Chapter 36: Meeting in Another Life

Y/N's POV

"Ugh..." your head was starting to spin as you started to realize that you had just once again, slept at the office again. Face-palming at your own self for sleeping so early when you should've been working, in term making the work slowly start to pile up, you fully started to open your eyes and once you did, you just couldn't not believe it.

Everything was done and organized, even signed with your own signature and everything. You could only stare in awe as you looked around your own office, that was now so different compared to how it looked like a couple of hours ago.

"How...how...?"

"You can thank Sunoo for that one." a recognizable voice suddenly spoke out, making you internally smirk at the thought of him standing next to you. You slowly turned around to face...

"Ni-ki, you should be at the jail cell, quarantining with the rest of your friends before we decide what to do with you...so then why are you here siting down next to me?" you slowly turned around to face him, a slick smile on your face, knowing fully well that he was there just to hang out with you, meaning that you were quickly gaining his trust.

"I told you, I was instructed to take care of you and plus, I'd take any excuse to get out of that stupid jail cell." your face quickly turned into a frown, while you looked at him with disappointed eyes.

"I thought you told me to despise you, to keep on hating you, then what's all of this?" you curiously asked, as he looked at you with the same face he had a day ago.

"I did, but I also told you that I couldn't stop myself from caring about you, didn't I?"

"You used to hate me, that I'm sure, but what I'm not sure of is how you changed your mind about me."

"You're right, I did hate you. Back at the masquerade, seeing you again with that god awful smirk of yours made the cup of blood, that I held in my hand, boil to the rim." he let out a small chuckle, finding amusement in his own joke, while you slightly rolled your eyes.

"The hatred that I had for you was unbearable; I didn't want you dead, I wanted you to finally understand the way that we feel and what we experience every single, for the rest of your eternity."

"And that would mean you wanted me to..." you slowly walked away from him, feeling a sudden guilty and scared feeling in you. All you wanted to do was to just run and get the hell out of there, but you just couldn't and you didn't even know why.

That was what was scaring you, the fact that you didn't have control over your own self.

What else did you not have control of?

"I wanted you to become one of us, that's how much I hated you."

The feeling of slowly going higher and higher, the stakes and the price of spiraling down that deadly rollercoaster slowly rising. And once the fall arrives, the whole world around falls alongside. You throughly believe in the fact that it will be fine, yet it never will.

That, was the emotions your head was feeling. 

"Oh..." he looked back at you with darkened eyes, each second suddenly becoming extremely precious to you, as his fangs could strike any minute now.

"What changed your mind?" you innocently asked, trying your best to not seem scared, but you were pretty sure that it wasn't really working out for you.

"Nothing should've changed, you're still the same as you have always been since I've seen you, but I have this hope inside of me, that things will be different."

"Unlike the others, I still have hope inside of me, meaning that I don't hate you that much."

"Ni-ki...have we met each other before? In this life or in another?" you randomly asked, completely ignoring what he was saying to ask such question and once you did...
