Dark ceilings, grey walls, well actually these grey walls really complemented my wooden furnitures along with these black and white others. I’m not really a fan of warm colours, I’d rather have these cool ones. I like how calming and cold my place is like there’s nothing colder than myself, my body. But these big windows, as much as I wanted to keep them as it lets the moonlight pass through at night, changing them is now on my to do list. Since it’s been years that my friends break into them like it’s some kind of a special entrance for vampires.

To: Naeun

How’s Eunji doing? I really didn’t mean to hurt her but she has to know what she’s missing.

I messaged Naeun as I was worried of Eunji, she’s my friend for a long time, and by long time I mean centuries of friendship. I feel bad about what I did but I know it’s something I had to do, I had to say. I don’t wanna lead her wrong because all I could think of this time is Bomi, Yoon Bomi.

From: Naeun

No need to worry unnie, we’re just playing scrabbles right now. She chose the game, surprisingly.

With that text alone, I knew Eunji’s fine. I don’t even know why I doubted about this when she’s been okay for as long as Naeun is with her. She really should see this, maybe I’ll play cupid for the two.

“Thank you. Come again.” Bomi. And yes I found myself outside the convenience store. Can’t help it, I already see myself coming to watch her every second I could. “Chorong?”

“Oh! Hi!” I didn’t plan to actually have another date night with her but well of course she’ll see me, I’m not invisible. I’m just a vampire.

“Where were you and Meung?” She asked, now I feel bad not for ditching the class but for lying about seeing her in this afternoon.

“Uhm. I suddenly felt sick and asked Meung to bring me home.” I can’t lie to her twice, I did felt sick. Sick of not being able to hold her like I wanted to, sick of still not being with her when we’re supposed to be together together.

“And yet you are out here? Hold on let me check.” Then I felt her warmth, her hands on my forehead. Is she worried? She is worried.

“I don’t think she’s sick anymore, she ain’t warm. Actually she’s too cold.” Oh no. Think. Chorong, think.

“I- I’m fine now, Bomi. But I was thinking if I scared you with all that blood stoping act I did.” As much as I hate to remind her about it, I have no other stuff to talk her with.

“You mean that blood you did?” She chuckles, cute. “No worries about that.” This is just one of the reasons why I love her, she’s easy to get along with. “You know if you’re a vampire I’d even let you bite me here.” And she shifted her hair all to the right so I’d see her white skin, her neck, and the temptation is real. What were you thinking Yoon Bomi?

“That’s a little..”

“Too soon?”

“Yes. Too soon. But hey at least I know we’re heading somewhere.” I swear she can always make me feel so light after that confrontation with Eunji, Bomi will always be my cure.

“We’re heading somewhere?” 

“Stop twisting my words when it’s you who made me say it!” And we’re now laughing together so casually. I’m really living for this, I get to have all this early stages of dating with Bomi. A lot. And it doesn’t really kill the the fun in it after having it every lifetime. I still get that electrifying feeling.

“Uhm excuse me? I’d like to pay for these.” Okay who’s ruining our moment. Do you want to die?

“Oh sorry.” Bomi apologised to the customer. “Chorong let me just finish my shift and we’ll-”

“Ramen?” I asked, another ramen wouldn’t be so bad. It could be our new thing.

“No. Ramen is not good for you, you were sick and you need home-cooked meal. I’ll cook for you.” When I said new thing I didn’t expect this, her cooking for me. She surprises me every lifetime, I didn’t know it’s possible to love her more than I already does.

I waited for Bomi outside, near enough to watch her and listen to her.  I never intended to go too fast on the progress of having her back but with everything going smoothly, I really don’t mind.

“Should I cook something easy? Something safe? I wanted to impress her but I might get nervous and ruin it.” Hearing her think of what we’ll have later makes me smile alone like a weird woman. As long as her mind is off on any suspicions about our kind, I think we’re safe.

“She will figure out about you three soon. You guys spilled so many hints already.” That would be my friend Namjoo, I guess she is still in town.

“Don’t worry about it Namjoo-ya. We’ll cover it all up and if worst comes to worst, I’ll leave like how I did in the past.” Yes. I did it once, left Bomi with no track of me. I even asked for Namjoo’s abili
