"Let's just say, that I marked you first before you are even aware of my existence."
Seulgi and Khali were quiet for a moment. Just the two of them staring at each other eye to eye.
Until...
"Jeez! Baby, what's with the serious face? I was just kidding, I don't even know if us humans can mark anyone." Seulgi laughed out loud and kissed Khali's cheek.
The dhampir is in no way amused at the human. She glared at Seulgi like she was really planning on executing the latter on the spot.
"Relax baby, let's sit somewhere okay? My headache is really killing me. And also both my hands hurt, because a certain someone really had this weird kink. Tsk tsk." Seulgi pouted her lips and grabbed the dhampir's hand then led the way to Khali's room.
Seulgi threw herself on the bed, laying down comfortably and tapped the space beside her.
Khali just stood at the side of the bed as she stared at Seulgi who doesn't seem to care about Khali's hostility.
"Sit down here Khali, I'll tell you what you wanted to know." Seulgi grinned, her eyes disappearing as her smile grew wider.
The dhampir just glared at her and pulled out the chair near her vanity mirror. She sat on it, facing Seulgi who just shrugged and laid on her side to face the dhampir.
"Or not... You can sit there then—"
"I am waiting Seulgi. Cut to the chase." Khali uttered, crossing her legs then resting her elbows on top her knee.
"Ah of course... Hmm... How do I do this? Ah!" Seulgi snapped her fingers.
"I was 13 years old back then, you know... Kids... They do a lot of stupid things because they're young and reckless... And sad. That's what I am."
Seulgi's POV
Kang Industries skyscraper, 2007...
"Come on Seulgi, you can do this." I said to myself, I closed my eyes and counted from one to ten.
1... 2... 3... 4... I kept on counting in my head, just because I was scared... Scared of falling.
I just found out that my mom is seriously ill, and she's dying while my dad... Well... He's a jerk. He had a lot of affairs with different women, including his secretary.
He's still blaming my mom for having a daughter instead of a son. Even in her deathbed, that's all he ever talked about. I grew up to the both of them always fighting, yelling at each other, throwing and breaking things whenever they talk, just because I was born. He said that I couldn't run a company because I'm a girl. If I would've been a son, he would've been proud of me. What an asshole.
My mom is on the verge of dying that day, she kept on asking me to call him because she wanted to see him before she dies.
So I did.
I tried on calling him, my mom went on a cardiac arrest twice but she kept on fighting for her life because she was waiting for my dad.
Imagine being a kid who barely knew anything about the world, trying to figure out what she should do during that situation. It was hard... My dad should've been the first person to be there, but he wasn't.
He wouldn't pick up my calls, and I want to grant my mom's last wish. So I left the hospital to look for my dad.
I was hoping that I can bring him there just in time. I was hoping that my mom wouldn't leave me without saying goodbye.
