NARI

It's been a while since we had the talk.
It's been a while since my anxiety slowly creeped back up and started to ruin my life once again.

All the answers that I got couldn't leave my mind, driving me insane, eating me from the inside out.

Currently I'm sitting on my couch, not being able to concentrate even on my cup of hot tea. Hot steam filled the air while I stared at a single spot, zoning out in the middle of the night.

It's what I noticed myself doing quite a handful of times.

What was I gonna do? I can't do anything about it, I'm already involved in this world I had no idea about.

This isn't good at all.

And here I am, in this other universe, clueless, confused and scared.

Very scared.

I'm only human, you know? Knowing that there's vampires, ghosts and whatever else is out there creeps the hell out of me.

While thinking how my death will roll in one day, a soft knock echoed across my small apartment, making me jump and spill my tea on my thighs.

I hissed at the pain and focused on who was knocking at my door at 3am.

Wait, isn't it devil's hour? Shit.

Slowly tip-toeing over to my door, obviously turning every single light on and trying to not die at this moment.

Looking through the peephole, I sighed out of relievement and got goosebumps at the same time.

Not noticing my "fancy" outfit, I opened the door to reveal a lean figure, holding a white bag from a local market that is open 24/7.

"W-what are you doing here? It's 3am, Taehyung", I furrowed my brows and he just brightly smiled.

He was so intimidating. Knowing that he's so dangerous, don't blame me for being afraid.

"Can you invite me in?" He softly spoke, almost whispering.

"Huh? What? No!" I shook my head, slightly closing the door.

"You're trembling, Nari-ah" He placed his hand on the door knob, making it impossible for me to close and lock the door for an escape plan.

"What do you want?" I sighed, moving my hand away from the inner door knob for them to find a way on my chest, crossing.

"You're unwell. You're stressed. You're anxious. You're not well fed. You're not well taken care of. So let me in and let me take care of you. It's a command" He sighed, his brown eyes glistening under the moonlight which reflects on the windows of the corridor.

I was at a loss for words and just let him come in with no comments.

Flopping on my couch I rested my head and closed my eyes, hoping he wouldn't come near.

But he did. His hands went up to my forehead, "You're sick too. Why didn't you call anyone, Nari-ah?", the way my name rolled off his tongue was so beautiful, not gonna lie.

"I'm fine, I just need some rest" I gently breathed out and fixed my position, laying on the side.

"I'll take care of you" He mumbled before making his way into my kitchen, noises of fumbling with the plastic bag and other things, seeming like food.

"Why do you even care about me, Taehyung-ah?" I whispered to myself, just to facepalm, knowing that he definitely heard me.

He's a 3000 year old vampire after all.
