Immortals

“What is it that you want to know exactly Seungri.” Hyun Suk bridged his hands in front of him on the desk just now realizing again why he’d expelled those four from the coven in the first place. The two he sired were a threat to his place as coven leader and his existence the closer they were to him because he’d been young and foolish back then; but with the other two that were sired by her they could take the coven with no questions asked. He’d always worried that Seungri or Hyunseung would find out his secret. When Hyunseung went crazy he thought if he exiled Seungri the secret would be safe. What a fool he’d been.
“Is it possible for a human to resist our abilities?” Seungri didn’t bother with being delicate because he had been sitting on this information for days.
“Now why would you be asking a question like that?” Yang asked, slightly intrigued. Maybe there would be something good to come out of this visit after all.
“Do you know the answer or not? Hyungnim I came to you because you are the oldest vampire in the coven, the one who sired me and my blood. The least you can do is give me an answer.” Seungri’s patience was wearing thin.
“Unfortunately I don’t know the answer…” Yang replied slowly.
“Jenjang. I knew this was a waste of time.” Seungri muttered, turning to leave.
“But I do know someone who might.” YG finished. Seungri stopped mid-stride and turned to face him.
“Nugu?”
“What’s in it for me?” Yang countered. Typical Hyun Suk, always in it for the profit.
“You get to keep whatever information you get out of this meeting.”
“Not interested.” It was a weak lie and they both knew it.
“Fine. I won’t ever mention your secret again after today. If you want I can get Jiyong to erase the memory.” Ri said and could barely contain his smirk when he realized Yang was going to take the deal. He said he would erase the memory but he didn’t say which one. The conversation about this deal would be useless after he got what he wanted. That was one of the better tricks he’d picked up from his sire. Manipulate everything to your advantage.

“Jiyong erases that memory as soon as this meeting is over, alda? And anything I hear in this meeting I get to hold onto and use as I please. Do we have a deal?” Yang said obviously thinking that he was getting the better bargain.
“Deal.”

“Can you call her down here for a moment?” Hyun Suk spoke into an intercom system, no doubt to the receptionist at the front of the building.
“Yangsangnim are you certain? She won’t be pleased with the interruption.” The young woman’s voice came back.

“She joined this coven with full understanding that she was to come when I called. Displeased or otherwise. Call her in.”
“Ne, Yangsangnim. I will do that now.”
“Gamsahabnida.” He let the line go dead then turned his gaze back to the young vampire who sat with a similar posture in the chair across from his. It was undeniable once you really thought about it that he was Yang’s kin. Luckily no one had thought about it… Yet.
“How long did it take for you to realize?” He figured that it couldn’t hurt to ask if Seungri was just going to forget it later.
“Shortly after you kicked my brother and I out. There was only one reason for me to possibly be that big of a threat and it wasn’t my michin hyung. You have kept one sibling and tossed out another before with no thought to it. Pair that with my appearance and go back in the family register far enough and it wasn’t that hard to find you. What I don’t get is why throw out Jiyong and Youngbae with us? They aren’t even a part of your sire line.”
“You are still as short sighted as you ever were. They are the same age as me and up until I threw them out they were gaining favor in the coven. Had I let any of you stay I wouldn’t be sitting here and you wouldn’t be about to get the information you were so desperate for.”
“If we were such a threat why call us back?” Seungri asked, but before Yang could answer the door was flung open angrily.
“I was in the middle of recording, what is it?!” A woman’s voice demanded angrily. Yang gestured his pen to Seungri, who turned around quickly to face the newcomer. Anyone who would storm into his sire’s office like that was obviously the bigger threat.
“Seungri-sshi?” She raised an eyebrow.
“He had a question. I am clearly not experienced enough to answer it but-”
“Hajima. You think too loudly.”

“Mianhae. Chaerin I didn’t realize.” Hyun Suk apologized and Seungri looked at him like he’d lost his mind. Yang never apologized… to anyone.

“Not you. Him.” She pointed at Seungri.
“He doesn’t know any better. I didn’t tell him anything about you before calling you down here.” Hyun Suk explained almost sounding like yet another apology. She ignored him, her attention on the young vampire. Seungri’s head started to hurt and before he realized it, images and thoughts were being plucked out. CL was suddenly close enough to share airspace with him, her hands planted firmly on the sides of his head.

“Aju yeppeun. This girl of yours. Strong too. Naturally you and your friends would want to pursue her. Don’t be fooled. She may look like a mouse, but rarely are women like her ever what they seem. To answer your question for a human to resist our abilities it isn’t impossible, but for a human to brush them off so completely it is. I have only seen something like that happen twice in my lifetime and it was never done by a human. Interesting that even after joining a coven they kept to my ways. Gamsahabnida young one, you have what you need and now I have what I need. Annyeong.” She whispered before releasing him and he dropped to the ground still clawing at his skull to get the burning to stop but Chaerin didn’t bother to check on him.

“Jigeum, If you don’t mind, I came when I was summoned and did what was asked. I will be going first.” She said and then burst out the door the same way she came in.
“jiog eun museun il?” Seungri demanded when he could stand and had his eyesight back.
“Chaerin is a rare psychic and is actually the oldest vampire in the coven not myself like you previously thought. I should have known she wouldn’t tell you anything where I could hear it. She doesn’t trust me. However you still have the other half of our deal to make good on.”
“Ne. I will call him.” Seungri grumbled as he tried to clear the fog from his mind. The phone rang until the line clicked up.
“Hyung can you come down to the coven. I made a deal for some information and I need you to help me make good on it.” Seungri said then hung up before Ji could ask any questions. Hopefully after this no one would be digging in his mind again for a very very long time.
**********************************Jiyong POV*****************************
Jiyong and the others knew where Ri had gone today. He’d been uncomfortable, angry and almost scared the past few days leading up to it but what they didn’t understand was why so when Jiyong got the call from Seungri he didn’t hesitate to start grabbing up his jacket and keys and heading out the door. The others were too busy with their food to bother with it. Besides they knew if Ri was in trouble then Jiyong was his best and safest bet, especially against Yang.

He pulled up to the building as fast as his wheels could carry him and stopped in the closest spot storming up the stairs to the top floor office. Not even waiting to be announced and slamming the doors open. It struck Yang as funny that he did it in much the same way that his sire had.

“Ah Jiyong right on time. Well late as usual but since you are busy these days I suppose it doesn’t matter.” Yang said looking pleased to see him. He had always preferred Jiyong out of all the coven members but no one ever knew why.
“What do you need Dongsaeng.” Jiyong said searching for Seungri and frowning when he picked up on the pained emotions his friend was giving off.
“What happened? Yang did you do something?”
“Ani. He just had his first experience with your sire. I don’t have to remind you the toll that takes on someone do I?” Yang chuckled.
“Gwaenchan-a. I need you to erase a memory for me.” Ri coughed out.
“Wae?”
“Yang and I made a deal. I will explain later just do it.” Seungri said weakly still clutching onto his head like he was dizzy and it was the only thing keeping him in place.
“Alright. Think of the memory you want to forget. Focus on it like it is happening right now. It will start to fade, but you can’t fight it otherwise this won’t work. Got it?”
“Ne. Gaja. I want to leave this office as fast as possible. He focused on the earlier conversation and pulled it back completely to memory from the point after he told Yang that he knew all the way up to Chaerin entering the room making sure to put the important details in the back of his mind away from this memory. It started to fade but it wasn’t painful like when CL tore through his memories it was more like plucking strings than ripping something away. Then it was gone.
“Done.” Jiyong said. Seungri didn’t bother to wait for another word as he left.

********************************Chaerin POV*****************************
Chaerin was certain the girl from Seungri’s memories was special. It was something in the way seungri’s memory of her blood smelled. Something in the way her grey eyes looked and the way she carried herself. It was familiar. Everything about that girl was oddly familiar and it bothered her. Who are you?

“Chaelin-ah. Do you really not know the answer?” Chaerin turned towards the voice to see the girl from Seungri’s memories sitting on a lounge chair behind her with a smug expression on her face. Unlike how Seungri envisioned her this woman before CL was different. She wasn’t human.
“How did you get here?” Chaerin demanded.
“Well when two people of the opposite sex are in love…” The girl started.
“You know that isn’t what I meant.” Chaerin snapped.
“Oh you mean why am I sitting here talking to you? I came to give you a warning. Don’t trust the faces around you. Someone is coming for big bang, for the entire coven and you just gave him what he wanted by putting them all in the same place. Minji’s death won’t be the last.”
“What are you talking about? Minji is fine. The coven made a mistake.”

“Did they really? Saying that they found her head separate from the rest of her seems like an awfully big mistake. You didn’t leave her with Bom and Dara, now, did you?” The girl tilted her head like she was contemplating what CL had just said. Before CL could fully process what the girl in front of her had meant Jiyong was passing right through her and she was gone in a cloud of mist.

“Chaelin-ah? Gwaenchan-a? You look like you have seen a ghost.” Jiyong ran a hand over her jaw in a comforting gesture before letting it fall back to his side.

“Maybe I have.” she muttered thinking about what the vision had told her. Don’t trust the faces around you… you didn’t leave her with Bom and Dara, now, did you?
“Mwo? Did you have another vision?” He started looking at her to make sure she really wasn’t hurt this time. Her visions had on occasion been able to cause physical injuries before.
“Is Minji really gone?” CL asked him.
“Ne. They found her outside the dance studio. almost two weeks ago I think. Dae isn’t taking it too well. Wae?” Jiyong asked.

“Jiyong-ah something is wrong.” She told him. scrambling to dig her phone out of her bag. She dialed Bom’s number. It rang until the voice mail clicked on. She let out a curse and took off running to the sound booth where the girls had been recording.
“Rin wait!” Jiyong took off after her but she had always been faster than him and she made it to the sound booth long before he did freezing in the doorway when she saw the writing on the glass.
Bom was a little busy when you called. Thanks for letting me back in. See you soon RinRin. -HS
Whoever it was used the nickname minzy had given her and she felt the rage seep through her veins like molten lava. Her eyes turned a reflective green and she dug her perfectly manicured nails into her palms.

“Saekki I should have killed him in Thailand when I had the chance.” Jiyong muttered walking over to his sire and holding her close. He knew she was allowing him to be there.. allowing him to comfort her. If not he’d have been dead on principle.

“Gwaenchan-a Chaerin. I will make it okay. I promise.”
“I should have known. This is my fault. I let a child fool me and now my most trusted friends are gone.” She was crying out of guilt and little pinkish stains started to fall on his shirt.

“Ani. You look at me. This is not your fault. This would never have happened if Yang hadn’t been a sentimental fool.”
“You know something about the one who did this?” Chaerin looked up at him eyes turning green again as the thirst for revenge hit her.
“Ne, but I will handle it Rin. You have to let me and the others handle it. The one who did this is our responsibility. I should have handled it before this, but now it is gotten personal. I will talk to you later. anjeonhan.” he kissed her forehead then walked out of the door and back up to Yang’s office.

“Sorry Jiyong but you’ve lost your mind if you think I am going to let a child fight in my stead.” CL swore to herself then left to meet with a very old friend who might be able to help her.
*****************************Reader POV*******************************
You were working again that night after doing a shift at the cafe earlier in the afternoon. It hadn’t really shocked you when you saw the five of them in your section again. They were really going to play this game. Fine. You could handle this.

“You always work this much?” Seunghyun teased as you sat their drinks down.
“Not everyone can be international superstars.” You replied coolly then went to the next table to pick up orders.
“Sheesh hyung what did you do to her?” Daesung joked.
“I spoke to her Halmeoni. and followed her to her other job. She’s reckless when she’s on edge. maybe an advantage for us.” T.O.P. chuckled a little bit at the memory. then thought about what else had happened.
“Have any of you noticed anything off about her?” He pointed in the direction she’d walked where she was now talking cheerfully to some other patrons and taking their drink orders. She practically skipped over to the bar which should have been impossible with all the patrons but they seemed to just move out of her way. Even the guys that had been checking her out and saying they were going to make a move just stepped aside for her. It reminded Seungri of what happened with them. No matter how crazy the fans got even if it was just a centimeter of space there was always that little bit of room.

“Other than the fact she broke that big guy’s wrist that day not really. You going somewhere with this?” Jiyong sort of snapped. His mind was still on the sight back at the studio and on Chaerin. She never broke down like that. In all the centuries that he’d known her even before he’d been turned she was this strong and beautiful creature who never cried and was never scared for herself. He knew she wasn’t just going to sit back for this and he hated it.

“Hyung you all right? You haven’t been the same since you left the house earlier. Even with my eyes blocked your aura… It looks bad. like anger and disgust and sorrow.” Daesung asked.

“Dara and Bom are dead.” He said before taking another swallow of his drink.
“Hyunseung?” Seungri questioned. He already knew the answer. He’d always known when his brother was nearby. He’d just foolishly hoped he had been imagining things when he felt him in the coven.
“Ne.” The look on his face was one that Seungri knew intimately. it was the same face that Seungri made when he lost Maggie.

“Does he really think it will do any good challenging her?” Youngbae looked up from where he’d been watching y/n make her way through the crowd then settle herself behind the counter. It reminded him a little of Adeline but he shook that thought away.
“You’re going after him this time? I guess when it’s the love of your life killing off that saekki is all good? What about when it was Maggie and Addie and Elizabeth? They just didn’t matter? By the way with him around should we even be wasting our time on the waitress?” Seungri snapped.

“Chaerin isn’t just some human I developed a crush on. If you four hadn’t been stupid and fallen in love with your food in the first place Hyunseung wouldn’t have gone after them. They’d still be dead but you wouldn’t be messed up about it and please don’t tell me you’re falling for this one too.” Jiyong shot back.
“Crazy bastard or not if you kill him the council will have your head Jiyong. Don’t you get it? it’s the same thing you told me in the 70′s he has us in a gosh damned corner and there is nothing we can do about it. Not as long as my sire is protecting a secret that has everything to do with him. You know what fuck this. Do what you want Jiyong. I’m out.” Seungri hopped up and stormed over to the bar where you were slinging drinks now instead of running tables. Myongjin had a family emergency come up so there you were.

“What’s all that about?” you said gesturing between him and the booth where he’d just been. You hadn’t heard what was said but it was clear that a fight had just broken out between the five of them. You found yourself wondering why other than knowing that Seungri was pissed no one had seemed to notice.

“Nothing.” Seungri rumbled and you put a glass of whiskey in front of him.
“Look I’m offering therapy here for the price of a drink so if you change your mind I’m all ears and your secret’s safe with me.”
“its about my brother.” Seungri muttered. He said it below the normal human hearing level trying to see if what T.O.P had been getting at wasn’t just his friend being on edge and see if his hunch from earlier about the music was right too. You were at the other end of the bar and looked up at him like he’d just shouted it to the world. He hadn’t. He’d barely whispered it.

“What are you?” He asked his eyes never leaving yours. You found yourself trapped in that gaze until you heard your name called by your friends.
“Hey!” Autumn sing songed as she walked up with Lilly following close behind.

“Hey girl. What you having?” You asked swapping back to that easy southern drawl of yours.
“Whatever you gave him.” She pointed a thumb at Seungri and grinned.
“Whiskey on the rocks I should have known. You want the party version or are you heart broken tonight?” You asked. It was an inside joke because of something that happened in Atlanta one night. She’d just broken up with a boyfriend and was miserable but when she ordered a whiskey on the rocks the bartender brought back Jack and coke instead of a straight shot. She was already drunk by that time so she said I asked for whiskey straight sugar I need heart broken whiskey not the party version.
“Ah why the hell not? Break my heart again Lex.” She replied and you laughed scooped the ice into the glass and poured up the amber colored liquid passing it to her and moving onto the next patron. You knew the moment that Lillie saw YB and you grabbed onto her wrist.
“Not tonight Lil. There’s something going on and they don’t need our help.”
“Hey.” Yb’s voice came from right next to her and you let her wrist go glaring at the Big Bang member but you didn’t say anything. Instead opting to wipe furiously at the glass in your hand until you heard a crash and felt a sharp pain in your hand.

“Jenjang!” You cursed and you saw all five of the band members and a couple of other clubbers looking at you. No not you… Your hands.
“Bad move, tough girl.” Seungri chuckled under his breath then took another swig of his whiskey.
“Hyolin. Can you step back here for a moment?” You hollered for another one of the waitresses and made your way to the girls bathroom only to notice that Seungri was at your side.
“I don’t need your help. Its just a cut.”
“There’s glass still in your hand and trust me at this point yes you do need my help. More than you even know. Why’d you let him get to you?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Youngbae. I know he bothers you. we all do. You ever stop to think why that is? You look a little pale by the way. Have you been sick?”
“Mwo? Now you want to act like my boyfriend instead of my boss? What gives you the right?” You demanded wanting to take some of the pent up anger from what happened with the glass and direct it anywhere but inward. Something weird was going on and you were terrified and something in you was still screaming that it had to do with those five.

“Do you ever not pick a fight, woman, I am trying to help you right now. I can always go back to my whiskey. Its better company anyway.” He said thumbing in the direction of his abandoned drink.

“ Ka. if you want to go then there’s no reason for you to be here. No I haven’t been sick. I don’t get sick. so lay off will you? and boss or not stay out of here its the girls bathroom.” You slammed the door in his face and leaned on it for a moment trying to clear your head before heading to the sink to rinse your hand off and get the glass out of it. You let out a loud gasp of pain as it pulled loose with a pop and noticed that your eyes were no longer grey but a violent silver. As soon as you tried to really see it they were normal again.

“What the hell is going on with me?” You muttered heading over to the first aid kit in the corner and going to put gauze over the gaping hole in your hand only to find that you didn’t need it. The cut was small and would be covered up easily with a large band-aid. It didn’t even seem big enough for the pieces of glass you pulled from it anymore. I could have sworn it was worse than that. You thought, but you put the band-aid on anyway and headed out the door where Seungri was still waiting.
“Don’t you ever get tired of following me around? What are you a vulture or something?”

“Or something sounds about right. How is your hand?” He chuckled but you could tell it was an attempt to hide how nervous he was. He still had his eye on the crowd where a few people were staring at you like you were a plate full of grilled meat.

“Gwaenchan-a. Not even cut as badly as it seemed. Do I pass whatever test this is? Yah!” You yelped when he grabbed you by the wrist and lifted the injured hand up to look at it. He didn’t bother to be polite either instead ripping off the band-aid and looking at the wound. Where a big gash and a few smaller holes should have been there was only a shallow cut.
“That’s not strange to you?” he demanded throwing it back like he was annoyed that something disgusting had gotten on his hand.

“Ani. I got lucky. Wae?” You rubbed at your wrist and studied the man in front of you.
“That’s not luck and part of you knows it. When do you turn 25?”
“About a month from now. Not that I can see how it matters.”

“Shit…” He muttered. His mind went back to the woman Hyunseung had killed in England, T.O.P’s girl. Never got sick, only gotten bruises when she should have had broken limbs, even large gashes would turn into minor scrapes. Then about a month before she’d been supposed to turn twenty five she’d started coughing up blood. It wasn’t til after her death that they found out why she’d been sick. If Y/n really was the same two things had just become very certain for Seungri. First Chaerin had been right about you not being a mouse and second they were all fools if they kept this hunt going.
“Look pick up your last paycheck tomorrow. You don’t work here anymore and keep your friends out of my club.” He said.

“What?! Seungri, you can’t be serious it was just a broken glass. Does it even matter to you that I need this job?” You scoffed.
“If you really think this is about a glass you’re more blind than I thought.” He said. I’m doing this to protect you. You thought you heard him say.
“Yeah, you’re protecting me, whatever. I’ll get Autumn and Lillie out of here.” You bit back and pushed past him.

Notes

Immortals series. At least on Seungri’s end of things we are picking up right where we left off. As promised there will be at least one new character added into this one. Anyhow, I hope you all are still enjoying this series. In this series Hyunseung is meant to be Seungri’s biological brother and they are both related down the line to YG. I thought it was a good fit because of the possibility that Hyunseung was jealous of Seungri after going mad due to the transformation.
