NINE: Forest

Pureblood
Please Subscribe to read the full chapter

This place is definitely where I feel the safest. It isn’t just a normal Mansion with just the massive gate, it’s a whole damn forest. Secured that no one can enter other than relatives and close friends. Bomi and I passed the gates but still had to take a good long ride to reach the main grounds. 

Soon we felt someone plunged on Eunji’s car roof. As expected, I haven’t been home for so long so this is totally normal but it isn’t the welcome Bomi expected for she did flinch at the sudden surprise. “I’m sorry about that, it must be one of my.. siblings.”

“Open up!” That would be Jiyoon. I did as told and open the backseat windows for Jiyoon to jump right inside the moving vehicle. “Damn her scent is really-”

“Don’t scare her, Jiyoon. Is dad home?” I asked but as soon as I look at my side, it scared me to death to see Jiyoon sniffing on Bomi’s neck. “What the hell, Jiyoonie!”

Bomi back from the terrifying incident in the old factory, I expected her to be shaking and shedding tears of fear but surprisingly she’s not. “She’s cute.” Bomi said ruffling Jiyoon’s hair like it’s her very own little sister. “You’re one of the good vampires?” Bomi asked her and Jiyoon could only laugh at the statement she heard.

“Yes, I’m a good vampire! Oh, we’ve been waiting for you.” Jiyoon said as she sit right back and continued, “And Yes Chorong unnie, dad is here.”

It’s good that he’s here, I need to talk to him about my plans. And I needed it to be quick but as soon as we finally entered the hall, I saw my family lined up and smiling at the sight of Bomi.

“Good morning, Yoon Bomi.” my father greeted her as he held her hands, I knew he’s studying her heart whether she brings good or bad energy. His given gift is really weird. 

Everyone in the room knows what he’s doing except for Bomi who’s just there standing still and not knowing what to do next.

“She’s good.” my dad speak his thoughts and as my mother heard it, she walks to their direction and hugged Bomi.

“Oh you’re holding her for so long honey, she must be scared of vampires.” 

“I’m not, Mrs. Park. It's fine.” I can see Bomi returning the hug and it melts my heart to see her right now with my family as they welcome her with such warmth despite our cold bodies. 

In this family the only purebloods are me and my parents, my so called siblings are adopted by my father as they either lost their family or just a random vampire left by their creator. As long as their heart is good, my father doesn’t even have to think twice into taking them in and train them to be our own.

“Hi, I’m Subin! And this is Seungwoo!” my brothers introduced themselves and I already know what they’re about to do. Bomi is warm, they'll definitely go for it. “Can we get a hug?” they asked (oh, I knew it) but didn’t wait for Bomi’s answer and instead hug her in an instant. 

“Tss. Now that’s too much, this is my human.” I told them pulling her away and I felt Bomi tighten her grip on my hand. 

“They’re really lovely, don’t worry about me too much.” Bomi said in her thoughts and it amaze me how much she’s learning.

I continued looking at her as I nod in agreement, at least she knows that she’s in a safe place right now and that everything will be okay as long as we stay in my father’s premises.

“She really do love the human, look at the way she looks at her honey.” I am surprised to hear my mom’s thoughts, “Bomi seems to like her just as much too.” and my dad’s. Now it’s making me feel a little embarrassed at the flirting Bomi and I just did. I guess I’ll always be that little princess in their eyes.

“I know what y’all are doing! Stop stop.” Jiyoon said talking about the pureblood thing with thoughts. I must say having her in this house sure lighten up the atmosphere of this place, she’s just like Bomi.

“Bomi? Would you mind helping me for breakfast?” my mother offered that Bomi gladly accepts. Suddenly I felt bad knowing that she probably will miss her own mom after this cooking, but also afraid that she’ll leave and choose to just go back and live her life instead. She may have said that she really wanted to stay with me all over again but I can’t help it, I worry a lot when it’s about her.

 

After having breakfast with the family, my father hosted this marathon with us siblings where him and mom would stand on opposite ends of this whole forest and we run back and forth. 

“What do we get when we win?” Subin asked now feeling the competitiveness in his soul.

“Blood?” my father answered and everyone stretches and position themselves in front of our dad as my mom sprinted to the other end.

“As long as Chorong unnie doesn’t join, it’s a fair battle.” Jiyoon stated and I really don’t feel like joining as I’d rather stay with Bomi and watch the whole thing. 

“Do you want to go to the tower? I don’t know if you’ll actually get to see the game but the view up there is so much better.” I told Bomi as she smiled and said yes. “Come.” I offered my back for her to hop in and I’m gl

Chapter 23: uweehee!! Having them together in this eases my worries greatly too HEHEHE it's fluff!! our couple!! before going into battle~ I have to say all that jumping off the cliff is really a heart attack from Yoon Bomi but well.. what other way is there to practice Chorong's death-defying stunt abilities? It's the right tension and yet there's the hilarity of the situation xD The little jealousy to begin with too! And ending it off with full sleep cuddles, the greasiness gone so abruptly pfftthahaha, but oooo "the one and only heir that I adore" - not even subtle!&@! My heart's been filled up again. I didn't realise they would reunite going into this battle, thinking it was Chorong's mission to prove, but now that they are, I'm treasuring that strength in togetherness even more.. T.T It's about fighting alongside each other in battle! And being with loved ones is strong, not weak at all. Thank you for the updateee<3

Chapter 23: The chapter begins with Chorong being very confident in her plan of attack: how many people she needs and what their role is going to be. Chorong has spent decades hunting ghouls and was very good at it, so of course she should be confident about her plan. Yet, just a few lines later, Chorong has that little moment where she starts feeling a bit anxious about her plan and questionning her decision to bring a small number of people with her... It's the simple things like this that always get me. The little moments that make the characters feel real. :D

When Chorong and her group started setting up their camp, I started thinking... Bomi has been keeping an eye on Chorong for so many years now, watching over her when she was doing commissions for the government, there's no way she's going to let Chorong go on her first leading battle without checking in on her. Surely enough, Bomi did not disappoint! She came back early, as Chorong pointed out, but no one is going to complain about it when it means getting sweet chobom moments. <3

That thought about people knowing Bomi as the next President, but Chorong knowing the real Yoon Bomi. <3 <3 <3

I'm happy Chorong is finally mastering her power. The fact that she was training with Bomi made it perfect.

In life, we usually associate comfort with warmth. But here, in this vampire story, Chorong compared Bomi's kiss and the comfort it brought her to a cold night. That was genius!

At the end of the chapter, when Chorong goes to talk with her people and Bomi slows down her steps... That moment was so perfect! This is Chorong's moment to showcase her leadership and Bomi knows that. With Bomi's high position in the vampire world, walking side by side with Chorong while she addresses her people could bring some confusion as to who is really calling the shots here (Chorong or the government). By walking behind Chorong, Bomi shows her support to "the great heir" without overshadowing her. This was such a key element for me, I never would've thought about it myself and I applaud you for including it.

And yes! Every Chobom update we had felt like a small victory. A step in the right direction on the path to get back our Chorong and Apink!

Chapter 23: can a vampire get a heart attack? I think chorong almost got one in this chapter

That being said, i like how on previous chapters her friends use bomi image to wake chorong's power while here bomi herself help chorong to master her power. bomi's crazy btw.
most of chobom moments are happy and serene, they really are water to the fire for each other :') anyway it's calm before the storm, and I really can't wait to see them kicking on their first mission together

Ps. Just like when she boldly held chorong waist in front of soeun, ofc she make sure everyone on the mission know chorong is hers. Bomi can act indifferent all she wants with chorong but I know a jealousy is when I see it :p

Chapter 22: I'm finally here!! HAHAHA ah the chapter I've been looking forward to between my studies~ Chorong's becoming a leader woowoo! but there are many more things to question and be suspicious about. I wonder how every detail Chorong latches onto will play out? Things she's not being told, Hyungdon's unavailability in that time... Hmm! I'm so glad to see the conversation with Seungwoo after all this being resolved :) That lesson Chorong has to remember about her loved ones is echoing around with that. And 5 more days, how will that be~
Thank you for the chapter and on chobom day!! Right the photo ackkk not only Chorong but it's chobom and the first we've seen Chorong in forever! T.T I was already missing Bomi in this chapter too HAHA Chorong's feelings with being apart I just hold onto so easily :')

Chapter 22: Chorong has been having so many questions for so long and people have been rather evasive in their answers most of the time. Now that her ascension day is imminent, with all the responsibilities coming with it, plus the impending war, it makes sense that she wants answers now more than ever. Also, I find it fitting that Seungwoo ends up being the one to finally give her a little bit of information, giving the history between the two and the fact that he wasn't even supposed to know what he knows to begin with.

Chorong missing Bomi and the way you described it was such a sweet moment. <3
While on the subject... When Chobom were together, Chorong was able to put her negative thoughts aside. She was simply happy. But once she spends time away from Bomi and misses her, her insecurities about Bomi's position and the weight of their responsibilities all come bubbling back up to the surface. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. It's one of many examples that illustrates just how much the Chorong from this story is a well rounded and believable character. Her emotions are relatable and help us connect with her more.

"My conversation with Seungwoo after that council meeting hits me like that boulder thrown by Namjoo."
OMG, that metaphor! XD
And it's another great example of how you're able to make this world believable by inserting little moments or thoughts that are specific to it.

Thank you for the update, I'm looking forward to see what happens next! :)

And yes, Bomi's instagram post with Chorong... I think a lot of people got emotional over these pictures. I know I did! I've been missing Apink, Chorong and Chobom so much. When my sister and I saw the pictures, we literally hugged each other with teary eyes. :')

Chapter 22: chorong already missing bomi on her way home(awww)and it reminds me of the times she waited bomi lifetimes to circle again.
she really went through a lot TT, and after bomi knows everything too no wonder they really can't keep their hand off each other now lol. the way they have four lifetimes of memory (especially chorong) but still act like they're on the first date always made me giddy ><

finally the siblings meet. good thing chorong and seungwoo meet now, the situation will be a whole lot different if they meet a few chapters back. so seungwoo come back home for her ascension day right? in five days and there's the mission too. i hope no unwanted happenings happened on those 5 days but hey the baton is on your hand ;)

i just like to pick up patterns and whatever information that intrigues me. i hope you wouldn't mind, and just ignore the question when it's necessary :))
just one more thing. all chorong questions and president's weird shenanigans will be explained when we know his power, isn't it?
