Chapter 8: Absolute (1/1)

As the others were left back in Seoul, Leeteuk on the other hand was in Busan for a meeting with Absolute. Absolute is a council his late father organized, the members are not just other vampires but also their family, their ally. Since the fall of the Great Yoon-Suk, Absolute never let their guard down for the fear of one of the originals might end up like their late father, specially ‘the one’.He entered their headquarters and was greeted by their butlers and maids. They are not vampires but mortals. The blood line of these mortals is the very blood line that protected and sacrificed for the sake of the originals. Their ancestors have seen how it all started, how the originals became vampires, the fall of the Great Yook-Suk and how the war started. They never regretted protecting the originals, but they fear that the enemy may hurt them now that the originals vacated the area and went to Seoul for the search for the doppelganger.“Leeteuk Chinwang, the council has been waiting for you. They’re at the great hall.” Butler Seo, the head butler who is almost in his 70s informed him.“Thank you, butler Seo. I’ll be going there now. Please tell young butler Kim to bring my belongings to my room.”He left the large living room and went at the great hall where the other vampires are waiting for him. Absolute consists of seven elderly vampires, which were the younger siblings of his father, the branch family. Aside from this organization, there’s an extension organization called Black Absolute, these are vampires that gives great contribution to the clan.Leeteuk stepped inside the hall and all of the members of the council bow down to him. He reached the chair that once was his fathers and sat down. Beside him are 4 chairs in each side which was the seats for the family of the originals. The other vampires stood up and went to their respective seats.“What is very important that I need to travel back here in Busan?” He asked in a stern tone.“Taewang, one of our great historians had found an important detail about the search of the girl.” One of the members of Black Absolute informed him.“Only my father deserves the title as Taewang, not me.”“Neh, Leeteuk Chinwang. As I was saying, there’s a lead that one of our historians had found. It will be really helpful – ““Of course you said it already and I won’t take any information that will not lead me to the doppelganger.” Leeteuk cut the Black Absolute in his midsentence. He may seem ruthless but he never was, maybe only in the eyes of his family he was never ruthless. But taking the place of his father, he masked himself from the happy Leeteuk to the fierce leader he is now.“Great historian Euneon, please do the honor.”“Neh Chinwang. It was said the Sin Ang’s council, ‘origo’ had 4 founding families, in which is not true. There were 5 of them, namely Nam, Seong, Goon, Lim and Yoon. The Yoon family fled before the said Battle of Hopes.”“How are you sure that the doppelganger is in the blood line of the Yoon family?” He asked again.“The greatest witch of that era, casted a spell on the successor of the Yoon family before they left the area.”“And why is that?”“Because it was the Yoon family who put the Seong’s family name in shame and as revenge the Yoon family will be the sacrifice of the war of the Vampires and the Lycans.”“Very well, track all the families with the blood line of Yoon and I don’t care how many are they. I needed all of their information, where they live, who are their ancestors and so on. Send it to the mansion back in Sin Ang and ask Daegun to sort it out. This meeting has come to an end.”Their mansion in Busan, better known as the Absolute’s headquarters was their home since back in the day. They’ve lived there for hundreds of years, yet all the memories are still there vividly. He went to his father’s library and went to the old oak table, his father’s favorite spot of the library where he reads and do his researches.FLASHBACK“Appa what are you doing?” asked by the 7 year old Leeteuk.“Teuk-ah, appa is working on a research. Now seat here and help appa with what he’s doing.”“What is it about?”“On how to be immortal.”“Eh, appa. There’s no such thing as being immortal. Humans grow old and die.”“Not in our family. I love you, and you brothers and your mother too much and I won’t let you go and die just like that and also for your siblings to be.”“Appa, you’re silly but I’ll still help you with what you’re doing.”. . . . .“Appa, how’s your research doing?” the 23 year old Leeteuk asked his father.“Nearly done. Where are your brothers?”“Heechul was out, horseback riding I guess. The not-so-look-alike triplets are playing at the field, as usual. Ryeowook and Henry are with mother, cooking lunch. Are you sure that immortality thingy is true?”“Of course it is.”“Okay if you say so.”. . . . .“The ritual is now finished, Camazotz granted our wish. From now on, we’ll be known as vampires. The strongest immortals there are.” His father’s words echoed at the great hall presenting their branch family the originals, namely their father Yoon-Suk, their mother RinAh and his brothers Heechul, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Ryeowook and Henry.END OF FLASHBACK“How I wish you’re still here abeoji.” He chuckled hearing what he said, “this is the first time I called you that. Even we’re having meeting I never called you that, it’s always appa. Me and my brothers, we never called you that. I bet you’re laughing at me now, remembering our father and son memories. I can still remember how eomma scold us, to call you abeoji in front of Absolute. Those were the times, and how I wish the both of you are still here with us.”His visions are starting to blur, then he realized he was crying. He was never the type of person to cry in front of other people, even to his brothers. The only person who saw him cry was her.. . . . . . . . . .*Taewang – Great King*Daegun – Grand Prince of the Blood [born of royal consort]*Wangja-gun – Prince of the Blood [born of concubines]*Chinwang – Prince of the Blood [Imperial King/Prince of the Blood . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .knock knock. may nagbabasa pa ba neto? hehe!
