Chapter 5

The Hunter's Story

Woojin and Hongseob were awakened by a call around 3 A.M. on Hongseob's laptop, with Hongseob grumbling and getting up to go sit down at the desk and answering it. "What's up?" He asked, wiping sleep from his eyes.

"Oh, sorry, forgot about time zones," came Sungjin's voice. "Ah, damn it," said Hongseob. "Woojin, it's Sungjin get over here," he said, yawning. "Still learning eh?" Asked Sungjin as Woojin got up and went over, switching places with Hongseob who went back to sleep.

Woojin plugged in headphones before putting them on. "What's up Sungjin?" He asked in English. "Ah, we got a visit from Myungsoo," said Sungjin. "Sorry to bother you this late but," he said. "No problem," said Woojin as he yawned. "Are you in for this?" He asked. "Yes," said Sungjin. Woojin nodded and jotted a note on a word document on Hongseob's laptop.

"Do you know if any of the other teams in Europe are doing alright? My brother and his pack got ran out of the U.K.," he said. "Ah, really? Damn," said Sungjin. "Chan and them are holding out pretty well, not sure about Berlin or Poland but," he said. "If something was going on in Berlin we would've gotten a notification of it by now," said Woojin. "True," said Sungjin.

"I'll let you sleep then, sorry to bother you this late," he said. "No problem, thanks for getting to us," said Woojin before he hung up. He sighed and took off his headphones putting them on the laptop keyboard before getting up and going back to bed, laying down beside Hongseob and bringing him into his arms before going back to sleep.

They were woken up by another call coming from Woojin's phone later, causing Woojin to grunt and move away from Hongseob. He went to check who it was before getting up and going to answer it on Hongseob's laptop, putting in his headphones.

"What's up?" He asked. "Ah, time zones sorry!" Came Chan's voice. "No problem," said Woojin. "At least you didn't call at 3 A.M. like Sungjin did earlier," he said as he checked the time. "It's at least a reasonable hour," he said with a chuckle. "What's up?" He asked. "We can't make it for this Italy run," said Chan. "We have a non hunter in our pack now so we're being cautious, what's going to stop them from targeting him while we're gone?" He asked. "Reasonable," said Woojin as he jotted it down.

"How's things over there? My brother got ran out of the U.K.," he said. "Not so good, we're holding out the best we can though with killing every vampire in sight," said Chan. "You guys are in Paris right?" Asked Woojin. "Yes, we're keeping things as local as possible here before we have to call in another team," said Chan. "Good luck then, we'll try and get help your way," said Woojin. "Thanks," said Chan before he hung up.

"Damn people need to warn us before calling us," groaned Hongseob as he rolled over and off the bed. "I'm sure they did," said Woojin as he chuckled some, taking off his headphones and turning to Hongseob. "Or keep time zones in mind," he said. Hongseob grunted in reply before sitting up and leaning against the bed frame. "Who was it this time?" He asked. "Chan, said they couldn't make it because they have a non hunter in their pack," said Woojin. "And Sungjin?" Asked Hongseob. "They said yes," said Woojin. "I'm sure they've been itching for an Italy run for a while now," said Hongseob as he got up and headed downstairs to get breakfast. Woojin nodded and got up, following after him.

"Ya'll are up early," said Jeonguk as he worked on breakfast. "We got called at two separate times," said Woojin as he scratched the back of his head. "Europe's been having a bit more trouble than we thought," said Hongseob. "We'll see when Berlin and Poland can get back to us," he said.

"Ya'll are getting more and more stressed as the days go by," said Changsun as he came into the kitchen. "We've never made a decision like this before," said Woojin. "We need to be really prepared for what happens when it happens," he said.

After breakfast Woojin and Hongseob went to explore the street market, wanting to spend some time with just them and get away from everything for a little while. "I know this few hours we have to ourselves is temporary but," said Woojin as he sighed some. "I do miss this," he said. "Yeah, same," said Hongseob as they walked around.

"I never asked but," said Woojin as he turned to Hongseob. "Do you mind if we go visit my parents after all this is over?" He asked. "I know I said I'd go anyway to Donghun but I'd like to introduce you to them," he said. "Sure," said Hongseob. "Family is important," he said. "I do not mind if we go see them, I have to see if any of my family is still around anyway," he said. "You said you were from Mexico?" Asked Woojin. Hongseob nodded. "I'll talk to Chanwoo about it and see if he can find them," he said. Woojin nodded and faced forward, continuing their stroll through the street market.

"What do the others need?" Hongseob asked suddenly as he stopped in front of a food stall. "I'll ask," said Woojin as he did so. "Ah, it's Jinhong's turn to cook dinner," he said after getting a reply. "He asked for beef and a long list of vegetables," he said. "Everyone is out of the house so no one is home to make lunch," he said. "Got it," said Hongseob as he looked at the list of ingredients before going to get them with Woojin.

"Ah, Jeonguk," said Woojin as they returned home to find him in the livingroom. "Hm?" Asked Jeonguk. "What was that all about, giving my brother lunch?" Asked Woojin. "We are neighbors," said Jeonguk as Hongseob went to put the bags of food in the kitchen. "And he's family to you, I didn't want to look rude and not offer them lunch," he said. "I guess so," said Woojin as he nodded. "Thanks for that," he said. "No problem," said Jeonguk.
