-나는 그들의 것, 그들은 내 꺼야-

-soonyoung's pov-

it's thundering really loud, i hope areum's okay, i thought to myself as i sat awake in my bed, staring at the furniture in front of me, "i should check up on her" i told myself

even when she was a baby, whenever it thundered, she would cry like there's no tomorrow. i would always be the one to comfort her when ever she feels afraid. the others were also there but most of the time i was the one comforting her

so, whenever there is a thunderstorm, she comes to my room or i go to hers. it's an unspoken thing between us, whenever it's thundering, i'm the one she goes to

but tonight, she hasn't come yet. it's been an hour since it started, and she still hasn't entered my bedroom and i was beginning to get worried about her

i stood up from my comfortable bed and started walking out the door, making sure to bring an extra pillow with me

she must be freezing. it november and we don't generally use the ac during that time so the temperature that's outside is the one that we feel inside. for us it doesn't bother us because we're used to cold temperatures from the time we lived in much colder areas, but she's still young and she's generally a very fragile person

areum has always been weak when it comes to getting sick. she gets ill quite easily and that's something that's always worried me. but at the same time, she's endured years of abuse from that brat in her school

when jun came to us and told us what was happening to her in school, i was furious. i wanted to rip that bitch's head off. generally, i don't like violence but when it comes to areum, i would do anything to protect her. anything

i slightly knocked on her door, hoping not to scare her too much

but when i knocked the door cracked open the slightest bit, it revealed her room was empty and her blanket wasn't on her bed

"where is she?" i muttered with a confused expression

i walked in and looked around, panic rising in me. "areum?" i called out

calm down soonyoung, she's probably somewhere else. she's fine. i tried to calm myself down by taking deep breathes and walking out her room

i looked at both ends of the hallway; it was dark, and it created a gloomy atmosphere

reminds me of my youth when i couldn't stand the darkness. i hated it, it made me feel unsafe and it created fear in me. even when i was a vampire in my early fledgling days, when i was a powerful vampire, i was still afraid of the darkness

call me foolish or whatever you want, but i hate the darkness

but after a few years, when i realized i could protect myself, when i realized i was dangerous, that fear disappeared from my mind

now i just don't like it

times were different back then. back then it felt like you were in constant danger from bandits of the night. but when i became easy to kill them things changed. i used to be afraid of them, but they became afraid of me...

i walked near seungcheol's room, almost passing it by; but when i heard voices, i stopped in my tracks

there were two people in there. i wasn't going to pry and try to open the door and be nosy, but when i realized it was areum's voice i got a little angry and betrayed

i thought i was the one you always went to...

i could barely make out what they were saying, but i could make out some things that they were saying

"...i know what vernon said to you that day at the beach... i also have feelings for you..." he said

and then there was silence...

i stood there for a few seconds, trying to process what he said. they kept talking a little, but i wasn't paying attention to their words

i was aware that vernon said his feelings but... seungcheol too...

i heard vernon that day at the beach, all of us did. i hated that he confessed, but i kept it to myself. i was also aware that some of the others could also have feelings for her just from the way they looked at her. but i didn't think they would actually do something about their feelings

i mean... whenever they have feelings for someone, they generally keep it to themselves because they're too cowardly to do something... but this is different from then

seungcheol has never revealed his feelings to someone, but if he's confessing to her then that means the others are also going to start doing the same thing...

god damn it...

why do i feel like this?!

why am i feelings so angry about this?!

the blood running through my veins were burning

i scowled at his words

but what i heard next took me by surprise, "...you're my cheol..." she said, her voice was muffled but i could tell what she was saying

her cheol?! what?!

i walked away, not wanting to hear anymore. i was too infuriated to even care what they were saying after that. at this point i was sure my eyes had turned blood red from the anger i felt and that was also the only color i could see. red

i made my way downstairs the kitchen, their words playing in my head again and again like a broken record.

when i entered the kitchen, i stumbled upon somi looking for something to eat

i've caught her a few times in the middle of the night. i don't blame her though, i too sometimes wake up to drink something in the middle of the night, but that 'something' is usually blood or alcohol

"what are you doing?" i said with annoyance laced in my tone, "oh!" she flinched at the sound of my voice. "i-i'm so sorry s-sir, i was j-just looking for a midnight s-snack" she stuttered out surprised by my presence. she bowed down in apology

"fine something quick and leave" i ordered and sat down on the kitchen island, "yes sir" she said

i need her to leave so that she doesn't notice my eyes. somi isn't aware that we are vampires and it's best for her to not know that small fact. she should be able to live a normal human life

i watched as she quickly stumbled to the fridge and took out some strawberry yogurt, she left quickly after that

"thank god" i muttered to myself, relieved that she wasn't in the room anymore and i could drink something

"why are you saying thank god?" jihoon suddenly spoke up behind me. he took me by surprise, and i flinched a little

"when did you get here?" i muttered, annoyance in my voice. he walked to the fridge and opened the bottom, "i'm looking for something to eat" he said. jihoon ignored the tone of my voice, he's used to my temper tantrums by now

"bring out a bottle and pour some for me" i told him, "sure, what type?" he muttered as he looked at all the wine bottles filled with blood at the bottom of the fridge

"whatever, it doesn't matter to me" i muttered

i glared at the counter in front of me, repeating their conversation repeatedly

"what's bothering you?" he asked me as he brought a bottle and two wine glasses to me

"nothing" i muttered, he looked at me with a face of disbelief, not believing my lie

"okay, i'm going to pour this in your glass and then you're going to tell me what's wrong" he said as he opened the bottle and poured the red liquid in our wine glasses

i sighed as the scent of blood filled my nose. "fine" i muttered

"here" jihoon offered me a glass and sat down next to me

jihoon always knows how to get me to talk. he may be younger than me, but he treats me like we're the same age, that's probably because i always act like a child when we aren't working

he's always someone i can talk to and vice versa. we've helped each other throughout the years and somehow, i haven't ruined our friendship

"i um... i overheard a conversation i would have rather not heard" i explained as i took a sip from the wine glass

"what was it about?" he asked, he had a serious expression on his face

jihoon always asks questions and i always pour my heart out, and always, he has the same expression on his face no matter what i say

"it was areum and seungcheol hyung..." i paused for a moment. should i tell him this?

fuck it

"he... um they... no- he confessed his feelings for her... and she did the same i think" i said out loud

the words coming out of me harshly. it was hard for me to say... i'm not sure why but they were hard for me to say

i looked at the wine glass with sadness in my eyes and slight betrayal. jihoon didn't speak, surprised at my words

"oh... i wasn't expecting that" he mumbled looking forward with a blank expression, "i mean... i don't like the idea of them being together but why are you so mad about it?" he muttered as he drank the last of the red liquid in his cup

"i... i-i don't know" my voice was small and uncertain, finishing the drink in my hand

"i don't want to talk about it" i grabbed the bottle and poured some more in our cups. "are you sure you don't have feelings for her?" he muttered

what he said halted my actions. i had never considered what he said. i care about her because she's areum, but do i love her?

"hyung... you look at her with pure love and admiration and whenever she starts getting too close to someone, you start glaring daggers at them. your heart quickens when you look at her or when she started getting really close to you" he said, gulping down his entire cup

"n-no i don't" i stood up from my seat, "jihoon, i said i didn't want to talk about it!" i almost yelled at him

i can't be in this house right now

"where are you going?" he asked me. i was walking out of the kitchen when he asked me

"to get laid" i said nonchalantly

i went to my room and walked past where they were. i could hear anything, and the thunder had subsided meaning she was probably sleeping peacefully. i walked into my room and changed into something more appropriate for a club

"i can't have feelings for a seventeen-year-old girl" i muttered harshly as i slammed the door to my car

🌷

-6:00 am-

eventually i woke up to find a girl next to me and a huge hangover

the girl was pretty, she had very defined features and long dark hair with tan skin, she was slim but curvy at the same time. women in paris are beautiful

"hey, wake up" i said to her, shaking her, i need to get her out of the house before anyone sees her

she flinched when she felt me shaking her, must be a light sleeper, i thought

"what is it" she mumbled barely awake and groaning when the sun hit her face

"get out of the house" i said sitting up, rubbing my face

she just groaned and covered herself with a blanket

this is going to be annoying

🌷

in the end i had to compel her to leave because she wouldn't on her own, but i did feed her my blood so that her bite marks would heal

i went to my bathroom and looked at my reflection

i looked like a mess, the number of marks on my neck and chest were countless

at that moment i was just wearing my boxers and my hair was a complete mess, birds could make a next out of my hair

"hopefully none of the guys saw her when she left... what was her name?" i stopped for a moment

"whatever" i went to the sink and wash my face. i couldn't remember much from after i left the house and it was really annoying me because i don't know if someone saw us

i groaned out of frustration and went back to my bed to continue sleeping

-areum's pov-

i woke up to a cold empty bed, i was alone in cheol's room

the room was cold but the morning sun warmed me up. funny how my mood determines how the sun feels on my skin, i chuckled

i wonder where he is

"he would have told me if he left right?" i muttered

i looked at the end table next to my side and saw a note from what i imagined to be cheol, it read:

"areum, sorry you woke up like this all of the boys and i left to do something about work we'll be back by dinner time so don't worry, alright? also soonyoung and chris should be at home by the time you wake up so that you aren't lonely. see you at dinner time~"

i'm a little disappointed that he's not here, i wanted to continue our conversation from last night. actually, now that i think about it, i don't

talking about what happened last night means i have to talk about my feelings... and my feelings make no sense

i slowly got out of his bed and made my way to his bathroom

his bathroom seemed much bigger than mine and it felt more modern and slick, actually his entire room was much bigger than mine. i thought i had the biggest room

first time i've ever been here...

i made my way to his bathtub, quickly undressing and getting in the tub and turning on the water

the warm water felt nice on my cold skin

i quickly bathed, not wanting to waste any time, quickly getting a towel and making my way to cheol's closet

it was massive

an entire bedroom could fit in here. he had so much clothing, it was unbelievable, and yet i always see him in the same three shirts, i chuckled

it left me with my jaw to the floor

i went to the section that had the most hoodies and grabbed the biggest one, and went to the sweats part and tried to find the smallest since. I'm tiny compared to seungcheol

in the end i ended up wearing this:

(no shoes)

i'm surprised it actually fits

my mood today was nice. i felt good. i felt happy

i went out of his room and downstairs where i saw bang chan lounging on the couch

i ignored him and walked past him

"hey areum!" he semi shouted "hm" "where's my hello?" "oh, hey good morning" i said bowing slightly

"by the way you stink of seungcheol hyung" he said pointing at me, scowling, "you can tell?" i said in a bit of a pouty voice

"yeah, did you sleep in his room?" he looked up at me from the couch

"that's none of your business, but yes i did" i mumbled the last part, walking to the kitchen hoping to see soonyoung but he wasn't there

"hey chris, where is soonyoung oppa?!" i shouted from the kitchen, i thought he was supposed to be in the house

"he might still be sleeping..." he shouted from the living room, "...why don't you call me oppa" he said annoyance in his voice "because i don't" i gave him an innocent smile as i walked upstairs

i could barely hear him mutter, "whatever" i chuckled at his whiny response

i actually don't know why i don't call him oppa, i just never did. that's just how it was, but i sometimes called him kangaroo. with jungkook i called him koo or kook. it never became a habit for me to call them 'oppa'

whatever, i shrugged and finally made my way to the top of the stairs

quickly running happily to soonyoung's room

i knocked before entering, but i didn't get an answer, so i just walked in

his room stank of alcohol and other things i would rather not mention. he was sleeping on his bed sound asleep

he was in a chest down position but i could only see the top of his head, since he was covered by the blanket, and he was on the side that was farther from the door

he must have slept with someone last night

i felt a little sting in my heart at the thought

"oppa" i said walking towards the other side of the bed where he was

he didn't respond to my call

"oppa" this time a little louder, he shrugged and i let out a small sigh

"this is getting annoying" i mumbled, "soonyoung oppa" this time a little over regular talking voice

"leave me alone" he said moving to the other side of the bed, but still chest down position

my patience was running thin, "ugh fine" i laid on top of him, my back on his back

usually they're the ones that wake me up, but whenever the tables are turned i bother them as much as i can. it's the only time i can tease them about this

"areum i'm in a bad mood don't bother me" his voice was muffled because his face was on the pillow

"i don't care, you have to get up it's almost 1 pm" i said to him, a little laughter in my voice

nothing, he said nothing

i wonder what's bothering him, i thought

i got off him and took the blanket off of him and it was a huge mistake, he was only wearing his black boxers, my face became red like a tomato at the sight

he was fuming now, "areum, seriously. leave. me. alone." he snarled, sitting up, showing all the marks on his neck and chest

i don't know why but it made me jealous and angry, but i tried my best to brush it off

"no, come on. i'll stop bothering you when you get up, so just get up" i whined at him

he just groaned at what i said and got up, kissed my forehead, and went to the bathroom in one fell swoop, leaving me completely flustered

i put his blanket down and laid down on his bed, chest facing up. his actions left me completely frozen

"what's with this smell" i mumbled while hugging his pillow

it didn't have his scent, it smelled like cheap perfume, alcohol, and cigarettes

"out of all people it had to be a cheap girl?" i mumbled throwing his pillow away

i sat up and looked properly at the bed sheets, realizing there was blood on the other side of it

what happened here?

"he should change his sheets" i mumbled as i looked at the sheets in horror

i sat up from the bed and sat down on the loveseat next to his bed. i didn't want to believe what i was seeing

he must like biting his partner when he's having sex... i hope the girl is okay

what am i talking about!? he's soonyoung he wouldn't kill some girl he found in a bar... right?

i should stop asking questions, it isn't my business

he got out of the bathroom, steam coming out the door. he walked out only wearing sweat pants and nothing on his torso. my face became a little red again

"are you ok?" he asked me, drying his hair, "i'm fine" i mumbled looking away from him

he came towards me "are you jealous?" he said hovering over me

i raised my eyebrow, "whoever said i was jealous?" i said giving him a bit of attitude

"don't give me attitude, and i've known you since before you could retain any memories, so don't lie" his face getting closer. the closer he got the redder i became, i could still see a few hickeys on his neck

"out of all women you picked a girl that smells like cheap perfume and cigarettes. you have better taste than that" i crossed my arms over my chest

"really like who?" he whispered, our noses basically touching. this situation made me uncomfortable

he's too close "um..." i avoided eye contact

"areum, who?" he repeated more seriously

"i don't... know" i mumbled my face redder than before

he chuckled his eyes going in a 10:10 position, "you're cute when you're jealous" he said backing away a little but still close, while poking my cheek

i just pouted, "seriously though, why are you jealous?" he asked once again "why are you in a bad mood?" i questioned back, a smirk on my face

"touché" he mumbled getting off me while giving me a smirk, i let out a breath i didn't know i was holding

"is the girl okay?" i asked him, the smirk on my face disappearing

"she's fine. don't worry. i healed her before she left" he explained as he put on a white tank top

-author's pov-

they were both holding secrets from each other, both not wanting to admit that they felt something

areum didn't even know what she was feeling. soonyoung not wanting to admit he was in love with her, and jealous of vernon and seungcheol

"change your sheets" areum mumble getting out of the room while soonyoung was fixing his shirt

he nodded, watching her walk out and that's when he noticed she was wearing seungcheol's clothes and scowled
