'Pweaaaase!' Donghyuck gave Mark puppy eyes to convince him.
'Not again, baby. We haven't gone out for literal DAYS.' Mark said. However, Donghyuck didn't even move.
Mark tried to get up, but Donghyuck held onto him tighter and didn't let him go.
'Come on, Hyuckie. We've been here for so long our friends are gonna think we're dead!'
Donghyuck whined and shook his head.
'Just a little longer...'
'Baby, we have to go. We haven't drunk blood in-'
'No!'
Mark went silent after Donghyuck yelled at him.
'Stay here. I'm sore, take care of me!'
'But-'
'I will ask someone to bring us some blood. You stay with me.' Donghyuck said, emphasizing the word 'I'.
When did things get this messed up? Yangyang thought to himself. He was in the perfume shop, which had been closed for a few days. He wanted to leave so badly, but Kun would be mad if he did so. He'd already skipped some days to take care of Yukhei against Kun's orders.
Their situation in that moment was bad. They didn't even know if Chenle was alive, which was driving Kun crazy. Yukhei would have sudden internal fights with Lucas out of nowhere. Dejun's lab was reconstructed but there were a lot of things he had to remake and it was taking longer than expected.
Yangyang missed those days where Yukhei, Chenle and him were together. He didn't realise back then, that was his happiness. Now one of his best friends was in the vampires' hands and the other one seemed so distant. Kun became harsher to all of them, but specially to Yukhei.
A customer entered the shop and he had to play a friendly smile.
'Welcome to Qian's perfume! May I help you?'
'We can't get the police to arrest them? We know their direction, barging in shouldn't be difficult at all.' Chittaphon said, making Kun sigh.
'Since Judge Kang's murder no one has dared to directly cooperate with us. I can't force things, they are all afraid of being killed in such a cruel way.'
'Chenle?' Jisung said as he got inside Chenle's room. He didn't see the older on the bed, so he closed the door softly and searched around. Then, he noticed the bathroom's door was open.
His eyes widened as he saw Chenle laid on the floor, eyes closed and without moving a single muscle.
'Chenle!' He rushed towards the human, picking him up and bringing him to his bed. Chenle had thrown up and now was... Dead? Sleeping? Playing dead?
Right when he needed it, all of his knowledge in humans disappeared. He panicked as he touched Chenle's face and arms, trying to find out anything that could help him guess whether Chenle was dead or not. Oh, how he regretted not paying attention in biology class...
'Chenle... Chenle wake up, please!' He shook the older to see if that made him react.
'What is all this scandal you're making, Jisung?' An annoyed looking Jaehyun barged in, startling the younger.
'J-Jaehyun... I... I think I accidentally k-killed Chenle...' He started stuttering as he looked down.
'Again?!' Jisung nodded at Jaehyun's words, making the older groan. 'Jesus, Jisung. Can you stop accidentally threatening Chenle's life?'
'I-I'm sorry...'
'Is he dead?'
'I-I don't know...'
Jaehyun facepalmed.
'Is his body still warm?'
Jisung nodded after touching Chenle's forehead.
'Okay, there's a chance he isn't dead yet. Place a hand on his chest.'
'W-what?' Jisung said as he blushed.
'A hand. On his chest. Come on, Jisung. It's not like you haven't touched him already. If you don't hurry he might die for real.'
Jisung obeyed and placed a hand on Chenle's chest.
'Do you feel something beating?'
Jisung tilted his head in confusion.
'In Chenle's chest. Do you feel something beating? His heart, I mean.'
Jisung mumbled a quiet 'oh' and nodded afterwards.
'He's alive.'
'B-but-'
'He probably just fainted. Wait until he regains consciousness and make sure he drinks some water and eats a bit.' And with that, Jaehyun left. He
'So you want me to bring you some blood?'
'Yeah, please.'
'Sure. It's been a while since we saw each other, why don't we-' Donghyuck hung up without even letting Jaemin finish. Jaemin sighed and got up from the couch, he went to the room where Baekhyun and Jeno were having a quiet conversation.
'I'm sorry for doing that without your permission... I just couldn't let you die. You're like Mr. Park's son to him, it would break his heart if you left like that...' Jeno said quietly.
'It's... It's fine... I shouldn't have tried such a stupid thing. Besides, I should have known you would smell the blood haha... My bad.' Baekhyun apologized, avoiding Jeno's gaze.
'No, don't apologize. I understand you felt horrible. And it's fine, what matters now is that you're alive.'
'Yeah... I will have to adapt to being a vampire from now on... But what can we do, what was done can't be undone.'
'Being a vampire isn't THAT different from being human, I can help you get used to it!' Interrupted Jaemin trying to lift up the mood. The two other vampires turned their heads to look at him.
'Baby, what are you doing here?' Jeno asked.
'I just came to tell you I'm going to bring some blood for Mark and Donghyuck and ask you if you wanted to come with me.'
Jeno went pale at Jaemin's suggestion. Jaemin tilted his head in confusion as Jeno started making excuses not to go.
'I-I'm sorry, Nana, I have to... I will stay to... I need to help Baekhyun-'
'Yeah, I get it. You don't want to come. It's fine. See you later!' Jaemin said, smiling. It actually hurt him, but he played a smile not to let Jeno know it did.
Such a stupid reason to be upset, Jaemin. Let him be, he probably has his reasons.
Jaemin left the house with a couple of containers with blood and headed to their house. Jeno had insisted for them to stay at Taeyong's even though they could have stayed at their own house the whole time.
Maybe he did that so that Donghyuck and Mark get to spend time alone in our house...
Donghyuck, Jeno and him had lived together for a long time. He kinda missed Donghyuck, he'd disappeared from Jaemin's life since Mark came back. He shook his head trying to clear his mind and keep himself from overthinking.
Once he got there, he unlocked the door with the keys and got inside, walking towards Donghyuck's room. He knocked on the door and Donghyuck immediately opened the door a bit.
'Hi! I-'
Donghyuck took the blood from his hands and closed the door shut, leaving Jaemin standing there. After a few seconds he heard a quiet 'thank you' from the other side of the door.
Jaemin sighed but didn't protest. He left the house as he thought Mark and Donghyuck probably wanted more time alone. Or at least, Donghyuck clearly looked like he did.
On his way back Taeyong's house, he started overthinking once again. Jeno was so distant, and Donghyuck rude and demanding. He felt like all the close people he had suddenly wanted to distance themselves from him. Did he do something wrong? Maybe they didn't like him anymore... Did Jeno even love him at this point? He felt he was absent whenever they were together. He missed his touch, those sleepless nights they spent together.
Jaemin, stop. Everything's fine, you're just overthinking.
He arrived at Taeyong's house, but instead of going inside he went to the garden, where he'd heard some sounds. As he wandered around the garden the sounds got more and more clear, until someone came to his vision.
Jeno.
He was facing the wall, a tall bush kept him from seeing the older's face. He walked closer until he saw it.
Jeno was making out with someone.
He froze on the spot and felt as if his whole world had stopped.
So that's what Jeno had kept from him all this time. That was the reason why he felt so distant and absent.
Jaemin's eyes got teary immediately and he felt the urge to punch him.
'Lee Jeno. How fucking dare you?!'
