-나는 그들의 것, 그들은 내 꺼야-

we all arrived at a latin grill, it looked full from the outside and the people seemed very lively. the aroma of the food made my mouth water

it smelled like smoked meat and alcohol, i cringed at the pungent smelled it

jeonghan took my hand and started walking to the host, telling him it was for three people and directing us to a nearby table

i looked around the restaurant, seeing loud hispanic men laughing and drinking beer with their family, a little envy rose in me

my mind going back to what happened previously in the car and how chan helped me out and what jeonghan wanted to talk about

but before i could get too deep into my thoughts a waitress came over

"hola, soy maria yo voy a ser su camarera por hoy" (hello, i'm maria and i'll be ur waitress for today) she smiled brightly, her smile just as beautiful as her. i was captivated with her

"¿que les puedo servir hoy?" (what would you like?) she asked as she brought out her notepad, i was surprised i could understand her well. my spanish was rusty, being because i've never used it before with someone face to face, before it was always through a video chat or text, but by some miracle i managed

i hope i don't mess up, my palms were getting sweaty

"¿p-podemos coger un m-momento para ver el menu?" (can we have a moment to look at the menu?) my voice was shaky because of my nerves but i still managed

"por supuesto, tomen todo el tiempo que necesiten" (well of course, take as much time as you need) she smiled again, giving me butterflies in my stomach

we all reviewed the menu again

as they were talking about what they wanted i kept looking at the direction the waitress walked away, she is stunning (a/n it's pride month so whatever, we love people of the alphabet mafia in this household, i call it alphabet mafia because yes. i myself somewhat identify with one of the terms, but not really. i don't know how to explain it, but i know i'm attracted to certain women and a crap ton of men. edit: i'm a raging bisexual:] finally figured it out) her mocha colored skin and her dark curly hair were enchanting. her skin was smooth and her hair moved from side to side when she walked

i blushed a little

"areum, what would you like?" chan asked as he sat across from me, "o-oh, i'll have the chicken fajitas" i said, flustered when his voice drew me out of my thoughts

i turned to look at jeonghan who was sitting beside me, he was smirking, "w-what?" i muttered in confusion, "i saw you staring. don't worry i won't say anything" he teased, "areum, your spanish has gotten good" chan praised me

"thanks" i had a small embarrassed smile on my face, "since when do you know spanish?" jeonghan asked as he placed his arm around me, "joshua a-and seokmin helped me learn it, they were very helpful when i was first trying to understand the pronunciations but it's different when you're speaking to a native speaker. i wasn't sure i was going to understand the woman" i muttered the last part

"excuse me! we're ready to order" jeonghan said in english, calling over the woman, she came bouncing with each step she took. "what would you like?" her voice was beautiful when she spoke in english, she had a spanish accent that went along with her breathtaking looks

"she'll have the chicken fajitas, he'll have a churrasco and i'll have the same as him, and we'll all have water, but can i also get a margarita?" jeonghan said with charisma pouring out of him and a smug smile

"would you like them medium rare?" she said as she wrote it down on her notepad, "yes, thank you" he smiled

"i can see why you're attracted to her" he whispered in my ear, tickling it in the process and making me blush as well

"okay, your order will be here in ten to twenty minutes" she walked away but not before she shined her amazing smile

"today's going to be a long day" i whispered

"oh come on don't think of it that way" jeonghan said, almost complaining that i too was complaining

"guys i'm gonna go tot he bathroom" chan stood up and walked away

"can i ask you something?" i turned to han, "sure, anything" i paused for a moment, "what did wonwoo mean when he said their's no blood for him?" i mumbled

what he said had sparked curiosity, making me want to know what he meant, like: does blood taste different depending on the type? is it something similar to virgin blood? was it because he needs a specific type or just because he likes a specific type?

he looked like he was thinking about his answer before he responded, like he was in deep thought as he looked at my eyes, "wonwoo is a weird case, he can drink regular blood just like any vampire but specific blood makes him more powerful, so he likes that blood the best. he liked AB negative blood, but it's rare to find so we're almost always on short supply. does that answer your question?" he spoke in a calm voice but there was a hint of boredom in it, like he's explained it many times before

his reply did answer everything, but something that he said stunned me, he likes AB negative? that's the blood i have

"is it the same for you guys?" "no, like i said he's a special case" he laid back on his seat with his arm still around my shoulder

-wonwoo's pov-

i chuckled as she ran out the house with chan in a flustered state, jeonghan burst out laughing, his eyes crinkled and his mouth open

when he stopped he let out a small sigh, "i should go" "yeah, hurry up" i grumbled, placing my hand over my eyes

in a moment he disappears but i heard the door open and close meaning he left using his quick speed. i let out a heavy sigh, my bloodlust is slowly making me crazy

when i was in my youth, when we had first become vampires, i found out that certain people's blood made me stronger and others would have a bad taste, i didn't find out until 1927 that it was because only AB negative blood made me stronger

the others didn't experience anything like that so it was only me and over time after the discovery of different blood types i started only drinking AB negative and stopped the consumption of the others and as time passed i grew an intolerance for other blood. the rarity of the blood makes it hard to find and when i go two weeks without it, i tend to start going crazy. it's been a week and a half and right now we can't find it... areum's blood is getting tempting to take. but i could never do that to her

"what are you thinking about?" mingyu walked into the room and sat across from me, "hm?" i hummed, "your eyes are red" he pointed at my eyes

"haven't had blood in a while" i mumbled, "don't worry we'll go to a hospital tomorrow, we'll get what we need" he ran his fingers through his hair

"yeah"

-jeonghan's pov-

i leaned my head on her shoulder, i could smell her sweet perfume, she's always been like a drug to me. always so intoxicating, "you smell good" i whispered, i felt her tense up for a moment, "t-thanks" she stuttered

"you guys sure are cozy" chan sat down across from us, "shut up" i pouted and looked the other way

maria finally came with our food after fifteen minutes, "here is your food, hope everything is to your liking" she smiled, she must really want a tip, i thought

"gracias" i said, returning her smile, "let's dig in" i spoke in korean this time, "thanks for the food" areum said as she stared at the food, she looks like she'll start drooling and so does chan, i chuckled

-5:57-

we stayed at the restaurant for a while, after we finished one dish we ordered another and then another. that sequence repeated until we were so full we couldn't eat anymore. i turned to look at areum and she looked so happy. she's always loved food, even when she was young. it was the one thing that would keep her from crying. i chuckled at the thought

"we're ready for the bill" i said to the waitress as she was walking by, she told us to wait for a moment, that she'll be right over, "when's the movie?" chan asked as he looked at the watch on his wrist, "6:30. what time is it?" areum asked as she looked at him

"it's 5:58, we should go as soon as we pay" i laid back on my seat

i looked around the restaurant, there were people laughing loudly and the men at the bar were complaining about the football game (soccer) on the screen as they drank from their beer. i don't general like the taste of beer so i cringed at the thought

the scene reminds me of years before, when we went to a similar place in the 80s. we met the most beautiful women and the most lively men. we had a blast, those times were fun, the good times

where i had a great and beautiful romances, but everything beautiful must always come to an end. in the end they died, and all of disease...

but areum is different, she isn't just another love. i want to spend eternity with her, she's become my everything. after we got her, it took me mere seconds to always want her by my side

it broke my heart that i had to leave. to leave her behind...
