DARKNESS - ENHYPEN
8. Recognition

After her eyes opened Elena found Nicholas right by the side of the bed. The man fell asleep sitting. Elena realized that this room wasn't her dorm.

He shuffled as he touched his throbbing head, trying to recall what had happened. "Wolf." The whisper couldn't believe it.

"You awake?" Nicholas' voice surprised Elena a little.

"Why are we in the UKS?"

"Your head is bleeding so I brought you here."

Elena felt her forehead and felt a rough plaster on the side of her forehead. The girl was still stunned thinking about the wolf she saw behind the school, she wanted to assume everything was a dream and not real but to remember Sunghoon, Jake, it was, Jay and his friends - a vampire - are most likely the wolves he sees are neither dreams nor just hallucinations. It could be that the creature he met was a werewolf.

"I wish I was taking drugs." Gumamnya.

"The wolf you saw was me, Elena."

The girl looked over with her eyes ready to come out. "How did you know I saw a wolf?"

"Because I'm the wolf, that's why I know."

Elena laughed blandly. "Don't make it up, I know that I'm just hallucinating.".

"In this world there is no such thing as a vampire, nor are there werewolves. They are fiction, not real at all. So Nicholas, don't say again that you're a werewolf." Press it, get out of bed and go out of the room.

Nicholas ran after Elena and pulled the girl's hand. "The real werewolf Elena is, you're just insensitive to the creatures around you. Not just me but EJ and brother K are also werewolves."

Like being struck by lightning, Elena was surprised to find out that EJ and K were also wolves. Just yesterday she met EJ and Elena did not feel that EJ was a wolf.

"I don't want to believe all that. You're Nicholas' man, EJ and K's brother are also human. You're not wolves, you're my friends, human friends!." Elena insisted on denying everything.

"You believe more in vampires than werewolves?" Nicholas's question made Elena scrunch her forehead. "I don't believe in both. You guys are just kidding with me, right? it's all a joke, isn't it Nicholas?".

The teenager shook his head. "I'm not kidding, creatures like us have been around since ancient times and we have to hide the identity of the werewolf, that's why me and the others never told you about us being a wolf."

"Why? because you don't trust me? you think that I'm gonna make you guys wretch like that?".

"No Elena, not just you but my other family doesn't know that me, my mom and dad are werewolves."

It feels like Elena's body is twitching, actually anyone who is not a human around her. He felt fooled by the wolves disguised as humans.

"I think I'm the most broken man in the world." Elena threw out Nicholas's hand.

"Don't see me for a while." Elena left Nicholas. The girl was angry because it turned out that the man she liked had been lying, whereas Elena had never hidden anything from her.

He sobbed on the bed, suddenly there was a sense of uneasiness in him. Angered, disappointed and upset, Elena cries in the dark trying not to make any noise for fear of waking Chika up. He could not believe that his friends were lying. "They're so mean." His murmur wiped away the tears.

Suddenly, Sunghoon's words popped into his head.

'Did you smell the dog, El?' ,

'That means he looks like a dog because they don't eat vegetables like you'.

"Could Sunghoon have known that Nicholas was a wolf?." He opened the blanket, now he could breathe a lot of air. "It turns out to be true, I'm insensitive to the circumstances around me." His impressions gulped.

"You need to be more aware of Elena, so that you won't be shocked like that. Maybe it could be that in this world there are still many other creatures." He spoke for himself, trying to start accepting the truth.

...****...

The students are still busy discussing Lucy's death, it looks like this one case will be the main discussion for the next few weeks.

Elena still hasn't spoken to Nicholas and today she doesn't see Sunghoon, the annoying guy who looks like a stamp.

"You're going to go to a school holiday?"

"I haven't thought about it yet because it's likely that I'll be back in town." Elena put her books in a bag.

"You don't need to envy me, I'm not necessarily allowed by Puma to go on a picnic anyway." Elena needs permission from Puma to travel far.

They left the class and walked down the corridor. "I'm gonna do the laundry today, you want to take another break?"

"I'll do it myself." Elena refused.

He put some of his clothes in the washing machine but it seemed like some of the clothes were missing. "Maybe fall?" His murmurs checked back. "It seems to be left behind the dorm." The thrill of closing the machine door then pressing the button to grind for thirty minutes but suddenly the machine stopped and required Elena to check it once again there was a small bracelet. The bracelet was the one Elena picked up on the floor when she first met Sunghoon. He took the bracelet and began to wash.

Elena was forced to wash at night because she had to finish the essay. Suddenly the presence of Sunghoon with a cold gust of wind made his body slightly jump in shock.

"Can't it arrive smoother?" The grunt came down from the top of the washing machine.

"I'd purposely let you be surprised because the human feeling of surprise and fear is very tempting." Sunghoon's gaze fell on the bracelet Elena was holding.

"This is mine, where did you find it?"

"I forgot to give it to you, this bracelet I found in front of the dorm door the first time we met." Elena Obviously.

"I think the bracelet has disappeared."

"Does this bracelet mean so much?" Elena asked that because Sunghoon's expression at the sight of the bracelet was very happy.

"Ya~ this bracelet belongs to my lover."

His heart felt stifling when he heard Sunghoon's words. Elena was surprised to find out that the man who kissed her had a lover.

"Thank God the bracelet met." Said Elena in a lazy tone.

Sunghoon noticed Elena's jealous feelings, the man smiled and put his bracelet in his jacket pocket.

"He's dead, Elena. You don't have to be upset like that." Sunghoon started teasing.

Elena was surprised by Sunghoon's words that her lover was dead. "I'm not upset at all." His murmur exhaled slowly.

"Sorry for bringing up your mass." Sorry to bow your head.

"It's okay, I don't feel sad at all because there's you in his stead."

"What do you mean?"

Sunghoon smiled, he pulled Elena's waist so that the distance between the two was closer. Slowly Elena looked up to stare at Sunghoon.

The sound of the machine was very loud in this quiet place.

"You look pretty much like Viola, you're just a human being. You are similar in terms of face and posture but not to the brain and behavior." Sunghoon raised his right hand and started touching Elena's face with his fingertips.

"Viola has a polite and intelligent mannerism while you don't."

"You're saying I'm the opposite of all your lover's traits, right?." His emotions began to stir.

Sunghoon chuckled at Elena who was easily annoyed. "I love all your shitty natures, you comfort me too and sometimes make me want to taste your blood."

Elena clucking. "Jay, I have to be careful of you."

"You're so pretty, Elena." Sunghoon's praise made Elena blush in shame, fortunately it was quite dark that the man could not see the red blush on Elena's cheeks.

"You just realized that I'm pretty?" He's starting to trust himself.

Sunghoon who could not help himself immediately kissed Elena. He tries to go deeper to get Elena to the fullest as his feelings for Elena continue to grow. Sunghoon knew that Elena was born for him and Sunghoon also knew that after this many were after Elena.

While Elena, the girl tries to avoid Sunghoon. No matter how she felt, Elena still preferred Nicholas, Sunghoon was nothing to Elena. Moreover, the personality and background of the Sunghoon are very mysterious.
