The Red on Our Evergreen
Description
Hakyeon had made a plan for their Christmas Eve. It's not much though, just a delicious-romantic candle light dinner on his apartment. He had their house decorated for it. Traditional Christmas bulbs and the medium sized evergreen tree with excessive amount of clay angels and figures alike, also colorful plastic decorations with various shapes. He satisfied with the result of his work, he does hope that it won't be too much for Taekwoon's eyes though. All that Taekwoon needs to do is preparing the food for the night. And it isn't as smooth as it should be.
Foreword
This one-shot is written in Tokyo Ghoul AU.
For you, dear readers, who's not familiar with Tokyo Ghoul (a Japanese manga and anime), it would be better if you read this foreword to give you some illustration of the universe I'm writing the oneshot in.
About Ghouls
This AU is actually have a normal-modern life setting where there is a creature called 'ghoul' live alongside with humans. Ghouls have a human appearance but they cannot eat human food, instead they eat the human themselves. Human flesh. Normal food tastes lika a garbage to their tongue, but more adapted and stronger ghouls can endure eating it, though it still tastes bad. To fulfill their appetitte which almost as much as humans with their three meals a day, they have to hunt for their own food, and because of that the authority is actually hunting for them.
With this situation, their can't have their everyday portion of juicy flesh. When they have to stay low and stopped hunting for a while, they have no choice but to supress their appetitte with coffee.
Ghouls have some characteristics. Even though they look humane enough. when they release their power their irises became red and their sclera (the white part of your eyes) is changing into black. The same change would also apply when they are desperately hunger, they could go berserk and losing their mind. But after they got their food, they'll be their normal self again. More experienced ghouls could supress their hunger better, maybe some mood swings will occur though.
Ghoul's power is called kagune. Each ghoul has different kind of specific power depends on where the tentacles coming out from different part of their back. They also have different kinds of kagune color. For more detailed explaination please go to this link.
That's all! Hope you enjoy reading the oneshot!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
