Summary: Police officer Kim Jonghyun's life was turned upside down by the mysterious murders conducted in his area of Seoul, and by the fact that there were absolutely no leads pointing towards any killers. Or at least--any human killers. Jonghyun struggles with himself as he realizes that he might as well be insane for the he is the only one how could ever believe...In vampires. Meanwhile, if the doubts of his own sanity trouble his mind weren't enough to drive him offically insane, the fact that his college boyfriend Kim Kibum suddenly returns home to Korea from America, holding a secert of his own may be enough to do it.
PART ONE: HERE
“Bella! Watch out!!” The TV screamed annoyingly, as Kibum looked away from it, wondering why he was bothering to watch (okay, fine, re-watch, are you happy?) such a stupid movie right then. Didn’t Jonghyun promise him that he would be home again by five? It was already almost six. Was the traffic bad or something? It couldn’t be too much worse than LA, could it? Or…maybe it was? It had been far too long since Kibum had been in Seoul, he didn’t remember it very well at all…
Kibum sighed heavily and slumped down onto the couch as he watched the movement on the screen without really focusing on the faces, as he stuck his nose into his coffee cup (he wasn’t drinking the strong smelling liquid of course, as he might have done when he was human, but rather, trying to block the bad scent of the stinky garbage that the garbage-man had not yet picked up from the curb that had been bothering him for the last half hour).
It had truly been far too long since Kibum had been in Seoul, or even, Korea. He had missed it so much when he was in America, and resented the very fact that he had gone there and then been forced to stay away from it for half a year more than he had planned to be there in the first place.
~~
“It’s only for the best, Key-hon. If there are people in Korea that you care about, you should stay here until your second year. Or at least until you can learn how to control yourself better. Besides, here, we can take care of you easily. Even if you really care about whoever’s in Korea still, you won’t be able to help it if you’re too young and haven’t practiced endurance.” Tiffany (a new found acquaintance Kibum had been introduced to shortly after being turned) said comfortingly, before squeezing Kibum’s knees in hopes to console her group’s newest member.
Kibum rubbed the tears out of his eyes as he glanced up at the faces around him, and covered the scars on his neck as the fresh wounds stung him greatly. “B-but I don’t want to be here! I hate it here! I hate what coming here has done to me! I want to go back home! I want to go back to Korea! I-I miss Jonghyun!” He sobbed, miserably.
Jessica sighed as she pulled Kibum close against her. “Look, Key-baby, I know you miss Korea a lot, but c’mon, it’s going to be okay. We’ll take care of you, and it’s only for another year. I’ll teach you how to be able to be with humans again without wanting to drink them, and then you can go visit Korea again. It’ll be alright. If you miss Korea so much, you can come meet my parents; they’re still traditionalists even though we’ve lived here forever. You’ll feel better.” She consoled.
Kibum bit his lip before pushing away from Jessica’s arms quickly. “It’s not the same! You, Tiffany and Kevin were all born here! I’m not from here! I don’t want to live here! I lived in Korea! I had a life in Korea! I-I had my family and friends in Korea…I-I had Jonghyun! I want to go back! I-I want to go back to him! I don’t want to be here! I don’t want to be a damned vampire-I just want to be like I used to be!” He shouted quickly.
Kevin sighed heavily before pushing Kibum’s shoulder. “Buck up already, Key. Just stay for you first initial two years. If you go now, you’ll only hurt you friends or kill them. We’re doing you a favor.” He stated, bluntly.
Kibum’s attempts to compose himself only shattered as he heard Kevin’s words and he fell onto his knees, sobbing. “I hate this! I hate myself! I’m a monster! I just want to go home! I want to be with Jonghyun!!” He cried, furiously.
Jessica glared at Kevin for his blunt words, before pulling Kibum against her. “Key, honey, it’s not that that you can never see him again, it’s just that you have to build your resistance first. Just because you’ve been turned, doesn’t mean that you have to avoid all humans forever. Like me, Kibum; we were friends even before Allen turned you. You just have to build up your resistance, and then you can be around mortals again. Just be patient. You’ll see him again.” She cooed softly.
~~
Kibum sighed as he continued to bury his nose in his coffee cup. The first two years he was forced to spend with no contact with Jonghyun, forced to be what he saw as a vicious monster, had been so hard and so painful on him, but he finally was able to come home after so long of Kevin, Tiffany and Jessica forcing him to stay America. He had worked so hard to be able to resist humans so he could once again come home and find Jonghyun again, even when he wasn’t sure if Jonghyun would take him back or not.
Kibum sighed heavily again into his cup, causing for the warm steam from the hot liquid blow up and hit his cold face (even though nothing but human heat seemed to give him any lasting warmth), and the warmth made him reminisce of being a human, when he might actually might have enjoyed the taste of the bloodless coffee in the cup. He hated so much that he had become what he was then…but there was no way to revert it. No way to become a mortal again. All he could do was suffer through it the best he could.
Suddenly, Kibum jumped at the unexpected scent filling strongly in his nose, overpowering the strong coffee scent, and the feeling of warm, strong arms wrapping around the width of his shoulders comfortingly, and warm breath lingering against the skin on his neck.
“Hey, Babe. I’m home…” Jonghyun whispered huskily in his ear as he continued to hug him tightly from behind, leaning over the backrest of the couch to hug him close against his warm body.
Kibum was still shocked at the fact that he hadn’t sensed the human approaching (due to the fact that his nose was buried in his coffee cup, ears deafened by the crappy dialog of the movie playing, and eyes glancing down at the warm liquid in his cup). “J-Jjong! Oh, god, you scared me! When did you get home!?” Kibum asked quickly.
Jonghyun smiled as he stopped hugging the other and moved aside from the couch in order to pull off his shoes and police jacket. “Just now…” He muttered, slipping on some slippers.
Kibum let out his breath before glancing over at the clock on Jonghyun’s CD player slowly. “Oh…YAH! You’re late! Really late! You said that you were going to be home at five today! Where were you??” He asked, quickly.
Jonghyun smiled softly over his shoulder as he folded his police jacket and set it on the lounge chair in front of him. “Sworry, Beibe!” He muttered clumsily in English (getting an eye-roll from Kibum). “I was really busy today. There’s been a lot of work for me lately because this poor kid went missing a few days ago. I don’t know why, but I’ve somehow found myself swearing that I would find this kid. I just have a really strong feeling inside of me that he’s still alive. Sorry for coming home late, but we’ve finally found a match (or at least what seems to be one) to the DNA that was found on the kid’s clothing tears. But it too seems to be a dead-end. It’s all a big mess right now, so I had to stay a little late. I left as soon as Minho told me I could leave. Sorry, hon.” He answered.
“Taemin…” Kibum thought slowly, as he continued to look at Jonghyun. “The match…it must have been that Onew bastard. O-or whatever the hell his real name was…poor Jjong, he’s working so hard for nothing…” He sighed lightly before setting down his coffee cup. “No, it’s alright, Babe. My good policeman was working hard, right? How could I be upset with him for coming to me an hour late if he was busy trying to save a kid’s life? Besides, I was perfectly fine here by myself, just as I promised.” He said after a moment, feeding Jonghyun’s “I’m a policeman” pride.
Jonghyun half laughed before walking over to the couch where Kibum was and plopped next to him before feeling his forehead shortly before he looked back towards the television. “Bummie, you are anything but okay if you’re seriously sitting here watching Twilight…” He muttered, bluntly.
Kibum stopped and laughed as he glanced back towards the television. “U-uugh, you’re right. I don’t even know why I’m watching this. It was the only thing that was on after Inkigayo ended…and…yeah…” He muttered, cutting himself short in order to save effort in defending himself.
Jonghyun, however, seemed too set on getting it out of him, and forcing him to admit to watching the movie seriously to drop it just like that. “Because of what? Say it, say it out loud.” He half asked, half mouthed to the movie, as he took both of Kibum’s cold hands in his own, staring into his eyes.
Kibum glanced away from Jonghyun’s eyes quickly, feeling nervous. Not because he was ashamed of watching the stupid movie, but because he didn’t want Jonghyun to look in his eyes and ask him again why his hands were so cold again. “B-because…I-I’m a…” He started slowly.
“Vampire.” Jonghyun stated nonchalantly.
Kibum’s eyes widened and he looked up quickly, eyes flashing nervously with shock. “A-a-a wh-wha-what!?! What are you say…h-how did you…wh-what-?” He stuttered quickly, beginning to sweat a little. How did Jonghyun find out already!? There was no way! He couldn’t believe it.
Jonghyun laughed lightly at Kibum’s nervousness and weirdness before patting his cheek lightly, smiling widely. “Hah, relax Yeobo. The movie-” He muttered, shrugging towards the television, laughing to himself.
Kibum’s eyes dropped their wideness as he finally let out his tightly held breath with relief (even though it didn’t make any difference if he was still breathing or holding his breath), as he glanced towards the TV, finding that the accursed “Say it, say it out loud” scene had just finished. “Oh…ugh…yeah. Ughh, I hate this part. I mean, what kind of damned vampire sparkles in the light!? It’s really retarded…” He muttered, glancing down at his own skin, laughing at the thought of himself sparkling in the sun.
Jonghyun laughed as he glanced at the distastefully done CG work, before glancing back at Kibum. “Oh shush, I always knew you were a closet Twilight fan. But, of course you hate this part-you have good taste in men (that much is obvious-coughmecough) and are definitely on Team Jacob.” He answered, chuckling to himself.
Kibum laughed loudly at this before petting his silly pupposuar’s head. “It scares me that you even know those terms. But, hey, why do you say that? I’m curious.” He asked, still laughing at his silly Jonghyun’s weirdness.
Jonghyun smiled and raised one finger. “One; if I were forced to be in this stupid movie, I would definitely and undeniably be a werewolf, and since you like me, you would me on my team rather than any old vampire.” He answered.
Kibum laughed out loud at this before glancing back at Jonghyun for his second of reasons. This was becoming comical.
“Two; you like good looking men with muscles (once again, coughmecough), and Jacob does look…well, enough like me.” Jonghyun added.
Kibum couldn’t hold back anymore and threw his head back as he laughed as loudly as he could (rolling all over the couch in the process). “Oh yeah! Because Taylor Lautner totally just stole your look, right? You two are twins, totally….” He choked out, sarcasm dripping obvious from his voice.
Jonghyun twisted his face as uglily as his handsome face could have, trying to impersonate the actor. “Wh-whee made mudpies together…” He tried (earning a slap on the bicep from Kibum), making a totally off sounding voice. “Just give me some cut off jeans, a tattoo and let me lose my shirt, and I’m the sexy version.” He answered.
Kibum laughed again and clapped, tears now coming to his eyes from laughing so hard. Finally, someone was right about the definition of sexy (all those fangirls back in America were so mistaken about who would make the sexiest werewolf).
“Anyway,” Jonghyun said, as he caught Kibum’s hands from swatting at him anymore. “The third reason why is because vampires are sick and disgusting creatures. They’re all…ugh, just wrong. They kill innocent people, just for their own greed, and they’re not all ‘sparkly’ like the media makes them. The truth is that they’re really unfeeling and sick creatures that are especially morbid and vicious. They just….disgust me. I hate vampires, and since we’re alike, I’m sure you feel a least a little the same…” He muttered, crinkling his nose with disgust, and was about to go on when he suddenly spotted Kibum’s face, which was completely red, and the next thing he knew, tears were suddenly falling from the younger’s eyes.
“B-B-Bummie!? What’s…what’s wrong!? Did I hurt you somehow?? A-ah, what’s the matter, Buggy!?” He asked quickly, but as he took Kibum’s shoulders in hopes to comfort him, Kibum only collapsed into his arms.
“Bummie…? What’s the matter, Babe? Why cry like this? Did I do something wrong, Buggy?” Jonghyun asked quietly, as he took Kibum into his arms and held him comfortingly against his chest, feeling Kibum’s cold tears falling against his collarbones.
Kibum sobbed heavily as he collapsed into the confused Jonghyun’s arms. The poor older was clueless as to why the younger boy had suddenly dropped so weakly and began balling in his arms, but immediately took him into his warm embrace and soothed him with gentle kisses and warm caresses through his hair as he combed his fingers through it as he comforted him. How could Jonghyun have known that the words he had just said would cut so deeply into Kibum’s nonbeating heart? For all Jonghyun knew, he was just ranting about a fictional character that had no serious ties to Kibum’s heart. How could he have known that the one who loved him most, and the one who was sitting next to him, was what he was explaining his hatred for? There was no way he could have known, but the words nonetheless cut Kibum like knives.
“Buggy? Kibummie, tell me what’s wrong? Have I hurt you? You’re not some crazy Edward-obsessed fanboy are you?? ‘C-cuz if you are, I’m really sorry. I’ll still love you forever, but, Buggy, he’s just a fictional movie character, Yeobo, don’t take such offense…” Jonghyun’s confused voice asked, after a minute.
Kibum tried to make the tears stop falling, and dried the ones that already spilt onto Jonghyun’s shirt as he recomposed himself the best he could. “N-no…it has nothing to do with the stupid movie…” He muttered, sitting up a little and rubbing the bottom of his eye gently with the back of his unhurt wrist. “I…just twisted my hand the wrong way, after I pulled it wrong this morning. It just hurt really bad. I’m sorry, Jjongie, I’m okay now…” He forced himself to lie the best that he could at the moment, before looking back towards the older.
Jonghyun smiled softly after a moment and brushed the tears off of Kibum’s cheeks softly with his thumbs, before dropping a chaste kiss on his forehead. “Mngn. My poor Buggy. At least I didn’t cause those tears-I was ready to never forgive myself for hurting you. I thought that I made you cry because I dissed your beloved Edward and you were going to leave me for…wh-whoever that guy’s name is...” He muttered, making Kibum smile lightly, although tears were still shining in his arms, causing for Jonghyun to soften again. “Now…let’s see that wrist. Did you really hurt yourself so badly?”He asked, gently taking Kibum’s hand and glancing it over.
Kibum half smiled sadly as Jonghyun picked up his hand and kissed the healing scratches that Onew had left on his wrist that morning, Jonghyun’s soft and warm lips smoothing over them, soothing his sore skin. “Mngnn, Bummie, how’d you get so cut up on your wrist? Did my vase really cut you up so badly? That bad vase…it’s a good thing it’s broken then, if it’s going to hurt my Buggy.” Jonghyun muttered, as he gently pulled off the bandage to kiss the hurts more gently.
Kibum could only divert his eyes from Jonghyun and hold his breath as he had to continue to lie to the one he loved. He hated it, but he had no other choice. Jonghyun frowned a little as he saw the tears still in Kibum’s eyes before slowly kissing up his wrist. “Poor Bummie. Don’t worry, I’ll make you feel better…” He whispered, not taking his lips off of Kibum’s wrist, causing for the movements of his lips to tickle the thin skin on his wrist, and Kibum to smile lightly.
“H-hmn…it’s working a little.” Kibum muttered quietly, closing his eyes and leaning back a little against the armrest of the couch as Jonghyun kissed up his forearms up to his shoulder gently.
Jonghyun glanced up at him softly for a moment, before smiling and kissing his shoulder before moving to his cheek once, then finally finding his lips. Kibum turned his head a little to reach Jonghyun’s lips better and hummed against his lips as they met, wrapping his arms around Jonghyun’s neck, as Jonghyun wrapped his arms around his waist, leaning him against the armrest of the couch even more.
“I love you, Bummie. I’ll take care of you forever. I promise.” Jonghyun whispered quietly against Kibum’s lips, moving his hand to the side of Kibum’s face so he could play with the younger’s soft brown hair, and stroke his cheek softly as he stopped kissing him.
Kibum kept his eyes closed as he leaned up again to find Jonghyun’s lips. He had no idea how he had ever been so misfortunate as to become the very thing that Jonghyun claimed he hated most in the world, and yet stumble across as being the one that Jonghyun loved more than anything. All he could do was be thankful for the latter, and snuggle into the protective and warm arms of his lover. Feeling Jonghyun’s warm hands on his body, feeling his soft breath falling onto his face, smelling the scent that belong to Jonghyun and Jonghyun only, and feeling his steady and solid heartbeat against his own chest, Kibum for once felt at ease. Although Jonghyun’s precious blood still circulated through the veins which were now brought close to him, Kibum was able to fight back his own thirst for the longing of wanting to feel Jonghyun’s heartbeat against his own cold chest, and his breath against his own.
“P-please love me, Jonghyun…” Kibum half whispered, half moaned as Jonghyun began gently licking and kissing under his chin, sucking lightly on the soft skin under his tongue. “P-please love me forever…n-no matter what I do…p-please promise me…” He stuttered.
Jonghyun softened his kisses as he gently began to stroke Kibum’s cheek with one hand, and ran his other under his shirt, up and down his stomach. “I love you, Kibum. I will and have always. No matter what you do, or have done. You’re the only one in my eyes, and have and will always be. I’ll be with you forever. Until the day we leave this world, I’ll be right here. Right by your side. I promise you. I love you, Kibum…I promise.” He whispered softly, until he couldn’t stand to not kiss Kibum for any longer and brought their lips back together.
Kibum moaned lightly at Jonghyun’s touch as he pressed his head against the pillows. “M-mnn…p-prove it….” He muttered, causing for Jonghyun to half smile before climbing above him.
~
Taemin covered his eyes and looked away from the apartment again as Jonghyun scooped Kibum up and carried him to the bedroom before laying him down gently on his bed, kissing him passionately. “Ai-aigo! H-Hyung, they’re going at it again! Aigo…aigo! Why do they do that so much? Does Officer-Hyung really taste that good to kiss? I-ick….” He blabbed out, not caring to see much more of the two lover’s interactions.
Onew chuckled to himself at his newborn’s innocence before glancing back towards the apartment. “You right…they do do it too often. As much as I do enjoy watching that foolish officer put his life completely into the hands of the one who will end up killing him, it does get a little boring after a while, listening to them moan ‘I love you, Jjongie’, ‘I love you Bummie’ over and over again.” He mocked, before smiling evilly. “What do you say we spice this up a little bit then? I think that our little brother over there is just finding it too easy to ignore us. I think it’s time that we make our presence known, don’t you, Tae?” He asked, contently.
Taemin glanced up from covering his eyes, upon hearing the content scheming in his hyung’s voice, and glanced back towards him slowly, making a curious pout with his plump lips. “Wh-what do you suppose we should do then, Hyung?” He asked, after a moment.
Onew smiled again before glancing back through the window, back towards Jonghyun and Kibum. “Hmph, just watch. This should be an interesting show. If not the grand finale. What do you think, shall we test our brother a little more? Let’s see how well he resists the human under him when he suddenly remembers his natural instincts.” He plotted, reaching into a small bag he had dropped on the rooftop.
~~
“Ki….Kibum…” Jonghyun stuttered strengthlessly as he was pressed against the pillows of his bed, and Kibum began to nip and bite flirtingly at his earlobe as the younger resumed his last night’s position of being on top of him. How did this happen? Before Kibum left for America, he used to be the submissive one in this relationship. How was it that the roles seemed to be switched all of a sudden? Suddenly, Jonghyun remembered that he wasn’t one to complain, as Kibum pulled a pleasure point as he gently tugged at his earlobe with his teeth. “B-Bummie….” He muttered out again.
Kibum smiled lightly at Jonghyun’s voice as he stopped pulling at his earlobe and gently ran his tongue from behind it to his last night’s favorite place on the crook of Jonghyun’s neck. Jonghyun let out a quiet groan and messed up Kibum’s hair as he placed his hand on the back of his head in attempts to hold to younger.
Kibum smiled again as he continued to suck on Jonghyun’s neck, but as Jonghyun quietly moaned and turned his neck again to expose it, his muscle moved under Kibum’s tongue, and his teeth found their way bumping against a slightly emerged vein in the older’s neck, and the next thing Kibum knew, the smell of fresh, warm, human blood filled the air, and it was all that he could smell.
~~
Onew stared closely at Kibum, as the fresh warm crimson blood dripped down his chin, upon watching as Kibum suddenly shouted and threw himself off of Jonghyun, stumbling to the foot of the bed as quickly as anyone could, suddenly somehow out of breath as he pushed away from Jonghyun with all the strength he had.
Taemin glanced up quickly, surprised by Kibum’s shout, as he quickly looked back towards Onew. “H-Hyung! What happened!? I didn’t see! D-did he really bite Officer-Hyung!?!” He asked quickly, looking between the window and Onew with big eyes.
Onew only chuckled quietly as he kept his eyes on Kibum. “I must say…our little brother…he’s quite impressive to have lasted this long. Even though I knew he was impressive before now…I really didn’t expect this though.” He muttered, smiling contently.
~~~
Jonghyun sat up quickly on the bed and looked at Kibum quickly, having screamed along with him when he suddenly screamed, his heart pounding in his chest due to surprise and shock, even though he still had no idea why on earth his Kibum had suddenly screamed and pushed himself away from him so quickly.
“Bummie!? Kibummie, what happened? Are you okay!?” He asked quickly, sitting up from where Kibum had had him down a few moments before.
~~
“He’s really impressive for having had been able to resist, even when he smelt fresh blood being spilled so close to him….” Onew chuckled more to himself, as his discarded a still full body of his victim, giving the rest of his blood to Taemin to drink. “Really impressive…” He whispered again.
~~
Kibum seemed to be out of breath, and pushed himself further away from Jonghyun as Jonghyun tried to get closer to him again. All he could smell was the over powering smell of fresh, warm blood spilling, and it was starting to get to his head. When he suddenly smelt the spilling of blood, and heard the quiet shout of the victim losing their life to Onew not far away, he had known that it was a set up to try to get him to bite Jonghyun. The timing was just too perfect for it not to be. So he held his breath the best he could and let out a loud shout as to distract himself, as he pushed away from Jonghyun, trying to get as far away from the human as he could.
“Bummie!? What’s wrong!?” Jonghyun’s shouting voice finally sounded in his ears, pulling Kibum back to his current situation. All his eyes seemed to be able to focus on when he looked at Jonghyun were the veins in his neck, and he had to close his eyes in order to stop himself from losing himself to the sight of the human’s exposed veins and the overpowering smell of freshly spilled blood.
“Th-there was a giant spider! I-it was freaking huge! J-Jjongie, you have to kill it! It was going to jump on me!” Kibum managed to find the most believable lie that he could at that moment, pointing at the wall behind Jonghyun’s bed.
The poor scared and confused Jonghyun only let out a breath and dropped his hand on his pounding heart as he heard Kibum’s reason for screaming before glancing behind him towards the wall. “Oh god, Kibum! I thought that someone was killing someone or something by the way you were screaming! You gave me a heart attack!” He panted quickly.
Kibum gnawed his lips as he tried to stop the smell from getting to him, but to no avail, he had to find a reason to get away from Jonghyun as quickly as he could. “HOLY SHIT! IT’S BACK!” He screamed as loudly as he could, before taking off, running out of the bedroom, and slamming the door behind him, leaving the poor dumbfounded Jonghyun alone in the bedroom with the nonexistent spider of death.
As Kibum pushed out of the bedroom, he was greeted with the smirking face of a blood covered Onew, standing on Jonghyun’s balcony. As soon as he eyes fell on him, they slanted furiously, and his middle finger was in the air before he could even process the words to cuss the older vampire out.

PART ONE: HERE
“Bella! Watch out!!” The TV screamed annoyingly, as Kibum looked away from it, wondering why he was bothering to watch (okay, fine, re-watch, are you happy?) such a stupid movie right then. Didn’t Jonghyun promise him that he would be home again by five? It was already almost six. Was the traffic bad or something? It couldn’t be too much worse than LA, could it? Or…maybe it was? It had been far too long since Kibum had been in Seoul, he didn’t remember it very well at all…
Kibum sighed heavily and slumped down onto the couch as he watched the movement on the screen without really focusing on the faces, as he stuck his nose into his coffee cup (he wasn’t drinking the strong smelling liquid of course, as he might have done when he was human, but rather, trying to block the bad scent of the stinky garbage that the garbage-man had not yet picked up from the curb that had been bothering him for the last half hour).
It had truly been far too long since Kibum had been in Seoul, or even, Korea. He had missed it so much when he was in America, and resented the very fact that he had gone there and then been forced to stay away from it for half a year more than he had planned to be there in the first place.
~~
“It’s only for the best, Key-hon. If there are people in Korea that you care about, you should stay here until your second year. Or at least until you can learn how to control yourself better. Besides, here, we can take care of you easily. Even if you really care about whoever’s in Korea still, you won’t be able to help it if you’re too young and haven’t practiced endurance.” Tiffany (a new found acquaintance Kibum had been introduced to shortly after being turned) said comfortingly, before squeezing Kibum’s knees in hopes to console her group’s newest member.
Kibum rubbed the tears out of his eyes as he glanced up at the faces around him, and covered the scars on his neck as the fresh wounds stung him greatly. “B-but I don’t want to be here! I hate it here! I hate what coming here has done to me! I want to go back home! I want to go back to Korea! I-I miss Jonghyun!” He sobbed, miserably.
Jessica sighed as she pulled Kibum close against her. “Look, Key-baby, I know you miss Korea a lot, but c’mon, it’s going to be okay. We’ll take care of you, and it’s only for another year. I’ll teach you how to be able to be with humans again without wanting to drink them, and then you can go visit Korea again. It’ll be alright. If you miss Korea so much, you can come meet my parents; they’re still traditionalists even though we’ve lived here forever. You’ll feel better.” She consoled.
Kibum bit his lip before pushing away from Jessica’s arms quickly. “It’s not the same! You, Tiffany and Kevin were all born here! I’m not from here! I don’t want to live here! I lived in Korea! I had a life in Korea! I-I had my family and friends in Korea…I-I had Jonghyun! I want to go back! I-I want to go back to him! I don’t want to be here! I don’t want to be a damned vampire-I just want to be like I used to be!” He shouted quickly.
Kevin sighed heavily before pushing Kibum’s shoulder. “Buck up already, Key. Just stay for you first initial two years. If you go now, you’ll only hurt you friends or kill them. We’re doing you a favor.” He stated, bluntly.
Kibum’s attempts to compose himself only shattered as he heard Kevin’s words and he fell onto his knees, sobbing. “I hate this! I hate myself! I’m a monster! I just want to go home! I want to be with Jonghyun!!” He cried, furiously.
Jessica glared at Kevin for his blunt words, before pulling Kibum against her. “Key, honey, it’s not that that you can never see him again, it’s just that you have to build your resistance first. Just because you’ve been turned, doesn’t mean that you have to avoid all humans forever. Like me, Kibum; we were friends even before Allen turned you. You just have to build up your resistance, and then you can be around mortals again. Just be patient. You’ll see him again.” She cooed softly.
~~
Kibum sighed as he continued to bury his nose in his coffee cup. The first two years he was forced to spend with no contact with Jonghyun, forced to be what he saw as a vicious monster, had been so hard and so painful on him, but he finally was able to come home after so long of Kevin, Tiffany and Jessica forcing him to stay America. He had worked so hard to be able to resist humans so he could once again come home and find Jonghyun again, even when he wasn’t sure if Jonghyun would take him back or not.
Kibum sighed heavily again into his cup, causing for the warm steam from the hot liquid blow up and hit his cold face (even though nothing but human heat seemed to give him any lasting warmth), and the warmth made him reminisce of being a human, when he might actually might have enjoyed the taste of the bloodless coffee in the cup. He hated so much that he had become what he was then…but there was no way to revert it. No way to become a mortal again. All he could do was suffer through it the best he could.
Suddenly, Kibum jumped at the unexpected scent filling strongly in his nose, overpowering the strong coffee scent, and the feeling of warm, strong arms wrapping around the width of his shoulders comfortingly, and warm breath lingering against the skin on his neck.
“Hey, Babe. I’m home…” Jonghyun whispered huskily in his ear as he continued to hug him tightly from behind, leaning over the backrest of the couch to hug him close against his warm body.
Kibum was still shocked at the fact that he hadn’t sensed the human approaching (due to the fact that his nose was buried in his coffee cup, ears deafened by the crappy dialog of the movie playing, and eyes glancing down at the warm liquid in his cup). “J-Jjong! Oh, god, you scared me! When did you get home!?” Kibum asked quickly.
Jonghyun smiled as he stopped hugging the other and moved aside from the couch in order to pull off his shoes and police jacket. “Just now…” He muttered, slipping on some slippers.
Kibum let out his breath before glancing over at the clock on Jonghyun’s CD player slowly. “Oh…YAH! You’re late! Really late! You said that you were going to be home at five today! Where were you??” He asked, quickly.
Jonghyun smiled softly over his shoulder as he folded his police jacket and set it on the lounge chair in front of him. “Sworry, Beibe!” He muttered clumsily in English (getting an eye-roll from Kibum). “I was really busy today. There’s been a lot of work for me lately because this poor kid went missing a few days ago. I don’t know why, but I’ve somehow found myself swearing that I would find this kid. I just have a really strong feeling inside of me that he’s still alive. Sorry for coming home late, but we’ve finally found a match (or at least what seems to be one) to the DNA that was found on the kid’s clothing tears. But it too seems to be a dead-end. It’s all a big mess right now, so I had to stay a little late. I left as soon as Minho told me I could leave. Sorry, hon.” He answered.
“Taemin…” Kibum thought slowly, as he continued to look at Jonghyun. “The match…it must have been that Onew bastard. O-or whatever the hell his real name was…poor Jjong, he’s working so hard for nothing…” He sighed lightly before setting down his coffee cup. “No, it’s alright, Babe. My good policeman was working hard, right? How could I be upset with him for coming to me an hour late if he was busy trying to save a kid’s life? Besides, I was perfectly fine here by myself, just as I promised.” He said after a moment, feeding Jonghyun’s “I’m a policeman” pride.
Jonghyun half laughed before walking over to the couch where Kibum was and plopped next to him before feeling his forehead shortly before he looked back towards the television. “Bummie, you are anything but okay if you’re seriously sitting here watching Twilight…” He muttered, bluntly.
Kibum stopped and laughed as he glanced back towards the television. “U-uugh, you’re right. I don’t even know why I’m watching this. It was the only thing that was on after Inkigayo ended…and…yeah…” He muttered, cutting himself short in order to save effort in defending himself.
Jonghyun, however, seemed too set on getting it out of him, and forcing him to admit to watching the movie seriously to drop it just like that. “Because of what? Say it, say it out loud.” He half asked, half mouthed to the movie, as he took both of Kibum’s cold hands in his own, staring into his eyes.
Kibum glanced away from Jonghyun’s eyes quickly, feeling nervous. Not because he was ashamed of watching the stupid movie, but because he didn’t want Jonghyun to look in his eyes and ask him again why his hands were so cold again. “B-because…I-I’m a…” He started slowly.
“Vampire.” Jonghyun stated nonchalantly.
Kibum’s eyes widened and he looked up quickly, eyes flashing nervously with shock. “A-a-a wh-wha-what!?! What are you say…h-how did you…wh-what-?” He stuttered quickly, beginning to sweat a little. How did Jonghyun find out already!? There was no way! He couldn’t believe it.
Jonghyun laughed lightly at Kibum’s nervousness and weirdness before patting his cheek lightly, smiling widely. “Hah, relax Yeobo. The movie-” He muttered, shrugging towards the television, laughing to himself.
Kibum’s eyes dropped their wideness as he finally let out his tightly held breath with relief (even though it didn’t make any difference if he was still breathing or holding his breath), as he glanced towards the TV, finding that the accursed “Say it, say it out loud” scene had just finished. “Oh…ugh…yeah. Ughh, I hate this part. I mean, what kind of damned vampire sparkles in the light!? It’s really retarded…” He muttered, glancing down at his own skin, laughing at the thought of himself sparkling in the sun.
Jonghyun laughed as he glanced at the distastefully done CG work, before glancing back at Kibum. “Oh shush, I always knew you were a closet Twilight fan. But, of course you hate this part-you have good taste in men (that much is obvious-coughmecough) and are definitely on Team Jacob.” He answered, chuckling to himself.
Kibum laughed loudly at this before petting his silly pupposuar’s head. “It scares me that you even know those terms. But, hey, why do you say that? I’m curious.” He asked, still laughing at his silly Jonghyun’s weirdness.
Jonghyun smiled and raised one finger. “One; if I were forced to be in this stupid movie, I would definitely and undeniably be a werewolf, and since you like me, you would me on my team rather than any old vampire.” He answered.
Kibum laughed out loud at this before glancing back at Jonghyun for his second of reasons. This was becoming comical.
“Two; you like good looking men with muscles (once again, coughmecough), and Jacob does look…well, enough like me.” Jonghyun added.
Kibum couldn’t hold back anymore and threw his head back as he laughed as loudly as he could (rolling all over the couch in the process). “Oh yeah! Because Taylor Lautner totally just stole your look, right? You two are twins, totally….” He choked out, sarcasm dripping obvious from his voice.
Jonghyun twisted his face as uglily as his handsome face could have, trying to impersonate the actor. “Wh-whee made mudpies together…” He tried (earning a slap on the bicep from Kibum), making a totally off sounding voice. “Just give me some cut off jeans, a tattoo and let me lose my shirt, and I’m the sexy version.” He answered.
Kibum laughed again and clapped, tears now coming to his eyes from laughing so hard. Finally, someone was right about the definition of sexy (all those fangirls back in America were so mistaken about who would make the sexiest werewolf).
“Anyway,” Jonghyun said, as he caught Kibum’s hands from swatting at him anymore. “The third reason why is because vampires are sick and disgusting creatures. They’re all…ugh, just wrong. They kill innocent people, just for their own greed, and they’re not all ‘sparkly’ like the media makes them. The truth is that they’re really unfeeling and sick creatures that are especially morbid and vicious. They just….disgust me. I hate vampires, and since we’re alike, I’m sure you feel a least a little the same…” He muttered, crinkling his nose with disgust, and was about to go on when he suddenly spotted Kibum’s face, which was completely red, and the next thing he knew, tears were suddenly falling from the younger’s eyes.
“B-B-Bummie!? What’s…what’s wrong!? Did I hurt you somehow?? A-ah, what’s the matter, Buggy!?” He asked quickly, but as he took Kibum’s shoulders in hopes to comfort him, Kibum only collapsed into his arms.
“Bummie…? What’s the matter, Babe? Why cry like this? Did I do something wrong, Buggy?” Jonghyun asked quietly, as he took Kibum into his arms and held him comfortingly against his chest, feeling Kibum’s cold tears falling against his collarbones.
Kibum sobbed heavily as he collapsed into the confused Jonghyun’s arms. The poor older was clueless as to why the younger boy had suddenly dropped so weakly and began balling in his arms, but immediately took him into his warm embrace and soothed him with gentle kisses and warm caresses through his hair as he combed his fingers through it as he comforted him. How could Jonghyun have known that the words he had just said would cut so deeply into Kibum’s nonbeating heart? For all Jonghyun knew, he was just ranting about a fictional character that had no serious ties to Kibum’s heart. How could he have known that the one who loved him most, and the one who was sitting next to him, was what he was explaining his hatred for? There was no way he could have known, but the words nonetheless cut Kibum like knives.
“Buggy? Kibummie, tell me what’s wrong? Have I hurt you? You’re not some crazy Edward-obsessed fanboy are you?? ‘C-cuz if you are, I’m really sorry. I’ll still love you forever, but, Buggy, he’s just a fictional movie character, Yeobo, don’t take such offense…” Jonghyun’s confused voice asked, after a minute.
Kibum tried to make the tears stop falling, and dried the ones that already spilt onto Jonghyun’s shirt as he recomposed himself the best he could. “N-no…it has nothing to do with the stupid movie…” He muttered, sitting up a little and rubbing the bottom of his eye gently with the back of his unhurt wrist. “I…just twisted my hand the wrong way, after I pulled it wrong this morning. It just hurt really bad. I’m sorry, Jjongie, I’m okay now…” He forced himself to lie the best that he could at the moment, before looking back towards the older.
Jonghyun smiled softly after a moment and brushed the tears off of Kibum’s cheeks softly with his thumbs, before dropping a chaste kiss on his forehead. “Mngn. My poor Buggy. At least I didn’t cause those tears-I was ready to never forgive myself for hurting you. I thought that I made you cry because I dissed your beloved Edward and you were going to leave me for…wh-whoever that guy’s name is...” He muttered, making Kibum smile lightly, although tears were still shining in his arms, causing for Jonghyun to soften again. “Now…let’s see that wrist. Did you really hurt yourself so badly?”He asked, gently taking Kibum’s hand and glancing it over.
Kibum half smiled sadly as Jonghyun picked up his hand and kissed the healing scratches that Onew had left on his wrist that morning, Jonghyun’s soft and warm lips smoothing over them, soothing his sore skin. “Mngnn, Bummie, how’d you get so cut up on your wrist? Did my vase really cut you up so badly? That bad vase…it’s a good thing it’s broken then, if it’s going to hurt my Buggy.” Jonghyun muttered, as he gently pulled off the bandage to kiss the hurts more gently.
Kibum could only divert his eyes from Jonghyun and hold his breath as he had to continue to lie to the one he loved. He hated it, but he had no other choice. Jonghyun frowned a little as he saw the tears still in Kibum’s eyes before slowly kissing up his wrist. “Poor Bummie. Don’t worry, I’ll make you feel better…” He whispered, not taking his lips off of Kibum’s wrist, causing for the movements of his lips to tickle the thin skin on his wrist, and Kibum to smile lightly.
“H-hmn…it’s working a little.” Kibum muttered quietly, closing his eyes and leaning back a little against the armrest of the couch as Jonghyun kissed up his forearms up to his shoulder gently.
Jonghyun glanced up at him softly for a moment, before smiling and kissing his shoulder before moving to his cheek once, then finally finding his lips. Kibum turned his head a little to reach Jonghyun’s lips better and hummed against his lips as they met, wrapping his arms around Jonghyun’s neck, as Jonghyun wrapped his arms around his waist, leaning him against the armrest of the couch even more.
“I love you, Bummie. I’ll take care of you forever. I promise.” Jonghyun whispered quietly against Kibum’s lips, moving his hand to the side of Kibum’s face so he could play with the younger’s soft brown hair, and stroke his cheek softly as he stopped kissing him.
Kibum kept his eyes closed as he leaned up again to find Jonghyun’s lips. He had no idea how he had ever been so misfortunate as to become the very thing that Jonghyun claimed he hated most in the world, and yet stumble across as being the one that Jonghyun loved more than anything. All he could do was be thankful for the latter, and snuggle into the protective and warm arms of his lover. Feeling Jonghyun’s warm hands on his body, feeling his soft breath falling onto his face, smelling the scent that belong to Jonghyun and Jonghyun only, and feeling his steady and solid heartbeat against his own chest, Kibum for once felt at ease. Although Jonghyun’s precious blood still circulated through the veins which were now brought close to him, Kibum was able to fight back his own thirst for the longing of wanting to feel Jonghyun’s heartbeat against his own cold chest, and his breath against his own.
“P-please love me, Jonghyun…” Kibum half whispered, half moaned as Jonghyun began gently licking and kissing under his chin, sucking lightly on the soft skin under his tongue. “P-please love me forever…n-no matter what I do…p-please promise me…” He stuttered.
Jonghyun softened his kisses as he gently began to stroke Kibum’s cheek with one hand, and ran his other under his shirt, up and down his stomach. “I love you, Kibum. I will and have always. No matter what you do, or have done. You’re the only one in my eyes, and have and will always be. I’ll be with you forever. Until the day we leave this world, I’ll be right here. Right by your side. I promise you. I love you, Kibum…I promise.” He whispered softly, until he couldn’t stand to not kiss Kibum for any longer and brought their lips back together.
Kibum moaned lightly at Jonghyun’s touch as he pressed his head against the pillows. “M-mnn…p-prove it….” He muttered, causing for Jonghyun to half smile before climbing above him.

Taemin covered his eyes and looked away from the apartment again as Jonghyun scooped Kibum up and carried him to the bedroom before laying him down gently on his bed, kissing him passionately. “Ai-aigo! H-Hyung, they’re going at it again! Aigo…aigo! Why do they do that so much? Does Officer-Hyung really taste that good to kiss? I-ick….” He blabbed out, not caring to see much more of the two lover’s interactions.
Onew chuckled to himself at his newborn’s innocence before glancing back towards the apartment. “You right…they do do it too often. As much as I do enjoy watching that foolish officer put his life completely into the hands of the one who will end up killing him, it does get a little boring after a while, listening to them moan ‘I love you, Jjongie’, ‘I love you Bummie’ over and over again.” He mocked, before smiling evilly. “What do you say we spice this up a little bit then? I think that our little brother over there is just finding it too easy to ignore us. I think it’s time that we make our presence known, don’t you, Tae?” He asked, contently.
Taemin glanced up from covering his eyes, upon hearing the content scheming in his hyung’s voice, and glanced back towards him slowly, making a curious pout with his plump lips. “Wh-what do you suppose we should do then, Hyung?” He asked, after a moment.
Onew smiled again before glancing back through the window, back towards Jonghyun and Kibum. “Hmph, just watch. This should be an interesting show. If not the grand finale. What do you think, shall we test our brother a little more? Let’s see how well he resists the human under him when he suddenly remembers his natural instincts.” He plotted, reaching into a small bag he had dropped on the rooftop.
~~
“Ki….Kibum…” Jonghyun stuttered strengthlessly as he was pressed against the pillows of his bed, and Kibum began to nip and bite flirtingly at his earlobe as the younger resumed his last night’s position of being on top of him. How did this happen? Before Kibum left for America, he used to be the submissive one in this relationship. How was it that the roles seemed to be switched all of a sudden? Suddenly, Jonghyun remembered that he wasn’t one to complain, as Kibum pulled a pleasure point as he gently tugged at his earlobe with his teeth. “B-Bummie….” He muttered out again.
Kibum smiled lightly at Jonghyun’s voice as he stopped pulling at his earlobe and gently ran his tongue from behind it to his last night’s favorite place on the crook of Jonghyun’s neck. Jonghyun let out a quiet groan and messed up Kibum’s hair as he placed his hand on the back of his head in attempts to hold to younger.
Kibum smiled again as he continued to suck on Jonghyun’s neck, but as Jonghyun quietly moaned and turned his neck again to expose it, his muscle moved under Kibum’s tongue, and his teeth found their way bumping against a slightly emerged vein in the older’s neck, and the next thing Kibum knew, the smell of fresh, warm, human blood filled the air, and it was all that he could smell.
~~
Onew stared closely at Kibum, as the fresh warm crimson blood dripped down his chin, upon watching as Kibum suddenly shouted and threw himself off of Jonghyun, stumbling to the foot of the bed as quickly as anyone could, suddenly somehow out of breath as he pushed away from Jonghyun with all the strength he had.
Taemin glanced up quickly, surprised by Kibum’s shout, as he quickly looked back towards Onew. “H-Hyung! What happened!? I didn’t see! D-did he really bite Officer-Hyung!?!” He asked quickly, looking between the window and Onew with big eyes.
Onew only chuckled quietly as he kept his eyes on Kibum. “I must say…our little brother…he’s quite impressive to have lasted this long. Even though I knew he was impressive before now…I really didn’t expect this though.” He muttered, smiling contently.
~~~
Jonghyun sat up quickly on the bed and looked at Kibum quickly, having screamed along with him when he suddenly screamed, his heart pounding in his chest due to surprise and shock, even though he still had no idea why on earth his Kibum had suddenly screamed and pushed himself away from him so quickly.
“Bummie!? Kibummie, what happened? Are you okay!?” He asked quickly, sitting up from where Kibum had had him down a few moments before.
~~
“He’s really impressive for having had been able to resist, even when he smelt fresh blood being spilled so close to him….” Onew chuckled more to himself, as his discarded a still full body of his victim, giving the rest of his blood to Taemin to drink. “Really impressive…” He whispered again.
~~
Kibum seemed to be out of breath, and pushed himself further away from Jonghyun as Jonghyun tried to get closer to him again. All he could smell was the over powering smell of fresh, warm blood spilling, and it was starting to get to his head. When he suddenly smelt the spilling of blood, and heard the quiet shout of the victim losing their life to Onew not far away, he had known that it was a set up to try to get him to bite Jonghyun. The timing was just too perfect for it not to be. So he held his breath the best he could and let out a loud shout as to distract himself, as he pushed away from Jonghyun, trying to get as far away from the human as he could.
“Bummie!? What’s wrong!?” Jonghyun’s shouting voice finally sounded in his ears, pulling Kibum back to his current situation. All his eyes seemed to be able to focus on when he looked at Jonghyun were the veins in his neck, and he had to close his eyes in order to stop himself from losing himself to the sight of the human’s exposed veins and the overpowering smell of freshly spilled blood.
“Th-there was a giant spider! I-it was freaking huge! J-Jjongie, you have to kill it! It was going to jump on me!” Kibum managed to find the most believable lie that he could at that moment, pointing at the wall behind Jonghyun’s bed.
The poor scared and confused Jonghyun only let out a breath and dropped his hand on his pounding heart as he heard Kibum’s reason for screaming before glancing behind him towards the wall. “Oh god, Kibum! I thought that someone was killing someone or something by the way you were screaming! You gave me a heart attack!” He panted quickly.
Kibum gnawed his lips as he tried to stop the smell from getting to him, but to no avail, he had to find a reason to get away from Jonghyun as quickly as he could. “HOLY SHIT! IT’S BACK!” He screamed as loudly as he could, before taking off, running out of the bedroom, and slamming the door behind him, leaving the poor dumbfounded Jonghyun alone in the bedroom with the nonexistent spider of death.
As Kibum pushed out of the bedroom, he was greeted with the smirking face of a blood covered Onew, standing on Jonghyun’s balcony. As soon as he eyes fell on him, they slanted furiously, and his middle finger was in the air before he could even process the words to cuss the older vampire out.
