-나는 그들의 것, 그들은 내 꺼야-

the day went on as usual, ending with my last block and going to the parking lot for a moment to speak with seulgi about where we're going after school

"seulgi!" i ran up to her, she was speaking to some boys from the volleyball team, she turned around to look at me and smiled softly, "what time and where?" i was excited, my voice full of joy

"there are tickets for 6:30 at the movie theatre a few blocks from here, i'll be outside the movie theatre at 6:10" she explained, but then she turned back around to the guys she was talking to without letting me answer

i assumed they were talking about something important so i decided to go to where the guys were after i told her goodbye

she sometimes did that. she would be talking to some people and brush me off, i didn't mind it too much. she must have her reasons, i guess...

"seokmin!" i yelled as i ran towards him. he and chan were waiting for me, "areum!" he yelled back, he engulfed me into a bear hug, laughing at my strange antics

"c'mon, i want to get home, i'm tired" chan whined as he pulled me from seokmin, "fine fine"

we all entered the car, chan and i sitting at the back and seokmin sat in the drivers seat. jihoon had decided to join us, he seemed pissed off so i didn't want to ask why. he probably got into an argument with soonyoung or something

"what was the homework for english? i forgot" i sheepishly asked chan, "i have no idea" chan chuckled, "i don't pay attention to the teacher. i have no reason to" he chuckled, "then how do you have straight a's?" i mumbled with a confused expression

"i have my ways" he had a playful smirk on his face, i gave him a disgusted face, "i don't even want to imagine" i mumbled

"hey! you dirty minde-" he couldn't even complete his sentence when seokmin warned him, "don't you dare complete that sentence" he snarled at chan

i turned to look at them, jihoon's mood seemed to be getting worse. he looked at everything with anger, like he could destroy anything at any given moment, "shut your damn mouths" he said with gritted teeth, the others became the tense at his demand and they stopped talking creating a moment of silence

"jihoon, are you okay?" i mumbled

he looked at me through the mirror, his eyes were narrowed and blood red

"i'm fine" he stated. when he spoke i could see his canines coming through, they looked as sharp as knives, like they could devour anything and anyone

"o-okay" i stuttered

🌷

we all arrived at the house, seeing the cars of the others already parked outside and walking into the mansion

the atmosphere of the car coming into the house with us, jihoon's eyes still red with wrath

i looked down at the clock in the kitchen. it was currently 3:01, meaning i have about three hours to get ready to go out with seulgi. i smiled thinking of what fun we'll have together

i ran upstairs to go to my bedroom. as i ran through the house i could see all the guys in seungcheol's study room. jihoon was looking down at the ground with a scowl and the others were having a conversation i could distinguish. they were speaking in korean or any other language i know

brushing their suspicious conversation off, i went to my room and laid on the bed, relaxing for a moment

i let out a soft sigh, looking at my blank ceiling and thinking about how much my life has changed in a matter of a few months

they came back and then i found out they were vampires, vernon confesses and then the others also start to do the same. finding out i'm a reincarnation of the goddess of moonlight and mother of vampires. my life has become something out of a kdrama. the main difference is that this is real and it isn't as pretty as a kdrama

i still have no idea what to do. i don't know if i should pick one of them and make the other suffer, along with my heart, or to not choose and be with all of them, which sounds very unlikely and most likely some of them won't like it and they might think i'm a slut, or to not choose at all and live my own life and find someone else. but that would also make my heart suffer

i'm too selfish to choose something like this, i'm too selfish and too weak hearted to do this. i want them all but that probably won't go well with them and i can't choose because of how the others might react and i can't do that to them

there's a chance i might not even get to choose, i might turn into selene and go to kai, which i really don't want. turning into selene means forgetting my other memories and becoming a completely different person. i don't want to lose them, i don't want to lose my life. i like my life just the way it is, it's perfect to me

i let out a huff and sat up in my bed, looking around and looking at the view of la through the large windows

"i still haven't got a proper taste of la" i whispered

there was a knock at my door but the person entered before i could even say 'come in'

"what's up jihoon?" i asked him from my bed. he was looking around my room with an angry expression

"i don't like seulgi" he stated as his eye landed on me, i furrowed my brows in confusion, "what do you mean?"

"i mean i don't like her, there's something off about her" he snarled as he walked a bit closer to me, i backed up on my bed slightly when he looked like he wouldn't stop

"don't go with her tonight, stay at the house" he demanded, "w-what no! this is the first time i have an actual friend, i want to go out with her" i snapped back

"areum, i'm telling you there is something suspicious about her" he grabbed my wrist because i wouldn't stop backing up on the bed

his eyes were getting darker by the second, why is he being like this?

"jihoon, you're hurting me" his grip on my wrist was getting tighter and tighter, his expression was full of wrath and anger

but when he saw my pained expression he went soft for a moment, releasing me slightly, "w-what about her makes you think there's something wrong with her?" i said as i held my wrist, "i don't think she's really your friend, and i don't want you to go period" he explained

i was taken aback by his statement, why wouldn't she be my friends. she's always been kind to me and she's almost taken me under her wing

"what are you talking about?" i mumbled as anger rose inside me, "forget it" he snarled, letting go of my wrist harshly, "the only reason i'm letting you go is because jeonghan and chan are going" he stepped back

"why would you say that" i looked up at his eyes so that he could see the frown on my face, "because it's the truth" he paused for a moment, "look at the way she treats you when she's talking to the boys from the volleyball team or anyone for that matter"

he had a point, she would give quick answers and would sometimes pretend to not hear my question or comment when she's speaking to others. but i didn't want to believe what he was saying because she is the first person to show me real kindness

"jihoon-ah, please just let me have this day. let me have my first real teenage experience, please" i begged, "i don't care what you think, she is my friend" i said as i looked at his eyes, they were still red with anger

he growled for a moment and stormed out of my room, leaving me alone

i let out a small sigh, no longer as excited as i was to go with seulgi

i looked at the clock again, it was not 3:17. i got up from my bed and walked to the bathroom

i looked around the bathroom and then to the view from the windows, the side of the house i was on looked down to the skyline of la, meaning no one can see me that far away and because the mansion ended in a cliff, so i had massive windows; just as big as the ones in my bedroom

i turned on a coconut sand wood candle and ran a bubble bath for myself, letting the aroma of the candle relax my nerves and tone down my anger and confusion towards jihoon and vernon

yesterday he was being so kind...

i took off all the articles of clothing i had on and sank into the tub, allowing it to take away all my stress

i laid in the tub for about five minutes, cleaning my body with care. but i was interrupted when there was a knock at the door

"who is it?" "vernon" he said back, i let out a small huff. i don't want to see him, i pouted. "can i come in?" he asked from the other side of the door

"i'm in the bath tub" i said back, basically telling him no. but in his usual vernon style, doing whatever he wants, he waltzed into my bathroom

he looked around the bathroom, taking in the smell of the candle and closing his eyes for a moment before he looked at me

thank god for these bubbles!

"i wanted to talk to you" he was fidgeting with his hands, i instinctively covered my exposed body when he started walking closer

"w-what is it?" i stuttered out of nervousness, "don't worry, i won't look down if you don't want" he chuckled slightly when he saw me tense up

"i'm sorry for what i did to you, but you have to understand it wasn't to betray your trust" he sat down next tot he tub and looked at me with apologetic eyes

"sometimes saying sorry doesn't make everything better" i mumbled, looking away from him, "i know, that's why i wanted to ask; what can i do to make it up to you?" he spoke slowly and softly, being careful of his words

i sat there for a moment, thinking of how he would make it up to me. i knew what i wanted to ask but at the moment i didn't have the courage to say it

"i- i don't know how yet, but give me a while to think" he gently took my hand that was laying on my collarbone and he caressed it, looking at the ring they gave me the night i met kai

"i don't want you to be angry with me" he spoke, he smiled softly as he looked at the band, "i'll wait, don't worry. i have all eternity after all" he looked soft, the way he looked at my hands and back to me with such adoration
