Chapter 33
Blood
Soojung run to the bathroom for the 2nd time today.
She's been sick for a week now. She keeps throwing up whatever she eats. She will throw up in the morning and in the afternoon her headaches will come.
As she empty her stomach in the sink yet again, she made up her mind to visit the palace doctor later today. These sickness she's experiencing is starting to scare her.
"Soojung?"
A familiar voice called out from the living room.
Soojung gargles some water and wipes her mouth at the back of her hand and went out of the bathroom to face her visitor.
He smiles as she came out.
"Hey Princess."
Soojung smiles back. Minhyuk has a lovely smile.
"How are you feeling today?"
"Still a little sick. I just throw up my breakfast few seconds ago."
Minhyuk walks over to her and feels her forehead.
"But you're not running a fever. It could be an upset stomach. Here I bought some porridge and I got fruits too." he said as he pulls her towards the kitchen.
Soojung took a seat at the dining table as Minhyuk pours the porridge on a bowl.
"I know you don't like fruits but you need to eat them, okay. I think you don't have enough vitamins in your body that's why you're easily sick." he placed the bowl of porridge in front of her.
Soojung looks at it with disgust. The smell is making her stomach swirl again.
"I'll just take the fruits." she said, pinching her nose.
"You would rather eat fruits than porridge? Wow you really is sick." he said, placing the bag of fruits on the table.
Soojung immediately opens the bag and took out everything.
"Do you have mangoes?"
Minhyuk shook his head. "They're not in season."
Soojung made face and pouts. "But that's what I want."
He laughed. "I thought you don't eat mangoes?"
"I do now." she said. "You think you can find me a few? I want the ripe ones."
"Princess you can't find ripe mangoes in the middle of winter."
"But that's what I wan-" Soojung stopped. The porridge had done it's job.
As quickly as she can, she run out of the house. The garden is closer to her than the bathroom. She ran towards the tree and pours out what's left in her stomach.
She heard slow footsteps getting closer to her. She held out her hand to stop him. She don't want to see her mess. But the footsteps continues until he's just behind her.
"Why are you sick Soojung?"
The change of tone in his voice surprises her. It felt cold.
"I'm going at the doctors later." she's done vomiting but it made her dizzy. She put her hand at the tree to support her as she closes her eyes.
"Are you ..." Minhyuk took another step closer to her. "Are you pregnant?"
Soojung opens her eyes.
It's the question she's been thinking for a couple days now. It's her body, she doesn't need a doctor's note to notice the changes that's happening to her. It's also the reason why she refuse to see a doctor sooner.
This very thought scares her.
Her hand reaches to her belly. It's still flat but every time she will place her hand there, her heart starts racing and all she can think about is a face of a baby boy, smiling at her. The same face she saw in her dreams.
Minhyuk pulls Soojung to face him forcefully. Making Soojung close her eyes again. This is not helping in her dizziness.
"Answer me!"
She tries to break free from his tight grip. "Minhyuk let go of me. I'm still dizzy."
"Are you pregnant?!"
She looks into his eyes. His eyes are scaring her. It's so dark and fierce.
"I ... I-I d-don't know."
"But there's a possibility that you might be?"
Soojung looks down, avoiding his gaze.
Minhyuk's grip on her loosen until he had totally let go of her. "You mean ...you've done it with him ..." his voice is so low and his eyes were wide. He's talking to himself like a crazy person. "You mean you're not ....pure anymore ..."
Soojunng took a step back.
Minhyuk continues to whisper to himself. "You won't bleed anymore. No more blood.... No more blood. No bleeding... You can't bleed."
"Minhyuk what are you talking about? What are you saying? I don't understand." she puts her hand in his arm, shaking him a little.
It startled him. He turn his wide eyes at her and like a snap he grips her arms tightly again. "No blood!"
"Ouch Minhyuk you're hurting me! Let go!"
"Not pure. No blood. No blood."
"Aw! I don't know what you're talking about! Minhyuk stop it!"
And he did. His eyes went back to normal size but then an evil smile form at the corner of his lips. "Of course there would be another way to make you bleed."
And in split second Minhyuk slashed Soojung's arm with a knife. Soojung wasn't able to avoid his attack since she's still dizzy and sick. Her hand went to cover the cut he had made in her arm.
She looks up at him with wide eyes. Can't believe on what's happening.
Minhyuk puts the knife with still her blood on in his mouth. He licks the blood, moaning.
"As I've thought, you have the sweetest blood of them all, Princess."
*88*
Sorry for making Minhyuk the villain. I don't really know him I just saw that he was Krystal's love interest at The Heirs so I figured why not use him. Anyway two more chapters until Serendipity ends and I'm already working on a new story.
Heart. Heart. :)
