Chap 7: A kiss
Yi Jung is staring at the small figure of the girl lying on the bed, heaving deep sighs. Even though she was sleeping, he could see the lines of distress illuminating in her beautiful face; she was restless. Who wouldn't be? After the ordeal she's been through, she was fortunate she didn't snapped. First, vampires targeting her due to her involvement with him, second her life is ruin because she could never find peace again not until this madness is over and lastly her brother's death. It was indeed too much. Too much to bear for a simple human like her. But she is tough. In fact he admired her ever since he saw at the bar. She is a very beautiful woman, talented, charming and most of all feisty. The type of girl he finds very attractive. He folds his arms across his chest and surveys her from head to toe. Her jeans were raggedy and torn, her bartender uniform, a white polo shirt is full of dirt and stain. He sighs, thinking about cleaning her up but also contemplating whether it's a good or bad thing to do. But no matter what the consequences of his actions, he'll manage because it's the least he could do for her. The least he could do to ease her pain. He searched for the drawers and closet inside the small bedroom until he found clothes. He went inside the bathroom, grabbing a bunch of towels, shower gels and a bucket full of water.
After he cleaned her up, he was relieved. He admits that without his vampire strength and abilities, he couldn't have done the latter without opening his eyes. He marvels at her beauty, she looks good in a yellow shirt and white shorts. He swallowed hard as he gazes at her long legs. He couldn't stop himself from moving closer to her. He glided towards her and sat next to her, caressing her face, lingering in her cheeks and her lips. He inhales her natural scent. She smells so good. Yi Jung can feel his body reacting to her scent, he quietly hissed as he felt his fangs sliding down his teeth. She made a sound, a faint mumble between moans, he moves his face closer to hers and suddenly she stirs. And the moment she did, Yi Jung's eyes widen in shocked as their lips momentarily touches. The touch sends electrical impulses in his body as it jerks from shock. The feeling is strange, yet somehow comforting and warm. He tastes strawberry in her lips and it made him ecstatic. It was so overwhelming and gratifying that it surpassed the taste of blood in his system.
"Yi Jung" She mumbles in her sleep and Yi Jung surprisingly pulled away from her. Did she just mention his name while they kissed? What is this feeling boiling inside of him? His heart started to hammers wildly that he had to clutch it with his hand. "Yi Jung?" She groggily asks, rubbing her eyes. She is awake and he has to compose himself. "Hi, sleep well?" He beams at her, feeling stupid. She nods at him and sniffs; trying to stifle a cry. "Ga eul …" He held her close, trying to ease her pain. She cried in his arms as he caresses her silky hair. He slowly tilts her face up, wiping the tears in her eyes. She stares at his golden eyes, which displays sadness. His hand lingers on her jaw, as his thumb caresses it tenderly. She didn't budge instead she remain still; lose in trance just by looking in his eyes. She inhales his scent, an alluring scent she's starting to get addicted too. She felt his breathing closer to her face. His face slowly descending and Ga eul automatically closes her eyes. He kisses her, slowly, passionately. His lips coaxing her own; stimulating her to kiss him back. She did, tenderly, lovingly. It felt like she was floating in the sky, it was a new feeling to her. 25 years of her life and she's never been kissed this way, it felt so heavenly, it was so warm and comforting, it gives her strength, and it gives her the will to carry on. Somehow, the pain that's been lingering in her was slowly replaced with warmness. Their lips moves, their tongue collides with each other, drowning in the pleasure both never before have experience. The kiss they shared made YI Jung unaware that his powers were soaring high into his very soul. As they hold onto each other, both didn't realize that they were hovering up in the air, eyes were shut, oblivious to the world, not until someone opens the door and gasps in shocked that both Yi Jung and Ga eul broke their trance and fell onto the bed.

Flashback: 7 years ago
"Mom, Dad, what's going on?" JiHoo was terrified from the shrieking cry of an unknown creature howling on their front yard. "Son, stay with your sister, lock the doors and don't even come out." His father ordered. "But dad!" Ji Hoo complains. "JiHoo, please do what your father says. Stay with Ga eul, your sister is terrified right now." His mother embraced him tightly and kissed him in the cheek. He runs upstairs while taking a glance at his parents' figure walking outside. He headed towards his sister room, where Ga eul was quivering underneath the sheets. "Ga eul, listen I need you to lock the doors and wait for me to come and get you okay?" Ji Hoo instructed his sister while wrapping the sheets around her tightly. "But brother, where are you going? Where's mom and dad?" Ga eul cries. "It's okay, just stay here, I'll go check on mom and dad."
"But JiHoo!" Ga eul held his hand and Ji Hoo smiled at her then kissed her forehead. "Everything will be alright."
He skidded downstairs and grabs his father's shotgun before running outside. It was so dark that the only light illuminating the forest was coming from the moon. He widens his senses, listening to any movements or sound when he heard a familiar voice, screaming in the middle of the forest; it was his mother. He doubled his effort hoping to get there on time to save his parents. "MOM! DAD!" He screams as hard as he could while running with all his might. When he reached them, it was too late. He saw his father's lifeless body cut in the gut, bleeding to death. His mother was viciously devoured by a crouched monster, a creature that was like half human, and half bats. The scene presented in front of him was too horrifying that JiHoo quivered in shocked. His eyes widen in disbelief as the tears in his eyes started to flow. "MOM!" He screams on the top of his lungs, cocking the shotgun in his hand and firing straight at the creature. "GET AWAY FROM HER!" He commanded. The monster managed to leap towards the trees and he immediately attends to his dying mother. "Mom …" He cries. "Mom, dad …" He utters. "Ji .. Hoo .. take .. care .. of .. Ga eul." His mother caresses his face while trying to double her breathing. "Mom please don't .." He sobs. "Son, don't cry.. " He couldn't believe what was happening. His mother made the last request as she tries to fight for her dear life. He carefully carried her mangled body few feet towards his father. He slowly laid her down until they were next to each other and before he can say anything; his mother finally drew out her last breath, smiling at him. And before he can react, he heard the most painful scream that hunted him for the rest of his life. It was the shaking voice of his sister. He stands up and meets her half way "Ji Hoo, what's going on?" She panics. He immediately blocks his sister's view but no matter how hard he tries, he couldn't hide the disturbing reality. He cries while embracing his sister, pushing her back to shield her. "LET GO JI HOO! LET GO!" She screams until she pushed him and run towards her parents.
His back was still away from the horrible sight as he cries when suddenly Ga eul screams in fright. He instantly turns to see the creature that killed his parents hanging on top of a tree staring at his sister. Ji Hoo immediately grabs Ga eul and urges her to run. They both run for their lives as the creature went after them. Ji hoo knew the creature was after Ga eul so he needed to divert its attention to him giving his sister the time to run back inside the house. And when the creature was close enough to Ga eul, he shot it. It groans in pain and turn towards him just as he plans to. He doubled his efforts away from the house, assuming the monster will come after him. It did and when he accidentally tripped, it landed on top of him. It attacked him; slashing his body with its own hands, Ji Hoo screamed for his life, the extreme pain soaring through his entire being. He's ready for it. He knew he was going to die. And just when he thought all hope was gone, suddenly a girl wearing a white gown appears in front of him, slowly gliding towards him, a blinding light illuminates around as he felt an immense power coming down towards him. The creature whimpers in pain, scared of the girl whose eyes were bloodlust red, with black veins all over her face. She was a vampire. He stared at the frighten creature, who's figure was slowly fading away until it turns to dust. Jihoo furrowed his eyebrows as he tries to fight the urge to lose consciousness. He wanted to see the face of his savior one last time before he dies. The girl sat in front of him, and gave him a sad smile. She looks so familiar. He couldn't grasps where had he seen her but .. he thought when suddenly it hit him. She was the girl, who saved him, back when he was still 10 years old. She's back. It was her. He tried his best to say something but he couldn't. She gave him a peck on the lips and places her palms on his chest. He felt her intense power rushing through his veins as he felt his flesh rejuvenating. His body vibrated, his vision becoming blurry, but before he totally lost consciousness, he saw her beautiful face.

She was again on top of him, for the second time around in less than 24 hours. Fate seems to play apart in this as Woo bin found himself pinned to the ground again, his glasses toss aside, a few feet away from him. "Opps … sorry!" Jae kyung beams at him while Woo bin sighs, clicking his tongue out of irritation as he felt the bumped in his head. "This is the second time that you jumped on me; are you trying to kill me?" Woo bin queried while Jae kyung giggled. "No Sir," She replied. "I just find you very attractive, that's all!" She continues to tease him while caressing his arms. Woo bin blushed and sighs. "Are we going or do you want to stay like this until they catch us?" Woo bin sarcastically spoke while raising an eyebrows. Jae kyung laughs and help him to stand up. She picks up his glasses and scrutinized it. "What you've never seen a reading glasses?" He asks. "Why do you wear them?" She exams it and puts it on. "I have too; otherwise I can't see very clearly, can i?" Woo bin wipes the dirt in his jeans. "Hmm.. that's a pity because I find you very handsome and sexy without it." Her flattery was getting into him as Woo bin blushed again for a hundredth time. "Well, I guess I have no choice but to be ugly for the rest of my life." Woo bin justifies. "I see, what happens if you lost it?" Jae kyung tried to tease him. "Well then I'm as good as dead." He held out his hand for her to give it to him. "I am sure you'll be fine." She deviously smiles at him. "No, I won't! Now hand it over." He looks at her while Jae kyung was playing with it, tossing it in the air. "Jae, I'm not playing with you, give it back to me." She laughs. "And what if I don't! What are you going to do?" She tossed it again in the air and catches it briefly. "I am … I am… " Woo bin stuttered remembering what had transpired earlier. "What?" Jae kyung demanded. "I am going to … to … to kissed you .. " He said.
Taken aback from his choosen words, Jae kyung inwardly smiled. "Oh really?" She questions. "You're lying; I don't think you have the courage to do that." She teases him furthermore, hoping he'll take the bait. "And what made you say that?" Woo bin retaliated, enjoying their taunts. "Because when I kissed you before I took a shower, you didn't kiss me back." She proudly answers. "Was that a kissed?" Woo bin deviously laughs. "Oh I am sorry; I didn't know that was a kiss for vampires." Woo bin decided to play, if that's what she wants, he's going to give it to her. "Oh, so the nerdy, Mr. big glasses Song, Woo bin has a sense of humor." Jae kyung laughs, placing her hand on her hips. "For your information, Mr. Song, Woo bin, I was simply testing you. For all I know you could be a homo" Woo bin was shocked from her chosen words, there is no way, he's going to allow her to insult him like that. Damn, he's falling for her tricks. "Try me." Woo bin dared, a glint of seriousness shown in his face. "I guess I should." Jae kyung confidently spoke and instantly, she opens her hand, his glasses on top of her palms. He stares at it and without blinking, he saw her crushed it with her own hand. His eyes widens in shocked as he realize she just destroyed it. "Urgh! What the heck did you just do?" Woo bin mutters, couldn't believe what just happen. He groans desperately until in a split of second Jae kyung was instantly right in front of him, wrapping her arms around his neck. She was staring at him admiring his every feature. He was astonished but somehow he couldn't help but stare back into her golden eyes. Those eyes that was so alluring and captivating. He gulped hard. She smiles at him and Woo bin froze as she slowly lowers her face towards his.

She jolted up, curious as to why she was lying on the bed. Her eyes roam around the small bedroom, searching for answers when she saw him pacing back and forth. "JunPyo?" She called out his name. He immediately approaches her, apologizing at the same time. She knew why he did it. As a matter fact, she was glad he did because after everything she's been through, she'll snap. "Jandi, there is something I have to tell you." Junpyo sat next to her while holding her tight. She scrutinized his expression and listens. "It's JiHoo." He started. He shook his head and sigh before looking up to her. "He's … one of us now" He says.
"What? .." Jandi instantly stood up, shock about the news. "… But why…" She incoherently asks.
"It's because of Seo Jin's wish and most of especially JiHoo's." Junpyo stated. "What do you mean?" She inquired.
He sighs before explaining everything to her, contemplating on how to make her understand. "Seo Jin loved your best friend long before he was born in this lifetime. He was her destined mate. He belongs to her as much as she belongs to him. They were destined to be with each other, brought by fate and time. He was her only soul mate. The only man she ever loved. Back then Seo Jin didn't have the courage to fight for her love to him, JiHoo was only a mere human and although he knew nothing about our kind. Seo Jin tried to hide everything from him, for it is against the vampire law to fall in love with a human being. A pureblood should only mate a pureblood and no one else. She protected him by giving him up to assure his safety. Until he died and in front of his lifeless body, Seo Jin had promise her undying love to him that no matter what happen onto his next life, she will only give her heart to him. And when the time comes that she'll rule the vampire world, she will be able to be with him." JUnpyo explains and faces Jandi while the latter was struck. "Jandi it's their destiny. It's JiHoo's destiny to be with Seo Jin. It was his dying wish to be live for her and Seo Jin had to give him that. So please, please understand, you are his best friend and he needs you to understand." He added and before she can reply, JunPyo vanished. She remains frozen devastated from what she heard until a voice so deep and cold, made her jumped. She stirs behind her and when she did, she saw him, her very best friend, Yoon JiHoo.

He felt her sweet breath on his face as Woo bin close his eyes. He didn't know how to react, he was frozen until a hoarse evil laugh emits from the surrounding. Like a flash of lightning Jae kyung instantly stood in front of him, shielding him from someone. "My dear Jae kyung, welcome back!" Jae kyung held Woo bin's hand signaling him to stay calm and to trust her. He swallowed hard and prepared himself from worst as he widens his eyes and senses. "Jared …" Jae kyung gritted. "Show yourself" She roared while surveying the area.
"Missed me so soon, my pureblood princess?" A man in his twenties appears in front of Woo bin and her, wearing a 3 piece black suit. He is 6 feet tall, has a brown hair, and fair skinned. Woo bin recognizes him as one of the top models in the country named Jared Yu. "Don't flatter yourself, Jared, I killed you remember?" She held her head high and smirks. Woo bin clutch his hand as he heard those words. So this is the bastard who used Jae kyung. This is the bastard who betrayed and played her, who pretended to care and love her; somewhere deep inside, Woo bin suddenly felt the urge to kill him.
"Oh come on Jae, you actually believe that? You know better than anyone else how invincible I am." The bastard proudly stated as Jae kyung chuckles. "Is that so? You believe you're invincible? If what you say is true then why did you have to devour Arianna? Why do you have to kill a vampire in order to survive?" Jae kyung said as a matter of fact while mischievously smirking.
"Bravo!" Jared dramatically claps his hand. "I guess no matter how hard I try, I could never hide anything from you, after all we were once shared the one affection." Jared confidently spoke while walking towards them. Every step he took, made Jae kyung and Woo bin step back as she tries to protect Woo bin. She knew how a vampire attacks, she knew their strategies. "Huh! I believe it was a one sided love affair." She answers without a care in the world. Although she was still affected by the fact that he used her, Jae kyung compose herself. She wasn't going to give Jared the satisfaction.
"Oh Jae kyung, tsk … tsk.. my dear Jae kyung, we would have been a perfect couple if you weren't a pureblood. We would have rule the world if you'll just join me and my comrades." Jared announces. "And what? Feed on humans? Kill innocent people?" She retaliated.
He laughs at her words and Jae kyung clenched her fist. "Woah.. Jae since when did you care so much about those pathetic human beings."
"What did you say?" Woo bin harshly reacted who was clutching his fist. He tries to controls himself from launching onto this jerk as he insulted humans. "You heard me; pathetic human being like you should be our slaves." Jared darkly replied.
"Shut Up and prepare to die!" Jae kyung shouted as she had enough of this nonsense. She pushed Woo bin to the side before attacking Jared head on. Woo bin groan as his back hit the walls. He curses, clutching his lower back. He gazes onto Jae kyung as she fought with Jared. He blinks twice and furrowed his eyebrows as he tries to see what was happening. He couldn't make up as to who was winning because everything was so blurry. Both of them were moving so fast that Woo bin couldn't catch up. Their actions were like lightning, so fast and strong. He rubs his eyes trying to see if Jae kyung is okay until he heard her groan in pain and within a seconds she was thrown above him. She crashes on the walls, her back hitting on it so hard that if she was no vampire, she would have been dead. She landed painfully on the ground and was unconscious. Woo bin was terrified something bad might happen to her and just as his protective instincts kicks in, he screams and run towards Jared, who disappears and appears immediately behind him. Jared kicks him strongly in the back and landed next to Jae kyung. "Jae … "He painfully utters as he nudge her. "Wake up, we have to kill this bastard. We have to! Remember we need the book; look it's just up ahead." Woo bin double his breathing as he tries to muster his strengths. She needs to wake up. She needs to fight back.
Jae kyung focus all her energy and concentrates as she heard his voice. She hissed and releases all her powers. There is something in Woobin's voice that gave her the strength to fight back. It serves as her wakeup call voice, that when needs arise it kept her alive. She succumbs to his pleading voice; channeling her strength, Jae kyung's fangs slides downs as she snarled. Her transparent face, full of black veins as her eyes turns red. It wasn't the first time that Woo bin saw her like this, the first time it happen was back when she rescued him in the forest. So this time he wasn't scared in fact he felt safe. She hovers in the air and blasted her way towards Jared. She attacks him with all her power as Jared tries to dodge her attacks. She kicks him in the gut and ripped his torso. "You reeked of Arianna's blood; I can smell her in you. Let me guess Jared you thought it would powered up your powers, didn't you? Well I'm sorry to tell you but Arianna's isn't a pureblood like me. She is just like you, a half bred vampire." She announces the unfortunate news as she was about to deliver her final blow.
"You'll never get away with this Jae kyung. You, your family and your pathetic human being are all going to die!" Jared laughs and without holding back Jae kyung decapitates his head. Woo bin cringed at the sight of Jared's head as it rolls towards him. Jae kyung controls her powers and was back into her normal self. Woo bin breaths in and remain calm while walking towards the altar where the ancient book was place. He instantly grabs it. "I got it!" Woo bin declares. "Great, let's go!" Jae kyung smiles at him and held his waist. "Wait what .. are you doing?" Woo bin resist. "I need to transport us out of here. Now hold on to me. QUICK!"

Jandi was surprisingly shocked from what she witnessed. The prince of So clan was kissing Ga eul and literally landed on top of her on the bed. It was such a pleasing sight to watch as she saw the glow in Ga eul's face. She smiles at the both of them as Ga eul and the dark prince awkwardly moves away from each other. Both of them fidgeting, trying to explain the situation they were currently in. Jandi laughs at their antics and composed herself when she was reminded of the reason why she was there. Yi Jung automatically excuses himself as he read what's on Jandi's mind. No matter how much he wanted to be there for Ga eul, he knew she needed to face this by herself. He stares at her as she did to him and nods before leaving.
Jandi on the other hand was excited to confront Ga eul about it but decided to hold her tongue, there are other important things needed to discuss first before anything else. "Erm" Jandi clears her throat. "What is it Jandi?" Ga eul calmly asks.
"Ga eul, someone's looking for you." Jandi stated while looking at Ga eul.
"Who is it?" Ga eul softly asks.
Jandi smiles at her and without a word left Ga eul wondering inside the room. Ga eul furrowed her eyebrows, contemplating on whether to follow Jandi or just wait inside. Her questions were answered when someone appears behind her. Out of the corner of her eyes, Ga eul saw the figure of someone important to her. She gasps as she slowly turns to face the man she didn't expect to be standing behind her. Her eyes glows in happiness, tears starting to fall in her cheeks as she sobs and run towards her one and only BROTHER.
"JiHoo …" She sobs and embraces him tightly.
