cherry red lips

it's been a month since wheein first made that deal with yongsun. she lies again and again to byulyi, telling her she's never able to track down this kim yongsun vampire. when in fact, yongsun is right next to her, talking to her like this wasn't part of the deal they made. wheein's smile falters, guilt settling in that she lied to byulyi. byulyi, her boss and her friend. and someone that she has definitely known for a longer time than yongsun. yet, she can never seem to find it in herself to turn yongsun in. kim yongsun, a vampire that is wanted for kidnapping and murder, among many other things. and wheein is in love with her.
is this the kind of person she has become? someone that loves a murderer?
"wheein?" yongsun is waving a hand in front of her face.
"unniewhyareyouwantedformurder?" wheein lets the words slip out of her mouth before she can stop them. realising what she has just said out loud, her eyes widen in fear, slapping her hand over her mouth as if that could turn back time and take back all the words she said. she's going to kill me now, isn't she? shit shit shit, jung wheein, you dumbass! why would you say that out loud?! wheein slaps herself mentally. "uh-uh-i mean-" she gulps nervously, her eyes blinking rapidly. yongsun sighs softly, looking down at her hands.
"i guess i should've expected this. after all, you were supposed to hunt me down,"
"y-you're not angry?"
"no. i'm afraid,"
"b-but why? i thought you were going to k-kill me,"
"because i don't want you to see me differently after i tell you. because i was young and foolish, i wasn't the person i am today. i would never kill you, wheein. i haven't hurt a single human since..." yongsun closes her eyes, pushing the bad memories away. she inhales deeply, then she starts to tell wheein her story.

red. everything was red, the noise in her mind was so loud, the blood rushing past her ears. she couldn't hear anything, couldn't see anything except the woman in front of her, which her messed up brain was telling her to kill. she couldn't feel anything apart from rage. so much anger and rage. she feels tears start to fall from her eyes, but she knows enough to know that those tears don't mean anything. she's cried too many times that these tears mean nothing to her. all she knew in that moment was to hurt.
"you-" she punches the woman, her fist colliding solidly with the soft skin on her cheek. "liar-" her other arm lashes out, already forming a bruise on the woman's other cheek. "how-" she grabs the woman by her shoulders. "could-" shaking the woman vigorously, she feels her energy draining but she doesn't care. "you!" she shoves the woman back, hard and fast with all her remaining energy. the brown-haired woman crashes into the wall, leaving a dent in the wall. she lets yongsun continue to hurt her with half-hearted slaps on her arm, tears streaming down her perfect face.

moon byulyi watches with no emotion as kim yongsun hurts her repeatedly. she stares at the woman she once loved, her face void of emotion, her jaw clenched tight, her hands curled into tight fists. yongsun is kneeling on the floor, too hurt to do anything else. byulyi sees the tears in her eyes even though her head is hung low, she sees the hurt yongsun feels. she feels the pain yongsun feels. but she doesn't help her up. byulyi stalks away from yongsun, even though every part of her body aches from what yongsun had done to her. a normal person probably wouldn't have survived this beating, but byulyi was stronger than most. maybe even stronger than yongsun. byulyi leaves yongsun, a wreck on the floor, the broken pieces of glass from yongsun's attacks surrounding her. she walks away and doesn't look back, even though with every step she takes she feels herself slowly being torn into a million pieces.
she loved her. she still does, maybe. but she can't stay. not when yongsun is a vampire and she is a vampire hunter. they're bound to be separated sooner or later. byulyi figures it's best that she stops loving yongsun now before it's too late.

and two years later, yongsun is changed. before byulyi, she had done many other things. bad things she never wanted to think or talk about ever again.
she killed someone. she kidnapped a vampire hunter because she hated them to the core. she tortured the poor vampire hunter until he was almost dead. she bit a human. she did so many things, and she still doesn't know why she did them.
yongsun only remembers the rage that once used to consume her completely, leaving her senseless and seemingly unable to control herself from causing hurt to someone she hated.
