Blood Bank

Chapter 9

I woke up an hour before it was time to land.

I had a chance to at least brush my teeth and wash my face before I had to buckle up again since we were landing.

When the jet had finally landed, we all rose from our seats and grabbed whatever bags we brought with us.

We were guided off the plane, and there was a car waiting for us at the airstrip. Other people came and grabbed our bags off the jet as Mr. Woo guided us to the car. He opened the door, and we all got inside the spacious vehicle.

Mr. Woo ended up driving the car, leaving San, Wooyoung, and I in the back seat. Due to the lean bodies, we all had more than enough space to sit back there. I didn't have to have my thighs pressed uncomfortably together, not to squash San's legs between Wooyoung and me.

I don't know why having our thighs touch every once in a while was almost making me want to squirm away. Maybe it's because whenever I touched him, I felt weird. Similar to a random shiver that gets you when you least expect when your cold.

I tried to ignore it as I stared out the window before I felt a hand tap me. I turned around to see San staring at me.

" Are you still tired? You've been zoning out for a while." He laughed as I remembered that those pills helped me understand his Korean.

" I'm just admiring the new views here." I lied as I went back to the window before quickly remembering that I would tell my family and friends when I landed here.

My phone is in my back pocket, so I leaned forward and to the side to get it, involuntarily moving closer to San's face as he watched me. I managed to get it and turned my phone off airplane mode. I quickly sent them their texts as San quietly glanced over at my phone without me knowing.

I put my phone back as I went back to staring out the window, not noticing how San observed me. He scanned over the amber eyes of yours, slowly looking down at the curves of your face until he stopped
at your full lips. He stopped himself as he leaned on Wooyoung, who loved the subtle affection. If he stared any longer, then you would have noticed.

After a relaxed drive, we were on the outskirts of the city of Seoul as Mr. Woo pulled into a parking garage. Mr. Woo opened the doors for us again, and we all exited the car one by one.

" We already prepared your new room, so I hope you like it," Wooyoung said eagerly as he finally spoke to me. He hasn't said a word to me until now since the run in last night.

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards the elevator, him pressing the button to bring it down to our floor. I looked back and seen San speaking to Mr. Woo once more before he got back in the car and drove somewhere else.

" Sanie ~~ Hurry up!" Wooyoung whined as the door opened and he pulled us in the elevator; San finally jogging over before the doors closed.

I was placed in between them this time as we rode the elevator up. I felt cramped being next to them; not because the elevator was small, but because it just came to my mind that I'm in a foreign country with two nonhuman species ( that I assume are vampires due to the eyes ) and no immediate help.

I controlled my breathing as San voice echoed through the elevator.

" Once we get to the floor, we'll show you your room and have an official discussion on what we would have you doing here. Okay?"

I nodded my head to let him know that I heard him.

Isn't that backwards? Why wouldn't you tell me that before you fly me to the other side of the world?

The elevator doors opened and San stepped out first to be a guide and I followed right after him. He walked up to a door, pressed a pin on the keypad to unlock the door; swinging the door open afterwards.

I walked inside to see a minimalistic colored apartment that had a lot of  white and grey tones with some green plants here and there. The living room was big enough for us all and the kitchen ambas a lot of room to work in.

" Your bedroom is this way." Wooyoung smiles as he grabbed your wrist and pulled you to the right. Having no choice but to follow him, you tried to keep up with him as he opened another door and pulled you in front to look at it.

" Tada! Do you like it?" He giggled as I looked around the room that followed the same color scheme as the living room but this time there were splashes of blue on the walls, blankets and pillows. The shade of blue looking quite appealing; grateful that they didn't go with a color like pink or yellow. Blue was a neutral color that you can't go wrong with.

" I really like it, if I'm being honest." I told him as I dropped my bag on the follow by the door and sat down on the bed. I looked out the window and seen a peaceful view of the city.

I felt the way Wooyoung stared at me before I turned back to him and he awkwardly coughed when I caught him.

" If your ready, San is waiting for us to go and have this talk." He said as he rubbed his neck and walked back out the hall; my body quickly following behind.

San was seated on the couch in the living room and Wooyoung quickly went to sit beside him, leaving for me to seat in the arm chair in front of them. San waited for me to get adjusted before speaking.

" So Amani, like we said earlier, you were hired to be our personal blood bank. Now I know hearing that sounds scary but let us explain." He started as he glanced over at Wooyoung; signaling for him to speak.

" We may call you our blood bank, but please don't think that will just bite you whenever we get a bit thirsty. We are actually really weak vampires in our den and for awhile we only survived off of animal blood. After an incident, our leader told us that we need to start drinking human blood to avoid the situation from our past."

I just sat there and listened as they continued. My fingers twiddling with each other.

" We aren't allowed to just drink from people around here because Seoul has very strict rules for nonhumans doing things with humans and the only way for us to help ourselves was the go through Simul. We just need a few drops of your blood a day and it will always be with your consent. I know it's too late for us to ask this of you now, but please help us out." San looked up at me and my breath hitched.

He gave me the most sincere eyes and something just told me that he didn't mean no harm. I looked over at Wooyoung and he held the same look as well.

I bit my lip as I thought about what they said. I can't really deny them since they have me here, but a few drops a day won't kill me. That's a small price for the money I get to send to my family. Maybe if I'm good enjoy, I can go visit them more often. But they could be lying to me but they don't look like they are...

I straightened my shoulders and took a deep breath; a sign of my resolve.  " As long as you don't make things uncomfortable for me or be utterly unfair, I'll agree to giving you a few drops a day." My voice sounding steady as I looked back up at them, watching genuine smiles appear on their faces.

Before I can blink, I felt warmth from both sides of me. They both had came and hugged me. " Thank you! This means a lot to us!" Wooyoung beamed as he nestled into my neck and it made me tense up; my body remembering what happened the last time he was by my neck. I wanted ask them to let me go when I felt the other's lip press lightly against my cheek.

" Wait what are you guys doing?" I managed to finally speak as they both pulled up from my body.

" I'm sorry. We are very affectionate people, so this is something that you have no choice but to endure." The blonde giggled as he went back to spot, daringly placing a kiss on my neck that almost made a sound leave my throat.

" Woo-ya. You'll make her uncomfortable if you continue this." San popped him in the back of his head, scolding him as he moved; this starting an argument.

I just sat there and watched as I slumped in the chair at the realization of it all.

I'll be dealing with this behavior every day...
