-나는 그들의 것, 그들은 내 꺼야-

-soonyoung's pov-

it's thundering really loud, i hope areum's okay, i thought to myself as i sat awake in my bed, staring at the furniture in front of me, "i should check up on her" i told myself

even when she was a baby, whenever it thundered, she would cry like there's no tomorrow. i would always be the one to comfort her when ever she feels afraid. the others were also there but most of the time i was the one comforting her

so, whenever there is a thunderstorm, she comes to my room or i go to hers. it's an unspoken thing between us, whenever it's thundering, i'm the one she goes to

but tonight, she hasn't come yet. it's been an hour since it started, and she still hasn't entered my bedroom and i was beginning to get worried about her

i stood up from my comfortable bed and started walking out the door, making sure to bring an extra pillow with me

she must be freezing. it november and we don't generally use the ac during that time so the temperature that's outside is the one that we feel inside. for us it doesn't bother us because we're used to cold temperatures from the time we lived in much colder areas, but she's still young and she's generally a very fragile person

areum has always been weak when it comes to getting sick. she gets ill quite easily and that's something that's always worried me. but at the same time, she's endured years of abuse from that brat in her school

when jun came to us and told us what was happening to her in school, i was furious. i wanted to rip that bitch's head off. generally, i don't like violence but when it comes to areum, i would do anything to protect her. anything

i slightly knocked on her door, hoping not to scare her too much

but when i knocked the door cracked open the slightest bit, it revealed her room was empty and her blanket wasn't on her bed

"where is she?" i muttered with a confused expression

i walked in and looked around, panic rising in me. "areum?" i called out

calm down soonyoung, she's probably somewhere else. she's fine. i tried to calm myself down by taking deep breathes and walking out her room

i looked at both ends of the hallway; it was dark, and it created a gloomy atmosphere

reminds me of my youth when i couldn't stand the darkness. i hated it, it made me feel unsafe and it created fear in me. even when i was a vampire in my early fledgling days, when i was a powerful vampire, i was still afraid of the darkness

call me foolish or whatever you want, but i hate the darkness

but after a few years, when i realized i could protect myself, when i realized i was dangerous, that fear disappeared from my mind

now i just don't like it

times were different back then. back then it felt like you were in constant danger from bandits of the night. but when i became easy to kill them things changed. i used to be afraid of them, but they became afraid of me...

i walked near seungcheol's room, almost passing it by; but when i heard voices, i stopped in my tracks

there were two people in there. i wasn't going to pry and try to open the door and be nosy, but when i realized it was areum's voice i got a little angry and betrayed

i thought i was the one you always went to...

i could barely make out what they were saying, but i could make out some things that they were saying
