Eyes With Secrets

14

"Tae's also a vampire." I said.

"Yes. He is." Hwa replied.

"But Mun! She doesn't know! How can she-? I broke off mid-sentence.

"She knows, Hyun." Seonghwa said as calm as ever.

"Sh-she knows?!" I asked him. But I didn't need an answer.

"Yes. And she's fine with it."

"How can she date him? Doesn't she know it's dangerous?!" I cared for her too much. It was very obvious in my voice. My eyes started to swell up too.

"Don't you know it's dangerous?" Seonghwa asked me. He still had me pinned to the locker.

"I-."

"Hmm. You don't know how much they love each other. You're new here." Hwa said.

I didn't like it when he said I didn't know how much they loved each other. She was my friend. I felt sudden anger rising in me. How could he say that?

"Well, you don't know how much I love Jimin!" I lashed back at him. He loosened his grip on my wrists. He let go of me. I knew what had made him loosen the grip. I instantly felt guilty. I shouldn't have said that. Oh no.

"Uhm, we should, uh get to class." He said, disappointment clear in his voice. Oh no, I hurt him.

"We should." I replied. The anger hadn't left me, even though I felt guilty.

We walked into the classroom and Seonghwa went to his seat. 

He didn't speak a word after I had lashed out at him. I felt bad now. I would go apologize to him, after the class, I thought.

That was when I saw the empty seat right next to mine. Jimin hadn't reached the class yet. He might be running late. I went over to my seat and took out my book. Jimin would be here. 

Mr.Beomgyu entered the class and started teaching. Jimin still hadn't come to class. Was he avoiding me? Again? And that too by not coming to school? 

I couldn't concentrate in the class. I just wanted it to get over.I idly sat in the class, noting down a few notes and drawing on the edges of my book.  That was when it struck me. It was my BLOOD! He couldn't resist the smell of my blood! That was why he was avoiding me. I suddenly felt a bit better knowing. But then it dawned on me. What if we wouldn't be together because of the scent of my blood? What if he wouldn't be able to control his thirst around me? I felt a sudden fulsh of pain through my body. What if I wouldn't be able to see Jimin again? Oh no. 

I looked out the window. The sun was shining bright above the clouds. The trees were swaying slightly in the warm breeze. It was a beautiful day, but it wasn't complete without Jimin. I wanted to see him. I wanted to sit next to him. I wanted to hear his voice. His sweet, angelic voice. I wanted to observe his face. The deadly angle of his jawline. 

Right then, I was sure about three things. First, Jimin was a vampire. 

Second, there was a part of him, and I didn't know how strong that part was, that thirsted for my blood. 

And lastly, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
