L.Joe was surprised that you got along with Teen Top so quickly and that they didn't even suspect you of being from the other side of the border.

You had already got permission to call them Oppas since they liked you that much.

"L.Joe?" You called. "What time is it?"

"It's nearly 7..." He put an arm over his stomach.

"Do you want to go get something to eat?" You asked. He looked at you with a blank expression before gesturing you to follow him.

*He seemed angry...* You worried.

Once he got off the couch, the others got on, occupying the whole couch.

"Get us something!" Niel waved.

"Take care my dongsaeng! Make sure L.Joe hyung protects you!" Ricky waved.

You followed L.Joe out of his apartment. His pace seemed faster than usual and you had to occasionally run to catch up.

"L.Joe-shi!" You called him with honorifics when Teen Top weren't there. "Slow down please! Where do you want to go?" You puffed.

L.Joe slowed down to a halt, ignoring you and looking around for any places.

"Do the others know that you're a vampire?" You asked.

"No." He continued to walk a different direction. You could sense that the cold guy you met on the first day was back.

You frowned to yourself and followed him.

---

You were in your normal form this time, looking as innocent and vulnerable as possible.

A man in his late 50s came out from the underground building full of groaning and . You fought back the urge to vomit at his dirtyness. You pointed to the man, mouthing to L.Joe if he wanted his blood. L.Joe couldn't help but gag out loud and shake his head violently.

You hid behind a trashcan and waited for him to pass and disappear.

A few minutes later, a woman in her late 20s appeared, wearing loose and frilly lingerie-like clothes. You couldn't help but stare disgustedly from your hiding spot.

You popped up, surprising her a little.

"Excuse me... Can you tell me where I am?" You pushed up your glasses, looking at her for a helpful answer.

She checked out your form and smiled a fake warm smile.

"How old are you? You shouldn't be out here at this time of night!" She linked her arm around yours with her dirty hands. You shivered at the thought of where those had been.

"Are you cold dear? Come in here, it's warm and steamy in here..." She lead you down the stairs.

L.Joe's blood boiled with anger. *That dirty ...* He was about to attack when you bent down.

"Oh! I dropped something." You pulled out of her grip and bent down. When she turned around to see what you have dropped, you picked up a trash can lid and whacked her over the head with it. Making sure she was knocked out, you dragged her over to L.Joe. Both of you cringed at how exposed she was.

"Here." You dropped her at his feet. You leaned against the wall with your arms crossed.

L.Joe hesitated to take her blood but he was too hungry to resist.

"Do they remember what happened when they wake up?" You asked.

"No, they get temporary amnesia after I get their blood." He wiped his jaw clean.

-----

On the way back, you bought chicken for the others.

You sighed and followed L.Joe quietly with the exception of the plastic bag's rustling.

You were still wondering what had caused L.Joe's silent treatment. *Was it because I seemed to have 'stolen' his friends?*

"L.Joe shi... Were you upset with me?" You asked, sneaking up by his side.

He took one look at your round brown eyes.

He let out a hot breath of air that was trapped inside of him. "No, I'm not."

"Then why were you not talking to me earlier? And walking so fast? Did I do something wrong?"

"No you didn't... It's just that... the others..." He paused. "You know what? Don't worry about it..."

"No!" You refused. "I will worry whether you like it or not! Tell me!"

He looked at your aegyo and gave in after having a mental battle with himself.

"It's because... You got along so well with them within a few hours. I mean it when they're dangerous poeople but I guess it's only when they protect the area."

"And...?" You waited for more.

He sighed. "... and while you were having fun with them I was alone on the couch."

You felt bad. "I'm sorry L.Joe shi..."

He felt confused by the apology. "Why are you sorry?"

"Because I took your friends from you..." You pouted.

He blinked. *Pabo, I didn't want to spend time with them. I want to spend time with you.*

You looked up to see him already looking at you with light pink cheeks.

"L.Joe shi, why are you blushing?" You laughed brightly.

He turned away and smiled. "No reason..."
