. See you soon.” You told her and hung up the phone. You came out of an upscale apartment building and looked around confused. Great. Just great. I have no idea where I am.
“Chogiyo! Taxi!” You called and waved when you saw one stop at a red light up the road. You climbed in the back not realizing it was already occupied and gave him the address to the café where your car had been left. The driver just looked at the other passenger and caused you to realize what had happened.
“Joesonghapmida.” You apologized.
“Gwaenchanayo. It’s not often a pretty girl climbs into the same taxi as me without an invitation. Actually it is kind of a nice surprise. She’s in a hurry so go ahead and drop her off first. I can wait.”
“Jinjja?” You and the driver both turned to look at him. You with relief and the driver with confusion.
“Ne. Gaja.” He said.
“gamsahabnida.” You thanked him.
“Naneun Hyunseung ibnida.” He introduced himself after a few moments of awkward silence.
“y/n.” You replied quickly and quietly. Something about this guy was bothering you now that you’d been in the cab with him for a few minutes. It was almost like you’d seen him before but couldn’t pinpoint where. Your mind was going through all of the possibilities and trying to recall it when he spoke again.
“I don’t mean to pry but you seemed like you were in a hurry when you climbed into the cab and you are thinking awful hard about something. Is everything alright?” He asked then took a sip of a flask. The scent wafting out of the top of the container was strangely familiar and you had to stop yourself from reaching out or asking for it more than once.
“S-sure everything is fine. I just am running late to take my Halmeoni to a doctor’s appointment. That’s all.”
“So that wasn’t your boyfriend on the balcony?”
“Aniyo. He isn’t my boyfriend.” You replied curtly then sighed in relief as you saw the café come into view and your car exactly where you left it. You moved to pull the door open but hyunseung was already heading around the cab to open it for you and help you out.
“Joahyo. Then I don’t have to feel bad about this.” He leaned in and kissed you. It took you off guard and you froze but next thing you knew he was being ripped away much like Mino had been yesterday except this man went flying across the parking lot and slammed hard into the brick wall. Instead of being injured though he was laughing hysterically like he’d just gotten off a ride at an amusement park.
“Get out of here.” Seungri’s voice cut through the laughter and you saw his broad shoulders standing between you and Hyunseung.
“Say hello to your halmeoni for me.” Hyunseung said. It was unnerving and you felt something drop in the pit of your stomach. You pushed the words to the back of your mind and moved over to your car and left the two of them just like that. You didn’t know what was going on but the further you were from it the better. Besides that your grandmother was waiting on you.
***********************Hyunseung POV***************************
“Good to see you too little brother. You know it’s funny how you call me a monster. At least I make it to where my victims die painlessly. You got the last one pregnant and now you are making this one rot from the inside out. What kind of creature does something like that?” Hyunseung laughed pushing himself off of the ground and straightening out his suit. He watched as the girl left but Seungri’s eyes never left him.
“Oh come on. It’s been almost 50 years and you are just going to stand there? We don’t have to fight. I actually saved you trouble. If she’d given birth to that little runt and you’d never have joined me against Yang. How long do you think it would have been before he took them from you? He would have done so much worse than I had. You know it. I saved you the heartache of watching your wife and child be tortured.” Hyunseung said.
“You’re right hyung. I should thank you for destroying my one chance at happiness what was I thinking and I guess they should thank you for killing Elizabeth and Adeline and Minji as well.” Seungri said. The others had been watching close by, but they couldn’t wait any longer or he would disappear. The street was getting busy and it would be all too easy to lose him if he got out of the back lot where they were standing. The cab was gone but it wouldn’t be hard to find another if he chose to use it and there was always the chance of him going up to the roofs as well. That’s why Jiyong was staying back, just in case he ran.
“Don’t forget about Chaerin and that girl y/n. They won’t be a problem for you very much longer either. Jiyong hyung nice of you to join the party.” Jiyong landed on the ground with a strong but lithe motion in front of the vampire and stood. His eyes were a reflective red and he grabbed the younger vampire in a quick motion reminiscent of a viper.
“I swear to you, if anything happens to Chaerin, Seungri and the council will be the least of your worries.”
“You don’t scare me Jiyong. You should know that by now.” Hyunseung laughed.
“Jiyong he isn’t alone. We need to get out of here.” Youngbae was the one to see the movement first, a female vampire on the roof to the left of them Suhyun if he remembered her name correctly. Her brother wouldn’t be far behind if she was here. The two of them were dangerous alone, but together they were deadly. One of them could control the senses of a victim and the other was capable of paralyzing prey and making all of the nerves in the body react as they saw fit. Youngbae had crossed them only once before, back when he was in Egypt shortly after Adeline’s death, but now he was beginning to realize it wasn’t a coincidence.
“I guess I was wrong. Not all of you are stupid.” Hyunseung met Youngbae’s gaze as the revelation hit him and he chuckled darkly.
“We need to get out of here now. Its Suhyun and Chanhyuk. Jiyong listen to me you can’t save Rin if we’re dead. Seunghyun, Daesung go. He probably has someone following Alex.” Youngbae warned.
Yesterday when Mino had left with Alex Seungri had picked up his phone and called the others. Mino was right. He couldn’t keep what she was a secret anymore. There hadn’t been a new born vampire in over a century and if y/n actually was one of them she needed to be protected not hunted like a rabbit in a fox hole.
“How long have you known about this? Do you realize what could have happened if one of us had killed her? The council? Even with Chaerin being in their favor there would not be a place in this world we could hide if we broke that law. Y/n, if she is what you say, is descended from an original family. There is no telling which one either.” Jiyong’s temper was getting the better of him a lot these days because of what happened with Chaerin and because everything got quiet after that. No one else had died and they hadn’t seen Hyunseung anywhere. It made them all uneasy.
“Look can we meet? I need to tell you all some things and its better if I do this face to face Jiyong.” Seungri said into the speaker.
“fine the club one hour.” Jiyong snapped and hung up the phone.
***************************Reader POV*********************
You were livid. What the hell is going on? You wondered silently, but before you could even finish the thought you were coughing again. The car swerved to the right a little bit earning you a few screaming horns and a lot of angry Korean yelling.
“Mian.” you muttered and straightened the wheel out. The rest of the drive went smoothly, but when you arrived at your grandmother’s there was something waiting on you that you didn’t expect.
“What the hell are you two doing here? how did you even find my grandmother’s house?”
“It’s a long story.” Daesung said.
“Well I don’t have time to listen, kkojo. Halmeoni we’re going to be late!” you said shoving past them and inserting your key in the door.
“Wait what’s that sound?” Daesung said turning his head.
“Alex! Wait!” Seunghyun ran and pulled you back. You were out of range when the door opened the rest of the way and the blast hit sending the three of you flying backwards.
“Halmeoni! No! Get off of me! Halmeoni!” You struggled against the eldest one who was holding you back.
“Y/n. Y/n look at me. She’s gone. I can’t hear her heartbeat anymore she’s gone.” Daesung grabbed both sides of your face and forced you to look at him. You made a negating sort of hum and shook your head in denial.
“S-she has an appointment. We’re running late. I- I have to call her doctor. If we’re late he won’t see her. Just leave.” You knew you were going into shock but you couldn’t pull yourself back. You fidgeted with your phone trying to dial the numbers.
“Call the fire department. Y/n call the fire department!” Seunghyun ordered you causing the shocked thoughts to leave your head long enough for you to think clearly and his gaze didn’t leave any room for argument. You called and then went back to where they’d been standing.
“I called the fire dep…” They were gone but the fire trucks and police were pulling up in their place.
“Miss are you hurt?” A police officer asked.
“Aniyo.”
“Can you tell me what happened?” The police officer asked you. You were leaning up against your car.
“Ne. I got a call from her while I was at a friend’s house. She had a doctor’s appointment and I was running late. When I got here I opened the door and heard a noise. Then there was a loud bang and the house was on fire. Naneun…. I didn’t go in. My Halmeoni was in there wasn’t she?” You asked.
“Ne. We found her in the kitchen where the explosion originated. You didn’t live here?”
“Ne. I have an apartment in Itaewon.” You affirmed what he said.
“Is there anyone that can stay with you?” He asked.
“Aniyo. She was the only family I had here.”
“Is there anyone that had a grudge against your Halmeoni?”
“Mwo? No. How could she? She was just a halmeoni. My halmeoni. She was fighting cancer and went to charity functions and painted beautiful things. How could you think something like that?” You were starting to get upset again.
“Calm down. I am just trying to figure out what happened. If not her then can you think of anyone who might want to hurt you? Did you see anyone else here when you arrived?” He asked. You don’t know why you didn’t tell him about Daesung and Seunghyun but you kept it to yourself. Hell you doubted even if you had said something someone would believe you.
“No. For the last time no. I was born here but I didn’t come back until a couple years ago when she got sick. All I do is work, take classes, and take care of her. No, there is no one.”
“Can you sign this? We will get back to you when we have more information.”
“Gamsahabnida.” You replied and he left you to process what had happened. If there was one thing you knew it was that the police couldn’t give you the answers you were looking for, but there was someone who could. You dialed your phone as you climbed into your car and left the smoking remains of your grandmother’s house behind.
“Where are you right now?”
