-나는 그들의 것, 그들은 내 꺼야-

the day went by like normal. after art i went to my french class, which was always a piece of cake because i actually lived in france

the teacher also loved me because of my skills in the language

after that it was calculus and physical education

the rest of the day my mind kept going back to what mingyu said to me. about not having to choose. but i think that would make them angry at me

they might see me as a slut for staying with all of them. but my heart just won't let me choose...

i don't want to make them angry, but i also want to stay true to my heart

how can i have both?

"areum" vernon said as he ran to catch up to where i was. we were still in physical education class and were running a few laps

"hey" i said looking up from the floor to see his face

"are you okay? you look like you're deep in though" he chuckled a bit

"oh sorry. i was just thinking about something" i made up a lie on the spot

"what're we going to do when we get home? for mingyu oppa's birthday?" i asked him with a calm voice

"we're just going to spend the night together, and a few of his friends are coming over. i don't think you've met them yet" "you mean jungkook and the other three guys? i don't remember their names"

"how did you know?" he looked at me with an intrigued face

i chuckled at his expression, "a long time ago, i think it was the day you guys left maybe, jungkook brought me to a bar..." i stopped for a moment to look at his expression, he looked rather angry, "jungkook brought you to a bar? when you were thirteen?" he raised his voice a little

"calm down, that's not the point of the story" i jokingly scolded him, he backed down and made a face for me to continue. but he still had an annoyed expression, "at the bar, i met three guys. jungkook said they were close friends with mingyu. he also told me not to tell you guys that he brought me there" i said the last part feeling a little guilty for letting out our little secret

i looked up at him, does he have any other expressions? i asked myself when i say his, still, annoyed face

"can you just forget the fact that he brought me to a bar? i was fine he was there to protect me" i argued, but he remained silent

we continued to walk and i could still feel his angry eyes on me, it's not like i wanted to go to the bar

i shouldn't have told him that

"i'm going to break jungkook's face" he let out, anger laced in his voice

"vernon oppa" i whined at him, "please jungkook is going to get mad that i told you, don't get mad" i whined like a child not getting what they want

his lips turned into a thin line as he looked at me, "the other three guys were like us. you could have been in danger regardless of him being there. i am going to get angry areum" he snapped. the people that were walking past us looked at us with weird faces

"i know they were like you" i argued back as i stopped walking and so did he

i realized what happened that day after i found out they were vampires. the way they reacted when my lips started bleeding. they way jungkook hurried to get me out of the bar. it finally made sense. it explained what happened

it also explained so many other weird things that happened, but never had the courage to ask about. like how they never seemed to age and how sometimes their eyes were a little red when they got angry. how they were always tense when i was on my period, even when i hadn't told them i was on it

everything was explained after that

"it's in the past. let it go" i continued, "the only reason he brought me to that bar was to get me out of school because eunjung was going to hit me"

he let out a deep, annoyed, sigh. "whatever, but i'm still calling him out on it" he pointed a finger at me

on the ride home i was in the same car as cheol, soonyoung, and jeonghan. it was relatively calm but me and jeonghan kept making fun of soonyoung's funny habits

especially the habit where he goes "horanghae" when all of us are around

recently jeonghan and i have gotten closer. when i was really young, most of the memories i have are of him taking care of me. the way he nagged at me, when he fed me when mingyu wasn't around, and how i used to play with his long hair, trying to learn how to braid it and failing

it was a little awkward after he came back. i didn't know if we were still going to have that kind of relationship again. clearly we didn't. he no longer had to take care of and since the last time he had seen me i was just a thirteen year old girl. now our relationship was more friendly and we always joke about everything together. in his words i'm his "accomplice" because most of the time it's him teaching me how to annoy the others

"jeonghan oppa, you're 695, right?" i asked him a bit curious, "yeah, is there something you want to know?"

"heck yeah, what famous people have you met?" i asked with excited eyes, almost like an excited puppy

"well, we met leonardo da vinci" he said thinking a bit, "woah, really!? what was he like?" my eyes filled with curiosity and excitement

"he was a bit of a mad man but he was a genius, we only met him once in 1511, but he left an impression on us..."

the entire car ride i kept asking questions about what they've experienced and seen throughout their lifetimes. every once in a soonyoung and cheol engaging inter he conversation but it was mostly jeonghan. the way he spoke of the past had a melancholy feel, almost like he missed it. all that he's seen and done, is in the past

"you guys have seen everything" i said with astonishment

"you could say that" he chuckled

how did they never get tired of life when they've seen almost everything and been almost everywhere

🌷

our car was the first one to get to the house and we were meant to prepare for the guest that are coming over but seungcheol wouldn't allow me to help. he told me to go upstairs and try to rest up. my nightmares were still a problem, they still won't allow me to sleep well

but if i went to sleep the nightmares would return so i chose not to listen to him

jeonghan told me that the other guys went out for a drink, to celebrate just them. kinda rude to leave me behind but whatever

"soonyoung, where are the candles?" i came up to him, "ask hyung, he might know"

which one?

"cheol!" i screamed out as i walked around the house, but he was nowhere to be found

"jeonghan oppa, do you know where cheol is?" i asked him when i saw him in the kitchen looking at a few wine bottles

"i think he's in his room" he said not looking away from the bottles in his hands

"is that even really wine?" i whispered underneath my breath, he looked up at me and chuckled, somehow being able to hear me, "some of them are and i need to separate the ones that are with the ones that aren't" he smiled at me as if he isn't holding juman blood in his hand

"okay, i'm going to go find cheol" i walked away towards the stairs to where jeonghan said seungcheol was

"seungcheol!" i shouted as i walked up the stairs, giggling a little

i should have just asked jeonghan, i groaned

nonetheless i walked into his room and didn't see him there, but his shower was on. so i walked towards the bathroom but stopped when i heard something

he was moaning...
