Vampire Brothers

Chapter 17

Haneul stirred in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes. She looked around the room, realising that she's not in her own room.

She then saw Woozi sleeping on the couch. 

*Right, it's his room.* she got up and went to him.

She gazed at his sleeping face. *He looks like a baby. He may be cold and aggressive sometimes, but he really cares for others*, she thought. Her fingers gently reached out to touch his yellow-blonde hair. *He sure likes to change his hair color. Somehow, he looks good in any color,* she amazed.

Woozi stirred in his sleep, causing Haneul to quickly pull her hand away. "Done checking me out, princess?" Woozi asked, his eyes still closed.

Haneul looked at him in confusion. *Is he talking to me, or is he dreaming?*

Then Woozi opened his eyes.

Haneul gasped. "Sorry, oppa," she quickly apologized. Woozi reached out to touch her hair, "You've grown up so much, princess. Why do you have to grow up so fast?" he asked softly.
Haneul smiled. 

Woozi fixed his position and Haneul took a seat on the bed, facing Woozi.

"It feels like we've been getting closer these past few days, so I'm curious about what you thought of us before," Woozi suddenly said. 

Haneul smiled, "Nothing's change. You guys are still my guardian, people who I look up to, people who are like my brother." Woozi just smiled back, he's glad that nothing changed between them.

Soon, there was a knock on Woozi's door. Woozi turned to face it. "Come in," he called, and then Mingyu walked in.

"I smelled Haneul's scent in your room," Mingyu said before his eyes wonder every corner of the room. He then saw Haneul.

"Good morning" Haneul greeted him. "What are you doing in Woozi hyung's room, Haneul? Aren't you afraid of him crushing you with his guitar?" Mingyu teased.

"Yah! This brat," Woozi glared at him.

"Woozi oppa would only do that to you, Mingyu oppa. He wouldn't do that to me, right?" Haneul looked at Woozi.

"Of course, I wouldn't, princess. Why are you here anyway?" Woozi asked Mingyu.

Mingyu looked at Haneul, "I made your breakfast, princess. Let's go down and eat."

Haneul blinked at him in confusion. "What's wrong?" Mingyu asked.

"Aren't you supposed to be sleeping right now?" she asked.

"Hmm? Woozi hyung told you?" he asked. She nodded.

"I'll go to sleep after you eat your breakfast. Now, let's go down, princess," Mingyu urged her.
"Okay." Haneul got down from Woozi's bed.

"Thank you for letting me stay here, Woozi oppa," Haneul said with a smile. "Sorry about last night, Haneul," Woozi apologized.

"It's okay. I got to listen to your piano playing, so that makes up for it," Haneul smiled again before running towards Mingyu.

Mingyu closed the door to Woozi's room.

"What happened last night?" Mingyu asked Haneul.

"Woozi oppa threw his pencil case at my wall, and it surprised me, so I went to his room. That's how I ended up in his room this morning," Haneul explained.

"Woozi hyung is really good at everything, right?" Mingyu asked. Haneul nodded eagerly. "Oppa, you should go to sleep," Haneul said to Mingyu as they were about to go downstairs. "But what about you? I don't want you to be alone," Mingyu said.

Haneul smiled. "I'll be okay, oppa. Everyone else is sleeping, and you should too. I'm still human, so I should be alright even when the sun is up. But you—you should go to sleep," Haneul insisted.

Mingyu sighed, "Okay. But just call us if you need anything, okay?" Mingyu asked, and she nodded eagerly.

Mingyu turned to return to his room, but Haneul caught his wrist. He looked at her in confusion.
"Mingyu oppa, you know I love you, right?" Haneul looked up at him. Mingyu smiled and gently pulled her into his arms.

"I love you too, Haneul. We all love you. There's no one else we love more than you," Mingyu said. He then broke the hug and walked back to his room.

Haneul watched his back as he walked away before he disappeared into his room. She then walked downstairs and went into the kitchen. She was eating breakfast peacefully when someone suddenly strode into the kitchen.

Haneul looked up in surprise. "S.Coups oppa."

S.Coups looked at her furiously. He didn't say anything but grabbed her wrist. "You smell like other men," he said.

"What?" Haneul was terrified. She tried to pull her hand away, but S.Coups pulled her closer.
"Woozi... Kim Mingyu," he gritted his teeth, showing off his fangs. "You have their scent all over you. Explain!" S.Coups demanded.

Haneul stared at him in fear.

"Haneul!" S.Coups's voice was even sterner.

"I-I... slept in Woozi oppa's room last night. And just now, M-Mingyu oppa hugged me," she stammered.

"Anything else?" he asked, and she shook her head eagerly. S.Coups sighed before releasing her hand.

"What's your plan for today?" he asked. "I-I d-don't know yet," she stammered.

He looked at her and only then noticed that she was having breakfast. "Come to my reading room after you finish that," he said. Haneul nodded eagerly. With that, S.Coups walked out of the kitchen and went up to his reading room.

Haneul let out a relieved sigh. *What did I do now? *she thought before continuing to eat her breakfast.
