Noblesse [ENHYPEN FF]

26 - Marked

[Minjung's POV]

I glanced at Heeseung who seemed pissed before it finally clicked in my head, he must have heard Jungwon's wish when he blew the candles.

"If that's what you wish for..." I trailed off as I thought about it. What else would I give him? All this little vampire asked for was some blood, how bad could it be? I covered up my shocked face with a bright smile before I nodded at him. I walked towards the kitchen while the rest of the group moved towards the living room. I found a small needle that I could use as I walked towards the living room.

My heart felt heavy, was I nervous? I sat down on the couch beside Jungwon as I carefully held up the needle. I gently poked the tip of my finger with it, making me lightly bleed. The chattering stopped, the room fell deadly silent as the smell of my blood flowed in the room. I nervously looked up at Jungwon who had already shifted, waiting patiently for his gift.

I held out my finger for him as he softly grabbed my hand before giving my lightly bloody finger a lick. The boy sighed breathlessly before he put the tip of my finger between his lips as he started to gently suck on it. I giggled as he looked like a baby doing so. I felt intense stares at me in the room as I looked around. All the boys except for Beomgyu had shifted to my surprise, even the royals as they followed Jungwon's every movement. It looked like they were in a trance.

"Jungwon I can't feel my finger." I commented as the younger boy quickly pulled away. His eyes were glowing red at this point while he licked one of his fangs. His gaze was shifting between my neck and my eyes.

"Try biting me." I challenged him as I rolled my eyes at the younger boy. He quickly hovered his fangs over my neck, not being able to bite me. He looked at me with a sad smile before he shifted back, revealing his sweet, brown eyes.

"Thank you so much noona, it was the best gift." He said while giving me a shy smile. I smiled back at the younger boy before I suddenly felt a weight over my body. I looked up surprised as Yeonjun was hovering over me, his eyes glowing a blue color. His ocean blue eyes were scanning my neck intensely.

"I'm sorry." He muttered before he dug his fangs into my neck. I winced at the aching pain. I felt an uncomfortable tickling feeling around my neck, almost like it was choking me. I tried to push him away with all of my strength but he didn't budge at all. Heeseung was the first one to react as he harshly pulled away the royal from me. Beomgyu sat down beside me as he held me tightly in an attempt to comfort me. I tried to hide myself from reality in his warm embrace.

"M-Minjung..." I looked up at the owner of the voice, realizing that it was Yeonjun calling out my name. I stared into his now brown and guilty eyes who looked back at me. My neck was giving away a stingy feeling, reminding me of his actions.

I quickly stood up and walked away from the living room. All I needed was to get away. I ran upstairs and opened the first bedroom I could find. I harshly closed the door behind me as my vision had become blurry. The smell of cherry blossoms ran through my nose as I shakily laid down on the owner's bed. I hid under the covers as darkness embraced me.

The door could be heard as someone softly opened and closed it. The sound of steps got closer to me as I hugged myself tighter. A hand gently pulled down the covers, revealing my puffy face to the person. I opened my eyes to see Ni-ki looking down at me worriedly. I sighed before closing my eyes again.

"Noona..." Ni-ki whined beside me. I tried to ignore the younger boy, hoping that he would leave if I did so. Unfortunately he climbed into bed as he laid down in front of me. I felt his gaze on me while the smell of strawberries danced around the room. He laid an arm over my body as he side hugged me tightly. He stayed silent while he waited for me to be approachable.

"I'm scared." I confessed to the younger boy as I opened my eyes. I felt small and weak by the royal's earlier action. Ni-ki quietly growled at my statement. I met his gaze, a pair of strawberry colored orbs staring into my soul.

"But I'm fine." I assured him, wanting him to calm down. He smiled at me, his fangs were no where seen but his eyes were still painted red. I snuggled up against his chest as I looked for comfort. He tucked my hair back, revealing the fresh mark. Curses left the younger boy's mouth as he lightly stroked the wound. Ni-ki suddenly gasped while he looked at his fingers, a small trail of fresh blood was on his hand. He looked down at me panicked before he quickly wiped it off on his clothes. The door suddenly burst open.

"Minjung I was-" Sunghoon suddenly stopped in his sentence. I looked up to see his fangs widely showing.

"You're still bleeding." He pointed out. The older boy quickly went to a drawer in his room and took out a band aid. He opened it as he went over to his bed where I had snuggled up with Ni-ki. He sat down beside me before he gently placed it over my mark. The older boy softly patted my head before he stood up and left the room. Leaving me alone with Ni-ki again. The younger boy hummed silently as I slowly drifted to sleep.

[Sunghoon's POV]

I closed the door to my room, leaving Ni-ki and Minjung alone. I felt furious. Why were they snuggling in my bed? Why did Ni-ki have Minjung's blood on his clothes? I quickly went down the stairs before I could change my mind about the situation. I walked into the living room as I looked around dumbfounded.

"They left, it was for the better." Jake explained as I nodded. I sat down on the couch beside Jungwon who stared blankly at the ground. He noticed my presence as he looked up at me.

"Did you find Minjung noona?" He asked me hopefully. I nodded before he stood up in front of me.

"She's in my room... With Ni-ki." I answered before I sighed heavily. Jungwon stopped in his tracks as he heard the last part. He turned around and tilted his head to the side confusedly. I shrugged before Jungwon started to sprint upstairs.

"You're so loud." Heeseung pointed out as he stared at me. I pointed confused at myself before he nodded. I furrowed my eyebrows over his weird complaint.

"All I hear in your mind is Minjung Minjung Minjung." He complained before he rolled his eyes at me. I scoffed at the older boy.

"What? I love her." I stated confidently. Heeseung's eyes flickered at me in annoyance.

"But I love her more." He countered before walking out of the room.
