The castle where Taehyung stepped in now looked so luxurious. Even if it was seen from the outside it wasn't very convincing— But when he managed to greet the inside, the guards and servants who bowed when the three of them passed were even dressed too neatly. But Taehyung could see how their faces were a little uncomfortable so close to him.
Are they all vampires?
"Of course." It was Jeongguk's voice in his head.
There were a lot of passages, doors, and Taehyung just followed where the two people beside him were going. Continue like that until they open the door where the tables and chairs are neatly arranged, Taehyung's eyes can catch two figures dressed like Jeongguk and Namjoon. Taehyung's steps stopped.
"My parents." This time Jeongguk said through his lips. Taehyung could feel the vampire grabbing his fingers, intending to bring him closer. But Taehyung, who was still anxious, did not move. Instead, he jerked off his hand.
He doesn't want to talk to anyone right now. Shouldn't they be in his room?Taehyung hasn't even heard Jeongguk's reply but his nethermen have successfully caught a woman there who got up and walked over. The maroon dress made her look even more charming.
"You must be Taehyung." Hyesun said. "I'm Jeon Hyesun, Jeongguk's mother. And the one sitting there is Jeon Sohan, Jeongguk's father." Hyesun's red eyes looked at how Taehyung looked at her and her husband was uncomfortable. He smiled. He grabbed Taehyung's hand calmly, didn't care when the boy gasped. Maybe Taehyung is still feeling anxious.
"Come on, let's talk for a bit before Jeongguk walks you to your room." His smile is still cute perched, Hyesun found that Taehyung is indeed a cute wolf.
Taehyung finally complied. Following the steps of the elegant vampire closer to Sohan's figure. They end up sitting across from each other. If Hyesun with her pretty smile reminded Taehyung of her mother, then Sohan with her stern face made Taehyung think of her father.

"Thank you for accepting our invitation to stay. And thanks for not trying to injure your womb. You ate and made it grow well. I can feel it."
Even with a calm tone— The deep voice still made Taehyung shudder.
Not wanting to look like he had no manners, Taehyung finally nodded.
"Even if this is a mistake— I hope you understand that the Jeongguk lineage means my grandson. I won't let anyone hurt him even if it's his own mother."
Taehyung stared at the two red blinds in front of him. Does that mean that if his family refuses there will be war?
"I won't talk much for now. While here— Make sure you don't leave without permission and don't hesitate to talk if you need anything. For 4 months, try to think of us as family. Don't think too much let alone frown like now."
Taehyung blinked suddenly. He didn't even realize that he had frowned.
"If you get it. You can go. For mealtime, we usually only eat breakfast and dinner. But I know you'll need lunchtime, so in about two hours the waiter will deliver your lunch."
Taehyung nodded. "Thank you." He said. He tried to smile as much as appreciating their efforts to be polite to him. Jeongguk's hand that touched his shoulder made Taehyung get up. After saying excuse me he left. He doesn't even care where Namjoon disappears, just following the steps of the vampire beside him.
It's quiet. Nobody spoke even until Jeongguk opened the big door in front of him.It was a luxurious room.
"This is your room. Mine is on the other side. Just call my name if you need anything."Oh— He didn't think he would get his own room.
"You want to share a room with me?" Jeongguk smiled. And Taehyung glared at him.

"Stop reading my mind! You bastard." Just being alone with Jeongguk made him calm again and even dared to curse. Maybe Taehyung isn't used to any other vampire besides Jeongguk at all.
"Get some rest I will wake you up when your lunch time arrives."
Taehyung didn't answer, but hurriedly took off the robe from his shoulders to put the cloth from before climbing onto his bed.
Maybe if he wakes up later it's just a dream.
"Stop dodging and accept your destiny Taehyung."
Unfortunately that sentence echoed in my head. Taehyung threw another pillow at Jeongguk.
But the vampire just caught it and returned it to its original place without commenting. Her charming face looks so smooth in the light of her slightly dim room.
Judging from the looks of his parents, it's natural that Jeongguk is so handsome.
"Thank you."Taehyung cursed silently. He really wanted to tear Jeongguk's face.

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.

Aeternalis
One born of nothingness. A world born of everything. To return all to nothing. Or surrender to everything. A man born into an infinite world, trying to find his path to the top. Trials and tribulations come from friends and foes alike until all bow before him. ------------------------------------- Author here! This is my 3rd story on RoyalRoad, the other two having long since been dropped years ago. They were a mess of ideas and had no real substanence to them, leading me to begin hating writing them and eventually just stop writing altogether for about a year and a half. Finally, after reading hundreds of thousands of pages of novels, from low fantasy to sci-fi litrpg's to thousands of pages long xianxias, I finally feel ready to write a real story that isn't a cesspool of ideas blended together. I plan to see this out to the end, as I already have the first few major arcs planned out unlike my other stories where I thought of ideas as I wrote. This story takes place in a world with a litrpg system, as per tags. This isn't a VRMMO or Reincarnation story. The main character exists in and is from said world. There are some differences from other litrpg's which will be explained in author notes in the few few chapters. I plan to publich 6-7 chapters a week, each 2-3k words long. If i fail to do so I will create a back-log I have to eventually make up but as of writing this it's the summer for me so I'll have plenty of time to write. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of Aeternalis.
