Chapter 8

**WARNING: MENTION OF RAPE.** 

Jangmi was woken up by her very own nightmare again. However, this time her room was still dark, telling her that the sun has yet to rise up. She sat up and let out a silent sigh as she wiped the beads of sweat that had formed on her forehead in her sleep. She suddenly felt the cold breeze coming from her window, making her frown. Her window had been opening on its own in the middle of the night.

It had always been like that and when she told Jin about it, he told her that maybe she had forgotten to close it the previous night. But she was sure that she did, in fact, close the window every night. She just let the window be, knowing that it’ll be opened again even when she closes it.

She was about to lie back down but she caught a glimpse of a dark figure at the corner of her room, near the vintage closet. She squinted her eyes to make sure that her eyes weren’t playing tricks on her. The figure suddenly moved making Jangmi tensed. “What are you doing here?” Jangmi asked, a little shocked when she saw that the dark figure was Jungkook. He made himself known, stepping out from the dark.

“You were having a nightmare.” Jungkook’s eyebrows creased, when he saw that some of her hair were matted with sweat. He had seen how Jangmi was tossing around the bed, mumbling incoherent words. She looked terrified in her sleep. He had seen her like that for days but he didn’t have it in him to approach her and comfort her, to wake her up from the nightmare she desperately wants to be woken up from.

But now, since she had found him out, might as well offer the comfort that he had always wanted to offer her.

Jangmi was slightly taken aback when she heard what he said. “Were you staring at me when I was sleeping?” She asked, suddenly feeling embarrassed and shy. Yes, shy. God, she was feeling shy in front of him.

“I was.” He said bluntly as he approached her. He sat on the edge of the bed and Jangmi frowned, realization dawned upon her.

“Were you the one who had been keeping the windows open?” She asked and Jungkook nodded, being honest. Jangmi gaped.

“How many times have you been in this room?” Jangmi asked, suddenly feeling very self-conscious. Jungkook simply gave a small smile, not answering the question verbally. It was enough to tell Jangmi that the amount of times she woke up with her windows opened, was the amount of times he had been to this room. Which meant the he had seen her sleep a lot of times. And this wasn’t the first time he had seen her have a nightmare.

Jangmi’s face flushed. She was glad that the room was fairly dark, so Jungkook won’t be able to see her face. That was what she thought but how wrong she was.

Vampires have night vision, and Jungkook was no exception. He saw how red Jangmi’s face was becoming and amusement danced in his eyes. “Come on. I’ll help you go to sleep.” Jungkook suddenly said and put his legs on the bed, preparing to lie down making Jangmi’s eyes widened, flustered.

“What are you doing?” Jangmi asked as he lay down, turning his body so that he was facing Jangmi.

“Helping you sleep. Come here.” He said and before Jangmi could even make a sound of protest, he pulled her arm, making her cheeks hit his cold hard chest. He wrapped his left arm around her shoulder, while his right around her waist, securing her body near his.

“Let me go.” Jangmi said, trying to struggle free but she knew it was a futile struggle. He’s a man, and she’s a woman. Not only was he a man, but he was a vampire. How can a woman, beat a vampire man in terms of strength? That was just impossible.
