Caught
Eternal FlameAfter putting the first aid kit away, Hyunjoong sat back down on the bed. He reached his hand out and gently brushed the boy's hair off his face. He has no glasses right now... I wonder what he'll look like without them...
Youngsaeng's chest steadily rose up and down as he inhaled and exhaled. Hyunjoong crawled under the covers beside the boy and stared at the latter. He could hear his heart thumping and his cheeks heating up. Now I know what Key meant... That milky, smooth skin... He looks to tempting... I wonder what his blood tastes like...
He heard the boy groan slightly and saw that he was beginning to stir. Quickly sitting up, he watched as Youngsaeng opened his eyes. He looks even more beautiful without glasses... Wow, amazing... I didn't think someone like him existed.
"Where... Where am I...?" he heard Youngsaeng murmur as the boy tried to sit up but then winced and fell back, holding his wrists in pain. Hyunjoong quickly helped him sit up.
"You're in the Night class dorm," Hyunjoong replied quietly.
"Ah... Were you the one that stopped the boys? Thanks. I owe you..." Youngsaeng said gratefully with a bow and looked at his wrist, frowning.
"Do... You, by any chance, know why they were doing that stuff to you?"
The boy furrowed his eyebrows and thought for a while but shook his head. "Not really... I think it was something about taking away their girlfriends..."
Hyunjoong's mouth gaped open. "Really? Bullying you over something like that?"
Y-You're Hyunjoong, right?"
The older boy's eyes widened as his heart skipped a beat. "You remember me?"
"Y-Yeah..." Youngsaeng stuttered, his cheeks light pink with embarrassment.
Hyunjoong blushed and there was an awkward silence before Youngsaeng began sliding off the bed. Hyunjoong grabbed his arm. "Where are you going?"
"I think I've overstayed my visit," he remarked with a light smile. "I should be heading back. I know I'm not allowed in the Night class dorms. After all, I'm hu--" He suddenly gasped and immediately closed his mouth.
Hyunjoong's pupils dilated and pulled the boy closer. "What were you going to say? Tell me. Say it."
Youngsaeng frantically shook his head. "N-No... Nothing... A-After all... The Headmaster wouldn't allow it... That's what I was going to say... That's all."
"No," the older boy cut in, narrowing his eyes. "You were saying that you're human and that's why you're not allowed in the Night class dorms. That means you know we're vampires, don't you?"
"No! I... I didn't know!" Youngsaeng denied in panic. "I really didn't know."
"Then how come you aren't shocked?" Hyunjoong persisted. "How did you know that the Night class were vampires?"
"I-I..."
"Tell me the truth!"
The younger boy looked away as he gulped nervously, shivering slightly. He opened his mouth to speak, his lips trembling. His hands were clenching together tightly. "I..." he started slowly, his voice shaking.
Hyunjoong calmed down and realised that he had scared the boy. Hurriedly, he grabbed the boy's arm and pulled him down onto the bed, covering him with the blanket. "Here. You don't have to force yourself to tell me right now. Go to sleep."
"But--"
"Just sleep," the older boy interrupted with a sigh. "I'm sorry that I might've scared you. You have to tell me later, though. I'm going out for a bit. Don't leave this room."
Youngsaeng quickly nodded and watched as Hyunjoong hurried out of the bedroom and into the hallway, slamming the door behind him.
