벰파이어 Problems #5

“You have to donate this… I mean the amount of hair.” I’m told and I don’t oppose.

The next recruit is too fascinated with me after just two days. She’s a woman named Ji Hyun who is a major vampire junkie if I may quote. She’s more intrigued with how I turned than anything.

Her first thought was that I was finally awakened. It was hard to accept, impossible to deal with. It was because this Ji Hyun woman was starting to sound like her. Is this a woman thing?

As a result, the two who collaborated amongst them –Ji Hyun’s passion pleased me. Her major as a nurse and on the side being a blood donor connected well. Yet we called her in by default. Upon meeting her she had no idea I was a vampire until Ji Jun drew blood from her. During the time Ji Jun believed that perhaps Sehun’s sister should join us and I’ve refused, so I was left with needing the replacement.

To me Ji Hyun was completely different than her, yet I sense a sweetness to her that doesn’t normally happen. It’s got to be because of my thirst. Not having more of her weakens me which I have not told these two –gladdens me.

It could mean I’m able to stake myself in the near future.

Besides the mishap of throttling Ji Hyun to the wall and bearing my canines at her with glistening blood shot orbs, her response turned normal. For a frightened woman that gradually catapulted when she immediately stupefied the fear.

First to her I was handsome –a compliment was made, then the innocent gaze of confirmation of what I was – a sequel to my last encounter with a woman led to plenty of vampires story lines running out of Ji Hyun’s mouth.

What was I to do? It had been so long since an open wound was found within the house –even if it hadn’t been equivalent to hers, it was sweet enough; just enough crave for a taste.

So I let her in –I agreed to drink her only when directed by Ji Jun for anatomizing.

Let’s get back to now. Today is an outing.

 

I sit at this chair and stare at the mirror. I’ve overworked my body for this hour and if no for the drive I would have opted to reassess people making decisions for me again.

“Do whatever.” I lose to the grins and the fingers flaring out my hair as an extension to the back of the chair after a confident hum.

“I think you look good with the long hair sir, but let’s bring it to a neck length… Get the hairs shining. Hmm… the scalp is surprisingly healthy.” The female starts off interrogating but only to herself. I have, nor want any say so. This whole time my hair would stay in a ponytail or out in disarray.

It grows because of her. Either drinking from her or having her entirely. I’m missing the times effortlessly. I should known she would be right –I would end up having her live. But I wanted to scare her –this nearly put a strain on us. Like it should have.

Is this normal for my kind? Have I been too greedy? Not greedy enough?

Why am I considering the option of comparison?

 

Ji Hyun measures her neck up while standing in front of me. It’s clear she wants to say something without blushing but I already tell. Whatever dances from off her protruding lower lip makes her heart beat irregular and I find myself rolling my eyes to her.

We’re waiting in the sun, waiting for me to grow weak in a sense, waiting for me to want Ji Hyun. There’s a fit bit on my wrist –assessing that at this time my heart beat is way over a hundred. I could be easily seen sweating and trust that Ji Hyun already knows I’m close to feigning off of her if she just so pushed a button.

I’m quick to listen for her speak, gazing sternly.

“So you want to find out what you are really, but end your life too? Give us a few more months at least … to find the truth so you don’t die in vain.” The joke is far from funny to her but it makes me laugh a bit which is far from expected in her perspective.

I hear a couple of voices, none that makes me want to avoid the question and while giving the pedestrians a side view, I find my shoulders loosening. It’s due to the sun working its magic. I am close to feeling parched yet I answer,

“I’ll be damned."

"The woman I want the most might not be able to live if I try to survive without her so it’ll be best to find a way from her and die peacefully. But then again, you both getting involved should remind you that what I want is two things; I’m not sure exactly what they are though…”

I rest a hand on the shoulder of mine that can’t handle the pressure yet I appear just fine.

“You have until I think I’m ready to die. You have until I may try to kill you all simply not knowing what I really can do but not in lieu of my warning. You have until I won’t stand to be away from her scent. It’s a shame I could be ending this in just two weeks. I think I’m ready to try now… the wooden stake.” I shuffled some toward her, beckoning my head down and soon

I closed my eyes.

“Let’s go home then.” Ji Hyun flatly replies.

The test is over.

For me today, I shared one thing.

Give me my death –work on my body if you feel you’ve won the jackpot or burn me and the house along with it.

 

They can’t say a word. They have no reason to.

“You’re not going to try Ji Hyun’s blood first? I wanted to see how it receives her….” Ji Jun now scratches his head out of frustration. I’m plugged to the machine, they’re watching with these eyes. I cast mines away and tiredly say, “Last this happened, I threw up every source of blood I ever had, it took me days to get better. During that time I never attempted voluntarily. Now should be different –I’m thirsty...”

I recommended that we be voiceless at this time however – Ji Hyun…

“Dammit. It’s not fair. You didn’t ask to be this but you’re so ing humble it’s heroic. Baekhyun, I’m glad to have met a vampire like you.” Ji Hyun saluts, puts a hand on my cheek from where she stands and gives a meaningful kiss on the forehead.

When she steps back I chuckle, “You’re too kind.”

 In that instance –wood slams straight towards the major artery.

There’s a gushing sound –I convulse, the blood kills. I find myself on the floor from the pain and it ends. It all ends.
