BloodBound Trinity

As the morning sun rose higher in the sky, the warmth seeped into the room, wrapping around Seonghwa like a cozy blanket. He stirred gently, the sound of San and Hongjoong’s soft breathing enveloping him in comfort. It felt safe to stay here, wrapped in their arms, but the warmth also coaxed him back to consciousness.

Seonghwa blinked his eyes open, taking in the sight of San and Hongjoong beside him. He felt a rush of affection for both of them, his heart swelling as he remembered how they had always been his safe haven, especially during moments of uncertainty.

Seonghwa: (murmuring) "Morning..."

San was the first to respond, a sleepy smile spreading across his face as he opened his eyes.

San: "Good morning, sleepyhead."

Hongjoong smiled down at Seonghwa, his fingers still gently combing through his hair.

Hongjoong: "Did you sleep well?"

Seonghwa nodded, feeling grateful for the peace of the night.

Seonghwa: "I did. Thanks to you both."

San chuckled, tightening his hold around them.

San: "Well, it looks like we’ll have to make this a regular thing. More cuddles and less stress."

Seonghwa laughed softly, but the reality of their situation lingered in the back of his mind.

Seonghwa: "I’m still worried about last night… what we talked about."

Hongjoong’s expression turned serious, and he shifted closer to Seonghwa, his gaze steady.

Hongjoong: "We’ll figure it out together. Whatever it is, we face it as a team."

San nodded in agreement, his expression resolute.

San: "You’re not alone in this, Hwa. We’ll protect you, no matter what comes our way."

Feeling comforted by their words, Seonghwa offered them a soft smile.

Seonghwa: "Thank you. I really don’t know what I’d do without you two."

Just then, a mischievous grin crossed San's face.

San: "How about we make today all about fun? Something to take our minds off things?"

Hongjoong raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

Hongjoong: "What did you have in mind?"

Seonghwa sat up a little straighter, curiosity piqued.

San: "I was thinking we could go to that café downtown. You know, the one with the cute outdoor seating? It’ll be fun, and we can enjoy the day together."

Seonghwa’s eyes lit up at the suggestion.

Seonghwa: "That sounds perfect! I’d love that."

Hongjoong smiled, clearly on board with the idea.

Hongjoong: "Alright then, let’s get ready."

They all climbed out of bed, the warmth of their earlier moment lingering in the air. As they got dressed, Seonghwa felt a renewed sense of energy wash over him. The idea of spending a carefree day with Hongjoong and San made him feel lighter, as if the burdens from the night before were finally lifting.

Once they were ready, the three vampires stepped outside into the fresh morning air. The sunlight felt warm against Seonghwa’s skin, a gentle reminder of the life they were embracing together.

As they made their way toward the café, they walked closely together, their hands brushing and intertwining. It was a simple gesture, but it reinforced the bond they shared, a silent promise of love and support amidst the uncertainties of their lives.

When they arrived at the café, they found a cozy spot on the patio, surrounded by flowers and the sounds of laughter from other patrons. They settled in, each of them ordering their favorite drinks, and soon found themselves lost in easy conversation and playful banter.

San: "So, Hwa, what do you think of the new vampire movie that just came out? I heard it’s terrible."

Seonghwa laughed, shaking his head.

Seonghwa: "You know I can’t watch those. They always get the details wrong!"

Hongjoong smirked, leaning in closer.

Hongjoong: "Oh, come on! It’s just for fun. Besides, it’s good to see how the world perceives us. Just imagine the outfits they’d give you!"

Seonghwa rolled his eyes, though he couldn’t help but smile at the thought.

Seonghwa: "As if I’d ever wear something like that!"

They laughed together, the sound ringing out joyfully, chasing away the remnants of anxiety from the night before. In that moment, surrounded by the warmth of each other’s presence, Seonghwa felt grateful for the life he had chosen.

No matter the darkness they faced, as long as they had each other, they would find a way through.
