Chapter Text
Taehyung remembers the day as if it was yesterday.
When someone turns at the tender age of 15, that's when they're eyes change colors. One eye stays as the same color, the other eye turns into the color of their soulmates.
He remembers it vividly. He was sitting next to his best friend Jimin. Jimin already had his birthday and his eye was a beautiful shade of brown, it was a bit light, but pretty at the same time.
December 29 11:59
"You ready, Tae?" Jimin asked with barely concealed happiness. Taehyung was in his room, his eyes shut tight and nodded.
December 30 12:00
"Happy birthday, Tae!!" Jimin cheered and Taehyung opened his eyes and looked at Jimin.
All of a sudden, Jimin's face turned pale and his mouth dropped open.
"What?" Taehyung asked,"What's wrong, Jimin?"
Jimin didn't say anything. Taehyung frowned and pull out his phone and pulled up the camera app and almost screamed out loud. His left eye which used to be brown, was now a bright amber.
He was soulmated to a vampire
----
2 years later....
Taehyung sighed. He looked in the mirror at his bright amber eye. He took the contact in his fingers and brought it up to his eye. He took a deep breath and tried to put it in. He blinked and closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening them again.
He gasped in surprise. His amber eye was now normal brown. He smiled, thinking he did it, until his eye started burning. He was confused, his eye was burning, it felt like it was on fire.
He quickly took out the contact, his eyes burning. He looked at it in the mirror. It was slightly red and the amber was as bright as ever. He sighed and rubbed his eye and out the contact in the trash.
He sighed and was staring at his reflection and felt his phone buzz.
Jiminie<3 7:12
Ugh....I HATE SCHOOL!
Taetae 7:12 Ikr. Can't wait til summmmeeerrrr!!
Jiminie<3 7:13>/p> Idk if I'm gonna last that long!
Taetae 7:13 You will!! FIGHTING!
Taehyung smiled and looked back up at his reflection before getting his backpack and going to school.
The problem about being soulmates to a vampire is that it was basically living in hell. Vampires are rare, but they do exist. They feed on human blood. Some unfortunate people ran into them and basically got sucked dry. Vampires are killers. And he had to be soulmated to one of them.
He shook his head as he entered. He went to his locker to get what he needed before he ran into Jimin.
"Hey!" Jimin said, leaning on the locker next to his, almost scaring Taehyung half to death.
"Jiminieeee!" Taehyung whined,"What did I say about scaring me!"
Jimin laughed,"But I love seeing your reactions!"
Taehyung pouted.
"Come on, don't do that!" Jimin said, pulling at his cheeks. Taehyung swatted his hands away, but stopped pouting.
They walked into their first period together.
"Hey, do you want to come to my house on tonight?" Jimin asked as they sat next to each other.
"Sure," Taehyung replied as he took out his materials from his backpack.
"Yay!" Jimin said just as the bell rang and class started.
After their first period, they parted ways, saying that they'll meet each other at lunch.
As Taehyung was walking through the halls, he felt a twinge of jealously at the people who have already met their soulmate and were holding hands and talking with each other. Most people have already found their soulmates and Taehyung envied them. There were the occasional people who didn't have soulmates, but they were almost guaranteed they would find them soon.
Taehyung sighed and kept his head down, in hopes that no one will pick on him today. Of course, that never happens.
Just as he was about to go into his second period classes, Jiwoon, his bully, confronted him again. He was one of the few who also didn't have a soulmate judging by how one eye was brown and the other was blue. He threw Taehyung against the lockers, laughing at him.
"Well, look who decided to show his face again,"Jiwoon said, smiling devilishly,"I don't understand why you still one here, brat."
Taehyung ignored him,"Excuse me, I have class." He was surprised at how his voice didn't waver.
"Woah, little kitten, standing up for himself, hm,?" Jiwoon said laughing at him,"How could anyone want to be friends with someone who's soulmated to a vampire. I can't believe someone as worthless as you even has a soulmate! I feel bad for your soulmate."
Taehyung lower lip started to tremble and he quickly bit it so that Jiwoon wouldn't notice. Jiwoon continued laughing as he punched Taehyung in the stomach and walked away. Taehyung limped into class, slumping down in a chair just as the bell rang and the teacher started class.
The rest of the day was uneventful, except that Jimin was livid when he heard about what happen to Taehyung and wanted to kill Jiwoon for hurting Taehyung. Luckily, Taehyung calmed him down before that happened.
----
Before he knew it, Taehyung was walking home with Jimin.
"But seriously!" Jimin said,"He does this to you everyday!! You need to tell someone!
"So that he can beat me up more? No thanks," Taehyung said, huffing.
"Tae," Jimin started, looking at Tae sadly.
"Enough, Jimin!" Taehyung shouted and immidiately regretted it when he saw the look of hurt on his best friend's face,"I'm sorry, I just....I don't want to talk about that right now..."
They walked the rest of the way in silence. Taehyung felt bad, the guilt eating him up inside. When they got to Jimin's house, Jimin went straight to his room and Taehyung stood in the doorway, debating weather he should follow Jimin or not. He was answered by the slam of a door.
Taehyung sighed before going to the kitchen to eat something. Jimin's parents were never really home. They always worked late. Taehyung's were no better. They freaked out when they realized that he was soulmates to a vampire and disowned him. They still send him money and stuff, but he lives in an apartment near school.
He was munching on an apple when he heard it. A whisper. It was calling him.
Taehyung stopped eating and got up and looked around, frowning.
Then, all of a sudden, a hand from behind him covered his mouth and his yelp was muffled. He kicked around, trying to see who the attacker was. He was flinging his arms around, trying to hit the person, but the person didn't move.
Taehyung bit the person's hand, but the person didn't even flinch. Taehyung tried to call for Jimin, but his mouth was still covered. He started to cry. Just then, a big flash of light shown, blinding Taehyung and the one second the man's hand slipped off of Taehyung's mouth, he screamed and then, everything faded to darkness.

Jimin was sulking in his room. Taehyung never usually lashed out at him and he was upset that he did. After a few minutes, Jimin felt like he should apologize to Taehyung, feeling bad for ignoring him when he's the one who invited him.
He opened his door and started towards the stairs when he heard strange scuffling noises. Like....someone was moving around? Thinking that Taehyung was doing something weird (which he does often) he shook his head and smiled to himself.
But then, as he started to walk down the steps, he saw a bright light. He sheilded his eyes from the brightness and heard a loud scream before the light disappeared.
Once the light disappeared, Jimin opened his eyes. He was still on the stairs, but a dread settling in his stomach.
That was Taehyung screaming, no doubt.
He ran down the steps and into the kitchen, his heart dropped to his stomach. Taehyung was no where to be seen. All that was left was an apple on he ground with a few bites out of it and a big scratch mark on the table as well as blood.
Jimin was freaking out. He paced the room, his hands in his hair.
Taehyung was gone.
Taehyung was gone.
Taehyung was gone.
