"is this where we're staying?" i looked up at the beautiful house he brought us to. it was completely white and there was a pretty tree in the front

"yeah. it's only going to be the two of us for a while, so i decided to stay at a smaller estate" he intertwined our hands together, his other hand holding our bags
"it's pretty" i smiled softly
we had been on a plane for eleven hours and i was exhausted. on the other hand, seungcheol was completely fine, like he was unfazed by it
so far london had been slightly chilly, it felt nice to be back in this kind of weather. sometimes seoul would feel like this. reminded me of my young childhood, before life completely changed
before they left and before the girls in school started hitting. when my mind was pure and i wasn't broken by the world and by people. life was much simpler back then, so pure and innocent
but i don't want to go back to it. even though it was beautiful, i was kept in the dark about everything. about my family, about what they were, about what i am supposed to become if i turn or if i say something wrong. even though it was pure, it was full of lies
i decided that i'm not going to tell them. they shouldn't have to have that hanging over their heads like i am. i'm still afraid of saying the wrong thing and becoming selene
i sound like a hypocrite with this decision. they kept me in the dark my entire life and i was angry at them for it, but i understand what they were trying to do. they were trying to keep me away from seeing the pain and the monsters of the world, and i understand. that's what i'm trying to do for them
they're extremely old vampires that have pretty much seen everything and can do anything. it's silly to protect them from something like this
"we should head inside" he lightly squeezed my hand, taking me from my thoughts
he walked ahead of me opening the door for me. even though the outside looked small the inside was open and spacious, the smell of a new house surrounded me when i walked through the front door
before, i had always been so used to staying in large houses because there were fourteen of us living together, but being in a small house with only one other person felt more intimate, especially because it's seungcheol that i'm with
i like this feeling
it feels normal
"it's so pretty" i walked deeper into the house, walking into the kitchen that was right in front of the living room. the kitchen counters were completely white with the top being made of wood and at the top were also white. the floor was a black and white tile with a beautiful pattern and the windows over the counter looked out into the backyard; it was later in the after noon so sunlight was pouring out of the windows
