Reading met
Soojung wakes up while smelling a toast. The smell is so sweet that Soojung is very captivated. The woman opened her eyes, she saw a bed she was not used to sleeping in, a large window whose outside view was so unfamiliar to her.
The woman sat up and looked around, the memory of last night coming back to her. How in a big raid he saw that Seokjin was part of a vampire. The woman's eyes widened at the sight of the man she thought was setting the table, full of breakfast this morning: toast, jam, milk, fruits.
Seokjin turned her head and gave a smile. “Good morning, Soojung.”
Soojung gulps. It turns out that last night was not a dream. Last night Seokjin thrust himself to be stabbed with a knife but Soojung could not let go even though she hated vampires. He glanced at Seokjin's palms, no bandages, nothing even though Seokjin's hands were bleeding overnight.
Seokjin noticed the woman's gaze. He raised his hand, “My hand is fine, Soojung. As long as the blade is not silver, any wound recovers faster.”
Soojung still looked at Seokjin with enlarged eyes. He did not expect for the rest of his life, that he would be in a vampire house, sleeping in a vampire bed, even having a relationship with a vampire. He always wanted to avenge vampires. The sky was playing tricks on him because he was in love with a vampire.
Seokjin biting lips in doubt. He wouldn't have forced it even if this morning Soojung changed her decision last night. If Soojung does reject him, he's ready.
“You must still be shocked by all this. I will never force you, Soojung-ah.”
“We'll have breakfast?” ask Soojung, ignoring Seokjin's previous words. He doesn't want to talk about last night, even if Soojung wants to forget about it and thinks it never happened.
The woman got out of bed and approached Seokjin. He opened his mouth when he saw the breakfast. “It just so happens that my stomach is hungry. Let's have breakfast together, Oppa..”
Seokjin was stunned but finally gave a smile. “We can eat on the balcony while enjoying the morning.”
Soojung nodded and the two went to the balcony. Seokjin carried a tray containing breakfast and placed it on the balcony table. The morning was very fresh and the sky was beautiful. Seokjin is grateful at least the weather is not bad to enjoy.
“Today I will not go to college..” said Soojung while eating cut fruit, “I want to rest.”.
“I will accompany you.” says Seokjin, “I will take a leave of absence today.”
Soojung looked at Seokjin closely. “Are you really a vampire?” whispered.
Seokjin nodded.
“What I saw last night, about the brothers you told me about, they were vampires?”
The vampire nodded back. “We don't need to discuss it if it makes you uncomfortable, Soojung-ah.”
“Anni...” The woman looked calm and not in shock like last night. “I need to get used to.”
“Soojung-ah..”
“Then... how do you suck human blood without being caught?” Soojung's heart aches when he says it because he recalls his experience when Junior High was sucked blood by two vampires. Did Seokjin also do it, picking random victims on the street to suck her blood?
“I drank bottled blood..” replied Seokjin, “There are illegal and secret sites that trade blood for vampires.”
Both of Soojung's eyebrows shot up. He just heard that. “Vampire does not suck human blood?”
“That's too risky,” said Seokjin, “We don't want to create problems by making breaking news. Even if we had the opportunity to suck human blood, we did it to humans who would have died in the hospital.”
“But I was once sucked blood by a vampire.” said Soojung slowly disagree with Seokjin's remarks.
“Mwo?” Soojung put a fork on the plate and he turned to look at Seokjin dumbfounded, “What do you mean, Oppa?”
Seokjin gave a long sigh. “Six years ago when you were bitten by 2 vampires.. I saw it, Soojung-ah.
Soojung's eyes are breaking into horror. He tried to remember the incident in his memory, but all that was left was the memory when his blood was sucked by 2 vampires. He could not remember Seokjin's presence there.
“I-it's impossible.. I don't remember that you exist..”.
Seokjin smiled faintly. “Every vampire has power, Soojung. And my power is to be able to control memory.”
Soojung's mouth opened but no sound came out. He was too shocked while his brain was processing the information he had just heard. Is that why doctors and police consider him an accident even though Soojung says she was bitten by a vampire? Because Seokjin who saved him back then changed someone else's memory? And maybe Seokjin erased some of the memories of her saving Soojung back then?
“I'm sorry if I just told you now,” said Seokjin lirih, “I changed your memory and that of others back then so as not to have an uproar about vampires. What the two vampires did was wrong, I've taught them a lesson, vampires shouldn't attack humans like that.”
Soojung's eyes are glazed. Ah it feels like his chest is back. The cut fruit that he had previously eaten now tasted very bitter. Why can it be like this? Seokjin who once saved him from vampires... and now becomes his lover…? How could anything happen like that?
“Soojung...” muttered Seokjin held the woman's arm because she saw her tears flowing.
“Did you also manipulate my mind all this time?” isak Soojung's.
“Mwo?”
Soojung's head feels like it's about to break. Negative thoughts were fluttering in his mind quickly and suddenly. What if Seokjin has been manipulating herself all this time, making Soojung fall in love with the vampire? Or it could be that the incident last night was also influenced by the power of Seokjin who can manipulate the mind so that Soojung still loves Seokjin, accepting her who is a vampire when Soojung really hates vampires since long ago. Isn't that too contradicting?
“A-what...” Soojung's lips quiver when saying it, “...you manipulated my mind all this time.... and last night..?”.
Seokjin's eyes grew surprised. He swore he didn't do it to Soo-jung. He only manipulates Soojung's thoughts during Junior High and also manipulates the minds of all the students that Seokjin is a History lecturer. That'sthat's all. He does not manipulate the woman's thoughts and feelings to love her.
Soojung was still staring at Seokjin while tears kept flowing. His feelings are currently raging, confused between what is right and what is wrong. He becomes difficult to distinguish his inner voice when he knows Seokjin's power is to control memory.
Seokjin was devastated when the woman said so. He's a vampire, but he's not that low. Vampires don't fall in love easily, vampires don't usually need love and romance.
“I don't..” Seokjin's eyes were already glazed over. He could not even continue his sentence. Wanting to defend yourself is also free. It seems like he should not allow himself to dissolve in the feeling of love.
Like swallowing bitter bile in his throat, Seokjin was only able to duck. “I won't force you, Soojung, if you can't accept me. And as long as you know, I never manipulate someone to be by my side.”.
With that word Seokjin immediately got up and left Soojung. His heart is very sick. Turns right. His human friends used to say that love would cause pain. So hurt. Seokjin held onto her aching chest, she had never felt this kind of pain in her life. The pain of loving someone.
Seokjin leaves the room, she doesn't want Soojung to see her fragile self like this.
While Soojung was crying faster. She covered her face with two hands and continued to cry. What else now? Is fate back to testing it? Or playing him? How should he be able to tell which is his true heart voice and which is not?
The woman could not forget how the injured expression Seokjin showed. Surely Soojung has hurt Seokjin so much by accusing him of manipulating her thoughts and feelings.
Soojung continued to cry with pain.
