-나는 그들의 것, 그들은 내 꺼야-

-chan's pov-

i wait patiently as vernon made his way back to the house with areum and the others. this is a big problem, they might just be after us but areum might get caught in the crossfire, meaning they could go after her and we can't allow that. every since she came into this household she has become the single most important thing to us

of course it's going to be easy dealing with them, but if they find out that areum exist; they might kill her. we can't allow that to happen

i was in the library, reading a few books, drinking the best wine in the house. i need something to take the edge off. since we still recently moved into this house we didn't have the fridge with all the blood installed yet, meaning i hadn't fed in a while now. the blood lust inside the house was getting a bit out of control, well mostly for wonwoo; he's a bit particular on the blood that he likes

sure we had blood, but not a lot. we only had o negative but wonwoo only likes ab positive, it was always a pain to get what he liked because it's so rare

suddenly seokmin walked in, looking rather serious. "what's up?" "nothing just tired" he mumbled sitting down across from me

the library had large windows, showing the beautiful sunset. all the walls that didn't have windows are paintings were full of shelves with books from different parts of the world and different eras

to be honest i don't regret becoming a vampire, it allowed me to travel the world and meet so many people, and thanks to me being so old i learn so many languages; like spanish, english, german, arabic and so on. it's given me so much experience... even though it made me a monster

during the early 1600s, i shut off my humanity and killed thousands, i was so tired of living then. so i chose to not care about anything. around that time i also had an argument with the guys and i left; i went on my own and shut it off. after about twenty-three years they found me, they tried so many ways of bringing me back, torture, emotional appeal, making me fear things, etc. in the end i came back. and i'm forever grateful for them, but i still can forgive myself for the pain i caused so many people

"when is vernon coming back?" seokmin yawned, taking me out of my thoughts

"in a little while don't worry" i mumbled continuing to read my book

🌷

i heard vernon opening the doors from upstairs, i could also hear the other guys entering, walking inside as well, as soon as i heard them start to talk i immediately closed the book and softly threw it on the table, seokmin followed behind me

being a vampire has its perks, like super hearing, and other things. i made my way downstairs, and smiled as soon as i saw areum's sleepy face, she really likes to sleep, i chuckled

she was holding on to vernon as she followed him around; almost like a lost puppy, but not in a bad way. "areum" i said softly grabbing her hand, she looked up at me, her eyes half open

"come on i'll take you to your bedroom" i said softly, she nodded rubbing her eyes a bit, "you're adorable" i mumbled

we walked up the stairs hand in hand, we stopped at the top and i looked down at her, "hey" i muttered making her look up at me, i softly held her cheek in my hand, "how are you... really?" i said genuinely worried, "i'm..." she looked to the side for a moment, "scared" she mumbled

i pulled her close to me, putting my chin on her head, she started sobbing, letting out all her emotions "shh it's okay" i said putting my hand at the back of her head and patting her back

"i don't want you guys to get hurt" she said into my chest, "we won't get hurt, i promise" i mumbled

after a few minutes i guided her to her new bedroom, the room was mostly white and had no real personality (a/n if that makes sense) it was rather basic but i hope she'll liven up the place with time

"you like it?" i asked her, she was looking around the room and softly smiled at it, "i like it, a lot" "you should get some rest, you're tired from the flight and probably have jet lag" she nodded and sat down on her new bed

"i don't want to sleep alone" she said looking up at me with her tearful eyes, "i can't sleep alone" "do you want me to sleep here?" i asked her sitting down on one of the loveseats

she nodded and laid back on the bed

-myungho's pov-

i was walking towards seungcheol's office where he was. i needed to talk to him about the other night when i told him about areum's scars, i need to know if she's ok

knocking on the door i heard a "come in", i walked in "hyung?" i said looking at him. he was reading some documents on his desk

his study was very contemporary, the floors were a tan color and it has a huge window, with black shelves and an L shaped table

he looked a bit frustrated, he hummed as a response not looking up at me, "hyung i need to talk to you about the other night" i said in a calm tone, "what is it?" he said finally lifting his head

"did you ask areum about the scars? i didn't want to ask her while we were in china?" he sighed before answering me, "i um... it's a very personal thing" he said putting his lips in a thin line, i furrowed my brows at what he said, "what do you mean a personal matter? i've literally known her her entire life! how is something like this too 'personal'" i said with air quotes, almost shouting

"myungho... sometimes telling the people closest to you is the hardest thing to do" he said in a serious tone while sitting back on his seat. i scowled at him, but then i took in a deep breath and calmed down a bit, i don't like getting angry, "hyung, please just tell me. i'm worried about her" i said sitting down on the seat across from him

"it isn't my secret to tell, if you want to know all the details ask her, but all i can tell you is that she went through a rough time... but she's better now" he said looking down at his hands

i sighed not satisfied with his answer, i rubbed my temples. "alright, at least she's better now, i'll ask her eventually" i said getting up and walking out, leaving hyung in his study

i don't like her keeping secrets, she's the most important person to me. but i guess... she isn't ready to tell me yet. i remember the night i found her, i don't know what it was about her, but something about her made me fall in love with her in that very moment. she was so enchanting, after she stopped crying she looked so peaceful. when i saw her eyes, they were the most beautiful eyes i'd ever laid eyes on. they were these big chocolate doe eyes and her skin was so soft. she had these three little hairs on her head *chuckles* and chubby little hands

i've seen many babies in my many lifetimes, but she was the most adorable and sweet. before i found her i tended to be cold hearted towards children, i honestly thought they were kind of annoying, i thought the only children i could bear would be my own children. if that time ever comes

i took a quick shower and changed into dark grey sweatpants and a navy sweatshirt, it was still december so it was still a bit chilly, it was actually just over 60°F. i walked to areum's new room and she was still in the shower

i hope she's alright, i want her to be healthy and happy at all costs

after about ten minutes of waiting on her bed, she finally stopped the shower and walked out shortly after

what she was wearing:

"what do you have on you face?" i said chuckling a bit, she looked at me with an innocent face, nit knowing what i was talking about. she was wearing a cute pink headband with a bow and a black face mask, i laughed a little

"i had a pimple so i started my night routine again, it's just a facemask" she was genuinely confused by me question

"areum i've never seen any acne on your face, ever" "you just don't pay attention enough, it's not like you've ever had acne" she said sitting down at the end of the bed, "'HA I'VE NEVER HAD ACNE' my ass" i said laughing a little too much, she pouted at me, "when have you ever had acne?" she asked me looking at the clock, waiting to take the mask off her face

"when i was a teenager i had a lot of acne, and there was nothing i could do about it because of the time" i smiled at her, it's been a while since we've talked this much, i thought, "so like a million years ago?" she said mocking me a little, she smiled at me

she looked at the clock once again and finally took off her mask, tapping her face softly. "i'm going to throw this away and then i'll sleep" she yawned

with that i got under the covers and laid back, she came back giggling and jogging a little, she jumped on the other side of the bed and got under the covers quickly. "your mood quickly changed" i commented, "and thank you for that" she said smiling cutely

"can i ask you something?" i said, "sure"

-areum's pov-

"what do you want to ask me?" "what... happened on christmas? when you came out of the room passed out?" he asked cautiously

i looked at the ceiling for a moment, "um... can i be honest?" i mumbled, not as giddy as before, i felt him nod, "i don't really remember" i mumbled a little, he got on his elbow and looked at me with a confused expression

"i mean i know he attacked me, i... just don't... remember him actually biting me, i remember everything up until he attacked me" i explained, "maybe it's trauma" he mumbled looking down at me, "what do you mean trauma?" "when someone goes through a trauma, sometimes the brain tries to suppress the memories or tries to forget them to save itself from it" he said

"oh, i don't know. maybe it is?" i said shrugging a bit, "but something kai said really stuck out to me" i said putting my index finger out, "what was it?" "he talked about how vampires came to be, about the goddess selene and her lover ambriogo... and then he said... he was ambriogo" "goddess selene?" he mumbled

"jun said it was written on my baby blanket and a moon embroidered onto it as well" was my name supposed to be moon selene or something? i thought furrowing my brows, "yeah it was on it, was that supposed to be your name?" he chuckled a bit. i looked at him with wide eyes, "can you read my mind or something?" "what are you talking about?" he mumbled

"i thought of the same thing right now" i said dumbfounded, "oh... must be coincidence" he chuckled rubbing the back of his head

"jun oppa said he would help me find my parent's and what the whole 'selene' thing means" "i'll help you too, if you really want to know who they were, i'll help you too" he said reassuring me "thank you" i mumbled smiling and hugging him, he was a bit surprised but he hugged me back

"let's go to sleep, you must be tired" he yawned, letting me go and laying down on the bed, i nodded and laid down as well, clinging onto him, "goodnight princess" he mumbled and hugged me back

we fell asleep like that, in each others arms. if i'm being honest chan was always my safe place, he was always so easy to get along with. it was never awkward with him which i was grateful for
