XIX

   I only met Jungkook again in the bedroom. I was already laying in the bed and trying to sleep. He took off his clothes and then laid beside me.
   -Hey- he said- were you sleeping?
   -No. I was just thinking.
   -About what?
   -I don't know. I miss my father and my mother.
   -I know how you feel. You'll get used to it. I miss my parents too...- he seemed sad.
   -What happened to them?- I asked.
   -They died. Because they were old and humans- he stopped for a bit- I heard you need new dresses and winter clothes.
   -Yes but I don't want to worry you. I know you have a lot of things to do.
   -Foolish! Yes I'm busy but you'll go buy new clothes- he held my hand in the dark- I'll ask Chen. He's probably the only vampire I trust in here.
   -Thank you, Jungkook- I said.
   -You welcome, baby- he said and kissed my forehead.

   As he said, Chen was outside waiting for me in a carriage.
   -Good morning, miss Charlotte- he said and bowed.
   -Good morning, Chen.
   The carriage took us to a village with a lot of stores. There were vampires everywhere but I wasn't afraid because of what Jungkook said: "He's one of the strongest vampires in our kingdom." And if he trust Chen, I believe he will protect me too.
   We entered in one store with a lot of dresses. I started walking around and looking at all of them.
   -Do you like any?- Chen asked.
   -Yes, this one- I pointed to a dark blue dress- but I'd like to try it first.
   The vampire that was in that store showed me a room and said I could try the dress in there. I took off my dress. I don't wear corsets in here. Only in the balls and parties. Thank God, I feel so much better without using it.
   The dress fit perfectly. It was very warm and pretty. In the little room there was a full body mirror.
   -Can I come in?- I heard Chen's voice asking.
   -Yeah, sure- I said.
   -The owner asked if you'd like shoes- he said holding thee back boxes- the dress is pretty.
   -Thanks- I said.
   I opened one box and I took the boots that were inside. Its details were really pretty. I took off my shoes and looked for a chair or a sofa to sit. There wasn't any. I was going to sit on the floor but Chen grabbed the boots from my hands and knelt on the floor. He put me the shoes. They fit well. I blushed a bit but then looked at my reflection.
   -Do you like it?- he asked with the same serious voice and expression.
   When we came back to the palace we had bought five dresses and three pairs of shoes.
   We had spent the all night out. I was quite tired when we arrived. I asked Ashley and Summer if they could get me some food and bring it to the library. After I ate and read a bit, I decided to go to the room to sleep.
   I probably mistook the way upstairs because I found a new corridor I've never been at. It was beautiful just like the rest of the castle. There was nobody in there. It was really late. The sun was appearing. I could see it through a window in there. I was in the first floor.
   I heard something. It was music. Someone was playing piano. I recognized the melody because -I believe it was Yoongi- used to play it all the time when we were younger. He used to play it in the winter when it was raining and cold outside.
   I followed the music and finally found a door. It was half closed half opened. I looked inside. It was an empty white room with only a chair, a window and a piano. A man was sitting in front of the piano playing it. It was Chen. He was playing with his eyes closed. He plays very well.
   I walked in very carefully not to make noises. I felt tears falling from my eyes. It was nostalgic. I missed the times when we were all together in family.
   I cleaned the tears and moved my foot which made a noise on the floor. Chen stopped playing and looked at me.
   -I'm so sorry- I said still with tears in my eyes- you play very well!
   -How did you find this room?- he asked still sitting in front of the white piano.
   -I don't know. I think I lost myself- I laughed with embarrassing.
   -And why are you crying?- he asked again.
   -Oh, it's nothing and I got to go actually- I turned around to the door and Chen was there.
   -Not everyone can find this room- he looked me in the eyes- then I'm curious about your tears.
   -It's just- I looked at the floor to avoid eye contact- this song is quite nostalgic but it's nothing- I cleaned the tears again.
   -Do you know this song?- he asked.
   -Yes, my brother used to play this song to me all the time when I was a child so it has a special meaning.
   -I love this song. It was my father who taught me. And I also used to play it to my two little sisters. They loved it!
   -Then it has a special meaning for you too- I said and he smiled.
   -Yes. Well you should go now. It's too late and you're going to worry master Jungkook if he doesn't find you- he said and opened the door.
   I walked back and as soon as I realized I was in the familiar corridors again.
