*** Note to self, never get too drown in conversation when you know you have something to attend in one hour, not when the venue is one and half an hour away by car while you know you have to went by foot. I end up arrived late to school after talking with KyungSoo earlier, heck I didn’t even remember I have school because I’ve been too busy thinking over his story if it's not for JoonMyeon and the rest of the pack barging into the kitchen and shocked when they see me still sitting on my seat deep in thought. I literally bolted out of the mansion after reminded that school start less than an hour,

 

“bugger” I muttered, looking at the yellow slip in distaste before crumple it in my fist and tuck it away inside my skirt pocket,

 

I start pulling on my books in hurry from the locker before a familiar voice called me and I recognized the owner immediately but keep my focus on sorting my today classes books, “Yeonnie where’ve you been? You’re not coming home this morning, did you staying over somewhere?” JungKook ask half whined as he lean down on to my neighbor locker, his hyungs did the same around us, crowding me like some kind of predators surrounding their prey except, that’s not the case at all, if anything, I was the predator now,

 

Huffing in annoyance, I drop the last book into my bag then turn around, making the boys took a step back unconsciously “yup, I did stay over and news flash for you darling, I do have a friends outside this hell hole, so now if you’ll excuse me, I’m already late for my first class, see you later” I said in one breath and push NamJoon and SeokJin aside to make a way for me then walk away from the spot in fast pace, leaving only a trail of wind behind me as a soft breeze caressed me while walking,

 

Little did I know, that gush of wind carried my scents along to the boys to notice something that previously slipped of off their attention,

 

“why’s she smelled like wet dogs?”.

 

 

*** Second period...

 

“JooYeon-ahh come here”, “sorry oppa I’m late for class”, Yoongi,

 

Dinner time...

 

“Baby let's go grab some food”, “go by yourself I’m busy”, Jimin and JungKook,

 

Third period...

 

“Lee JooYeon I save you a seat at the back of the classroom” “for your information Einstein, I can’t see anything from here”, I went for the front seat leaving the boy gawking at the sight of my back,  NamJoon,

 

I’ve been turning down the boys attempt to get to my good side all night. Am I being too cruel? Uh, am I? You really think so? But that’s not my fault, I really am either late for class, busy or didn’t like the thing they did! It's not like I’ve avoiding them on purpose like I used to, this is purely coincidence. Like how it's really is such a good time to skip one of the class I have with SeokJin and TaeHyung because I felt dizzy and unwell right now, so instead of walk towards Professor Yoo class in the lower level, I make my way to the astronomy tower, knowing well that place was empty at this time of night. I could use some star gazing to calm this nausea,

 

“you really should stop running away from us JooYeon-ahh”, one particularly voice snap me back from my trail of thought and I turn my head to look at the intruder, “well, hello to you to mister hypocrite because I think I was the one who should say that that sentence to you, done running away from me?” I shot back sarcastically, turning my head back to the night sky. HoSeok chuckled as he walk inside the class and hopped on to the big open window board where I sat all along, sitting so close beside me that I could feel his body heat at the close distance of our bodies, thigh touching while our feet dangling freely outside the window,

 

“I’m sorry for making you chasing me then,”, I scoffed at this but let him do whatever he wants, “but seriously, what’s the deal anyway? You’ve avoiding us again for what is it again? Hundreds time?” he continued playfully and I roll my eyes,

 

“you’re exaggerating, and me avoiding you when you guys still onto my neck wasn’t even counted, for your information, I’m not avoiding nor running away from you this time” I simply answered, earning a lift of an eyebrow from him as I did so,

 

“are you?” he push again and I nod my head before crossed my arms in front of my chest. Time to tied the loose strands,

 

“now I’ve answered your question, your turn to answer mine, why are you running away from me Jung HoSeok?”, HoSeok smirked as he shrugged, turn his face away to look at the distance,

 

I wait for his answer patiently and believe me I wasn’t a patient person to begin with. I don’t know why but with HoSeok, I feel like I shouldn’t push to hard or he’ll run again. “honestly? I’m just teasing you,”, his answer came smoothly and there’s no faking it, he’s being honest. Without any single words, I brought my hand to land a good smack on the back of his head and he yelped,

 

“yah! What’s that for?!”,

 

I clucked my tongue in annoyance “for being a pain in the ”. HoSeok scowled as he massaged the smacked spot, grumbling “you’re the one avoiding me first”,

 

“where’d you go last night? We’re staying over at Lee household but turn out you’re not coming home at all” his turn to ask and without we realized it, hundred question tag game begin,

 

“a friend place”,

 

HoSeok raised an eyebrow “what friend?”, I nudge his ribcage “your turn’s over, its my turn to ask now, so shut up”, he pouted,

 

“you remember the day I almost stole Jimin’s soul?” I began and he hummed, telling me to continue “what’s with the monster thing? What are you hiding HoSeok?”,

 

At this question, HoSeok froze and I turn my head to look at him, frowning as I saw his face blanked, replacing all the playfulness from his face with a dark and cold looks then I sense it again. The cold and dangerous aura that emerged out of him alongside the negative and dark feelings that sent shivers down my spine, the delicious taste of evil intention burn my throat,

 

“hiding? I’m not hiding anything from you, not at all, instead, I’m showing it to you because you’re my mate, you’ll find out sooner or later anyway” he answered, his voice dropped a few octave lower as he turn to look at me and I bit the upcoming gasp that threatened out of my lips. That’s when I saw it, the side of HoSeok that made me curious and been haunted me ever since that time I saw a glimpse of him,

 

Its like flipping a paper with two different side, one stark white while the other was charcoal black, there’s no in between

 

Smirking at my star struck  state, HoSeok lean forward until his warm breath hit my face and his scents clouded mine, calming scent of sandalwoods mixed with fresh pine tree attack me and I felt my fangs grow. Now I remember why I felt so dizzy today, I haven’t been drinking any blood lately,

 

“my turn, now tell me, love, why’d you have Werewolves scents all over you? Have you been rolling around in the mud with one whenever you go out?” he practically hissing now,

 

That shocked me and I pulled away instantly but HoSeok acted fast and grab my wrist “come one, play fair, answer me” he slurred, the looks in his face tell me that he’s not in his gaming mood right now and I couldn’t help but gulped in fear before unconsciously nods my head. HoSeok eyes gleamed dangerously as he pull me back “you ask about monster earlier? I bet you wanted to know why did I stop you from calling yourself a monster even after what you did to Jimin, you wanted to know why?”,

 

I gasped when his fangs grazed the skin on the crook of my neck slightly and he growled “you have no idea how bad I want to tore your neck open”, I felt a tear threatened to fall from the corner of my eyes before a low chuckles startled me, “but you’ll die if I drink from you”,

 

HoSeok pull away to plant a ghosting kiss on my slightly opened lips “I know you’ve felt him,” he talk anonymously,

 

“my inner demon,”, he bit on my bottom lip, enough to draw blood from the puncture wound,

 

“ever wonder why the old bluebeard lock one door and tell his wife to never open the room? But the wife just went and crossed the line” he mused out of the blue, looking up in a fake thoughtful manner before look back down at me with ominous smirk on his face. I clamped my lips shut,

 

“old bluebeard was a loving husband JooYeon, but he has his secret, a really dark secret, he obviously has demon in him, oh how I remember I always ask my mother to read me this story as a child and turn out I’m becoming him as I grow up”, I stayed still as he keep telling me of his sick obsession of the dark tale, seriously, if you ask for my opinion, Bluebeard wasn’t a tale for children, whose in their right mind reading their children about forced marriage and psychopath aristocrat whose hidden a heap of dead body inside one of the room in his mansion, I know many version were told, covering and fixing the dark truth to make it more presentable for children but still, that’s one twisted tale,

 

Not paying attention to my distance expression, HoSeok didn’t even paid a single care to gis surrounding while shadows crept closer and closer behind him, “now lets put our self in their place shall we? You’re crossing your line by going behind our back and befriending our race greatest enemy, Love, why’s that? Hm?”

 

“do you know how many people die in my hands? I could add one or two into the list now”,

 

I stared at him in disbelief “you’ve done the taboo aren’t you HoSeok? You’re killed your prey when you feed on them”, now its all makes sense, he let his demon run loose, letting his dark side control him, making him unstable and dangerous because of his constant changing self, it's close to a mental disorder, a doppelganger, a different personality of his, is this the side effect of draining the prey’s blood?,

 

HoSeok stared back at me with poker face on, “cat out of the bag, now

Its almost 1 year?? Since you updated?? :) im still waiting :(

Chapter 38: Yes, the boys need some punishment indeed. They've been forgiven rather easy, I say. The tortures are easier to be forgiven than the betrayal. The effect of betrayal is planted deep inside.

Chapter 38: Welcome back! you don’t know how happy i am when i see ur updating. Even i hate nara personality, i still hoping in the end would turn out better for her and tae friendship and ofc her relationship with jooyeon and the others boys. Andd ofc the appearance of the kims father i didn’t expect him to be that friendly and open to jooyeon (after all he’s still part of the council) hoping he will stay neutral till the end lol
