CHAPTER THREE: EXTERMINATION

"Jinah, you dumbass," Jisung said upon meeting the girl.

"It wasn't my fault! He breached the security!" Jinah exclaimed. "If anything, it's your fault."

"This is why I hate mixed bloods. Come in," Jisung sighed as he let Jinah in, who was accompanied by Chanmi and Jaemin. "Renjun will join us shortly. He's currently getting the lists from the archives."

The four vampires walked through Jisung's house, Jinah hissing to Chanmi, "I know I've been here a couple of times, but I still gasp at his place every time I walk through it."

"You gasp at his place, but not mine?" Chanmi whispered back.

"Your place is the literal hang out place for everyone. Nothing about it makes me gasp anymore," Jinah shrugged.

They walked to the formal room and took a seat in the chairs surrounding the crystal glass coffee table. Jisung snapped his fingers, and a butler came in with five wine glasses and a glass of blood wine. The butler placed the glasses on the table and poured wine for each vampire before bowing and leaving. Jisung picked up his glass and swirled the liquid around as he asked, "What did you guys decide to do with the Convertir?"

"For now, we're keeping him under our sight, but he doesn't seem to mind," Jaemin stated. "Donghyuck is taking care of him."

"Right, Chenle told me. He's taking care of the guards right now, right?" Jisung took a sip of wine.

"Yes, but you know how difficult this is going to be. A breach in the system is going to make us have to exterminate all the current security guards and create new ones," Chanmi sighed.

"Wait, what? Exterminate? Create? What is going on?" Jinah asked worriedly.

"See, Jinah, this is what happens when you breach the system-," Jisung started.

"I did not breach the system, I wasn't the one that brought the human in. He snuck in all by himself," Jinah said strongly.

"Yes, we've established that. Relax," Jisung leaned back in his chair. "When a human breaches the system, we have to replace every guard in the area to prevent them from spreading rumors and telling the world that vampires do exist. We would brainwash them, but that's impossible."

"So, you're telling me that all these guards are going to die just because of Jeno?" Jinah asked.

"The Convertir has a name?" Jisung looked surprised. "Interesting."

"Jisung, please," Jinah sighed. "I'm sorry for converting him, but wouldn't he have been caught on his way out of the club, right? You would've had to do this anyway."

"Actually, we would've only killed him," Jisung set the wine glass down and leaned back. "You see, because you want to "keep him," the rest of us have to suffer and get rid of all of the guards."

"You can't be serious!" Jinah cried.

"Actually, he's only partially right," Jaemin explained. "We would still have to kill all the guards because someone let him in and we can't take a chance, but we would also have to kill him if you didn't like him so much."

"I don't like him! You can kill him if it makes Mr. Park Jisung feel better," Jinah said.

"Okay, I'll tell Donghyuck-," Chanmi pulled out her phone.

"No! I was kidding! Don't kill him, please," Jinah begged.

Jisung, Chanmi, and Jaemin all looked at each other with the same facial expression before turning back to Jinah. Chanmi was about to speak when Renjun entered the room with stacks of binders.

"Sorry I'm late," Renjun said as he placed the binders on the coffee table. "I already fired my secretary due to the breach."

"I still cannot believe that when you fire someone, you actually kill them," Jinah whispered to herself.

"Jinah, I think you should leave. Go help Donghyuck with Jeno," Jaemin told the girl.

Jinah nodded and bowed before she left. Renjun watched as Jinah left the room then cleared his throat.

"Okay, so this binder is the list of the current guards and security we have," Renjun handed the thickest binder to Jisung. "This binder is of the current standbys we have, and this binder is of potential humans we could convert."

Renjun handed the other two binders to Chanmi and Jaemin, the two of them taking one binder each. There was one more binder on the table, Chanmi pointing it out.

"What is that binder?" she asked.

"The list of suspects we have for the breach. We ran a background check on the Convertir, and it turns out he has a lot of connections. Of course, the binder is pretty small, but he shouldn't have these many connections to vampires. We definitely need to keep an eye on him, but we shouldn't lock him up since he's cunning," Renjun instructed.

"Can I see the suspects list?" Chanmi asked.

Renjun nodded and handed Chanmi the list. She paged through the binder and stopped when she got to a certain profile. She showed the other purebloods and said, "Why is the pureblood hunter on this list?"

"He was listed as a contact in the Convertir's phone. He may be oblivious, but you said he had prior knowledge of vampires, so we had to take precautions," Renjun exhaled. "It's actually a good thing that Jinah got with the human in the first place, otherwise we could've died."

"Thank god she wasn't here. Her ego would have been over the moon if she heard you," Jisung laughed. "Chanmi, don't tell her what Renjun said."

Chanmi nodded and went back to the file. She continued paging through the profiles and noticed a boy with blonde hair. He seemed to be glaring in his picture. She looked through the photographs paper-clipped to his sheets and couldn't help but stare at his face. Although he looked angry in every single picture, she was charmed. In fact, she was so charmed that she forgot to look at his name. She closed the binder and handed it back to Renjun. She then stood up and took another sip of her blood wine before saying, "I'm going to go. I think Donghyuck may want a little help with the Convertir, and I don't trust Jinah enough to stay away from him."

The boys nodded and waved as she left. They closed the binders once she was gone and leaned back in their seats. Jaemin pulled out a carton of cigarettes from his pocket. Jisung eyed the boy as Renjun said, "I cannot believe you're still smoking."

"What are you going to do? Tell Chanmi?" Jaemin scoffed as he lit the cigarette. "You don't have the heart to tell her."

"That's true," Renjun looked at Jisung awkwardly.

"Is it still the cravings after that human?" Jisung asked quietly.

Jaemin exhaled, smoke coming out of his nostrils. He nodded and snapped his fingers. The butler came with an ashtray and set it on the table. Jaemin placed his cigarette on the edge of the ashtray and rubbed his face before leaning forward and opening the suspects binder. He landed on the page of the pureblood hunter and said, "Why can't we get rid of him?"

"He's an untouchable, don't forget that, Jaemin," Jisung glared at the picture. "Also, never forget that he's targeting us because of you."

"Yes, I know, but you all know that Chanmi can never know why," Jaemin picked up his cigarette.

"It'll kill her if she finds out what I did."
