Ch. 3: Silent Seduction

Asahi's heart pounded as he stared up at Jaehyuk. The cold fingers brushing his cheek sent chills through his body, but this time, there was no overwhelming fear-only a strange anticipation that he didn't fully understand. Jaehyuk's words echoed in his mind, reverberating in the silence of the room.

"You belong to me now."

The quiet between them was thick, heavy with something unspoken yet undeniable. Jaehyuk stood motionless, his intense gaze piercing through the mask, locking onto Asahi's eyes.

Asahi didn't look away this time. He couldn't. There was a pull between them, like the tension before a storm, something dark and magnetic.

Asahi swallowed hard, his voice barely a whisper as he finally spoke.

"Why me? Why do you keep coming back?"

Jaehyuk's glowing eyes softened behind the mask, his posture shifting slightly. He leaned closer, his presence filling the room with an even deeper intensity.

"You intrigue me, Asahi. You're different."

The word lingered in the air between them. Asahi didn't know how to feel about it. He was weaker than other boys his age, quieter, more reserved. In the world of the living, he was insignificant-a shadow among stronger, more vibrant people. But to Jaehyuk, an ancient entity, he was something more.

Asahi's breath quickened as Jaehyuk's hand cupped his jaw, the coldness of his touch making his skin tingle. Jaehyuk tilted his head down, his masked face hovering just inches away. Asahi's heart raced as he stared into the smooth, blank expression of the mask, knowing that beneath it was something far more dangerous, far more powerful.

And yet, he didn't pull away.

Without a word, Jaehyuk leaned in, pressing his lips against Asahi's. The mask shifted just enough to reveal a sliver of pale skin, allowing the kiss to happen. The kiss was cold-chilling even-but it sent a shock through Asahi's body, awakening something deep inside him that he hadn't known was there.

For a moment, time stopped. The world outside his window ceased to exist, and all that mattered was the touch of Jaehyuk's lips against his own.

Asahi's body responded before his mind could catch up, his hands gripping the bedsheets as he kissed back, the fear slowly dissolving into something more intense, more desperate.

Jaehyuk pulled back, just enough to look at Asahi, his eyes glowing with a mix of hunger and something that resembled amusement.

"You're not afraid anymore,"

He whispered, the coldness of his voice sending shivers down Asahi's spine.

Asahi blinked, his mind racing. He wasn't afraid-not in the way he had been before. His heart was still pounding, but it wasn't just out of fear. There was something darker swirling inside him, something he didn't fully understand. He stared at Jaehyuk, his voice trembling.

"I... don't know what to feel."

Jaehyuk's lips curved into a faint, eerie smile beneath the mask. "You'll learn."

Before Asahi could respond, Jaehyuk kissed him again, this time deeper, more possessive. The coldness of the kiss seeped into his very bones, but there was an odd warmth beneath it-a heat that built as their lips moved together. Asahi's body reacted instinctively, leaning into the kiss, his hands reaching up to clutch at Jaehyuk's cloak.

It wasn't just one kiss this time. Jaehyuk kissed him again and again, each kiss more intense, more demanding. Asahi's breath hitched as he felt the weight of Jaehyuk's power pressing down on him, a reminder that he was in the presence of something far beyond human. But he didn't push him away. He couldn't.

Jaehyuk pulled him closer, his hands sliding down Asahi's sides, his cold touch sending sparks through him. Asahi gasped into the kiss, his body trembling under the overwhelming sensation of being so close to something so dangerous, yet so captivating. His mind was a whirlwind of confusion, desire, and fear, all blending together into a chaotic storm.

When Jaehyuk finally pulled back, his glowing eyes were locked onto Asahi's, his hand still resting possessively on his cheek. The air between them was thick with the aftermath of their intimate exchange, the tension hanging in the room like a palpable force.

"You belong to me," Jaehyuk repeated softly, his voice low and commanding.

Asahi's heart raced, his mind struggling to comprehend the weight of those words. He knew he should be afraid-terrified, even-but there was something about the way Jaehyuk said it that made him feel... chosen. Desired.

"What does that mean?"

Asahi asked, his voice barely a whisper, still reeling from the intensity of their kisses.

Jaehyuk's eyes narrowed slightly, a dark smile playing at the edges of his lips beneath the mask.

"It means I'll come back for you. Again and again."

Asahi shivered, unsure whether it was from fear or something else entirely. He stared up at Jaehyuk, his chest rising and falling with shallow breaths. There was a part of him that wanted to push Jaehyuk away, to escape from this nightmare that had taken hold of his life.But there was another part-a part growing louder with each passing second-that wanted him to stay, that wanted more.

Jaehyuk stood slowly, his presence still looming over Asahi.

"Next time, I won't be so gentle"

he murmured, his voice laced with a dark promise.

Asahi's breath caught in his throat, the words sending a shock through him. He watched as Jaehyuk turned away, his cloak billowing behind him as he moved toward the window. But before he disappeared into the shadows, he glanced back at Asahi one last time, his eyes glowing beneath the mask.

"I'll see you soon."

And with that, he was gone, leaving Asahi alone in the room, the air still thick with the remnants of their encounter.

Asahi lay back on his bed, his heart still pounding, his mind a chaotic mess of emotions. The fear was still there, but it had shifted, mingling with something darker, something he didn't fully understand. He touched his lips, still tingling from the cold kisses they had shared, and felt a strange sense of anticipation building in his chest.

Jaehyuk would return. He knew that now.

And when he did, Asahi wasn't sure he'd be able to resist him.
