I have never thought flying would be so fun. I rarely transform to a bat, because I'm always busy with my early studies and I love my human form more than my bat form, obviously. I transform to a bat only when I needed to.

Like the night before I came to the academy, I transform to a bat to find Yeonjun. I put my focus on looking for him rather than enjoying the flight. Even on my way back to the room, I thought of him. So I never really find the bright sparks in flying.

That was the first time someone else ever brought me flying not to learn, or to look for something, or to know what my bat form looked like. But to have fun, feel the wind brushing my skin and blowing my hair that It fly around. To relax, forget about all the things on your shoulder.

Yes, Ong could fly. Without having to transform. Which I think is really cool. Plus it's my first time meeting an undead who could fly. Them with this ability has little population. They're not rare, just uncommon.

We then sat on a high tree bark, enjoying the sunset view. The sun that slowly starts to feel tired and gives its duty to the moon and the stars. As it is going to its bed, the sky turned to a beautiful pinkish orange color. And I'm lucky there are some small creatures I found at that tree, so I don't have to look for another prey.

I am not hungry, but at least I enjoyed eating my food.

We talked a little bit about this and that. And I just knew that Ong is actually pretty funny and cheerful. He could lite up my mood and drown me to his jokes and words, that I forget about everything that causes me feeling dizzy.

I knew that he's a vampire, and he probably knew I'm a vampire too. But he never really asks. He did that not because he want to brag that he already knew, but to make me comfortable and relax when I'm around him. Something like 'let's be friends without knowing each other's status'.

No wonder why he's the best student in his academic generation. He's brilliant in almost all kinds of way. Humble, friendly, smart, and ridiculously funny. I adore him for that.

It's been a while since I actually enjoyed my free time, with a new friend. And my first ever vampire friend. All this time ever since I stepped in the academy, I'm always surrounded by werewolves. My roommates, the undeads that sat around me, the principal, Yeonjun.

Ugh, I forgot about him. Now that I just mentioned his name, I remember him. His acts, the way he talks, what he had done. Such a shame, I was just enjoying myself, but I guess it's only for a short period of time.

I tried to put my focus back to the book I was borrowed from the library. I borrowed several books, but know I want to clear my mind. So I'm just going to read a fiction novel. If I read the book about mates that I borrowed, I would probably ended up thinking about him.

Speaking of the devil, he's now right in front of me. I could feel his presence, and I could smell his scent too. I borrowed the books from the library because I thought he wouldn't dare to come to my room. But look who lost the manners now?

"Where are your manners?" I closed the book in my hand.

"For manners, I think we're on the same position. The difference is you did it to a senior." He crossed his arms ti his chest. By the look of his face, it looks like he's annoyed. What makes him annoyed? It must have some connection with Ong.

"You knew?"

"You know I knew, don't play dumb."

"Okay, now get out."

"No."

I exhale air, trying to calm myself down. When did he became this stubborn?

"This is my first time feeling this."

"Jealousy?"

"Yeah."

"Well, voila. Now go."

"I don't like it. I don't want to feel it again."

"That's your problem." I was about to open my novel again. But his next words froze me.

"Don't hang out with him again."

I frown at his words. "Who are you to tell me what to do?"

"Technically, I'm your mate. So I do have the rights to tell you what to do and what not to do."

That's it.

I put my book down and stood up from the bed. I stand close to him. Looking at him exactly in the eyes. That dark brown eyes that holds thousands of galaxies. His scent is dancing in my nostrils.

The first thing I need to do before I do something else is to make sure. And now, I think is the right time.

"You like me?"

He was a bit surprised with my sudden question. Ah, perhaps I should make it more specific. "You accept me, a vampire, as your mate?"
