Pairing : Romeo and Kim Hyung Jun
Rating: M rated, PG-17
Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 My steps down the street are faster than usual as the night is arriving and I know today it’s going to be one of those cold nights. The wind cuts through my face as my teeth clatter together. The street seems gloomy and I can see no life in it. I feel light raindrops on my face. The moon is nowhere to be seen and the sky is very cloudy. Everything is pitch-black.
My hurried footsteps pause next to a darkened alley as I hear a sound from it. I narrow my eyes to clear my vision but it’s very dark and I can see simply nothing. The sound comes again; someone’s coughing. I decide whether to leave or to go and check. But then a loud thump comes and I hear a glass shattering. Someone is in danger.
“Hello, is anybody there?” I shout across the narrow alley.
Whoever it is, coughs again; a male.
“Hello, are you alright?” I take a few steps towards it.
They don’t reply back instead I hear someone struggling, like a shoe being slid when you try to get up. I decide to go and help although it creep me out a bit.
“Can I help you?” I ask as soon as I see a moving figure through the darkness.
He is on the floor trying to get up but keeps falling down just as I thought. I notice a broken portion bottle and from the shape I’m pretty sure it has to be blood liquor. The bottle doesn’t seem finished and the liquor smell takes over the narrow alley. I walk up to the person. He’s covered in a long black cloak with a red shirt under it. His neck, wrist and fingers all carrying silver jewellery and he’s wearing a knee length black boot. The hair is tied back and I see his royal cane lying on the floor next to him. With no doubt this one has to be a vampire.
God I shouldn’t have even come here.
“I can’t… get up” He growls and I shiver.
This isn’t a good place for me to be. I should leave. But before I turn I take another closer look at him obviously without him knowing but then only I recognize who this is.
Azora’s second head master.
My heart starts beating really fast.
I have always kept my distance from vampires especially with this one. After that awkward conversation we had last summer of me confessing which gender I prefer, things got very weird. I mean which boss suddenly comes up and ask you whether you prefer men or women and then literally threaten you to tell the truth? And then he asks who do you like! Does he think it’s easy to confess like that?
This guy is no good. I slowly take a few steps backwards without letting him hear me. Just as I try to turn around he stands up. I pause; my whole body just stills and I don’t even dare to breathe.
“Where do you think you are going?”He asks in a rough voice.
I say nothing back. Right now I really want to run away.
He laughs in an evil manner as in mocking my presence. “The little Hyung Jun. Who would have thought you’d be here” His words drags and he keep rocking back and forth.
“I just wanted to help but as usual you are being your shitty self” I snap at him and regret it right after.
“I’m drunk, you see?” He exaggerates his laugh.
“You don’t have to get drunk to be impolite” This, I don’t regret.
“Maybe we can fix it”
“Fix what?”
“Fix the fact that you see me as an impolite, filthy vampire”
“You are an impolite, filthy vampire after all. It won’t be fixed and I’m leaving. Get home safely” I say and turn around.
It doesn’t take a millisecond for him to grab me from my arms and pull me backwards. I startle with the speed. I feel his nails almost carving into my skin at my inner-elbows. I feel his harsh breath on my ear. My mind doesn’t intend to move a single thing of my body. I stay perfectly still because at any point his fangs might be digging into my neck. His body keep hitting my back as he got no balance over himself.
“Don’t you dare walk away from me” His husky voice lands on my hair.
I start shivering again. The fear and the cold both take over me. The rain is heavier than before and water drips from my hair. My whole body starts trembling and I clench my teeth together to bear it. I just want to run home, I really do.
“What do you want from me?” I ask turning my head slightly to his side.
“You” He whispers and covers me with his cloak from my back.
A strong wind hits me making my eyes close and I feel a sudden movement; not around us but within us. His grab loosens and he let me go. I open my eyes and the sight doesn’t surprise me. I knew he was moving us.
It’s his room, I’ve come here before when head master asked me to go and wake him up for work. This person is clumsy, annoying and stubborn. I don’t know why I’m stucked with him here in the first place.
“I have to go home” I walk towards his door.
“No you aren’t” He stops me, again.
This time I’m slammed against the wall. His face inches away from mine. I start sweating.
“What are you doing?” I ask loudly but fear is written all over my voice.
“What you wanted from the first day you walked into Azora” He breathes.
What?
“Freaking let me go” His strong grab isn’t something I can win against.
Somehow I manage to loosen it for a few seconds, I shoot myself towards the door as fast as I can but my subconscious knows he’d catch me soon.
Weren’t I right? I’m slammed against a wall once again. My back hurts down my spine. Why the hell is he doing this? What is his intention?
“If you want to drink my blood then do so” I shout at his face and stretch out my neck.
“I’d do that but I don’t want you to die”
“Would you kindly let me go Romeo?” The first time I have ever used his name.
