"Jungkook, do vampires eat?"

"When we want to. We don't actually feel hunger for food, only for blood. But anything a human can do, we can do. Eating is just not about survival for us, it's more like an optional, occasional treat."

"So eating is like an indulgence, something we could enjoy, but we don't actually need?"

"Yeah, that sounds about right."

"That's fine with me actually. I don't always need hunger to eat, just boredom."

Jungkook laughs, "so you're gonna keep on eating like a human?"

Taehyung feigns a gasp, "of course! A life without food, human or not, is not worth living! Sometimes, food is the only satisfaction of my day."

The latter hums, "I've always wondered what it's like to be hungry. You wanna go eat something before going to my place? You seem to be thinking a whole lot about food right now."

Taehyung nods excitedly, "I want tteokbokki!"

"Right away, princess."

The latter whacks him on the back of his head, "yah! Stop calling me that!"

"But I'm spoiling you like a princess."

"If you don't shut up now, I swear to God I'll take the next train to Daegu-"

"Okay, okay. Sorry." Taehyung could swear he heard Jungkook mutter another princess under his breath, and he glares at him fiercely, hoping for lasers to somehow shoot out of his eyes and burn the hair off of Jungkook's head.

All Taehyung's fantasies about killing Jungkook cease, when he realises the other said something questionable.

'What did Jungkook mean, he's always wondered what it's like to be hungry? I mean, he's been hungry before, right? Before he was a vampire... Did he forget the feeling with time? Am I gonna forget too? Forget human emotions, like hunger? I wonder when he was turned, and how...' Taehyung takes another glance at Jungkook, realizing he still doesn't know the man at all.

"Oh look! We're here."

Taehyung snaps out of his muddled thoughts when they arrive at a cosy, small restaurant, that smelled of all kinds of spices. The food was warming up the air, making everyone who inhaled it giddy inside, and making all of Taehyung's worries long forgotten.

An ahjumma comes up to greet them, "how handsome you both are! But this one is so skinny, needs some meat on his bones", she says, chuckling, patting Taehyung on his back. He only answers with a shy smile, embarrassed. "So what will it be?"

"A big serving of tteokbokki, please." Jungkook answers, smiling at her.

Taehyung can't help but notice how loudly her pulse beats, how the vein on the side of her neck looks so inviting.

Suddenly, he's hungry, but he knows it's not for food, but rather the warm blood coursing through the old woman's body.

His vision blurs and his mind is blank, only filled with one simple thought 'I need to bite. Drink. Blood. Now.'

Jungkook notices the change of atmosphere right away, and he quickly reaches to grasp Taehyung's hand, bringing him back to reality. His eyes flashes a vibrant red, before going back to his initial brown.

"Are you okay?"

"What- what just happened?"

"You almost lost control there for a second, but don't worry, I'm here. I'm watching over you."
