Ah I forgot to ask EunHyuk when he’ll return my CD...I really need it back since I stole it from my cousin’s CD rack before leaving Seoul. He deserved it anyway for eating all my fish shaped biscuits back in kindergarten. Took him long enough to realise that one of this most prized possessions have suddenly disappeared off his shelf...
“I kind of...like-”
“DongHae? Yeah I know...JunSu told me.”
...What?
The phone fell out of my hands as my hold on it weakened, it made a fairly loud thump when it reached the floor. I panicked, scared that they’ll realise that I’m outside, scared that EunHyuk might come over and open this door in front of me, scared that I would have to reply EunHyuk upon his indirect confession...
Hurriedly I grabbed my phone off the floor and made a run for the stairs. And within seconds I was out of the house, blushing and confused.
How the fuck am I going to face EunHyuk tomorrow? Should I still see him as a friend and pretend that I didn’t hear anything or accept him as a hindrance to my future family orientated aspiration?
Of course I have to reject him if he ever directly confesses to me. I just have to. A gay couple can’t have kids.
For now I’ll just have to avoid...act cold until he no longer wants me. But just the idea of pushing him away hurts me deeply inside...
Why must this happen again?
[ Jung YunHo P.O.V. ]
I inhaled deeply then exhaled with my eyes closed upon my messy bed, trying to let out all the steam, the anger, the disgust that has stirred around inside me for the past couple of hours. I was growing tired, weary and frustrated, I couldn’t sleep without thinking that I somehow helped JaeJoong bed that girl months ago.
Took me long enough to remember.
That night in that club in Seoul, I approached JaeJoong thinking that he was a girl only to get scolded by him and finding out that he was a guy. I was just so persistent, I think a part of me wanted him or even fell for him when I first saw him without me realising; he was just so...enticing.
I took over that girl’s body, seduced JaeJoong with it only to get distracted half way by being told that Keita has been spotted, left and the girl probably woke up soon after. JaeJoong probably got pissed that I left him so suddenly that he went looking for me in that girl form, saw that girl coming out, took her by the hand and fucked her that night as punishment. He looked pretty damn horny that night too.
I don’t really know if I’m to blame really...he could’ve had a bit of self restraint. He looked like the player type as well back then; he probably fucked loads of women before her, why couldn’t he remember to use protection? Maybe he was too drunk, too heated, too needy. If only Keita didn’t appear that night...I would’ve been bedded by him, or to be exact me bedding him...wait I don’t know how that would work with me in girl form. Then again I could’ve turned back into vampire form to surprise him and fuck him there...
What am I talking about? It’s all in the past now, just thinking about it hurts my head.
A soft knock could be heard from the door of my room.
“Hyung-nim.” Hero’s muffled voice came straight after.
I turned my head to the side, “Come in.”
The door opened, Hero stepped in looking a bit perkier than before, “Where’s JaeJoong hyung?”
He was like a child asking for his mother.
“He’s not coming today,” I paused and turned my head away, “I don’t think he’ll ever come here again...I might have to forbid him...”
“What? Why?”
I ignored his questioning, “Can I ask you a question Hero?”
“Un.”
“Has JaeJoong ever...got a girl pregnant?”
“I don’t think so...there’s been girls that ‘claimed’ that JaeJoong impregnated them but they were all lies just to keep JaeJoong for their selfish selves.”
That’s good. At least he knew that condoms existed. But why did he have to forget on his last vaginal fuck? He must’ve been pretty wasted to forget...Though I swear he wasn’t drunk at all on the dance floor, maybe a bit tipsy, but certainly not drunk enough that he would forget to use protection.
“Why hyung?”
“Did JaeJoong carry protection with him every time he went clubbing?”
“Of course! Hyung isn’t an irresponsible guy!”
That made me feel slightly happier inside, so much that I grinned to myself against the pillow that held my chin up.
But I soon frowned, remembering that this certain girl claimed to be pregnant too...I mean her belly did look quite round, so she can’t be lying unless she had something underneath to create it...
I must find out.
“So what’s this about JaeJoong hyung not being able to come here ever again?”
“I was just joking.”
“Hmn...”
I heard him walk out of my room and then closed the door carefully behind me.
Quickly I searched for that mini black brick like thing that was in my pockets, flipped it open and hunted for the name ‘JaeJoong ‘on the small bright screen. I punched the call button and waited for him to pick up.
It was then that I realised that I had nothing to say to him. I was still undecided whether to forgive him or not.
I mean it was 2 in the morning now. I had done it out of impulse, my body wanted him, my ears wanted to hear his voice.
He picked up, “...Y-YunHo?”
My heart pounded and ached. He sounded so tired and croaky.
“YunHo!”
Shit, what the fuck do I say?!
And so I hung up.
I don’t know why but I still feel disgusted. It almost feels like he’s cheated on me.
[ 3rd Person P.O.V. ]
A gust of wind squeezed through the gaps of the cracked walls of the large dining hall in a castle.
The aging tables - long and covered with a velvet red table cloth on top, in columns before the throne.
Dusty curtains draped from rusty rods, all but one was shut, and the one that remain opened revealed the bright full moon in the dark navy sky.
Not a physical being sat in any of the empty chairs in front of the ancient tables. Not a dish was set with food on top. The area was...deserted.
This room, situated on one of the very top floors of the castle, was abandoned. Not one has set foot, let alone dined in centuries. For the owners did not require a dining hall to eat in.
The doors to the hall creaked open unwillingly for the first time in years. Almost a waterfall of dust fell as the door opened.
“LET ME GO!” a voice pleaded a small and fragile voice.
A dark and tall figure walked in after the dust settled. Dragging along with it was a smaller figure with long messy brown hair. Their once clean white shirt now worn from the hems, dirtied. Their leather boots ripped, soles with no grip. Nails chipped with dark brown gunk under them.
“YOU SAID YOU’LL LET ME LEAVE TONIGHT! SO LET ME LEAVE!” they screamed and struggled.
The other figure, cloaked and hooded, showing his bottom jaw and mouth that could be seen under the moonlight formed a sad smile.
“I will.” It spoke in a calmer voice despite being the strong one who had gripped onto the other’s hand so tightly all this time, “There’s always a condition for everything remember?”
The struggle ended. The smaller one just stared blankly at the one before them. They didn’t like the sound of this.
“Please,” the cloaked one’s other hand came over to grab smaller one’s other hand gently, “just for one night, make me feel alive.”
“I can’t.”
“We can.”
“No...”
“No one would know...”
“You’ll kill me afterwards won’t you?”
“You lost trust in me already?”
“Not when you’re like this!”
“Does it really matter?”
“Yes!”
A tear fell, “Then you leave me with no choice.”

SeolHwan’s eyes flew open in an instant. His body lay upon a grassy field on a hill in the outskirts of the village. The overgrown grass brushed against his bare arms that were in the process of healing under the influence of the calm winds.
He breathed in and out. Computing what he just saw through the mind of another.
“SeolHwan-nim!” someone called from the woods behind her, “SeolHwan-nim!”
He pushed himself up onto a sitting position, looking at the woods, waiting for that someone to appear.
“SeolHwan-nim!” Key emerged, panting, “I’m sorry I-”
SeolHwan cut him off, “I don’t think we need the keys to the documents anymore.”
Key cocked his head to the side in confusion, “We don’t?”
“No...”
“Why?”
The sound of crunching footsteps could be heart from the woods once again. Key flinched, not knowing who it was, while SeolHwan remained composed, already knowing who it was.
Seconds later MinHo and Onew emerged from the thick woods. MinHo had his arm around Onew, as if supporting him up while Onew limply walked forward with his head hung low.
“Aish, you guys almost gave me a heart attack! Why’s it always you?!” Key emphasized the very last word towards the sullen pixie.
“Leave him alone Key.” MinHo said in a tired voice as he set the shell like pixie on a nearby boulder.
SeolHwan rolled his eyes, already knowing what must’ve happened, “Give Onew a break already.”
Key hissed angrily, grinding his teeth, wishing that JongHyun was here to protect him. Sadly for him JongHyun was sent on another mission on the other side of the village and it was likely that he would spend all night doing it.
“Why are you all picking on me?!” Key spat.
Onew could feel the anger emitting from Key, he didn’t like, not because Key was angry at him but because Key wasn’t happy.
“I’ll head back...” Onew mumbled before hoisting himself up, walked slowly over to the side and shrunk himself into a small white ball of light before flying off into the night sky.
MinHo looked over at Key disappointedly, “I’ll go follow him encase he plans to commit suicide.”
And in an instant MinHo too shrunk into a small ball of light, only this time he was glowing in an ominous purple. Leaving SeolHwan and Key behind.
Key took a step away from SeolHwan and sighed, “I might as well turn in too-”
“No wait.”
“What?” Key groaned as he turned to face SeolHwan again only to flinch a little, “Why have your eyes gone brown?”
SeolHwan froze and looked away for a moment nervously before gaining composure.
“Never mind about that.” He rose from the floor, “Why don’t you just give Onew a chance?”
“I thought you were smart SeolHwan-nim, after all you are ‘that’ kind of a being. But can’t you see pixies and fairies don’t mix?”
“Onew’s working hard to get into fairy rank.”
“I don’t care he would still be a pixie at heart.”
SeolHwan took a step closer towards Key, his eyes narrowed, his frame looming, “Do you realise that you’re talking to a superior?”
Key backed away a bit; he felt shivers down the back of his spine as he felt a sharp cold breeze waft past. He knew it was SeolHwan’s manipulative doing, but he couldn’t control the growing fear inside of him, he was instantly reminded the power that SeolHwan had over him and the rest.
“I-I’ll think about.” Key squeaked.
SeolHwan smirked, “Good.”
The prince took a step back, turned and began to walk off, only to stop after a few steps to turn back and look at Key, giving him his last words for the night, “Oh and change of plans,” his voice became grave, “the target has awakened.”
[ Kim JaeJoong P.O.V. ]
He’s not here again...why the fuck did he call me last night? I couldn’t sleep at all after that. I kept trying to call him but he wouldn’t answer. So I thought that maybe he would call me later, apologising...then again it wasn’t possible, why would he be the one apologising, shouldn’t I be the one to apologise for impregnating a girl..?
I sighed, looked back and saw the seat behind me was empty; SeolHwan wasn’t here, thank God. Less pressure for me this morning.
Though even if that girl didn’t turn up I doubt YunHo would’ve shown up either. It seems like he’s going to be in that human form for a while...
...What? I just have a strong feeling that he will. Human instinct!
“Morning.”
I jerked against the desk that I was lying upon.
It was him and his voice that can send daggers of ice to the ears and spine as he speaks.
I can feel the angst and pressure begin...
What a wonderful start to the day. I feel like shit because I’ve been told that I got a girl pregnant yesterday and been in regret for the past 12 hours, my lover fled from disgust, my father fainted and now I have the freak on my back. Well, staring at my back all lesson.
Damn, why didn’t I tell YunHo this yesterday? Before we even got to my house! It would’ve acted as the best incentive for him to come to class and beat the crap out of SeolHwan for even looking at me.
During break time EunHyuk had approached me. He looked worried, nervous and scared. I noticed that his fingers were fidgeting and he often shuffled his feet. There was something wrong. And I was instantly informed of the issue when EunHyuk grabbed my arm and led me out of the class.
“DongHae’s been avoiding me all morning. He left for school earlier than me today; he switched desks with a vampire, he hasn’t even made eye contact with me! Do I have a giant pimple somewhere or what?!”
“No you-”
EunHyuk suddenly gasped in horror, “Maybe he heard about that ‘talk’ yesterday. No wonder I heard a thump outside!”
I tried to calm the almost hyperventilating EunHyuk down, “You’re thinking too much.”
It was then that I noticed something odd from the corner of my eyes. We were walking under a roofed path with pillars on the sides. I could see the two large grassy playing fields from here on both sides.
But it was the left side that I actually noticed something strange...
“Am not! I swear-”
“Something’s going on over there.” I spoke without thinking.
EunHyuk looked over to where my eyes looked, he frowned, “I don’t see anything.”
Maybe it’s because I was somewhat special enough to see through an illusionary barrier. But what I could see was SeolHwan being cornered by a guy who was far taller and stronger looking than him.
