Jisung started his narration in front of his friends. Taeyong let him go and they all got comfortable to listen to Jisung as soon as he started.
'I... I saw Chenle for the first time when we were both kids... I immediately fell for him. He was just... so beautiful... I thought I'd seen an angel, but I was afraid of showing myself because I thought he'd be scared of me.' Jisung said.
'Well shit. I think you should be the one afraid of him, though.'
'Taeyong, let him speak.' Doyoung made him shut up for the younger to continue.
'He looked so fragile I felt the urge to protect him. It all started with two of his bullies. I beat them up. I thought I was just angry at them for being bullies, but soon I realised it was the fact they hurt Chenle that made me go mad. The next step was killing a man who wanted to take advantage of Chenle. At that moment it was just a coincidence, but from that day I started following Chenle because I was afraid people would try to harm him.'
'So you've always wanted to protect Chenle?'
'Then I saw a guy who clearly liked Chenle. They were so close I got jealous immediately. I kept telling myself I only wanted to save Chenle from a future heartbreak and murdered him.' Jisung ignored Jeno's question and continued with his story. 'One day, he caught me spying on him. I played it off as a coincidence, he had never seen my face before. We became friends. I tried to keep guys and girls away from Chenle because I didn't trust them. I knew Chenle was fragile and needed to be protected. I killed and beat up several people without Chenle knowing, if they talked bad about Chenle, or they were rude to him, sometimes it was just because they were too touchy and I was scared they would take him away from me.'
'Jisung... You know that's not healthy, right?' Jaemin said as he softly caressed Jisung's back.
'I know... But back then I didn't know. One day a guy kissed him, as a dare. I beat him up so badly and told him not to go near Chenle. He was so popular rumors about Chenle spread quickly. They treated him like dirt. I wanted to kill them all, but I knew I couldn't just kill Chenle's whole school. His father died in a car crash and his best friend went away, but everyone thought it was because Chenle was cursed. I became Chenle's curse. I ruined his reputation in order to protect him.'
'Oh god...' Baekhyun said. He covered his mouth as he listened to Jisung.
'One day... One day I saw four guys who were sexually harassing him... I lost control. This time, unlike all the previous times, I didn't wait until Chenle left. I couldn't. They would have raped him, and I couldn't allow that. I killed them, in front of Chenle. I killed four guys in front of Chenle... and the smell of blood made me lose it completely. I went completely feral I attacked Chenle! I almost killed him. When I realised, it was too late. Chenle was practically dead. I panicked, I was killing the one I swore to protect! I cowardly left.'
'You left a human half dead alone?!' Baekhyun said.
'I know I shouldn't have... I thought he was dead already. I thought I had killed him. Turns out he survived, and since he wasn't dumb it didn't take long for him to figure the whole story out.' Jisung let out a loud sigh. The rest of vampires were all speechless. 'When I met him this year, I thought I was hallucinating. I saw him with Yuta. That made my blood boil, to the point where... I... I killed yuta.'
Taeyong got up immediately and grabbed Jisung by the collar again.
'You fucking did what?!'
'I-I killed Yuta...'
Taeyong didn't think twice before punching Jisung on the face. Jisung spit some blood and remained there, not daring fight back.
'I don't know what got into me... I followed Chenle home once and found out where his room was. I sneaked in and placed a blade on his pocket so that Yuta attacked him as soon as he smelt Chenle's blood. I knew Chenle hated vampires. And I also knew Yuta was hiding that from him. I used that as an argument to justify my actions to myself. I knew I had no right to ruin their relationship. Although I didn't expect Chenle to kill him. I thought Yuta would just attack him and Chenle would break up with him.' Jisung smiled bitterly as he saw Taeyong raising his fist to punch him again.
Luckily, Jeno stopped the older by gripping his wrist. Him and Jaemin separated Taeyong from Jisung.
'I-I'm sorry... I just... I felt I had to tell you.' Jisung said looking down.
'Hey, thanks for trusting us with this story. However, maybe you should have told us before and we would have helped you...' Jaemin said.
'I... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done any of these things-'
'Of fucking course you shouldn't have. You literally killed a vampire and several people. What the fuck, Park Jisung.' Taeyong said as Doyoung and Jaehyun held him back.
'Guys, let's not get into a fight, alright?' Baekhyun said.
Chenle had heard everything. He had his ear flat against the door's surface and had listened to them attentively.
He covered his mouth as sobs were threatening to come out. He didn't want to cry.
Jisung did all that... because he loved me?
He tried to control his breathing and calm down, so he stopped listening. He separated himself from the door, got on the bed clumsily and curled up, hugging his knees.
No. It's not time to cry. Don't be so weak, Chenle. He hurt you and you hurt him. You're even now. You hate him. He doesn't hate you yet, but he will. You hate him, Chenle. You must hate him.
The human started feeling dizzy. There were so many things going on inside his head he felt the urge to throw up. He went to the bathroom crawling on the floor and poured the remainings of his stomach's content in the toilet.
No matter how sweet he is. No matter how much he cares. No matter what he does. Don't let his actions spark any kind of sympathy towards him. Don't let his nice attitude fool you. Don't let his presence make your heart beat faster. Don't let his voice make you feel butterflies in the stomach. He's a monster. You're a monster. You two are not meant to be.
He dropped himself on the floor, his eyes closing as a single sentence echoed in his head.
You two are not meant to be.
You two are not meant to be.
You two are not meant to be...
Doyoung intervened after a short silence.
'Okay. This situation is unsustainable. We are keeping a human with us, but for what? He's currently only generating tensions between us. He probably doesn't want to be here either. I suggest we let him go and forget about him, it will be better for us, specially you, Jisung.'
Jisung looked at Doyoung like a lost puppy.
'I know you probably want to keep him, Jisung. But you have to understand he's not a pet. We can ALL accept not killing him.' Doyoung glared at Taeyong as he said that sentence. 'But we can't accept you're torturing yourself by trying to please him when you clearly can't.'
'What you did in the past was wrong, Jisung. But that doesn't justify his behaviour. He's a bad person and you have to accept it. Besides, who's paying for it isn't only you, your brother, Mark, Johnny, Baekhyun and several other people suffered the consequences of his hatred as well.' Jaemin said.
'He has to go back with the humans where he belongs.' They all agreed with Doyoung's words.
'Hey, but if we're freeing this thing, we should at least get something in exchange, don't you think?' Taeyong added. They all looked at each other, they knew what he was talking about. 'We will give Chenle in exchange for Johnny. I won't accept anything less. If they refuse I'll kill the human in front of their eyes.'
