-나는 그들의 것, 그들은 내 꺼야-

-author's pov-

as soonyoung and areum made their way home, they didn't know they were being watched. but soonyoung could still sense something was off but he didn't know what

they got into the car and started driving, areum took one of the towels they brought and put it over herself to shield herself from the ac of the car, "you should go to sleep, you're probably exhausted from today" he said fixing the towel over her

when they were at a red light, he looked around to see if anyone was watching them, the hair at the back of his neck was standing up

he looked back at areum for a moment

when areum was little she was a rather frail girl, she was weak. and as she grew older she was still frail but she was healthier than she was when she was young, doing ballet and other sports helped reinforce her, but she was still fragile

he looked back at the road and when the light turned green i started driving, he looked over at areum again and she was dozing off into a deep slumber

"why are you so cute?" he mumbled

you melted the cold heart of a cold old man... he thought

soonyoung turned a corner and started the uphill drive to the house, he sighed still feeling tense and a bit paranoid

🌷

-soonyoung's pov-

"hey areum" i whispered to her, i felt a bit bad waking her up. it looked like she was getting decent sleep for once, her nightmares were getting a bit out of hand

she wiggle around and whined, "fine you can rest for a bit" i mumbled, i turned the car back on and sat back on my seat

i think someone is watching us... i can't relax when i feel like this

ever since the explosion i've been rather aware of my surroundings and paranoid, i can't protect her properly right now, because i can't fight if i'm too preoccupied making sure she isn't looking and that they don't go for her

i sighed looking at her

🌷

-areum's pov-

i woke up to the sound of soonyoung talking to someone on the phone, i opened by eyes and looked outside to see it was already night

"op- soonyoung" i quickly corrected myself and sat up right, he turned to look over at me, "yeah, she just woke up, i have to go"

he looked concentrated and serious, but his face softened after he looked down at me and got off the phone, "you finally woke up" he said with a smile, "how long was i sleeping?" "about an hour, any nightmares?" his face changed to concern

"no, i slept well for once" i closed my eyes and softly smiled, "who were you on the phone with?" "i was just talking to seungcheol hyung, they're coming back soon" he said

"come on let's go in, you have to eat" he opened his car door and i did the same grabbing the bag we brought and the towel i was using as a blanket, "it feels nice to sleep well" i said underneath my breath

🌷

after we went inside i decided to go to take a shower and then eat, so after i got out of the shower i walked downstairs to find hoshi looking at something at his phone

that one hour nap was something else, it felt great to sleep well. sleeping has become a challenge for me because of the nightmares; but, the nightmares are always the same, i always see that woman, who is most likely my mother, and the people but now it's just become flashes, it's not like a memory anymore. but sometimes the dream changes, sometimes the dream is about the man.

when i'm in the dream, i see the man clearly. i can see his entire face, every single detail. but, when i wake up it becomes a blur again, it's frustrating because if i ever saw him in the street i would never know it's him, why is everything so complicated...

"you're done?" soonyoung's voice brought me out of my thoughts

"oh, yeah, so what are we having for dinner?" i asked with a cheerful face, "kimchi, of course" he has a kimchi obsession

"it's always kimchi with you" i said sitting down on the kitchen island and resting my chin on my arm, "of course! it's the best" he smile

(a/n i have no idea how to make kimchi, so i had to look up a youtube video on how to make kimchi... this was a learning experience)

"when are the other guys coming back?" i asked taking out the cabbage, "they should be coming back soon" i looked at all the ingredients we had already taken out: it was, cabbage, salt, sweet rice flour, radish, green onions, chives, fish sauce, salted shrimp, sugar, hot pepper flakes

"we're missing something" "what's missing, i thought we got everything" soonyoung said looking at everything, "oh, the garlic" i went to the fridge and took out the garlic

(a/n disappointed at the fact that i had too look up, "where do you store garlic", i'm disappointed in myself as a latinx person)

"can i ask a blunt question?" i said as i looked down at the garlic, "sure?" he looked at me with a confused expression

"w-where do you keep all the blood?" i stuttered, i never thought i would have to ask something like this

"um, in the secret basement" "we have a basement?" "it's a secret for a reason" i looked at him with an astonished expression, "i really don't know anything about you guys do i?" i asked myself putting the garlic down

"princess, you don't even know half of it" he said with a smirk, i had a flabbergasted expression because of the nickname, "why d-did you just call me p-princess?" my face was hot red, "what? it's a cute nickname" he looked calm and walked a little closer to me, putting a strand behind my ear, making me a nervous

"mingyu's the only one who's ever c-called me that" i stuttered looking into his eyes, they turned red

"why do you always have to mention the others when we're alone?" he whined, but it was a serious tone, he put his hand on my waist

"areum, you probably know this already. i'm a very jealous guy, and i don't like sharing anything that's mine" his aura completely changed, he became intimidating

i got a sudden surge of confidence and said, "w-who every said i was yours?" but i still stuttered, "i did" he had a scowl on his face

why do i have a tingling feeling in my lower abdomen?

"who ever told you i was yours?" he asked me, "what do you mean?" i had a confused expression on my face, "you always get jealous when i'm with other women. once i had a one night stand with a 'cheap' girl, your words not mine, and that other time at a restaurant, and just today. so tell me who's the possessive one between us?" he left me dumbfounded, but why not own up to it?

"so what if i'm possessive" when did i become such a brat...

"i don't mind it, it's just you've never admitted it. glad you did" he smiled, he quickly pulled me in and kissed me, taking me by surprise, but i didn't complain

i put my hand on the back of his head, pulling him closer, as he pulled me by my waist so that our chest were touching

soonyoung, when did you become like this? the moment felt so euphoric, the way his lips fit so perfectly into mine. they were so soft and gentle

but everything must come to an end, we were interrupted by the sound of his phone going off. i pulled away suddenly, putting my hand up to my lips and looking away from him

-soonyoung's pov-

ugh, stupid phone!! come on we were having a moment! i shouted internally, i picked up my phone, there was a message from the guys

i cleared my throat, "let's make kimchi" i said changing the topic, "was that a message from the others?" she looked up at me, still red

"yeah, they're coming back" i smiled down at her, "we have the garlic right?" "y-yeah" she chirped, "start getting the cabbage ready, i'll start with the paste" i ordered her and she sprung into action

(a/n mini cooking lesson)

i started by grabbing a knife, a cutting board, ginger, sugar, and fish sauce, shrimp paste,

i cut the radish, and the others ingredients and mixed them together, i turned my head to see areum putting salt on the cabbage and other things, once i finished i went to help her, since what i was doing was quicker and much easier to do, "are you done?" i asked her

she looked up from what she was doing, "y-yeah, i just finished" she's nervous, i thought to myself, "come on let's put the paste on it" i said grabbing the tub she was preparing the cabbage in

i put the tub on the floor so that it was easier to do, i started mixing it together with her help

areum, when did i fall for you? when did you become this person i admire? and somehow you've become more important to me than anyone else...

"what's it like being a vampire?" she said out of the blue, leaving me with a surprised expression, "i've always wanted to ask you, but i've never found the right time" she tried to explain

"*sigh* being a vampire, is like... it's honestly quite stressful, because the constant thirst for blood sometimes doesn't let you think, and also... there's a switch inside your brain that let's you turn off your emotions, and it's a constant temptation. but, hopefully you'll never have to know what it's like, because you'll never turn" i said in a low voice, she seemed a bit disappointed at the last part

"i'm also going to be blunt question, do you have feelings for me?" i asked her

🌷

do i have feelings for him? i asked myself

to be honest, i have always felt something for them, but i'm too young to know what love is. i feel like i'm repeating myself. i think that is what i feel for them. at least some of them, not all. because i don't see some of them in that way, like joshua oppa and woozi oppa, etc. but the ones that left... i think i do have feelings for them because i've gotten to know them again, but i've gotten to know them as men...

"yes" i mumbled lowly, "but... i also have feelings for the others too" i uttered underneath my breath, my eyes began to tear up. it's the first time i've ever truly admitted that
