Euphoria

1 - unexpected visitor

The next few days are mostly uneventful.

Taehyung visits and shamelessly beats your ass at Mario Kart when he steals Seokjin's DS, only to have his older brother return and beat his ass in an act of revenge. Taehyung begs for rematches, and the amount of times Seokjin wins is alarming. That day, you learn that your roommate is surprisingly competitive when it comes to Mario, games, and Mario-related games.

You also meet up with college student Kim Namjoon, who has kindly volunteered to tutor you in math. In the span of your one hour-long session, Namjoon manages to misplace both his wallet and his phone while rambling on about trigonometry and Greek mathematician/philosophers. Thankfully, he finds both in the cafe booth you've been studying at. You bear him no offense, but you're glad for the distraction your new friend's disastrous luck and tendency to babble offers you, if only for a short while.

Even though he tries not to show it in front of you, you can tell that Seokjin is still suspicious about what happened - or rather, didn't happen - the other night. You shut your own worries down, telling yourself firmly he's better off not knowing. If he found out that you met a vampire, he'd flip out and pitch a fit, or have a heart attack. Perhaps he'd do both, and proceed to lock you in your room and never let you out without him being by your side. He's never been good with horror films, but again, neither have you.

The next time you find yourself alone, it's night-time again. All your friends are busy – most of your friends from school are already asleep or being insomniac gremlins; Taehyung is doing some last-minute studying for a test the next day; you're not desperate enough to contact Namjoon, and not familiar enough with him either; and surprisingly enough, Jin is on a date. Despite your initial irritation at him ditching your movie night, you're happy for him – he needs to get out more, and his good looks deserve much better than to go to waste with him being a bachelor for the rest of his life.

You sigh as you attempt to brush out the tangles in your damp hair, envying Seokjin's effortless beauty. No matter what he does, he's flat out gorgeous, and he knows it, even if nobody else notices. But you? You're not exactly society's image of 'drop dead gorgeous'. All your previous relationships have gone to shït, even though you will admit that it was not your fault. You glare at your reflection, and the girl in the fogged-up mirror glares right back at you.

You turn around, sick of looking at your messy, knotted hair – and scream.

There's a boy. In your bathroom. A boy with dazzling blue eyes and gleaming white canines, a boy that doesn't appear in the mirror. A boy that clearly can't be human, no matter how much his other features almost lull you into a false sense of security.

He grins. "Hi."

Did I mention the boy is in your bathroom? Had he arrived a few minutes earlier, you would've been naked.

You scream again, right in his face. It's the bloodsucker from several nights ago! You quiver upon realizing that his fangs are even sharper up close.

He cute though, the voice in your head supplies helpfully. It's not wrong.

He winces, immediately clamping a hand over your mouth. His skin is cold, cold as ice, whereas you are warm, face flushed with terror and mild embarrassment. Enclosing you in his arms, he carefully pulls you away from the mirror, setting you down on your bed. Your eyes are wide, brain frozen in fear, body unable to move of your own free will.

You seem a little less scared of him than he is of you as he pulls his hand away from your face, but reflexively presses a finger against your lips to shut off another scream from you. You go cross-eyed at the contact. Is he trying to kill you, or flirt with you?
