The star is mine (completed)

XII: Vampire

A/n: I have a whole love-hate relationship with this chapter I swear.

mostly hate...

I open my eyes in a bed that's not mine, blinking away the bright light of the sun shining through the window and I realize I'm alone.

I lift myself off of the bed, tiredly rubbing my hands over my face and I look around, seeing the room in daylight for the first time.

I notice a chair in a corner of the room, sweatpants and a white t-shirt neatly folded on top of it. I walk towards it and lift them up.

They're my size.

I put them on and carefully walk out of the bedroom, expecting to see San somewhere in the huge apartment but it's dead quiet. I take the time to look around. I can't help but wonder where San went and why he had to leave before I even woke up.

San's POV

My head is spinning in all that happened yesterday. I'm wondering if I really changed that much or am I just not that cruel after all?

Ever since I saw Wooyoung, I genuinely felt something for the first time since my childhood. I wonder how I managed to keep up the careless act so long and how my walls broke down so easily. And I wonder why Wooyoung trusted me.

Maybe he just wants my money, or maybe he's scared of what I'll do to him if he runs away or stops playing along to this love game.

The feeling truly disgusts me. It scares me that all of this might just have happened out of greed or fear, and deep down, I'm hating myself more than I usually do. Or I just can't pretend I don't anymore.

I do hate myself.

And I feel guilt.

I feel like I need to put my mind to something else or the emotions will consume me but all I can think about is one person, one face, one body, one voice and one pair of eyes.

'Jay!', I yell across the room.

His face appears behind the door frame a few seconds later.

'I want you to find out more about Wooyoung and his past.'

'Sure', he walks away.

Sometime later he comes in again, and I ask him if he's found anything.

'I have', he starts explaining it, 'He has a sister, but I don't think they're still in contact. His father left before he was born so he and his sister were both raised by their single mother'

I try to push away my feelings, but they become worse with every word he says.

'His mother remarried and I'm not sure what happened, but I found out his stepdad was later arrested for child abuse'

The pieces all start to fall together and I tell Jay to get out, in a desperate attempt to keep my tears a secret, but my voice cracks trying to force it.

Jay's face changes, his eyes widening the first time he's ever seen me show any emotion at all, but he follows my order and turns his back to me to walk away.

I'm left a complete mess.

My head is on the table and tears are landing on the cold marble thinking about our first conversation where I lied. I knew everything about him just to be able to threaten him while I knew nothing about him at all.

He even asked me if I knew about his parents.

Wooyoung's POV

I come out of the bathroom I've spent ten minutes trying to find but my curiosity won't let me just leave without nosing around the apartment a bit more. I walk back to the bedroom and open the first door in sight, leading to a walk-in closet.

It's mostly just filled with suits but I pull open some more doors and drawers that reveal a large collection of leather straps, ropes and whips, even a gun in the bottom drawer and my jaw drops. I quickly close the door again and walk out but the image doesn't leave my mind.

I knew what kind of person he was, but somehow yesterday made me forget all of that. I can't leave faster, finding my phone still laying on the couch, grabbing it and storming out of the door.

I feel blind for trusting him, the whole game of love crumbling again in not more than a minute.

What was I thinking, yesterday? That he's actually a nice person? That he's actually in love with me? That he's not just trying to manipulate me to fuck him again?

There was just too much happening yesterday. He must've taken advantage of that. The adrenaline made me feel as if I was in love with him.
