@❂ JUNG HUNCHUL Brian let out a heavy sigh as he looked at Iron. He'd have to give his dad a call about the organization later to see his thoughts. It was something he had never heard of prior to that day, but then again.. Brian never really concerned himself with his father's affairs. "I'm not lying.. I'm just nervous. This while thing sounds a little too good to be true, I know you feel it too." He managed to keep a straight face as he spoke to Iron. Brian had become bad at lying, not having to do it in a while. He just hoped the other would drop the subject. He wasn't in the mood to explain everything that happened in the earlier phone call to his dad. Iron would surely be pissed. At Brian, his dad, or just vampires in general. With the progress they made before, Brian didn't want to mess it up so he put on a smile and waited for Iron to direct him to the café.

@✙ BRIAN KANG Iron nodded his head, noting his concerns, "Well they just help vampires in general, they work with a few higher up vampires, I am pretty sure your father knows this organization. Though.. they dont help with the feeding, thats the down part. But I explained this girl your issue, giving her the option of whether to help or not, I told her what is going to happen and the effects," he told the other. He didnt like the fact that he was helping a vampire reduce a lifespan of a human but this is how this world goes. "Surprisingly she agreed so we are going to meet her now, she's alone and assured me it's safe but if you think something is wrong then we can leave your choice. He looked at the other puzzled as his action didnt add up he followed the other grabbing his arm eyebrows quirking, "Hey.. you are lying to me. And you are a bad one at that. Are you sure that's all?"

@❂ JUNG HUNCHUL Brian glanced at Irons hand, then back to his face. A group that helped vampires? That didn't sit right with him. No one wanted to help them, especially with something like feeding. "Are you sure she's legit? She won't try to like, kill me right?" He stood up slowly not wanting to go but curious to meet this person. Iron asking if he was okay made Brian think he looked like a nervous wreck, which he probably did. He took a deep breath to calm himself before turning to the other with a smile. "Oh I-I'm fine..I uh, asked an old friend about it. He says my clan can't feed off of others.." Brian hoped he sounded normal. He decided to change the topic before Iron could question him more. "Where's this café? I'm not sure if I'm familiar with it.." he quickly walked out the doors and waited for Iron to follow, wanting to get some time to calm his nerves.

@✙ BRIAN KANG After he caught his breath he smiled, feeling the sense of accomplishment once again. Shaking his head he brought out his hand, "Come on. We are going to meet her. She's a part of this group where she helps vampires and things, I do my research. She's by the other cafe a few blocks from here, the one near the mall," he advised the other. "So who did you ask, bout feeding the whole vampire thing," he questioned staring at the other. He seemed to be a little nervous, "are you okay?"

@JUNG HUNCHUL Brian looked up as Iron made his entrance. He looked so tired it was kind of funny. Not really processing what he said, Brian shook his head and sighed. "You ran here didn't you? Why in the world would you run all the--" Brian stopped when he realized what iron said. He couldn't be hearing correctly, no one would willingly do something this dangerous. "W-what do you mean? Who would agree to this?" He looked at the other, confusion written on his face. He had to be lying.

@BRIAN KANG Iron checked his phone as he was walking out of the school. He started to run there as his heart raced quickly. He was kind of anxious to tell the other that he found someone, but somewhat excited. He felt as if he completed a hard and difficult task, something that was remotely impossible. He grinned, he likes to feel as if he accomplished something. He probably can do much more if he focused on his studies but he chooses not to. Upon arriving he burst through the door as he bent down heaving. After catching his breath he looked around for the other and walked to him panting still. "I found someone," he told the other.

@JUNG HUNCHUL Brian walked through the doors of the café and took a seat. He decided he'd tell Iron to forget about finding someone. He had a feeling the other had no luck on finding a person willing to shorten their lifespan, or possibly die, for a vampire. This is why he never asked. People were too sensitive. After a while he heard his phone go off and figured it was iron. He wasn't sure how easy it would be to lie to the others face but he knew it needed to be done.

-the one a few blocks from the mall-

@BRIAN KANG He sighed ruffling his hair as his phone buzzed. Looking at it, he was receiving a call from an unknown number. Picking up the phone he answered the call. He was surprised to hear the news, it was a girl, one that he met outside of school, one that he researched. He couldn't believe he was actually hearing this but he quickly grabbed some utensils and started to ask her a few questions. He needed to know some things from Brian as well. He told the lady he will call her back, or text as he felt his phone buzz. It was a text from the other. He hung up and read the text. He grabbed his shoes and started to head out stuffing the piece of paper in his pocket.

-where? Which one?-

@JUNG HUNCHUL Brian checked his phone with an uneasy feeling in his chest. Lying to the other was not something he wanted to do, especially since they were finally getting along. When he thought of telling the truth memories of a phone call he had hours prior rushed through his mind. A call from his dad to be specific. After informing him of the accidental meet up, his dad was curious as to what they talked about. Brian explained everything, making sure to mention how iron wanted him to feed on vampires. That was probably a mistake since his father believed vampires were the superior beings, and that humans were just walking meals. He made a suggestion that Brian keep the feeding information to himself. Brian knew it wasn't a suggestion, it was an order. One he had to follow. But that didn't stop him from feeling bad. He preferred human souls, that was something he wanted Iron to understand. He didn't want to lie and make things worse. Iron already had a distaste for vampires and if he found out about the lie, he'd never get over it. Brian looked at his surroundings in search of a peaceful place. He wanted to do some thinking before he talked with the other. Once he decided he sent a quick reply.

-Meet me at the café..-

@BRIAN KANG He grinned as he chatted with his mother, she was a friendly and kind woman. Very bold and knows what she wants and goes after it. Though he does get frustrated with her at some point. He very well knows that his mother cant possibly know the feelings and what effect it has on Iron with vampires. He knows that and his mother knows that she will never be able to understand him in that aspect, only knows that it was a terrible experience for him. His mother knows everything except for the emotions. That's why Iron still feels bitter, about the fact that she married a vampire, knowing how Iron felt about them. Betrayed seemed like a good word for it. Though for that reason, is why she was surprised to find out about his events with Brian. He told her everything that he could, every little detail he could remember, his mother was like that, very detail-orientated, and he liked the fact that she seemed happy about his progress. Giving his goodbyes, he sighed checking his messages. Seeing the other message him, he felt a bit weird. This was new to him but sighed dissppointed as he read its content. He messaged the other back.

-Ah that's a shame... Where do you want to meet?-

@SEO KANGJOON Brian watched the other go off about how humans were his problem but frankly, he didn't care. His car was now messed up because some couldn't control his anger. The other being a vampire made it worse. That means he was aware of his strength but still decided to act like a child and throw a fit. Brian took notice of the strangers fist balled up and he sighed. He wasn't looking for a fight, especially after he turned his day around. Still glaring at the man, he took a step back to show he wasn't in a fighting mood. "So humans piss you off and you decided to throw a tantrum and wreck MY car!? That's real mature of you, now you just made my day as well. Congratulations, you're amazing." Brian knew he probably shouldn't get sarcastic with the guy but he was pissed as well. The main thought running through his mind was he needed a way to fix it before his dad found out. He looked at the broken bumper, then back to the stranger. "How exactly do you plan on fixing this? I'm not letting go of this just because you have anger issues."

@JUNG HUNCHUL After walking around the mall for a few hours Brian made his way home. He was walking down the street thinking of his earlier meeting. He trusted Iron would try his best to find a person but he knew it was a lost cause. No one wanted to be fed off of willingly, that was a fact. A sigh left his lips once he realized he needed to tell the other about what was really happening. Brian knew he could feed off other vampires, just a certain type. That was just something he didn't feel like sharing. He was sure Iron would want him to only feed off his kind but he couldn't promise that. Human souls were what he was used to, what he preferred. He didn't always like it but it's be a lie if he said he truly hated it. Brian took out his phone and typed a quick sentence to Iron. He scanned over it, debating whether or not to hit send.

-Hey, it's Brian. I researched and it turns out I can't feed on other vampires..Can we meet?-

After a moment he did, and he knew he would regret it but that was something he'd worry about later. Iron would probably understand, if he found out the truth.

@BRIAN KANG Kangjoon was so into kicking the hell of out the car he missed what the man yelled at him, but he heard him the second time around when he was closer and almost in his face. He already pissed off, and when he was pissed he didn't take kindly to being yelled at, or aggressive attitudes. Growling, he stepped closer to the man, hands balled into his fist, shoulders tense, and body posed ready to strike if necessary. "What hell's my problem?! The ing humans are my problem! My day's been and it's all their fault!" On rare occasions, when Kangjoon's pissed off enough and the reason is the human population, he will insult his human half, because more often than not it's humans that piss him off more than vampires do. When the problem is vampire related he'll insult the vampire half just the same. Like when his powers get the best of him and it causes trouble. He'll be kicking himself in the later when he's calmed down enough to be apologetic the man and his car.

@BRIAN KANG He sighed plopping down on his bed groaning. It has been hours since his meeting with the vampire and he has done some research, trying to find some people wiling enough to be fed on by a vampire. Of course most people reactions was not positive, as they looked terrified, who wants to be eaten by a vampire. Though his wording and how he brings up the topic, how he continued the conversation also played a part in it. He sighed heavier, thankfully he was able to get out of the school's property and ask outsiders too. His research helped a bit as there were people willing to help vampires in numerous ways, its just how he approached the situation is all. Hopefully he gets a call back to one of the few who would agree to think about it. He closed his eyes reaching for his phone. He wondered if the other found out if he could feed on vampires, it would take a load off if he could. Opening his phone he sent a text to his mom smiling a bit as he soon got a call from her. He started to chat with her and what has been happening, and his recent event with Brian. Though in his mind, he just hopes he would get a call back from the others.

@JUNG HUNCHUL Brian gave Iron a smile and nod of his head. "Yea, I hope to see you soon," he waved back and watched the other walk away. He quickly got his phone back out and sent a text to his dad letting him know of the meet up, and surprisingly how well it went. After he made his way out of the food court and wandered the mall. He had doubts of Iron being able to find a person willing to get fed off of but he would have to trust his word at the moment.

@BRIAN KANG Clubbing name? People actually has a clubbing name? It was odd for Iron but he didn't think about it too much. He closed the box and places it in his bag. Might as well take it home and force himself to eat it later. "I guess I'll see you soon then?" He waver to the other and turned his heels to walk back to his dorm. This whole day was weird, it was a new experience for him. He wasn't sure if he liked it or not. Taking his phone out he stared at it as he had to call his mom, that and looks for one that's willing to be fed on.

@SEO KANGJOON Brian walked through the parking lot with a smile on his face. It wasn't exactly the best day, but it definitely wasn't the worst. When he first arrived at the mall he was irritated because of a bad grade he got on a test. He needed something to c brighten his mood and that's how he ended up buying a bass guitar. Music was something he did in his free time and he needed a new bass for his writing. He got an amazing deal on it so he expected to go home with a smile. That was until he saw some guy kick his car. Everyone has bad days, he was thinking of just letting it go until the stranger started to kick it repeatedly. "HEY! What the // are you doing!?" Brian rushed up, making sure to keep his new bass safe, as he approached the guy. He set down the instrument case to inspect the damage done to his car. The bumper was off. That's just great, his dad would kill him once he saw this. Brian turned to the guy, face red with anger. "What the hell is your problem!? Do you know how much it'll cost to fix this?" He tried to stay calm, fearing he might end up killing the man if he got too pissed, but he already felt his fangs starting to come out.

@JUNG HUNCHUL Brian put his own phone away, this where he could easily find it, and looked at Iron. Never in a million years did he think he'd have a civil conversation with the other. He had somewhat mixed feelings, being happy about it but also nervous. Would their next meeting be just as peaceful, or would they end up fighting like before? He pushed the thoughts from his mind as he heard iron speak again. He scoffed at the joke and stood up as well. "I'll have you know it's my clubbing name and people love it," Brian gave a soft laugh to let the other know he wasn't really mad. "Oh no. It'll probably end up in my dogs bowl, thanks though."

@BRIAN KANG As soon as he got his phone back he nodded. True, he doesnt like to be called at such an early hour. Though if the other is nocturnal then he wonders why hes up on the day time. He shook his head not really wanting to get in to it. He rose a brow, the other just calling randomly? He doesnt even have anyone who does that, and it felt strange for a vampire to do it. He never thought that he can get along so well with the other, it really puzzled him, and he had no idea that a vampire would ever call him or text. Iron didnt think that he would ever allow that to happen but here he is. He looked at the number and scoffed, huffing out a laugh at the name Brian labeled himself on the phone. He wasnt sure if he felt amused or a bit irritated, his finger on the edit button, but decided against it and kept it that way. He didnt really care. "Young K? Is that your nickname? Couldve thought of a better one," he joked standing up. "I'll get going, do you want to take some of the pizza home?"

@BRIAN KANG (Sorry for the delay.)

This day was not going like he expected it to. First, his alarm didn't go off, even though he swears he set it the night before, which caused him to be late for his job interview. He most definitely didn't get the job. Then some kid spilled a strawberry smoothie on his shirt. His /white/ shirt, mind you. And he got yelled at and beat up by an old lady that thought he was her former lover from hundred years ago or something. All that happened and it's not even two o'clock yet. So far this day . On his way across the parking lot a car almost hit him, because some couldn't watch where he was going. The man had the audacity to yell at him for 'being in the way'. That was the final straw. Kangjoon couldn't take it anymore and promptly kicked the and his anger boiled over. In an unapologetic fit of fury, he kicked the closest thing to him, which happened to be a car. He dented it a little the first time, but as he continued his assault the dent grew larger and larger, until a small part of the back bumper hung off. That's a lot of damage he'll have to pay for when he's in the mood to feel guilty about it.

@JUNG HUNCHUL Brian just laughed at his response. Humor was his way of making things less awkward, and to him this was. But excitement was a stronger feeling as he typed in his number to the others phone. He did label himself as 'new bestie young k <3' just to mess with Iron some more. "Nocturnal? Yes that may be true, but who likes being called that early? No one," he handed iron back his phone while giving a soft laugh. "I'll definitely text you, maybe even call if I'm bored."he felt some of the weirdness go away as he got used to the idea of talking more with the other. It was still there but now it didn't seem that bad.

@BRIAN KANG He srunches his nose narrowing his eyes at the other. "I swear I'll take everything back," iron grumbled feeling weird in his stomach. This was a new feeling for him, something he hasn't felt in a long time. He shook his head taking the phone and taking his own out, placing it on the others hand. He started to type his own number in it labeling his name sliding it back to the other. "I should be telling you that. Aren't you guys like nocturnal?" He wasn't very sure about the whole vampire thing. "just text or call me.." He told him feeling awkward as he did.

@JUNG HUNCHUL Brian couldn't hold back the wide smile he felt come to his lips. This was something he never thought would happen. He leans in deciding to tease Iron a little. "I'm sorry I didn't catch that... You want what?" He laughed as he pulled out his phone and set it on the table, sliding it towards the other. He looked up to Iron and held his hand out, silently asking for his phone with a grin on his face. It felt a little weird to be giving iron his number but he pushed the feeling away. They weren't fighting and at the moment that's all he cared about. "Just don't call me after 3am, I might be a little cranky." Brian chuckled, loving how uncomfortable Iron looked. He found the whole situation funny, especially since before this they couldn't stand talking to each other for a minute.

@BRIAN KANG He nodded his head, asking a friend was probably a good idea and much quicker than researching. There is also thr chance of asking the teacher. But he had his mind full. He needed to find someone, though he's not close with anyone here at all. Not humans or vampires. Though he has met a couple of humans. This was gonna be a bit difficult. After hearing the other Iron bit his tongue, feeling awkward and flustered. The wasn't going to really make him say it right? Never in his mind did he think he would be in this spot. Sighing he scratches his head, "I needs something for you to be able to contact me and vise versa," he started feeling embarrassed. "I'm asking for your number," this was probably the most uncomfortable situation he has been in. Looking away he tried to calm himself down.

@JUNG HUNCHUL "I'm not sure, maybe ask an old friend to let me try?" Brian smiled genuinely happy as he spoke. It was never so easy to talk to Iron before. Maybe it's because he's not exactly being forced. They have definitely matured since the last meeting, that could also be it. "Okay, I'll trust you." And he would. Iron didn't seem like the type to lie, especially about something this important. A curious look comes to Brians face seeing the others change in mood. "Contacted.." was iron really asking what he thought he was? He had to make sure, feeling slightly weird by the question. "What are you asking Iron?" He tilted his head to the side slightly. This was definitely a change.

@BRIAN KANG "How will you find out!" He asked staring at him as the other talked. He never seen the other smile so much, it made him think of his actual personality. To think they could have been like this before if they never fought. Was this what their parents were hoping for? It probably would've been faster if they hadn't meddled in. Though he knew partially it was his fault, he never gave the other a chance. All this made him feel weird, this was not suppose to happen. "I'll find someone, don't worry about it," he smiled softly. It was technically impossible but he wouldn't give up. He knew there was a way, and he has one. Though the next topic made him flustered to ask, since he was not good at this sort of thing. "So... Uh... How do you like to be contacted?" He asked feeling somewhat shy.

@JUNG HUNCHUL Brian nodded, a wide smile on his face. "I will!" Maybe it would be easier feeding off another vampire, he definitely wouldn't have to worry about killing someone when he didn't mean to. He'd figure that out and let iron know, but at the moment he had other things to work on. It was obvious Brian was happy iron agreed to help, a smile kept coming to his face. And it only got bigger when the other said he'd find someone for him. "I'm not sure, maybe a few more hours? Possibly a day," he wasn't sure when he needed to but the earlier he fed he knew there was a lesser chance of accidently killing someone. He just hoped iron would be able to stop him if he went to far. "How exactly are you going to find someone?"

@BRIAN KANG It shouldn't be too hard to figure out if he can feed on vampires. "When you figure it out tell me," he advised the other watching his expression lit up. He wondered how it felt, to be in his position. He didn't seem like the type that likes to kill, and knowing that they can kill someone by not controlling themselves, it must have been terrible. Iron figures he would be happy too if he was a vampire and someone can watch over him to make sure they don't kill anyone. Hearing Brian's other statement he nodded his head, true who want to be eaten by a vampire. But it doesn't mean he'll give up. "I'll find Someone for you. When do you need to be fed by," he was surprised. Never in his life did he think he Would be helping a vampire eat, and normally he would despise the idea, but the vampire can also die from not eating or they might end up killing someone. This was the safest bet.

@JUNG HUNCHUL Brian sat patiently as Iron thought about his request. By the others reaction he had the feeling he wouldn't help out. He waits, hoping iron would give him a chance. He knew a few things about his past but this would be different. Brian wasn't trying to hurt anyone. Hearing the other agree made a smile come to Brians lips. "Okay! I'll see if i can with a vampire," he was happy that the other agreed but that soon dropped. "I-if I ask for consent... then I'll die from starvation.." he knew that wasn't the truth. If he askes and multiple people said no he would get angry and end up on a killing spree, its happened before. He decided to stay safe and just tell Iron he'd starve to death.

@BRIAN KANG After hearing the question he stared at Brian with wide eyes. Was this guy crazy? He was practically asking Iron to watch him eat on a human, something he disapproved immensely. He felt like vomitting. He couldn't do it, he couldn't watch something horrifying again, flashes being brought up from the past. He shuts his eyes trying to regain his posture. But the thought of the other feeding off of someone and accidently killing them was an even greater pain. He didn't want to see anyone die and if he could help lessen that, then it would be a good thing. He just hated seeing it happen. Biting on his lips he thought about it. Sighing he looked back at the other, "You are asking me to watch you eat a human," the thought gave shivers down his spine, "I'll help.. As well as I can. You should figure out if you can feed off of vampires too. And I want you to get their consent!" He quickly added,
