Chapter 25: Let Me Reintroduce Myself Again
A moment ago while Han Seoyeon was facing Mr. Sam, Jung Hwa sensed something wrong when he heard his phone rang out. Brushing his eyes, he placed the phone to hear a very faint voices. To human they could never possibly perceive what they were saying as their voice sounded muffled as if someone spoke underwater. However, Jung Hwa was a different case. Being a pure blood vampire, his sharp ears was fast to comprehend the quarrels that they had.
He was still in his room at that time. Logically speaking the distance between Han Seoyeon now and him took almost thirty minutes, the fastest. But he knew a better way than a human's ride. Bitting his wrist he pierced down his white skin and created a large wound on his wrist. As his deep red blood fell down to the the ground like a living web, it spread at once. Jung Hwa's black eyes had turned red when he reflected his blood. "Bring me to her." He ordered to his blood and the red liquid dissolved to a red haze, enveloping him like a red storm.
When the haze disappeared from his room, Jung Hwa arrived at the place to see the man she had dispute with was already laying on the ground. But what made his eyes turned alarmed was when he smelled the sweet scent of blood from her.
He stepped one feet down on the man and reached out his hand. "You're bleeding." Said Jung Hwa while furrowing his brows. He glanced down at the man who had fainted. He was the one who wounded her? The thought turned his gaze deadly.
"It's not a deep wound, it's only a scratch, thank you for your worries CEO Jung-" Han Seoyeon tried to explain but he wasn't in the mood to hear her explanation as at that time the scent of blood had filled his vision.
Jung Hwa felt heat passing by to his eyes before his mind became fuzzy from the sweet intoxicating scent of the blood. He took a step forward, seeing blood trailing down from Han Seoyeon's wrist. How hateful, he thought. For such a sweet smelling blood to be wasted on the cold ground was far too wasteful in his eyes that he almost loses his reasoning.
He took her hand, bending his back to take her arm and fold her sleeves to have a good look at where the wound started. Brushing his red gaze to the mdiagonal cut blooming red to her white skin, he sank down to his desire. He placed her hand closer to his lips, sticking out his tongue slightly to taste the sweet drops of the red liquid to his mouth.
He felt her hand flinched in shivers and a gasp that escaped from her lips belled on his ears. "CEO Jung, it's unhygienic please stop-"
It was what she said but he didn't want to stop. He want to taste more, more of her and only that thought filled his mind.
As pureblood vampires can retract their fangs as they will to appear more like a human, now his fang grew out out of his thirst. He licked her wrist so there wouldn't be any drop to waste. He didn't know when did he pushed her against the wall but he didn't also think to retract his moves. Placing his arm next his head, they came face to face, staring at each other for sparkles of red to shift across his gaze. He inclined his chin, turning down to land on her neck.
Finally, Han Seoyeon snapped out to her mind. As she was in lost at what she should do, she only gathered both of her palms and murmured a 'sorry' before clasping her palms harshly to both of his cheeks.
Feeling a burned feeling on his cheeks, Jung Hwa also snapped out from his daze and noticed that he almost bite her nape.
Yet the two stood there, freezing for a full minute.
"A vampire?" She asked for him to pull a grin after looking at her dumbfounded expression. "Yes." He confirmed.
His right arm was still over her head for Han Seoyeon to stay at her position without a path to retreat. "It's late but as you have know my identity, Secretary Han. I will introduce myself again. I'm Jung Hwa, a pureblood vampire."
"Wait-" Han Seoyeon was taken aback by his declarement, almost forgot her ability to speech.
"Here isn't the best place to hold a conversation." Jung Hwa spoke again, taking a step back to retract his arm from her. She looked at his scarlet eyes that had turned back to a calm black color. "Your home is near here, I suppose? Let's go there." Without waiting for Han Seoyeon who was the owner of the room, he had marched of first.
"Wait, CEO Jung!" She exclaimed. She had just finally gathered her thoughts of him being a vampire but now what? He wants to go to her apartment?
But the man seemed to insist on going to her apartment and when she saw him walked to a other direction she ran toward him to tug his cardigan sleeve. "What?" He asked.
"My apartment isn't that way." She spoke, a helpless sigh came over her lips. For now she's half sure he's dangerous and half sure he is not. But if he planned to erase her existence, he would have done it earlier, she thought.
Crossing his arm behind his back, he pulled a grin sweetly. "Show me the way then."
"But." She trailed her words and gazed over the unconscious Mr. Sam. "What about him?"
Jung Hwa look coldly over the laying man, wondering why she would care about such a trash and spoke lightly. "He only have a few broken ribs, nothing to be fear upon. Also, my men would do something about him so you could leave him there. Let's go." He repeated. My men? Knowing how Jung Hwa dislike repeating words over and over again, she walked before him showing his way to her house while feeling jittery on her way.
Chapter 26: Like a Rabbit and a Lion
The windy dusk felt colder in Winter, but tonight it felt colder for Han Seoyeon as she had just saw and heard something almost impossible. She felt that she was dreaming but she knew better than anyone that right now she's wide awake. Having nothing to talk in between their walk, Han Seoyeon used her time to form her chaotic mind. Vampire, beings of the night that drinks human blood. All this time, she had never seen a real vampire but her evidence was almost enough.
That time when she couldn't break free from his grip on her wrist, she understood that their difference in power wasn't due to his strong muscle but because he was a supernatural being.
In her thoughts, abruptly Han Seoyeon's steps stopped. If someone knows he is a vampire, wouldn't he would use any way possible to hide his real identity? Perhaps something like killing her now?
Then, inviting him to her apartment was a wrong choice isn't it?
"So this is your house." Jung Hwa's voice made Han Seoyeon to jolt from her place. She looked at him and gulped.
Just what kind of luck she has? First the blind date opponent that she rejected was her boss and now, her boss is a vampire!
Jung Hwa saw the different expressions that she made and had himself hardly pursed his lips to not laugh at her behavior that he saw as adorable. "Which floor do you live in? The second?"
"Uh?" Han Seoyeon balled her hand. What's done is done! She could only bet to the kindness she believed Jung Hwa had. "Yes."
The two ascended the staircase, stopping at the second floor for Han Seoyeon to unlock her room and pushed down the knob. Turning all the lights possible in her living room, she led the man in.
Turning, she saw Jung Hwa standing tall in her room and looked somewhat unsuitable to her room. He didn't waited for her to offer him a seat and did walk to find his own place to eat on. Crossing his leg, he stared at her back and smiled. Han Seoyeon didn't noticed that she had been staring at him and avoided his eyes in reflex.
Calm down, what should I do now? Han Seoyeon inquired herself. Her almost hundreds of past works experiences work very excellent to her as she was able to calm her thoughts first.
"What do you want to drink, CEO Jung?" She asked but then noticed how stupid she was for asking what a vampire would like to drink in her house.
"Pfft-" Jung Hwa couldn't handle his laugh and covered his mouth with a childish laughter. "You don't have to be on edge, Secretary Han. Take a seat." He offered as though he was the owner of the house. But she wasn't in the position to ask, when he told her to sit, she did took one across him.
"Are you really a Vampire?" She inquired for him to nod. "Do you not believe me?"
"It's just too impossible." Han Seoyeon rubbed her temple and flick her fingernails.
Jung Hwa hummed. True, to humans the vampires of supernaturals that lived in tales and novels. For them to suddenly appear, it would be surprising. "Look at your wrist then."
Han Seoyeon lifted a brows vaguely and folded her sleeve again to see that the previous cut wound that scarred her wrist on the fight with the head manager had disappeared magically. Her eyes widened, she turned her hand, rubbing her eyes but the wound really disappeared or perhaps healed? There wasn't a single scar that her wrist was wounded. It must have healed that time when he licked her wound
"It's our a ability you see. I guess humans know this too? They had it on their books." He spoke lazily seeming uninterested as if he was talking of other's matter.
"So what are you going to do now?" Finally swallowing the reality against her eyes. Han Seoyeon asked, dropping her formality with an alarmed tone.
Jung Hwa smiled devilishly. "Do you mean, am I going to dispose you?" His sharp ears pick up the sound of her calm heartbeat slowly giving a discord on its beats. He stared at her, studying Han Seoyeon gulping. The palm over her skirt tightened. "Of course I wouldn't do that. You read too much novels, Secretary Han."
Han Seoyeon glanced up at him. From his tone, he sounded very carefree, seemingly doesn't care that Han Seoyeon had found out his identity as a vampire. Of course Jung Hwa knew what she was thinking. Bringing his head forward, he turned his eyes to a red color. "Vampires you see, almost all of use mingles with humans very well that you could never perceive the, by eyes. They have powerful body. But what else do you think makes them stronger?"
He gave a judging question. Now their position almost like a predator and a prey. "I don't know." She replied.
"As I said earlier, we are everywhere. We have power in human's society much more than you could ever think. Politics, economies, press, and police. We are strong yet humans doesn't notice us, so you must understand how powerful we are right?"
Of course, there had never been once when Han Seoyeon ever heard that vampires are real. If they could do what they like outside by impersonating human's lifestyle no one would ever know they're different from others with their appearance. However, if like earlier Han Seoyeon noticed he's a vampire by accident, he must have other choices to quiet her down with the help of the rest of the vampires on their society.
"Rumors are a problem of course especially in my office. But I don't have to worry about you spilling something out." His red gaze peered down to her, looking as bright as a red moon of blood. "You won't, right?"
Han Seoyeon gulped and shook her head firmly. Now she doesn't have to think about her work anymore as she must be fired now, won't she?
"Perfect, tomorrow come to the office earlier. Although I am vampire, I don't have any weakness. Be careful with blood especially because out of conditional reflex, my eyes color could return back to red. Human's meal are eatable for me, however, I don't often eat them."
"Wait." Han Seoyeon halted when she heard him speaking fluently. "Are you keeping me in the position to keep an eye on me?" Like a rabbit and a lion?
