Sweet Blood

26 | Rumor

Is it just me or everyone really got their eyes on me, makes me feel like walking through the crowd as a well-known person.

No, I'm not.

I'm just a normal girl in this school. Normal girl: wish I could be more specific in that. I walked faster to my class, wanting to talk to my friends; they would know what's going on here.

"Is that her?"

As I hurriedly walk in my class, I bumped with one of my classmates: Bobby. "Sorry" I apologized. It was an accident but he glared at me as if his stare will penetrate me, brushing off his shoulder that I just bumped. "Disgusting"

"W-What?" My eyes widely opened as I muttered. He just left before I could ask something. A sudden flashback of when I was young played in my head; when I was young and scared.

"Jinhee!" The familiar voice approached me worriedly. "Are you okay?" She held my shoulders. I walked to my desk with her, asking the question while Jiyong is nowhere to be found.

"What's going on?"

Her expression changed to the sad one. What? Tell me. Why is everyone looking at me with that disgusting look. Why they stay away from me, like I'm a moster?

"There's a rumor spread about your true self. They knew you're a vampire" She pouted and was about to cry, not until Chaeyong and Lisa hugged her. Obviously, the two girls avoided my eyes like they're scared of me.

"H-How?" I questioned, looking down. It's the same feeling I felt a few years ago. My hands trembling, holding them together to stop making myself looking so terrified.

"He started it first. It's Jiyong" What?

I felt terrible. How could someone I trust the most can turn away from me? Someone I trust the most can betrayed me, ruining my life so easily; the person I still love.

"Kwon Jiyong, you're late"

I looked at the figure who just got in the class when the teacher already start teaching. "Sorry, sir"

He bowed before he walked to me, but stop when our eyes met. What with that eyes? It's neither hating nor loving, something in between. Both of us look away at the same time as he take his seat beside me quietly.

I need to talk to him. After everything we've done together, loving each other, how could he did this to me; spreading my secrets to the whole school. Do you have to? I thought breaking up with you already the worst. Do you really hate me that much?

Do I have the courage to ask? Someone like him? After how he acted when he met his sister's boyfriend? My hand still trembling, all I want to ask is: why?

"Hey, I want to talk to you" I told, asking him nicely only to get a cold gaze in return. He's ignoring me.

"Hey--"

"Don't touch me, you disgusting monster!!" He pushed my hand away instantly when my cold hand touched his skin, making me fell hard on the floor.

-Flashback-

"I love you"

"I love you too" I replied as our lips collided. I never felt this kind of happiness before. I just...like it.

-End-

With the lips that used to whisper 'I love you' to me, calling me a monster, loud enough to make the whole class staring at us.

Am I a monster to you? You used to call me beautiful.

"What the hell is wrong with you, dude!?" Hanbin came, pushing him against the wall to protect me. Jisoo helped me up as I only looked down.

"That's enough, Hanbin" I said softly yet he obeyed me like a good kid, stepping away from Jiyong. My heart hurted so bad, I can't barely talk. I didn't even realize that I'm crying until I saw my tears drop on the floor.

I looked at him for a while. There's a slightly worried in his eyes, a bit of regret. So stupid, if you want to hate me then hate me with all of your heart, forget about me.

Fuck, I'm so stupid for falling for you. I should stop myself before. That time everything seems beautiful. I had no idea our future would be like this.

I sat on the bench alone, facing the football field in front of me. With a heavy heart, I take out my toma-- No, enough with that. Everyone know it's blood.

"It's not your first time. You'll survive" I said to myself, forcing a smile.

Will I?

"That's her!!"

"Look at her! What is she drinking?"

"Human blood of course!! Eww, so disgusting!!"

"I can't believe she's really drinking that in front of us!"

"She must be crazy! Vampire like her shouldn't be at our school!"

I took a deep breath, my heart felt so heavy. I feel like sleeping all day, wishing not waking up on the next day. Why do I have to go through this?

"What are you doing here alone? Gosh, you looks so pathetic" A friend of my kind, ask from a good 2 metres. I wiped my tears, not wanting him to see this pathetic tears.

"You're the strongest girl I've ever met, Jinhee" He took a seat beside him. I don't know why he said that to this weak girl. I don't wanna know because I'm not.

I'm weak.

"What's he doing with her?"

"He's lost his mind! She will eat her!"

The students still spying on me through the class windows. "They are so noisy. Don't you think so? Should I stop them?"

Before I could answer, he already standing up and shouting at them.

"SON OF THE BITCH!! SHOW YOUR FACE AGAIN AND I'LL SUCK ALL OF YOUR BLOOD!!"

My eyes widened instantly, face palm-ing myself. "Why the fuck do you have to reveal yourself?" I asked in a low tone. He only smiled, "Because why not!"

You're so stupid, Hanbin. Stop being so-called hero.

[ Hanbin's POV ]

"SON OF A BITCH!! SHOW YOUR FACE AGAIN AND I'LL SUCK ALL OF YOUR BLOOD!!"

And they all ran away from my sight, only one stayed for a quite while: Jiyong, that asshole. I gave him a smirk.

You just made a biggest mistake of your life, Jiyong. Wait till I come to you.

"Why the fuck do you to have to reveal yourself?" I chuckled softly. You're worrying to much, Jinhee. It will be alright as long I'm with you.

"Because why not?"

No, it's because I don't want you to face this alone. We'll survive. Together.
