Chapter 8- Awakening to Training Hell (part 1)
Oh my god did I have a f***ing headache. Not only that but I think I hear EunJung being frantic. What gives! I was only asleep for a day!
"Would you shut up already?" I yelled throwing a pillow to where I guessed EunJung was.
Apparently my guess was correct because I heard the sound of a thump as the pillow hit EunJung right in the face knocking her off the bed.
"But I didn't say anything!" EunJung whined rubbing the back of her head where she had hit it as she got back on the bed.
"Yes you did!" I looked at her like she had gone insane "You were going on and on about how I was awake and I'm going to kill the boys."
EunJung looked at me in surprise.
"But I only said that in my head…" She said slowly. Then EunJung got an idea "Wait what am I thinking about right now?"
I looked at her for a few seconds.
"Besides JaeJoong…" I then smiled and held back laughter and continued "You're thinking about how you're going to have to tell your husband how you tore one of his only 20 in the world, limited addition Hamtaro shorts."
"YOU DID WHAT?" JaeJoong yelled as he came bursting into my room in fury, with YooChun and the rest of the DBSK boys close behind him.
A few seconds later they were all in my room. The second the boys spotted me looks of relief and joy crossed their faces. I saw YooChun sigh then smile at me, I locked eyes with him for a few seconds before I looked somewhere else blushing.
"First of all, OH MY GOD! You can read minds!" EunJung exclaimed looking happily at me. Then she got off the bed to stand in front of a very angry JaeJoong and gently said "Honey, I'll buy you 5 more ok."
JaeJoong smiled and spoke in a sexy voice pulling EunJung close "6 more and a kiss then I'll let it slide."
EunJung laughed "Fine." Then she kissed JaeJoong passionately while me and the boys looked away from the scene.
I eventually drifted my eyes around the room till my eyes fell onto the boys and my eyes widened in surprise from what I saw.
"HOLY SH**T WHEN DID YOU GUYS GET TATTOOS?" I cried pointing at their left cheeks on their faces, where there was now a crescent moon with designs in it.
They were all the same red color except for YooChun's, which was blood red.
"Hey I have one too~" Jae whined pointing to his own left cheek on his face, where he had the same tattoo as the others. His was also red except it was a bit lighter then YooChun's like the rest of the boys.
YunHo hit JaeJoong on the head and scolded his friend "Hyung! This is not the time to be funny!"
"What tattoos?" EunJung asked confused "Baby did you get a new tattoo already?"
"The one on their freakning faces!" I told her pointing at their left cheeks.
"Honey, you won't be able to see them remember." JaeJoong reminded his wife.
"Wait…why can we see it…" I asked slowly as I waved my hands towards the boys and me "but she can't?" I asked pointing towards EunJung.
"Welllll…" JaeJoong started
"You see…" JunSu added
"About that…" ChangMin said right after JunSu
"Ummmm…" YunHo scratched the back of his head
"Uhhh…" YooChun rocked back and forth on the balls of his feet thinking.
"Oh for gods sakes! Do I have to tell her myself?" EunJung asked annoyed as she shook her head at the DBSK boys like they were idiots.
"Tell me what?" I asked curiously
EunJung turned to me and bluntly said "It's because I'm a human and you're now a vampire just like the boys."
"What?" I looked at her surprised not understanding what she had just said.
"It's like she said, she's the only human in this room right now." YooChun cut in finally saying something.
That's when I noticed the sharp canine teeth pointing out of his mouth as he spoke. I then looked over at ChangMin, then JaeJoong, then YunHo, and finally my grinning brother…they all had sharp canine teeth. I felt around in my mouth to find that there was something sharp where my teeth should have been.
I turned my head to look into the dresser mirror across from me and found that I had sharp canine teeth also…not only that but I had the same crescent moon on my left cheek of my face, and like YooChun's…it was blood red.
I was in shock for a few seconds then I remembered something…YooChun and Jae were rich and could have hired people to do this.
"Ha ha, nice try guys." I laughed sarcastically as everybody looked at me confused, but I ignored them and continued, "Now get those off your faces before your photoshoot. Which is in…" I checked the digital clock on my nightstand, which read 5:00pm. Wow I slept the whole day! I'm amazed JunSu didn't wake me up to go with them to their schedules.
"2 hours." I finished my sentence, and then I added looking at DBSK sternly "And take those teeth out. I don't remember it being a Halloween theme." I commanded
"But—" ChangMin started
But before he could say anything else I had already grabbed a very confused EunJung and dragged her towards the bathroom with me.
After about 5 minutes of me trying to scrub off my fake tattoo (that the boys probably put on me while I was asleep as a joke or something) and trying to take out my fake teeth…
"HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET THESE DAMN THINGS OFF!" I shouted frustrated as I continued to try to pull at the fake teeth, while EunJung scrubbed at my left cheek after me telling her where the tattoo was for two minutes.
"EunJung you can stop that now. You're only going to make her face redder, though it's nice for you to go along with this." A voice behind us said.
I looked up into the mirror to see YooChun leaning against the doorframe with arms crossed over his chest.
"Ok, what's the big idea? Why aren't they coming off?" I turned around and glared at my annoying husband before turning back around and continuing what I was previously doing.
"Because it's like EunJung noona and YooChun hyung said, we're vampires. Plus that's our clan symbol…so it doesn't come off, actually it can't come off." JunSu said as he popped his head into the bathroom.
"Clan symbol?" I turned around again to look at them confusion written all over my face.
"Yes we are part of the Netari clan the highest pure blooded nobles in the vampire race." YooChun said, but I could see that he was holding something back, but I just brushed it aside.
"Uh…ok, let me get this straight…" I walked towards my bed and sat on it, giving up on trying to take off my fake tattoo and teeth.
EunJung sat down next to me and YooChun and JunSu joined the rest of DBSK standing in front of the bed.
"So you're a vampire, you're a vampire, you're a vampire, you're a vampire, and you're a vampire." I said pointing to YunHo, then ChangMin, then JaeJoong, then JunSu, and finally YooChun.
The five of them nodded their heads.
"And I'm a vampire."
They nodded their heads again.
"But she's not." I pointed to EunJung as everybody nodded their heads again.
I looked at them for a few seconds then burst into laughter.
"Are you ok?" JunSu asked concerned on whether his sister had gone insane.
"What's so funny?" YunHo asked me worried about my mental state as well.
"I'm laughing…hahahaha…because…hahahaha…you guys…hahahaha…think your vampires…hahahaha." I managed to get out in between laughs
A few seconds later I managed to stop laughing, but the looks of confusion on their faces caused me to break into a new round of laughter again. After another minute of me dying of laughter to the point that I was crying I stopped and whipped the tears from my eyes.
"Alright I'm done." I said smiling putting my hand over my mouth to keep myself from bursting into another round of laughter.
"I guess we'll have to show her." YooChun sighed looking at YunHo.
"Hey! Don't look at me!" YunHo cried "I had to do it last time" he added in a whiney voice like he was a child being told to clean his room.
"Well that's because I needed to comfort JunSu." JaeJoong reminded his bandleader.
"I'm not doing it either! I just bought these close yesterday! I really don't want them shredded into pieces." JunSu added
"I do the cleanest cut." YooChun stated "So…"
The DBSK members looked at ChangMin at the same time.
ChangMin sighed and said "Fine, but you guys have to promise that you will put me back together right this time." He ethicized right, as he glared at his hyungs "I did not enjoy having my foot where my hand should be for 2 hours last time."
The DBSK members smiled at the memory.
"Aww but it was so funny." YunHo smiled innocently.
ChangMin used his Voldamin glare on the DBSK boys.
"Ok, ok, we promise! Now stop scaring us with your death glare!" JunSu almost shouted.
"What are you guys doing? A jigsaw puzzle of ChangMin? How is that supposed to convince me?" I laughed
"I just have to say one thing EunMi." YooChun looked at me ignoring my comment. "Don't freak out."
He then went to stand in front of ChangMin and flexed his fingers. All of a sudden black smoke surrounded his hand, and when the smoke cleared a few second later YooChun was holding a sword in his hand. (I don't know how to describe swords so here is a pretty picture for all of you. Aren't I the nicest narrator ever?)
YooChun swung the sword around in his hand playfully but at the same time very skillfully.
"This might hurt a little bit ChangMin." YooChun said
ChangMin closed his eyes, relaxed his body then said
"Ok I'm ready hyung."
YooChun nodded his head and raised his sword.
"Wait…" I said slowly starting to realize what YooChun was about to do to our maknae.
I got up off the bed to try and stop YooChun, but all of a sudden JaeJoong and JunSu blurred and appeared besides me. They grabbed onto an arm each and held them behind my back.
"Don't struggle EunMi. You need to see this." JaeJoong calmly said not letting me go.
YooChun then, right before my eyes, swung his sword at ChangMin at an amazingly fast speed, so fast that that he began to blur. When YooChun unblurred a few seconds later ChangMin fell to pieces on the floor. There wasn't any blood coming out of the wounds, YooChun had cut him into 5 pieces. ChangMin's head, arms, and legs were now separated from his body.
"WHAT THE F*** IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS! CHANGMIN! CHANGMIN! CHANGMIN-AH!" I was yelling while struggling to break free from JaeJoong and JunSu's vice grips and run towards ChangMin who I could only assume as dead now.
"Didn't YooChun hyung tell you not to freak out?" My younger brother sighed next to me unfazed by his best friend slicing up his band member with a sword.
Then all of a sudden ChangMin's decapitated head spoke.
"Are you going to do it yet hyung? I'm falling asleep here."
Then his eyes opened and he looked around.
"Oh…hyung! You said it was going to hurt! I was scared for no reason!" ChangMin's head shouted at YooChun.
"I just wanted to scare you a little." YooChun teased "Anyways it would only hurt if YunHo hyung sliced you up, he has the worst swordsmanship out of the 5 of us." He said pointing at YunHo.
"You want to go?" YunHo asked annoyed at YooChun as a sword appeared in his hand. (Me being the nice narrator again will just give you a picture)
"Fine but you know I'm the best with a sword in our clan." YooChun paused for a second then corrected himself "No actually vampire race."
YooChun then turned to YunHo and attacked him.
While this was going on I was still in shock, looking at ChangMin's head, which was still detached from the rest of his body, with a blank and shocked look on my face as ChangMin began to shout at his hyungs.
"Ya! Hyungs! Put me back together already!"
But YooChun and YunHo ignored him only hearing the clang of their swords as they collided with each other, too focused on their fight to hear ChangMin.
"HYUNGS!" ChangMin finally yelled louder ten seconds later, unable to take being ignored anymore.
"WHAT!" YooChun and YunHo yelled together as they both glared at ChangMin for interrupting their sword fight.
"Can you please put me back together…I think it will make EunMi noona more comfortable." ChangMin told them.
YooChun and YunHo looked over at me to find me still having not moved an inch from shock, only staring straight ahead unblinking. JaeJoong and JunSu had let go of me and were waving their hands and snapping their fingers in front of my face trying to get a response from me. EunJung continued to sit on the bed already bored from this scene.
After a few minutes of trying to snap me out of it, JaeJoong and JunSu gave up and went to help YooChun and YunHo but ChangMin's body back together.
A minute later ChangMin's body was reconstructed except for the head, which was being held by my brother.
"Hyung can you hand me my head?"
ChangMin's arms stretched out waiting for its head. JunSu walked over to ChangMin's body and gave it his head. ChangMin's arms took it from JunSu and put the head back on his neck where it should be.
"Ahhhh that feels better." ChangMin sighed as he cracked his neck and rolled his shoulders, seeing if everything was connected properly.
"What are we going to do about EunMi-ah?" EunJung asked seeing that even with ChangMin back in one piece I still hadn't moved an inch.
"I have an idea." ChangMin said
He then went and stood in front of me bent down till his eyes were level with mine and began to stare at me not blinking. After a few seconds of the stare off ChangMin made a face which caused me to blink from trying not to laugh.
"HA! You lose! You blinked!" ChangMin smiled happily putting up a victory sign with his hand.
"That's not fair! You made a face!" I whined finally snapping out of my shock.
"SHE'S ALIVE!" JaeJoong cried, saying it like Dr. Frankenstein when his monster came alive for the first time.
"Of course I'm alive! I was never dead." I turned and glared at Jae.
"Now that she's better I want food…what food should we get though..." I heard ChangMin say as he started to list off food he wanted.
"ChangMin-ah will you stop talking about food for like a minute?" I asked him, turning my head towards him to see a confused look on his face.
"But I didn't say anything EunMi noona…" He slowly said as the other boys nodded his head in agreement.
"Remember she can read minds people." EunJung reminded us like this was the most obvious thing in the world.
"But how come she came only read a few select things from our minds so far?" YunHo asked as his sword disappeared with the same black smoke it had come in.
"I think it's because she doesn't know how to control it fully yet" YooChun responded as his sword disappeared also.
"Ok I believe you guys are vampires now. But how do you know I am?" I asked the boys
YooChun pointed at my face
"That 'fake' tattoo on your cheek. It only appears after the transformation from human to vampire." YooChun put quotes around fake.
"So all vampires have these tattoos?" I asked looking at the tattoo again in the dresser mirror touching it with my hand now fascinated by the swirls and slashes in the crescent moon.
"Yes but not every vampire has the same tattoo." My husband informed me.
"Each vampire has a different tattoo coinciding with which clan they are in." Junsu cut in, "We are in the Netari clan which is the highest clan in the vampire race." He reminded me.
"Wait does that mean…" I began but was cut off as Jae cut in as spoke.
"Well that's enough questions for today! Time for the first test!" He cheerily said clapping his hands together.
"What? Test?" I looked at him confused.
This day is just full of confusion, and I only woke up 30 minutes ago! Then I remembered something important.
"Wait, you guys have a photoshoot today remember." I reminded the boys.
"No we don't" YunHo shook his head
"We already went…" JunSu began
"When? Did they reschedule for an earlier time?" I asked my brother.
"No, the time wasn't changed." JunSu looked uncomfortable like he didn't want to tell me something.
"Then why isn't there a photoshoot today and how have you already gone?" I asked getting agitated from not getting a straight answer.
"EunMi, you were out for 5 days." YooChun calmly said finally telling me what my brother was afraid to tell me.
"Normal vampires usually go through the transformation in 2 to 3 days. But you took 5…the only other person who took that long was…" JaeJoong paused looking at his members "But he only was out 3 and a half days." He continued not telling me who.
"Wait your saying I'm not a normal vampire!" I panicked worried that there was something already wrong with me.
"Well you weren't normal to begin with!" YunHo laughing at his own joke.
YooChun and JaeJoong, who were to the left and right of him, hit him on the head.
"Who was the one that said it's not the time to be funny a few minutes ago?" They chorused together.
"Sorry…" YunHo mumbled as he rubbed the back of his head while JunSu and ChangMin laughed at him.
"No don't worry since the transformation is the most dangerous part when your awake then everything is fine, now if you didn't wake up then we have a problem." JaeJoong answered washing the worry off my face.
"Now on to the test!" JunSu cried as he ran out of my room excited.
"What's so great about a test?" I mumbled following behind him and the rest of the people in my room.
20 minutes later
"Ok let me start by explaining what we are doing today." YooChun began as he, EunJung and the DBSK members stood across from me.
We were at JaeJoong's giant mansion out in the garden. Jae's mansion and garden were only about a little bit smaller then the house YooChun lived in when he was younger. It was a beautiful day outside, with clouds lazily moving across the light blue sky and the breeze softly blowing in our faces.
"Wait." EunJung stopped YooChun before he began.
"What?" YooChun looked over at her a questioning look on his face.
"Can I go inside? I don't need to be here right? The training is usually boring when you guys start off." EunJung asked him.
"Sure…but…" YooChun's stomach growled "Can you make us some food to eat." He flashed a smile that would make any fangirl faint.
"Fine." EunJung sighed as she began to walk towards her husband's mansion "Any request?" She stopped and turned around to ask the members.
"OH! CRAB! I WANT CRAB! And about anything else you can find in the kitchen!" ChangMin shouted excited.
"ChangMin's first and forever love…food. No wonder Cassies made the couple name MinFood." I sighed shaking my head, smiling a little.
"Good luck EunMi-ah! If the boys start to annoy you just come get me in the house." EunJung then threw up her hand and waved at us as she turned back around and walked toward the mansion again.
YooChun cleared his throat and spoke again
"As I was about to say. Today we are doing a speed test. We want to see how fast you can run around the garden once. Seeing as you're a newly transformed vampire we don't really expect you to go that fast. Each day you will go with each of use to learn something different." YooChun paused to make sure I was listening to him, seeing that I was he continued.
"JaeJoong will teach you about vampire history, our strengths, weakness, how to act around older vampires and so on. When you're with YunHo he will show you how to do hand to hand combat better then you know right now. JunSu will train you on how to be quicker, ChangMin will be the one to teach you how to control your mind reading better, and your powers when you discover them..."
I stopped YooChun and asked "Powers? What do you mean by power? How will I know which one is mine?"
"Yes powers. Each vampire posses a power, you will soon find out on your own." He said
"Alright…" I worriedly said "So what are you going to teach me?" I asked him remembering he still hadn't told me what he would be teaching me.
"I will be in charge on teaching not only how to summon your sword, but teaching you how to use it." YooChun answered
"Great! I can't wait to learn from you!" I sarcastically said
YooChun ignored me instead he turned to JunSu and said
"But first we have to do your speed test first." He then took out a stop watch. "Once around the garden will do, as usual."
JunSu nodded his head and got into a starting position.
"Ready…set…GO!" YooChun called starting the stopwatch
The second YooChun yelled Go there was a burst of wind and JunSu was gone.
"HYUNG! YOU CAN'T USE YOUR POWERS!" ChangMin yelled after JunSu. "HYUNG!...HYUNG!" ChangMin continued to yell.
"FINE GOD! I'LL STOP USING THEM!" I heard JunSu yell from somewhere in the garden.
Only about a minute later JunSu came crashing through one of the hedges behind us and stopped cleanly next to me.
"How long did I take?" JunSu asked panting a little.
"I didn't time it." YooChun told him showing the cleared stopwatch. "You used your powers so you have to go again." YooChun bluntly said
"But hyung~" My brother whined
"No you know the rules of the speed test. No. Powers." YooChun sternly looked at JunSu.
"Fine" My twin sighed in defeat as he got into starting position again.
"JunSu speed test take 2." ChangMin cheerily said closing a marker they used in movies.
"Maknae, what is this a movie all of a sudden?" YunHo gave ChangMin a weird face.
"Yep! I'm filming this!" ChangMin grinned
"What?" We all exclaimed.
"But you can't! This is top secret! Nobody can know we are vampires!" JaeJoong's face went pale.
"I was just kidding. You should have seen the looks on your faces!" ChangMin laughed pointing at our faces.
JaeJoong angrily went over to ChangMin and hit him on the head, which stopped his laughing instantly.
"YA! Dongsaeng don't scare me like that!" JunSu yelled at ChangMin as he stopped fixed his hair; he was more worried about his appearance then the exposure of the vampire race.
"Remember JunSu…no powers." YooChun told my brother as he held his finger over the start button again after seeing JunSu nod his head. "Ready…set…GO!"
JunSu raced into JaeJoong's garden again, but this time there was no burst of wind. This time around I could also see JunSu's blurred figure as he raced off deeper into the garden before he disappeared behind some trees.
"483KPH." YunHo shouted holding up one of those gun like things police have to make sure you aren't speeding while you're driving.
Hey you expect me to know that they're called? Not a chance. Wait…when did he even get that? Better question…where or how did he get that? But before I could ask YunHo I heard a crash again as JunSu came bursting through the same hedges a few seconds later.
He stopped next to me again and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his shirt sleeve.
"Time?" JunSu asked YooChun, still panting.
"5 minutes flat." Yoochun told him looking at his stopwatch.
"YES! I beat my last record by a minute!" JunSu cried happily punching the air, followed by a victory dance.
While JunSu continued to do his victory dance ChangMin turned to me and said
"Alright noona you're next."
"Alright here are the rules for the speed test." YooChun ignoring JunSu as well. "Since you have just awakened we want to test how fast you are now. For right now we'll give you 10 minutes to go around the garden once. As you get more training from JunSu you'll become quicker and be able to do the test in 4 to 5 minutes. We take the test every few months when we have the time but after 5 or 6 tests we don't take them any more. This was JunSu's last test and the other members have already finished theirs."
When YooChun finished he reset his stopwatch again.
"Ummm…soo…all I have to do is run around the garden under 10 minutes…" I asked for clarification.
YooChun nodded his head at me.
"And if I don't?"
"Your Super Junior life size poster that all the Super Junior members signed, and was given to you by KangIn and Leeteuk on your birthday, will be given to a very happy E.. So don't even think about not trying." YooChun threatened me.
"You wouldn't." I narrowed my eyes at him.
"I would and you know it."
"Damn it." I cursed knowing full well that he would.
I got into a starting position.
"Wait." JaeJoong told YooChun as he was about to start me off.
"What?" YooChun looked at his best friend.
JaeJoong pointed at my shoes that I was still wearing.
"Oh right." YooChun then turned back to me. "Take off your shoes. Since we don't know how fast you can go yet we don't want your shoes bursting into flames while you run."
"But JunSu ran with shoes." I pointed at the shoes my brother had been wearing since we had got here.
"Yes, but he has shoes especially made for high speed. You don't have a pair yet." YooChun then turned to JaeJoong "Which reminds me we need to call the shoe makers to make her a pair."
JaeJoong nodded his head as I grumbled and began to take off my socks and shoes.
"Alright are you ready?" YooChun asked as I got into starting position again.
"Yes, can we just start already?" I was getting a bit irritated at YooChun for delaying this for so long.
"Do your best noona." JunSu said with a fighting.
"Ready…set…GO!"
The second YooChun said Go I sprinted off into the garden.
As I ran through the garden I knew that the trees above and next to me and the grass bellow me should be blurry and unclear, because of the speed I was going, but instead I could see every petal on every flower, insect on every tree, and blade of grass as if I was leisurely taking a stroll through a park. I could feel the soft grass underneath my bare feet, could hear the sounds of animals that inhabited JaeJoong's exotic garden. A rabbit eating leaves, a pair of deer scurrying away, a lizard eating a nearby bug. I took in the smells, the air sweet with the smell of different flowers and trees, could taste the honey of a beehive nearby.
I took in my surroundings with new light and wonder as I gave a shout of delight, and as I continued to go farther and father into the garden I began to relax and with another shout of delight, began to pick up speed, pushing myself to go faster, enjoying the feeling of being so fast and free, and the wind blowing in my face whipping my hair back. But before I knew it, it was almost done as I spotted the boys waiting at the front of the garden, cheering me on. I smiled even though I was sad that this new experience was over, and with a burst of new speed I ran towards my friends.
"Woah! Noona stop!"
"YooChun catch her! I don't think she knows how to put on the brakes!"
"HOLY SH**! She started at 322 KPH, but now she's at 583 KPH! Those speeds are what a vampire gets to when they have trained for years!"
"ChangMin what was the time?"
"2 minutes!"
Then all of a sudden I crashed into something and fell to the ground on top of it, we slide across the ground till the moment I had built while running had stabilized as we finally came to a stop. It wasn't till we had completely stopped that I realized that my lips were on something soft.
I opened my eyes in and they widened in surprise as I saw YooChun underneath me, my lips pressed against his. The other boys surrounded us checking if we were ok, but it wasn't till they began to talk that I fully realized I was kissing someone…but not anyone…I was kissing YooChun!
I quickly rolled off of him onto the grass as the other boys began to fire statements and questions at me.
"Noona all you had to do to break is to stop running. Just like you normally would when you are running. Just stop your feet."
"No fair Noona~ You beat my time~"
"322 KPH…no 583 KPH! I can't even go that fast! EunMi-ah how can did you do that?"
"Umm guys…I think EunMi and YooChun have mentally passed out. But YooChun has a goofy grin on his face."
"Do I have to snap her out of it again?" ChangMin sighed as he went to stand in front of me and began to do another stare off.
While ChangMin did that JunSu went over to YooChun and began to try to shake him back to his senses.
"Hyung! Wake up! Ya, Hyung! Wake up! Snap out of it!" JunSu yelled at him as he continued to shake his best friend.
But me and YooChun continued to glaze at the blue sky above us unfazed by anything.
