Vampire Singer Chapter 3
"Wait, wait, I need more food!"
Henry dashed over to the kitchen table, where he grabbed a nearby knife and started chopping up apples into small pieces.
"Henry, is there anything that you DON'T eat?!"
Henry was able to launch into an entire list of things that he can't eat if it wasn't for HanKyung who stopped him before he could open his mouth.
"No, don't answer that question."
I was in the middle of answering some questions that HanKyung, Ryeowook and Henry had floating in their minds. The other members were at the other Super Junior dormitory. Henry had somehow managed to finish his mountain pile of fruit and was gathering more of his supplies in the kitchen. I just simply watch in awe as the young and skinny boy pile apple piece upon apple piece onto the plate.
I wonder what his food bill is…
"OW!"
Everybody turned around and I stiffened. A particular smell that I knew all too well was wafting through the air. Henry had unfortunately cut himself with the small knife and his hand was slowly leaking out pure red blood. HanKyung and Ryeowook immediately rushed over. Judging by the strong-ness of the smell, I could tell that the cut was pretty big or deep, because the smell was simply over powering and meant that there was a lot of blood.
I stayed where I was; I couldn't move because I had the urge to run at Henry, but instead of helping him, I knew I would lose control once I was too close, then my life would be over. His blood was seriously leaking onto the table bench. My fists scrunched up until my nails were digging into my flesh. My eyes; I could feel them changing into a dark red colour. I was angry, angry with myself for wanting to suck the blood of a fellow SM artist.
"Sakura, could you pass me that towel over there?"
HanKyung had pointed behind him, but didn't turn around. I didn't move.
"Sakura?" he said, after a while of silence.
He turned around and evidently received a shock. For sure he had noticed my eyes and the way my hands were scrunched up into fists. Ryeowook, who was tending to Henry, who was about to cry, turned around to see what the fuss was about and why it took so long to get the towel.
"Sakura?" HanKyung said again.
"She probably gets weak at the sight of blood. Maybe you should take her back to her apartment. I can deal with Henry," said Ryeowook and grabbed the nearby towel.
HanKyung started to walk towards me but by instincts, I took a step back. At first, I didn't understand why my body had taken such a move, but when I looked down at his hand, I knew why. His hand was bloodied with the blood of Henry when he had tried to stop the blood.
"HanKyung…"
"Sakura, what's wrong? Let's go outside."
And he reached out and touched me on the hand, smearing some of Henry's blood accidentally.
No!
Without anything else to do, I bolted out of the door before HanKyung could get any closer to me. Once I got out of the door, I knew he had made a move because I heard the door slam open again when I fled down the stairs, heading straight back to my apartment. Subconsciously, I licked away the blood on my hand.
*~*
Did she just…? HanKyung thought.
*~*
I locked myself in my apartment; I could still hear HanKyung's footsteps thumping down the stairs before he got to my door.
"Sakura! Are you alright?!"
"I'm fine…" I mumbled back.
He knew I wouldn't open the door. After a while of his presence, of the smell of blood that lingered from his hand, he left.
Why me…? Why was I chosen to become the vampire…?Doushite, okaasan…
The mobile phone that was in my pocket vibrated. It was a call but it wasn't from HanKyung. It was from my manager, SeungHwan.
"Yobosaeyo?"
"Sakura, could you come to my office for a moment? I need to talk to you about your first pre-debut appearance."
"Um…okay…"
It would take me 20 minutes by foot to walk to the building, if it wasn't for the taxi already waiting for me outside my apartment. Sure that HanKyung and the others weren't going to come down any moment, I grabbed everything I needed and dashed downstairs.
*~*
Knock, knock!
"Come in."
I turned the knob and let myself in; my manager was sitting down on his chair behind the desk like before. On his walls were various framed photos of Super Junior M. It was obvious that he loved them like a father very much. He was like their guardian.
Would he be my guardian from now on…?
"Sit down, sit down."
His voice had a nice tone to it, a tone that I could trust; a tone you would hear from a kind uncle perhaps. I seated myself slowly onto the velvet chairs.
"Lee Soo Man has decided that he wants to expose you to various aspects of the entertainment industry and the public before you make your debut. Even without training, he wants to see what you are capable of doing on your own."
I simply nodded.
Was this a test that SM had set up?
"Your first task is simple: Act in a music video. With this public exposure, I'm sure people will be looking forward to your various other minor activities. These activities will be mixed in with your day-to-day training so it will be quite packed. This music video will have a similar storyline to Dong Bang Shin Ki's "Lovin' You" although it won't be as passionate and lovely."
All this information was vital to my debut, wasn't it?
"You will be acting as a girl who broke up with her boyfriend many years ago but knows that she still loves him. Your part will be quite minor because the song is from a guy's perspective so a guy will be the main character instead and the story told from his point of view. In the end, the guy and girl will meet up back at the place where they left many years ago."
It sounds very lovely and passionate to me…
"Sir, what is the song that the music video is for?"
He looked up at me and smiled.
"It's your friends', Super Junior M's "This Moment".
