Volevo Un Gatto Nero ➳ Taegyu ✔

12. Blood

Date: January 17th

"I'll be home in a little bit," Beomgyu said over the phone as Taehyun made him breakfast. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just went to a friend's house after the party."

Beomgyu's fever went away overnight, much to the surprise of Taehyun, but he was glad. No vampire liked dealing with a weak and helpless human who they didn't want to feed off of. Their natural instincts made them want to target the ones who were weaker, so Taehyun was glad Beomgyu was okay now.

"Your sister's overbearing huh?" Taehyun asked.

Beomgyu shrugged and spun a little bit in the countertop stool. "She's just protective. No big deal." Taehyun nodded in understanding, going to the fridge to get a metal water bottle out. Beomgyu tilted his head. "When you said we were having breakfast, I thought you meant both of us. But you're just drinking something."

"Your food is done." Taehyun ignored what Beomgyu said, making him squint his eyes.

"Why are you being secretive?"

Taehyun turned to face him and handed him the water bottle. "Here. Try it if you're so curious." Beomgyu sniffed it and scrunched his face up, making Taehyun laugh. "Come on. You can do it Beomgyu."

He took a deep breath before bringing the hole of the water bottle to his lips. Taehyun was cockily staring at him though and he felt the sudden need to impress the vampire, tilting it up and chugging it for a few seconds.

"Hey!" Taehyun nearly screamed, pulling it away from him. "I didn't think you would actually do it!"

Beomgyu's eyes were watering at the horrible taste and his mouth was covered in red as he ran to the bathroom to throw up, making Taehyun sigh. He followed him to the bathroom, getting a cup of water and handing it to him to gulp down when he was done.

"W-was that-"

"Yes."

"That was disgusting. How do you drink that?"

"It's not disgusting when you're a vampire. It's more like a delicacy. Something that I have to constantly keep myself from taking from innocenct humans like you."

Well Beomgyu was terrified again.

But the laugh that came from Taehyun made him glare at him. "It's not funny when you say stuff like that. It's scary."

"Ah, Beomgyu. So adorable."

Beomgyu continued glaring at him as Taehyun wiped the blood off of the corner of his mouth with his thumb before licking it off. "Don't do that."

"What?"

"That. That's weird."

"You let a stranger lick alcohol off your chest." Beomgyu's eyes widened and Taehyun just shook his head. "Someone posted a video of it online. That was stupid of you."

Beomgyu looked down in shame, but then realized... "what I do is none of your business," he said.

How do they like it?
