How to stay alive (even though you're technically dead.)"....Is it bad or anything?"
"Not really, at least I don't think so. Everyone, except Yongguk, hasn't really accepted me because of it. Youngjae, Jongup, and Daehyun think that they've accepted me, but I see them flinch."
"Tell me, I swear I will act the same around you."
"Really?" Zelo's eyes pleaded with me, he needed to be certain before he revealed.
"Yes."
"I'm a-"
"I'M BACK, AND I HAVE THE CHERRY TOMATOES! ZELO DIDN'T DESTROY ANYTHING THIS TIME, DID HE?"
"GODDAMMIT, YONGGUK, SHUT THE HELL UP! ZELO WAS ABOUT TO TELL ME WHAT HE WAS!"
It was too late, Zelo had already pounced on the boxes that Yongguk was holding.
He had already started stuffing his cheeks with cherry tomatoes.
Lost in his own little world, he put more and more tomatoes in.
When his cheeks puffed out to the fullest, he started chewing.
In euphoria, he swayed slightly, at his happiest point.
I sighed, and decided not to press the issue any farther.
I shot daggers at Yongguk, and he smiled sheepishly back.
I'm sorry
Don't talk to me right now.
Zelo shuffled out the door, his arms full with tomato boxes.
He had sensed the darkening atmosphere and he left us to work it out.
"I'm sorry~ Talk to me?"
I didn't respond and turned to face the wall.
"Himchan."
"HIMCHAN, PLEASE TALK TO ME AGAIN."
His eyes welled up with tears and he started to sniffle.
"Okay, okay. Don't cry."
He smiled instantly, brushing the water droplets away.
"ing crocodile tears."
"Aw, don't be too bitter, jagiya."
"What did you call me?"
He backtracked frantically, trying to bluff his way out.
"I said not to be bitter."
"After that."
"I didn't say anything."
"Yongguk. Tell. Me."
He sighed.
"I said jagiya."
"Say it again."
"Why? Are you trying t-"
"Just say the word."
"Jagiya."
I smiled.
Why did I like it so much?
I carefully sat next to him.
"Himchan?"
"Yongguk, I think.." I trailed off, pondering.
"Think what?" His voice was thick with anticipation.
"I think we should get some pizza."
I don't like him. I DON'T LIKE YONGGUK. He turned me. He made me into a bloodsucking freak. He made me into this pathetic, worthless piece of crap.
I half heartedly convinced myself that, forgetting that vampires could read minds.
Yongguk looked away, his eyes sad.
He walked away from me, leaving the house.
Half a second too late, I remembered that fact.
