-나는 그들의 것, 그들의 내 꺼야-

-soonyoung's pov-

"i think we should get going, and don't worry mingyu. she'll be fine" i assured my younger brother, patting his shoulder as i guided areum away, a timid smile still on her face with a matching blush on her cheeks

i felt a stinge of jealousy in me and i slightly scowled

i know she loves them too, but it still hurts a little

i walked her out of the mansion and i led her to my car, opening the door for her with a smile on my face

some of my older and younger brothers were in love with her and so was i. i would do anything for her and i'm sure the others would too

i would do anything to be by her side. to be her lover. the others would too

imagining a would without her pains me. it makes my heart twist in agony

the other guys were still slightly irritated that she gave blood to wonwoo and to be honest so was i

i know she also cares about us and she would also do anything for us

the event that took place a few weeks ago is clear evidence; when she let wonwoo drink from her

i know seungcheol had a back up plan, even though he didn't discuss it, i know what he had in mind if we couldn't find blood bags with the blood wonwoo needed

plan b still involved areum. the plan needed her to give her blood to wonwoo but in a different way. it would be a blood transfusion instead of letting wonwoo bite her

this way was better than what she did

this way there wasn't a chance that wonwoo would lose control and kill her. fortunately enough, he didn't. fortunately he didn't mortally hurt her and she was fine

but still there was a better way to help him and it didn't require her to put her life in the line

she shouldn't be this selfless

"is it far away?" she asked me as i drove out of the driveway, i glanced at her for a moment before looking back at the winding road, "it's not too far. we won't miss it" i assured her with a small smile on my face

it was around 6 o'clock, the sun is going to set in a few hours. i know that sana wanted it to be at sunset and tzuyu assured her that it was going to be at that time

i also love watching sunsets, but sunrises held a different meaning to me

back when i was still human, i remember seeing my older sister and wonwoo go watch the sunrises without me. i knew that wonwoo had feelings for her, even though he never outright said it to me. i watched how he fell deeper in love with her everyday. he always looked at her with pure love in his eyes

we were still young do the love was innocent and pure. it wasn't a love that could corrupt him from the inside out, it wasn't a love that he became obsessed with. he just adored her with his very being and he always looked at her like she was the only woman in the world

sunsets remind me of wonwoo's love for my sister

and that reminds me of his love for areum

in quite a few ways they're quite alike. areum is more timid than my sister, but they're still very much alike. she was strong and stubborn, i've never met a stronger woman than her. she took care of me and wonwoo when no one else would

i know it killed her inside when she forced herself to leave us behind. she had to escape the pervert that ran the orphanage, with or without us

i don't harbor any hard feelings because of her decision to flee. she did what she had to do to survive

and wonwoo and i understood her choice, even though it was hard to accept at first

"soonyoung? are you okay? you look deep in thought" she looked at me and chuckled a little nervous from what i could tell

"hm. oh. yeah, i'm fine. i was just thinking about my sister" i turned a corner as i spoke

"you've never told me your sisters name" she muttered as she looked out at the road ahead of us, she gently put the scarf over her shoulders to shield herself from the strong ac of the car

i turned the temperature of the air up and started speaking, "her name was yeji, she was a few years older than wonwoo and i, about three years" i recalled as i thought to the past

"and... wonwoo loved her" i smiled softly, "yeah..." i looked at her expression when she responded, "i know he hinted at it" she had a small smile on her face as she looked down at her fidgety hands

she had a smile on her face but her eyes looked a little sad, almost like she felt bad for him, for losing his love

"i guess it's what drew him to me" she looked at my eyes and i quickly looked away. i was caught staring at her, i chuckled a little out of embarrassment

"well, if he did it would be a little creepy" i looked back at the road, "how so?"

"the night you arrived at the mansion, he said to me that you reminded him of yeji. you were a baby then, so i don't think that's what drew him to you... i think he fell for you because of the way you are" i continued, "despite that fact that you're like her in a few ways, you're still to very different people. you're actually quite different"

i smiled softly as i spoke, "so don't look so sad, he loves you for you. as much as i dislike it, he does" i whispered the second part so she couldn't hear it

from the corner of my eye i could see a timid smile on her lips

"yeah yeah" she whispered underneath her breath, "are we almost there?" she muttered as she looked out the window, getting shy at my response, trying to change the subject

"yeah, don't you see the other cars parked on the side of the road?" i pointed out the window, "oh. i didn't even notice" she mumbled as she looked at her surroundings

she's so silly sometimes, almost awkward, i chuckled

we were in a narrow street that had cars parked either side of the street. all the parking spots were full so we were going to have to look for a place to park

"oh! there's a spot right there!" she pointed at an empty parking lot up the street, i quickly made my way to it and parked the car

when i looked over my shoulder to look at her expression, she looked like an excited puppy out for her first walk, i chuckled again

but my mind wandered to something more serious, the small smile on my face dripping and being replaced by a frown

"when we get in there, i know you'll be with me the entire time, but you should be careful. we only let all those vampires into the house on mingyu's birthday because we were there and watching you, taking care of you. but here there's going to be others that you don't know, and they might be dangerous. so, i need you to stay by my side the entire time" i explained to her, scared of what might happen in there

we only let all those people into our home because we trusted them enough and because we were also there to look out for her. even if kai was there, so were we. if he would have tried anything, we would have taken care of it. it didn't matter that the other people there wouldn't have helped us, they respected him and feared them too much, it wouldn't have mattered if we were the only people that would attack him if he touched a hair on her

it didn't matter because she was more important than anything else

she always will be

the moment we enter through the entrance of the park, i need her to stay by my side so i can protect her if anything happens

the vampires in there aren't all trust worthy

some of them can't control their bloodlust. it controls them

they aren't to be trusted

she nodded her head, almost a little scared

-areum's pov-

i always forget how intimidating he can be when he's being serious. i've only ever seen the best parts of him and that doesn't include this side

i understand that everyone had different sides to them. i learned that a long time ago. but it's still astounding to see different sides to people, because you feel like you already know a person without seeing each side of them

"i understand, soonyoung. i'll stay by your side the entire time

we both stepped out of the car and he walked to my side and held my arm in his

from a distance i could see beautiful, tall, redwood trees. it turns out the wedding was held in the forest

from the moment we walked through the entrance of the park, i could see people walking towards a wedding arc that we much deeper in the forest

as i looked at my side to see soonyoung's face, he had the same expression on his face as i did. we were both looking up at the tall trees in awe of their huge size

as we walked deeper into the forest we came to a clearing where all the other people were gathering. some sitting down, others catching up and talking to other people

there were redwood trees huddled together with a deck under it, most likely where they'll get married, and there were benches for people to sit on on either side, creating a walkway to the deck. there were flowers decorating the base of the trees

it was beautiful

i hope my wedding is this beautiful

wait...
