Kapitel 12: Blankie
Ugh, the slight pain in my head had then woken me up from my sleep. It's like a hangover but did we even drink last night? Wait... Didn't we go to Out4Blood's room and then... I sat up and checked my wrist; as expected, it was patched. Peeling the patch off, I began remembering what went down in that room, their CEO was there and apparently, she's a vampire, too.
But as I touched the bite on my wrist, there was something else that was invading my mind. I furiously blushed as the only thing that pops into my head was the way Kangwoo licks his wet, cold tongue on my wrist. Oh, god, I feel like a pervert! I should do something else so I won't think of it anymore but then when I stood up something had dropped on the floor that had been resting on me.
A jacket...? But whose jacket is this? I took it and held it up to see if I could identify to whom this piece of clothing belongs. It's too big to be Justin's and a bit long for either Vince or Louie, just who does this jacket belong to? I then unconsciously brought it near my face and sniffed it. What? I had then questioned myself why I did that but then again, the perfume on this jacket is somewhat familiar, just where did I smell it?
And then seconds after, a figure went inside the room, "Oh, you're awake…" It was Vince, coming in to check on me, I guess. "How are you feeling? We're totally wasted last night if you could remember." I then raised a brow at him, did we…? Oh, it must be their doing again. "Yeah, everything was a blur last night. After meeting their CEO, the group invited us to have a drink. Heh, who would've thought that Soju was that heavy? Justin and you girls were totally knocked out! The group helped us go back to our room. That's Kangwoo's jacket, by the way…".
Kangwoo's…? Oh, that must be it, that's why it smells familiar. Huh, why do I even remember his perfume? "Do you remember what Ms. Hong Min Soo said to us…?" Vince looked confused at me but he did reply to me, "Well, she wanted to check out us because of what happened yesterday and to assure us that they will do their best to minimize the situation.".
"That's it…?"
"Yeah… Should there be more…?"
"Oh, no… I just… you know, can't really remember much." I then forced a laugh out of myself. Well, I actually can't remember because it wasn't what really happened last night.
"Wow, that Soju really kicked our asses, huh…? Anyway, Ebony and Louie are already up and having coffee. The kids are still asleep but I'm going to wake them up soon. You go get your coffee, too."
"Alright, thanks, Vince… Um, would you mind if I return this jacket, first…?"
Vince had then given me a teasing look and grinned at me, "Just can't wait to see Kangwoo, huh…?".
I then slightly blushed, what does he mean by that? "What? No. I just don't like having stuff that isn't mine.".
He tried containing his amusement but I can totally see it. "Alright, go on ahead… But don't take too long, we still have a vacation to enjoy.".
After washing up a bit, I then headed out to their room. I wanted it to be over quickly but I stood by the door for a good five minutes before I finally gathered up the courage and knocked on their door. While patiently waiting, I was contemplating how to give the jacket. Should I say thank you, first…? Should I greet him…? Should I just give it to him without saying a word…? Well, definitely not that, that's rude –
I was then surprised by a voice behind me since I was looking away from the door as I talked to myself. "[Why, hello there, sweet blood.]", I jerked a little then turned behind me. It was Kangwoo who was leaning at their door with a towel hanging over his shoulder. Judging from his wet hair, he just finished washing up before opening the door, "[It's quite early to be visiting, don't you think…?]".
Damn, he looks good. I blankly stared at him for a while before I remembered the purpose of the visit. "Um… I'm here to return this." I then handed him his jacket, "W – We're going out early so I thought of returning this as early as possible before I forget to return it..."
"[Like Jyuji's scarf and Dongwu's cap…?]" Oh, crap! Now that he mentioned it, I haven't really returned those items too. I slightly panicked as I was reminded of it, "[Just keep it.]". Hmm…? Keep it…? What? His jacket…?
"I can't, it's too big..."
"[Then use it as a blankie.]" Blankie…? How old does he think I am?
"Do I look like a 5-year-old...?"
He then grinned at me then said, "That way, you'll always have my scent on you.". I blushed a bit at his chosen words and he told them in English, so I won't misunderstand. Why? Why does he always say that? Like he wants something else other than my blood.
"Why did you even invite us last night?" I had then covered my mouth. I was in a daze that I didn't realize that I sprouted the question that is lingering inside my head. "I'm – I'm sorry, it just slipped out. I –".
He then straightened up and dries his hair using his towel. "[Min Soo – nim got intrigued when we told her about you… How she got here so fast? It's kind of a secret so I can't tell you.]". This is crazy, we're talking in two different languages yet we understand each other. "[Because of your 'resistance' to our abilities, she took a liking to you, sweet blood.]".
He then casually took one of my hands then bit my finger! "Ah…".
But his bite wasn't as painful as before, "[But don't worry, I found you first.]".
