Jay Kyung Park's Story

Jay sighed as he collapsed into a barstool and ordered a coke. He had been dealing with a client he most certainly wished to shove a crucifix up their...."Ah, but he'll get what's coming." He massaged his temples a bit and noticed the bartender had delievered his drink, which he took a a quick sip from. Tonight he was Noir, one of the most renowned vampire club hosts in the country. It was very tiring to have so many females attempt to cuddle, and much more x-rated things, while he delt with the snobby client.

He gazed around the party going on, a human female dancing, another in the corner staring, and a few more stragglers who looked quite stoned. "They should know better...I never understand humans." Despite being born a hybrid, Jay had a slight soft-spot for humans. He cared greatly for their well-being and rather hated the fact vampires needed to feed off them.

A flash of white hair caught his eye. Lanine, the pureblood queen. Of course she'd be here. Jay cringed a bit at the sght of her freshie enjoying being feed from. The attraction was rather cruel and sinful in his eyes, but nothing he could do. He studied a few other vamps. Two were further down the bar from him, one was a pureblood again, and from there nothing new.

"I guess tonight was just another buisness trip. Maybe I should just stick to my club." He grumbled a bit, studying his clothing that he picked at random. Khaki skinny jeans, a black blazer, and a red, low-cut scoop neck that said "Bite Me" in old english text. Tonight he really wasn't in the mood to dress up today, not his party after all. He ran a finger over the exposed tattoo of a dragon curled around a black cherry that danced across his neckline, smiling at the fond memory of how he yelled out when he first got it 5 years ago. "Bartender, a shot of bourbon please." Even if he could just leave, Jay didn't want to in the middle of reminiscing...

As tempted as Genesis was to do just that, he wasn't exactly sure how far he could get. As many nights as he had spent in the party scene, watching and dancing with Zane, the younger man had never left or shown interest in men before. Then again Zane had almost no boundaries of what he should and shouldn't do and who knew what could happen if he managed to get himself intoxicated with Genesis right by his side.

Genesis shivered at the thoughts running through his mind. He could dream, right? His eyes softened as he looked at Zane, letting a small smile grace his lips as he watched. One hand raised and moved to the back of the younger man's head, Genesis' slender fingers running through the black hair in a petting motion. "Any time you're interested love." He let his hand drop and sighed before bringing his trademark smirk back to his features. "Besides, I'm not sure if you'd be able to satisfy if you were drunk and sloppy." Genesis teased lightly, taking another sip from his own drink.

Glass still to his lips, Genesis looked over the rim of his cup, his eyes catching interest. His eyes narrowed just the slightest as he watched the man across the bar. There was something off about him and it took Genesis a few moments to understand why. Even this far away the older vampire could smell just the slightest difference between the Asian man and all the other beings in the bar. Hybrid He thought, taking one last large gulp to finish off his drink.

Genesis had seen him before, at a night club if he recalled correctly. Taking another moment to think, Genesis recalled that the hybrid had referred to himself as Noir. The club hadn't been anything special in the older vampire's opinion, too 'upper class' for his tastes. Now he was always appreciative of good looking things and the young hybrid was cute, but he wasn't exactly Genesis' type.

Jay felt a small shiver go up his spine as if someone were watching him. He turned and met the gaze of one of the two other men acroos from him. He was staring a little too intently for his liking, but in good manners Jay waved with kind smile and looked down. He bit his lip with a fang in frustration. At a party, in a bar that should never been done because that just gave the universal message that you were interested. "I hope he doesn't take it the wrong way." He mumbled under his breath, looking briefly at times to make sure the man wasn't still watching, Jay wasn't the type to sleep around and he most certainly wasn't bi or gay. But, because th man was watching he appraised the guy as well. He gave him a score of 8.5 out of 10 in his head as he usually did when judging peple.

Trying to mellow his thoughts out, he ordered another shot of bourbon, trying to discern if that guy had been to his club once. The guy's lustful eyes flashed a quick memory into his head. Yeup, that guy had gone to his club before. If he had gone he might be in the member system, unless he was a guest. Jay tried to scrape up any oher details from that time seeing him, but nothing came up. At that moment a blonde human plopped into the seat next to him, coquetishly hugging his arm. He could clearly see she was drunk. She seemed to be mumbling something about going somewhere private, but Jay knew she wasn't a donor or freshie by th way she was acting. "Miss, you need to leave..." He shook her a bit, but she seemed to have past out. "Humans are really never going to be understood.."

Ten minute later, he returned to his seat. His kind heart stressed him out quite a bit. He had to carry the girl out of the place, hail a cab for her, and make sure she was awake before it left, which is very hard when she keeps telling you to come over and sleep while inhaling the scent around her throat as she pulled you close. Jay downed the bourbon right there, hopefully relaxing him. "Hopefully that guy isn't still watching." he glanced across at the same guy from earlier.

Zane found himself smiling again. He didn't actively try to read people's minds...generally he understood the need for privacy...but sometimes Genesis' thoughts were too...captivating to ignore. Especially when he was so close. It was true...Zane had absolutely no boundaries what so ever. It was like he lacked that ability in social skills.

What he did try to ignore, however, were the visuals. But he couldn't just put up a wall to stop them from coming, so instead he focused his attention elsewhere...until he felt Genesis' touch again. Zane's weak spot had always been his hair, he loved it when people played with it. When he was sixteen he'd even grown it out to his shoulders for that fact. He looked over at the older male slightly, noticing the softer look in his eyes. That was a more rare sight with his friend...

He chuckled at the interested comment and looked away again, but then cracked up laughing at the next line. "Whatever, even intoxicated I'm sure I'm mind blowing." The joke didn't last long though, he noticed something had caught the other males interests.

Hybrid's could be picked out in a crowed area easily. They had an extraordinarily interesting scent to them. Most vampires couldn't say exactly what it was though if they'd never met one before, but Zane noticed it, and he knew Genesis did too. Zane had to agree with what Genesis was thinking though, the kid was cute...

He quickly snorted out a laugh as he caught the edge of the hybrid's thoughts and covered his mouth with his hand to fake a cough. "Oh Gen...you just got rated an 8.5...He's straight though, don't take it personally."

One delicate eyebrow raised in question at Zane's words. He turned his head to look back fully towards his friend and was actually confused for a moment about what he was talking about. Once more he looked towards Noir and then back at Zane, finally understanding what the younger was talking about. Sometimes he forgot about Zane's abilities. Thoughts were meant to remain private otherwise they would be spoke, at least that's what Genesis believed.

Punching Zane lightly in the arm, Genesis scrunched up his nose in dislike. "I didn't think it was possibly, but I guess the dozens of bodies between us have somehow diminished my sex appeal." He bit his bottom lip as he finished, one fang pressing against the tender flesh there. "More importantly though, you give me a 10 and you're straight." With his eyes now back in the direction of Noir's location, Genesis slyly he looked at the young pure blood at his side from the corner of his eye. "Unless of course there's something you'd like to let me know, I'd be completely for educating you in the sinful pleasures of male on male love." He said, his voice husky and teasing by the end.

"I always like to think that a straight guy just hasn't met the right man to tickle his fancy." He watched as Noir left with a drunk blonde woman before returning soon after. Hybrids had always fascinated him, never truly belonging wholly to vampire or human society. Such a sad existence in his opinion, then again he had lived through a time when Changelings were thought of as nothing more than second-class citizens in the Underworld ruled by bloodlines. Those times had been tough, but as the pureblood lines decreased in numbers and Changelings began to take some of the open spots, views began to change.

A slight pain began in his right temple. Subtly he placed his elbow onto the counter and rested head on his hand to slightly massage the area. It had been a while since he had last fed, but the club wasn't a place he'd eat at. Genesis would be fine for a while, enjoy his time with Zane while he could before returning to his home, downing a blood bag of O+, and sleeping the day away.

The arrival of a rather arrogant male distracted Jay from his thoughts of worry. He seemed to be the typical rich child, and wanted a drink called Appleton Estate rum. "If you wanted that drink you could have gone to another higher class bar?" He murmered softly, he didn't want to offend the guy nor did he want the bartender to suffer any criticism.

He turned his attention back to the vampires from earlier when one of them laughed. Though the one who seemed to be observing him intently, was in a bit of discomfort from something. Most likely from the effects of blood withdrawal, as he experienced them regularly. Though he barely knew the person, Jay didn't like to watch someone suffer. He reached into the inner pocket of his blazer and produced a vial. Emergen-C Blood was what was on the lable. One of the new things on the market and it was human blood taken by vampire doctors for those moments a vamp didn't want to drink from a human. Usually they came in bags, but Jay preferred travel size.

He asked the bartender for a coke, which was handed readily, and he took it walking off to the blood-deprived vamp. On his way he passed a female clad in a white dress giving her one of his warm smiles, she smelled like a hybrid of course. As soon as he reached the duo who had been checking him out, he set the coke down by the flirty one. "As an offering to stop observing me please accept this." Jay slipped the vial into the guy's hand subtly and turned to walk off. "Hope to see you at the Black Cherry soon as well." He turned his head and gave them his unique warm smile with sparkling eyes.

"See doesn't it feel so much better now that you finally admitted it?" He replied back to Zane's comments of sarcasm. Following the younger man's eyes he also noticed the increase of club patrons. It was getting crowded, which meant Genesis would definitely be leaving soon. He hated places filled to capacity, too many bodies too close for his liking. Genesis preferred his touching on a one-on-one level.

Genesis smiled at Zane's offer, but shook his head to decline the offer. "No thanks love, I'll be alright for now. Maybe another time." There were two things the older vampire did not do: feed in public and drink from a human directly. Very few knew this about him, not even Zane, and Genesis made a conscious effort to never think about the subject when he was around the younger man. In a way it could be considered disgraceful among his kind, but feeding directly from people was something Genesis had been unable to do for a long time. No one had been more grateful for the invention of blood banks than Genesis.

His attention was brought to his side where a drink of coke was set down and a vial was placed into his hand. "Sorry cutey, but I stare at who I please. You should feel honored, I only do that to the really good looking people." Genesis easily slipped back into his flirty persona, ignoring the slight throbbing inside his skull. "Oh right, that's where I've seen you before. Maybe I'll stop by again if you can get me into your VIP room Noir." He teased suggestively at the mention of the club. It had been bothering him all night because he couldn't remember which club he had seen the hybrid in.

Surprisingly enough, the hybrid woman in the white dress whom Genesis has smelled but held no interest before in actually seeing had decided to join their little trio. "You're surprised? Two hybrids in one night is a rather rare occasion, don't you think Zane?"

Zane chuckled softly and shook his head at that comment. Though sometimes he wondered what would happen if he ever seriously accepted one of Genesis' advancements. Would his friend back down, or would Zane actually learn something about himself?

He made a face of slight dislike at that thought. No, he liked women...soft, curvy, beautiful...he shook his head slightly and turned his attention back on Genesis then sighed heavily. "Gen, what will I do if my bestest friend doesn't even support me?" He was so into that mini temper tantrum that he didn't even realize the hybrid had approached their table, and he actually nearly jumped out of surprise. Which would have been incredibly embarrassing.

"That's actually true," Zane backed Genesis up about who he liked to stare at, raising his drink as if to emphasize that point. Then he rolled his eyes when Genesis kept up his flirting. Not that he wasn't used to it but...Zane was an attention hog, and he really didn't like Genesis' being stolen.

"Hm?" he asked, snapping out of his thoughts to look at the newest addition to their little group. She was actually rather attractive, but not quite his type...if he had a type...besides female..."Yeah, it is quite rare actually..."

But his attention was quickly torn away again. Honestly he was beginning to wonder if he should be tested for ADD, except that time was more valid...very few people actually got his attention through their thoughts.

He looked around only for a moment before he found her, and smiled slightly before returning the message: Hello, Rose. He actually knew her fairly well for her to be human, because he liked the way she tasted. Rare blood types always caught his attention.

At the flirty one's comments, all Jay could do was awkwardly scratch the back of his head and smiled genuinely. "Thank you, very much. That's the first time in years for me to be complimented like that." If Jay could still blush, his cheeks would be a pale red right now. "If that's what it takes to satisfy a customer." He checked his watch briefly and sighed. It was late and he needed to sleep in order to be ready for tomorrow night's attraction at the Black Cherry. "I hope you decide to grace my club with you presence soon, though." Jay gave another smile and falling into his "business-self".

"You two are welcome as well. I don't wish to exclude anyone. To be honest, outings like this are really opportunities for me to gain customers." He wasn't one to lie since he was somewhat of a goody-two shoes and he valued honest quite a lot. Telling people this way was the most effective as we for gain more customers as they felt more assured knowing the host was honest.

"...I'll be going though, I need the energy for tomorrow night. It was nice meeting you all and hopefully I'll get to see you the next evening. Ciao." He said all in a professionally calm voice and waved good-bye with warm eyes as he turned, walking through the now crowded place. Same as before, he hailed a taxi and he was on his way home.

Home happened to be a nice apartment, penthouse, that gave a view of the city skyline. He didn't hate his position, but he didn't like it either. He felt out of reach to people, but it was available and the closest to the club so he took it. Jay quickly changed out of his outfit from today into a t-shirt and sweats as he thought of tonight. If this is what happens if I step out of my boundaries, a lot will change. Jay slinked off to his bed (coffin-bed) shortly after this thought.

"Oh, it takes quite a lot to satisfy me." Genesis said suggestively to the young hybrid before him. In all serious though, the vampire hoped that this attraction that Noir spoke of would off some sort of spice to his club. He studied the male hybrid quietly as he extended the invitation to the others that had accumulated around them. "Remember to have the name Genesis placed on the list cutey." He called as Noir made his exit from the club. The vampire was actually looking forward to the next night, teasing a hybrid would be a new type of danger in his mind.

Genesis turned his attention to the young many, an attractive human already at her side and asking her to dance. He watched quietly as she flirty with the human before introducing herself and making her own leave. Genesis made a not to, at some point tomorrow, recall who exactly Ramien was. The name was unique and held a bit of a familiar ring to it. Not a big problem at the moment though considering his daughter was departing from them.

He moved back to face the bar, flirting with the bartender to get a free martini. It wasn't exactly hard with the amount of charm he possessed, humans and vampires alike were always taken in by his charisma and seductive tone. Genesis removed the olive from the glass, biting it off the toothpick it was on and chewed before swallowing. It gave him no sustenance, no really taste either, but it was nice to go through the familiar motions he had long ago before he lost his mortality.

Finding his partner to be rather quiet, Genesis took the opportunity to find what had captured Zane's attention. He followed the younger man's gaze to a woman, one he had seen before both with and without Zane. He noticed the smiles, the glints in the eyes and frowned. Zane had always been a sucker for tasty blood. Genesis glared rather childishly at both of them before giving a huff and downing his drink in all but one gulp, wishing he could get a buzz going on by drinking it so quickly.
