'Pussy!'

'Shut up, I'm not a pussy.'

'Then do it.'

Jongho groaned in annoyance.

'Fine. I'll do it now. Watch closely because I'm not doing it again.'

His friends laughed at him. Jongho had lost a bet and he had to do that as a punishment.

Jongho looked around the school grounds until he saw the one he'd been searching for. He got closer to his target, silently walking towards him. He was behind the shorter male, mentally preparing to do that.

'Chengli.' The male turned around in confusion and Jongho gave him a quick peck and went back to his friends.

Chenle blushed as he realised what had just happened. The popular guy in his school... had just kissed him. He supposed it was intended to be on the cheek, but the kiss landed practically on his lips, making Chenle flustered.

He covered the place where he'd been kissed softly and spaced out for a while, wondering what might be the reason Jongho did that if he couldn't even say his name correctly.

Jongho was using the school's restroom. It was still break, so he was using the restroom located outside the school building. He washed his hands in the sink and turned around, only to bump into someone. He was shorter than him, probably younger as well. However, his eyes showed such hatred and dislike Jongho almost shivered.

'What do you want?' He said, annoyed. He was used to angry boyfriends sending him hate for having their significant others' attention, so he supposed it was that case. Jongho easily caught people's attention, good grades, good looks, good height and good muscles, the last characteristic being the reason why those boyfriends didn't scare him one bit.

'You touched what is mine.'

'Are you here for Soobin, Hyunjin, Shotaro, Yena or Sunwoo?' Jongho made a list of all the people he'd given attention to in the past week. Not that he intended to flirt with them, they just happened to be whipped for him and he didn't even know why.

'Chenle.'

'Oh, the Chinese one. What about him?'

Jongho's eyes widened as Jisung gripped his throat with his right hand and slammed him against the mirror that was above the sink. The mirror shattered, Jongho's head was bleeding as he let out choked whimpers and scratched Jisung's hand, silently begging for him to let him go.

'Don't. Touch. My. Chenle.'

The human was struggling to breathe, Jisung could sense that. Jongho stopped moving after a while and his eyes closed.

'I hate it when people touch what is mine.

You can't kiss him.

You can't touch him.

Not even talk to him.'

The vampire lifted Jongho up by the throat and spun around, throwing the human against the bathroom stalls.

'You should be satisfied with being able to look at him.'

Jisung kicked the boy on the stomach, convinced he was dead already.

Jisung pulled on his hair out of frustration as he recalled all the times he'd done those horrible things. He got up from his bed only to groan and punch the wall to relieve some tension.

Why is it that I lose control so easily?

Chenle got startled as he heard a loud impact from the wall that separated his room from the one next to him. His eyes were watery and his head hurt.

He wanted to get out of there as soon as he could. He couldn't stand it. He knew Jisung was always near, the younger would visit his room from time to time. Chenle was determined not to say one word to him. He was still resented, and apparently, the younger knew that. However, he didn't give up and kept on trying to interact with the human.

Chenle saw Jongho getting out of the restroom. His friends immediately went to him, worriedly. His head was covered in blood and he had a lot of bruises. He was on the floor, he'd gotten out of the restroom crawling, and he was clutching his stomach.

It wasn't long until a small crowd of students was formed around him. Chenle couldn't help but, out of curiosity, join them.

Bad choice. As soon as Jongho saw him his eyes widened and he yelled in fear. He pointed at him, trembling.

'You! Get away from me! You're cursed! I refuse to die because of you!' And those were Jongho's last words before fainting.

Jongho was hospitalised and went into a comma for years. He lost contact with the older, but he knew there was a very low chance he'd ever wake up.

Starting from that moment, Chenle's life went downhill. And now, he knew who to blame.

Yukhei was playing with a perfume bottle on his hands as he zoned out. The shop was empty for now, the last client had left a while ago. He remembered Kun's face when they told him the vampires had Chenle.

'How could you let them take Chenle?!' Kun yelled at them. They were surprised to say the less. Kun never lost his composure. He was a calm man who didn't show emotions often. However, that occasion was an exception. Chenle was practically his child, everyone knew how attached to the kid Kun was. They all apologized and left Kun's office like scolded puppies.

Yukhei was sent straight to the shop. Yangyang was supposed to be interrogating that Baekhyun guy, the human they 'rescued' thanks to Chenle. He knew Yangyang wouldn't be all day with Baekhyun, but they still told Yukhei to do all the shifts by himself. Was it like a punishment for what happened to Chenle? He didn't know, but he was completely sure it wasn't exclusively his fault.

Another fucking day in that horrible lab. He was in his cage, watching Johnny be taken out of his by Dejun. Dejun hooked a leash on Johnny's collar.

What the fuck? He could literally kill the human if he wanted...

A shorter human showed up seconds later. Dejun left the lab for a while and the other human approached Johnny to... kiss him? Yeah, Mark's eyes weren't deceiving him. Johnny was kissing a human.

Gross.

The human made Johnny kneel down so that he could feed him with human food.

'Johnny~ open your mouth~'

And the vampire did. He ate human food.

'Johnny! Stop! Don't eat that! You know it's bad for your health!'

Mark wanted to go to his best friend, but the metallic bars prevented him from doing so.

Johnny completely ignored what his best friend was telling him and ate the human food. It tasted horribly and made him want to throw up. Mark saw Johnny forcing himself to swallow the food.

'Good boy!' The human said as he petted Johnny's head.

Johnny was being treated like a fucking dog.

'J-johnny... What are you doing? Why are you letting that human treat you like a fucking pet?!'

'Mark, please. Don't scream. He likes it, doesn't he?' The human answered as he held Johnny's jaw and looked at him lovingly. He placed a kiss on the vampire's nose and kept feeding him.

'Johnny! We have to run away! There's just a human in this room, you know we can get out! We HAVE to get out!'

'Johnny, tell your noisy friend to shut up! His yells are bothering us...'

And much to his surprise, Johnny turned around to face him.

'Mark, shut up.'

'What the fuck?! Johnny, what are you doing? Why are you obeying him?!'

Johnny got up and walked slowly towards him.

Fuck. Fuck. FUCK.

His dream was becoming true. Johnny was that human's slave. He was like a puppet, a lifeless body blindly obeying that person.

And that person was Chittaphon, the one who had gotten him into this situation.

Johnny stood right in front of his cage. He opened the cage's door, and dragged him out of it by the collar. He slammed Mark against the metallic bars so hard he was sure everyone fent the whole edifice shake.
