-나는 그들의 것, 그들은 내 꺼야-

"i'm sorry you had to find out like this" he whispered in my ear

but... what did i even find out...

🌷

"m-mingyu, please let me go" i muttered out, my hands trembling. he pulled away and looked down at my trembling figure

"are you okay?" he asked me in a soft voice, "please, don't be afraid of us and just let us explain" he said. i looked up at his tear-stained eyes, "what is he?" i said under my breath

"he should be the one to explain that to you" he said. he brought his hand up to caress my cheek, but i flinched, and he backed away, hurt evident in his eyes

"why don't you come downstairs and eat, you said it yourself, you're hungry" he held one of my hands in his. i looked at the hand he held me with as if it would hurt me

"b-but... i'm afraid" i muttered as tears formed in my eyes, "they won't hurt you, i promise" he reassured me. "can you just tell me what he is. last night y-you said, 'let us explain' meaning it isn't j-just him. so please just tell me" i asked again, my voice stuttering and a tear leaving my eyes

he stayed silent as i looked at his hands, he let out a small sigh

i just want answers...

"we're um... we're" he couldn't even seem to say the words, he chuckled bitterly as he rubbed his eyes for a moment

"this is the first time i can't say the damn words. i've been this monster for centuries and this is the first time i'm ashamed to say what i am" he chuckled, but there was no amusement in his words

i looked up at him with rounded eyes, centuries?!

"m-monster?" i muttered out in shock

"i've been alive for almost seven hundred years areum. we're immortal beings" he said in a calm voice

"w-what" i backed away from him trembling in fear

"we're vampires... all thirteen of us" he said with a serious expression on his face

"that's why the girl was bleeding on the floor and why jeonghan had blood on his lips" he explained, "i-is the woman okay?" i muttered, horrified at what i had just discovered

"yeah, we healed her, and she won't remember what happened" he said

"how do you know she won't remember w-what happened to her?" i held my hands near my chest, feeling a strange pain over my heart

it wasn't a physical pain, but i felt like my heart was being ripped to pieces. my whole life has been a lie. they're bloodsucking monsters, they've killed thousands of people probably. but... are they still the same people i know?

i've been with them my entire life and never have they done anything to harm me. they've treated me with kindness, and they care for me deeply

"we compelled her to forget that anything happened. we made her believe that she drank until she blacked out" he said, stepping closer to me

"c-compelled her? h-have you ever done that to me?" i mumbled at his words and i looked up at him with horrified eyes

"no, we haven't. after a while of having you here at the house, we vowed that we would never compel you and we never have" he reached out to hold my hands again and he placed my hands over his heart

i could feel his heart beating in his chest

"areum, we're still the same people you know. even though we have killed people we have never enjoyed it" he said as genuinely as he could, "we were forced to become these monsters, it wasn't our will. we never wanted this. and we're too scared to kill ourselves so we continued existing and living in this horrible world, being forced to kill to survive and because our bloodlust sometimes controls us, and we can't do much about it" he explained. i could see a few tears in his eyes as he recalls the past
