“I know what you are…” I whisper just enough to be audible to myself.
“Say it.” Kyungsoo merely requests, “Say it out loud.”
“Vampire.”
A silence instills in the air after my last breath of that word. I think he’s letting the tension build up just to spite me, and it’s working. I’m so frozen in place, anticipating anything and everything that he could do to me now. I think of how quiet he usually is, how graceful he is despite his kiddish facial expressions and innocent exterior, how dazzling his eyes were when they suddenly sparked that deep golden color and I remember how there were specks of silver mixed into his gorgeous irises. I think of him and how resilient he is when he’s near me, but he’s perfectly fine around other humans. I think of him, and how much I trust him. I like him too much not to.
The distant beeping and movement from hundreds of stories below us from the rooftop of this skyscraper building we’re standing on keeps me sane, reminding me that I’m still alive and that I can still trust Kyungsoo. But the dark night sky isn’t illuminated anymore since I’m too high up for any lights to shine above my peripheral vision. It leaves an eerier feeling to the atmosphere.
“So…” Kyungsoo’s low voice surprises me when it suddenly breaks through the silence, “What now?” he says it almost… menacingly, his breath intentionally being breathed onto the back of my neck and sending shivers down my spine. And when his lips graze the side of my neck and he parts them to let his teeth have a graze as well, he knows I freeze up. “Whaaat are we going to do with you? Since you’re a special snowflake who’s decided to figure it all out yourself.”
He’s taunting me. He’s teasing me, is what he’s doing. He won’t really do anything to me. I know it. Kyungsoo may be a blood-sucking supernatural creature that only exists in legends to play rampaging antagonist without control over their thirst, but he’s still Kyungsoo. He’s still the guy that laughs with kids and cooks kimchi spaghetti and makes strange facial convulsions without consciously knowing it. He’s still the guy that I have a major crush on and just because there’s a chance that he could probably kill me with a hickey, I don’t like him any less. I begin to wonder if I like him any more than I already do. It’d be dangerous no doubt, but when has danger ever not been hot?
After finally gulping down a lump in my throat, I take in a breath and find the courage to say, “I like you.”
“I can see that.” Kyungsoo seems to find this really amusing, and it’s really hurting my dignity. “Do you still like me?” he asks as he put two hot hands on either side of my waist and gently licks a spot on my neck before placing his lips on it.
“…Yes.” I finally answer, not turning back.
“Then in that case…” he brings his hands forward to interlace them together in front of my waist as he leans his chin on my shoulder, looking up at me, “Would you like to go for a ride with me?”
There are so many possibilities to this question, and I could probably end up dead in every single one of them. But I could also end up dead whenever I pick up a butter knife, so what’s the harm as long as I’m careful?
“Yes.”
“You’re not going to turn back?” he asks once more.
“No.”
He chuckles with a small smirk on his face before letting go of my waist and removing his chin from my shoulder, “Alright. I hope you know what you’re getting yourself into.” He says.
And just half a second later, I’m on his back, his arms keeping a secure hold on me, as he jumps off of the building and fucking sprints down the side of the skyscraper office building. We make it to the bottom of the 120 floored building in less than three seconds and the street lights and cars just fly past us as if I’m being fast forwarded through a city tour. The blurs doing stop until tears are falling out of the corners of my eyes and we’re encompassed by darkness, and trees. Lots and lots of trees.
The nearest forest to the city is several miles away from the highway, and we’ve made it through the heart of the city, past the several interstates, and probably three or more miles into the forest in a span of less than 6 minutes. Kyungsoo lets me collect myself and wipe the tears from my eyes before he lets me down on a large rock.
When I’m finished pulling myself together, I look up at the silhouette of Kyungsoo before me and pat the spot on the rock beside me, “Join me.”
He does so quietly, and after a minute or so of letting the silence set in and my heartbeat to calm down, it starts getting faster again as I reach over to take Kyungsoo’s hand. Although it’s too dark for me to see, I’m sure he’s giving me a confused, or at least somewhat incredulous look. And although it’s dark, I know how can probably see or at least feel me blushing, not to mention sense the erratic pulse beating through my chest.
His hand is warm, and he radiates heat on his own. It makes me want to curl up by his side and lie with him on a couch watching movies with a blanket covering the two of us. But maybe those are just my eccentric hormones working my imagination again, as they have many times before. And then I begin to wonder if knows that already. Does he have any other supernatural abilities? Any that could lead to my destructive humiliation? Probably.
“So… can you do any other amazing things?” I try timidly.
He lets out a chuckle at that, giving my hand a small clench to show his endless amusement at me, “Sadly, I can’t. We’re really nothing amazing. We’re really not that different, you know.” He says thoughtfully, as if he’s looking at me. “We still survive off of the same things, we can still die in the same ways. It’s just that we also thrive of other substances, and we’re more immune to other poisons.”
“Not different, my ass.” I manage to scoff, “You just ran a triathlon in half the time it takes for me to get ready in the morning.”
“Really? Then you must be quite fast in the bathroom.” He comments with what I think would be a smile if I could see, “For a human girl, at least. I appreciate those who enjoy showing off their natural beauty.” He uses his free hand to stroke my cheek. The way he caresses me is just so gentle, and loving, that all I can think about right now is getting closer to him. That’s all I want. To close the space between us so that I can hold him in my arms, or so he can hold me in his arms, or so we can make out or something of the sort. That wouldn’t hurt either.
“Are you sure about this?” Kyungsoo asks after I stare at the general shape of his face in the dark.
“Yeah…” Is all I can say. What else would I say? I’m in too deep now. He did say that we weren’t that different, so I’d expect him not to have any mind-erasing abilities.
“Your final warning.” He cautions.
“All in.” I confirm.
He looks at me for another moment, and I think he’s going to kiss me but of course, vampires are fucking dramatic about everything, so I feel him smile just a centimeter away from me when he pulls away and stands up, “Then let’s go introduce you to the others.”
“Huh?” I utter out, but he lets go of my hand and I’m on his back already. We’re speed through trees and streets and lights and air until we’re in the richer, quieter part of the city. The part of the city that’s secluded and for prestigious gated communities. Kyungsoo didn’t even have to open a passcode or anything, he just jumped over the gate.
It seems that the majority of them had expected me, or they probably smelled me, because several of them open the door just as Kyungsoo freezes in front of it and lets me down. I take another moment to catch my head before following him inside. He’s got a tight, shameless grip on my hand as he leads me into the large house, and I’m still busy blinking away the blurs when we stand in the huge living room filled with guys and girls.
“Ooh! Looks like Kyungsoo finally found one!” One of the guys sitting on the floor shouts.
“Hooray! A snack!” one of them walks forward towards me with ravishing eyes, and I step back, giving him a strange look. But Kyungsoo keeps a hold on my hand so I don’t go far.
“Darn, this one doesn’t react amusingly at all.” The boy who had just walked up to me pouts as he walks away.
“Well, are you sure about this one, Kyungsoo?” one of the more authoritative guys asks from the side, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, looking like an effortless model.
“Why not?” he shrugs.
“We can’t have another body in this house without complete commitment.” He states firmly.
“Don’t worry, she said she was all in.” Kyungsoo reassures as he turns to me, “Ready?”
“What?” I ask dumbly.
Without answering, he grips my shoulders and makes his way to my neck, making a show to bare his teeth as he comes towards me. “Wait, wait, wait!” I say, pull back, “What do you think you’re doing?”
“You said you wouldn’t turn back. I thought you knew what you were getting into.” Kyungsoo says, looking amused at your extremely shocked expression, just as everyone else is.
“It’s okay, you and Kyung can share a room. We’ll just kick Kai into another room.” The tall one sitting on the floor laughs.
“What?!” I shout, wide-eyed as I look at Kyungsoo for answers, “Please don’t tell me you’re actually going to do this. Please! I’m not ready for that. Kyungsoo, you didn’t even say you liked me!” I plead, holding my hands together.
“You didn’t? Ouch, Kyung, ouch.” The boy who had attempted to prank me earlier comments.
Now I’m truly freaking out. Was Kyungsoo seriously going to bite me and turn me into one of them?! I’m not ready for that at all! I only had a crush on the guy! I don’t want to have sliver-flecked golden eyes yet! I don’t know how to speed sprint through forests and street corners! I’m totally into the idea of dating the guy, but this isn’t a rash decision I’m making in Vegas! I told myself I’d be at least 23 before I made a mistake like that.
When I voice all this aloud, the first one to last is one of the girls. It seems as though she can’t hold it in any longer, so she finally breaks. And soon, the rest of the group in the living room follows along. Even Kyungsoo and the serious guy leaning against the wall crack smiles and chuckles.
“…What?” I gulp with worried eyes, “Wait. No!” I exclaim, realizing that I’ve been played. “I’m going to lose all my dignity around you guys.” I huff embarrassedly, “I’m going to go.” I say to Kyungsoo before making my way towards what I think is the door.
Kyungsoo comes after me, still chortling when he takes hold of my hand. This time, I make a dramatic move to pull it away from him and pout to myself. When we’re outside and walking down the long hill towards the gate that’ll probably take ten minutes to reach at a human pace, Kyungsoo takes my hand again and stops me. “Hey, relax. They like you, okay?”
“Yeah! Because I just gave them a show where I humiliated myself through misleading assumptions! I was the joke in there! That’s embarrassing!” I retort.
“Listen, it’s okay. They like you, and they know that I’m with you now. So, I had assumed you knew this already, but I like you. I really like you. And I think we could develop into something strong in the future if you keep the kind of strong mindset you have now. You’ve gained my trust.” Kyungsoo smiles as he holds my hand.
“Well who said you had mine.” I grumble to myself, making him laugh before he leans forward to kiss me. His lips are incredibly soft and overwhelming because they’re so big. I kind of love it.
But then his eyes flash with more prominent specks of silver and his face hardens, “But it wasn’t a joke.” He says just before he reaches down to sink his teeth into my neck.
I let out a gasp and clutch onto his shoulders when the venom invades my bloodstream and I can feel a transformation happening as he sucks in my blood and exchanges it with the venom from his teeth. When he pulls away, he offers his own neck to me, telling me that if I don’t take some of his, I would die within the hour. This is the most nerve wracking decision I’ll ever face in my life, and I can already see the glinting color of my eyes changing in the reflection that I see from his. I’m on the verge of tears as I lean down to sink my teeth into his neck and taste the luscious silken blood that heats me up as it travels down my throat.
I trusted him.
