DARKNESS - ENHYPEN
24. Book

Her legs moving up and down, the girl bit the pen while watching Jake's back. "Tumben once he chooses a seat down, is it deliberate that I can see his movements?" Ask Elena inwardly.

Again Elena did not pay attention to Saem even though the exam for class will soon arrive. He still coolly watched Jake's back with the contents of the brain filled with Sunghoon speech.

"I don't care about Jake all I care about right now is my feelings for Sunghoon. Not to anyone." His murmur began to take notes after knowing that five more minutes the bell would ring.

After the rain stopped the hot sun began to appear when Elena immediately looked back and saw Sunghoon was changing seats to the corner. The original bench was exposed to the sun.

Suddenly, the phone of a student sitting next to her let out a tremor. Elena could see a little that there was an incoming message but suddenly the entire student's phone rang and shook as well as the teacher's mother.

Elena checked the message from the group and widened her eyes.

...MOUNT HUYL TERROR...

The whole school was again shocked by the discovery of bodies in the Huyl mountains which were not far from the dormitory and school. All students and students are prohibited from leaving the dormitory, they are required to be in their respective rooms before 8 P.M.

After having dinner, Elena walked towards her dorm. He was confused because he did not find any students outside. The strong wind made Elena's body smell smelled by someone hiding in the bushes. Suddenly her body goosebumps, Elena knew that someone was watching her. Without a second thought, the girl immediately ran into the dormitory, even though she was already in the building but Elena still felt terrified. He ran up the stairs ignoring the noise of his shoes. Stupid time by disturbing the peace of people, he is currently frightened.

Just when on the last rung of the 3rd floor, Elena exhaled quite a sigh of relief. He was scared but also curious, his hand touching the handle of the cold iron staircase. His heart was beating very fast, cold sweat pouring from the sidelines of his temples. Elena gulped and peeked down, as if a flash and a strong wind had just shot past the dorm lobby. The wind blew upwards against Elena's face.

"Vam.. ARGHHHH!." Elena shouted as someone patted her on the shoulder. "You surprised me!." Peeking Elena gasped.

"Something bothers you?" Sunghoon asked to see the lobby from the 3rd floor.

Elena hesitated to say it. "I felt like someone was watching me near the front garden because of the fear I was running and I was curious, so I peered down."

Sunghoon. "You're not hurt, are you?" The man started to check Elena's entire body.

"I'm fine."

"But your heart is still beating so fast, you must still be terrified."

"Because of the terror on Huyl Mountain I am easily frightened." Elena walked into her room.

"You don't have to be afraid, I'll always be by your side." Sunghoon opened the door and allowed Elena to enter.

But the girl did not move, she was silent to notice Chika's empty and tidy bed. Usually the bed will always fall apart filled with clothes and snacks.

"I miss my friend." Mumbled sad.

Sunghoon understands Elena's feelings but he disagrees if Elena should return to befriend Chika.

"Do you know where Cranium's house is?" Elena asked.

"You.. know the Cranium house? From whom?" Sunghoon pulled Elena's hand into the room.

"Jake said that Chika was locked up in the Cranium house." Elena landed her butt on Chika's bed, her hand started rubbing the white sheet.

"You miss him so much?"

Elena nodded.

"I'll take you to meet him after tomorrow's ritual is over." Sunghoon took out a book from his hoodie pocket. How could such a big thing fit in a pocket?.

"You need to learn it."

"Only in one night?"

Sunghoon. "You can ask me if there's anything you don't understand."

"I don't understand everything." Elena was lazy. He moved to his bed and started reading. As usual, the writing moves.

Elena's hand touched the script that read 'Black Eyes' after she opened a new leaf. Elena remembered that she had read the passage.

"A servant is obliged to drip his blood on a giant cup united with the blood of the Master...

"The "cloud can be replaced by using other holy glasses. When the full moon is shining and visible, a servant must cast a spell with one breath. If not then his spell will be repelled and snatched punishing the master." Elena looked at Sunghoon.

"Everything's gonna be okay, El."

"But what if the ritual fails? what am I supposed to do when you're struck by lightning for my fault?."

"I believe you."

Elena shook her head. "I don't want to do it." Reject Elena raw. She can't perform tomorrow's ritual, Elena is afraid that Sunghoon is cursed and dies from his mistake.

"El, I don't have time. Tomorrow is the long-awaited day, at 12 pm on my birthday, as the full moon appears perfectly. I will receive the transfer of strength from my father, after receiving it, our ritual will be carried out and all my strength will be restored. I'll be the perfect creature. I need you to do everything." Sunghoon touched Elena's hand with a hopeful look.

Elena clasped Sunghoon's hand. "Do you really want to be a king?"

Sunghoon stared at the other side for a while then returned eye contact with Elena. "I'm destined to be a king, even if I don't want to but it's my destiny."

Sunghoon was speechless not answering, Elena gulped her saliva slowly.

"You don't want to change your own destiny." The girl took a breath and went back to reading the book.

"That destiny can't be changed by Elena." Sunghoon.

Elena could not focus, her gaze became blurry as her eyes glazed over. And maybe soon her tears will fall on her cheeks.

"Are we still able to meet after you become King?" Elena's question was a little heartbreaking, the girl knew that it was impossible. Sunghoon will be so busy with his kingdom. He will take care of all the werewolves and pol*tik of the government. There was no time to meet a human like him.

"I'll always visit you." Sunghoon muttered softly. Her large hand touched Elena's cheek, gently rubbing it made Elena rather amused. Sunghoon's body temperature was extremely cold but Elena ignored that.

They looked at each other for a while, channeling their feelings through their eyes. The dim yellow lights make the room feel so fitting with the state of the two who are being overwhelmed with confusion.

"You're getting pretty, Elena." Sunghoon suddenly praised.

Elena gasped for not getting used to the man's praise before her. "A joke, huh?" Elena said making Sunghoon smile again.

"Looks like you're tired, let's lie down. You can read it while sleeping." Sunghoon laid his body on the bed and pulled Elena into his arms.

Elena held back her smile, fortunately Sunghoon could not see the look on Elena's pleasant face. Sunghoon hugged Elena from behind so that the girl could still read some of her books tonight. At least Elena should know the important things that are in the guidebook.

As Elena read, Sunghoon played Elena's long hair. Occasionally he sniffed it because of the fragrance and the fur on Elena immediately goosebumps.

"Don't disturb my concentration." Reprimanding speech.

"What shampoo are you wearing?"

"Is that important for you to know?" Elena asked opened a new leaf.

"I like the smell, it's very soft but it doesn't reflect your rude attitude." After praising Elena now Sunghoon even mocked her.

"Don't make me mad, it's already night."

"That's exactly what I want."

"You want me to get angry?" Elena asked with sewot.

Sunghoon. "Silent and relaxed is not you. I love you who always explode like a volcano. Scary and deadly."

"Hey~ your words are exaggerated." Elena chuckles.

"Aren't you cold?" Suddenly the black hoodie man changed the subject.

Actually Elena was cold but the girl ignored the chilling chill chalked up from Sunghoon. Elena didn't care, she really liked being hugged by him.

"Little." Answer Elena.

"Do you want to make it hot?"

"You want to make a fire here?" Elena looked up a bit.

Sunghoon shook his head and whispered to Elena. "I'm pretty good at making hot temperatures in bed. You can flood the sweat."

Elena hissed as she looked at the perverted look on Sunghoon's face. "I don't think you deserve to be King. Your brain is so dirty."

"Want to make love is human."

"You're not a Sunghoon man." Elena reminded.

"Vampirate?"

Elena elbow elbow elbow Sunghoon. "Don't make your own vocabulary."

"Isa. I'm serious Elena."

"Seriously what's the matter?"

"Love you."
