Chapter Text
You had to admit, this situation was… weird.
You had first come across Jaehee, smiling as she welcomed you into the party hall which was booked for the RFA party. Zen approached next, saying that he was excited to meet you, and hoped to get along well with you. After that, it was Yoosung who bounded over and hugged you tightly, saying that it was nice to have a face to go with your name. Then Jumin arrived at the party with V, both of them were formal in their introductions but you could pick up some happiness too. Finally, it was the turn of the twins to arrive… An hour late. Saeran was rather blunt in his greetings, whereas Seven did a similar thing to Yoosung, and hugged you tightly.
For about two hours, everyone was happy, talking to the guests and raising funds, seeming as that was the party’s aim. After that, guests began to leave slowly for about another hour. That left you and the RFA alone after a while, but all of them seemed reluctant about leaving, which… was confusing. It was a nice, warm, sunny day… Why wouldn’t they want to leave?
But then… You began to feel almost sick. First a dizziness had overtaken your body, then you began to feel really thirsty. Before you then collapsed, Zen grabbed hold of you and assisted you to a side-room furnished like a meeting room, which was only accessible to the RFA during the party. It was more comfortable, and because of that, Zen told you to take a short nap before he ran off to get the other RFA members.
Now, you were surrounded by them all as you roused yourself up from your sleep.
“Careful now… You might be a little dizzy at first, but you’ll get used to it,” Jumin stated, helping to keep you steady in your attempt at standing up. “It took Yoosung, Assistant Kang, and Saeran some time to get used to it too.”
“Get… used to what?” You looked between everyone who was stood around you, and gave all of them a confused look as they stared at you. Some people - V, Jaehee, and Zen - gazed on in worry. Others (Jumin and Saeran) had very serious looks on their faces. The rest of them – Seven and Yoosung – were grinning.
As you went to move your neck, there was a sudden stinging sensation which made you hiss and wince. Slowly, you went to touch where your neck stung, but as soon as you made contact, you had to bite your lip to stop the pain. And that hurt too.
“We’re seriously going to have to reconsider renaming, you know…” Seven muttered, still grinning quite goofily. “Forget the RFA, we should be the VFA! The Vampire Fundraising Association!”
“Vampire?!” Everyone was still and silent at your scream, before you started shaking your head and separated yourself from them. “You’re kidding me, you’ve got to be fucking kidding me!” Ignoring how uneasy you felt on your feet, you pushed past them and began to make your way towards the doors of the hall.
Quickly, V went and grabbed hold of one of your arms and shook his head. “Don’t go outside, please, trust me…”
“Let go!” You pushed V back, and he ended up falling onto the floor as he was unable to steady himself with his cane fast enough. “I don’t know if you’re all aware, but I am very human and I’m not falling for such a stupid prank! Is this the entire reason you got me to join the RFA? You thought I was gullible?!” You shoved the doors open, and began to walk outside.
The sunlight was bright, and it was hot.
A bit too bright and hot.
You ended up screaming at the burning feeling on your skin, but it was quickly stopped when you felt something be threw over your head. When you opened your eyes, you realised that it was Seven’s hoodie that was covering you. “Please… Come back inside. We’ll try to explain everything to you… We don’t think you are gullible, it’s just that we weren’t expecting for this to happen to you… We actually had no idea that you were the only human amongst us.” He was staring at you with a serious look on his face, whilst Saeran was just behind him holding a dark umbrella up.
“You look like you need a drink too. You probably do need one, considering that you just turned into one of us.”
The twins quickly took you back into the party hall, and yet again, you were subject to the worried stares of the other RFA members. They were all a lot more serious too… You wanted to cry though… This was happening, this was actually happening…
“Perhaps… it would be best to leave her to Yoosung, Jaehee, and Saeran for now… They were all human once too, so it might be more comforting to talk to somebody who was once in the same position,” Zen stated just as Seven let go of your arms, but left his hoodie draped over your shoulders. “We should get her a drink…”
Jaehee took hold of your hand after that, and that… was when you noticed them for the first time… She had fangs, and what looked like a bite mark on her neck… You gave her a shocked look, before staring at the only two left in the room with you both too. The same went with Yoosung and Saeran… Both of them were just like Jaehee, and had fangs and bite marks…
The three of them sat down with you at a table, before Yoosung sighed. “I… I can’t believe that somebody decided to bite you. Were you asked if you could be bitten?!”
“I think that judging by her reaction, she wasn’t asked… idiot.” Saeran scowled, sitting back on his seat. “Though it would be nice to know whose brilliant idea it was to bite her.” You gave Saeran a slightly panicked look, so he sighed and fell silent. Yoosung kept silent too, and it seemed that Jaehee was worried about saying something, just in case she scared you more.
It took you asking a question to break the silence. “If the three of you are vampires, as you say that you are… How did it happen…?”
Saeran coughed, before leaning forward and resting his head in one of his hands. “You wanna know, huh…? Saeyoung bit me a few months ago. Our mother just so happened to be a vampire, whilst our father was a human. Saeyoung inherited the vampire genes, so he was born as one whereas I was born human. I…” Saeran looked scared as he tried to come up with the right words. “I was weaker anyway, but… being a human… it ended in me being put through so much more abuse…” Jaehee smiled reassuringly at Saeran, which made him smile back and nod. It must have given him some confidence to speak a little more. “Saeyoung ran away after a while. He was only able to come back for me a few months ago, but he said… maybe it would help in forgetting some of the past by being a vampire myself.”
Talking about his situation seemed to get to Saeran, and you could tell by the way in which his hand went to the bite mark on his neck. No wonder it looked like a fresher wound than Yoosung’s and Jaehee’s.
Speaking of Yoosung, he was the next one to explain how he became a vampire. It ended up turning into a long, rambling tale about how he wanted to be close to Rika, who had been bitten by V to become a vampire. He then asked if he could be a vampire too, and so, Rika had bitten him… And that was the condensed version of the story. All the speak of how he thought Rika was a magician and knew how to use magic, and also all of the talk about how you reminded him of Rika made you feel really, really confused.
Jaehee’s tale was simple: Jumin didn’t like the fact that his chief assistant was a human, as it meant that he was constantly able to smell human blood as he worked. He then got both her and Zen in on the idea of Zen biting Jaehee so that she was a vampire too, because Jaehee refused to be bitten by Jumin himself.
Following that, the three with you started answering any other questions which you had, in an attempt to reassure you.
Meanwhile, the other members of the RFA were in a separate room having a discussion with one-another about your situation.
“I’m not surprised she was acting all strange… I mean, she was human literally less than an hour ago! I’m not surprised she turned all dizzy and thought we were maniacs!” Seven huffed, opening a can of doctor pepper in a rather unorthodox manner by piercing it with a fang. Zen rolled his eyes as he opened his drink of beer normally, and took a quick sip.
“I just noticed that she didn’t seem to be feeling well, but then I realised that there was two trails of blood going down her throat… Nobody was near her, so I’m just wondering who thought it was a brilliant idea to bite her…”
V nodded, before he pinched the bridge of his nose. “She’s going to need to stay with somebody whilst she adjusts. We can’t have her… We can’t have her trying to harm herself because she didn’t want the change, and neither do we want her losing control.” He then pushed his sunglasses back up, as they had slipped whilst he held onto his nose. “I wouldn’t be able to stay with her… I’m almost blind. I could easily enough go outside when it’s daylight just because I can’t see…”
Jumin rolled his eyes, and began to head out of the room with a bottle of wine in his hands. “Perhaps… We should discuss this with her. Were we not getting her a drink, after all?”
By the point that those four had returned to you, Jaehee, Yoosung, and Saeran, you had started crying and were leaning on Jaehee’s arm whilst Yoosung and Saeran were behind you and to yours side respectively, trying to calm you down.
“Don’t worry… Please, don’t worry… Remember, you’ve got the seven of us to go to just in case you need support… All of us are vampires together, okay?” Yoosung whispered, before looking up and sighing. “It seems like the others are back now… Maybe talking to them might help too, they’ve been vampires for their entire lives!”
“N- No… I- I just want to lie down…” You pulled yourself apart from Jaehee then, and looked at the four who had just arrived at the table. You then noticed the wine in Jumin’s hands, and gave him a confused look. “Um… Aren’t vampires meant to drink only human blood…?” You then noticed the doctor pepper and beer in Seven and Zen’s hands, and your eyes widened. “H- How are you-?!”
“The media is filled with many false perceptions of vampires. We can drink other things, but we do need to feed upon human blood every once in a while. Not often though. Now, would you like some wine?”
“… Please, Jumin…”
