~Yumi~

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

JaeJoong was my hair as I was resting my head tiredly in his lap. My head felt so giant, so messy, so heavy because of all the sadness that I was feeling. My body wasn't tired but my head was.

I hadn't moved for 2 days now and I wasn't able to eat anything. I also knew that Aunt and Uncle would be coming home today so I wouldn't be able to stay at the mansion much longer. I guess JaeJoong was aware of that as well but that wouldn't stop him from entering my house and protect me.

"Is she awake?"

I heard Changmin's tender voice from the doorway and I opened my eyes slowly as I saw him and Yunho approaching. Changmin had a tray with fruits and sandwhiches while Yunho had a glass of water and a cup of tea. I guess he didn't know what I was feeling like to drink

"She's.. tired" JaeJoong answered

I felt all of their eyes on me once again and the silent tear fell at the thought of knowing Donghae being gone.

"Yumi?" Changmin whispered

I sighed, inhaling a deep breath as if all of my burdens would disappear, but no. They become only heavier by the minute

"I have to go home today" I whispered

"We ... know" Yunho whispered sadly

"Are they back yet?"

"Junsu and Yoochun are by the house, watching over them. Do you want to take a shower before going back?" Yunho asked

I nodded

"I might.. as well freshen up" I whispered like a zombie and got help from JaeJoong to sit up and then into the bathroom.

It was refreshing indeed and I felt the muscles relax more and more as I tried to pull myself together because Aunt and Uncle could not see me like this. They would be terrified and probably misunderstand. I couldn't let that happen

When I was done showering, I dried the hair quickly, plaited it in one and put it on my left side and I even put on some make up just to look somewhat better and decent

When I stepped outside the room, All of the guys stood up immediately and JaeJoong wasn't sure if he should smile at the view of me, looking somewhat normal after mourning for days or if he should stay still

"Wow. You look alive" Kibum said as he entered the room

I rolled my eyes

"At least I am alive" I thought to myself, feeling the hate that I felt against Kibum growing inside of me

I didn't answer or respond to him and JaeJoong helped me with my jacket, Changmin taking my bag and Yunho grabbed the carkeys and all of us went downstairs and into the car, leaving Kibum behind. Thank god for that

The silence was awkward during the entire ride back to my house but I didn't feel like talking, especially not now. I started to feel my heart beating faster at the thought of knowing that Aunt and Uncle would be back again and I would finally be able to be around people who knew me more than anyone else, someone who was able to talk me and comfort me. Not that JaeJoong wasn't able to but.. it just felt like.. all this supernatural thing was going overboard and all I wanted right now was to feel normal, human again.

We parked outside the house and Junsu and Yoochun appeared in one second, hugging me tightly and then letting me go as they smiled

I walked up and towards the house and before I even got the chance to open it, Aunt opened it and took me into her arms immediately. She hugged me like she never had before and I couldn't describe the relief in my chest, in my heart what I was feeling at the moment. She pulled away, kissing me on both of my cheeks and then Uncle came outside and smiled at me as he gave me a hug as well

"You look so tired Honey. Haven't you eaten properly?" She asked

I was at loss, not knowing what to answer

"She's been sick actually. She had a fever and a headache so she's been in bed for the past few days" JaeJoong said politely

"Sick? Honey and you didn't call us?" Aunt asked

I smiled palely

"I didn't want.. to trouble you" I whispered

Aunt kissed me again and I smiled, feeling the relief once againd devour me

"And who are these handsome gentlemen?" Uncle asked curiously

I chuckled

"I'm Jung Yunho" Yunho bowed

"Park Yoochun" Yoochun said and bowed, and then shook hands with Uncle

"I am Kim Junsu. Nice to meet you" Junsu bowed

"I'm Shim Changmin. You have a wonderful daughter" Changmin said

I spun around and looked at Changmin who fired off a smile who could charm and melt any girl's heart. I knew that all of them knew that I wasn't their actual daughter but I guess they were pretending not to know

"My name is Kim JaeJoong. I'm Yumi's boyfriend. I'm very pleased to finally meet you. You've raised a wonderful girl" JaeJoong said

"Boyfriend huh?" Aunt chuckled happily and looked at me

I couldn't enjoy the moment more than I was already. I saw the curiosity in Aunt's and Uncle's eyes and I couldn't help but to feel a bit more normal then the past few days

"Please please, come in all of you" Uncle said

All of us entered and the guys went straight to the livingroom, I followed closely behind

We all sat down and I saw all of the guys looking so normal, that I almost forgot that they were all vampires. JaeJoong took the seat right in front of me and I felt our feet touching slightly, feeling my heart trembling wonderfully as I smiled at him

Uncle got us all some coffee and Aunt had cookies prepared and I watched the guys with amazement while they were drinking the coffee, eating the cookies and chatting with Aunt and Uncle like any normal human being.

I felt the happiness taking over and I felt myself becoming more and more better as I watched all of them having and enjoying each other's company. It was fun to see JaeJoong be embarrassed several times because of Aunt's funny questions but it seemed like he was enjoying it. I swallowed hard.

How long was I going to be here, how long would Aunt and Uncle live until they've figured out that every single day that keep on passing, JaeJoong wouldn't age a bit and I would constantly change.

JaeJoong turned to me, smiled at me happily as I smiled back at him, still deep into my own thoughts but my outer appearance were still there with them.

Kibum's words, I was unable to let them disappear out of my head, somehow they marked themselves inside my brain and the more I started to think about it, the more I started to question the consequences and the possibilites.

As I felt a headache coming, I knew I needed something for it

"Excuse me" I smiled and stood up

"You're okay?" Changmin asked instantly

JaeJoong stood up as well and I shook my head

"You can stay here, I'll be back in a minute

When I was able to assure them that I was just going to get a glass of water and medicine for the headache, I finally was able to hurry to the kitchen to find myself some medication to help the migraine disappear

I swallowed it directly and drank a glass of water as I felt myself becoming more and more thirsty by the minute. I poured myself another glass of water and leaned against the zink, drinking it peacefully as I looked around

My eyes were wandering against the walls, looking at the familiar pictures and at the decoration that aunt loved so much. My eyes soon drifted off to the windows, seeing the dark night approaching. I was about to look away, return to the livingroom when I suddenly felt a creepy feeling. Something wasn't right.

I looked around in the kitchen but nothing was there to be seen until I found what it was that was giving me chills down my spine. I looked outside the window to see Yuri grinning happily at me. I felt like screaming at the sight of her but she just shook her head and put her finger in front of her lips, hushing me. I swallowed hard

Then she walked a few steps closer to the window and winked at me, and then raised her hand, waving me to her. I hesitated and stared at her, knowing that my beloved guardians were just in the room next door with the other guys. I couldn't let them know the secrets and I certainly couldn't let them get hurt

Did the guys know that she was here? Could they sense her? Smell her? Hear her?

She grinned playfully at me once again and then gestured her hand, pointing at her watch, telling me that she doesn't have much time. I swallowed hard

A sudden text arrived then as I felt my phone vibrating inside my pocket. I took it out and unfamiliar number appeared on the display. I looked at her, feeling my heart beating faster before I opened the text

"I just want to talk. You and Me Alone. No harm will be done tonight" I read

I swallowed hard as I texted back "Do I have your word?"

I watched her as she read the text and rolled her eyes before nodding

I had no idea if I was making the mistake of my life at the moment but.. right now, I just wanted to protect the people I love. With a trembling heart I put the shoes on and I tried to quietly open the door and step outside, closing it, hoping that no one would notice

I spun around and looked at Yuri who was smiling evilly at me. She pointed at the black car down the street and I guess that she wasn't talking, since she didn't want the guys to find out. I swallowed hard as I shook my head. I then took out the phone and texted her the park which she shrugged and agreed to and in a second she was gone, probably in the park already. It would take me 15 minutes to get there so I wasn't in a hurry

While I was walking, I was trying to figure out what she wanted. And at the same time, I was praying and hoping that this wouldn't be an.. execution.. or a trap..
