The Binder and her Vampire

Chapter 12

Many hours later and Bada had passed out, officially getting through the worst of what was happening in her body.

Minho laid next to her and carefully pulled her body into his arms. He brushed her hair back from her face and looked down at her. She looked peaceful despite what she was going through.

Minho missed her already even though she'd been right there the whole time. So he did what he could do. He held her in his arms and decided to just talk to her.

"Hey Bada. It's me." he whispered quietly in the silent room. He wasn't sure what else to say until it all just started coming out of his mouth like a stream of consciousness.

"Remember that first time I took you with me in the car? I just had some boring stuff to do, but you seemed so excited. We went grocery shopping and you were having so much fun. So amazed that there are stores that sold food like that. You were twirling down the frozen pizza aisle like it was your favorite place in the world." He paused, "That was the first day I felt a twinge of pain so small I almost ignored it...Sitting in that car with you...I wanted to just drive in circles or take the long way just so I could keep talking to you."

He smiled and kissed the top of her head before he kept going.

"I'm sorry you have to do this. I know you wanted all those normal experiences. I know you wanted to have a normal life. I still kinda feel like I took that from you. I know you had a choice, you could've said no." He felt tears start to burn at his eyes.

"When you're done with all this, you should make a list...I know this sounds stupid, but write down all the things you've ever wanted to do. I will do everything in my power to make those happen. I promise you. I want you to have fun, and wear the fancy dress you told me about. I want you to enjoy all those things you never got growing up. I want to help make up for what you were thrown into as a kid....You deserve all of the good in this world, every last bit." He wiped the tears from his eyes and silence surrounded them again.

"Relationships were always really hard for me, but it's all so easy with you. This beautiful girl walked into my life and now I can't imagine ever being afraid of how good it feels to be in love with you. Jihoon said you were the reason the others never worked. Because my soul only ever wanted you. I promise though, when this is all over I have some things planned. Tomorrow, Chan and Seungmin are moving your stuff into my room. It'll be OUR room, I hope that's ok. If there's anything you wanna change or paint, go for it. For once in your life you get to pick what you want."

"When you wake up, I'll explain why you smell so specific to me, but you'll have to tell me what my blood smells like to you. I'm curious. Mates have a specific smell, something comforting, safe, and recognizable." He explained.

"Most of all, it's only been a couple days, but one time with you was not nearly enough. I miss your warm skin against mine, I miss how you taste, I miss snuggling with you afterwards. That's saying a lot, cause I hated snuggling until you. Once was definitely not enough, baby." He said smiling.

Just as Minho was almost done, Jihoon came in to check on her. "how's she doing? Any shaking or mumbling?" Jihoon asked crouching down on Bada's side of the bed.

"Nope. She's smiling though." Minho smiled softly pulling away from her just enough the Jihoon could see.

Minho....

"Oh! Good! That's very good." He clapped his hands together and stood up. "Now—"

"Did you hear that?!" Minho asked suddenly staring at Jihoon.

I love you too

"That guy snoring next door? Yes he's quite good at it." Jihoon joked.

"Not Chan! Jihoon, she's talking to me!" Minho said smiling wide. "I can hear her talking to me."
