Chapter 37: Conversations With The Mind

His face slowly fell as he looked at you with fearful eyes, looking back towards the door that stood behind you. You turned around to find absolutely nothing, as you wondered what the hell happened to him.

"I just feel like we've met before and especially with how every single one of you guys keep acting like you know me too well, like if you know me better than me, myself!!"

"Are you seven keeping something away from me?" you continued, as he then started to deny everything you were saying, making you even more suspicious.

"No, don't say that!! They're coming because of you, all thanks to you!!"

"Ni-ki, what the f*ck are you saying?! Who are coming because of me?!"

"Don't speak about the things you can't accept." a voice inside of you spoke out and what was a bit odd was the fact that it sounded nothing like your interior voice.

The two doors then sprang open right before those words were being told, making both of you jump from your seats at the sight of the rest of the vampires.

"Sunghoon...it's not what it looks like!! I promise I wasn't going to do anything to them!!" the cold, fierce look that he gave you two made you freeze in position.

"Oh okay so now everyone thinks that they can just barge into my office like if they own the place?! I'm not sure if that's how your little gang here enter to places on the regular, but that's not how it works!!"

"Jay...you heard it, right? Tell them it's not true!! Tell them it's not what it looks like!!" Ni-ki begged and begged, yet he wouldn't say a word, only ignoring him and looking directly at you.

"You've tainted him, why?" the manly voice spoke out again, confusing you again, as you looked around the room, but no one was talking to you.

"God? Are you here to take me?! About time...but you could've done it sooner you know." you thought, while looking up towards the sky.

"No dumbas*, I'm literally the one who's standing next to you." you immediately turned towards the side, only to find Jay, the only one who was standing next to yo, strangely looking directly at you, with a expressionless face.

"Oh, so that's what you do...interesting." he rolled his eyes, then watching as the rest were over there bickering over whatever they were upset with.

"You know exactly what will happen if you get too close to them." Jungwon scolded, while looking directly at you, as you noticed how differently he acted around you at the party.

Everyone that night acted so differently around you, yet Sunghoon was the only one who was exactly the same.

Cold-hearted and ruthless, that was all he was.

"Ni-ki, what's going on?" you seriously asked, but instead of answering back to you, he decided to just ignore you completely, focusing his attention onto the rest of his kind, leaving you there absolutely clueless and terrified in the fact of any of your teammates catching you hanging out with these murderers.

But it wasn't your fault, it wasn't like you wanted them to come in the first place!!

"But why do we have to keep on hating them?! Why do we have to keep on waiting for the day strike?! Everyone tells me to do things without ever giving me a reason"

"You tell me to hate them, yet I can't even find a reason to hate them anymore." a thankful smile slowly appeared on your face, feeling a bit sorry for the way you had been acting around them.

Maybe he wasn't so bad as you originally thought...no, he still killed people.

You shouldn't get attached to murderers.

"People change, maybe this time, it won't be so bad!!" as soon as he said those words, Sunoo let out a loud scoff, taking you aback.

"Do you really want to believe that?"

"You won't stop until you get what you want, but does it really have to go towards this point?" Jay suddenly spoke, catching you off-guard again.

"Does it have go towards the point of breaking us apart for your own personal entertainment?"

"You brought this upon yourself, you should've stopped when I begged you to leave Siyeon's body alone."

"Entering my life was a grand mistake from your part, if you never gave me that f*cking invitation, we could've survived as two complete strangers, but now my only reason to live is you seven."

"You were right, I shouldn't die just yet, I don't want to die without a fight."

"But I'll promise you this Jay, I won't ever die in any of your hands."

"I'll go to hell whenever I'll f*cking feel like it."

"Y/N." a voice called out for you from behind you, interrupting the conversation you were having with Jay. You turned around only to meet eyes with Sunghoon and once you did, a shiver went down your back, as he looked at you with cold-looking eyes.

For a split second, the memories of what happened at that party replayed in your head, giving you this sick, fluttering feeling in your stomach, one that you had never felt before.

He started to move closer and closer to you, which made you nervous yet excited you at the same time.

"I'm sorry, but it's safer this way, for all of us." the assuredness in his voice caught you completely off guard, while he was saying such disturbing words.

"What?! What are you trying to say?! What do you mean by-" that was when your world went completely dark, yet you were still completely aware.

"I won't do anything to you, just stay quiet."
