SUPERNATURAL FILES #2: LIPSTICK

CHAPTER 16

The following day, Renjun is out of the mood.

He didn't know why; it was just a sudden kick when he woke up past 4 a.m. The need for blood is creeping onto him like a lurking demon, but the hunting hour is already over, and he doesn't want to get his ass barbequed.

Without much choice, he opened their small storage of blood bags, satisfying himself with this temporary fill. Though frustration replaced his hunger when the taste wasn't much of his type,.

The vampire downed 4 bags in less than 5 minutes, stopping himself as he felt as though the more he'd digested a sugar-mixed drink, the more he would crave fresh human blood.

Sleep didn't also befriend him after, so he just laid blank on his dark mattress until the skies slowly radiated a small amount of light.

Fast forward: when the clock struck 12, the campus halls were alive once again at the sign of lunch.

Cafeterias, benches, and other spots that the students converted into their eating places were slowly filled.

Then here's the vampire sitting quietly across the human girl, flashing a look of judgment at the number of meals on the table.

"What are you waiting for? Eat," she invited, then nudged her head to the plates.

"I'm not eating those leaves."

"Renjun! It's just lettuce. Here you can wrap the nugget with that."

Aerin placed a piece of chicken nugget and wrapped it with lettuce, then pointed at the small bowl of mayonnaise.

"Dip and eat it."

Renjun just flickered back and forth to her and... whatever food she just made and shook his head.

"Come on! It's not like you'll die."

"My taste buds will die! No, I'm not eating that," he rejected for the nth time and just sipped on his special drink from the red aluminum bottle.

Aerin rolled her eyes and picked up the wrapped nugget with her chopsticks, dipping it in the mayonnaise and placing it just in front of his mouth.

"Open up"

"Ew, no, no."

"Just a bite."

"What could I gain from this!?"

"My time. Now eat."

The vampire's brow raised. "A... date?"

"Whatever makes you sleep at night," she mumbled, and she poked his lips, leaving a bit of mayo on them.

Renjun sat straight and sniffed at the food, grimacing at the healthy smell of vegetables.

"You owe me a date."

"Whatever. Eat"

With further sniffs and gulps, he opened his mouth as Aerin shoved the piece in with a big smile.

"Make sure to chew carefully, okay?" she spoke in a cute tone, obviously teasing the male who's frowning with every crunch of the vegetable and the nugget inside it.
