I could feel my face becoming hot... what am I doing? I loosened my grip and watched as Jimin fell to the floor gasping for air. I watched as he couldn't stop coughing, he just kept close to the ground hitting his chest.
I slowly turned away looking at all the destruction I've caused. My apartment ruined, all my hard work thrown away... because of me. The women from earlier laid headless on the floor causing me to go nauseous at the gruesome sight that laid before me. I slowly walked over to the mirror that hung in my hallway. I'm covered in- blood. My sight began to go blurry, I just raised my hands to stare at them. How was I capable of all of this? My own hands? They couldn't stop shaking.
It felt as if my heart was breaking, what have I done?
"Hana..." he quietly called out to me from down on his hands and knees.
"I'm- I'm so sorry." I immediately broke down. I fell to the floor clenching at my stomach, "I'm so, so sorry..." the tears couldn't stop falling from my eyes, "I'm a monster."
I watched as Jimin slowly crawled over to me, "Hana, I'm the one that should be sorry." the little light that came into the apartment made his glistening eyes sparkle, he was crying.
"This is all my fault... I gave you my blood- I'm the one that ruined you." he slowly brought me into an embrace.
"You turned me?!" My voice hitched as I spoke.
He only gripped onto me tighter, "That night... you would've died if I didn't do something- I had to save you. Hana... I couldn't lose you. I didn't think it would have actually turned you, I'm so sorry." he held onto me tighter
I let my arms hang to my sides as he hung onto me. It's all making sense now. The reason I cracked the counter that morning, the way the birds chirping seemed so loud... all of it was because I was becoming an immortal?
✎...
We had to leave the apartment... we had to burn all the evidence, erase any signs of what had taken place last night. As I watched from a distance, I felt my heart go numb. My pictures, my clothes, my memories, they're all gone. My previous life before now, gone.
"Hana let's go, I have a place for us to stay." he grabbed my hand, leading us into his car before the police show up.
"Where are we going?" I felt butterflies in my stomach.
"Somewhere safe." he took his eyes from me and turned the key in the ignition.
It was well into the early morning when we arrived at a house on the hills, it's probably the biggest house I've ever seen, "Where are we?" I turned to face him in confusion.
"Home." he smiled softly. I turned back to the house, astonished by the sight in front of me.
"Stay here I'll be back, don't get out of the car." he advised me If I left the car without his permission, he'd punish me.
I sat in silence, my eyes just couldn't leave the house. What has he been hiding from me?
"Don't worry." a voice instantly startled me causing me to cup my ears. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. It reminded me of the incident with Jinyoung...
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you..." the voice sounded as if they felt guilty.
I slowly turned around to meet the eyes of a young girl, she looked about 15. She had bright pink hair, deep brown eyes... she almost looked like a doll. But out of everything, she looked like Jimin.
"Who are you?" I couldn't help but to continue and stare at her flawless features.
"I'm Soo-Young, Jimin's sister." after those words left her mouth, I felt somewhat betrayed... Jimin lied to me. A sister?
"Please don't be mad that he lied about us... he told you we were dead right? That we all had passed in a house fire?" she stared straight into my eyes, "We are always sworn to never reveal our past, especially when we first meet someone." she seemed compassionate.
"You read minds too?" I let out a slight chuckle, "We've been together for so long, why didn't he just tell me?" I began fidgeting with my hands.
"He was only trying to protect you... our lives are filled with danger, if he would've ever brought you here, we'd only put your life at risk..." she trailed off, "The life of an immortal is dangerous."
"So why is it okay to bring me here now?" I questioned.
"Because..." she pointed to my chest, "The heart is no longer beating, you're not mundane anymore." she smiled.
All the memories of last night came rushing back to me. The sight of the blood, the screaming, the agony.
"You're officially one of us!" she smiled brightly, "I've always wanted to have an older sister!" she squealed bringing me into a hug.
"Did you know about me?" I raised a brow.
"Of course we did. He talks about you all the time. When Jimin left home he wouldn't come back for months to check in, we all slowly caught on." she smiled, once again bringing me into a hug.I felt comfortable in her embrace, she reminds me so much of Jimin, it's clear they're related.
Suddenly the car door opened startling me, "Soo-Young let go of her." Jimin swiped her arms away.
"Yah! What's your problem?!" she whined.
"Don't touch my girlfriend so freely..." he shot back.
I could tell she was getting really upset, "Hey!" I smacked his arm, "Why are you being so mean? She was only being nice to me."
He turned to me in shock, "Excuse me?" I could see the frustration in his eyes, his stare sent shivers down my spine, I gulped.
"Soo-Young, go away!" he demanded.
"Okay..." she wined as she slowly opened the car door and exited out the back seat.
I watched as she walked away from behind Jimin's figure, "Jimin-ssi." I tried to plead with him...
"Don't "Jimin-ssi" me." he leaned in close bringing his lips to my ear, "You belong to me, regardless of my relationship with anyone in this house." I gulped. His lips then slowly kissed my ear. He slowly kissed down from my ear to my neckline, hovering his lips above my neck, "You understand me?" his breath trickled along my skin.
I didn't know what to say, I only sat there breathing heavy.
he repeated himself again, this time sounding demanding and agitated, "Do you?!"
"Yes!" I raised my voice loud unintentionally.
"Good girl." he quickly tilted my head to the side and he pressed his lips onto my neck and began sucking on it, leaving a hickey behind.
He slowly lifted his lips from my neck and crashed his lips onto mine, "Come on, let's go in." he smiled licking his lips.
