Nightmare

Chapter 9

By week 4, your stitches had fully healed, but you still had to be careful to not aggravate the new, sensitive skin over the wounds. You, however, were very bad at remembering this which caused the five vampires to have heart attacks every hour. Well, not heart attacks cause they don't have functioning ones. Panic attacks might be a better term.

"I swear to all the gods in the fucking universe Sol!" Soobin shoots from his spot on the ground. "Get out of that damn tree!"

"No!"

"Sol, it'd be best to listen to Binnie," Yeonjun calls, patting Soobin's back. "Or one of us is going to have to come up there."

You roll your eyes, sticking your tongue out. "I'd like to see you try."

"You're going to hurt yourself," Soobin groans. "Please just get down."

"I am not going to hurt myself. It didn't hurt at all to get up here!"

"We just don't want you getting hurt anymore," Yeonjun tries to reason.

The other three vampires are watching from behind the two oldest, amused.

"I won't," you huff. "I'm not a child. I can climb a tree safely. Plus, I can see so much up here. It's gorgeous!"

"I'm gonna send someone up there to get your ass down," Soobin threatens, glaring at you without any actually fire behind it.

"No you won't."

Soobin turns to Yeonjun and motion towards you. Yeonjun nods, immediately going over to the tree and climbing up. You watch with your mouth agape as he scales the tree in under 30 seconds.

"Okay Sunshine," Yeonjun mumbles. "Time to go down."

"N-"

You are cut off when he picks you up, cradles you close and simply jumps down from the limb you were on. He lands easily, not letting go of you immediately.

"Holy shit," you breathe, moving back in his grip a bit to look at him. "How did you?"

Yeonjun chuckles at your expression. "Vampire, remember?"

Your eyes widen, almost embarrassed. "Oh, right."

He throws his head back, laughing harder because of your response. You look away from him, catching sight of the other four behind him. Realizing you are still in Yeonjun's arms, you expect to see some form of jealously covering their features, but you don't find it. All you see are soft smiles and admiring gazes. Your face heats up, and you nudge Yeonjun.

"You can set me down," you mutter, still not looking at him. "I'm safe on the ground."

"Maybe I want to keep holding you," Yeonjun jokes, a smirk building on his lips.

You groan, shoving his chest. Yeonjun relents with a laugh, setting you down and moving back a step. Before you can back up too much, arms wrap around you and pull you back into a chest.

"Yeonie needs to learn to share," you can hear the mock pout in Beomgyu's voice. "I want to hold you too."

You cover your face with your hands, screaming silently into them. Beomgyu just giggles, squeezing your waist for a moment before letting go.

"You're too cute Sol."

You drop your hands, looking at him incredulously. "What has gotten into you? You and Yeonjun?"

"We are affectionate with people we like," Beomgyu shrugs. "You fall under that category now."

"Oh," you pause, surprised. "Well I'm glad you like me then."
