Thank you so much to Driftal
And rainbow.bboya for the fanart ♥
Gahyeon walked into the college's gates for the first time in a while and she felt kind of lost. She looked around for Yubin and of course the blue haired girl was sitting down on a bench, with her book opened. The unusual thing was that Elkie and Miyeon were at the same bench as her.
Gahyeon took a deep breath and started walking towards them, holding her bag in her hands.
"Hey!" She cheered when she got to the bench smiling at everyone.
"Heey! Long time no see!" Elkie cheered, standing up and hugging Gahyeon tightly. Yubin just raised her head and gave Gahyeon a sweet smile, while Miyeon barely acknowledged her presence, still focussing on trying to talk with Yubin.
"Yeah I've been kind of busy at home so I wasn't able to come here. I kind of paid the price for that by studying my ass off though" the pink haired girl explained.
"So you and Bin have problems at home on the exact same days?" Miyeon asked, looking up at Gahyeon.
"Yes, and we also did a few things together to destress. It's college, you don't NEED to attend lessons. They are posted online anyway" Gahyeon replied with a smile.
"Still, Bin used to attend lessons before you came along. Isn't it enough for you to have sex in the restroom during breaks? Like me and her used to do?" Miyeon hissed and Yubin closed her book, turning towards the girl.
"As I told you already, it's not your business anymore, Miyeon" she calmly said, really not wanting her to upset a vampire in a college.
"It's not what you think, Miyeon. We didn't skip school to just have sex. We did some other fun things too! And we went to the gym!" Gahyeon smiled. "And I'm sorry about how things went between you and Yubin but... I hope you can support us"
"Support you?" Miyeon scoffed, standing up and walking towards Gahyeon. "Do you think this little thing you have will last?" She laughed.
"Miyeon, it's not a little thing. We are doing okay together and Yubin has changed. So yes, I know it will last" the vampire answered with a smile.
"Yubin has changed" Miyeon chuckled "Do you have any idea how many times I have heard this sentence coming out from girls of this college?" She laughed, standing in front of Gahyeon "She sticks with a girl for a month or two and then off to the next one. You are not different"
"She hasn't been with anyone else! And she defends me a lot!" Gahyeon argued and Elkie leaned on the vampire's shoulder.
"Can confirm! Yubin over there is a bit too overprotective" the Chinese girl interrupted.
"Who the hell are you?" Miyeon asked, glaring at Elkie. "And she hasn't been with anyone? Do you really believe that?" The girl laughed again. "You should just uncover your ears and listen to what people are saying all over this school about that" she said, pointing at her ear and Yubin stood up, wrapping an arm around Gahyeon's shoulder
"Let's go, this is a waste of time" she whispered.
"Oh, want to run? Is it getting too much for you. You h-" Miyeon wanted to say when Elkie went to stand in front of her, reaching out her hand.
"Hi! I'm Elkie! Nice to meet you!" She said with a smile.
"Hi, I don't really care" Miyeon replied, walking past Elkie, "Just stay out of this"
"But you asked who I was? So I introduced myself, that's how it works right?" The Chinese girl asked.
"Okay, hi Elkie, I'm Miyeon. Now would you please let me talk with my ex-girlfriend and her new toy?" Miyeon yelled, exasperated.
"Ex-girlfriend? Toy? What toy do you mean? If you mean Yubin I think she's too old for toys right?"
Miyeon had enough so she decided to just ignore the Chinese girl, walking to Yubin and Gahyeon who were animatedly talking a few metres from there.
"Hey, don't leave me! I don't know anyone here! Let me at least join you to your ex-girlfriend and her new toy" Elkie pouted, linking arms with Miyeon.
The brunette girl decided that it required way too much effort to push away Elkie, so she just let her do what she wanted to do.
"Gahyeon, I'm really just trying to help you" Miyeon said, walking to the couple. "I know you won't believe me, but just... don't be a fool like I was and listen to what everyone is saying! Literally everyone in here knows that she's making a fool out of you"
"Miyeon, I'm her girlfriend. That means 'exclusive' we are doing okay. She was different with you. It's not the same" Gahyeon argued.
"Oh God, how can you be so blind!" Miyeon argued and Yubin once again had enough and tried to leave with Gahyeon when Miyeon grabbed the pink haired girl's wrist. "Wait, let me show you!"
"What are you going to show me? And how? You can't show that people are telling the truth" the vampire asked in confusion.
Miyeon was about to reply when a girl walked past them, stopping for a couple of seconds beside them.
"Hey Yubin" she whispered with a little wink, followed by a chuckle as she waved at her, walking towards her next class.
"Is that your friend, Yubin? Please introduce me to her" Elkie cheered, still clinging onto Miyeon.
"She's not my friend" Yubin cut short, sensing that something was off. "Can we just go please, Gahyeon?"
"Honey, we should at least listen to what Miyeon has to say. It had to be hard for her" Gahyeon whispered.
"I know it was hard for her and that's why I tried to be as kind as I could... but this is just ridiculous" she whispered back.
"What is it you wanted to show me Miyeon?" Gahyeon asked again, looking at the girl.
"Just pick a couple of people from here, you can choose them... and ask them about her and just listen to what they have to say" Miyeon challenged.
"I could do that but they don't know that Yubin changed, yet Miyeon" the vampire stayed calm and Elkie tilted her head.
"Didn't you say you need to speak to your ex-girlfriend and her new toy? Where is she?" The Chinese asked, hitting Miyeon's shoulder.
"You have them in front of you" Miyeon replied, pointing at Yubin and then at Gahyeon.
"Okay Miyeon, you have the right to be hurt but you are not my ex and Gahyeon is not my new toy by any means" Yubin said, not able to stay quiet at that.
"Oh so I wasn't your girlfriend?" Miyeon raised her eyebrows. "You weren't of the same opinion a couple of months ago" she hissed, walking closer to Yubin and stopping inches away from her face "I was your only one and you know it. How many times did you ask me to make you feel like others couldn't?"
"A lot, but we were just sex, Miyeon! How many dates did we have? That's right, 0" Yubin yelled.
"Because neither of us cared about dates!" Miyeon replied, placing a hand on Yubin's cheek "Who needs dates when we had everything else already? How can you forget those weekends together? That... Wasn't just sex Yubin"
"It wasn't? If I remember correctly those weekends were mostly spent naked, having sex a lot" Yubin responded taking Miyeon's hand off her cheek.
"And what about everything in between? The normal talks in bed... and eating together, you walked me home almost every day and.." Miyeon asked, looking straight in Yubin's eyes.
"Those are the things that every normal friend does, Miyeon. I did that to be friendly"
"Is this because he... Is this because of what happened?" Miyeon suddenly asked and Yubin made a step back. "We were fine before that..."
"It has nothing to do with him. We were never anything more" Yubin replied. She also noticed that guy didn't come to school recently and she was more than happy with that.
"We were something more!" Miyeon yelled, not able to control her feelings anymore. "I don't blame you if after that you... you got distant from me but I... I mean now we...We could be fine. He got what he deserved right? Your sister almost killed him"
"We were nothing more, you didn't help me back then and that to something even less with you. And what do you mean Bora almost killed him?" Yubin asked, panicked about that last thing. Gahyeon also turned to Miyeon not knowing what this was about.
"Exactly what I said. Your sister beat the hell out of him. He is still in the hospital" Miyeon explained.
"Well... good" Yubin said, thinking she definitely needs to ask Bora about that.
"Bin... can we please try again?" Miyeon asked, placing a hand on Yubin's waist and the other one on her cheek again. "Let me just... kiss you once to prove you everything"
"What the fuck! Who do you think you are, saying something like that while my girlfriend is next to me?" Yubin asked, lightly pushing her back.
Miyeon looked down, feeling ashamed because maybe this time Yubin was really a changed person. Gahyeon didn't even need to say anything... Yubin refused her on her own.
"Get this in your head forever, Miyeon. We were never a thing and we never will be. Got it?" The blue haired girl said, rubbing Gahyeon's back.
"I... I can see that now" Miyeon whispered, looking at both Yubin and Gahyeon. "I just... I-" she tried to say, walking backwards but she couldn't say anything so she just turned around and left.
"Who the fuck does she think she is?" Yubin grumbled hugging Gahyeon. "I'm sorry about her"
Gahyeon just cupped Yubin's cheeks and kissed her passionately, without saying a word first. She was so proud of her.
"Don't worry, honey! You did great. I'm happy with my strong girlfriend" Gahyeon smiled.
"So wait" Elkie said aloud "You are Yubin's toy?"
"I'm Yubin's girlfriend" Gahyeon replied with a smile, holding the blue haired girl's hand.
"Wait... I'm confused. You told me she was your fuckbuddy. Miyeon says you are her toy and now you say she's your girlfriend?"
"Now she is" Gahyeon replied proudly "My beautiful and loyal girlfriend" she added, smiling at the blue haired girl.
"That's great!" Elkie cheered running to them and pulling them into a hug "Congrats!"
"Thank you" Gahyeon replied with a smile while Yubin was desperately trying to escape from the hug. She wasn't a fan of physical contact with people that she didn't consider close.
"So basically... that Miyeon girl was wrong? And she was not your girlfriend?" The Chinese girl asked, smiling at Yubin.
"Yeah, she was wrong and no, she wasn't my girlfriend" Yubin repeated, nodding her head.
"Okay! I'm going to go find her and talk to her but before that... can we meet after school tomorrow, Gahyeon? I wanna hang out!" Elkie cheered.
"Uh... I have to see. I might be busy with the gym" Gahyeon replied, thinking about the training. "What did you want to do?"
"Just go for a walk and talk a bit, a tour around town maybe? I'm sure you can skip gym once, right?"
Gahyeon thought about what Handong asked. She had to try and spend time with Elkie because the girl was really lonely.
"Yeah... sure. I can probably skip that" Gahyeon replied with a little smile and Yubin raised her eyebrows.
"Can you?" She asked, not understanding what Gahyeon was doing.
"I can, I'll train another time with Minji. I'm afraid you can't skip training with my sister" the pink haired vampire laughed.
"So you're going to hang out with her tomorrow?" Yubin asked, locking eyes with Gahyeon.
"Yes I am, honey. Is that a problem?"
"No... no problems at all" Yubin replied with a scoff. Of course she had a problem with that. Elkie was really touchy, she asked too many questions, she was shameless and she was obsessed with Gahyeon's family and Yubin didn't trust her.
"Great! I'll wait at the school gate right after school tomorrow" Elkie cheered before running off.
Yubin just sat back down on the bench and took out her book, opening it and starting to read again.
"What's wrong with you now?" Gahyeon sighed, sitting down next to her.
"You didn't even ask me if I was okay with that" Yubin replied.
"Look, Handong asked me to get to know her better, this is the perfect way. And why do I need to ask you, honey?"
"You don't need to... it just... I would like you to, since I'm your girlfriend!" Yubin protested. "And you know I don't like her. How would you feel if I hang out alone with someone you don't like and don't trust?"
"Really, come on, give her a chance. And I'll ask you next time, okay?" Gahyeon said, kissing Yubin's cheek.
,"I really don't like the fact that you will go out with her alone, Gahyeon" Yubin insisted.
"If you were free I would've asked you to come along, you can be sure of that"
"That's not the point, Gahyeon" Yubin repeated. "Can you go out with her another day? When I'm not busy?"
"Stop being so paranoid about her, please... Can we... can we talk about something else?" The vampire sighed.
"Paranoid?" Yubin scoffed, closing her book and standing up. "Can you tell me what do you want me to do, exactly? I give you your space, I don't ask questions and you say I don't care! Now I actually tell you how I feel and I'm paranoid?"
"Hey, hey, I didn't mean it like that honey, just trust her a bit okay? For me?" Gahyeon asked with a pout and puppy eyes.
"I won't tell you that you can't go out with her, but if you want me to say that I trust her, no... I don't Gahyeon. So you are free to go out with her, just know that I don't like this" Yubin said, sitting back down.
"Okay... but thanks for being honest" Gahyeon said, hugging Yubin. "So how is my strong girlfriend doing in training?"
"I'm doing okay I guess" Yubin replied. "It's not easy with Siyeon but... I hope we can make a good team in the end"
"What did she train you in already? Do you have more arm muscles now?" The pink haired girl asked.
"I hope so. But we did a lot of stretching for now. She said I'm not flexible enough" Yubin admitted.
"Flexible? Do you want to be more flexible?"
"Yeah, I have to be. Siyeon said it's very important for a frontliner" the blue haired girl replied.
"Oh, so it's something only good for in battle then? It's not like arm muscles which are also good outside of it?"
"Gahyeon what are you talking about?" Yubin asked, pretty confused.
"I just don't understand why you need to be flexible to be a frontliner" the younger girl said.
"Because if someone goes for my head and I can avoid that is pretty nice?" Yubin explained, tilting her head. "Anyway... as soon as I'll be allowed to go on a mission again, we will see if Siyeon's training works" the blue haired girl explained and Gahyeon realized that since it was decided last night, no one told Yubin about her mission.
"Wait, Yoohyeon didn't tell you? About the mission?" The vampire asked.
"Didn't tell me what? About what mission?" Yubin asked, confused.
"You have a mission tonight after your training! With Siyeon, Minji and Yoohyeon" Gahyeon chuckled.
"What? A mission?" Yubin asked, completely lost. "What? How did you know that? And how did I not know that??"
"They decided it yesterday night, when Yoohyeon was over. I guess the puppy forgot to tell you when she got home" the young vampire explained, finding Yubin's reaction really funny.
"Well great. Now I'm nervous! A mission with Siyeon already?" Yubin sighed. "I'm used to go to missions with Bora and Yooh but... I'm not used to fight with your sister yet and... it will be my first ever mission without my sister" the blue haired girl panicked a little.
"Hey, it will be great! And you can see my big sister in action. Try to keep up!" Gahyeon smiled, taking Yubin's hand and helping her up. "Come on, lessons are starting"
"That's exactly what I'm scared of, Gahyeon. What if I can't keep up?" She whispered "Your sister is great... what if I do something dumb and I put her in danger?" She asked, slowly following Gahyeon.
"You won't mess up and if you do, I'm sure Siyeon will fix it. Or Minji and Yoohyeon! We are a team, Honey, when someone messes up the team helps to recover"
"I know but... I don't want to mess up" Yubin explained "I want Siyeon to see that she can trust me but... I hoped to have a little bit more time. And we didn't even try to fight together"
"Hey, I'm sure you can tell her about all your concerns in the training this afternoon, and I'll be there too! I need to see my honey's abs" Gahyeon smiled.
"Okay, I'll talk to her about that" Yubin replied with a little smile, entering the classroom with Gahyeon and sitting down. She honestly didn't pay attention to the lessons since she had a lot going on in her mind, but Gahyeon's presence helped a lot.
-=-
After classes Yubin and Gahyeon walked to Gahyeon's home where they had lunch, knowing that straight after, Siyeon would be waiting for her in the arena.
"I'm nervous but I'm also excited for my training" Yubin said, finishing her last sandwich.
"And to think that you didn't want to train with each other" Gahyeon laughed, shaking her head.
"Hey, things can change alright!" Yubin protested.
"Yeah I can see that" the pink haired girl chuckled, placing her plate in the sink since she was done eating. "What is... she doing?" she suddenly said, looking outside of the little window which looked at the back garden. They usually kept that window closed but with only Yubin in the house, it was fine to keep it open.
"What is who doing?" The blue haired girl asked, confused. She stood up and walked over to Gahyeon to also look out of the window.
"Why is she training with a spear?" Gahyeon asked, tilting her head. "Wait... isn't that your spear??" The pink haired girl added, completely lost. "Why does Siyeon have your spear?"
"Not why, how? How does she have my spear?!" Yubin whisper-yelled. "That little weasel probably gave it to your sister"
"Yes but why?" Gahyeon asked again and Yubin just raised her shoulders.
"Let's go find out. I'm done eating anyway" she replied, placing her plate in the sink as well.
Gahyeon grabbed the hunter's hand, intertwining their fingers and walking outside to be noticed by Siyeon.
"Ah, if it aren't my little sis and Blue Hair who are late" the older vampire yelled from afar.
"I just needed to eat something real quick" Yubin justified herself, taking off her hoody and her long pants, revealing the fighting outfit. "I'm ready"
"I'm not ready" Gahyeon gulped eyeing the outfit "I totally forgot what your fighting outfit looked like"
"You should see the other one! That thing is revealing" Yubin chuckled, looking at Gahyeon.
"Show me next time I'm over at your place" The pink haired girl blushed and Siyeon cleared her throat.
"Fighting outfits are to fight not to do anything else and definitely not that" she said.
"Okay okay" Yubin sighed, walking into the arena and looking at Siyeon. "Is that my spear?"
"Step one complete, recognize your weapon" Siyeon said with a smirk "It is, I asked Bora to bring it earlier"
"Why though?" Yubin asked still confused and Siyeon signaled the blue haired girl to walk closer.
"I've studied you... now I'm studying your weapon. I need to see how light it is, how long it is and I needed to see if it was compatible with you" Siyeon explained.
"You actually thought about that?" Yubin gasped, surprised at how much Siyeon seemed to want to train her. "What did you conclude?"
"Did I think about that?" Siyeon scoffed, taking a map of notes from the ground and throwing it to Yubin who quickly caught it. She opened it and gasped again.
"Is... is that me?" She asked, seeing a lot of drawings of a figure with a spear as a weapon. There was all the information about her... her height, her weight, her measurements in it and added at the side was the information about the spear. Yubin kept turning the pages, not believing her eyes. Everything was written in that... what she was good at, what she was lacking in, possible tactics compatible with her structure. "Did... Siyeon, did you do all of this?"
"Nope, some magical gnome came and did it for me, of course I did" the vampire scoffed. "I didn't have time to color the drawings in but as you can see... your hair is blue"
"I... This is-" Yubin tried to say, but she couldn't find the words "Thank you" she just said, really appreciating all the effort Siyeon was putting into training her.
"You're welcome but it's not only for you, it helps me too. I wasn't too sure about your measurements so I asked Gahyeon's help there" the vampire explained.
"Yeah well... that was... a smart move" Yubin replied, blushing a little. "So what did you conclude... with my information, the spear and everything"
"That you shouldn't have been a frontliner" Siyeon calmly said, locking eyes with Yubin.
"What? What do you mean? What else should I have been?" Yubin questioned since she always worked on the front line.
"You are fast and you can be really really quiet when you approach someone" Siyeon explained "Those are not the characteristics of a frontliner. I suppose you needed to be one because you've always worked with people who use ranged weapons and someone needed to stay in the front"
"Well yeah, I couldn't leave them unprotected. I mean, they can fight but they are more comfortable with their respectable weapons" Yubin explained.
"I know, ranged weapons need a frontliner" Siyeon agreed "but that role is forced on you. You are not physically big or strong... you've learnt how to take hits, sure but it's not your thing. Let's say that... in your group you were 100% useful as a frontliner. But here? All vampires are frontliner. And with your characteristics... I need you to be something else" Siyeon explained.
"What are you suggesting then? I still want to be strong, to satisfy Gahyeon, can I still be that?" Yubin said, whispering the part about Gahyeon so she couldn't hear from in the stands
"I am being serious here, Yubin. I worked my ass off last night doing all of that" Siyeon replied, pointing at the map of notes. "Tonight we will go out on a mission and I would like the both of us to come back in one piece... so please focus" the vampire scolded her.
"I'm sorry, Siyeon. I just want to be as strong as possible to be of help" Yubin apologized, nodding her head.
"You don't need to be strong to be of help" Siyeon replied, locking eyes with the blue haired girl "what did I teach you about combat styles?" She asked.
"That it's not about having the better fighting style, but it's about having the one that suits you the most" Yubin replied, understanding what Siyeon meant.
"Exactly. Strength is not your thing, just like it's not mine. But we are fast and we are sneaky" the vampire said with a proud smile.
"I guess we are... so... you are retraining me then? As what?" Yubin asked.
"I think that the word that identifies it best is... assassin?" Siyeon said, scratching her head. "You need to be fast, sneaky, they don't have to see you coming and when you get close enough, you kill them" the vampire explained.
"Wait... did you know this way earlier? Since you forced me to do more in that flexibility thing?" The blue haired girl asked, staring at Siyeon.
"I know this since the day I first fought with you. You were a frontliner because you needed to be one... but it doesn't suit you" Siyeon explained. "You are a mediocre frontliner when you could be an amazing assassin"
"You are amazing" Yubin mumbled before looking at her spear. "What about my weapon?"
"I won't change your weapon" Siyeon stated "you are good with it and I noticed that it's not in the way when you run, attack or dodge. You mastered the spear... so this stays" she concluded, passing the spear to Yubin.
"So that was what you were doing earlier!" Yubin connected the dots. "Oh and... I did my exercises, every day, even one time extra" she said, hoping to make her proud.
"I expected nothing less, since you promised me your 1000%" Siyeon replied, noticing the little drop on Yubin's smile. "Good job, kid" she added, giving her a little nod.
"And I'll keep doing them, Gahyeon can keep track of that" the blue haired girl smiled.
"That's great, you need to keep doing them or else it won't work. But just to check if you're not just all talk... get on your butt, you know what we start with" the vampire smirked.
Yubin nodded with a smile, sitting down on the ground and starting her exercises. Siyeon was right, the more she practices the less it hurts. Now she was able to bend down on her legs without Siyeon pushing her back.
"I know it's not needed but do you want me to try and get you even deeper? Remember what you told me the first lesson about my sister? Maybe you can impress her?" Siyeon smirked, kneeling down next to her.
Yubin nodded with a little blush on her cheek
"Let's try to go even deeper" she replied and Siyeon put her hands on Yubin's back, pushing her down.
"Tell me if it hurts okay? You're doing good so far. I can see you trained well" Siyeon commented, slowly pushing her further down.
"It doesn't... hurt that much" Yubin reassured, feeling really excited for everything. Siyeon took a lot of time to study her role and how to use her structure in the most useful way.
"Can you put your arms above your head and make them form an arrow? That way we can go a bit farther a bit more easily" Siyeon said, still guiding her down and Yubin started to feel the burn in her legs.
"I can... try" Yubin replied, raising her arms and trying to do what Siyeon asked. Her legs were really burning a lot but she didn't want to stop.
"You're doing great, Honey" Gahyeon encouraged her from the side, making Yubin smile.
"See? You are impressing her" Siyeon whispered with a smirk, pushing Yubin a little bit lower.
"Just keep going then, please? I want her to see what I can do" Yubin asked, trying to ignore the burning feeling because of Gahyeon's encouragement.
Siyeon scoffed and shook her head
"Did they tell you about the mission? I can't push you too much in this training" she explained, not pushing Yubin any lower.
"They did but... it's going to be fine. Just please? A little bit. I promise I will do extra good in the mission" the blue haired girl pleaded.
Siyeon stopped pushing Yubin down and moved a little bit to her side, crouching down.
"Two things you have to learn: if I say something it's for your own good. And two... I know when you lie" she added, pointing at her heart. "You are worried sick about the mission"
"I am... so I want to prepare extra well... I just don't want to fail you. I want to impress you" Yubin admitted with a sigh.
Siyeon honestly didn't expect Yubin to admit that out loud. Yoohyeon told her that the blue haired girl looked up to her but Siyeon didn't expect her to actually admit any of that during training.
"You are training well and honestly? I'm impressed you are still alive after years of being a frontliner... because it really doesn't suit you" Siyeon laughed "But enough with the stretching for today... we need to prepare for the mission and see how we work in couple"
"Okay... thanks, Siyeon" Yubin said, getting back up from her position and stretching her arms in front of her quickly.
"That was great, honey!" Gahyeon cheered again, clapping her hands with a proud smile.
Yubin smiled and waved at Gahyeon, blushing a little.
"Okay, what do you think we could do to practice for the mission?" Siyeon suddenly asked.
"Huh? What? Do I have to come up with that?" The hunter asked in a confused and panicked tone.
"Don't panic, it's just a question" Siyeon reassured her. "We have to train together right? Me and you... so what do we do?"
"Uhm... maybe... you can teach me some new fighting tricks? I don't know..." Yubin sighed.
"I can't teach you fighting tricks if I don't know how you fight with me" Siyeon explained. "So... we should try a real fight" she explained, totally confusing Yubin.
"But who do we fight against? We can't practice together without a target? Or did you mean... you fight me?" The younger girl asked.
"I mean that Minji and Yoohyeon will be here any minute now, and we will fight them" Siyeon explained, sounding really calm.
"F-fight them? But Yooh has a g-gun and Minji is... Minji" the blue haired hunter panicked.
"Yoohyeon has a gun that just for today won't hurt any of us" Siyeon explained "And Minji won't use her full power, of course. It's not a fight to see who is better... I asked them to do this because I need to see how you move, how you think and how I should work with you"
"I... We could try... And if you mean that Yooh is shooting blanks, those still hurt you know..." Yubin admitted, sounding a bit more into it than before.
"She is, but they won't hit you" Siyeon reassured her "We have to fight as if they were real bullets and I'm the vampire in this pairing... I catch bullets for you" she explained "If they're not made of silver" she chuckled, punching Yubin's arm.
"Alright, sure! Go get them... We'll fight" Yubin said, sounding confident.
"They are probably changing into fighting outfits, I hear noise in the bedroom so t-... Or at least I hope they're changing. Oh wait... yeah they are changing, Bora is there too" Siyeon laughed, suddenly tilting her head and looking at Yubin who had a smirk on her face.
"Of course Bora is there if they're changing" she teased.
"What are you talking about? What's with the smirk?" Siyeon asked, narrowing her eyes.
"I just mean that my sister has taste! And she wouldn't lose a chance like this one" she said with a smirk, suddenly realizing she was about to be hit on the arm again "Even though you are definitely more her type than they are!!"
"Good that you added that last thing, Blue Hair" Siyeon chuckled, feeling a hint of jealousy in her chest. Yubin noticed the look on Siyeon's face and she couldn't help but tease more.
"Also... why does it mean they're definitely changing if Bora is there? They could still be doing the other thing" she said with a little grin.
"You are about to be hit by so many blanks that you have no idea" Siyeon hissed, narrowing her eyes "I won't catch one of them for you"
"Hey! I was just stating the possibility! And it's your job to catch them, otherwise you can't evaluate me"
"They're coming" Siyeon just said, walking towards Minji, Yoohyeon and Bora who were walking out of the house.
"Hey Singnie! We are ready" Minji cheered but Siyeon walked straight past her heading towards Bora.
"Did you enjoy the show?" Siyeon asked, narrowing her eyes and placing a hand on Bora's cheek, caressing it lightly.
"Show? What show? Was there one I should've seen?" The small girl asked.
Minji bursted into laughter and pointed at herself and Yoohyeon.
"I think she means 'this' show" she chuckled.
"I did, so tell me, did you enjoy seeing them change?" The vampire repeated.
"I did, of course I did" Bora replied, tilting her head to the side "Even though... I hoped to see you change into this" she replied, pointing at Siyeon's outfit.
Siyeon smiled before she shook her head to look a bit angry again.
"Why did you even watch them change? It's a bit random no?" Siyeon questioned.
"Can you blame me though?" Bora asked, scratching her head "I walked in looking for you, hoping to see YOU change. But then... you know, I'm a woman, I like women, they're beautiful and I have eyes! So I just... stayed there to chat a little"
"Oh, just a casual chat with 2 half naked women while I'm down here waiting for you?" Siyeon scoffed, turning towards Minji and Yoohyeon. "And you two are comfortable with her watching you?"
"Singnie, I'm comfortable with everybody watching me" Minji laughed and Yoohyeon scratched the back of her head, looking down.
"And I... uhm... me and her, you know... had sex for years so...yeah, I'm pretty comfortable with her watching" she admitted, chuckling.
"I understand your reasoning, Yooh but Minji... you are just weird" Siyeon laughed before turning back to her girlfriend. "Just don't let them see you change, okay?"
"What a jealous wolf you are" Bora chuckled, placing her hands on Siyeon's shoulders and pulling her in for a kiss, when she suddenly noticed something on the ground. "What's that? Is that Yubin?" She asked, leaving Siyeon there and curiously running to pick up the maps of notes.
"No, no, don't look at that! It's nothing" Siyeon panicked, running as fast as she could to take the map for herself. "Just kiss me and forget about this"
"What? Why? Let me see" Bora protested, trying to catch the map from Siyeon's hands. "Why can't I see?"
"It's embarrassing! Just leave it" the wolflike vampire pouted with puppy eyes.
"But I'm curiou-" Bora was trying to say when suddenly there was a flash of black hair between her and Siyeon and magically the map was in her hands.
"Siyeon worked on that literally all night long and I couldn't sleep because the light was on so... two people didn't catch any sleep for that and the world will know!" Minji scoffed, winking at Siyeon because she knew Bora would like her even more after seeing the map.
"Minji, please d-" Siyeon wanted to plead when the smallest hunter gasped.
"Oh my god! This is amazing" she cheered flipping through all the pages of the notes.
Siyeon blushed, looking down at her hands, really embarrassed about what was happening.
"You did all of this? The drawings, the ideas, the- oh my god, look at that!" The small woman yelled, looking at all the information contained in the map.
"I did... I wanted to make sure I could make your sister strong in the right way" Siyeon admitted.
"This is... incredible Siyeon" Bora whispered, putting the map down on the ground and pulling Siyeon into a passionate kiss. She knew the vampire was serious when she said she would protect Yubin, but seeing how much she was working on that, was something else.
"Okay, can we start now? Minji asked with a chuckle. "We all had our kiss today"
Bora pulled back, tugging on Siyeon's lower lip a little before taking out her phone.
"One sec, just sending my wolf a little reward" she smirked, going to her gallery and selecting a picture of her in her dark red, lace lingerie, sending it to Siyeon. "Done!"
Siyeon felt her phone buzz in her pocket and she curiously took it out and opened the message from Bora, suddenly widening her eyes and looking at the small woman in front of her.
"T- That... t-that looks-" she tried to say, failing miserably.
"Looks...?" Bora said, expecting something more "Good? Bad? I hope it's good cause Minji helped me pick it out"
"P- Perfect" Siyeon finally managed to say "You l-look... wow. And Minji knows that... that colour is my favourite and with y-your skin it's even better"
"It's just a little preview of what's yours when we fix your problem and a thank you for making these notes about my Bin" Bora smirked, patting Siyeon's butt. "Don't get too distracted to fight!"
"Fight! Yes, we s-should fight!" Siyeon suddenly said, stepping back from Bora, knowing that she was getting really too excited to focus on the training. "Let me just... talk with Yubin for a minute and we are ready to start"
She walked over to the blue haired girl who smirked.
"Do I even want to know what the picture she sent you was? And I'm sure that's your new background" she chuckled.
"No, you don't want to know and yes, that will be my background" Siyeon admitted. "Now, let's focus on the fight okay? We should use this opportunity to see how it goes if I stay frontline and you attack. Yoohyeon and Minji know you were a frontliner so they will be pretty surprised"
"Can't we play with that element of surprise? What if we make it look like I'm going frontline, but then you swap places with me while I run around the side to attack Yoohyeon?" Yubin suggested.
"See? That is why I keep asking you questions. I won't train just your body, I'll train this thing as well!" Siyeon said, placing a hand on Yubin's head and ruffling her hair. "Great idea, let's try that!"
"Tell me what I need to do though. It works in my head but... how do we actually do it?"
"You will attack Minji and I will stay back at the beginning, out of Yooh's range so she will have to shoot at you. I will join you to stop the blanks and we take the opportunity to swap positions" Siyeon explained. "I will attack Minji and you will try to go back, hidden from Yooh's sight and then... you are fast and you are silent... so just run from the side and take the puppy down!"
"Sounds good! Maybe we can use that tree as anchor point? I bring the battle over there and that's where we swap?" The hunter asked.
"Yeah, good idea! Let's try" Siyeon said with a smile, looking at Yubin's spear. "I'm pretty sure this won't be a problem for Minji but... I wouldn't risk you hurting Yoohyeon. Do you have the stick?"
"Of course I do" Yubin chuckled, taking a little penlike thing out of her pocket and pressing a button on it, transforming it into the stick she used in previous training sessions.
"That stick comes out from that little thing? How is that so resistant?" Siyeon asked, remembering that she actually hit that thing a lot of times but it didn't break.
"I don't know, Bora gifted it to me years ago since I can't walk around with a spear when I'm in school and stuff" she laughed.
"Of course that little woman is able to find you little things you can carry around" the vampire joked, patting Yubin's shoulder.
"I won't tell her that you said that" Yubin laughed, shaking her head. Siyeon laughed and turned towards Minji and Yoohyeon.
"Okay, we are ready" she said and the blue haired girl walked beside her, feeling really nervous but also excited.
"Great! I already checked my bullets so don't worry about that" the silver haired girl said with a little smile.
Yubin remembered the incident caused by Yoohyeon's mistake and she was happy that now the girl was able to bring that up without feeling guilty.
"I wasn't worried about that, Yooh. You know I trust you" Yubin said with a smile, looking at her leader.
"I know, thanks" the puppy responded with a smile, patting Minji's butt. "You ready, babe?"
"Is that even a question?" Minji said with a smirk, making a couple of steps forward. "Let's start" she said, bending her knees a little and bringing her hands in front of her.
Yubin put herself into her battle stance, feet a little bit apart and a steady stance, standing in front of Siyeon who did the same.
"Show me what you got, kid" the vampire said, expecting to see good things from her.
The blue haired girl nodded and clenched her fists on the stick. She really didn't want to let Siyeon down. As soon as Minji said the fight could start, Yubin ran towards her, swinging the stick in front of her and attacking Minji a couple of times, trying to make her go backwards. In the open field Yubin and Siyeon were at a disadvantage so she needed to move the fight towards the trees.
"Still going for the direct approach huh? Luckily Yoohyeon filled me in about your style" Minji chuckled, looking backwards to wink at the silver haired girl. She successfully blocked every attack but in the meantime she was unknowingly doing what Yubin wanted her to do, making small steps backwards.
"And I filled Siyeon in about her" Yubin replied, still attacking Minji. She hoped that talking about Siyeon was a good way to move the attention to the latter so that Yubin could freely attack Yoohyeon later.
"Okay, Yubin, you can keep hitting me as much as you want, you are not bringing me off balance with these reckless swings" Minji said "Pup? Can you get her off of me please?" She asked.
Yoohyeon moved to the side, but Yubin was careful enough to stay always in Minji's shadow so that she couldn't be hit by Yoohyeon. Minji of course understood this and after blocking an attack, she bent down and hit Yubin on the chest, making her go backwards so that Yoohyeon could shoot her.
"Good one, Minji, but you are forgetting about me" Siyeon smirked, running in and tackling Yubin to the ground so she didn't get hit by the shot. "Almost there, Blue Hair" she whispered before helping her up. "You had your chance, now it's my turn" she said, trying to make the others believe that they weren't collaborating at all. Siyeon sparred with Minji for a couple of seconds and seeing a chance, she bent down and ran towards Yoohyeon.
"Nice try. You are fast but not fast enough" Minji smirked, pushing Siyeon back and attacking her.
"It isn't like you to lose your target though" Siyeon smirked, pointing at Yoohyeon. Minji turned her head and saw that Yubin stood behind the taller hunter with her stick pointed at the girl's back.
"In my defense... I didn't see her coming" Yoohyeon whispered, raising her hands. Yubin chuckled and looked over the tall girl's shoulder to talk to Siyeon.
"So... we won?" she asked way too excitedly.
"Hmm... let's ask Minji? Did we win, bunny?" The younger vampire asked with a smirk, poking her nose.
"I have to say that I didn't see that coming. So she's not a frontliner?" Minji asked, feeling proud of how the two of them were collaborating. "Anyway... she might be down, but I'm not" she said with a smirk. "You win when both of the opponents are down"
"She's not a frontliner anymore, courtesy to me, Lee Siyeon" she chuckled "And really Minji? Are you not going to stand down?"
"Stand down?" Minji chuckled, suddenly turning serious "You are not winning this" she whispered, pushing Siyeon back with a smirk and getting ready to fight again, while Yubin approached her from behind.
"If you want to do it the hard way, then we will" the younger vampire replied, not showing anything to Minji that Yubin was behind her.
"Great, let me just say though... You can't sneak up on me, Yubin" Minji smirked, surprising both girls.
"Fine then" Yubin replied, attacking Minji who blocked all the swings without any problems.
"You see... you won't be able to prepare a strategy for the actual fight, because you never know what happens. And do you think that the surprise effect would work on the Nightshades? They don't know who you are and what your role is" Minji explained, disarming Yubin and making the stick fall on the ground behind her.
"Maybe not, but we can still surprise them with our power" Yubin said "And how did you even know I was behind you?"
"Your feet, you move way too loudly" Minji simply said, kicking Yubin back, picking up the stick and pointing it at Siyeon. "Let's go, Singnie"
Siyeon made a step back, watching Minji swing the stick around. Luckily the younger vampire had studied Yubin's spear earlier and the stick was basically the same without the silver point so she knew how to fight against a weapon like that one. She attacked Minji who had no problems blocking her attacks with the stick and attacked back.
Of course the vampire leader had no trouble dealing with her. She wanted to teach Siyeon a lesson with this fight as well. She struck at the younger vampire a few more times and Siyeon easily blocked all the attacks but then Minji punched her right in the jaw.
"You're forgetting that the stick isn't my only weapon, Singnie" she smirked.
Siyeon crouched down with her hand on her jaw, growling lightly and looking up. Minji wasn't going easy on her. Yubin stood up and was watching the fight, not knowing what to do. What could she do without her weapon? She tried to think about what Siyeon told her... she was fast and she was sneaky, but she had no idea how to attack Minji.
"Giving up, Singnie? Come on, didn't you want to win?" Minji asked, kicking her stomach, enough to make her go flying but not to hurt her. It was a practice after all.
Yubin knew this was just a training fight, but she didn't like how things were going. Siyeon was taking hits and Yubin was basically being useless. She ran in front of Minji, having not a single idea of what she should do, but she wanted to give Siyeon time to breathe. She started to attack Minji bare handed but of course after a few blocks, Minji hit Yubin on her chest again, making her go flying as well. Siyeon quickly stood up and caught the blue girl in her arms, putting her back down.
"I know you won't like to hear it but... I don't think we can win against her, Blue Hair... We did great, you showed progress but we haven't even trained your new abilities yet" Siyeon said, a little out of breath.
"I know" Yubin replied, massaging her chest which was hurting a little because of the hit "I got Yoohyeon just because of the surprise effect... without that, I'm not of any help for you" she whispered, sounding defeated.
"Don't look at it like that. You did surprise her but... she also didn't see or hear you sneaking up on her right?" Siyeon smiled, patting her shoulder. "Good job kid"
Yubin gave a little smile in response even though she wasn't happy about her performance at all.
"If you two are done talking... I would like to end this" Minji yelled, sounding really annoyed.
"So we just... give up?" Yubin whispered weakly, looking at Siyeon.
"In a normal situation we would run but now... yes, we give up. We still have to be okay for tonight's mission. My jaw already hurts" Siyeon chuckled. Yubin nodded, looking at Minji who was approaching them to finish the fight.
"Am I hearing right? You will surrender? Well that's just disappointing" she scoffed, looking at both of them.
"I don't want my jaw to be completely dislocated, bunny" Siyeon chuckled "We want to do good tonight. And fighting you? We all know that takes a lot of energy"
"Do you have a plan for tonight?" Minji asked, still walking towards them "Because this won't work. The only reason you took her by surprise is because she knows Yubin and she didn't expect her to be the one who strikes" the vampire said, pointing at Yoohyeon.
"We don't need a plan. We will just analyze the situation and adapt, coming up with an approach on the spot" Siyeon explained. "This one definitely has the brains for it"
Minji gave Siyeon a little nod. She didn't know how to feel about this pairing. Siyeon was taking the training seriously and she understood that Yubin had to change her fighting style and that was good. But still the two of them had no idea how to fight one beside the other.
"Alright, that's it then. Good fight girls, do you plan on continuing the training by yourself or are you going to take a break with your girlfriends?" Minji asked, just to know if they needed her for something.
"I want to keep going" Yubin replied, looking at Siyeon. Gahyeon was already walking into the arena, but stopped with a little pout, hearing Yubin's reply.
"Blue Hair, are you sure? You don't need to overdo it, it's bad for your muscles if you do too much" the vampire told her.
"If you want to take a break with Bora, you can go" Yubin reassured. "I'll do this on my own until you are back" she replied, picking up the stick from where Minji left it and putting it back in her pocket. She picked up the spear from the edge of the arena and decided to train with that. Truth was that she didn't want to face Gahyeon because the pink haired girl looked so proud of her before the fight and she was sure that she let her down now.
"Hey, Blue Hair. You did good. And you know I don't say that often. And I'm really not the only one who thinks that" she said putting a hand on her shoulder and pointing at Gahyeon. "So if you are training because you think you did bad... don't"
Yubin sighed, nodding her head.
"Thank you, Siyeon" she simply replied. "I hope I won't let you down tonight" she added, walking towards Gahyeon.
Siyeon nodded her head. The fact that she said that and dropped meant that she did feel bad about it.
"You didn't let me down. You impressed me" Siyeon stated.
The blue haired girl turned towards the vampire, looking at her in disbelief.
"Are you... saying this just because you don't want me to feel bad?" she whispered.
"No. Who came up with the plan to go to Yooh? And we executed it perfectly? Look, I understand that you want to do good but, don't be too hard on yourself. Losing means an opportunity to learn and improve" the vampire said with a smile.
"Thank you" Yubin whispered again "If you say that... that I did good, I trust you, Siyeon" she added, smiling at the vampire. "I like fighting with you"
"Of course you should trust me. You know I don't hold back when it's bad" Siyeon smirked "And yeah, it was okay. You can go eat your girlfriend's face now"
"Can I... borrow your girlfriend for a couple of minutes before that? I need to talk with Bora" Yubin said, sounding really serious.
"Uhm, yeah of course, she's all yours" Siyeon said, smiling at her. "I'll go talk with my sis"
Siyeon walked to Gahyeon and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, whispering something and then she looked at Bora, signaling her to go talk with Yubin. The small hunter nodded with a smile and walked to her sister.
"You did great!" she cheered "and thank you for acknowledging my presence, I felt like you were avoiding me!" Bora chuckled since the younger girl didn't talk to her at all this afternoon.
"I was" Yubin replied, sitting down on the ground.
"You were? Why? Did I do something to make you upset?" The small hunter asked, sitting down as well and putting a hand on Yubin's leg, sounding a bit worried.
"I should be the one asking you that" Yubin replied, gently removing Bora's hand from her leg. "Did you do something that could make me upset?"
"I honestly don't know what I could have done? Why?" Bora asked again, locking eyes with the younger girl.
"I haven't seen him at school in a while" Yubin started, knowing that it wasn't needed to use any name "And I was honestly so happy not to see his fucking face around... Until someone told me that my sister tried to kill him" she said, looking straight into Bora's eyes.
"I didn't TRY to kill him! I... I almost... accidentally killed him..." the brunette admitted.
"Bora you promised me!! You promised you wouldn't go anywhere near him" Yubin replied, angrily.
"I know I did... I just... I couldn't help it... the thought of him- he fucking deserved it but... Siyeon stopped me in time"
"He deserved it, yes! But Bora... killing a person? Really?" Yubin almost yelled "I shouldn't have said anything to you! Not if it brings you close to becoming a fucking murderer"
"He's not dead! And of course you should've told me! I need to know these things, Bin! You kept this hidden for way too long too!"
"He is not dead because Siyeon stopped you in time, you just said that! It means that you were going to kill him! And even though I admit I would like that... not... not like this. And not you" Yubin whispered. "I don't want you to become a murderer because of me"
"I just wanted to mess him up, show him that no one messes with my sister. He just kept... fucking smiling at me and I lost it" the small girl whispered.
Yubin sighed, wrapping an arm around Bora's shoulders and bringing her closer, kissing the top of her head.
"Thank you, Bora" she whispered.
"I shouldn't be thanked for doing something like that... Why did you bring that up? Oh my god... he didn't take revenge on you because I beat him right?" Bora panicked.
"Hey, hey, no... no, he didn't" Yubin quickly reassured her, combing her hair. "He is still in the hospital. And really? Do you think someone can hurt me in school now that Gahyeon is with me? She would punch him to the moon" Yubin said with a little chuckle.
Bora couldn't help but laugh at that as she put a loose strand of Yubin's behind her ear.
"I'm happy you made me come clean, you know I don't like hiding things from you" Bora smiled "Now go to your baby girl, she was so proud of you"
"And you should go to your wolf. You should have seen her face when I told her I wanted to keep going on with the training without a break... she was so eager to come to you" Yubin laughed, standing up and helping Bora up as well. "Especially after the picture you sent her"
"Oh was she now?" Bora grinned "And did you see it? The picture I mean"
"No thank you. I've seen you running around naked too many times in the house already" Yubin laughed "I'm fine like this!"
"I wasn't naked! And I looked pretty good! And poor Gahyeon... now she has to compare to my perfect body and curves" Bora laughed.
"Yeah she's doing pretty well!" Yubin said, rolling her eyes and pushing Bora to the side as they walked to Gahyeon and Siyeon who were talking to each other.
"Siyeon? I brought your girlfriend" Yubin said, tugging on the vampire's sleeve.
"Is that a way to tell me to leave Gahyeon to you?" Siyeon asked with a chuckle and Yubin nodded her head with a little grin. "Fine fine, one small vampire for one small hunter. Seems like a fair trade" she laughed, putting her fist in front of Yubin who gave her a fistbump.
"You should be really happy you have your 'problem' or I'd make you regret making jokes about my height" Bora threatened, pulling Siyeon away and dragging her with her.

Authors' answers: (we watched the concert while chatting)
Nyle: Scream, I thought that with the live band it sounded really retro, like some kind of boss battle theme in an old game xD
Cristina: Break the wall (Nyle also agrees here, but hey all the songs are sick). Yubin's rap part was sick! So much power!
