~Yumi~

--------------------------------

I was speechless. I had something in my throat, the urge and the will of wanting to throw up but yet, it was impossible for me to do so. My mind was blank and I felt myself slowly drifting off into my own head, forgetting the surroundings.

"You shouldn't be so shocked.. after all.. he is your first love.. isn't he?"

I sighed

"That's... not.. true" I mumbled a bit dazed

JaeJoong was suddenly in front of me, sitting in front of me as he watched my face closely

"Look at me"

JaeJoong raised my chin and made me look into his eyes and for a minute I entered a dream, or at least it felt like it. Elextricity was going through my body from the touch of his finger on my chin, me looking into his eyes was making it hard for me to breathe, hard for me to even think

"He was lying?" JaeJoong asked

"I don't know and I don't.. understand why he even said that..but.. it was embarrassing"

"Is it true?"

I shook my head

"I've never had a first love"

JaeJoong stared at me bluntly and then a smile appeared as if he was relieved

"Really?"

I nodded

"Why do you seem so surprised?"

He just shrugged and chuckled lightly

"Nothing nothing.."

"Who was yours?"

JaeJoong stiffened a bit but then relaxed again as he realized that he was losing control over his head. Seems like this was a hurtful and painful memory but he smiled palely at me and sighed

"She was a beauty. A wonderful girl. But I never fell in love for real until I was 24"

24?

Isn't that the age when he became a vampire?

I looked at JaeJoong who was staring blankly ahead of him and I started to wonder why he looked so sad. Whenever we spoke about him, about his first love or.. about him becoming a vampire.. he always stiffened, became more attentive and observant and you instantly got the vibe about him not wanting to talk about it. But that made me more curious

As I felt myself gathering the pieces of the puzzle I gasped inside of me, but stayed composed on the outside when I realized that there must be a link, there must be something between those things that I've missed.

I decided to let it slip to the back of my head for the time being since I didn't want to give him pressure and force him to tell me about it but then again, my curiosity was growing bigger than ever. I couldn't help it

"Seems like you were...  very .. deeply in love" I mumbled, feeling a bit sad all of sudden, not knowing the reason why

JaeJoong's sudden action caused my hear to skip a few beats and I forgot everything about me having to control myself in order to not be embarrassed when JaeJoong could hear my heart beating crazily, one moment slow and one moment faster than ever. I totally lost the control over my body as he took a strand of my hair, placing it behind the ear as he smiled at me warmly

"I was. But it's over now. Holding onto the past will keep me off track in order to find the right path to the future" He said

I felt my heart beating faster and faster, my breathing was uncontrollable as he moved onto caressing my cheeks, his finger sliding down to the jawline and then passsing my lips briefly...

It was so quiet, I didn't even dare to breathe

-----------------------

~JaeJoong~

---------------------------

It was amazing. Her skin was beautiful, so soft and warm. Warmer than anything that I could recall in my memory, softer than silk, wonderful in other words.

I was hypnotized as I kept caressing her. It was impossible to deny the fact that I wanted to feel her warmth onto my own diamond hard skin, feel her tremble just the touch of my finger and her heartbeats was like listening to a soft lullaby on the piano

Her lips was trembling, my eyes was able to see them shake a few millimetres every few seconds and I could hear her heart beat like crazy. I was happy on the inside. When I recognized her scent earlier, I was surprised. Never did I expect her to come back here that fast because Yoochun were the one who was guarding but I guess he went hunting after she arrived at the mansion.

I was more than thrilled, happy and excited after she came here. That meant that we would have some more time together because in my 300 years as a vampire, it has been such a long time ever since I felt this kind of excitement inside of me. She made the human feelings inside of me come alive and no matter how much I was fighting to keep those feelings, with her it just came out naturally

Even if it was a bit painful and irresistible, it was as easy as breathing. The feelings were overwhelming and she made me totally forget about what I was, what I had become, what I had experienced. It was wonderful

"What.. are you thinking?" I whispered

She took a deep breath, a deep deep one before she opened her eyes, looking straight into my eyes

"It's.. blank" She breathed

I hadn't realized that we were close, so close that I could feel her breathing, hear it so clearly, clear as if she was speaking out loudly to me. The air was the talk, there was no need for words

I had unknowingly leaned forward and I was able to feel some of it, some warmth from her warm skin onto my own

"JAEJOONG!"

Yoochun's voice interrupted the moment and I found the control over myself again as I heard Yumi's body feeling the adrenaline, her heart slowly becoming normal.

"What's.. wrong?" She asked

"Yoochun called from downstairs" I said, a bit annoyed with him interrupting the moment

"Is there a problem?" She asked

"I'm not.. sure"

I helped her out of bed and swore to myself that I would kill Yoochun for interrupting my thoughts, the moment overall

We entered the livingroom as, still a bit dazed after the incident but I felt the atmosphere, how tense and serious it was and I instantly became attentive as I took a step closer to Yumi.

I looked around in the room wondering what had gone wrong

"What's going on?" Yumi asked worried

Yoochun then took out something and when I saw the headline of the newspaper I gave out the heaviest sigh ever

Yumi just stared at the newspaper and then looked at us, her eyes then landed on me lastly

"What does this mean?" She stuttered

I looked at her and her worried face made me feel uneasy. I didn't like her being worried when she had her own troubles and health to worry about

"People are disappearing.. I haven't paid so much attention to the news and the media lately but.. there's already 7 people missing. A vampire is behind this" I mumbled

"A vampire? Another one?"

I nodded

"It might be more"
