The Blood War

5: You've got me mesmerized

⌞ Loverboy - A-Wall ⌝

After we finished our meal, the best one I’ve ever had, Mingi and Yunho, as I had learned , took me upstairs to my room. They came in with me, giving me weird looks.

“Why did you lie?” Yunho asked me.

“W-w-what d-do you m-mean?”

“What did you see when you passed out?” he asked unimpressed, raising an eyebrow and taking a step closer to me.

My breath got stuck in my throat. I sat down. I explained shakily what I saw. Yunho sat next to me and started patting my back. I didn’t even realize when tears began falling from my glossy, storm-sky-colored globes down my rosy cheeks. He hugged me in his warm arms. I could hear the comforting beat of his heart. After a while, I fell asleep in his arms, feeling more safe than I ever had.


When I woke up, soft light was coming through the closed blinds. I had a blanket over me. I sat up and looked around. Was it all a dream? If so, it was the best one I’ve ever had.
Then I heard a knock at the door. The person came in. It was a short woman wearing an all-black outfit: a short pencil skirt and a cropped suit jacket over a button-up. She had bangs that made her face perfect.

“Wake up! Let’s get you dressed and down for breakfast. We will be having some nice guests over for the day.”

While she was talking, I noticed her lips were a beautiful shade of red, like roses. She walked to my massive closet and opened it. She looked around for a bit and then chose something I couldn’t see. She turned around.

“Try this on,” she told me smiling. “I think it will suit you well!”

I got up and took the item from her, walking to the bathroom of my room. I changed really fast since I’m not like other girls taking a long time getting ready. I took a second to admire myself in the mirror. The dress was a silky blue color, similar to my dark blue orbs. My hair fell perfectly around my face, giving me a fancy look.

I got out of the bathroom.

“The dress looks amazing on you! Do you have your ears pierced?”

“N-n-no?”

“Later, we should pierce them. They would look perfect on you! I love that necklace too,” she said pointing to the necklace my mom gave me.

“T-t-thank y-y-you. I-it’s from my mother…”

“She has great taste! Come here, let me tie your hair up.”

I sat down on the bed, her behind me. She slicked my blonde locks back and tied them in a low bun. She let a few strands fall loose around my cheeks.

“Can I do your makeup?” the woman asked.

“Y-yes,” I answered. I had never done my makeup before.

After I was done, I put on a pair of high heels, but I was still very short.

“Let’s go downstairs,” I was told.

We left the room and entered a large, roomy space in the house with several tables.

There, I saw him. The man who changed everything.
