Chapter 19

"You did what?" Lucas exclaimed, almost spitting his water out. Jungwoo rolled his eyes.

"I walked out. His demands were ridiculous. I'm not going to break up with Sejung just because he wants to continue the bloodline. That's ridiculous." Jungwoo answered.

"So you admit that you two are dating." Lucas said with a smirk.

"That's not the point." Jungwoo mumbled.

"Mhmm." Lucas said just as Doyoung walked into the dinning hall. Lucas quickly waved him over.

"What are you idiots up to now?" Doyoung sighed as he took a seat.

"Rude." Jungwoo said.

"Hey hyung, I heard that you're a good friend of Jinsol noona." Lucas pointed out.

Doyoung nodded. "That's right, I am."

"Do you know why she's never leaving her house now? I wanted to see her but she refused to meet with me." Lucas asked.

...

"You're pregnant?" Jeno asked, astonished by the news his older sister and new brother-in-law had just informed him.

Jinsol nodded, Chanwoo standing behind her as she sat on the chair, his arms on her shoulders. "We didn't want to distract you since exams are starting soon but the bump is beginning to show."

"Wow. I just don't know what to say." Jeno admitted, not being able to help but start at his sister's growing stomach. Jinsol chuckled.

"It's okay Jeno. This just means that you'll be an uncle soon." Chanwoo said, patting the male on the back. Jeno's eyes widened.

"Uncle?"

...

Jisung was sulking in his room, something he found himself doing quite often these days.

He was certain, absolutely positive that he would not get rejected. But turns out the Jimin he thought he knew wasn't the same girl that stood before him that day.

Jisung heard a knock on the door and stayed silent, not wanting to answer. The person on the other side clearly knew what his intentions were as the door opened anyways.

"You can't just sit in here during your spare time." Renjun told the younger male.

"I'm doing work." Jisung said, motioning to the opened notebooks in front of him but Renjun knew better.

"Nari's been taking notes for you all week." Renjun said. "I'm one hundred percent sure that you're not actually doing work."

Jisung sighed, not wanting to lie to his hyung anymore.

"It hurts you know. I thought she..." Jisung's voice cracked and Renjun closed to door, moving closer to Jisung.

"I know it does." Renjun said, softly petting the boy's hair.

"It's heartbreak, heartbreak always hurts."

...

Seri looked up from her desk to check the time on the clock sitting on the wall. He's late.

The sound of the door opening made the girl snap her head. The head that poked out wasn't the one she was expecting though.

"He's still not here?" Han Seojin, General of the Royal Vampire Guard asked. Seri shook her head.

"Are you sure he's coming?" Seri asked. Seojin shrugged.

"He might have chickened out." Seojin told her. Seri rolled her eyes.
