Monster Blood 『박 성훈☑』

27||Together, We Live

The Alpha's princess was pacified by the Vampire's crown prince and victory will be obviously for the seven princes once they continue the war. Seon and his left troops has no choice but to back out once again.

The brothers immediately approached Sunghoon but he's still lying on Lia's lap. The thing is, the full moon is shining brightly down at them but Sunghoon is still there.

"Did you cut your wrist?" Jungwon asked as soon as he noticed Lia's bleeding hand.

She slowly nodded.

The brothers eyes widened.

"Then that means you broke the curse! Tell me,you don't truly love Sunghoon!" Jay scolded.

"Will I do it if I haven't loved him all along?"

"Lia! You'll die!" Jay added.

Lia lifted her gaze with her puffy eyes. "If I ask you, will you be able to let go of Sunghoon and Sunoo?"

"As long as I can, I will do it. What's wrong if I chose to save someone's life before mine? If I can't save my friend, then please let me save my world."

"But---" Jay cut himself off than to make a fight between them.

Lia slowly stood up and tried to walk. Her heart feels so light like the heaviest thing she's been bearing her whole life, disappeared.

Not even a step away, her world darkens. The only last thing she heard is her father's calling her name along with her friends.

"Lia looks pretty though."

"Hey stop it. That's Sunghoon's lady."

"I'm just adoring her. She's older than me anyway" Ni-ki frowned because of Jake.

Lia came back to her senses and heard their arguments. She slowly opened her eyes, recognizing her room.

"Oh! Noona is awake!" Ni-ki reported. Jake ran beside to check on her.

Ni-ki placed his eyes very near at her.

"Ah!" Ni-ki groaned in pain when Lia flicked his forehead.

"What do you mean noona!? Am I that old?" Lia annoyingly scolded him.

Jake chuckled aside upon seeing their bond.

She saw her wrist covered with white cloth very well. "How many days I haven't wake up?"

Ni-ki whose rubbing his hurting forehead looked at Jake.

"It's been three weeks."

Lia walked downstairs hoping to see Sunghoon well, as she can hear the rest playing joyfully outside along with Yoona.

As she opened the door, she saw Jungwon wearing his striped blue and white sweaterㅡthe gift she gave him years ago.

"You're awake?"

"Hmmm.... I didn't know that sweater still fits you."

"Well, I haven't grown that big."

Lia smiled as a response.

"By the way, where's Sunghoon?" she asked.

"I hope he's alive."

Jungwon scratched his nape and folded his mouth, "turn around."

She looked back and her eyes sparked when Sunghoon is at the backyard walking through her direction with a smile.

"MY FEET ARE SO LAZY!! CAN YOU BE THE ONE TO COME?!" Sunghoon yelled.

Lia scoffed yet she dashed down the balcony and ran into his arms. Sunghoon hugged her tightly, lifting her from the ground and made a little dance in the air.

"Good morning my lady" he greeted.

"Stop it!" she halted.

"But it's true."

He put her down again and looked into her eyes, "I'm glad to see you once again but seeing your wound makes me feel guilt" he apologized but not in a straight way.

Lia cupped his cheek, "don't regret anything, okay? I'd be in a great agony if I lose you too. You know,my only weakness is you" she replied and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Sunghoon's emotion are mixed. He's sad yet he can feel butterflies in the stomach.

In the balcony was the brothers and Yoona watching them together. Jay teared up because of joy for his brother however, everyone knows how will their path together will end.

Jay tilted his head when he heard Jake's sob.

"Are you crying because of joy too?"

Jake shook his head, "I'm crying because where in the world did 'my lady' went? Is she perhaps lost? Why isn't she coming yet? Being single is cool but being thrilled in someone else's love life is not funny anymore."

Jay tried not to laugh but he failed. Ni-ki whose beside him,elbowed his arm. He looked at his younger brother and he's trying his best not to laugh by folding his lips and shutting his eyes tight.

Jungwon walked away immediately then laughed by himself.

Meanwhile, Heeseung and Yoona took a break and decided to eat cream puffs.

On the middle of their snack,Yoona was unaware about the left butter on her lips.

She froze when Heeseung suddenly wiped it for her.

Her silence made the man wonder. He then looked away after realizing his action.

"W-well, that came out from nowhere. Y-you have b-butter in here" Heeseung tried to explain his side.

Yoona mischievously smiled.

She forcedly scattered the butter all over her lips then poked Heeseung.

"Hmm?"

"I have butter all over my mouth" Yoona said chuckling.

Heeseung's eyes widened as he start to heat up from toe to head. He nervously gulped finding it hard to face Yoona straight.

"What an eyesore" Jake uttered, going back inside the house.
