OK another chapter...I hope everyone likes it! ^.^ Thank you for the comments!
Soo-Jung's POV
I sighed and tried yet again to not let my eyes wander to the handsome guys not more than 5 feet in front of me, failing as I peeked up at Changmin again. I now knew that he was real, that they were all real, and tried not to think too hard on what that could mean about the last forty minutes or so. 'I can't believe this is happening...Bo this is your fault....' I glared at the back of her head and prayed I would be able to get out of this situation without too much more embarrassment. Muttering to myself I decided I wasn't going to wait for whatever negative things I could think of to be thought and would instead try to figure out what was going on, and stood up, getting everyone's attention.
"Bo dongsaengie...please...just explain what is going on?" She smiled and I sat back down, slightly afraid of what was behind that smile. She sat down across from me and explained about how she didn't want me to know about her being related to Jaejoong and staying with TVXQ, "You are STAYING with them? Have they been reading our convos?" and about how she had wanted to introduce some of them to me but was unsure of what my reaction might be. Then she asked me about my dream.
"My dream? Why do you wanna know about that? That was days ago...I can't remember it all now! AISH....so frusterating..." I looked away. She touched my hand. "Unnie...I am so sorry about all of this...please forgive me and understand. I couldn't tell you! Please don't be angry with me." I looked at her again and smiled. "I am not angry at you specifically. I am just mad. And embarrassed because of how I acted in front of....well YOU know...." She nodded. "Please...I will explain afterwards but...I must ask that you tell me what you remember from your dream." I narrowed my eyes at her. "How about you tell me BEFORE I say anything else?" She didn't cower away or even flinch, instead her eyes got really cold and I shivered.
"Fine whatever Kim Bo-Ho...then you and them....can all leave." Her eyes quickly looked apologetic and I almost softened but I sighed instead and started.
"OK so there...were two shadowy men. I got to see one at the end but I will tell you about that later...anyway I think I might have been moving....or dancing? The shadow man closest to me was all of a sudden in front of me. He seemed to be trying to look at something and I heard a voice. So I turned to see shadow man number two. For some reason my heart beat faster and my face flushed to be near this one...I know this because I could feel it, and I went to him. I wrapped my arms around him. Then I saw his face. It was....it was Changmin." I sneaked a peek at said member and blushed, taking a second before I finished telling about my dream.
"Then for some reason I looked to the first man again and out of nowhereI felt pain, Changmin was biting me! But....I could only feel...AISH nevermind what I felt. Happy? My strange dream. Now leave." I stood up and went to the door, hearing her speaking quietly and quickly under her breath. Opening the door I made a show of getting their attention and bowing grandly, motioning with my arm for them to leave.
"Unnie...you don't really want...us to leave do you?" I didn't even look, only nodding. "Nae....you got what you came for right? You are free to leave. Sorry for embarrassing you and wasting your time like this." I felt a hand on my shoulder but ignored it.
"Unnie...I don't WANT to leave. I like hanging with you! I'm....sorry for my response earlier. I was just frusterated. Please, at least let me explain it all to you." At that I did lift my head. "Explain it all? Explain WHAT? I told you what you wanted to know." I realized the hand on my shoulder was Jaejoong's and slowly so as not to offend I removed it. Deciding to be the adult, the cool-headed one in this situation, I closed the door, crossed my arms, and let her explain.
500 years ago...Korea
I sighed and continued walking, hoping that I would get home before dark. I knew that some wild animal or another was out and about, killing people after dark. Sighing again I froze when I heard a sound. 'Ok...don't get paranoid...it is nothing I am sure...I must get home now!' I heard the sound again and started walking quickly, seeing the gate to my home just ahead. Then I heard footsteps and without even looking back I ran as fast as I could. Unfortunatley it didn't seem fast enough, because I could hear the footsteps right behind me, feel the creature breathing on my neck. I had to stop to open the gate and then I heard nothing. My breath catching, I dared a look back and saw : nothing. "There is nothing there...why was I running even?" I saw my jade bracelet on the ground ahead of me. "I must have dropped it. I have to retrieve it or father will be angry." I took a deep breath and, shaking, walked to my bracelet and picked it up. Placing it on my wrist I laughed quietly to myself. 'And to think I was running from a phantom, to almost have lost this precious thing.'
"Hello little one." I jumped and turned. Standing there in front of me was a man that was only a few inches taller than me. His smile was strange and his eyes were glowing, but what I saw most of all was the blood on his shirt.
"Ex-Excuse me sir. May I help you in some way?" His creepy smile got wider and he nodded. "Yes miss, you can help me for sure. I am looking for something...to eat. Would you happen to know where I might find something?" He took a step toward me and I backed away, now searchign frantically for a way I could run past and into my home. 'Once I am on my own property he wouldn't DARE touch me...but I must get there first!'
"A-Anio....I don't know of anyplace near here sir. This place is all homes, not a market. The market is that way, there is plenty of fresh vegetables and meat." At that he seemed to get very excited and no matter how much I crept backwards he always seemed to be closer and closer to me, finally inches from my face.
"But..dear girl...I have the meat I want right here!" He grabbed me and I screamed loudly for help, hoping, praying that someone would hear me. But if anyone did they didn't come to save me, at least not in time. Next thing I know I feel pain on my wrist and see he is biting me, the blood just pouring out. I tried to pull away but all that seemed to do was make him more excited and cause me more pain. then he let go and smiled with a bloody mouth and I tried my hardest not to cry. I was too weak to run, having fallen onto my knees by now.
"Please...sir....let me go. I can pay you! I can give you whatever you want...please..." He grabbed my shoulders. "But I have what I want right here. Dinner is served!" He bit down onto my throat and I felt and saw no more that night.
When I finally awoke many days later I was ravenous. "Where...am I? I am so hungry...I must find food..." I sat up and made myself dizzy with how fast I was. 'What was that? I don't feel so good...but I am so hungry...!' It was then that I smelled it. Meat, delicious meat, it's scent wafting towards me and making my stomach growl. I stood up and started walking, stopping when I saw the back of that man bent over in what looked like pain. But the smell, the smell was driving me insane. He stood up and faced me, blood all over him again, and smiled.
"You want food don't you? Here...something just for you. But don't take too long!" I saw then what had him bent over. A little boy. 'He cannot be more than 6 years of age...but he smells so good...' I felt guilty immediately for that thought. Before I knew it however the little boy was in my grasp and I was lowering my head and doing something that was so unnatural, so disgusting, that I lifted my head and pushed him away. Unfortunately I didn't know my own new strength and practically threw him.
"Oh dear...now you killed him. Well I will have to get another dinner now won't I?" I heard his laugh and turned, feeling myself going crazy but not caring.
"What...am I? What did you do to me!" His smile got larger, his eyes dancing in joy at my obvious disdain and fury at the act I had just performed. "You, my dear girl, are a bloodsucker. A vampire. And I had you for dinner. Which is what YOU just did to that sweet little boy. But then you ruined the specially prepared meal I got for you! That poor boy...but at least he was in sweet sweet pain beforehand!" It was then that I lost track of everything, blacked out. An indefinate amount of time later I awoke to a fire buring brightly in front of me, the smell acrid and horrid. I saw what looked like a hand and looked down to see blood all over myself. I ran then, ran far away.
200 years later...
I was in the river, washing away blood from myself, the blood of the animals I had eaten. I still felt disgusting, dirty, drinking blood. But I was reserved to it now. Thinking to myself I heard a noise and ducked under the water, hiding most of my body, and stared around with my perfect eyesight, better than perfect eyesight. I saw him then, a man who was hiding, or trying to hide, but was still looking in my direction. Then, since I didn't move, e came out slowly and called out to me, not that he needed to.
"Excuse me. Are...you alright? You...seemed to be covered in blood. I apologize, I didn't mean to intrude, didn't mean to see you this way." From where I was I watched as he blushed and tried not to smile. 'Isn't he cute? What a sweet man...' He stepped forward again and tripped, falling headfirst into the water. I swam to him and helped him get back out, knowing the water was so cold that he would get sick quickly. I stayed in the water and tried to swim away but he grabbed my arm. I could have easily thrown him off but something made me stop. I turned, forgetting I was nude, and stared at him. He took a second to get control and then he touched my face.
"Miss...you seem hurt. Please...let me help you." His voise was beautiful, like a fairy tale Prince's voice would sound. I shook my head, afriad to speak, to open my mouth that still had blood in it. He pushed back some hair out of my face. "Please...let me do something for you, tell me where you are hurt." I smelled him then, the smell having taken a while for some odd reason, and fought to not eat him like I wanted to. Unaware of the sudden danger he continued to try to find a place where I was hurt, never touching or looking any lower than my shoulders. I hadn't been near a human in almost 150 years, after realizing that they would always smell good and I would fight harder if I was near them than if I wasn't. His hand touched my face again and I could hear the pulse in his wrist. I moved my face closer to better smell him.
"Miss?" I looked at him again and something in my eyes made him frightened. He tried to push me away but I grabbed him and bit down, drinking deeply. After I finished I could feel nothing but guilt. 'I can't believe I just did that! To this handsome boy...What have I done!' I whispered in his ear, wanting to know his name at least, to better drown myself in sorrow and guilt. Through his rough breathing, I apologized, telling him I couldn't help it, that I felt so guilty.
"My...name is....Junsu. Kim Junsu...please...do not feel bad...it was my time..."
Alright another update! Hope you all enjoy! Sorry it's so short...^.^
