After the chaos from a few hours before with Yoohyeon's huge mistake, the silver haired hunter was able to calm down somewhat. Bora was angry at her at first but eventually they cleared things up. She still had the same revealing outfit on as before and couldn't bring herself to change. There was just something that told her she shouldn't. It was almost 9pm so Yoohyeon went outside and went to the alley where she and 'Jiu' talked yesterday, hoping the girl would be there. For some reason she couldn't explain, she was excited to see the vampire again.
Yoohyeon arrived in the alley and sat down on the little wall where they sat down yesterday. She nervously looked at her watch and it was exactly 9pm. She waited a couple of minutes and 'Jiu' didn't show up yet.
"Are you still trying to figure out for how long I would wait for you before leaving?" She said to no one, knowing that 'Jiu' was there somewhere.
"Maybe" a voice spoke from the roof, followed by a chuckle.
"I knew it! Just come on down Jiu" Yoohyeon also laughed, looking around but not seeing anything. It was as if the vampire had the power to go invisible. And just like always she felt two hands suddenly covering her eyes from behind.
"Guess who" Minji whispered in her ear.
Yoohyeon put her hands on Minji's ones and she sighed, but it was a happy sigh.
"So... is this like... our thing now?" She asked, chuckling and Minji laughed. Yoohyeon slowly removed Minji's hands from her eyes and turned around just to see that masked woman she got so used to.
"You're breaking the rules! You didn't guess who I was first" Minji whined, acting all cute. "And I guess it could be our little thing"
"I think it already is" Yoohyeon chuckled and Minji nodded.
"So, how are we go-" Minji tried to say when her eyes dropped for a second to Yoohyeon's body. The air got stuck in her throat. "Y- You are not w-wearing the usual o-outfit" she tried to say with a steady voice and failing miserably.
"I'm not... this is my old outfit and I thought that... I don't know, I wanted you to see it?" Yoohyeon shyly admitted, jumping down from the little wall and twirling around for the vampire.
"W- Well that's... that's... that is really" Minji tried to say but her mind went blank. The only thing she could focus on was Yoohyeon's body.
"That's?" Yoohyeon asked with a shy smile.
"Revealing" Minji said, her eyes fixed on Yoohyeon's.
"I knew it, I'm so sorry, I knew I shouldn't have worn this" Yoohyeon panicked sitting back down and putting her hands on her thighs to cover them. "I really wanted to change before I left, I don't know why I didn't"
"Why are you apologizing?" Minji asked confused and Yoohyeon shook her head, still covering her body with her hands.
"You said it's revealing and I understand. You are right, it really is... I just-" Yoohyeon tried to say but Minji took one of her hands and removed it from Yoohyeon's thigh.
"It is revealing but I... uh... I don't mind? I mean... it's-" Minji tried to say "I like this outfit more than the last one" she admitted with a shy smile.
"Really? I put this one in the closet because it was too sexy... Like you can see my full thighs and my butt is... you know" Yoohyeon said with a light shade of pink on her cheeks. She felt happy that the vampire liked it.
"I'm definitely not complaining," Minji said with a shy chuckle. "I mean... you are..." Minji said, moving her hand up and down in the air, pointing at Yoohyeon's body "Wow".
"You can stop now, I feel a bit embarrassed," Yoohyeon admitted with a chuckle. She thought it was funny that she broke 'Jiu'. She stood up again, with a bit of confidence and showed her backside to Minji. "Like, I always thought my butt looked weird in this..." she added.
"It- It really doesn't" Minji managed to say "it looks... great" she admitted and she cleared her throat, desperately trying to change the subject. "So, today's mission huh? How should we proceed?" She asked, slightly turning to the side to stop looking at Yoohyeon.
"You were the one that told me about it, Jiu. Let's just sit down and go over the details" Yoohyeon said as the vampire nodded and said down on the little wall. That's when the hunter got a little idea. A bold one.
The hunter walked towards the little wall, sitting on it and she pretended to whimper a little.
"What's wrong?" Minji asked, confused by Yoohyeon's behaviour.
"Well...the wall is really cold and... these shorts are really short" she said pointing at her thigh. She shifted closer to Minji and with a smooth movement, holding her weight on her hands, she sat herself on Minji's lap. "Do you mind?" she asked in a shy voice.
"I-... I guess..." Minji struggled, clearing her throat. "I guess I don't" she finally replied, wanting to wrap her arms around Yoohyeon's waist but hesitating if she should do it or not.
She hesitated for a few more minutes. They started to talk about the plan and Minji carefully and slowly wrapped her arms around the hunter's waist. She intertwined the fingers of her own hands on Yoohyeon's lap and she just sat like that, pretending she didn't do anything.
"So you're telling me it's just 2 simple stray vampires for this mission?" Yoohyeon asked with the biggest smile on her face, obviously having noticed Minji's action.
"Yes, we have to start easily don't we? Take it nice and slow" Minji replied and it sounded like she wasn't only talking about this mission.
"Nice and slow" Yoohyeon repeated in a soft voice, brushing her fingers on Minji's hands as she pretended to straighten her shirt a little.
"And we just gradually build up until we are used to each othe-... used to working with each other" Minji continued, scolding herself mentally for slipping up.
"Should we go then?" Yoohyeon said blushing because she noticed the vampire's slip up. Minji nodded and the two started walking towards their destination, being careful to be always in isolated and dark places.
"They are just over there, that apartment" the vampire said, pointing at an open window of one of the buildings in the alley. Yoohyeon kept looking in Minji's eyes until she realized she said something and looked up.
"I think you forgot something, Jiu. I don't have any kind of superjump like you" Yoohyeon chuckled.
Minji opened an arm and smiled at Yoohyeon.
"Get in here. Just hug me and close your eyes... you'll magically be up there" Minji said laughing.
"H-hug you?" Yoohyeon panicked a little, feeling nervous. The only other time she had been that close to the vampire was when... when they kissed.
"Well.. I need to hold you tightly to get you up there. I mean you can stay there and give me just a finger but I wouldn't risk it" Minji laughed, opening her arms again towards Yoohyeon.The hunter didn't say anything and just stepped forward, putting her arms around Minji and hugging her closely, closing her eyes like Minji had asked her too.
She felt her feet leave the floor and she tightened the hug. The vampire was holding her so steady that she wasn't scared at all. After what felt like 4 jumps, they stopped.
"You can look now" Minji gently said and when Yoohyeon opened her eyes she noticed that Minji was holding onto a window, her feet on the wall. And Yoohyeon had literally nothing keeping her up other than Minji's arm. If the vampire decided to let her go, she would be gone.
"So what do you think being up here, about to kill some scum?" the vampire laughed, wrapping her arm tightly around Yoohyeon's abdomen. "Don't worry about the height, I got you"
"I'm not scared" Yoohyeon said looking in Minji's eyes. "I thought I would be but... I'm not" she admitted, relaxing a little bit.
"Well you should be happy you're hot. I'm not letting go off you" Minji joked, climbing a little closer to the window they needed to be at.
"You t-think I- I'm hot?" Yoohyeon said, widening her eyes in surprise and tightening her grip on Minji when she noticed the vampire was starting to climb again.
"I need to protect your butt, literally, so yes I do" she laughed, using her powers to pull herself and Yoohyeon up to stand on the little terrace.
When her feet touched the ground, Yoohyeon let go of Minji and she straightened her shirt, trying to ignore the blush on her cheeks.
"Okay so... we enter from the window and we just... take them out?" She asked whispering, not knowing if the vampires could hear them from the inside.
"Exactly, I'll go in, make them think I'm alone, let them attack me and then you shoot one of them down. We have to give these poor strays the feeling I'm an easy target. It's way easier like that you see" Minji explained with a smile.
"I don't think I like this plan..." Yoohyeon admitted "Can we do it in some other way?" She asked, really not liking the idea of 'Jiu' walking in there alone and pretending to be weak. Yoohyeon almost lost someone today already... she didn't want to see it happening again.
"Wasn't the whole point of these little mini missions to show each other the tactics we used? This tactic makes them think they have the upper hand, making our element of surprise even bigger. And come on, I'm a big girl, I can handle some strays" Minji reasoned with a smile.
"What if we...swap roles? I go in there and you take them out?" Yoohyeon said, not knowing what got into her.
"I don't have range Yoohyeon. If we do that we will actually make it dangerous. Just trust me okay" Minji spoke, caressing Yoohyeon's cheek.
"I just don't want you to get h-" the hunter tried to counter but Minji put a finger on her lips.
"I'm a big girl, Yooh, don't worry" she reassured her once again.
Yoohyeon nodded, taking out her gun and loading it with silver bullets. Her hands trembled and a bullet fell on the ground, and off of the terrace. She tried to make her hands stop trembling but as she loaded her gun she couldn't stop thinking about what happened earlier that day. If she just had remembered to load it...
"Hey, what's wrong" Minji whispered, putting her hand on Yoohyeon's. The hunter calmed down a little when she felt those soft hands on hers. She shook her head with a little smile but the vampire didn't believe it. "You're not acting like yourself, today"
Yoohyeon sighed and she rubbed her thumb on Minji's hand.
"Let's do this first... then I'll explain everything to you" the hunter said, finally being able to load her gun and nodding, showing that she was ready. Minji caressed Yoohyeon's cheek really quick before jumping through the window, seeing the two vampires on the couch.
"Hello there boys, I was wondering if you could help me out" Minji lied with a smirk. The vampires looked at each other and licked their lips standing up to approach Minji.
"What do you need help for, cutie?" One of them asked, walking towards her at a fast pace.
"I think I got lost" Minji said, pretending to pout "Can you maybe give me shelter for one night?" She asked with a smirk.
"Oh, of course, cutie, you're gonna have to pay us though" one of the men smirked, licking his lips. "What can you offer us" he asked, still coming closer and looking at her body.
Outside of the window Yoohyeon could hear everything and she already had the first vampire in her sights. Her index finger was itching, ready to pull the trigger.
"Not yet, Yooh. Not yet" she said to herself, trying to calm down as she watched the two vampires looking at her like that.
"How about a fun time boys" Minji responded in a seductive voice.
"What does that include, sweetie" one of the two asked, still going closer.
"Hmm, how about a silver bullet and a kick to the groin?" Minji smirked as she kicked one of the vampires in the groin as Yoohyeon shot the other one right in his heart once Minji gave her the signal.
One vampire dropped dead on the ground while the other one bent over, screaming in pain for Minji's kick. The black haired vampire kicked him down and Yoohyeon jumped in through the window, pointing her gun at the man's heart. She shot and he died.
"Clean and easy" Minji said proudly, turning towards Yoohyeon with a smile.
"I didn't like that... What if they actually did something to you?" Yoohyeon admitted.
"Don't worry, I'm strong enough. You did great! And we got ourselves a little place to continue talking with a nice couch" Minji smirked.
"With them dead there?" Yoohyeon asked, pointing at the two bodies on the ground. Minji picked them up and put them in the other room, walking back and closing the door behind herself. She sat on the couch and she patted her hand beside her.
"Let's get comfy" she smiled as if she didn't just kill two people in this exact apartment. "And there was also another reason I didn't want you to be the bait" she said pointing at something in Yoohyeon's direction. "That butt is mine" she added with a lovely laugh.
"W- What?" Yoohyeon asked, blushing like crazy. Minji just chuckled, but she didn't answer.
"So, you care to tell me what happened to you today? Why were you so scared to get in the action?" Minji asked, genuinely curious.Yoohyeon nodded and joined her on the couch.
"You remember that I showed you I swapped my silver bullets out for normal ones?" she asked and the vampire nodded with a confused look.
"I... I took my team out for a mission. We were 3 against 7 but it was going great.. The last vampire.. I- I shot him through the heart and he... he fell to the ground so we thought... We thought..." she tried to say but with the memories came the feeling of guilt.
"I can imagine what happened. One of your members got hurt because of that and you feel guilty about that?" Minji completed for her, throwing an arm around Yoohyeon's shoulder and pulling her closer.
"O- Our youngest" Yoohyeon said trying to hold back her tears "She was... she was right next to him and she was saying that we were a great team and he... he bit her from behind. We... we couldn't do anything, Jiu. He was using her as a shield and we... she was begging for my friend to save her and-" she tried to say, unable to continue.
"Hey, hey" Minji tried to calm her down, combing her hair. "You made a mistake but I'm sure your team won't bash you too much for that. It's human to make mistakes" Minji said with a little chuckle, that expression always was so fun to her.
"I shouldn't make mistakes like this one, Jiu. They trust me... she trusted me when I put him down and she got hurt because of that. She hasn't even woken up yet" Yoohyeon said weakly. Minji tightened her embrace on Yoohyeon's shoulder but Yoohyeon wasn't calming down "What if they don't trust me anymore after that? She almost died"
"I'm sure that's not the case. You said they grew up with you. They know it was just a mistake and I'm sure you are a great leader" Minji reassured her. "And, Yooh, I told you that you don't have to swap your bullets for me. It's only a bother for you. I feel like... I feel like you made that mistake because of me"
"No, it was my fault. I wasn't careful enough and I didn't load the silver bullets" Yoohyeon said, shaking her head. "It's no one's fault but mine"
"If... I wasn't so careless when we went into that corridor... He would never have gotten your gun and... You wouldn't have come with the idea to swap them out" the vampire sighed, pulling Yoohyeon's head to her chest.
"It was my choice, Jiu. You weren't reckless... you did everything in the right way, we just got unlucky" Yoohyeon explained "I just had to remember one thing: load the silver bullets. And I didn't. I didn't and our youngest got hurt" Yoohyeon said weakly.
"That must be horrible... I can't imagine how I would act if our youngest got hurt because of me... but... there is something I don't understand. I'm sure you felt really really bad, why did you still come to see me then? You should've stayed with your team" Minji asked in a soft whisper.
"She didn't wake up yet and our oldest member laid down in her room to keep an eye on her and she... she really didn't want me in the room. She didn't say it but I could feel it. They're basically sisters and she goes mad when the youngest gets hurt so she... I don't think she wanted me around" Yoohyeon said, stopping for a second. "And I really... I felt like I needed to see you" Yoohyeon admitted weakly. Minji was surprised by that. Something horrible just happened to Yubin and Yoohyeon felt like she needed to see her?
"Why?" she just asked in a whisper.
"I- I don't know" Yoohyeon said shyly, locking eyes with Minji. She wanted to answer too many things. She wanted to say that she felt so guilty and the only thing able to make her relax a little bit was thinking about the vampire. She wanted to say that right after the disaster happened, she just wanted to run to their alley, hoping to find 'Jiu' there. She had too many things to say but not enough courage to say them, so she just cupped Minji's cheek and leaned in. Maybe that would be a good answer. She lightly pushed Minji down on the couch until she lied down fully with Yoohyeon hovering over her. She kept looking in the vampire's eyes through the mask as she leaned in and put her lips on Minji's.
Minji instinctively cupped Yoohyeon's cheek, kissing her back. She moved her lips on hers, slowly and she could feel the pain and the guilt the hunter was feeling right now. Minji couldn't blame her if she was trying to find comfort by doing this. If she had to watch Gahyeon almost killed by a vampire due to her fault, like Yoohyeon had to watch Yubin, Minji would probably do the same. But this wasn't right.
She let Yoohyeon kiss her for a few more seconds before she lightly pushed her away, confusing the hunter.
"Jiu? Do you not... w-want to? What, did I... did I misread the situation?" she panicked.
"No, you didn't Yoohyeon" Minji replied with a smile, looking at the girl who was still hovering over her. "It's just... you are trying to find some comfort for the guilt and the sadness you are feeling and I can't blame you for that but... this isn't the right way" she said cupping Yoohyeon's cheeks.
"Jiu... it's not only that I promise it's-" Yoohyeon tried to say but Minji cut her off. She still couldn't believe that the hunter actually felt something even though the signs were right there. She kept blaming it on her charming powers.
"It's because of my powers too, I know Yooh" she interrupted her.
"That's not what I-" Yoohyeon tried to say but once again Minji cut her off.
"We should go home, Yoohyeon. It's late and your team needs you now more than ever... you shouldn't be out here with me" Minji said slightly pushing the hunter up so that she could stand up from the couch.
"Jiu... I don't want to go home... I want to stay here a bit longer, with you" Yoohyeon admitted with a pout, putting a hand on that of the vampire's. Minji felt that her own heartbeat was faster than normal and didn't know what was happening. She felt this last time too.
She couldn't do this, she shouldn't. She didn't even know what 'this' was. Yoohyeon was attracted to her because of her charming powers and Minji was just extremely confused.
"Still, you should be with your team. You are the leader right? You can't leave your youngest in a bed, unconscious and your other member to take care of her. You should be there for them" Minji said, locking eyes with Yoohyeon. The hunter sensed that something else was going on and felt a bit hurt.
"You- you don't want me to be around you right now right? You don't want to talk more, this isn't about my team..." Yoohyeon asked in a soft voice, tears in her eyes.
"I think we just need time to think, Yoohyeon. Both of us" Minji replied, squeezing Yoohyeon's hand.
"Jiu... I don't think I need to think. I know what I'm feeling right now and this... all of this feels good" she admitted, hoping that the vampire understood.
Minji shook her head... she was talking like this because of her power, because of the charming effect Minji had on her. There was no way she wanted to stay with her after Yubin was on the verge of dying. Minji stood up from the couch and walked to the window.
"Let's go, I'll bring you back to the ground" she said, not looking back at the hunter.
"For fuck's sake Jiu! Answer me, say something! Why are you acting like this" Yoohyeon yelled in desperation, walking to the vampire and grabbing her shoulders, shaking her a little.
Minji couldn't keep standing there. She just wanted to walk away because this was hurting her. How could she know if the hunter was talking like this because of her power or because she felt something? Minji wanted to run away but she knew she couldn't leave Yoohyeon up there. As the hunter was squeezing her shoulder, Minji wrapped her arm around Yoohyeon's waist, pulling her closer and holding her tightly as she jumped out of the window and back first off the terrace, on a free fall.
Once they landed Minji wanted to walk away but Yoohyeon grabbed her and pushed her against a wall.
"Fucking talk to me Jiu! Talk to me and tell me something! Tell me what this is! Tell me what you feel!" Yoohyeon cried.
"This is you being charmed by my power, Yoohyeon. Nothing more" she replied coldly, looking in Yoohyeon's eyes.
"Then why am I thinking about you when you aren't near me? I'm sure you're fucking stupid powers are not supposed to do that, Jiu" the hunter countered, pushing Minji against the wall even harder and looking her dead in the eyes.
"T-they are" Minji lied "once you are hooked, that feeling just follows you around. Don't let it fool you"
Yoohyeon shook her head refusing to believe that, she didn't tell her that yesterday.
"Then look at me right in the eyes and tell me our kiss didn't mean anything, Jiu" she asked in a hurt voice.
"I- It didn't mean anything" Minji lied, clenching her fists, trying to resist the urge to take that back as soon as she said it. The silver haired woman let go of Minji's body, not pushing her against the wall anymore and let her head hang down, tears falling on the ground.
"Do you know... h-how much I've been thinking about our kiss? About us? And now... you..." Yoohyeon sobbed uncontrollably. "F-fuck you Jiu... Let's just... let's just not meet up again, I'll manage on my own"
"W- wait Yooh" the vampire said with panic in her voice, taking Yoohyeon by the wrist "We... We have a common goal. D- don't drop the mission like this" Minji said desperately looking in Yoohyeon's eyes. She wasn't thinking about the mission at all, she just couldn't bear to stop seeing Yoohyeon.
"I c-can't... I can't work with you knowing I feel like this. That i-it m-means nothing! We k-kissed and I... I honestly thought we had something s-special. I guess I was just... another f-foolish human" Yoohyeon said wanting to sound angry but she couldn't do that.
Minji stepped forward, taking Yoohyeon in her arms
"Can we... can we meet in a week? Just... let things cool down and let's see how you feel after a week without seeing me" Minji pleaded.
"That's just the funny thing, Jiu... I want to meet you tomorrow again but... now I know it's not the same. Ever since... since I first met you I wondered why... why we kept meeting and then... yesterday happened and it made sense... I cared about you and now... you say it's all a lie, Jiu?"
"I care about you too, Yoohyeon. I really do" Minji genuinely said, combing the silver haired girl hair. "Just in a different way" she lied.
"Forget this, let's just meet tomorrow, like we planned. Same hour" Yoohyeon finally said turning around and walking away. "Good night, Jiu" she whispered to herself in a sad voice but the vampire obviously heard that.
"Good night, Yoohyeon" Minji mumbled to herself as she watched Yoohyeon walk away. She had to find a way to figure out what this was. She didn't want to hurt the silver haired girl, but she wasn't ready to admit to herself that maybe the hunter was right. There was something special between them.
-=-
Gahyeon was sitting at the kitchen table, drinking an iced coffee, nervously playing with the straw. She was so glad that Yubin shortened her list and decided to keep her in the top three and she was also glad that Yubin had invited her over tonight. Not Miyeon... her. She smiled a little but her smile dropped as soon as she heard Siyeon walking downstairs. She took a deep breath when her sister walked into the kitchen.
"Sis, can I talk to you for a second?" She asked, trying to sound confident.
"Of course, Gahyeon, let me just put these away" Siyeon smiled holding up the clothes she just folded. Gahyeon nodded and waited for Siyeon to return.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Siyeon asked when she walked back in the room a few minutes later.
Gahyeon patted her hand on the table, signaling to Siyeon that she should sit down at the table with her. The older vampire narrowed her eyes and suspiciously sat down at the table.
"This doesn't look good already" she commented, locking eyes with her sister.
"Yubin asked me to go over to her house tonight" Gahyeon quickly said, looking down at the straw, still nervously playing with it.
"She asked you over for some 'studying' I suppose? No way, Gahyeon!" Siyeon scoffed, wanting to stand up again. It's not because she accepted Gahyeon exploring herself that she accepted Yubin.
Gahyeon took a deep breath and she grabbed her sister's wrist, blocking her from leaving.
"I'm not asking you if I can go... I'm just telling you I won't be home tonight" Gahyeon dared to say. She was a 51 year old vampire, she could control herself and she was intelligent enough to not be manipulated... there was no reason why she couldn't go. If she wanted to do this with Yubin, that was her choice to make.
"I do not want you near her, Gahyeon. You're going to get hurt don't you see that?!" Siyeon tried to reason. "She's playing with you"
"She... she shortened her list. She's not playing with all those girls anymore. Maybe now she understands that was wrong" Gahyeon tried to say "It's just three girls now and she... she wants me to be one of them" Gahyeon explained to her sister.
"Gahyeon do you hear yourself? Do you really think even three girls is normal. She probably just got bored and wants to spend more time with the ones she thought were the most exciting" Siyeon countered, feeling a bit disappointed. How could Gahyeon think like that?
"I wish you could go past that. Just... forget about the sex thing for a second. She's so funny to be around. She's the only one in college who's talking to me, she never leaves me alone, she has lunch with me and we study together. We talk during boring classes and we walk in the little forest behind the school during breaks. I like spending time with her" Gahyeon tried to reason.
"You're living in a fairytale, sis. Do you really think you are the only one she does those things with? She's trying to keep you hooked and besides, do you think she would do that if she wasn't interested in playing with you?" Siyeon sighed, squeezing Gahyeon's hand.
"I think... I think she's capable of loving someone, she just doesn't know how" Gahyeon tried to defend her "You should see the way she talks about Bora and Yoohyeon, her friends. Well, Bora is more like a sister... they are just like us. And I can see Yubin loves Bora just as much as I love you, sis" Gahyeon said, looking at Siyeon with a soft gaze.
"You know what? Go, Gahyeon. Do what you want, be with Yubin as much as you like. Just know I warned you and don't come crying to me later" Siyeon concluded. She had enough of this talk. "I have some chores to do since Minji is out, have a nice night, sis"
As soon as Siyeon stood up, walking towards the door, Gahyeon stood up as well, slamming a fist on the table.
"Why do you have to act like this? I was trying to have a civil conversation with you! I wanted to explain my reasoning to you and you just stand up and walk away?" She asked, yelling.
"I didn't stand up and walk away. I told you my honest opinion about your reasoning. You asked me for more freedom, well you got it" Siyeon said with a sarcastic smile.
Gahyeon walked towards the sink, throwing the iced coffee she didn't want to finish anymore in it and she left the glass on the counter.
"You know, you used to take the time to talk with me... now it's just 'do as I say or do the fuck you want' " Gahyeon hissed, walking past Siyeon, bumping her shoulder against her sister's as she walked towards the stairs.
"Gahyeon! Don't you dare say that! You reached a vampire age in which they should be independent. We allowed you to go to college, we allowed you to explore yourself now but you expect us to solve the shit you get into?" Siyeon yelled, not happy with her sister's behavior, she was acting like a spoiled brat.
"I'm not asking you to solve the shit I get into! I just wanted to talk with you, Siyeon, what don't you understand about that? Just... leave it. I won't ask you for help, ever again!" Gahyeon yelled, walking upstairs and going into her room to take the backpack she already prepared. She quickly went back down and walked towards the front door.
"You are not going out in those clothes, Gahyeon" Siyeon commented, ignoring the last thing her sister yelled a few moments ago. She knew she would always return to her.
"I'm going out dressed as I want" Gahyeon hissed "You told me I wanted more freedom and that you were giving it to me. Just let me go out" Gahyeon said, trying to walk past Siyeon.
"Going out looking like that is dangerous at night. You are going upstairs right now and changing into something else" Siyeon calmly said, looking her in the eyes.
"It's just a pair of shorts, Siyeon. Plus I'm half vampire, I can defend myself. Move, please" Gahyeon said, holding Siyeon's gaze.
"Just a pair of shorts? A really short pair of shorts you mean?" She challenged but when Gahyeon didn't make a move to go upstairs she lifted her arm with which she was blocking Gahyeon's passage. "Just come back early tomorrow" She added with a sigh.
"I will, sis" Gahyeon replied, softening her voice a little as she walked past Siyeon. The older vampire quickly wrapped an arm around Gahyeon's head pulling her closer and kissing her hair just for a second, before starting to walk upstairs. She didn't accept what Gahyeon was doing, she was mad at her and everything... but remembering what happened the last time they fought, she just couldn't let Gahyeon walk out of there without letting her know that, no matter what, she loved her.
On the way to Yubin's home, Gahyeon felt a little nervous. It was really cold out and already really dark. She knew perfectly why Yubin invited her over since their kissing session was interrupted by whatever Yubin needed to do. But did she mind Yubin's intentions? She felt needed and cared for by the older girl.
Gahyeon really liked her relationship with Yubin. They were friends but they had fun together. Sometimes though, Gahyeon found herself hoping that maybe one day Yubin would invite her over for something other than sex. A nice afternoon, just the two of them spending time together and enjoying each other's company, not sexually speaking.
The whole having fun part was also why she didn't understand her sister at all. Siyeon and Minji were friends but had sex. Even Bora and Yoohyeon were just friends who had sex. Why was it different for her and Yubin? Yes, Yubin had multiple girls but that didn't change anything right?
Gahyeon sighed, she and her sister really couldn't stop fighting lately. She wished she could demonstrate to Siyeon that Yubin cared about her. Yes, they had sex together but that wasn't everything, right? Yubin spent a lot of time with her and she protected her from that bully, twice. This had to mean something. She smiled softly when she arrived at Yubin's house. She quickly knocked on the door and waited.
Her heart was beating fast and she found herself fidgeting when the door finally opened, revealing a small woman.
"Hi Bora!" Gahyeon greeted her with a big smile.
"Gahyeon? What are you doing here so late?" The woman asked with a yawn.
"Yubin invited me over" Gahyeon shyly said, blushing a little and she was sure that Bora was about to tease the hell out of her. She slowly raised her eyes but when she looked at her, she didn't see the bubbly woman she usually was. She looked really tired.
"Oh kid..." Bora said with a sigh "Yubin is staying over at Miyeon's tonight" she answered, knowing that this would hurt the poor pink haired girl. Bora felt really bad, but she couldn't just say that Yubin was upstairs with a really high fever and two holes in her shoulder. Gahyeon's smile dropped and she felt an ache in her heart.
"She... she's with Miyeon? But we-... she said-... she invited me over, Bora" Gahyeon said in a weak voice.
"She probably just forgot, Gahyeon" Bora said, making a step forward and putting her hand on Gahyeon's shoulder. "Don't be mad at her, I'm sure she didn't want to do this to you"
"No, you're wrong... I'm not number one... I'm not her favorite... Miyeon, she... I'm sorry for bothering you" Gahyeon gave up.
Bora sighed, she should have found a better excuse but she didn't expect Gahyeon to show up, so she just said the first thing that came to her mind. She really wanted to try to make this right... she had this feeling that Gahyeon could be good for Yubin and now she was the one messing everything up.
"I think she likes you a little more than the others, you know?" Bora said, still squeezing Gahyeon's shoulder "Just give her a little bit of time to realize that"
"No Bora, Siyeon warned me about this. I was just exciting to her because I'm inexperienced. We can clearly see she doesn't care since she forgot about me" Gahyeon shook her head, walking away a little.
Bora shook her head. How could she convince the girl that Yubin didn't forget about her, without telling her the truth? How could she justify Yubin, without telling Gahyeon that the blue haired girl was upstairs, badly injured after a fight with vampires?
"Gahyeon, why don't you come by tomorrow? I'm sure Yubin will explain everything to you and she will apologize for tonight. Trust me... she does care. She even shortened her list now... and you are in it even though you're new" Bora tried to say.
"Just leave it, Bora. And no, I'm busy tomorrow" Gahyeon lied, walking away. She just wanted to go home and sleep.
Gahyeon heard the door closing behind her back and she sighed, trying to hold back the tears. How could she go home now? Siyeon was right... she was right all along and now Gahyeon would prove her she was right, walking back home because Yubin stood her up.
She roamed around in the city a bit before going home to calm down. Once she got back she knocked on the door and waited for Siyeon to come open up. Her sister did that not too long ago as she opened the door with a smile
"Forgot your key again Min-... Gahyeon?"
Gahyeon looked down, not having the courage to look in her sister's eyes, not after that fight about Yubin. She walked past Siyeon and hung her coat beside the door.
"Gahyeon, what happened?" Siyeon asked, worried by Gahyeon's behavior.
"Nothing happened" Gahyeon dryly replied, taking her backpack and walking upstairs. As soon as she walked into her room, she dropped herself into the bed. How could she be so stupid? How could she think she was special?
A bit later Siyeon walked into her room with a coffee for Gahyeon.
"Hey, weren't you going to stay the night there? What happened? Why are you back?" She asked worriedly.
Gahyeon shook her head as tears started to stream down her face.
"You told me... I shouldn't come to you crying if... if..." Gahyeon tried to say, wiping her tears away with her hands.
Siyeon sat down on the bed and handed Gahyeon the coffee.
"I told you that to get my point across. You know I don't mean it when I say that" Siyeon reassured her, combing Gahyeon's pink hair.
"She... she was at Miyeon's. She invited me over and she... she went to another girl's house. Bora tried to... to defend her but... the truth is that she stood me up after inviting me there. She didn't even bother to text me to say that... that she changed her mind" Gahyeon said between sobs.
"Hey, it's okay, sis. It's okay. It's not your fault" Siyeon comforted her. "Just drink your coffee and try to rest. I hope you learnt your lesson now. She's a player, Gahyeon. You won't change that"
"I thought... I thought that maybe I could... I could be the one to change that" Gahyeon admitted and Siyeon hugged her tightly.
"I'm sure every single girl on her list thinks the same, little one" she whispered, kissing Gahyeon's head. "The truth is that not one of you is going to change her. She is made like this and it won't change, she won't change. She will spend her whole life using people. It's just who she is" Siyeon said angrily.
"I'm sorry, Siyeon. I'm sorry I-" she wanted to apologize but Siyeon silenced her with a hug, taking the empty cup of coffee out of Gahyeon's hands.
"Just rest now, Gahyeon. It will be okay" she whispered, kissing her forehead.
"Sis?" Gahyeon asked softly as she laid herself down on her bed. Siyeon, who was walking towards the door, stopped and turned to look at her. "Would you sleep with me tonight?" she asked, sounding really sad. Siyeon flashed her a sad smile and nodded.
Minji was probably out there having fun with Yoohyeon, playing hunter and vampire. She didn't need to wait up for her. She laid herself besides her younger sister and hugged her.
"Goodnight Gahyeon" she whispered.
"Goodnight sis"
