Chapter 31: Like in the novel.
There are several decisions that people make abruptly and then regret them. Oh Ryujin was now regretting picking up Jihwan and taking him to bed.
"How would you like to do this?" He asked nervously as he panicked inside.
What the fuck was I thinking? Am I really doing this with Cha Jihwan? What do I do?!
"I want to do it in no way, you creep," Jihwan snapped as he pushed Ryujin away whe he finished placing him on the bed.
"Aww! Don’t be like that! You were looking so forward to my novel that you were all grinning up to your ears.
Ryujin figured that it would be too embarrassing if he backed off easily after coming onto Jihwan first.
"Reading your novel doesn’t mean I want to do this shit with you!!"
"So you do admit to reading it?"
Ryujin chuckled and grinned.
"So, Secretary Cha, what do you want to be? Want take it or give it? Or should we take turns like in the novel?" Ryujin said slowly inching closer.
"You’re the most shameless person I’ve ever met," Jihwan said. "When are you actually going to let me go? It was just a lie, when you said you’d release me, right?"
"..."
"..."
"You’re probably stiffled here, right?" Ryujin’s eyes glistened as he saw a chance to escape. "Let me take you to a place."
He then promptly picked up Jihwan against his will again. By the time they reached the penthouse doorway, he had already given up struggling as it didn’t help anyway.
But, they weren’t going down the elevator. Jihwan was for the first time seeing anything outside the room where he had been staying.
He didn’t even know it was a penthouse. It did seem pretty up high from the windows but he never thought they would be at the very top.
Then, again, for Oh Ryujin it was probably just another one of his houses.
Jihwan looked around as the lift was see through. He could them going to the very rooftop. As they exited the elevator, they came across a door. It had a fingerprint sensor and Ryujin pressed his thumb making the door click open.
How rich-like.
Jihwan thought as he slowly started enjoying his free uber ride.
"Look up, this place is pretty high so there are a lot of stars visible. Too bad there’s no moon tonight," Ryujin said as sat down on a patio chair that was there near the glass railing.
Jihwan hadn’t even noticed that Ryujin sit down, his head was tilted back and he was looking up at the sky. He just stayed in Ryujin’s lap as it was the most comfortable place ever.
Ryujin was also looking up, not at the stars, but at his star.
A star that was now shining. Ryujin looked at Jihwan’s face. His skin was already pretty pale but it had become paler after the vampire transformation.
And his eyes, the green brilliantly shining eyes as they reflected the stars inside them. Ryujin lowered his gaze at his neck with his adam’s apple slightly poking out.
Without a second thought, he leaned in closer and licked the buldge on Jihwan’s neck.
"Anh!"
A surprised moan escaped Jihwan making him abruptly look down at Ryujin’s face.
For a long while, the two of them just stared at each other. Eyes looking into eyes and weighing the cost of what it would take if they went any further now.
Ryujin was the first to break contact and flipped Jihwan suddenly so that now he had his back towards Ryujin.
"When you start feeling a strange fascination for stars, that’s a sign that you’ve completely become a vampire," he said as he placed his forehead on Jihwan’s shoulder.
"There are some things you need to know before I let you go as I did promise to release you.
First of all, move to a place where you can star gaze and see the moon freely each night. If you don’t regularly see them, your healing capacity will slow down drastically.
Second, you can move around all right during mornings and evenings but never stay out much in sun during afternoons, otherwise you’re in for some nasty sunburn. Ah, be sure to wear sunscreen, that’s a non negotiable.
Third, you can eat almost everything normally but since your senses will be heightened, some foods might disgust you. Say goodbye to spicy food, or you might burn your tongue off.
Fourth, you’ll need to drink blood once a week. Doesn’t matter what blood, any will do, like animal, human, bird, doesn’t matter.
But if you don’t have it for more than a week, you’ll first go into a rut since you’re an alpha and then you’ll mindlessly attack any living thing with blood circulating inside them.
It’s like you’ll hear heartbeats and know what to attack but you’ll have no consciousness.
That’s all. If you want to know anyth, you can always come ask me."
There was a long silence after the sudden info dump by Oh Ryujin.
Jihwan seemed to be more interested in watching the stars. But Ryujin knew that the guy must’ve listened and remembered everything he said.
"Are you really letting me go?" Jihwan asked after a while.
"I mean, I have no reason to hold onto you anymore," Ryujin chuckled as he raised his head.
Jihwan turned back his head to face him. His green eyes pierced into his grey misty ones and he looked at him as if he believed not a single word he said.
"Are you sure you have no reason?"
"That almost sounds like you don’t want to be released."
"..."
"..."
"If I say, I want to stay, what would you do?"
"..."
Ryujin looked at the face and neck of this person who was looking at him with his back to him.
He looked so ridiculously alluring in the starlight that Ryujin could feel his heart jumping up and down.
"Why is your heartbeat so fast? I thought vampires had no heart," Jihwan said looking at Ryujin’s chest.
"That just folklore shit. What living thing as big as a human won’t have a heart?" Ryujin said never taking his eyes off Jihwan.
"President, you haven’t answered me."
"What would I do if you said that you wanted to stay?"
"Yes."
"I. I would most likely eat you."
"As food?"
"As a sexy meal, yeah."
"That didn’t sound much like food."
"Tell me, what other use do you think you’re to me?"
"Like... administration? Working files? Editing you novel that is full of typos?"
"I have see that you’re very much interested in the novel."
"Well, it’s not every day you see such a slutty and erotic writing."
"You seem impressed."
"More like I’m traumatised. It won’t leave my head."
"I know a way to make it leave."
"Huh? What..?"
Ryujin held Jihwan’s waist as he held Jihwan’s face towards him with the other hand.
And then with his eyes staring right into the emerald beads, he kissed the lips that were speaking so pretentiously to him.
The kiss was not deep or hungry, it looked more like a sort of flattering. Like how a girl would kiss her crush in school while confessing to him.
Jihwan felt it before but now it was even more clear. Oh Ryujin was awfully gentle and sweet in such acts compared to how he behaved and talked.
The kiss was persistent, like a butterfly continuously tapping ono a flower and not landing at all.
It wasn’t much enjoyable of a kiss but it felt more like being carrased than eaten.
Eat me, my foot. He looks like he’ll ask me how I’m feeling every minute if we have sex.
Cha Jihwan had managed to get a proper idea of how Oh Tyujin’s affections worked. And he was very much willing to go overboard with this information.
He opened his mouth and turned the flattering kissing into a deep eating session with all sorts of wet and squashing sound.
Oh Ryujin was taken in by shock. But he couldn’t stop either.
Fuck, I was trying so hard to hold back and be easy on him. But he just had to....!
And then began the kiss of ’who makes the other breathless first’ between the two of them.
And suddenly!
"Starlight, every time I look at you, the whole sky feels quieter. I never believed a single person could become someone’s favorite place, but somehow you did. When you’re near, even my fears seem smaller, and every ordinary moment becomes something worth remembering. If I could make one wish upon every star tonight, I would spend them all on you. I don’t need perfect days or endless promises—just your hand in mine while the stars keep shining above us. So, under this starlight, let me confess the truth I’ve been hiding: I love you, and if you’ll let me, I’d like to keep loving you for every night the stars continue to glow."
Bothe Ryujin and Jihwan were shocked.
