seoul university: one of the biggest schools in korea. despite
their size, SU has one of the highest overall scores on the planet.
every year it spits out the best of the best.. or maybe not. but
even the most famous of citizens can still fondly look back to their
days in this college and be modest. it prides itself on its diversity,
a thing found in few korea-based colleges. but how far does this
difference twist? in a school woven from the bricks with whispers
and rumors, how do the lives of two supernatural intertwine?

It was a too bright and beautiful sunny day that morning as the blonde male raveled his way around other students who were eagerly in a rush to get to their dorms. He was encompassed with a variety of human smells. Luckily for them, he'd eaten before his flight from his hometown, Busan. A smirk drew across his pink lips as he heard girls squealing about him underneath their breaths. Little did they know, one of them could potentially become his next entree. That morning he decided to wear a plain cotton shirt and some ripped up jeans accompanied by a pair of burgundy converse. Just something simple and comfortable. He also wore black shades that were encrypted with extra coverage from the sun. His eyes were 10x's more sensitive than humans on days like this. He made it to the eastern dorms - left side males and the right females. The eastern dorms consisted mainly of the "higher-ups" at Seoul University. Meaning if you have a GPA of 3.6 and above or if you're the son/daughter of a highly esteemed chairman.

Stepping inside room 236, Marcus glanced around at his surroundings. There were two twin beds - one on the left of the room and the other on the right. He noticed that the left side had already been made up - including the bed. Ah, what a pleasant sight. Marcus ended up hiring a group of people to move in and set up his belongings before he returned to campus. As a vampire, he was too proud to do anything a human would do. He looked at the time - 11:45 am. Guess there wasn't much else he could do now but take a nap. He slipped off his shoes before walking over to shut out the outside light with a set of pitch black curtains. He took off and placed his glasses by the nightstand beside his bed. Crawling underneath the covers, he soon dozed off.

students brushed past jay as they hurried along, calling out as some friends caught sight of each other. jay tried to blink away the sudden spinning headache that normally came with a new crowd. he'd have to get used to everything all over again. now in his second year, he could definitely pick out the first years from everyone else. had jay been so obviously lost? he'd like to think he wasn't with his sense of smell and all, but honestly.. he probably looked worse.

yawning, jay stuck his hand in his black hoodie, feeling around for the crumpled piece of paper. he had already been to his dorm for the year, but nobody was there yet... for the best, perhaps? he fingered the edges of the paper and stared at the black, messy numbers scrawled across it. the writing reminded him of a kid. he picked at the highest rip in his blue skinny jeans before deciding it was probably better to call his mother back at his dorm. since jay had just been aimlessly walking, he turned around right then and began the journey back. hopefully, if his roommate had arrived, they wouldn't mind him talking on the phone. they'd have to get used to it anyway.

something told jay someone had appeared, though, because an unfamiliar scent flooded his nostrils. he cautiously unlocked the door and twisted the handle, shutting it behind himself with a quiet tpp. it was dark, curtains blocking the window. jay felt a shiver run up his spine, a warning, but brushed it off. the right bed he had previously left for his roommate was made and said roommate was currently asleep on it. jay sucked in his bottom lip and frowned, pulling up the cover for his own bed before climbing under. he'd just wait until the other woke up. yeah, he should do that.. waking up someone by being too loud on the phone was not a good first impression. he made sure to mute his phone after pulling up an e-book to pass the time.

He heard the approaching footsteps from outside even before the other male entered the room. The pit-patter of his roommate's heartbeat ignited a spark of hunger within Marcus. So much so that his fangs protracted themselves from their hiding place from his gums. This wasn't good. It was rare for Marcus to feel such an intense pull towards a human, especially since he doesn't even know what the other looks like yet. He subconsciously reached down to grab a fistful of cotton material - inwardly fighting the desire that swept over him. Calm down. It's not like Marcus had a functioning heart or lungs. He was a vampire after all; dead, hollow and feelingless. The only thing holding him down was his need to hunt and feed off of his victims. So he just laid there. Still, like a frozen corpse and waiting for the right time to withdraw the covers.

An hour passed. The burning sensation that Marcus felt earlier had eventually ebbed away. He no longer wanted to stick his fangs into his roommate; well for now at least. The room was also quiet which was unexpected. He moved. Quicker than the human eye can see and silent like a stealthy cat he stood directly beside the other male's bed, his hips pressing up against the mattress as he curiously examined the other. Marcus didn't care much for personal space and why would he? He leaned forward, mesmerized by the other male's sharp features - he was anything but ugly. Marcus opened his mouth to introduce himself until he caught the stench of wet dog and his sea blue eyes turned into narrowed slits. Maybe the guy owned a dog. The vampire shrugged it off when yet another wave of the vile scent invaded his nostrils. Hissing he wrenched himself away into the farthest corner of the room, his eyes glowing and his fangs snarling. "What is a mutt doing in my room?" He seethed, disgusted at the sight of the other and more so with himself for actually craving wolf's blood.

it had been quiet for so long that jay truly did feeling his eyes drooping shut. but a feeling made his hair stand on end and it hard for him to really relax. it felt like he had been laying their for centuries, though it couldn't of been more than an hour. two, maybe, but that is stretching it. there was a scent clogging up the room, sort of like a freshly hunted animal. but there was something else under it, something dangerous. perhaps he was imagining things. his roommate had been quiet for a while, so jay wondered if he should call his mother outside instead.

he locked his phone and was in the process of heaving himself in a sitting position when he felt a presence way too close. "what the-" he yelped, falling back down in a tangle of commotion. he rushed to untrap his legs from the blanket, eyes wide and terrified as he realized the figure was his roommate. "god, y-you scared me." when had he gotten there..? he let his mouth drop open a little, taking in the scent. his gut told him to flee. apparently his eyes were a step ahead of his gut, because he was already looking for a route to the door when the man zipped away again.

jay pressed his hand into the soft mattress and steadied himself in case he had to bolt. his fight or flight response had obviously made its decision there. he took in his roommate, now on the other side of the room, and tried to figure out his intentions. "um, wha-" but the man was already muttering to himself, and jay's blood ran cold at the term mutt. his breath quickened until it felt like his heart was going to jump out of his chest and his head felt dizzy. his shaking gaze caught on the glowing eyes first, then traveled down to the sharp fangs like the eyes hadn't been enough proof. he felt some of his flight turn into fight. a soft growl bubbled up his throat. would he even have to defend himself? his skin prickled at the thought. why was he so scared? it was just a.. a vampire.

Hearing a distinctive growl coming from the werewolf, Marcus let out another slew of defensive hisses - spittle flying out in between his incisors. His adrenaline was at its peak. If the dog made even a single move, Marcus planned to lunge. It was extremely risky given the environment they were placed in. The two of them were strong enough to bust through concrete walls and fling furniture across the room. They were capable of destroying just about anything in their path. Seething, Marcus lowered himself into a crouching position -his eyes shooting daggers into his rivals with only 5 ft. of space separating them. Vampires and werewolves had been on bad terms since the dawn of time. It was ironic seeing as they were both creatures of the night. The last time Marcus encountered one was in 1864; he was on a hunt one night but was interrupted by a giant white-haired beast. It seemed that the vampire had intruded on the wolf's territory. Marcus and the wolf had a bit of scuffle before the boy reluctantly gave up on the kill.

His frosty gaze slithered over the other's body - locating the best area to strike if need be. Based on the rate of the werewolf's heartbeat, Marcus has the upper-hand because he wasn't afraid. A small smirk appeared at the corners of his mouth as he spoke up in a cool tone of voice,"Say, I was sure your kind had gone instinct by now. I guess natural selection is taking its time." Feeling less on the defensive side and more on the confident, he straightened himself back out into a standing position with his arms coming to fold across his chest. Here he thought he'd be facing a challenge of some sort, but seeing through into the mutt's pounding chest, he suspected there to be more bark than bite during their encounter.

"Let's not make a scene, okay? Just simply pack your things up and move along. You know it'd bring a great deal of humiliation if we were to be caught associating with each other by our own kind." Said the vampire, tilting his head to one side. "Tsk, tsk. How troublesome, but don't worry I'll keep this between you and me. Better yet, I hope we never see each other again after today." He appeared across from the other, perching on the side of his bed with his legs crossed together and with a smile only fitting for a snake he asks,"What do you say, Sparky?"

jay knew his heart was racing. he had only come face to face with a vampire in one place: his nightmares. so yeah, he could fear the unknown. but he could literally hear his father growling at him from the grave. attack him! jay sucked in his bottom lip, squeezing it harshly between his teeth. it must have started bleeding, but jay was too focused on the vampire across the room to care. he needed to get himself a way out of this one, and fast. the vampire seemed much more confident. could he hear his fear in the way his heartbeat was slamming against his chest? jay didn't know much about vampires, so maybe.

jay's eyes flickered quickly over the vampire a few more times, mouth opened again as he let the scent of the other being in. he felt his nails sharpen, realizing with a jolt that he could feel his wolf's black fur covering his ears. stop, don't shift! that would make it feel like the vampire won. so terrified he had to shift in a.. semi-public place? his mom would probably be more angry about that than him not noticing the dude was a vampire in the first place. he didn't know what he was going to say, but he knew it had to come quick. he turned his attention back to the vampire on the other side of the room.

but the vampire wasn't across the room anymore. jay yowled in panic, a flurry of motion as he hopped back on the bed in a crouching position, throat humming with another warning growl. he should run. no.. don't be a coward. his mouth was dry, and he slowly lifted his hoodie sleeve to wipe the blood from his lip and chin. he took a moment to collect his thoughts before looking up into the other man's eyes, menacing as he stared down. sparky? that was a new one. "i was here first!" he managed to say finally, feeling more like a kid who couldn't have something they wanted. "you should be the one to pack up and go!" jay had to work hard all of his first year and get some of the best grades possible so he could have a dorm up in the east. it was grueling work; the boy never cared for his grades, so he stayed in low b-averages most of his life. "you... i won't leave!"
