Remember me?

"Please tell me she's gonna be fine." Emi said frantically.
"She's a strong girl, she'll be okay."
"You sure?" Emi sighed and sat down beside her twin's hospital bed.
"Yes, Rachel lives on for you, and your brother.. And hopefully me." Junhyung said.
Emi bit back a tear.
"I told her it was dangerous! She never ever listens to me!" Emi whined.
"I'm sure she learnt her lesson."
"You're her boyfriend. She listens to you. More than she listens to me. Why don't you talk to her?" Emi turned to Junhyung.
Before Junhyung could answer, the twin's older brother walked in.
"How is she?" Alexander asked worriedly.
"She hasn't woke up yet, but the doctor told us not to worry." Junhyung answered. Alexander nodded.
"Why don't you and Junhyung go home and rest? You two have been here the whole day." Alexander suggested.
"But-" Emi started.
"I don't want the other twin to collapse. Go home and get some rest. And call Mom to tell her things are fine." Alexander said.
"Fine..."
"I'll call you both if there's any updates."
"I send you home." Junhyung offered and Emi nodded.
"Be careful please." Alexander said while Emi hugged him.

In the late afternoon, Rachel's doctor walked in.
"How's she? Doctor....." Alexander looked at the nametag. "Doctor Shin."
"She'll be okay. I'm here to introduce you the new doctor incharge of this ward."
"New... doctor?" Alexander answered, looking skeptical.
"He just joined us, but I assure you, he's a very talented young doctor." Doctor Shin nodded.
"This is Doctor Kibum." A young doctor who looked about Rachel & Emi's age walked in.
"Isn't he... abit too young?" Alexander freaked.
"Don't worry, he's very capable." Doctor Shin smiled.

"Ale-Alexander..." Rachel croaked.
"Yes yes, I'm here. How you feeling?" Alexander rushed to the bedside.
"I need water."
Alexander poured her a cup of water. Rachel took the cup weakly. He sighed and walk out of the room to call Emi.
"Emi. Rachel's awake." He said when she answered the phone.
"She is?! I'll call Junhyung & we'll head over now!" Emi yelled.

"Emi and your boyfriend is coming now." Alexander told Rachel as he walked back to the room.
"My boyfriend? Who's my boyfriend?" Rachel looked confused.
"Junhyung. Don't you remember?" Alexander said slowly and Rachel shook her head.
"This is bad. You remember me right? You remember Emi?" Alexander asked.
"Of cause I remember you, and of cause I remember Emi, how can I forget my brother and twin?" Rachel still looked confused.
At this time, Kibum walked pass the room on his hourly rounds. Alexander called out to him.
"Yes?" Kibum asked, walking into the room.
"is he my boyfriend?" Rachel asked.
"What?"
"No, he isnt.." Alexander shook his head.
"What's the matter?"
"She can't remember that she has a boyfriend, but she can remember me and her twin sister. Is there something we should know?" Alexander asked.
"Well, she had a head concussion. So it's very likely, she will lose part of her memory temporarily. She will regain them after a few weeks." Kibum explained.
"A few weeks... I don't know how her boyfriend will take the news." Alexander shook his head again.

"She's awake?!" Emi ran into the room, followed by Junhyung.
"Emi!" Rachel cheered as Emi ran to hug her younger twin sister.
"Yes, but Junhyung, she doesn't remember that you're her boyfriend." Alexander looked at Junhyung.
"What?! I don't understand, WHY?!" Junhyung freaked.
"The doctor said she knocked her head hard during the accident, thus her memory lost, but it's only temporary. A few weeks." Alexander explained to both Junhyung.
"A few weeks.. what am I gonna do now, my girlfriend doesn't recognise me." Junhyung slumped down on the chair next to Rachel's bed.
Alexander stood thinking while looking at his twin sisters laughing away.
"Come, we go ask the doctor what to do." Alexander beckon for Junhyung for follow him.
"Where are you guys going?" Emi asked in between fits of laughter.
"We're gonna get some drinks, you stay here and accompany Rachh ya?" Alexander said and Emi nodded.
"It'll be okay." Alexander patted Junhyung's back. "She'll regain her memory soon."
"I know, but when she was unconsious, I told myself, I will be there for her when she wakes up, but now she doesn't even remember me."
Alexander let out a sigh, and continued their walk to the doctor's office.

"Doctor Kibum?" Alexander knocked on the door.
"Oh, Mr Eusebio, come in." Kibum smiled. "Yes, how may I help you?"
"You said my sister's memory may take a few weeks to come back, is there any other way to speed things up?" Alexander asked while Junhyung sulked beside him.
"Well, you can try showing her pictures, you can talk to her about the past. But, you can't force too much information on her at once." Kibum answered.
Junhyung looked up. "Pictures, right. Thanks!" He thanked Kibum and ran off.
"That's her boyfriend?" Kibum jabbed a thumb towards the direction Junhyung ran off.
"Yup, they have been together for quite a long time. So for her not to remember him is rather devasting to him." Alexander explained.
"Oh. Hope she remembers him soon." Kibum smiled
"Thanks." Alexander thanked Kibum and left.

As he got back into the ward, Junhyung wasn't here.
"Where's Junhyung?" He asked Emi.
"I don't know. I thought he left with you?" Emi raised an eyebrow.
"Who's Junhyung?" Rachel asked.
"Your boyfriend, dear." Alexander said.
"My boyfriend? But I really don't remember him."
"You will, in time to come." Alexander reassured.
"What's going on here?" Emi asked, confused.
"She lost part of her memory."
"No wonder she didn't rush to hug Junhyung when we came in." Emi nodded understandingly.

"Where is it?!" Junhyung mumbled to himself as he rummaged through his bookshelf, trying to find the scrapbook of pictures made by Rachel for him during their 4th year anniversary.
"AH HA! FOUND IT!" He grabbed a blue leather bound book off the shelf and sat down on the bed.
He flipped through the pages, laughing at their silly moments. 'I hope this helps.' he thought to himself.
With that, he rushed out to his car, driving as fast as he could to the hospital.
As he rushed into the ward, he realised Rachel was sleeping.
"Shhhss, she's sleeping. Where did you do?" Emi asked.
"I went home to look for this! The doctor told us that showing her pictures and talking about the past will help her regain her memory." Junhyung answered between pants.
"Let me see." Emi reached out to take the book from Junhyung's hands.
"She made all this?" Emi exclaimed as she flipped through the pages, and Junhyung nodded.
"No wonder she doesn't have time to go out with me." Emi pouted.
Junhyung laughed. "She loves me more than you~" He teased.
"LIES! She loves me more!" Emi shouted.
"Hey! Why are you two shouting?" Alexander walked back into the ward carrying drinks.
"Eeks! Sorry!" Emi apologise and went to sit beside the bed.
"Where did you go?" Alexander asked Junhyung.
"Home, to get this." Junhyung waved the scrapbook infront of Alexander.
"Didn't she make this for you?"
"Yes, it's filled with our pictures, hopefully it will help!"
Alexander nodded. "Let's wait till she's awake."
"She will wake up once she's hungry. I know her." Emi laughed.

A few hours later, Rachel woke up to an empty room.
She sat up and saw Junhyung sleeping on the chair beside her, resting his head on her bed.
"Emi? Alexander?" Rachel called out. No one answered, but it woke Junhyung up.
"Oh, you're awake." Junhyung smiled.
"Yes." Rachel answered awkwardly.
"Uhm, well, you may not remember, but I'm your boyfriend, we have been dating for 4 days." Junhyung said.
"We have?"
"Yes, and you made me this during our anniversary." He reached out to take the book lying on the bedside table.
Rachel took the book gingerly. As she flip through the pages, her eyes began to widen.
"I remember some of this, but not all of it. I'm sorry." Rachel pushed the book back to Junhyung.
"You keep it, look at it when you feel like. I hope you remember everything soon." Junhyung forced a smile.
"I'm sorry that I cannot remember you. If you really are my boyfriend, this must be really hurting. I'm sorry." Rachel looked down.
"It's okay."

The next few weeks, Junhyung came everyday after work. Talking to Rachel. About her past, about everything they went through.
But she never remembered any of them. It was getting really frustrating for Junhyung.
"WHEN WILL SHE REGAIN HER MEMORY?" Junhyung complained to Alexander over dinner one night.
"Soon, I hope. You've been talking to her, I've been talking to her, Emi has been talking to her as well. She will regain her memory soon." Alexander answered as he swallowed his noodles.
Junhyung let out a sigh. "It's really frustrating. To have your girlfriend infront of you, yet she doesn't acknowledge you as her boyfriend."
"I know, Junhyung. I know."
They walked back to the ward in awkward silence. As soon as the door of the ward was flung open, Junhyung was knocked out of his breath.
He could hear Emi laughing. As he regain his senses, he realised it was Rachel who attacked him with a hug.
"You remember me?" Junhyung smiled.
"Yes! I'm sorry if the past few weeks has been really agonising for you. I'm really really sorry." Rachel mumbled as she buried her face in his neck.
"It's okay baby. At least you remember me now."

Fuckin' Perfect

"Why are your parents coming this weekend?! The wedding is next weekend!" Junhyung whined as he sat down in front of the door.
"Well, they have never been to Korea so they wanna come a week early to tour around." Minyoung explained while changing the bed sheets in the guest room.
"And why are they staying in your house when it's your sister getting married?" He complained again.
Minyoung glared at him in irritation. "Because Eunha doesn't have a guest room in her studio apartment! Quit complaining before I ignore you."
He pouted than did the zip sign on his lips, and gave Minyoung a weak smile.
Minyoung kneeled down beside him. "Make yourself useful and go order pizza for lunch, please?"
Minyoung placed both her hands on his cheeks before giving him a kiss.
"PIZZA?! OKAY! Yay! Be right back!" He yelled after the kiss.
Minyoung stood up and shook her head at how childish her boyfriend was, even though he's 2 years older than her. Her phone vibrated in her jeans pocket, giving her a shock.

"Hello?"
"Free today? I'm gonna go collect my wedding dress today, and I wanna choose your bridesmaid dress, no more dragging!" Eunha nagged.
"Fine fine, I'm free after I finish cleaning up the guest room for mom and dad. Than all I need is lunch and shower. So about 2 hours?" Minyoung blew her fringe out of her eyes.
"Hmm okay, we'll come pick you and Junnie up around 3?"
"Neh, see you later."

"Doojoon called." Junhyung said as he came back inside the room.
"Yup, Eunha called me as well, Guess I can't drag the choosing of dress any longer." Minyoung sighed.
"Why are you so against dresses anyways?" Junhyung asked.
"You know me, I'm more comfortable in shorts or jeans anyways."
"But you have to wear a dress on our wedding!" Junhyung demanded.
"And what if I don't?" Minyoung hugged Junhyung and teased.
"I will... uh... force you into a dress." He stuttered.
"That is not convincing at all baby." Minyoung laughed as she pecked him on the cheeks and walked back into the room.
"Hey, that was very convincing!" Junhyung protested as he followed her back into her room.
He flopped down on her bed, watching at her rummaging through her closet.
"What are you doing?"
"Taking my clothes? Can't you see?" Minyoung answered.
"For what though?"
"Bathe." She answered and walked to the bathroom, Junhyung followed her in.
She turned and pushed him out. "Alone."
"Why?!" He protested.
"Someone needs to pay for the pizza." She smirked and closed the door in his face.

---

"That dress is nice!" Eunha pointed to the white strapless dress.
"That is too revealing, I won't feel comfortable." Minyoung complained.
"Hey, look, Junnie isn't even complaining that it's too revealing, why are you?" The older girl reasoned.
"Why would he complain?! He's a pervert and he's not the one wearing this dress!" Minyoung turned to Junhyung who was smirking.
"Just choose one, so we can go for dinner, me and Doojoon are starving!" Junhyung nudged Minyoung.
"Tsk! Fine!" She pouted and grabbed the strapless dress off the rack and stomped off to the fitting room.
“Your turn.” Eunha turned to Junhyung.
He put his hands up as though warding Eunha off. “I already chose mine, so I’ll go try it now!” He stuck out his tongue and ran off.

“It looks good on you, Junnie!” Eunha and Doojoon gave a thumbs up to Junhyung, who was checking himself out in front of the mirror.
“I look good~” Junhyung praised himself and went to stand outside Minyoung’s fitting room.
“She will look fab.” Doojoon commented and Eunha nodded.
“I know she will.” Junhyung smiled and nodded as well.
“Than why are you so nervous?” Doojoon asked.
“It feels like my own wedding..” He answered with a weak smile.
“Propose to her soon. While my parents are here!” Eunha suggested.
“She’s a stubborn girl...”
“She’s my sister, and I know she loves you enough to agree after a little persuasion.” Eunha said.
“But-“ Junhyung was cut off with the sound of the curtain of the fitting room. He turned.
“Oh my holy...” Junhyung’s jaw dropped.
“Close your mouth, lover boy.” Doojoon laughed.
“See! You look gorgeous!” Eunha rushed forward to her little sister, who was trying to cover as much of her milky skin as possible with her hands.
“Yah! Yong Junhyung! What are you staring at?!” Minyoung pouted as her sister pulled both of her hands off her own body.
“I strongly believe he is having dirty thoughts about you right now.” Doojoon commented.
“No! I’m not!” Junhyung defended himself.
“One dirty thought about my sister, I will strangle you.” Eunha threatened.
“No no! I was just thinking how gorgeous she will be during our wedding.” Junhyung smiled.
“Our wedding?” Minyoung raised her eyebrows.
“Yes.” He smiled.
“My sister is so gorgeous!” Eunha hugged Minyoung before she could say anything.
“No I’m not, that scar on my back...” Minyoung reached for her back.
“Your hair is long enough to cover it. Don’t bother about it. You’re perfect.” Junhyung held on to both of her hands and kissed her foreheads while Doojoon and Eunha nodded in approval.
“Can we request for a photo to be taken? You two look perfect together.” The owner of the shop asked.
“W-what?!” Minyoung widen her eyes.
“Sure.” Junhyung smiled.
“Come this way please. I’m Yang Hye Rin, you can call me Rin.” The owner introduced herself as she showed them the way to get their makeup done.
“Why did you agree?” Minyoung whispered harshly.
“Relax, just take this as practice for the real thing alrights?” Junhyung laughed.
“What real thing?!”
“We will only need a few photos, it will be perfect to have one hanging at the entrance of the shop!” Hye Rin chirped.
“Okays.” Minyoung smiled back.

“Could you kiss her on the forehead like how you did outside the fitting room?” Hye Rin instructed Junhyung.
“1, 2, 3” The photographer snapped the picture.
“Perfect! Now, hmmm, how about both of your foreheads pressed together and you two look into each other’s eyes?” Hye rin suggested and both of them did as they were told.
As the photographer snapped away, Hye Rin turned to Eunha. “They have so much love for each other. Their eyes, they way they look at each other, so much love.”
“Yeah, he’s the only one that made her open up. And he loves her for all her flaws.” Eunha smiled.
“She’s very lucky, you too!” Hye Rin laughed.
“I guess we are.. thanks.”

“That photoshoot went smoother than ours!” Doojoon cheered.
“How is that even possible?” Minyoung rolled her eyes.
“Why is that not possible?” Eunha scrutinized Minyoung closely.
“I look horrible in pictures!” Minyoung shook her head.
“Nonsense! You were so perfect, even Hye Rin said so. She said you two had so much love for each other. I’m jealous.” Eunha reassured before shooting a glance at Doojoon’s shocked expression. “I’m just kidding baby.” Eunha smiled at Doojoon.
“Of cause you were.” Doojoon pouted while Junhyung roared with laughter.
“Whatever~ let’s go through the plan again. You and Junnie pick mom and dad up tomorrow, let them freshen up, and then we meet for dinner? Is that right?” Eunha asked Minyoung.
“Yeah. Dinner where?” Minyoung asked.
“I don’t know. We’ll decide that tomorrow. You need to borrow the car?”
“Nope, I’ll be driving tomorrow.” Junhyung said.
Eunha nodded. “If that’s all, we’re gonna head back, I still have loads to prepare.”
“Byeeeeee~” Minyoung waved cheerfully.
“You imp, being so happy when I’m leaving.” Eunha smack her sister’s head.
“Ouhh! “ Minyoung pouted as Junhyung hugged her.
Minyoung turned to her boyfriend as her older sister left.
“You staying over tonight?” She asked.
“I can’t sleep in the guest room anymore, can I?” Junhyung answered as his stirred his coffee.
“You can sleep with me tonight.” She said.
“Are you sure?!” He jerked up and stared at her.
“Yes. I’m sure. I hope my parents approve of you though.” She hasten to change the subject.
“They will love me, just like how their youngest daughter did.” Junhyung hugged her and laughed.
“Yeah! They will love you!” Minyoung laughed.
“Let’s go. I need to go home and get my stuff.” He stood up and reaches out his hand for her to take.
She smiled to herself as she took his hand.

“What actually happened to Minyoung?” Doojoon asked Eunha as they drove home.
“Well, before we came to Korea, and when she will still in high school, she had a boyfriend. Apparently she loved him a lot, so she was very blinded and oblivious to the fact that he was using her. For what? I don’t know either. But me and her best friend tried to talk to her about it, but she won’t listen to us.” Eunha explained.
“So that’s why you’re so protective of her?” Doojoon asked.
Eunha nodded. “Yes, so it hurt me a lot when I found bruises on her.”
“BRUISES?! HOLY CRAP! HE ABUSED HER?!” Doojoon shouted.
“Yeah, I think he’s some sick psycho. Her hands and neck were full of bruises. She refused to tell me who did it, till I found a bite mark on her shoulder that was bleeding. That day, I forced her to tell me who did it.” Eunha sighed.
“That scar on her back that she cares so much about ... is that bite mark?” Doojoon gulped
“Yup. I hate seeing my younger sister hurt, so I told Alexander, you know my older brother? He reported that to the police. He threatened her before he got arrested and such, and she never got over him, so my parent decided to send us here to study. Than we met the both of you.”
“I’m glad we met the both of you.” Doojoon smiled as he squeezed her hand.
“I’m glad Junhyung met her. I’m glad I met you too!” Eunha smiled.

Junhyung walked into this girlfriend’s room after his bath that night to see her sleeping on his side of the bed.
He smiled to himself before he walked over to the bed and carried her to her side gently.
“No!” Minyoung sat up suddenly, shocking Junhyung.
“What’s wrong, baby?” Junhyung stroked her fringe aside.
She just shook her head as tears started streaming down her cheeks.
Junhyung wiped the tears from her face. “What’s wrong?”
“I dreamt of him again.” She buried her face in his neck.
“Baby, it’s over, he isn’t here to hurt you anymore.” He smoothed her bed-hair.
“I know, but that dream was so realistic.”
“Nothing can hurt you as long as you’re mine.” Junhyung reassured.
“Don’t ever leave me.” She cried even harder.
“Hey! Whoever said I was intending to?” Junhyung lifted her chin.
“I’m never gonna leave you. Never. Even if you push me away, I’ll still come back to you. Okay? I love you.” Junhyung said softly and kissed her.

The next morning when Junhyung woke up, Minyoung wasn’t in bed anymore. Panic struck him but he relaxed as he smelled bacon.
“Morning baby.” He smiled as he walked into the kitchen and hugged her from the back.
“Morning.” She turned to give him a peck on his cheek. “Go wash up, breakfast will be ready soon!”
“You’re actually cooking. I’m surprised.” Junhyung raised one eyebrow.
“Hey! It’s only for you, and my parents when they are here okay!” Minyoung pouted.
Junhyung nodded. “For that, I’m very touched.”
“Now, go wash up!” Minyoung pushed Junhyung out.
As Junhyung walked out, she sighed. She told herself she will not let the dream affect her. It was all over. As she thought about it, she subconsciously reached to touch her scar.

[FLASHBACK]

“What are you doing?” Rachel asked her boyfriend, Dec, as he nibbled on her neck.
“Nothing.” Came the reply.
“Come on, don’t play, you little vampire.”
“Vampire?” Dec asked before biting her on her shoulders.
Rachel screamed in pain and hit Dec hard on the chest, but he did not budge.
“It hurts!” Rachel cried.
“You called me a vampire, I’m just proving it to you.” Dec smiled.
“You didn’t have to bite that hard! It hurts.”
“I had to get my point across.” Dec turned away.
“Forget it, I’m going home.” Rachel said as she picked up her bag from his bed.
She slung it across her shoulders and winced in pain.

“I’m home!” Rachel yelled as she walked through the front door.
“Were you at Dec’s hou- OH MY GOD! WHY ARE YOU BLEEDING?!” Emi yelled.
“It’s nothing, I scratched myself against the hooks in the school’s locker room.” Rachel brushed her older sister’s hand aside.
“It doesn’t look like a scratch! Did he bite you?”
“You’re crazy.” Rachel pulled a face.
“You’re coming with me!” Emi dragged Rachel to their brother’s room.
“And you’re not leaving this room till you tell me who did it!” Emi locked the door.
“What? I told you, a scratch!”
“A scratch? I’m pretty sure hooks do not have teeth.”
“Well then, I got bloodthirsty.” Rachel rolled her eyes.
“Rachel Gilbert, do not lie to me.” Emi threatened.
“Really, I bit myself.”
“Oh really? Your mouth must be extendable than. Show me.”
“You’re crazy.”
“Stop calling me crazy when you’re the crazy one right now! You’re dating a cannibal!” Emi yelled.
“He isn’t a cannibal!” Rachel yelled back.
“Oh really? That what’s the reason for him biting you?” Emi folded her arms.
“Who ever told you he was the one that bite me?”
“It is pretty obvious isn’t it?”
“I don’t have time to deal with this shit. I have to do my homework” Rachel tried to shove Emi aside.
“Fine, where were you this whole afternoon?”
“At Adeline’s house. Doing my work.” Rachel answered.
“Oh really? But Adeline is in your room right now, waiting for you.” Emi raised her eyebrows.
“FINE, I WAS AT DEC’S HOUSE. YOU HAPPY NOW?!” Rachel shouted.
“No, I’m not. He bit you till you bleed. That isn’t normal! I’m telling Alexander!” Emi shook her head as she opened the door.

“Your bacon is burning, honey.” Junhyung’s voice jerked Minyoung out of her flashback.
“OHSHI-“ Minyoung began to curse.
“No cursing please.” Junhyung said simply and sat down. “What were you thinking of?”
“Nah, I was thinking of my parents. I haven’t seen them for years.” Minyoung smiled.
“Ohyeah, what time is their flight again.” Junhyung asked.
“They are arriving at 2pm. Why?”
“Nothing, I need to go run an errand, then I’ll come back and pick you to go to the airport alrights?”
“Want me to come along with you?” Minyoung asked as she put the bacon on his plate.
“It’s okay. I’ll give you some alone time!” Junhyung laughed.
“Yong Junhyung, what are you up to?” Minyoung demanded.
“I told you, I have errands to run. Oh! Look at the time! I’ll go now!” Junhyung finished his bacon, gave Minyoung a kiss and ran out of the house.
“Aish! This man!”

“Where ar- Oh! Mummy!” Minyoung ran towards an attractive blond with a stern looking man beside.
“Hey baby.” Minyoung’s mother kissed her hair.
“Mummy, daddy, this is my boyfriend, Junhyung.” She introduced in English. Junhyung looked confused.
“I just introduced you to my parents. In English.” Minyoung explained.
“Rachel dear, me and your mom can speak Korean.” Minyoung’s dad smiled.
“EH?!” Her eyes widened.
“We took lessons.” Her mom said.
“Where’s Emi? She’s supposed to be here hugging us as well!” Her dad joked.
“Oh, she’s busy, we are meeting her later for dinner.” Minyoung clapped.
“Neh, we’ll go back to Minyoung’s house to freshen up first.” Junhyung said respectfully.
“Yes! Let’s go!” Minyoung grabbed her mother’s hand and walked ahead.
“So you’re the guy I keep hearing about?” Minyoung’s father asked.
“I guess so...” Junhyung smiled as he took their luggage.
“Thanks for making my baby smile again.” He patted Junhyung on the back.
“Yeah... about that... I was planning to propose to her this week. Or after Eunha’s wedding.” Junhyung said nervously.
“Good! Very good! Go ahead! I approve!” Minyoung’s father laughed.

The whole of next week passed in a blur. Minyoung and Junhyung were out the whole week bringing Minyoung’s parents around. Eunha and Doojoon were busy preparing for their wedding.

On Thursday night, after Minyoung’s parents went to bed, Junhyung flopped down on his girlfriend’s bed.
“Damn. I’m dead tired.” He complained.
“I know right?!” She lay down beside him.
He turned to hug her. “2 more days to the wedding. It’s gonna get even more tiring.”
“Don’t even remind me. I have to be at Eunha’s house tomorrow night and you have to be at Doo’s place.” Minyoung groaned.
“Yupp. Let’s go take a stroll at the park now, alrights?” Junhyung asked.
“Now?! It’s 11.30pm!”
“I know.” Junhyung smiled and pulled her up.

“You know how cold it is?” Minyoung grumbled.
“Mianhae.” Junhyung apologised and took off his colourful hoodie and put it on her shoulder.
“There better be a good reason why you drag me out so late.” She pouted.
“Oh there is, trust me.” Junhyung smiled and kissed her hair.
“This place is so dark and creepy at night.”
“Nothing to worry when your boyfriend is here!”
Minyoung rolled her eyes and laughed.
“Let’s sit here.” Junhyung led her to a bench.
As soon as she sat down, someone blindfolded her.
“Hey! What are you up to! Yah! Yong Junhyung!” Minyoung screamed.
“Chill siz.” She heard Eunha whispered.
“Emi? EMI GILBERT!” Minyoung screamed her English name.
“Aish this girl, stop screaming!” Another voice. Doojoon’s.
“What are you doing?” She fumbled with the blindfold.
“It’s a surprise. You can take it off after Junnie says so.” Eunha slapped her hands away.
“I’m sorry baby, for scaring you like that, but bear with me kays?” She heard Junhyung say.
“Okay, you can remove your blindfold now.” Junhyung said and Minyoung slowly took it off.
She gasped. Junhyung kneeling in front of her, with a bouquet of purple roses in one hand and sparklers on the other.
“W-what?” She gasped again as Junhyung gave her the bouquet. As he shifted his position, she realised that behind him was a heart made out of many candles.
“Did you do that?” Minyoung asked.
“Yes, only for you. Now check the pocket of my hoodie.”
She reached into the pocket and pulled out a ring. A diamond ring to be exact.
“A DIAMOND RING?!”
“Will you marry me?” Junhyung tilted her chin up and he looked into her eyes.
“Junnie....
“I know what you’re gonna say, and I’m telling you, I love you for your flaws, I love you at your worst, I love you for who you are. You may think you’re not good enough, for to me, you’re fucking prefect. Each and every scar on you shows me that you’re a strong woman. Each and every tear you shed shows me your sensitive side. Each and every hug you give me tells me you love me. And I’m not gonna let all that go.” Junhyung hugged her.
“I...”
“Even if you say no today, I’ll wait. And I will keep trying. Just know that I’ll never let you go.”
“I’ll give you an answer after Eunha’s wedding. Okay?”
“Of cause it’s okay.” Junhyung smiled.
“I love you.” Minyoung mumbled against his chest.
Junhyung grinned, knowing he has won half the battle.
“Let’s go back.” Junhyung pulled away and started putting out all the candles.
“Your hoodie.” Minyoung said as she started to take it off.
“No, you wear it alrights? I’m giving it to you.” Junhyung smiled.
“But this is your favourite!”
“This is why I’m giving it to you. What’s better than to give my favourite hoodie to my favourite girl?”
“Really? I’m gonna sleep in it!” Minyoung laughed.
“Go ahead.” Junhyung laughed and led them away from the park.

“So.. how was yesterday?” Eunha asked as soon as Minyoung reached her house.
“I told him I’ll give an answer after your wedding.”
“Why?!” Someone else asked.
Minyoung peered over her sister’s shoulder.
“Adeline!” She ran over to tackle the girl in a hug.
“Girl. Chill.”
“I so fucking miss you! Oh my god! You idiot! Do you know there’s this invention called a phone? Couldn’t you have called me?!” Minyoung yelled.
“Girl! I’ll be deaf soon! Sorry I’ve been busy lately okay?” Adeline hugged Minyoung.
“Damn you. And you couldn’t have told me you’re coming!” Minyoung looked at Adeline than at Eunha who shrugged.
“I didn’t know as well, she told me she might not be able to make it for the wedding. Imagine my shock when she called me this morning telling me to pick her up at the airport.” Eunha laughed.
“OHYEAH?? You didn’t tell me when I called you this afternoon!” Minyoung jumped at Eunha.
“It’s a surprise.”
“So... how is this Junhyung treating you?” Adeline asked.
“The same.”
“And by the same... you mean... good or bad?”
“Good. Too good actually. I’m not good enough for him.” Minyoung shrugged.
“What are you talking about?” Eunha whacked her head.
“I’m not good enough.”
“I wanna slap some sense into you.” Adeline groaned in frustration.
“I... ugh. He really loves you, do you know that?” Eunha said.
“I know.”
“He even talked to Mom and Dad.”
“WHAT?!” Minyoung jumped off the sofa.
“He told daddy he wanted to marry you. And daddy approved!” Eunha explained.
“And may I ask how did you know that?”
“Daddy told me? Duh.” Eunha smiled.
“Aish!”
“Go to bed early, it’s a long day tomorrow.” Eunha chased them to her room.

“Go get changed!” The girls’ mother nagged.
“Argh.” Minyoung dragged herself up from the floor.
“Mummy, why are you here?” Eunha bury herself under her blanket.
“Yo! The bride cannot be lazy!” Adeline pulled her blanket off.
“Exactly! Daddy, Doojoon and Junhyung is already at the church!” Minyoung popped her at the door with the toothbrush in her mouth.
“How do you know?” Eunha rubbed her eyes.
“Junhyung. Duh.”
After an hour of changing and makeup, Adeline and the sisters’ mother looked at the two girls.
“My babies are so gorgeous!” Their mother pinched Minyoung’s cheek.
“Mummy! Don’t pinch my cheeks!” Minyoung struggled and protested.

“They are on their way.” Junhyung informed the groom.
“How do you know?” Doojoon looked up.
“Minyoung. Duh.”
“Right...”
“You nervous?” Junhyung sat down beside Doojoon.
“Abit.” Doojoon admitted.
“Don’t be!” Junhyung smiled and patted Doojoon on the back.
“I’ll be saying this back to you when you get married.” Doojoon turned.
“Whatever.”
“Dude, congrats!” Doojoon’s best friends entered the room.
“Yo, Yoseob, Kikwang, Dongwoon, Hyunseung! Glad you guys could make it.” Doojoon stood up to hug them all.
The 5 of them turned to look at Junhyung, who was squatting down, talking on the phone and smiling.
“Minyoung.” The 5 said in unison.
Junhyung looked up and smiled sheepishly.
“See you soon. Love you.” He said and hang up.
“What?”
“Oh. Nothing...” Yoseob raised his eyebrows.
“Dude, propose to her yet?” If not, I’m gonna make my move!” Hyunseung joked.
“Hey! And yeah, I did. She told me she’ll give me an answer after this wedding.”
“Does that mean no chance?” Hyunseung pouted as Yoseob gave him a punch on the shoulder on his way out.
“Jang Hyun Seung!” Go find your own!” Junhyung yelled as the others laughed.
“They’re here! Doojoon, you’re not allowed to see the bride so stay here!” Yoseob came running.
“But-“
“No buts, shut up and stay here.” Dongwoon laughed and they ran off.

“Hey, you look gorgeous.” Junhyung hugged Minyoung.
“Thanks. This is Adeline, my best friend.” Minyoung introduced. Adeline waved to them.
“And this is Junhyung, Hyunseung, Yoseob, Kikwang and Dongwoon. You’ll be paired up with Hyunseung. Which means you’re standing behind me, and Hyunseung will be standing behind Junhyung. Minyoung said.
“Okays!” Minyoung and Hyunseung smiled.

----

Junhyung nudged Minyoung. “What?” She turned.
“It’s after the wedding.” He smiled.
“Oh..”
“Can all the single ladies gather here please, I’m gonna make Eunha throw the bouquet!” Adeline shouted.
“I’ll talk to you later.” Minyoung turned to walk away.
“You’re not single!” Junhyung yelled.
“I’m not married.” Minyoung smiled cheekily as she skipped to Adeline’s side.
“Aish that girl.” Junhyung gritted his teeth.
“What’s wrong with you?” Yoseob appeared.
“Nothing.” Junhyung answered.
“.... Oh!” Yoseob followed Junhyung’s gaze.
“Shut up.”

Eunha giggled as she turned her back on her friends.
“Ready girls?” She yelled.
“Get on with it.” Minyoung answered.
“Okay, here goes.” Eunha closed her eyes, and threw the bouquet of flowers back.
As planned by Adeline and Eunha earlier, the rest of the girls moved away, leaving Minyoung the only person standing there.
“Hey!” Minyoung looked confused for a moment, before the bouquet landed in her arms.

“Now will you marry me?” Junhyung walked up.
Minyoung glanced around and saw everyone looking at her. Her dad was nodding encouragingly.
She smiled. “Yes, I will.”
Junhyung whooped before lifting her off her feet in a hug.

"Ya coming back for dinner?" Maggie called Steffi.
"Yup, as a matter of fact, I'm already on my way back." Steffi answered.
"Alrights, cause on this rare occasion, Ayu and Audrey is actually home." Maggie laughed.

---

"Thanks for sending me home." Steffi said as she turned to Changmin.
"No problem. See you tomorrow?" Changmin pecked her on the forehead.
"Sure. Bye."

"Spill." Steffi turned to see Rachel leaning on the door with narrowed eyes and a small smile.
"Oh. You saw that." She pointed to the fading back of Changmin.
"Yes I saw that. Spill."
"We're dating now?" Steffi gave a weak smile.
"I KNEW IT! And you're not gonna use me to tell him we are vampires alrights." Rachel joked.
Steffi frowned. "I forgot about that."
"Aigoo." Rachel shook her head. "Worry about that later. They are waiting for you to start dinner." She dragged Steffi in.
"Have you told Ayu about you being pregnant?" Steffi asked as they walked back to the dining area.
"Nopes. I'm planning to tell her later. I don't even know what she will do. Protective sister." Rachel pouted.
"I'm sure she will be okay with it, she loves kids!" Steffi said.
"I hope so man." Rachel laughed and linked arms with Steffi.

"Audrey! Ayu! I miss you girls! Haha, how long haven't I seen you girls?!" Steffi exclaimed as soon as she stepped into the dining area.
"You're overreacting, it hasn't been that long. About a week or so?" Ayu laughed.
"That is very long, I'm so used to seeing you everyday!" Steffi pouted.
"Oh I'm sorry if I actually care about the upcoming test." Ayu said sarcasticly. Steffi stuck out her tongue.
"And you? Your reason?" Rachel turned to Audrey.
"I'm helping Hyungjun on his studies." Audrey answered, mouth stuffed with food.
Rachel frowned. "Studies... or biology?" Rachel grinned, and everyone laughed.
"HEY! DIRTY!" Audrey swallowed her food and pouted.
"I just said biology, but seeing you two don't take biology as a subject in school......." Rachel trailed off.
"Kay, let's just eat..." Rachel smiled and sat down beside Kibum.

"Rachel, did you gain weight?" Ayu asked randomly.
"What?!" Rachel gasped.
"You look.... bigger. For some reason I can't put my finger on." Ayu stared at Rachel intensely, making her very uncomfortable.
"I told you I look fat!" Rachel hit Kibum.
"She didn't gain weight, she just got pregnant, that's all." Kibum said.
Both Audrey and Ayu dropped their jaws.
"When?!" Both exclaimed at the same time.
"I found out only 2 days ago." Rachel said, not wanting to meet anybody's eyes.
"Does that mean we'll have vampire kids running around here?" Audrey asked.
"I guess so?" Emi answered.
"I guess I'm fine with that, and any other news I should catch up on?" Ayu looked around.
"Wanie changed Alexander." Steffi pointed to Wanie.
"Steffi's dating Changmin!" Rachel said excitedly.
"Maggie is gonna change Siwon!" Emi laughed.
"You sound like a bunch of kids complaining to their mother." Kibum laughed, amused.
"She does act like our mother... most of the time." Emi grinned, earning a hit on her shoulder from Ayu.
"Respect!" Ayu said with a stern look.
"What is that?!" Emi joked and ran off to hide behind Steffi.
"You girls... are really like my kids." Ayu shook her head, and everyone laughed.

---

That night Ayu was on the phone with Kevin.
"So.. Are we like dating now?" Kevin asked.
"I.. don't know. You never said anything." Ayu said softly, afraid of waking Audrey up.
"Oh.." Kevin mumbled and Ayu heard someone shouting in the background.
"I gotta go, text you later." Kevin said hurriedly and hung up.
Ayu sighed and flopped down on her bed and closed her eyes.

Her phone vibrated in her hands and sat up.
She read the text message and smiled to herself.

'I never said anything before, so I'll say it now. I liked you the moment you came into school. Out of all of your sisters, I liked you best. Why? You are quiet and calm, unlike them. I prefer girls like you, being calm. And actually study. HAHA. So I really hope you can give me a chance.'

She smiled to herself for the next 10 minutes before attempting to reply.
That night, she went to bed with a smile on her face.

"Are you okayyy?" Audrey woke her up the next morning for school.
".. huh? Why would I not be okay?" Ayu said groggily.
"You are smiling to yourself. That is just weird." Audrey walked to their dressing table.
"Wanna know the reason why I'm smiling?" Ayu sat up in bed, suddenly very awake.
"Why?"
"Me and Kevin are together now!" Ayu squealed.
"REALLY?! CONGRATS! Though you are last among us to get a boyfriend." Audrey teased.
"Hey! It's called slow paced." Ayu smiled.
"Right.. slow paced." Audrey grinned and left the room.

Ayu got up and slowly walked to the bathroom to prepare, not before getting attacked by Emi.
"Dating Kevin now, aren't you?" Emi smiled.
"News sure does spread fast in this house." Ayu raised her eyebrows.
"Of cause! Which is why there is no secrets in this house!"
"And you girls ask me why I avoid you girls all the time?" Ayu laughed.
"I'm pretty sure that isn't the real reason." Emi held on to Ayu as she walked.
"Sure. Now let me go, so I can prepare for school." Ayu turned to Emi.
"Have fun at school!"
"Can you at least pretend to like school?" Ayu asked.
Emi turned. "No, it's kinda hard." Emi answered.

---

[Weeks later]

The boys were sitteed in the sisters' living room.
"WAIT... hold on a sec.. YOU ALL CHANGED PAINLESSLY?!" Rachel demanded to know.
The 6 boys nodded.
"WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME THIS METHOD?!" Rachel threw a hissy fit.
They all turned to look at Kibum.
"What? Don't look at me." Kibum protested.
"I watched my boyfriend go through hours of hell! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD!" Rachel mumbled as she stormed to her room.
"Okay. Her hissy fit is scary." Siwon commented.
"Yeah." Kibum agreed and ran after her.

Kibum opened the door to their room to see Rachel playing with the twins.
"You okay?" He walked over to give her a hug.
"I'm fine. Really." Rachel smiled.
"I got changed first, so no one really knew of this method. so..."
"I know. Let's bring this two downstairs." Rachel picked up Chaerin and Jiyong.
Kibum smiled.

Jiyong ran down the stairs into the arms of Wanie.
"Aigo, look at our little Jiyong, grown so much in one day!" Wanie cooed as Steffi and Emi went over to play with Jiyong.
"Chaerin ah~ so pretty." Rachel let Ayu carried her.
Kibum sat down beside Kevin.
"Have you proposed?" Kevin turned to ask Kibum.
"Eh? No. You?"
"No. Soon!" Kevin laughed.
"We propose to them at the same time?" Kibum whispered.
"Oh my, you have the best ideas sometimes. I'll go tell the rest!" Kevin laughed and went over to Eli and Siwon.

"Why are you guys smiling like that?" Steffi raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah. Stop creeping us out." Emi frowned.
"They are up to something." Audrey commented.

The 7 boys got to their knees.
"EH!?"
"Will you marry me?" The 7 of them said in unison.
"AH WAE?!" Emi said, in shock.
"Just shut up and answer us." Kibum said.
"RUDE." Rachel pouted.
"Mummy, say yes." Jiyong pulled on Rachel's skirt.
The 7 girls look at Jiyong and laughed.
"Yes."

Mine - Part 2

2011-01-16T02:48:00.002+08:00

"miss me?" Marcus asked.
"I'm dreaming. I'm dreaming." Rachel closed her eyes and stepped backwards.
"No, you're not." She opened her eyes, and Junhyung stood infront of her.
"What do you want from me?!" Rachel screamed as Junhyung grabbed her wrist.
"Remember my promise?" Marcus smirked.
"No, get away from me. Give me back my boyfriend!"Rachel tried to wrench free.
"I promised I will be with you for eternity, I promised you I will be with you no matter what. I'm keeping those promises." Marcus said, still not letting go.
"Don't be crazy! Let me go!" Rachel struggled.
"I can't let you go, not even in death..."
"You're dead, I'm still alive. We can't be together. If you really love me, you would want me to be happy. I'm happy with Junhyung now." Rachel said, sobbing now.
"I can't let you do that, you belong to me and me alone." Marcus dragged her out of the kitchen.
"Where are you bringing me?! Let me go!!" She screamed, hoping her neighbours would hear and come over to help.

He kept quiet and dragged her to her room. Tightening his grip on her wrist with his left hand, he dragged her chair and rummaged through the box that was left on the floor.
He found what he was looking for, a rope.
"Sit." Rachel refused.
"SIT!" He shouted and pushed Rachel onto the chair.
"Why are you doing this? None of this is real right? You're Junhyung right? This is just a prank right?" Rachel look at Marcus with hopeful eyes.
"You'll never be with Junhyung again." He simply answered.
He took the rope and tied her tightly to the chair.
"Let me go, please. I beg you." She begged him, but he pretended he didn't hear.
After he was done tying, he sat down on her bed.

"I miss your bed. I miss your room. I miss you." He glanced around the room, and stopped his gaze at a photo frame on her bedside table. A picture of Junhyung kissing her on her birthday.
He clenched his fist and threw the photo frame across the room.
"When you left me, I was so broken. We promised each other eternity, didnt we?" Marcus said slowly.
"Things changed. You became so possessive that it's scary. I can't live with that!" Rachel explained.
"You don't know how hurt I was. I begged you to stay, I promised I would change, but you still left."
"YOU WERE A STALKER!"
"Only because I love you too much."
"Loving someone isn't the reason to stalk them. You had mental problem, you needed to be treated. But you decided to end your own life!"
Marcus stood in front her.

"You know why I wanted to end my life?" He asked softly. She could feel his breath on cheeks.
"Life wasn't worthwhile without you."
"Than why bother coming back to haunt me, and possess Junhyung?!" Rachel demanded to know.
"I didnt want to hurt anybody, really. I just wanted to watch you from afar. Which is why I have bit of my soul in that picture frame."
"You're sick, really." Rachel spat out, in disgust.
"I was fine with you dating him, but when I found out he was gonna propose to you tonight, that was it, I had to stop this."
Rachel looked up at him in disbelief. This man standing in front of her, was her loving boyfriend, Yong Junhyung. But the soul within, was her ex boyfriend, Marcus Salvatore.

"This is some serious mind fuck." She cursed.
"It will end soon." Marcus promised.
"Yeah, get out of my boyfriend's body, leave and all is well."
"It won't be that simple, honey." He tried to kiss, but she turned her head away.
He stood up straight and went over to her desk. He picked up something.
"What are you doing with my penknife?"
"Blood." He smiled and walked over to her.
He untied her right hand, and lifted it up. Lowering the blade on her skin, she screamed in pain as he carved his name into her skin, blood oozing out from the wounds.
"Marcus, what are you doing? Marcus... It hurts, stop..." She cried.
"No, this is something for you to remember me by." He said as he untied the rope, lifting her left hand.
On that hand, he carved the words "Eternity. 160606." Eternity is the promise they hold, and the number symbolizing the date they got together. 16 June of 2006.

"You know I lose blood quickly, why are you doing this?" She asked, hysterical.
"We can't be together if you're not dead." He said.
"I don't want to die!" She yelled.
"Too late." He smirked as he leaned back on her bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

2 hours later, he woke up to see a very pale Rachel.
"How do you feel?" Marcus smirked.
Rachel managed to lift her arms up to show him the middle finger.
"Feisty. You're dying, and you know it." He smiled.
"S-hu-t... up!"
"To tell you the truth, I didn't do all this because I still love you. I did this because I wanted revenge. You hurt me so badly, I couldn't think straight and I committed suicide." He squat down beside her.
"Fu-ck... you."
"Whatever, bitch." He stood up and walked out of the room to roam around the house, one last time.

"I did like this place." He said out loud and sighed before heading back to Rachel's room.
She was laying motionlessly on the floor, her last desperate attempt to escape before she fell dead.
Marcus squatted next to her body, swiping her fringe behind her ears, than kissing her forehead.
"I love you."

---

Junhyung groaned as he sat up in bed with a terrible headache.
He raised his hand to support his head when he felt a sharp pain on his palm. He removed his hand and looked at it in shock.
A cut. He tried to remember how he got it.
"Oh my god, where is Rachel?!" He said out. He swing his legs out and stood up, noticing the broken photo frame across the room, he began walking towards it.
Blood.
He turned his head, and he saw Rachel laying on the floor.
"Rachel!" He kneeled down and hugged her to his body.
"Answer me.. Baby, answer me." He begged. He saw the carvings on her arms, and he clenched his fist in anger.
He looked up, took a deep breath. "Marcus, are you happy now? I swore to be with her no matter what, now she's dead, I don't see the point in me living as well."
With the never ending flow of tears flowing down his cheeks, he picked up the penknife left on the floor, stained with Rachel's blood.
The blade of the penknife sliced through his skin, and through his veins in his wrist. It hurt, but nothing would hurt more than killing his own girlfriend.
"I love you, I love you, I love you." He kept saying that three words over and over again, till he couldn't anymore.

Internal Beauty Chapter 12

2011-01-13T22:09:00.001+08:00

That night Kibum returned to see Steffi, Emi, Maggie and Wanie sitting in the living room.
"Hi girls! Why the gloomy atmosphere?!" Kibum waved to the 4 of them cheerfully.
"Your girlfriend's ex boyfriend paid her a visit." Steffi frowned at Kibum's cheerfulness.
"Did he do anything to her?!"
"Nahs, but when I called her, she was crying very hard, so I rushed back, and made her sleep." Steffi shook her head.
Kibum nodded and ran up the stairs.

"Shouldn't we do something about this? Jungmin is shit persistant." Maggie grumbled.
"Let's look him up, and tell him and the others to stop bothering us." Emi suggested.
"Good idea. How are we gonna track him?" Wanie raised her eyebrow.
"Senses, baby." Emi smiled and the others nodded in understanding.
"We getting Audrey and Ayu in this?" Maggie sat up.
"If we can even find them today." Steffi rolled her eyes. "That two are never around, ever since Audrey got together with Hyungjun and Ayu studying with Kevin..."

"Hey, baby, you okay?" Kibum opened the door slowly. Rachel sat up in bed and rushed to hug him.
"I hate him. So much." She sobbed into his shoulder.
"I know. Don't cry. Please." Kibum smoothed her hair.
"I don't ever wanna see him again, he ruined my life, like how I ruined yours!"
"No.. shhsss. You didn't ruin my life. I chose this." Kibum comforted her. Hearing the door creaked open, he saw Maggie peeking. He motioned for her to come in.
Maggie opened the door wider and slipped in. She hugged Rachel as well.

"Jungmin isn't worth all this hate and pain, dear. Come on, stop crying." Maggie whispered. Rachel looked up.
"You're right." She said to Maggie. "Do you think you have an erasing memory kind of power?" She turned to Kibum.
"What?! No. Even if I do, I won't do it. Do you want to forget all of us?" Kibum scolded her.
"No...."
"Just leave her alone man, she's pregnant, she has mood swings. And she's probably thirsty." Emi came into the room.
"Right! The bottle of blood! I forgot to give it to her!" Kibum remembered and picked up the bottle of blood on the bed.
"So.. she was alone in the house, cause you went to get this?" Emi asked.
"She wanted to hunt, but I wasn't gonna let her hunt, she's pregnant, so I went to hunt for her." Kibum answered.
"True. But you could have called one of us home so that this won't happen." Emi reasoned.
"How was I to know Jungmin will decide to pay her a lovely visit today?" Kibum snapped.
"Life is unpredictable dude, he can drop by anytime, and he is extremely violent, he could have hurt her!" Emi yelled.
"GUYS!" Maggie stopped the both of them.
"Sorry." Emi mumbled, but continued glaring at Kibum.
"This is my fault, if I didn't freak out, nothing would have happened, I could have treated his visit as any other day, him as any one else. But I had to cry, freak out and stuff. It's all my fault." Rachel spoke up.
Maggie rolled her eyes and both Emi and Kibum, giving the 'See-What-Now' look, than proceeded to hug Rachel.
"No, it's not your fault, if it was any of us, we would have freaked out too."

"That is it, we need to stop Jungmin and the royal pain in the ass from coming back." Maggie flopped down on the couch next to Steffi.
"Why? What's wrong?" Steffi looked at Wanie than at Maggie.
"She's hysterical. Or at least on the inside. And she's blaming herself for ruining Kibum's life. Emi and Kibum argued, blahblahblah." Maggie explained.
"Her sensitivity level went up a notch, thanks to her pregnancy." Wanie commented.
"True. That's another 9 days to endure?" Steffi shook her head.
"Yeah, 9 days. Than we have to deal with children running round the house." Maggie sighed.
"I love kids. So it doesn't matter." Steffi smiled.
"Same here. Anyways, talk to you guys later tonight, heading out to meet Alexander." Wanie waved and left.
"Was that Wanie I hear leaving?" Emi came down the stairs.
"How is Rachel?" Maggie asked.
"sleeping. Kibum's with her. Wanie left?"
"Yup, she's meeting Alexander." Steffi answered.
"We haven't even plan our schedule for tomorrow!!" Emi freaked.
"Schedule?" Maggie raised her eyebrow.
"Well... I mean.. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!" Emi raised both her hands in defeat.
"Yeah, we know what you mean. But it was funny when you said schedule, we sound like some celeb." Steffi giggled.
"Yeah yeah, maybe we are!" Emi sat down beside Steffi and the 3 of them started laughing.

---

"You sure this is the place?" Wanie asked as they stood outside the most expensive looking apartment downtown.
"Yeah. This is the place." Emi nodded.
"Let's go." Maggie walked ahead of them.

Kyujong opened the door a few seconds after they rang the doorbell.
"Where is Jungmin?" Steffi demanded to know. Kyujong stuck his head out and look around.
"Where is Audrey?" He asked.
"Erh hello, we asked you a question first?" Wanie waved her hands in front of his face.
"He's in his room, where is Audrey?" He asked again.
"Out with her boyfriend. Let us in. We need to talk to Jungmin.. and the rest of you princes." Maggie said with her hands on her hips.
"Come in." He moved aside for them to walk in. "JUNGMIN! THE GIRLS ARE HERE!" Kyujong yelled.
Jungmin appeared, looking surprise.
"Why are you 4 here?" Jungmin asked.
"To talk to you, and the rest. Where are the rest?"
"Not in, only me and Kyujong."
"Fine, than we'll talk to the both of you first." Wanie gestured for them to sit down.
"Let me guess, this is about Rachel, right?" Jungmin asked.
"Yes, and we're telling you nicely to leave her and the rest of us alone." Maggie said slowly.
"What did you do man?" Kyujong looked at Jungmin. He just waved him off.
"Your brother here, he has violence issues. Rachel is pregnant, he can't just come and visit as and when he likes and traumatize her like that." Emi said.
"WHAT?!" Kyujong looked at Jungmin again.
"I do not have violence issues. I do not!" Jungmin defended himself.
"You threw her across the room a few months back! THAT, my friend, is called violence." Maggie pointed that out.
"Well, that..."
"Whatever it is, what happened 200 years ago, doesn't apply now. We have our own lives now, leave Rachel alone, leave all of us alone. We don't need your protection from whatever vampire hunters. We are fully capable of protecting ourselves." Steffi said.
"And just saying this, but Rachel is getting married, so Jungmin, throw whatever wish you have to gain her back into the wind. You're never getting her back." Emi smirked.
"Pass the message on to your other brothers will ya? Thanks." Wanie walked out of the apartment, making the others follow her.
"Dude, you threw your ex girlfriend across the room?!" Kyujong stared at Jungmin in disbelief.
"Whatever."

---

"Congratulations, you're expecting twins!" The doctor told Rachel and Kibum. "A boy and a girl!"
"TWINS?!" Kibum exclaimed and Rachel looked like she was on the verge of fainting.

Steffi, Wanie, Emi and Maggie met the to-be-parents outside the hospital.
"What's wrong with her?" Steffi jabbed her thumb towards Rachel, who was looking really pale.
"Doctor said she was expecting twins." Kibum explained.
"TWINS?!" Emi said excitedly. "This twins genes really runs in the family!"
"Twins, Ems, TWINS! The pain. Ugh!" Rachel complained.
"You're upset cause of the pain?!" Maggie laughed.
"Duh, WHY DON'T YOU TRY?!" Rachel pouted.
"Aigoo, my little sister." Emi pinched Rachel's cheek, who yelped in pain.
"So is it a both boys or what?" Steffi asked.
"One boy and one girl." Kibum smiled.
"CHOOSE THE NAMES ALREADY?!" Wanie asked.
"Decided to name the girl, Eunha. Boy.. maybe.. Junhyung?" Rachel looked lost in thought.
"Nice!"

---

"Steffi? What you guys doing here?"
"Oh hi Changmin!" Kibum waved.
"Hey Kibum, what you doing here?" He asked again.
"Rachel's coming for a check up." Steffi answered. "What about you?"
"Coming to visit a friend? What's wrong with Rachel?" He looked at Rachel, who looked fine now.
"She's pregnant." Maggie simply said.
"DUDE! IS THAT WHY YOU STOPPED COMING TO SCHOOL?!" Changmin patted Kibum on his shoulder, who just smiled.
"Alrights, I gotta go, Steffi want go grab a bite with me?" Changmin looked at Steffi hopefully.
"Sure!" She smiled sweetly, making Emi and Maggie snorting with laughter at the back.
"See you back at home." Rachel said to Steffi and pulled Kibum out with her.

"Kibum never told any of us that Rachel was pregnant." Changmin pouted.
"He only found out yesterday, maybe he wants to wait till it's confirm before telling the guys." Steffi said, laughing.
"At least I found out earlier than the rest!" Changmin whooped.
"Yupp, you did." Steffi laughed at Changmin.
"Oh by the way, someone in school has a crush on you. Did you know?" Changmin asked nervously.
"Nopes, I don't really bother. I don't even talk to anyone in school except my sisters and you guys."
"Oh, just telling you, there is." Changmin laughed nervously.
"Really? Haha, ask him to come talk to me?" Steffi said.
"The person already is." Changmin mumbled, thinking Steffi won't be able to hear.
"You?"
"What?"
"You're the one?"

MINE - Part 1

2011-01-12T03:13:00.000+08:00

The boy looked up at the house where his girlfriend stayed alone.
He never understood how she could stay in that old and haunted looking house. It gives him the creeps whenever he went over.
He gulped and walked up to the door.
Before he got his hand to knock on the door, it swung open and the next thing he knew he was getting attacked by hugs and kisses.

"Hey." He laughed.
"Hi." The girl smiled and kissed him.
"Why the excitement?" He laughed.
"You know I'm always excited to see you. Especially when we haven't met in days, Junhyung." The girl pouted.
The boy named Junhyung shook his head and smiled at his girlfriend.
"Rachel, why are you so cute?" He pinched her nose lightly.
"Because I am Rachel, duh!" She laughed and pulled him into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he felt a rush of cold air.
He shivered and ignored it. He closed the door behind him and leaned against it.
"Come here." Junhyung pulled Rachel closer to him.
"What?"
"What are you gonna do today?" He buried his head in her neck and mumbled.
"I know what you are thinking, but nothing dirty. I was planning to clean out the house. The attic especially. It's too much for me to do it alone, you gotta help me." She gently push him away and smile.
"Meh. It's 8.30am, can we get something to eat first? Or is there a coke supply in this house?" Junhyung trudged his way to the kitchen.
"Yes, I stocked up on the coke supply last night. Am such a good girlfriend, ain't I?" She giggled and hugged her boyfriend from the back.
"The best. I need to quit my coke addiction." He sighed and shook his head.
"Don't, it's cute." She poked him on the side.
"What do you wanna eat?" She frowned and started staring at the contents of her fridge.
"I'm not hungry. Besides, I can't trust your cooking." Junhyung joked.
"I can cook very well! Hmpfh! Fine, don't eat than. Go away." she tried to push him away from her and out of the kitchen but failed. He was much stronger than she was.
"I was joking baby." He forced hug her.
"You're not forgiven. Till we clear the attic. I have so much stuff from school and childhood there. My gosh." She grumbled as they climbed the stairs to the attic.

"You are not joking when you said you had a lot of stuff up here. This place... I can't even see the floor!"
"I know right. Let's start with here..." She picked up a box.
"We shall go down to my room to sort the stuff out! Since there is no place up here for us to do so." She glanced round the attic and shook her head.

Junhyung picked up a picture frame from the box.
"Is this chubby girl... YOU?!" He smirked.
"Well yeah, that's me. chubby and adorable!"
"I didn't know you had a brother!" Junhyung commented as he took out another frame from the box.
"I don't." Rachel answered without looking up from the photo album.
"Than who is this?" He turned the photo frame.
"WAIT. WHY IS THAT IN THIS BOX?! I swear I threw it away." She snatched the frame out of Junhyung's hands.
"Who's that?" Junhyung stood in front of her.
"My ex boyfriend. Marcus."
"Never heard you talk about him though." Junhyung sat down beside her.
"He committed suicide. When I broke up with him." She said slowly.
"It sounds like something I would do." Junhyung tried to joke, to lighten up the atmosphere.
"I was so afraid of what he said before he killed himself...." Rachel tensed up. "He said that no matter what, he will be with me, no matter what it takes..."
"Alrights, shhhsss, don't talk about it anymore. Come, give me that frame, I'll throw it away for you." Junhyung said, hugging her.
"Stay here, I'll get you something to drink. call Emi or something, to calm you down. Alrights."
He stood up and kissed her forehead before going downstairs with the photoframe.
Rachel shook the hair out of her face and picked up her phone from her bed.
"Hey Ems? Free to talk now?"

Junhyung looked at the photo frame. The boy in the picture... he looks strangely familiar. It's like he knows him. Where has he seen it before.
Sliding his thumb across the picture to wipe the dust away, he looked at the face closely.
"It's him!" Junhyung gasped as he remembered where he had seen Marcus before.

---

"Goodnight. I'm hanging up." Junhyung wished his girlfriend goodnight before hanging up the phone.
Snuggling into his warm blanket, he drifted off to sleep and had the most vivid dream he ever had.

It was dark, all he could see was a light at the end of where he was standing, he kept walking towards it.
"Junhyung. Is it?" He heard someone behind him.
He turned around, and came face to face with a good looking boy, not much older than 17.
"Yes, I am Junhyung. Who are you?" He asked.
"Who am I doesn't matter. You're Rachel's current boyfriend isn't it?"
"So what I am?" Junhyung answered defiantly.
"Oh nothing. Nothing at all." The boy smirked, and slowly faded.
Junhyung turned to continued walking towards the light. It got brighter, till it started to burn his eyes.
He let out a yell, and sat up. It was a dream.

"Are you okay, baby?" Rachel sat down on the bed in front of Junhyung.
"I'm okay, bad dream. Good morning." Junhyung smiled and kissed his girlfriend.
"Sorry, I opened the curtains, cause I couldn't get you to wake up, so I thought maybe the sun would help." Rachel said shyly.
"It's okay." Junhyung laid back on bed, pulling Rachel down with him.
"So what was your bad dream about?" Rachel asked as she played with his hair.
"Nothing much, just that I was walking on forever in a dark place, towards a light, and the light got brighter and I thought my eyes were gonna burn up and I'll go blind."
"Well, it's a dream. Just a dream. Don't bother about it." She laughed and snuggled into his embrace.

---

'What does he want with me? What does he want with Rachel?' Junhyung thought as he clutched the photo frame till his knuckles turned white.
He thought back to what Rachel told him. "He said that no matter what, he will be with me, no matter what it takes..." It echoed in his mind.
The glass of the photo frame shattered in his hands, and the broken glass made a gaping hole in his palm.
"Shit!" Junhyung cursed as he reached for the sink.
But before he could get to the sink, he collasped to the floor.

"Are you oka- OH MY GOD, BABY! ARE YOU OKAY? BABY!!" Rachel walked into the kitchen to see Junhyung on the floor, unconscious. Her phone slipped from her hands and landed on the floor with a crash, but she didn't seem to notice.
"Answer me, are you okay?! YONG JUNHYUNG! ANSWER ME!" Rachel cried as she shook his body.
She reached for her phone. "Ems. Ems...." She was sobbing so hard, she couldn't form a full sentence.
She held up Junhyung's hands to hold them, and it was only than she realised that wound.
"Rachel. Rachh honey. what's wrong? Rachh?" Emi's voice could be heard through the phone.
She reached for phone again, but was stopped. She looked down at what was restraining her. Junhyung's injured hand.
"I'm fine, I'll call you back."

"Rachel." Junhyung said, but it wasn't his voice.
"Junhyung, what's wrong with your voice."
"Rachel." He repeated himself.
"Oh my god, Marcus?!" She backed away from her boyfriend.

"I am home!" Kibum said as he walked into the house.
Silence. The only thing he could hear was Rachel typing away on her keyboard. He raised his eyebrows before slowly climbing up the stairs.
"I'm back!" Kibum opened the door to their room.
"Hmmm." was the only reply he got.
"What's wrong with you?" Kibum turned Rachel to face him.
"Nothing. Really." Rachel struggled free of his grasp on her shoulder.
"You do know you cannot hide things from me right? I know something is up when I see your face." Kibum frowned.
"Fine." She looked down and put his hand on her tummy. Kibum looked down at his eyes widened.
"Are you pregnant?"
"Well yeah, the vomiting, the crazy human blood lust. AND I FEEL FAT!!" She sighed and crashed her head on his chest.
"No, you're not fat. Tell you what, we'll go see a doctor tomorrow to confirm." Kibum patted her back.
"I might bite him."
"Hey, you won't. Believe in yourself. I'm here, alrights?" Kibum hugged her, and that's when her phone rang.

"Yes?"
"Have you told him?" Emi's first words.
"Yupp, he's bringing me to see a gynae tomorrow." Rachel answered and Kibum raised his eyebrows and moved away from her.
"Good! And guess what?!"
"What?!"
"Wanie changed Alexander!" Emi laughed.
"SHE WHAT?!"
"Changed Alexander." Emi repeated.
"So fast?!" Rachel shrieked and Kibum backed away from her even more.
"Apparently so, she found a way to turn him without hurting him." Emi explained.
"How so?"
"As you know, our blood has venom, so when a human drinks a large amount of vampire blood, the venom gets introduced to their blood system, it will start to give them vampirish characteristic, than when the venom gets to the heart, it will just stop it, no pain. Nothing." Emi explained.
"Uh..." Rachel took awhile to get that into her head. "OH!"
"AND WHY NOBODY EVER TOLD ME ABOUT THIS METHOD, AND I HAD TO MAKE KIBUMMIE GO THROUGH ALL THAT PAIN!?" Rachel yelled into the phone.
"Well, she was just experimenting a theory." Emi said.
"Damn it.." Rachel cursed.
"Ah well, what is over is over." Emi said.
"True. Hey, listen, I'll talk to you when you get back, I gotta go, puking feeling again." With that she hung up and threw the phone on the bed before running to the toilet to puke.
Kibum ran after her to the toilet, and held her hair back as she vomitted.

"Bummie, can we go hunt? Thirsty beyond words." Rachel turned back to look at Kibum, and he got a shock.
She was a pale as sheet.
"No, you stay here, I can't let you go out there, what if something happens to you, wait here. I go get blood for you." Kibum helped Rachel back to their room. "Now, rest." Kibum instructed before he left the room.

"Hey Alexander!" Siwon called out.
"Oh hey Siwon." Alexander looked up from his book.
"Heard that Wanie changed you already." Siwon lowered his voice as the couple sitting next to Alexander glanced over suspiciously.
"OH! Yup! Painless way." Alexander smiled.
"How did she do it?" Siwon asked.
"Well...."

[FLASHBACK]

"Xander, I have a theory on changing you painlessly. But I'm not sure if it will work, do you wanna try it?" Wanie asked Alexander.
"Sure, why not? Worth a shot isn't it?" Alexander said excitedly. "So how is it gonna go?"
Wanie sighed and put a cup of thick and red liquid into his hands.
"What's this?" He asked.
"This is the extremely rare and hard to find -"
"Vampire blood." Alexander finished the sentence for her.
"That is right. That's my blood. Which is extremely hard to come by, cause I heal faster than anyone else." Wanie said.
"You heal faster than your sisters?" Alexander asked, curious.
"Yes, that is one of my powers too, I guess. I heal faster than any of the prince also."
"Okay. So how does this work? I drink this and ... ?" He looked questioningly at Wanie.
"Well, vampire blood has vampire venom, you drink vampire blood, vampire venom into your blood system, giving you vampire characteristics, and than when the vampire venom gets to your heart, it will just.. stop. And you will be a vampire. But it takes a few days tho." Wanie said everything in one breath.

---

"Painless?" Siwon asked again.
"Yes, painless. No pain at all, though there was some kind of shock when my heart stopped." Alexander shrugged.
"Could you convince Wanie to give me some of her blood too?" Siwon asked Alexander.
"What?! No, go ask Maggie for it tsk!" Alexander pushed Siwon away.
"At least ask Wanie to tell Maggie bout this easier method." Siwon begged.
"Why are you desperate to be a vampire?"
"Same reason as you, dude. Same reason as you" Siwon waved back as he walked away.
"Pfft!"

---

"I haven't seen Kibum in ages." Eli randomly said as he played with Emi's hair.
"He's staying at my house. You just don't have the luck to see him. He's always out anyways." Emi answered.
"And also, Alexander has been acting strange. Siwon too! And Hyungjun too! What is wrong with everyone?!"
"I ... uh.."
"Do you know why?" Eli eyed her.
"Why don't you tell me why?" Emi retorted and Eli just shook his head.
"YOU tell me why."
Emi kept quiet for a few minutes, before she looked up at the ceiling and let out a huge sigh.
"Fine, I'll tell you why."
"Still waiting." Eli raised one eyebrow.
Emi sighed again, looked down at Eli, showing him her fangs and her blood red eyes.
"WOAH?!" Eli took a step back.
"Yeah I know. 'WOAH!'" Emi said as she walked away.
"To tell you the truth." Eli started, making Emi stop walking.
"I kinda suspected already, when I heard what Rachel said in class, when Kibum and Rachel stopped coming to school.... But whatever it is, I'm not afraid."
"You don't know what you will be getting yourself into."
"As a matter of fact, I do know." Eli said, stepping closer to Emi.
"Yeah and so? I'm a monster. I shouldn't have deceived you for so long. I'm so sorry." Emi refused to look at Eli.
"Yes, you're a monster. But you're my monster."
"Huh?" Emi finally looked up.

Rachel was about to drift off the sleep when she heard the door bell ring. Thinking it was Kibum, she rushed down to open the door, only to be greeted by Jungmin.
"What do you want now?" Rachel asked darkly.
"You're pregnant?" Jungmin stepped into the house.
"Yes, and what how did you even know?"
"Mika, he saw your future." Jungmin simply answered.
"Oh. And I still don't see how this concerns you?" Rachel asked, still standing by the door.
"It concerns me in every way. You're suppose to be mine!" Jungmin pushed her against the wall.
"Oh really? Did Mika see that future? I highly doubt so." Rachel pushed him away.
"How can your and your sisters' feelings for us fade off just like that?!" Jungmin yelled.
"Why can't we?"
"You spent all eternity trying to avoid us, just because of what you heard our father said. You didn't even hear what we had to say to defend you girls." Jungmin tried to calm down.
"200 years isn't all eternity, just saying."
"It is, to humans."
"WE.ARE.NOT.HUMANS." Rachel said slowly.
"I still don't understand... Do you even know how much it hurt when we found out the 7 of you left, just like that?!"
Rachel looked away, with tears in her eyes, not wanting Jungmin to see it.
"I never wanted to be vampire. All I wanted was a normal life. All I wanted was to get married to a normal guy, have a family, and lead a normal life. But you came into my life, made me fall in love with you, turned me into a vampire, and now, how can I have a normal life?!" Rachel yelled.
"I..."
"Don't even start. I don't ever wanna see you again. Don't claim to love me, when you ruined my life. GET OUT!" She pointed to the door, not bothering to hide her tears now.
"It was only because I wanted to love you for all eternity...." Jungmin turned to say before he left.

Rachel leaned against the door and sat there crying, and her phone rang.
'Steffi' flashed across the screen. Rachel calmed herself down before answering the phone cheerfully.
"Are you okay?" Steffi asked.
"Why would I not be?"
"Don't lie to me, rachh. What's wrong?" Steffi asked sternly.
"Jungmin came."

“You serious about changing Alexander into a vampire?” Rachel whispered to Wanie at the dinner table, earning a kick from Maggie, glancing at Ayu.
“Talk to you later.” Wanie whispered back and looked back at her food.
“That is a relief.” Emi said calmly when Wanie told her and Rachel about her decision. “NOT!”
“I mean, one male vampire is enough, we don’t need another one. If they all start staying with us, people in school will talk, and how sure are we that he won’t be human blood thirsty like Rachel.” Emi looked at Rachel briefly.
“I can control myself though.” Rachel defended herself.
“Well yeah, you’re 219 years old. Of cause you can. You had 200 years of practice.” Wanie snapped.
“Hey!”
“We are here to discuss, not to start an argument.” Emi put her hands up.
“I’ve made up my mind, what is there to discuss?!” Wanie sighed.
“You sure you wanna see him suffer?” Rachel sighed even louder. “When I changed Kibum, it was the worse night of my 219 years. I never want to see anyone in that much pain!” Rachel shivered.
“Which is why I haven’t told Eli. Yeah.” Emi gave a peace sign.
“You need to tell him soon though.” Wanie said.
“I know… how do I even tell him?!” Emi flopped down on Steffi’s bed.
“Her.” Wanie pointed to Rachel.
“ME AGAIN?!” Rachel sighed in defeat. “Always me who does the dirty job” She mumbled under her breath

---

“So.. Wanie is really changing Alexander?” Kibum asked as he and Rachel cuddled on her bed.
“I guess so, she seems determined. I tried to warn her, about how hard it is to watch the transformation process.” Rachel moved away from Kibum and sat at the edge of the bed.
“But it’s better than seeing your loved one dying slowly while you never get old right?” Kibum asked as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed the back of her neck.
“That is true. And that is also one of the reasons why I chose to change you.” Rachel turned around and gave Kibum a hug.
He looked into her eyes, and slowly inched closer. She smiled and he kissed her.
The kiss got more passionate and after a few minutes, he pulled away, and asked “Can vampires have babies?”
“Hmm, I think so, cause Boa unnie has a daughter and I remembered she had a vampire boyfriend an-“ She got cut short with Kibum’s lips on hers. She smiled into the smile.
His tongue licked her bottom lip, begging for permission, and she gently parted them.
He tasted her mouth, before slipped his hands beneath her shirt.
And what happened that night, was something that Rachel has never experienced in her 219 years of living.

---

“Morning sister!” Emi burst into the room in the morning. “OHMY. I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING!” Emi covered her eyes and closed the door slowly.
“Crap, she saw us!” Rachel sat up slowly, pulling the blanket to cover her bare chest.
“What’s wrong with her seeing us?” Kibum asked, still half asleep.
“She’ll blab to Ayu and she will KILL ME even before the Vampire Hunters get to me.” Rachel beat his back.
At the word ‘Kill’, Kibum sat up and stared at Rachel.
“Right. Time to silence someone.” He said, and got out of bed, getting dressed real quickly.
“Be right back.” He told Rachel.

“Hey Emi~” Kibum saw Emi in her room, texting someone.
“I know you saw what you saw, but don’t tell anyone, please?” Kibum begged.
“Who ever said I was gonna tell anyone?” Emi looked up in shock.
“Rachel said you’ll blab, and Ayu will kill her.” Kibum said, confused.
“Nah, Ayu has issues on her hand to care. Anyways, it’s not as though you two are not a couple. I’m sure the others will want a baby vampire to run around here. No wait…” Emi said and faded off.
“Are you having a blond moment right now?” Kibum shook his head.
“Kind of, I forgot what I wanted to say. Damn!” Emi’s face flushed red.
“Just don’t tell anyone okays, and really, there are such things as Vampire babies?” Kibum scratched the back of his head.
“Yea.”
“But how do they grow?” Kibum asked, apparently very confused.
“They grow to a certain age, than they stop growing.” Emi said, not looking at him.
“And what is the certain age?”
“Depends really, the average age of you and Rachh, divided by 2”
“BUT SHE’S 219!” Kibum stuttered that out.
“No silly, she’s 19. Minus her vampire years.” Emi glared at Kibum who slowly nodded his head in understanding.
“8 and a half?” That is a good age.” Kibum nodded.
“Yeah, now go back to Rachh.” Emi pointed to the door.
As Kibum walked out, Maggie walked in.
“Hey sup. Morning.” Maggie greeted and Kibum just waved it off.
“Rude much?” Maggie pouted. “Why was he in here?” Maggie looked at Emi.
“Hmm, to bribe me into not telling something, and to ask about Vampire babies.” Emi answered, still staring at her phone.
“Vampire babies.. Hmm.. OH NO WAIT. THEY DID IT!” Maggie laughed.
“Yeah I barge into their room this morning… man it was awkward.” Emi shook her head.
“Damn. This is news. And guess what? Now that Alexander said that he wants to be Vampire, Siwon is begging me to change him too.” Maggie complained.
“No way. Not another male vampire. Gosh.” Emi smacked her forehead.
“I know right? Sighs. Anyways, want go hunt?” Emi looked at the forest beyond their house.
“Sure, getting a little thirsty, and eating human food is crap. Taste like ashes.” Maggie grumbled before walking out of the room, knocking on Rachel’s door.
“Rachh, me and Ems are heading out to hunt, you two joining us?” Maggie shouted.
“Yeahyeah, give me 5 minutes.” She heard Rachel’s frantic voice, and someone yelping in pain.
“I’m sorry!” Maggie heard Kibum apologized and she shook her head.
“5 minutes is all you got, than we’re leaving without you!” Maggie shouted and started to leave.
“Done!” Rachel opened the door, revealing herself fully dressed and Kibum… half dressed.
“Get some clothes will you?” Maggie shook her head again.
“I am! I am!” Kibum answered.

“So… what did you two do last night?” Maggie nudged Rachel as they walked to the forest.
“Nothing nothing.” Rachel blushed.
“What nothing? There is something in the nothing.” Maggie laughed.
“Do you wanna be an aunt?” Rachel asked, instead of answering her question.
“Of cause I do, and I know you’re gonna make that happen!” Maggie giggled.
“What you girls talking about?” Siwon appeared out of nowhere and hugged Maggie by the waist.
“Discussing about how I am gonna eat you alive.” Rachel said randomly.
“Eat me? She’s thirsty isn’t she?” Siwon looked at Maggie for answers.
“Yurp. She hasn’t hunted since … I don’t know when, but it’s been a long time.” Maggie nodded.
“So, when you gonna change me huh?” Siwon kissed Maggie’s cheek.
“We talked about this..” Maggie sighed. Rachel took a look at both of them, and ran off to Kibum and Emi, who were walking infront, making Kibum piggyback her.
Maggie looked at them, than back at Siwon.
“I won’t change you, I won’t let you ruin your life like this.” Maggie walked away.
“But… Kibum was changed. Alexander will be changed. Why can’t I?” Siwon pulled Maggie’s arms.
“I DON’T WANT TO RUIN YOUR LIFE! If it’s any better, how bout we break up?” Maggie wrenched her arms out of Siwon’s grip and ran towards Emi.

“What’s wrong?” Emi looked at her tear stained face.
“I broke up with Siwon.” Maggie sniffed.
“WHUT?!... BUT WHY?!” Kibum widen his eyes.
“He keeps insisting I should change him. But I don’t want to. I don’t want him to ruin his life.” Maggie hid her face in her hands.
“MAGGIE!” Siwon called out.
The 3 sisters looked at him.
“We need to talk.” Siwon looked at Maggie.
“We have nothing to talk about.” Maggie looked away.
“Please.” Siwon begged.
“Go, clear things up.” Rachel and Emi held her hands, encouraging her.

Maggie walked away with Siwon.
“What do you want to talk about?” She turned to him with her arms folded.
“I won’t insist that you change me into a vampire, but if you love me, do you want to be separated from me? Would you want to watch me fade away? Would you want to watch me die?” Siwon hugged her.
“No, no and no to your questions. But…..”
“No buts, I’m willing to make this sacrifice for you, simply because I love you too much to let you go, and I don’t want to think about life without you by my side.” Siwon said and gently kissed her.
“Being a vampire is a huge sacrifice.” Maggie sighed.
“I know, but nothing is too huge a sacrifice for you.”
“I love you. And thanks for accepting me for who I am.” Maggie smiled through her tears.

---

“Alls well.” Kibum said.
“Whut?” Emi looked up.
“All is well between Siwon and Maggie.
“How do you know?” Emi looked surprise.
“Darling, remember his powers?” Rachel said lazily.
“Ohyeah. How could I forget. Ah, since all is well, let’s go.” Emi shrugged and walked off.

---

“Tell me, what is the real reason why you wanna be a vampire?” Wanie eyed Alexander, who was sitting on the couch opposite her.
“Coolzo.”
“Besides that.” Wanie glared.
“You.”
“Bes- wait, what?!”
“You. Y-O-U.” Alexander smiled.
“Why me?”
“Cause I like you, and I wanna be equals with you.”
“Being human doesn’t make you less inferior or more superior than a vampire you know?” Wanie rolled her eyes.
“Okay, how about….” Alexander stood up and walk over to Wanie.
“What?” Wanie asked nervously.
“What if I said, I wanna live with you forever.” Alexander grabbed her hands.
“Ya say whut?!”
“I wanna live with you forever. I wanna be with you forever. I want to love you forever.” Alexander said slowly, making sure Wanie caught all of that.
“… Right.”
“Will you be my girlfriend?” Alexander asked softly as he cupped Wanie’s face in his hands.
“I.. uh.. Yes.” Wanie smiled.
“Than can I be a Vampire?” He asked childishly.
“Let’s talk about that another time, okay?” Wanie laughed.
“Okay, let’s talk about it tonight.” Alexander nodded.
“Another day.” Wanie insisted.
“Fine fine.” He pouted.

---

[2 weeks later]

“I think I’m gonna …” Rachel jumped from the couch and ran to the bathroom.
“Are you okay baby?”Kibum followed her to the bathroom and patted her back.
“I’m fine. I’m not sure what is wrong with me, I’m vomiting like mad recently. I must have drunk some contaminated animal blood. Shit!” Rachel cursed as she washed her mouth.
“And this you don’t tell Ayu. I’ve been craving for human blood recently.” Rachel sighed and rest her head on Kibum’s chest.
“It’s normal isn’t it? You are the one out of your sisters that is human blood crazy, right?” Kibum stroke her hair.
“Yeah, but I never had such cravings. This is bad, what if I can’t control myself?” Rachel buried her face in his shirt.
“You can do it baby. Just believe in yourself, and I’m always here for you.” Kibum gently lifted her face, making Rachel smile.

“Emi, it’s not possible for someone to show signs of pregnancy just after 2 weeks right?” Rachel randomly asked Emi that night.
“Huh? For human, nopes, for Vampires, yes. Cause of that accelerated growth thingy that I don’t understand.” Emi eyed Rachel. “Why? Are you showing signs?”
“I’ve been vomiting a lot recently. Not to mention that insane craving for human blood.” Rachel said softly.
“Vomiting, cravings… sounds like signs. Do you have any other signs?” Emi asked.
“I’m not too sure, I always have back aches, but you know that is normal for me. I don’t know what else.” Rachel looked away.
“Let’s just go and buy the pregnancy test kit to test alrights? Let’s go.” Emi smiled encouragingly and slowly pulled Rachel’s arm.

They walked into the convenient store nearby their house, and as soon as they entered, Rachel’s eyes turn blood red and she tensed up.
“Are you okay?” Emi asked, concerned over the sudden change in her sister’s eyes.
“I don’t think I can do this. Too many people here, their blood…” Rachel said and ran out of the store.
Emi look at her running out and shook her head. She grabbed the pregnancy test kit, paid for it and went home to look for her.
“I can’t believe myself. I almost bit someone.” Rachel cried, with Steffi’s arms around her.
“What happened to her?” Steffi looked at Emi for answers.
“We went to the convenient store to buy something, there were too many people inside, so she almost bit someone” Emi said as she went over to hug Rachel.
“My poor girl, must have been an awful feeling.” Steffi hugged her as well.
“Why are the 3 of you hugging without me?” Wanie came in.
“Long story. But come here.” Steffi gestured for Wanie to come.
“I need to talk to Rachh in private, is that okay?” Emi looked at Steffi and Wanie.
They nodded and Emi brought Rachel to the bathroom.

“Go. Test.” Emi said and closed the door.
As soon as she closed the door, she came face to face with Eli.
“What are you doing here?” Emi asked Eli.
“To look for you?” Eli answered.
“I’m not free, I have a crisis.” Emi replied, flustered.
“What crisis?”
“Rachh is… might be.. pregnant.” Emi frowned
“FOR REAL?!” Eli widen his eyes in shock.
“Maybe, she’s doing the test. Don’t tell Kibum yet. I talk to you tonight.” Emi said and pointed the way out.

“Rachhie, are you done?” Emi knocked on the bathroom door softly. “You’ve been in there for half an hour honey, are you okay?”
Rachel opened the door slowly, showing Emi something in her hand.
“Double line.. what does that mean?” Emi went into the bathroom and picked up the box.
“OH!”

Rolling in snow.

2010-12-25T03:07:00.000+08:00

"Wake up, sleepy heads!" Steffi and Reyna chanted.
"Huh, whuttimeizit?" Rachel mumbled.
"5.34am!" Steffi said excitedly.
"Why are you waking us up at this time?” Maggie grunted as she sat up slowly.
“To prepare for our Christmas eve dates of cause!” Reyna whooped.
“Whut date?” Emi asked.
“How many dates can you have?” Wanie smacked Emi’s head.
“As a matter of fact, I can have many.” Emi gave a weak smile.
“OH MY, GURL! ELI IS ENOUGH!” Wanie laughed.

Amidst all this commotion, Miyu managed to continue sleeping, without any signs of waking up.
The girls were at Rachel and Emi’s house, having a sleepover.

“That girl, she sure can sleep.” Rachel said, poking Miyu with her toe.
“This is your first sleepover with her isn’t it? Yeah, she can sleep through an earthquake and wake up not knowing that it happened.” Ayu laughed.
“Hey! Wait a minute, why are we up at 5am to prepare for a date that doesn’t even happen till 10am?!” Emi asked, eyes opened wide.
“Cause we are vain?” Steffi answered slowly.
“We are?!” Emi laughed.
“Not ‘WE’, it’s ‘YOU’!” Reyna giggled.
“Hey!”
“She is right, siz. You ARE vain.” Rachel grinned stupidly, earning a kick from Emi.
“Whatever, you girls are mean!” Emi pouted and Rachel ran over to hug her.
“But I love you!” Rachel made the kissy face.
“Oh my, SAVE THAT FOR YOUR BABY BOY!” Emi pushed Rachel off, making her fall on Miyu.

“Will you girls shut up?!” Miyu growled from under the blanket.
“It’s about time you woke up too, time to prepare for your date with Jiyong!” Reyna went over to Miyu and pulled her blanket off.
“Go away. I don’t need 4 hours to prepare, like you girls!” Miyu covered her face with Wanie’s pillow.
“True, but you see, we only have 2 bathroom, and for 8 girls to prepare. Hmmm. 4 hours is defo needed.” Steffi explained.
“I let you girls go first.” Miyu groan and turn away from all of them.
“My little ray of sunshine.” Maggie smiled and gestured towards Miyu.
“So who goes first?” Reyna asked.
“Me!” Steffi raised her hand and ran out of the room.
“NEXT ME!” Maggie laughed and ran to the other toilet.
“I’m going back to bed. Nights.” Rachel fell back into bed.
“I have a pig for a sister. I also can’t believe I’m 8 minutes older than her.” Emi complained.
“Live with it.” Miyu groaned again.

----

“Miyu, are you done?!” Wanie yelled from the bottom of the stairs, where the other girls were seated.
“Hmm yeahyeah.” Miyu waved her off as she came down the stairs.
“Stunning.” They heard someone said, and all 8 girls spun around to look at the direction where the voice came from.

“Junhyung?! How did you even get in here?” Emi widen her eyes in shock.
“Rachh gave me the keys?” Junhyung scratched the back of his head.
“What? Rachel!” Emi turned to glare at Rachel.
“Heh, I got too lazy to open the door for him every time he comes around?” Rachel hid behind Junhyung.
“Why don’t you ask him to move in, he’s always here anyways.” Wanie said lazily.
“No, no and no! He might do things.” Emi, being the protective sister protested.
“Do things? Like what? What are you even thinking, Emi!” Junhyung yelled.
“Now, now, peace. Peace. She meant nothing.” Maggie said, being the hippie and all.
“Maggs, you don’t even know the things he would do to Rachel if left alone.” Emi looked at Maggie in disbelief.
“We’ve been left alone for loads of time already, and no accidents yet.” Rachel said softly.
“What was that?” Emi looked at Rachel.
“Hey, IT’S CHRISTMAS EVE! WHY ARE YOU FIGHTING?!” Steffi hugged Emi and tried to calm her down.
“Fine, I’ll let this slide, since it’s Christmas eve and how much my sister loves you.” Emi rolled her eyes.
“I heard yelling, what’s going on?” Eli walked in.
“Hey baby!” Emi rushed to Eli’s side and glared at Junhyung.
“Sup Eli.” Junhyung greeted Eli, who smiled back in return.
“I just realized something. Rachel and Junhyung, you’re both standing under the mistletoe! Guess what that means?” Reyna laughed.
“I don’t remember this mistletoe being here last night.” Rachel blushed.
“We put it up this morning before you girls woke up!” Steffi high fived Reyna.
“C’mon, just kiss already!” Maggie clapped her hands.
“Just on the cheeks, Junhyung…” Emi warned.
Junhyung looked at Emi, and kissed Rachel on the lips. Emi sighed.
“That was pleasant.” Miyu said.
“It will be your turn soon.” Steffi said evilly.”

Rachel walked over to Emi, and butt pushed her under the mistletoe. Junhyung did the same to Eli.
“ALRIGHTS, IT’S YOUR TURN NOW, SIZ!” Rachel gave a sly smile.
“No way, not infront of you guys!” Emi protested.
“Shut up.” Eli said and pressed his lips against hers.
“Oooooo.” Rachel laughed
“Ohmy, DO I REALLY NEED TO SEE THIS?!” Jonghyun covered his eyes as he walked in with Steffi’s older sister, Adeline.
“Yo siz.” Steffi waved to Adeline.
“Hmm hi. Did you wreck some havoc here?” Adeline look closely at Steffi.
“Nopes!” Steffi said cheerfully.
“She woke all of us up at 5.30am!” Miyu complained.
“Whatever for?!” Adeline asked, shocked.
“To prepare?” Steffi said innocently.
“Right.. Where are the boyfriends of the other girls? Late again, are they?” Adeline looked around the house.
“If you don’t mind, me and Rachh are off! Bye!” Junhyung waved to everyone and put his arms around Rachel and guided her to his car.
“We’re going off too. We just drop by to see see look look. See you tonight at the countdown! Bye!” Adeline said and went off with Jonghyun as well.

Emi looked at the others. “I … guess, me and Eli are off too. See you girls back here tonight! Bye!”

“Now what?” Steffi looked at Reyna, Wanie, Maggie, Ayu and Miyu.
“Sit and wait?” Maggie suggested.
“Yeah, brilliant suggestion.” Miyu said sarcastically.

---

“Anything special you wanna do today?” Junhyung asked as soon as they got into the car.
“I just want to spend the day with you.” Rachel smiled sweetly.
“Come here.” Junhyung pulled Rachel’s neck and kissed her gently.
When they pulled apart a few minutes later, Rachel was blushing like mad.
“Baby gurl, it’s been 3 years, stop blushing whenever I kiss you.” Junhyung laughed, making Rachel pout and covered her cheeks.
“Shut up and drive.” Rachel pointed to the road and Junhyung grabbed hold of her hands.
“Anything you say ~” He laughed again.

“Seriously, jjong, where are we going?” Adeline asked Jonghyun.
“Hmm, you’ll see. Are you cold?” Jonghyun asked, concerned.
“A little.” Adeline shivered to prove her point.
Jonghyun looked at her for a few moments, then smiled. Taking off his jacket, he put it around Adeline’s shoulders.
“Aren’t you cold?!” Adeline asked.
“Yes, but a little sacrifice is worthwhile for you.” Jonghyun smiled and hugged her.
“Thank you and I love you.” Adeline smiled into the hug.
“I love you too.”
And they stood hugging out in the snow.

“I wonder where Junhyung is taking Rachh?” Emi wondered out loud.
“Ems, would you stop worrying for your sister for once. She is the same age as you, minus 8 minutes, that’s all! She can look after herself, I’m sure.” Eli said, apparently annoyed.
“Okay okay, I’m sorry. I can’t help it, we grew up by ourselves, naturally, I feel protective over her. Don’t be like this, please.” Emi tugged at Eli’s sleeves.
“Just loosen up on her, and let yourself enjoy this day with me. I had never had a proper date with you in a long time.” Eli held Emi’s face in his gloved hands, making Emi giggle.
“What?” Eli asked.
“Just reminded me how you asked me to be your girlfriend.” She giggled even more.
“Okay, stop giggling. I’m cold, let’s go Starbucks and seek refuge till we decide where to go alrights?” Eli laughed.
“Okay okay.” Emi said slowly, trying to stop giggling.

---

“Hey baby, why so grumpy looking today?” Jiyong pouted infront of Miyu. Making her smile a little.
“I got woken up at 5.30am today. And we slept around 2am the night before. I’m lacking of sleep, baby.” Miyu sighed and rested her head on Jiyong’s shoulder.
“Woah, what do you girls do in a sleepover?!” Jiyong laughed.
“Actually, we agreed to sleep early, but somehow, we started doing our nails.” Miyu said, lifting up her hands to show Jiyong her nicely painted nails.
“That’s pretty. Who did it for you?” Jiyong asked, taking her hand and examining the nails carefully.
“Reyna.”
“Hyunseung’s girlfriend?” Jiyong asked and Miyu nodded.
“Could you get her to do my nails too?!” Jiyong joked, earning a punch on his shoulders.
“I was joking!” Jiyong laughed.
“Actually.. if you wanted to do your nails, I could help you! We just found our agenda for the day baby!” Miyu grinned.
“Uh-oh.” Jiyong stepped back.
“Let’s go my house. Imma make your nails so pretty!” Miyu laughed evilly.

----

“I’m kinda hungry, Max. Can we go somewhere to eat?” Steffi pulled Max’s arm.
“Sure, where do you want to go after that?” Max asked.
“A movie? I don’t know. I don’t want to be outdoors! It’s minus 27 degrees!” Steffi shivered.
“Alrights, movie it is. But I thought you might want to have a better date since it’s Christmas eve.”
“It’s already good enough, cause I get to spend the day with you. Instead of my crazy girlfriends.” Steffi smiled.
“I don’t think they wanna spend the day with you either!” Max joked.
“Hey! They love me!” Steffi protested.
“But I love you more!” Max pouted and hugged Steffi tightly.
“I know.” Steffi hugged back.

“Ohmygod! Let me down!” Maggie begged Dongwoon.
“Nopes!” Dongwoon grinned.
Dongwoon had lifted Maggie on his back, making her scream.
“Girls, a little help?” Maggie looked at Wanie, Ayu and Reyna.
“Looks fun, you should enjoy it.” Ayu smiled sweetly.
“Grr. I’ll make sure Kan does that to you!” Maggie threatened.
“Alrights, goodbye, sunshine!” Wanie laughed and pushed Dongwoon who was roaring with laughter, out of the door.
“That is not funny, lover boy.” Maggie doesn’t look please.
“You gotta admit, that was romantic.” Dongwoon pouted.
“Not really, kissing under the mistletoe like Rachel and Junhyung did was romantic, NOT LIFTING ME UP.” Maggie beat Dongwoon’s chest.
“Oh, you want that?” Dongwoon raised his eyebrows and pulled Maggie back into the house.
“What? Why are you back?” Reyna asked.
Dongwoon waved her off.
“Mistletoe.” Wanie pointed out.
“OH!” Ayu gasped and turn her back on the couple. She looked at Reyna and Wanie who were staring intensely at the couple.
“Girls, give them a little privacy.” Ayu said and pulled the 2 girls.
Maggie rolled her eyes at them and turned back to say something to Dongwoon, but she got cut off with Dongwoon’s lips on hers.
Wanie cleared her throat. “Erm, time to scoot.” She said and left with Ayu and Reyna.
“Remember to lock the door before you leave!” Reyna shouted back into the house.
Maggie frowned.
“That was nice, but don’t we have a date?” Maggie asked.
“We could always date, IN the house.” Dongwoon smirked.
“No. OH. NO NO NO .” Maggie backed off, knowing what Dongwoon was thinking.
“Let’s just go~” Maggie rolled her eyes, and dragged a laughing Dongwoon out.

“I don’t get why our boyfriends are always last to turn up. Argh!” Wanie complained.
“Do I hear someone complaining about us?” They heard someone say.
“Well, yes, you are VERY late.” Ayu turned and said when she saw Kan, with Alexander and Hyunseung.
“It’s not that we are VERY late, it’s that, the others were TOO early. It’s only 10.10am though.” Alexander looked at his watch.
“Well, that is true, Junhyung got here at 9.30am. Impatient freak.” Reyna shook her head.
“But now that we are here, let’s go, shall we?” Kan hugged Ayu.
“Hmm yes please. I’m freezing my butt out here.” Ayu laughed.

“Where are you going?” Wanie hid her face in Alexander’s jacket.
“Food hunt.” He simply said.
“Huh? Food hunt?!” Wanie looked up at him.
“Yes, gonna look for all your favourite food!” He smiled.
“You don’t have to. It’s probably very far. And it’s too tedious.” Wanie shook her head.
“Silly girl, what’s a car for?” Alexander pointed to the car behind him.
“Isn’t that Kibum’s car?” Wanie raised her eyebrows.
“HyungJun’s” Alexander corrected her.
“Whatever, whoever it belongs to.”
“So, let’s go shall we?” Alexander opened the passenger seat door for Wanie.
She climbed into the car and ‘wow’-ed a lot of times.
“HyungJun loaned you his car. THIS CAR. HIS CAR.” Wanie gasped.
“Yupp. Let’s say, he owes me a favour.” Alexander laughed.
“Right.. Food hunt you say?”
“Righto!”

“Isn’t this the direction to YOUR house?” Ayu raised her eyebrows as Kan led her down his street.
“Yup.” He answered.
“Wasn’t the plan to go to my house, so you could meet my parents?” Ayu said, with a tinge of annoyance in her voice, making Kan look at her carefully.
“Yupp. And it will still happen. Just that, I have a party, and it won’t be complete without you.” Kan smiled innocently, melting Ayu’s initial annoyance away.
“Fine, but we’ll still drop by my house before we head back to Em and Rachh’s okay?” Ayu said as she took Kan’s outstretched hand.
“Yes mdm!” Kan saluted with his free hand.
“Such a dork!” Ayu waved him away.
“Your dork, to be honest.” Kan smirked.
“Sure you are.” Ayu pinched Kan’s nose lightly.

“Where are you bringing me to?” Reyna asked Hyunseung as she scanned her surroundings.
“I rented a dance studio.”
“For what?”
“To dance? Duh?” Hyunseung laughed.
“But why?”
“Cause I do know you like dancing, and I also know I like dancing. What’s a more perfect than having a date in a dance studio, dancing all day long?!” Hyunseung said excitedly.
“Awwh, why are you so thoughtful hmm?” Reyna hugged Hyunseung tightly.
“Cause I am Hyunseung, and I am also your loving boyfriend. Only available in Reyna’s arms.” Hyunseung said with a straight face.
Reyna couldn’t help cracking up. “Why do you sound like you are doing a commercial?!” Reyna laughed.
“I don’t really know. It sounded cool though.” Hyunseung laughed along.
“You seriously brighten up my day. I love you.” Reyna sighed and hugged him again.
“I love you too! Let’s go!” Hyunseung grabbed Reyna’s hands and ran in the studio.

“10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1… MERRY CHRISTMAS!” The 18 of them cheered, and it felt like that house was gonna collapse.

“Your presents!” Rachel hurriedly took presents from underneath their Christmas tree and distributing to her friends, and to her boyfriend.
“You wanna see yours?” Junhyung whispered in her ear.
“Yes!” Rachel nodded excitedly.
“Let’s go outside.” Junhyung smiled and held her hands.
“What do we have to come out to give me my present?” Rachel looked confused.
“Cause…” Junhyung started slowly, than got down on his knees.
“Wh…aat?” Rachel shivered, from the cold air and the fact that her boyfriend actually went down on his knees.
“Will you marry me?” Junhyung asked, blushing furiously.
Rachel laughed nervously. “Don’t joke around anymore, Junhyung.”
“I’m not joking. I’m being entirely serious this time, but I don’t blame you if you don’t –“ Junhyung started mumbling but got stopped by Rachel fingers on his lips.
“Of cause, if you mean that, I would be more than happy to say yes.” She smiled sweetly.
He looked up and saw the truth in her eyes, and he began to smile.
“Yes. You said yes, YOU SAID YES!” Junhyung yelled and tackled her in a hug, making her stagger back and falling onto the snow laden ground.
“I did say yes, but you didn’t have to make me fall onto snow, you make me wanna roll in snow right now.” She laughed, but didn’t attempted to get up.
“Than roll in the snow, baby,”

"Hey Wanie!" Alexander called out to Wanie in the school hallway?
"Yes?" She turned.
"Erm, I have 2 tickets to Lotte World, so I was wondering if you wanna go with me?" Alexander said.
"Lotte World? Sure, I would love to go with you!" Wanie smiled, making Alexander melt a little.
"So I'll see you tomorrow?" Alexander smiled back.
"Yes, pick me up at my house?" Wanie asked.
"Sure!"
"Just be prepared for alot of questions, especially from Rachel, Emi and Maggie." Wanie laughed.
"Yeah I know. So I've heard." Alexander laughed along.
"Yeah, so see you!" Wanie waved and left.

"So.... a date with Alexander huh?" The school resident bitch, Minah, leaned against Wanie's locker and smirked.
"It's none of your business." Wanie pushed her away and tried to open the locker, but was blocked by Minah.
"Stay away from my Alexander and nothing will happen to you." Minah threatened.
"Oh really? Do I look like I really care?" Wanie stared at her.
"Oh, you're not afraid?" Minah pretended to look shock.
"Why should I be, you won't be able to hurt me at all." Wanie smirked.
"WOAH WOAH WOAH, you wanna hurt my sister?" Steffi and Audrey walked up from behind Wanie.
"Hmm, the sisters are here. Let me say this once and for all. Stay away from the boys." Minah faked a smile.
"Why should we?" Audrey walked forward.
"Cause they are mine."
"Oh really? You wanna know something? They can't be yours, because they are all dating us. You are too late, bitch" Audrey laughed.
"And let me tell you, we are more than meets the eye, so don't offend us, cause that would be the last thing you'll do." Steffi said calmly.
"Heyyyyy sistaaars!" Rachel ran up to them. "OH MY GAH, EWW WHO IS THIS?" Rachel cringed at the sight of Minah.
"School resident bitch." Wanie nodded.
"Right. And why are we talking to her again? She isn't even that important a person for us to talk to." Rachel laughed and pulled her sisters away, leaving Minah clenching her fist in anger.
"So what was up with that girl?" Rachel asked Wanie.
"Well, Alexander asked me out to Lotte World with him tomorrow, she heard, she threatened me blah blah blah." Wanie said lazily.
"She threatened you?!" Rachel's eyes widen.
"Who is threatening who?" Kibum appeared out of nowhere and hug Rachel.
"Why is everyone popping out of nowhere?!" Wanie whined.
"I don't know.... Maybe because it's cool. Yeah, it's cool!" Steffi answered.
"Steffi .." Wanie rolled her eyes.
"Okay, stop being lame, okay, okay."

"You girls haven't answered my question, who is threatening who?" Kibum asked again.
"Minah was threatening Wanie." Rachel mumbled.
"She doesn't know who she is messing with huh." Kibum laughed in amusement.
"I think so, pfft!" Rachel snorted.
"Wait, why was she threatening Wanie in the first place? What did you do?" Kibum raised his eyebrows.
"Well, she overheard my conversation with Alexander, he asked me out to Lotte World with him tomorrow. And also, she told us to stay away from you guys." Wanie gave a bitter laugh.
"She is weird. Ah wells." Kibum laughed and walked away with Rachel.

---

"Ding Dong!" The door bell rang.
Maggie fell off the sofa in shock.
"oww, damn it, who is it so early in the morning?" Maggie grumbled. She had fallen asleep on the sofa halfway through a movie marathon with Siwon.
She dragged herself to the door.
"Oh, good morning Xan." Maggie yawned in his face.
He waved the bad stench away. "Where's Wanie?" He asked politely.
"How would I know, you woke me up." Maggie ruffled her hair.
"I'm suppose to pick her up now." Alexander mumbled.
"Ah, you wait, I'll go call her, meanwhile, have a seat with Siwon." Maggie gestured to the sofa, where Siwon was starting to wake up.
"Hey hyungs." Kibum called from the stairs.
"Why are you topless?!" Siwon gasped.
"Have you and Rachel... you know..." Alexander stood up.
"No! Sick minded people, no! Nothing of that kind! I just sleep shirtless, ask HyungJun hyung if you don't believe." Kibum defended himself.
"Good morning boys!" Rachel skipped downstairs and pecked Kibum on the cheek.
"Morning, how are you so hyper in the morning?" Siwon asked, while rubbing his eyes.
"I don't know, I guess it's me. Wait till Emi wakes up, we make double trouble in the morning." Rachel laughed.
"Anyways, Wanie is almost done, give her 5 more minutes." Rachel informed Alexander.
"Rights."
"I am done!" Wanie came down the stairs with Maggie dragging her feet behind her.
"Go, get lost, have fun, come back late." Maggie waved and pushed Wanie and Alexander out.
"I'm going back to bed." Maggie pulled Siwon and went into her room.

"I still don't understand why Kibum must live with you girls, just because he and Rachel are dating." Alexander scratched his head and questioned Wanie.
"Hmm. Uh. I don't understand why either, Emi has been complaining ever since, cause now she has to share a room with Maggie, who has Siwon over almost every night." Wanie laughed in memory of the little argument Emi and Maggie got into.
"Poor HyungJun, he has to stay alone at home." Alexander smiled.
"There are actually some things that you need to know, just not now." Wanie said nervously.
"What kind of things?" Alexander stopped walking.
"These kinds of things are better left for Rachel to blurt out." Wanie laughed.
".... I will ask her tonight." Alexander said.

---

"Rachel, do me a favor, do blurt out that we are vampires in front of Alexander. I don't want to continue cheating his feelings." Wanie called up Rachel.
"what kind of favor is that, I don't always blurt out our secrets!" Rachel whined.
"You sure?!" Wanie heard Ayu yelling in the background.
"Okay, maybe I do, but you want me to intentionally blurt out.." Rachel wondered out loud.
"Yes, honey, yes intentionally blurt it out." Wanie coaxed.
"But honey, that isn't blurting out anymore, nevermind, I know what to do!" Rachel whooped.
"Hmmm. Okays, tonight alrights?"
"Sureeee!"

"I can finally say that we are vampires, without being scolded for it, cause Wanie wants me to intentionally blurt it out." Rachel grinned at Ayu, who facepalmed herself.
"And how do you feel about that?" Kibum piped up from the sofa.
"Excellent, very good, whoohoo!" Rachel laughed and everyone shook their heads.

---

"so, Rachel, Wanie says you have something to tell me?" Alexander pulled Rachel outside their house after he sent Wanie home after a crazy day at Lotte World.
"I do?" Rachel looked confused. "OH!"
"What what?" Alexander asked, curious.
"We are not what we seem to be." Rachel simply said.
"Huh? That's all?" Alexander whined.
"Think about it, and what I've said before." Rachel said and walked away.
Things were whizzing around Alexander's mind like whirlwind. And it finally dawned on him.

"You girls are.. VAMPIRES. Aren't you?" Alexander said slowly and Rachel froze.
"Maybe I'll let Wanie explain the next portion shall I." She grinned and ran back into the house.
A few moments later, Wanie came out, walking slowly.

"Vampires. You are a vampire." Alexander said.
"Yes, I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, I didn't know how to, and since Rachel is the best at these things, I let her do it." Wanie explained.
"Vampire."
"Um yes."
"Who else knows about this?" Alexander asked.
"Kibum. Kevin, Siwon and HyungJun" Wanie answered, looking at the full moon.
"Eli? Changmin?" They don't know about this?"
"Not yet, but Emi is planning on telling Eli soon. Since they are dating." Wanie sighed.
"Is that why Kibum is staying here?"
"Partly. He is also a vampire. He begged Rachel to change him."
"My friend is a vampire...." Alexander started. "MY GOD, COOL, WHY DIDN'T HE TELL ME ANYTHING. EXCUSE ME WHILE I KILL HIM." Alexander walked back into the house.
"KIBUM!" Alexander yelled.
"Sup bro." Kibum stuck his head out of Rachel's room.
"You didnt tell me you were a vampire. How could you!"
"You never asked..." Kibum stuck out his tongue.
"What the ... " Alexander started. "Could you change me to a vampire as well?!" He turned to Wanie.
"WOAH WOAH WOAH, YOU WANNA BE A VAMPIRE TOO?!" Ayu exclaimed.
"Yes."
"It's highly dangerous. You might get killed, not the mention the torturous process of becoming a vampire." Audrey said calmly.
"I know."
"And yet?...." Wanie said.
"IT'S COOL!" Alexander said childishly and everyone else groaned.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Rachel." Rupert called out into the dark.
She kept quiet under her blanket.
"Rachel. If you don't respond to me now. I will ...."
"OHYEAH, YOU WILL WHAT?" Rachel sat up in bed.
"Give you a hug." Rupert grinned and hug her.

"Go away. You actually forgot my birthday. You don't deserve me." Rachel pushed him away and pouted.
"I was busy with filming. You know I won't ever forget your birthday. I even got your present here with me." Rupert smiled and took out a box from his haversack.
"What is it?" Rachel peered curiously, forgetting her anger.
"Open up and see. I bet you will love it!"
Rachel raised her eyebrows and started to rip the packaging to reveal... a Gucci wallet.
"OMG YOU BOUGHT THIS?! JESUS CHRIST." Rachel squealed.
"See, I told you will love it!" Rupert laughed at his girlfriend's childish actions.
Rachel smiled sheepishly and tackled Rupert in a hug, causing them to fall back on the bed.

"What did I ever do in my past life to deserve such a guy like you." Rachel leaned her forehead on Rupert's.
"This is the question I should ask." Rupert smiled and kissed Rachel.

---

Rachel's phone rang, and she woke up with a start. She fell asleep on her homework.. AGAIN.
"Erh.. Hello?" Rachel tried to sound awake, worried it was her dad calling.
"Is this Rachel Lim?" The person on the line asked.
"Yes, speaking."
"Hi, we're calling from Warner Brothers."
"Yes.." Rachel answered slowly, heart beating fast.
"You've won the lucky draw! You are attending the movie premier and after party on 18th november!"
"FOR REAL?!" Rachel stood up and yelled into the phone.
"Yes. For real. Leave me your email address, I will email you the details." The person on the line laughed.

"yeeeeellloooowww." Emi answered her phone sleepily.
"Hi ems, guess who is going to Harry Potter movie premier and after party?!" Rachel laughed.
"Rachh.. I don't really care. I'm sleeping, you can tell me tomorrow." Emi grumbled.
"You fell asleep on your homework too right?"
"Yeah, how did you know?" Emi shook her head.
"We are too alike for own good. Is maggs at your place?" Rachel chirped.
"Yes, and apparently she fell asleep on her laptop. What is wrong with us?!" Emi groaned.
"We are triplets. End of story. I'm gonna go over to your house now. Wait for me!" Rachel said and hung out.
"No shit. Once Rachh comes over, we don't have to sleep anymore." Emi mumbled.
"What's that you saying?" Maggie said inaudibly.
"Nothing, go back to sleep." Emi waved her hand. "Before Rachh gets here."

"SHEEEEZZ. I AM SO EXCITED. I CAN FINALLY MEET RUPERT GRINT AND TOM FELTON. OMG THERE'S SO MANY THINGS I WANNA TELL HIM!" Rachel skipped into the airport with Emi and Maggie walking alongside with her.
"There is something I wanna tell them too." Maggie said.
"Really? What's that?" Rachel asked, titling her head to the side.
"Hi Tom, would you mind shutting my friend up?" Maggie laughed while Emi roared with laughter.
"shut up." Rachel pouted.
"Oh, it's time to board the plane!" Emi checked her watch and pushed Rachel towards the departure area.
"Enjoy yourself there, take loads of photo, and say hi to Rupert Grint for me!" Emi gave Rachel a quick hug.
"Just don't embarrass yourself. Please." Maggie laughed and hug Rachel.
"Why do you always say the meanest things to me?!" Rachel mock cry.
"You know I love you."
"Yeah yeah, whatever." Rachel stuck out her tongue.
"Go on, have fun! Call us when you get there!" Emi waved goodbye.

Rachel boarded the plane, settled herself in and started thinking of the possible scenarios.
She has been in love with Rupert Grint and Tom Felton since the Harry Potter series started.
And of cause, she likes Emma Watson and Bonnie Wright as well. They are her girl crushes.
Before she know it, she floated of to dreamland.
A jerk woke her up, and she realised she has already landed.
"Gosh, I'M HERE ALREADY!" She thought to herself and smiled.
She rushed out of the airport as fast as she could and grab a cab to her hotel. She has to dress up and etc before she goes to the movie premier.

"Ohmygod, RACHEL!" Rachel turned around.
"ADELINE?!" Rachel squealed. Adeline was her childhood from Singapore.
"YOU WON THE LUCKY DRAW TOO?!" Adeline came up and hug Rachel.
"Yes, YOU TOO?!" Rachel laughed.
"Hell yeah. We haven't talked since forever! So glad to see you! I thought I was gonna be a loner in this foreign land." Adeline pouted.
"It's foreign to me too ya know." Rachel laughed.
"True. You going for the after party too right? Say yes."
"Yes."
Adeline started jumping in her heels causing everyone around to look at her.
"Gosh, Adeline." Rachel smiled.
"I'M SO EXCITED. I CAN'T HELP IT OHMYGOD."

---

"Yooooo Adeline, look, Dan is standing there alone, GO TALK TO HIM!" Rachel nudged Adeline towards her crush.
"Wish me luck." Adeline smirked.
"Goodluck, love!" Rachel gave a thumbs up. Now she was standing there alone.
"Hey."
"Hey." Rachel looked up at the person who talked to her. Tom Felton.
"OHMYGOD." Rachel's jaw dropped.
"Are you okay?" Tom asked, amused.
"Yeah, I'm just... overwhelmed.." Rachel mumbled.
"Don't be, I'm just human too." Tom laughed.
"Okay, I will try not to be than." Rachel laughed too.
"Your friend?" Tom jerked his thumb towards Adeline who was openly flirting with Dan.
"Childhood best friend." Rachel smiled.
"She's cute. And hyper." Tom gave an approving nod.
"Yeah, she's really cute. Like her?" Rachel joked.
"Maybe.. Ahh, let me introduce.. Rupert, this is Rachel. Rachel, this is Rupert. I bet you already know." Tom pulled Rupert from the crowd.
"Hi." Rupert gave a shy smile and Rachel could feel herself melting into a puddle of goo.
"I'll leave you two to talk. I'll just find Emma and the rest to introduce them to you." Tom bowed politely to Rachel and left.
"Sweet guy, Tom is." Rupert grinned.
"Ye...ahh. He is.." Rachel said shyly.
"Are you okay?" Rupert asked.
"HA HA, this is the umpteen time I've been asked that question and this will be the umpteen time I answered this; 'I'm just overwhelmed.'"
"Seriously, don't be." Rupert laughed.
"Trying not to.." Rachel grinned. "But it's hard since I have had a crush on you all my life." She added and clamped her hand to her mouth immediately.
"Seriously? That is so cute. Don't clamp your mouth like that." Rupert laughed and pulled Rachel's hands off.
Rachel turned tomato red, making Rupert laugh again.
"You're cute."
"Uhh. Thanks." Rachel looked down.
"Sit with me in the movie?" He asked.
"We are allowed to?!" Rachel looked up in shock.
"Well yes, if we request." Rupert shrugged.
"Can I request for my friend to sit beside Dan as well?!" Rachel pointed to Adeline, who seems to be hitting off with Dan very well.
"Sure!"

---

"Have I mention how much I love you for setting me up with Dan?" Adeline whispered as they were on their way to the after party.
"NO, not really. HAHA." Rachel laughed.
"He even asked for my number. Gosh. THIS IS REAL. PINCH ME. I AM NOT DREAMING." Adeline hyperventilated.
"I'm not gonna pinch you, that is unglam, gurrrl. This IS real. I talked to Rupert Grint and Tom Felton. You will never believe how sweet Tom and Rupert is!" Rachel squealed.
"Unglam... Right.. ARE WE GETTING THE MAN OF OUR DREAMS?!" Adeline grasped Rachel's hand.
"Maybe.." Rachel laughed.

What happened at the after party was a blur. But somehow Rachel and Rupert exchanged numbers. She and Tom talked like old friends. And she got to meet Emma Watson and Bonnie Wrights!

The next morning, she got awaken by a phone call. Thinking it was Rupert, she bounce out of the hotel bed, and answered the phone.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!"
Maggie.
"Ohmygod. YOU GIRLS." Rachel grumbled.
"What?! Aren't you happy to hear my voice?" Maggie said.
"Not that, but I thought it was someone else."
"Who? Rupert Grint?" Maggie joked.
"Yes, I thought it would be him." Rachel mumbled.
"SERIOUSLY?! YOU TWO EXCHANGED CONTACTS?!"
"Yeah, we hit it off very well. Gosh. I CAN'T EVEN ... OHMYGOD. So much to tell you and Ems when I get back!"
"We are prepared for it!" Maggie laughed.
"I gotta go, someone's at the door. Gosh, early in the morning too! Bye! Love you! Tell Ems I love her!" Rachel yelled into the phone and hung up.

Rachel opened the door slowly. Standing there was someone she would never expect to be there. Rupert Grint.
"Hey. Did I wake you up?" He said slowly, looking at her attire.
"No, you didn't. I was on the phone actually." Rachel smiled.
"Ah okay."
"What are you doing here so early in the morning?"
"Wanted to ask you out. Bring you around, since I don't have schedule today."
"Really? I don't mind. Just give me half an hour. Come in." Rachel opened the door wider for him to walk in.
"I won't be long!" Rachel said and disappeared into the bathroom.

Rupert wondered around her room and finally sat down on her bed.
"Hmm, the bed she slept on." Rupert thought.
He shook all thoughts out of his head and let his eyes travel round the hotel room.
"How am I gonna confess?" Rupert groaned out loud.
"sorry, what was that?" Rachel came out of the bathroom, hair dripping wet.
"Nothing.. Sorry, I'll just wait outside." Rupert got up from the bed.
"Nahs, it's okay. I'm almost done. Just need to dry my hair." Rachel smiled. All signs of nervousness gone.

They had a great day out. It was almost as if it was a date. Minus skinship of cause.
"Thanks for showing me around. I had a great time. But sadly, I'm leaving tomorrow." Rachel sighed.
"You're leaving tomorrow?!" Rupert almost yelled.
"Yeah. I still have school you know." Rachel shook her head.
"I don't want you to leave. I know this is selfish. But I don't want you to go back. I want you to stay here, with me." Rupert blurted out.
"Huh what?" Rachel gasped.
"I like you. I want you to be mine. I don't want you to leave me. Stay." Rupert held Rachel's hand.
"Was that suppose to be a confession?" Rachel raised her eyebrow.
"Hmm yes," Rupert nodded.
"I like you too, as much as I like to stay, I can't. Let me go back for 2 weeks, and I'll come back here alrights? Or you can always follow me back!"
"Following you back sounds like an intriguing idea." Rupert laughed and hug Rachel.
"Really?" Rachel laughed.
"Yupp. And publicise to the world that you are mine, and that no other guys can look at you."
"Possessive much?" Rachel pulled away.
"For you, yes. I love you."
"I love you too. Since... forever."

Rachel and Kibum walked home in silence, she, walking slightly ahead of him.
The moment they reached home, she went into her room without saying good night to Kibum.
Ayu walked out of the kitchen, surprised that Rachel didn't create a ruckus when she reached home.
"What's wrong with her?" Ayu asked.
"We met a Vampire Hunter." Kibum said.
"WHAT!? Is she okay?!" Ayu asked.
"Physically yes, but I think she's quite shaken." Kibum shook his head.
"For her to be this quiet and anti-social, yes, it must have be shocking for her." Ayu sighed.
"Wait .... Vampire Hunter .. than how did you two survived, did you ..." Ayu looked at Kibum seriously.
"The princes."
"They came?"
"All 7 of them, and they killed the Vampire Hunter." Kibum mumbled.
"You were not the one that killed the vampire hunter?!"
"Yes, I couldn't do anything. And Rachel just kept on taunting him." Kibum sighed loudly.
"That is so expected of her. I shall go talk to her." Ayu patted Kibum's shoulder before heading towards Emi and Rachel's room.

"Rachh....?" Ayu opened the door slowly.
"Ayuuuu~!" Rachel hugged Ayu as soon as she walked into the room.
"What's wrong?" Ayu stroked Rachel's hair like a protective mother.
"It was so ... Kibum doesn't know how to control his powers yet, I don't even think he has gotten all of it, it was so dangerous, he could have gotten killed if the princes didn't show up. I cannot lose him, Ayu, I can't" Rachel cried.
"You're worrying about him, and not yourself?! You could have gotten killed as well!" Ayu reprimanded Rachel.
"In terms of strength, I'm definitely stronger than Kibum, I could have protected myself, but you know I can't protect other people, I'm not THAT strong." Rachel flopped down on Emi's bed.
"He will be stronger than you, and you know it" Ayu sat down beside her and Rachel just kept quiet.
"You know how I always wished Jungmin would come back?" Rachel said after a moment of silence.
"Yes"
"Now, I'm pushing him away because I found someone new. Am I bad?" Rachel asked.
"Well, you see, he wasn't there for 200 years, you had 200 whole years to move on, and you did, it just happened when they found us. You're not bad." Ayu said slowly.

Kibum eavesdropped from the kitchen. Had they forget that Kibum had that power?
He shook his head and left the house quietly.
"Kev, you home? I'm swinging by." Kibum called Kevin.
"Yeah, I'm home, come over." Kevin said.

---

Kibum reached Kevin's house 20 minutes later.
"Are you gonna call the others to come?" Kibum looked at Kevin who had a pile of books infront of him.
"NOpes, Eli is with Emi. Xander is out somewhere. Besides I need to study for this upcoming test." Kevin said, without looking up from the books.
"Since when do you even cared about your studies...." Kibum lied on the sofa.
"Cause .... " Kevin started than stop. "Have you and Rachel got together yet?" Kevin finally looked up from his books.
"Well, yes." Kibum answered.
"So ... you see ... Ayu said she will give me a chance if I improve in my studies.." Kevin said.
"WOAH. LIKE SERIOUSLY?!"
"Yeah. I need to buck up. My chemistry sucks like hell." Kevin groaned.
"I thank heavens, Rachel doesn't give a shit about studies." Kibum laughed.
"Yeah. Why are you staying at her house anyways?" Kevin looked at Kibum. "Have you guys ........ " Kevin widen his eyes.
"NO! Whatever you are thinking. No." Kibum protested.
"Okayokay..."
"Kev... I have something to tell you. But I don't know if you will believe me..." Kibum sat up and stared into blank air.
"You're gonna tell me you're a vampire?" Kevin said.
"HUH?! How did you know?" Kibum widen his eyes.
"I was there remember? That day that vampire prince came to wreck havoc."
"Ohyeah.... Does Xander, Eli, Changmin and Siwon know?"
"I think Siwon does, but the other 3 are still clueless. HAHA." Kevin laughed.
"My brother?" Kibum asked.
"I have no idea, ask Audrey or Rachel." Kevin went back to his books.
"I will call Rachh than~" Kibum said, pulling out his phone.

"Hello!" Rachel answered cheerfully.
"Wow, why so cheerful?" Kibum asked, smiling.
"I have no idea. Where did you go anyways!" Rachel half laughed half yelled at the phone.
"At Kevin's now." Kibum laughed back.
"Okay! Why did you call? Miss me?" Rachel giggled.
"Yeah, but no, that wasn't the reason I called, I called to ask if HyungJun knows about Audrey being a vampire?"
"Eh... She did say she will tell him soon, but I don't think she can, so she wants you to tell him? Yeah.." Rachel said slowly.
"What?! Why me?! Just because I'm his twin brother ... I ..." Kibum said and Kevin started laughing.
"Yeah, just because you're his twin brother."
"Yeah, thanks..."
"Wanna meet me now?" Rachel asked.
"Where?"
"Outside Kevin's house. Now."
Kibum opened the front door.
"Baby!" Rachel squealed as she ran to hug Kibum. Kevin faked a cough from the living room.
"Hi Kevin!" Rachel self invited herself into Kevin's house.
"Hmm. Hi."

---

"So what now?" Eli asked Emi.
"What?" Emi widen her eyes.
"Are we together?"
"What makes you think so?" Emi asked.
"We're holding hands, and we're on a date?" Eli raised his eyebrows.
"Platonic friends can hold hands too. And I didnt say this was a date." Emi huffed.
"Fine. What if I did this?" Eli pulled Emi close and kiss her squarely on the lips.
"I... I don't know." Emi pushed Eli away and turned away, cheeks flushing red.
"I saw that ~" Maggie and Siwon came out from the corner.
"What ... Stalker!" Emi pointed at Maggie and pouted.
"No I didn't stalk you. I was about to cross the corner than I saw. HAHAHAHA. I'm telling Rachel!" Maggie walked away with Siwon, laughing.
"Don't tell her! She will tease me forever!" Emi yelled.
"But you tease her forever as well." Eli looked amuse.
"Shut up! It's all your fault!" Emi walked away.

"You'll never guess what I saw!" Maggie called Rachel.
"What.."
"MAGGIE, I SWEAR IF YOU TELL RACHEL, I WILL KILL YOU." Emi yelled from behind.
"I call you back." Maggie told Rachel and hung up.
"c'mon, what's so bad about telling her?" Maggie pouted.
"She's gonna tease me forever." Emi said.
"Like you don't." Maggie laughed.
"Why is everyone telling me that?!" Emi shook her head.
"Because it's true."
"Yada Tada."

Internal Beauty Chapter 7

2010-11-08T00:50:00.001+08:00

"Hey, is there a party in our room that we don't know about?" Rachel and Emi laughed as they walked into their room to see their sisters in there.
"Nahh, just chilling." Maggie answered."
"Chips are here!" Wanie and Steffi came into the room.
"Maggs? Just curious, how did you and Siwon got together?" Audrey asked.
"Well, there was one time when I tripped over him blah blah blah, than he asked my number, we talked, he confessed amd I gave him a chance."
"What about Taemin?" Rachel asked.
"It has been 200 years, let it go already."
"What about you, Audrey~" Wanie asked.
"He was walking me home, he saved me from a drunk cyclist, we sorta hug in that awkward position, he confessed, and as you girls know, I like him, so I ... accepted him."
"Oh, and so everyone decided to forget and give up the princes just when they found us." Rachel mumbled.
"You too..." Steffi said.
"Why are you girls talking about relationships?" Kibum said, appearing at the door.
"How even ... we didn't even talk that loud." Emi widen her eyes.
"His powers ... must be to eavsdrop." Rachel said.
"I'm not even eavsdropping, I could hear you girls when I was at the door, and I can even hear your neighbours talking right now." Kibum said.
"You have the power to hear things from afar I guess." Ayu said.
"... I don't see how ability to hear things from afar will save us tho." Maggie commented.
"Hmm. We shall see." Ayu said slowly.
"Why don't you leave us alone, and you go meet the other guys huh?" Rachel said.
"Fine .. Do tell them okay?" Kibum smirked.
"Tell us what?" Wanie eyed Rachel suspiciously.
"Just go." Rachel pointed the way out and Kibum smiled.
"Okay, bye!" Kibum left.
"Tell us what?" Wanie repeated.
"Me and Kibum are dating okay?" Rachel blurted out.
"I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT!" Emi started jumping around.
"How?" Steffi asked.
"Good question, HAHA." Rachel laughed.
"How can you not know how you guys got together?!" Maggie retorted.
"I have poor memory okay!" Rachel sticked out her tongue at Maggie.

---

"Let's go out today." Kibum nuzzled Rachel's neck while she surfed the web.
"Where to?" Rachel continued looking at the screen, clearly uninterestd.
"Lunch ~" Kibum gave up trying to attract her attention.
"FOOD?! OKAY!" Rachel shut her laptop and pushed Kibum out of her room. "Get out, I need to change."
"Why can't I-" Kibum said but Rachel shut the door in his face. "Rude."
"What just happened?" Emi said, as she came up the stairs.
"She chased me out of the room so she could change." Kibum grumbled.
"Isn't that the right thing to do? Unless.... OH!" Emi gasped.
"No, nothing of that sort.." Kibum said. "...yet" He added under his breath.
"What's that?" Emi hummed.
"Nothing."
"Why is she changing anyways?" Emi sat down beside the door.
"We're going out for lunch." Kibum explained.
"Oh.. and you didn't call us.." Emi said.
"It's a date." Kibum said.
"RIGHT! I'm so bored today..." Emi sighed.
"Call Eli out than." Kibum suggested as he sat down beside her.
"Why him?"
"He's interested in you." Kibum said simply.
"He is?!" Emi asked, in shock.
"Yes, and I can tell so are you."
"Am what? Interested in me. Of cause I'm interested in myself." Emi joked.
"That wasn't amusing, just so you know." Kibum said coldly.
"Fine. Hmpfh." Emi huffed.
"I'm ready!" Rachel opened the door and stared at the 2 sitting outside.
"Let's go~" Kibum stood up and dusted his jacket.
"Bye. Thanks for leaving me alone at home." Emi pouted and Rachel laughed.
"Go call Eli or something." Rachel teased.
"Shut up and go!" Emi pouted again.
"Shall we set Emi and Eli up?" Kibum asked Rachel as he took her hand.
"I CAN HEAR YOU !" Emi yelled from the top of the stairs.
"Go get a life." Rachel yelled back, laughing.
"Shall we shall we shall we?!" Kibum asked with puppy eyes as they walked towards the restaurant.
"Yesyesyes~!" Rachel laughed.
"okay. Than we shall .." Kibum whispered in Rachel's ear.

---

"Ems, are you free?" Rachel called Emi on her cellphone.
"Yes, since you abandon me..." Emi said.
"Well, Kibum abandoned me too, he had an emergency to go to.." Rachel said.
"Want me to have lunch with you?" Emi asked.
"Yes please. I'm at that restaurant down the road." Rachel said.
"Okay, be right there hun." Emi said and hung up.

"Yo dude. Free now?" Kibum called Eli.
"Hmm yes. Why?" Eli asked.
"Have lunch with me." Kibum said.
"Why?"
"No whys, I just missed you." Kibum said.
"Gay. Fine. Where are you?" Eli laughed.
Kibum gave details on how to get to the restuarant and hung up.

Rachel looked at Kibum.
"Mission part 1 done, shall we leave?" Kibum smiled.
"Yes. Let's go somewhere else to eat." Rachel grinned as she hugged Kibum's arm.

"Where are you? I got here as fast as I could, and you are nowhere to be seen. What is this?!" Emi yelled into the phone.
"Sorry... I remembered I had an errand to run, so I left the restuarant, just wait there, I'm coming back soon!" Rachel reasoned.
"Fine. Get here fast." Emi said, annoyed.
"Emi...?" Emi heard someone called her.
"Eli?!" Emi said in shock.
"What are you doing here?" Eli asked as he took a seat across her.
"Rachh told me to come join her, but she's not here...." Emi said.
"Really? Kibum told me to come here for lunch with him... and he's nowhere to be seen..." Eli said slowly.
"That... two ... " Emi gritted her teeth.
"Well, since both of us are here, let's just have lunch together alrights?" Eli asked.
Emi smiled. "Okay."

"Emi texted me haha." Rachel laughed as she read the text she received.
"I wanted to kill you, but now it's okay. Thanks for setting me up with Eli! xoxo" Rachel read out the text.
"We did a good job." Kibum said.
"YES WE DID. Now .. Wanie, Steffi and Ayu!" Rachel laughed.
"I don't think Ayu needs help, the amount of chemistry she has with Kevin is more than all our chemistry textbooks put together!" Kibum joked.
"That's true. It's only a matter of time.. or it has already happened!"
"Yes, now .. let's plan - WOAH!" Kibum pulled Rachel closer to him.

"What are you?!" Rachel stared in disgust at the guy infront of them.
He was wearing black robes with thick eye make up, carrying a small pouch.
"Seriously, halloween isn't for another 4 months, you're way too early.." Rachel laughed.
"Baby.. I don't think he is here for halloween..." Kibum whispered in Rachel's ear.
"Than ... Vampire hunter...?" Rachel gasped and Kibum nodded.
"I can hear his thoughts." Kibum said.
"Hey mister, sorry about that halloween thing. Cool outfit. Like it very much. We'll just be going now." Rachel said sheepishly.
"You're not going anywhere." The dude said.
"HEY! You don't own this alley ya know!" Rachel said.
"I'm sure he doesn't. Are you looking for us?" Someone said and they all turned to look at the person.
"... Jungmin?!" Kibum hissed.
"What you hissing at, I'm here to help." Jungmin said to Kibum.
"Man ... " Rachel sighed.
"We have 8 vampires here and 1 of you, do you think you will survive?" Kyujong asked the Vampire Hunter.
"You're here to kill us, but we'll end up killing you instead." Heechul smirked.
"Rachh, cover your eyes." Mika said as he sprinted past her.
Rachel buried her face in Kibum's neck as they heard a bone chilling scream. Kibum's arms instinctively wrapped his arms around her tightly.

"I don't really like this scene." Jungmin snarled.
"There wasn't much of a choice, hyung." Taemin said.
"Jungmin, there is something you need to know, I'm dating Kibum now. Give up on me please." Rachel looked at the floor.
"You're dating a mere human?! You deserve more than that!" Jungmin yelled.
"He isn't just a MERE HUMAN, I changed him! He's a vampire now! And he has more powers than me and my sisters combined!" Rachel yelled back.
"More.. powers?!" Cheondoong widen his eyes in shock.
"Yes.. He can read minds, he can hear things from afar and I don't know what else he has. But BoA Unnie told me he will be the one saving me and my sisters." Rachel sighed.
"I can save you too.." Jungmin reached out.
"Forget it, just move on okay?" Rachel said and pulled Kibum away from the alley.

"Hey!" Hyungjun called out.
"Hyungjun?" Audrey said cautiously.
"Yup! You know my name!" Hyungjun laughed.
"Well yeah.." Audrey laughed along. "How can I not know your name when I like you." She mumbled under her breath.
"Sorry. What?" Hyungjun asked.
"Huh? Oh. Nothing.." Audrey smiled.
"Okay~ Want me to walk you home?" Hyungjun grinned.
"Suppose to be waiting for my sisters..." Audrey started.
"They left school already. Emi, Steffi and Wanie have a coffee date with Eli, Changmin and Xander."
"Ayu and Maggie?" Audrey asked, surprised her sisters would go out with those guys.
"Ayu is in study hall with Kevin, revising for chemistry. In the books or real life I don't know. And I don't know about Maggie." Hyungjun rubbed the back of his head.
"I think Maggie and Siwon is dating. I seriously think so." Audrey shook her head. "And okay, you can walk me home. I think your brother is there."
"Kibum? At your house? Why?" Hyungjun askd.
"He ... and Rachel.. are sort of dating.."
"Rascal, didn't tell me anything." Hyungjun muttered.

---

"So... Kibum ... He has been staying at your house for a month?" Hyungjun asked.
"Yeah. Sort of?"
"He never told me where he was at all." Hyungjun said, clearly upset.
"He wants to -"
"WATCH OUT!" Hyungjun shouted and pulled Audrey closer to his body as a bicycle zoomed past the spot Audrey was standing.
Time seemed to have froze for them both.
"Audrey..."
"Erm yes?"
"I have a confession to make.."

---

"Should we tell your sisters that we are dating?" Siwon asked.
"Not now. Till Rachel announce that she is with Kibum." Maggie answered.
"YOU TWO ARE DATING?!" Ayu popped out from nowhere.
"If I could have a heart attack, I would have." Maggie yelled, clutching her chest.
"Sorry.. But ... dating?!" Ayu asked.
"Yeah. But don't tell the others!" Maggie said.
"...Fine.."
"THANKYOU!" Maggie squeezed Ayu in a hug.

---

Audrey walked in Rachel's room with a huge grin and Rachel looked up from her laptop.
"What's up with you?" Rachel raised her eyebrows.
"Ahh~" Audrey flopped down on Emi's bed, smiling.
Rachel rolled her eyes and hovered above Audrey. "What?"
"I'm dating Hyungjun now~" Audrey giggled.
".. Whut?! What about Kyujong? You know if you date Hyungjun, Kyujong will never let him off." Rachel nagged.
"I haven't thought of that..." Audrey sat up, knocking Rachel on her nose.
"I haven't told you what Jungmin did a month ago right?" Rachel sighed.
"I don't think so..."
"Jungmin said he won't let me go easily when Ayu told him that Kibum is my boyfriend. And that vow applies to all 7 of them." Rachel said listlessly.
"But what can we do?" Audrey sighed.
"Hide. Protect them. Train our powers."
"Yeah.. talking about Kibum.. I told Hyungjun that you and Kibum were dating."
"You what?!" Rachel stood up.
"You like him, face it." Audrey grinned.
"I ... No... Wait ... I don't know.."
"See... HAHAHA. The brothers are downstairs talking now. When are you gonna change him?" Audrey asked.
"I have no idea."
"Now you know Jungmin knows about Kibum, it's not safe for him to be human." Audrey warned.
"True.. Are you gonna tell Hyungjun?"
"Yeah. but not now, or maybe I'll let Kibum tell him."
Rachel nodded. "Let's go join them downstairs."

---

"Let us walk you girls home." Eli suggested, Xander and Changmin nodded.
Wanie's phone rang and the 6 of them stopped walking.
"Yes Ayu?"
"You say what?!" Wanie shrieked into the phone.
Steffi glance at Emi who shrugged her shoulders.
"You see anything?" Emi mouthed the words at Steffi who shook her head in reply.
"Sorry guys, family emergency. See you tomorrow." Wanie said hurriedly and grab Emi and Steffi.
"What?" Emi panted.
"Royal pain in the ass at our house." Wanie said.
"Royal pain in the ass...?" Steffi wondered out loud.
"THe 7 princes!!"
"Oh my god!! Let's hurry!" Emi gasped and ran faster.

"We're here. What do you 7 want?" Wanie glared at Heechul first than the other 6 boys.
"We're here to warn you." Mika said calmly.
"Warn us? ABout what? The human bo-" Rachel started.
"No Rachh, not the human boys, the vampire hunters." Jungmin gritted his teeth.
"Hunters? Why on earth? So sudden? What?!" Audrey yelled.
"We'll be here to protect you girls." Kyujong said.
"Pfft! Protect?!" Maggie snorted.
"We don't need your protection." Emi faked a smile.
"We can protect ourselves." Ayu snapped.
"oh God! My dream!" Rachel grabbed the shoulder of the person closest to her, which happens to be Jungmin.
"What dream?" Jungmin held onto her hands.
"BoA came to my dreams and told me Kibum will be the one to save me if he's a vampire.. or something along that line." Rachel said as she shook Jungmin's hands away.
"Kibum...." Jungmin muttered.
"Oh and you didn't say anything..." Steffi rolled her eyes.
"Rachel, can you sense them?" Cheondoong looked at Rachel.
"I haven't been able to sense anybody recently." Rachel shook her head.
"The effects of drinking human male blood" Ayu sighed.
"You drank Kibum's blood?!" Emi looked at Rachel.
"Once. But I was thirsty and he was willing." Rachel pouted.
"So what now?"
"You need to stay away from the human boys, if you want to protect them." Jungmin smirked
"But Kibum lives her permanently." Maggie said.
"I guess Rachh needs to change him soon." Emi smiled at Jungmin.
"MEANS I CAN'T SEE THE BOYS?!" Audrey whined.
"Why do you wanna see the boys?" Wanie eyed Audrey.
"And why do you look so guilty." Wanie said to Maggie.
Audrey looked at Rachel nervously and Maggie turned to Ayu.
"Just tell." Rachel mouthed the words to Audrey and Kyujong raised his eyebrows.
"Fine.." Audrey took a deep breath. "I'm dating Hyungjun."
Silence.
"Audrey?" Kyujong called. "Really?"
"Yes. Today." She answered without looking at him.
"Well than.. I'm dating Siwon as well." Maggie voiced out.
"Okaaay.. Anymore confessions?" Rachel said.
"Yours." Emi tugged Rachel's sleeves.
"Not yet.. okay.." Rachel said and Jungmin smiled.
"But why not? You two spend every waking hour together." Steffi said and Jungmin's smile faded.
"I'm home! Woah~" Kibum walked in and stopped at the sight of 14 vampires standing in the hallway, and one looking murderous.
"Oh hi Kibum." Maggied waved cheerfully.
"Wrong timing to come home. I'll be in Rachel's room." Kibum said and ran off.
"That's Kibum?" Taemin asked Jungmin.
"Yes, and Ayu said he was Rachel's boyfriend." Jungmin sneered.
"Heyhey! Our focus here is the vampire hunters." Ayu said.
"Let's just discuss this in the kitchen." Emi said and walked off to the kitchen.

---

2 hours later, When Emi and Rachel walked into their room laughing, they came face to face with an anxious looking Kibum.
"Vampire hunters?!" Kibum yelled.
"Yea, and why are you yelling?!" Rachel said.
"I.. will be in Ayu and Audrey's room." Emi said and slipped out of the room.
"I'm worried for you!" Kibum hugged Rachel.
"You see why I don't want to change you to a vampire?" Rachel sighed.
"I don't really care." Kibum mumbled.
"Are you that serious on being a vampire?" Rachel pushed Kibum away and sat down on Emi's bed.
"Yes, you can change me now." Kibum pointed to his neck.
"You serious?"
"Extremely."
Rachel pinned Kibum against the wall and went close to his neck. Feeling her hot breath on his neck, he stiffen and Rachel giggle.d
"Ready?"
"Yup."
Rachel sank her teeth into Kibum's neck.

---

"She's changing him!" Emi said excitedly and Audrey clamped her hand over Emi's mouth.
"Shhhsss~~ She will hear us!!" Ayu said.

---

"Howya feeling, bummie?" Maggie grinned the next morning when Rachel and Kibum came downstairs for breakfast.
"A little weird.. but hell yeah!" Kibum laughed.
"We have a new vampire in the Evans family!" Wanie said.
"Wonder who will be his mentor.." Steffi had her spoon in her mouth and said.
"When will I get my powers?" Kibum asked.
"I don't know. Ask your mentor." Ayu answered.
"Right. And Rachh, our promise?" Kibum turned to Rachel who was taking pictures of Steffi looking cute.
"What.. What promise?" Rachel asked.
"Dating ..." Kibum smirked.
"CRAP! I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!!" Rachel groaned.

2010-11-08T00:47:00.000+08:00

"Ding Dong ~" Rachel jumped out of bed
Thinking it was her sisters, she skipped happily to the door, but she opened the door to reveal Kibum.
"How did you even find out where I stay?" Rachel gasped.
"I have my ways." Kibum smiled.
"So -"
"Rachhieee~" Rachel heard her sisters' voices.
They stopped behind Kibum
"Why is he here?" Ayu eyed Rachel.
"I don't know. I was taking a nap cause no one was home to entertain me, than he came." Rachel explained.
"Well, it's rude to keep your guest outside!" Emi pushed Kibum into the house and Rachel groaned.
"You and I. Need to talk later." Ayu hissed at Rachel.
"I didn't do anything!" Rachel protested.
"Leak out." Ayu glanced at her before she walked over to join the others.
Rachel sighed and join her sisters in the living room.

"So.. I heard you wanna be a vampire." Emi asked.
"So that Rachel will accept you." Maggie added.
"Not only that, I have always been intrigued with Vampires and how it feels to be one." Kibum answered.
"Question. As a human, you don't feel nervous about being around 7 vampires now?" Wanie asked.
"Yeah, and one is extremely fond of human blood." Steffi laughed, looking at a very grumpy Rachel standing in the shadow of the room.
"Are you prepared for the painful process? Are you prepared to distant yourself from your brother and your friends, at least till you can control yourself?" Ayu asked.
"Yeah. I'm prepared. That is why I'm here.
"You want to hear about the process?" Audrey asked.
"Yes, please."
Emi winked at Maggie who laughed.

"When her fangs sink into ur skin, you won't feel pain, just a cold tingly feeling. When the venom starts to spread through your body, you will feel like you're on fire. There's no way to stop it unless she kills you. As soon as her venom reaches your heart, the burning sensation will increase tenfold. And that will last about an hour." Ayu explained quickly before Emi or Maggie distorts the fact.
"Okay. I'm ready for it." Kibum smiled at the 6 vampires.
"You might need to tell your brother why you won't be around for awhile." Ayu said.
Kibum nodded and called his brother, giving the excuse that he's going out of town with Rachel.
"WHAT?! DOES THAT MEAN I NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM SCHOOL AS WELL?!" Rachel protested.
"Yes, both of you need to stay home." Ayu nodded.
"My life is a joke~" Rachel groaned.
"When are you gonna change him?" Emi asked.
"Tomorrow. when you 6 are in school." Rachel answered.
"Oh! Can I drink your blood before I change you?!" Rachel looked at Kibum hopefully.
"Huh.. Uh.. Okay." Kibum replied and Ayu facepalmed herself.
"Rachh, the consequence of drinking human male blood.." Audrey warned.
"It doesn't matter right? He's gonna be a vampire anyway." Rachel answered.
"Up to you. I'm going to bed. Nights." Ayu walked upstairs.

"Hey girls! Where is the PMS one." Xander joked.
"Hey! Don't call my sister the PMS one. She has a name, its Rachel and she's out of town with your friend!" Steffi said.
"Woah, seriously?! Are they dating now?" Siwon asked, curious.
"Soon is all I can say~" Emi commented.
"It might be happening now." Audrey informed Emi.

The girls took their seat and Emi plopped down at Rachel's seat.
"Hi, you're Emi right?" Eli turned to Emi and ask.
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"When you girls talk, the whole school hears." Eli joked.
"HA HA, Not funny at all."
"So. Do you wanna hang out some time?" Eli asked.
"Yeah, ask Wanie and Steffi along ~" Xander and Changmin cut in the conversation.

---

"Rachel? You awake?" KiBum cautiously open the door to the room that Emi and Rachel shared.
"What do you want?" Rachel groaned from under her blanket.
"I don't know. Feels weird." Kibum rubbed the back o his head.
"Weird like how?" Rachel finally emerge from under her blanket.
"Because this isn't my house~" KiBum turned to look at Rachel.
"How can you look so perfect even when you just wake up?" Kibum gasped.
"We're vampires, we don't have an unglam moment. Ever~" Rachel laughed.
"Wow. Tell me more about Vampire life." Kibum asked.

---

"Oh! I forgot my wallet, you girls go ahead, I'll head back to my locker to get it." Maggie said and started running to her locker.
"Crash!" Maggie tripped over something, or rather, someone and hit headfirst onto the wall.
"Oh my! Are you okay?!" The person she tripped over ran to over to Maggie who seem fine.
"Okay. Cept the fact I'm a little dizzy... Siwon?" Maggie looked up.
"So sorry. So so so so sorrry~" Siwon apologise profusely.
"It's okay." Maggie smiled and walked away.
"Wait! Can ... I have your number?" Siwon asked.
"Sure." Maggie laughed.

---

"You sure you want this?" Rachel stood infront of Kibum and asked again.
"Yes." Kibum answered confidently.
"a hundred percent?"
"Yes, but before you change me, can I ... kiss you?" Kibum grinned.
"What?! Why?!" Rachel gasped.
"To confirm." Kibum pulled Rachel closer and pressed his lips against hers.
"Now you can change me."Kibum smirked.
"Wait, what the hell was that for?" Rachel yelled.
Kibum just smile. "I will tell you after you change me."
Rachel rolled her eyes and sighed. "Okay. Here goes."
She placed her hands on either side of Kibum's shoulders and tiptoed, tilting her head.

"Rachel ... ?" They heard someone called out.
"What the .. Jungmin?! How did you get in?!" Rachel yelled.
"That's not important. What were you gonna do?" Jungmin crossed the room and grabbed Rachel's wrist.
"Nothing that will bother you. Let me go! Why are you always grabbing my wrist. Let go!" Rachel struggled.
"You were gonna change him right?" Jungmin flung Rachel across the room.
"Hey dude, that was ungentlemanly." Kibum ran over to stand protectively infront of Rachel, who was bleeding from the mouth.
"You -" Jungmin raised his arms.
"LEAVE MY SISTER AND HER BOYFRIEND ALONE!" Ayu shouted from the door.
"Boyfriend?" Jungmin looked at Rachel than at Kibum than back at Rachel.
"I thought .. you still love me? Boyfriend .."Jungmin pushed Kibum aside and squat down infront of Rachel. Ayu took a step closer to Rachel.
"That love was over when you flung me across the room." Rachel spat blood on the loor near Jungmin's foot.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what's got over me. I just wanted you back so badly. I..." Jungmin tried to hug Rachel but was pulled away by Ayu.
"Look, she just said Love was over." Ayu said.
"I-"
"Get out .. " Rachel snarled.
"Trust me, I won't give you up so easily." Jungmin said and went off.
"You okay?" Ayu turned to her younger sister.
"I'm fine. Nothing serious. Thanks." Rachel hugged Ayu.
"Kevin?" Kibum said in surprise.
"What?" Ayu spun around.
"Is there something I should know? Isn't he out of town with her?" Kevin looked at Kibum than at Rachel.
"We .. I .. Erh .." Rachel tried to explain.
"We should just tell him.." Kibum said.
"What?!" Ayu shrieked.
"It was bad enough you knew." Rachel shook her head.
"Know what?!" Kevin demanded.
"Why are you here anyways?" Rachel asked Kevin.
"I walked Ayu home because I needed her Chemistry notes. She heard some noise and told me to wait outside, but I couldn't let her go in alone when it could be a dangerous situation right?" Kevin said.
"... Right. You should have just listened to me and stayed outside, and then you won't be involved in this." Ayu said.
"But now I am, and I need to know what is going on."
"We're Vampires. Kibum is gonna be one too. Okay?" Rachel spat out and Ayu glared at her.
"Next time, I'm gonna tape out your mouth. No blood, no talking." Ayu hissed.
"Opps?" Rachel said and hide behind Kibum.

"Hi Rachel." Kibum greeted as the 7 vampires walked in class looking lifeless.
"I can't deal with you right now." Rachel walked to the corner of the class and sat down, resting her head on her hands.
"What's wrong with her?" Eli asked Emi who shrugged.
"PMS, for sure." A guy said.
"What even.. Who the hell are you?" Maggied and Emi stared at the guy.
"I'm Changmin. Oh you don't know the rest of our names?" The guy named Changmin said and the 6 girls shook their head.
"Eli, Kibum, Alexander, Kevin, HyungJun, Siwon and I'm Changmin~"
"Me and Kibum are twins by the way." Hyungjun smiled at Audrey who was standing the closest to him.
"Oh really? Do not care." Maggie faked a smile.

"AHHHH! I CAN KILL SOMEBODY NOW! I NEED BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!" Rachel burst out from the corner.
"Wait.. blood? You girls vampire or something." Kevin laughed.
"No, she's being bitchy today. Ignore whatever comes out of her mouth." Ayu explain while making a mental note to smack Rachel's head later.
The boys nodded and looked convinced, all except Kibum.

---

"Rachel, wait!" Kibum cornered her at her locker after Biology. The only subject she takes alone, and with Kibum.
"What do you want." Rachel snarled.
"Erm, regarding what you say... about blood.. What does it mean?" Kibum asked.
"As simple as it sounds." Rachel laughed bitterly and continued putting her stuffs back in the locker.
"Are you a vampire?!" Kibum let slip of what was floating in his mind.
Rachel froze and turn to look at Kibum with narrowed eyes.
"Vampire."
"I heard stories about how 7 vampires live in our neighbourhood so I tho-"
"Look dude, I know you like me, But I AM A VAMPIRE, so now, you can run as far as possible right now." Rachel sighed and turned back to her locker.
"I don't care if you're a vampire. I won't run and I'll still like you." Came the reply.
"I don't fall for a human." Rachel gritted her teeth.

This whole conversation is getting hard. Every prospect of her sucking his blood ... is making her thirstier than ever.

"Than change me into a vampire."
"Hah! You need to give up your life, everything you own right now. Are you up for it?" Rachel closed her locker and stared at Kibum.
"Yes." He answered.
"You will need to find a clan that accepts you, you will suffer being around your friends, your brother, because their heartbeat will call you in, just like how yours is calling me in" Rachel's eyes glowed red.
Kibum stood defiantly infront of her, but he did flinch a little when he saw the color change in her eyes.
"If you girls can do it, so can I."
"If you are with me, you'll also have a Vampire Prince hunting you down."
"What? Vampire Prince?"
"My ex fiance. Park Jungmin. One of the Royal Blood."
"Okay.. I don't care." Kibum stood there.
"Let me think about it."Rachel said and ran off to find her sisters.

----

"Guys, I'm gonna pair you up for this assignment." Their Chemistry teacher said and the girls groaned while the boys grinned.

"Kevin and Ayu.. Wanie and Alexander.. Steffi and Changmin.. Audrey and HyungJun.. Maggie and Siwon.. Emi and Eli.."
The girls hissed under their breath as they changed their seats.

"Hi, I'm Kevin." Kevin introduced himself to Ayu.
"I'm Ayu." Ayu smiled back.
"So, you have 6 sisters?" Kevin asked as he looked back to the other girls.
"Yeah. And they are a tough bunch of girls to look after. Just look at Emi, Rachel and Maggie when they are high on coffee." Ayu shook her head at those memories.

Rachel burst into class and stopped when she noticed everyone was staring at her.
"Aren't you from Biology, this is Chemistry, wrong class." The teacher said.
"Sorry, but I need to talk to my sisters."

"What? Why do you look so flushed." Emi asked.
"Kibum found out I'm a Vampire, well no, he asked me and I got irritated and blurted it out cos I thought he will leave me alone, now he says he wants to be a vampire because I said I don't like humans!" Rachel said.
"But you love human ... blood." Steffi joked.
"You know, you're really calling for my shoe to be on your face." Ayu sighed.
"I'M SORRY! What do I do now."
"CHANGE HIM! AND LET HIM JOIN OUR CLAN!" Emi said excitedly.
"No, Ems, WHAT?!" Audrey gasp.
"Look at it this way, if the 7 princes decides to visit us again, we can use him!" Emi said.
"Does that mean I have to change him than be his girlfriend?" Rachel knock her head on the wall repeatedly, not that it did any damage to her head, more the wall actually.
"Yes hun~" Emi smiled.
"I.DON'T.LIKE.THIS.IDEA!" Ayu whined.
"Wait till BoA unnie finds out." Wanie said.
"No shit, she'll kill me." Rachel shook her head.
"We better get back to class, we'll discuss later." Ayu said and the 6 of them went back to class, leaving Rachel alone outside.

---

"Rachel~" Rachel heard the familiar sweet voice calling her.
"BOA UNNIE! I MISS YOUUUUU" Rachel ran and hug her Vampire Mentor tightly.
"It's only been 2 weeks." BoA laughed.
"When you see someone everyday for the past 200 years, you'll get attached ~"
"True. And about the changing of that boy?" BoA started.
"uh-oh."
"You have to do it. It's in the prophecy. He's your chance of survival." BoA said calmly.
"What?!" Rachel screeched.
"Yes, your destiny...." BoA's voice faded.

"BoA unnie!" Rachel sat up on her bed and look around. Nobody.
"Just a dream..."

BoA stood watching from downstairs and chuckled as she ran into the woods.

"Rachh, a guy from school will talk to you later." Steffi laughed.
"What? That Eli guy?" Rachel asked.
"No, another one."
"Eli's cute, don't you think." Emi randomly said and Rachel stared at her.
"Hate to disagree, but I disagree." Rachel said and skipped off to disturb Ayu and Wanie, who were walking infront.

Suddenly, Steffi stopped walking and Emi looked at her in concern.
"What's wrong, Ste?" Emi asked, making Maggie look back.
"I saw .. the 7 of them." Steffi said.
"Who?" Maggie asked, confused.
"Jungmin, Jonghyun, Heechul, Cheondong, Taemin, Mika and Kyujong." Steffi said.
"SAY WHAT?!" Emi shrieked and the 4 other girls came up to them.
"What's wrong with Steffi?" Rachel held Steffi's shoulder.
"She saw .. the 7 of them." Emi explained.
"They can't be near us now, if not I would be able to sense them." Rachel looked at Ayu for answers.
"It's 200 years, you could have forgot Jungmin's scent" Audrey said.
"No. I will never forget his scent." Rachel looked down.
"Can you see where they were?" Wanie asked Steffi.
"No. The surroundings were blur. To be on the same side, we better get home and contact our mentor unnies." Steffi suggested.
"Yeah, but what about our billiard game."
"We'll go awhile, but we need to get home before dark." Ayu said.
"Alrights. But why are we running away from them?" Maggie asked.
"We can't face them now. We're not ready to." Wanie said.
"And knowing Jungmin, he will probably kill me for leaving without saying bye." Rachel laughed and her 6 sisters look at her.
"What? I was trying to get rid of the tension." Rachel pouted.

---

"Wanie, billiard noob. You lost, now me!" Rachel shooed Wanie away from the billiard table and smirked at Ayu.
"Prepared to lose?" Rachel grinned.
"No. Are you?" Ayu grinned back.
"No."

Rachel won and was jumping around the table when a guy from across the room approach her.
"Hi." The guy said.
"What do you want" Rachel said coldly.
"Remember me? I'm from your class. My name is Kibum"
"Oh! With that Eli right." Rachel said.
"Yeah, was just wondering, if I could play a match with you, if you lose, you'll give me your number." Kibum said.
"If you lose, you and your guy friends will move out of the back row for the 7 of us." Rachel answered.
"Deal." Kibum grinned.

It was a tough match, but Kibum won.
Rachel hissed and knock her head on the wall.
"I won, your number?" Kibum shoved his phone into her hands.
She hissed again and typed her number into his phone.
"Thanks. See you in school on Monday." Kibum smirked and walked away.
"You. Lost." Emi said.
"Yeah, thanks for stating the obvious." Rachel sighed.
"Let's hurry back now." Steffi urged.
"Ohyeah. Okay let's go." Rachel looked at her watch.
"We have to contact our mentor unnies, ask them what they think abt Steffi's vision. It could be subjective tho." Ayu said.
"I hope it's subjective."

---

Whenever a new vampire is born or created, they will be assigned a Vampire Mentor. And the Vampire mentor will stay with them till the newborn vampires are 200 years old. It's to teach them to control their powers and such.
Their Vampire Mentors recently left them, and the only way the can contact is through their minds.

"So, who's gonna contact them first?" Rachel asked.
"I'll contact Mi Yeon unnie." Emi volunteered.
"Let's go watch tv to calm ourselves down k?" Maggie suggested.
"Yeah. The 6 girls left the kitchen and flopped down on the couch.

"Min Yeon unnie thinks -" Emi started but stopped when they heard a knock at the door.
"I'll open." Emi volunteered.

Emi opened the door and gasp loudly.
"What is it?" Rachel went to her and look out. "Holy sh-"
"why did you girls leave?" Jungmin roared at Rachel. She looked away.
"200 years, I've been looking for you for 200 years. How can you even hide from me that long." Jungmin shook Rachel and she winced.
"You're hurting me!" Rachel yelled.
"Hey dude, let her go." Emi warned.
"Yeah, I'm way stronger than you." Ayu came up.
"Rachh, use your powers." Wanie said.
"I can't. LET GO OF ME!" Rachel yelled again.
"You girls have powers?" Jungmin released Rachel in shock.
"Yes, and unlike Rachel, we can use it on you." Steffi warned.
"Why are you girls even hiding from us?"Jungmin asked everyone but kept his eyes looked at Rachel.
"Because .. we don't want to marry someone from the Royal Blood." Audrey thought up of an excuse.
"Yeah, besides your fath-" Maggie started but stopped when she saw the other 6 boys walking up.
"We're not any princess by any chance, so no." Ayu said.
"No, we will work this out.." Kyujong reach out to Audrey but she ignored him.
"You know what, we've move on okay? Go get yourself some Vampire Princess to marry ok? Bye!" Wanie said and shut the door in their face.
"You do know the door will stay if they use their strength right?" Maggie raise her eyebrows.
"Yeah, but they are not trying to open." Wanie answered.
"They left." Rachel said.
"Why weren't you able to sense Jungmin? Or any of them for that matter?" Emi looked at Rachel.
"I have no idea. I could only sense him when you opened the door." Rachel looked back at Emi.
"Your powers are failing you, you couldn't even control his senses." Wanie said and Rachel hissed.
"I guess so." Rachel sighed in defeat.

Rachel's phone rang from where she left it in the living room.
"What now." Rachel rolled her eyes.
Audrey, who was nearest to her phone picked it up and read the text message.
"Who is it?" Rachel asked, uninterested.
"That guy from school." Audrey giggled.
"What? Oh my gawd. I can't deal with this." Rachel facepalm herself.

[200 years ago]

"You cannot marry them! They are not vampires! They will be a threat to our race." Rain scolded his 7 sons.
"You were the one who told us to find ourselves brides, we did. And now you're saying they will be a threat to our race?"JongHyun answered back.
"What can they do to us? They are only humans!" Jungmin said.
"EXACTLY WHY THEY WILL BE A THREAT TO US! Having them in the Royal Family will cause a rebellion. I don't want a vampire war again." Rain said.
"So you only want us to have vampire brides?" Taemin asked.
"Yes." Rain answered.
"Fine!" Heechul said and gestured for his 6 other brothers to leave.

"Dad wants vampire brides. We'll give him vampire brides!" Heechul said.
"What? Like how? You know we will never leave the girls." Mika said.
"We'll change the girls." Jungmin exchanged a wink with Heechul.
"Bite them? But ... what if the girls don't agree?" Kyujong said, shocked.
"We'll ask them now. Let's go." The 7 of them left and went to the meet their fiancees.

"WHAT?! YOU WANT TO CHANGE US TO VAMPIRES?! NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Rachel yelled when Jungmin told her.
"YEAH ! NO WAY, IM HAPPY BREATHING." Maggie agreed with Rachel.
"Girls, it's not so bad, look at the positive side, we will never die." Emi smiled at JongHyun who smiled back.
"Never die..." Rachel rolled her eyes.
"I cannot believe you actually suggested that!" Maggie hit Taemin's chest.
"Honey, it's not that bad actually, it takes a few weeks to get use to it, thn its all fun." Jungmin held Rachel's wrist to stop her from hitting him and hurting her hand instead.
"I hate you." Rachel hit her head against Jungmin's chest.
"No you don't." Jungmin rubbed her bruised forehead.
"Being a vampire is fun. C'mon Rachh." Audrey said.
"Yeah, we will never die, like how cool can it be!" Wanie laughed.
"Yeah Rachh, We'll make your life fun." Ayu said.
"I'm gonna be stuck with you guys all my life?!" Rachel whined.
"HEY! WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN!" Maggie said.
"Nothing heh heh." Rachel grinned.
"So .. vampires?" Heechul asked.
"Oh yeahh! Eternal life! Here we come!" Wanie said.

"Somehow ... I feel bad for putting them through this pain." Kyujong gulped as they watched their fiance lay perfectly still but their face shows pure torture.
"It's gonna be for a few hours." Jungmin put his hands on Kyujong and gulped as well.
"This is ... not how I imagine ... it would be." Heechul sighed.
"What? You imagine the process to be filled with happy white ponies and prancing around the meadows?" Cheondong snapped.
"No. But seeing them like this .. it's just ... wrong" Heechul said.
"I can't watch this." Mika said and walked out.
"He's abandoning Ayu at her most needed time!" Taemin yelled.
"He isn't. There's nothing much he can do to ease the pain, cept kill her, which is not an option, and he can't bear to see her in so much pain." Jungmin explained.
"I would have walked out if I didn't promise Steffi I'll stay here till the process is complete." Cheondong buried his head in his arms.

"How do you feel?" Cheondong asked Steffi worriedly.
"Weird." Steffi answered as she opened her eyes.
"I'm seeing the world in a different light!" Wanie exclaimed excitedly.
"Really? It looks the same to me." Rachel tilted her head and look at Jungmin.
"Yeah, it looks brighter." Maggie said.
"I don't see any difference!" Rachel stomped her feet.
"Look carefully." Jungmin coaxed.
"Oww, my head hurts." Ayu and Emi sat up at the same time. Jonghyun and Mika rushed to their side.
"My head hurts, aww damn." Emi cursed and Jonghyun laughed.
"What's so funny raptor?" Emi punched Jonghyun and it hurt.
"That actually hurt." Jonghyun looked at Emi.
"We're even out now remember?" Emi answerd and everyone laughed.
"Let's go see our dad now! He can't object anymore since you girls are vampires now." Jungmin said.
"OH, I FEEL MY FANGS !" Rachel shrieked and everyone laughed again.
"Your slow reaction will never go away. We have to live it for an eternity." Mika teased Rachel.
"YAH!"

"No! They may be vampires, but they are not vampire princess. You cannot marry someone who is not of royal blood." Rain shouted.
"Fu-" Jungmin started.
"YOU TOLD US THEY ONLY NEEDED TO BE VAMPIRES, YOU SAID NOTHING OF PRINCESS." Cheondong yelled cutting Jungmin off.
"You as princes, should know what to do." Rain said
"What if we don't wanna be princes anymore."
"I created you guys, you should listen to what I said. If it wasn't for me, you 7 would have died!" Rain yelled.
"I rather die than let you control us now." Taemin mumbled.
"I could destroy you now." Rain raised his hands and all Taemin's hyungs stood infront protectively infront of him.

"So we became a vampire for nothing?" Rachel sighed as they overheard the conversation between the boys and their father.
"Then there's no point for us to stay here right?" Audrey said with tears threatening to spill from her eyes.
"Let's go." Maggie tugged Emi's sleeves.
With that, the 7 of them ran. Far away from this place. Where they will never meet that 7 vampires again.

-----------------

"Shucks!" Ayu sat up with a start.
"What's wrong?" Audrey looked at her.
"That dream again." Ayu said softly.
"It's been 200 years, we need to get over it." Audrey said.
"I know, it just haunts me alright. Like they are close to us." Ayu said.
"If they were near us, Rachel or Steffi would have sense it." Audrey reassured Ayu.
"I know .. I just hoped this dream will stop replaying. Experiencing that heartbreak once is enough." Ayu sighed.
"HEY GIRLS! YOU'RE AWAKEEE!" Rachel and Emi skipped into the room that Ayu and Audrey shared.
"It's hard not to be, when the both of you are making so much noise and skipping everywhere you go." Maggie shuffled in behind them, hair in a mess.
"It's not our fault we are so hyper." Emi and Rachel said at the same time.
"JINX! HAHAHAH!" Emi and Rachel laughed.
"Shut it!" Steffi and Wanie yelled from the other room.
"WAKE UP!" Rachel yelled back.
"SHUT UP!" Someone threw a pillow out of the room.
"It's 11am. What are we gonna do today?!" Emi asked.
"SLEEP THE WHOLE DAY!" Steffi, Wanie and Maggie yelled at the same time.
"Steffi, look into the future, what are we gonna do later." Rachel asked Steffi.
"Sleep. Sleep and more sleeping." Steffi answered.
"Bull. Seriously." Rachel frowned.
"We're gonna play billiard later, and we will meet that 7 boys from school." Steffi answered sleepily.
"Seriously, Rachel and Emi, must you two be so hyper everyday?" Wanie asked as she peeked into Audrey and Ayu's room.
"Yes!" Rachel and Emi answered together and fell off the bed laughing uncontrollably.
"Crazy girls!"

"Aww, come on! Let's go! I'm starving!" A very hysterical Rachel yelled at her 6 other sisters.
"Yeah! Coming!" Emi yelled back.
"Where will we be hunting this time?" Maggie asked, eyes burning red.
"How about over there? We need to have our fill, school starts tomorrow, and we won't be able to hunt till weekends." Ayu said, pointing to the forest next to their house.
"A school of humans. Yummy." Rachel licked her pale lips.
"Rachel! Only animal blood!" Steffi hit Rachel's head.
"I need time to adjust kays." Rachel's fangs grew and her eyes glowed red as well.
"Before a vampire blood fest starts, let's go, shall we?" Audrey said, being the calm one in their clan.

--

"Rachel, I need a favour from you." Ayu called Rachel over as they walked to their new school.
"What?" Rachel skipped to Ayu.
"Don't create trouble. No biting." Ayu glared at Rachel who smiled cheekily.
"Okayokay! I won't" Rachel grinned.

The 7 vampires walked in and everyone gasped.
As Vampires, they are gorgeous, each in their own unique way. They cannot get hurt, even if they do, they heal so fast, you don't even know they have been hurt.

They smirked and walked into their class. Behaving like the bad girls they were dressed like, they walked to the back of the class.
7 boys sat at the left side of the back row, taking up 3 seats.
One of the boys smirked and Rachel rolled her eyes, while the other 'tsk'.
Rachel sat down at the table next to that boy, Emi sat down beside her and Steffi settled infront of her. The 3 of them turned and grinned at the boys, making them speechless.
Wanie, Ayu, Audrey and Maggie laughed. After the boys gained back their sense, the sense that Rachel temporary controlled, they look over at the 7 girls again.
The boy who first smirked turned to Rachel and extended his hand.
"Hi, I'm Eli."
Rachel ignored him and continue laughing at Wanie's joke.
"Yah! Do you think you are all that?" Eli yelled.

Rachel smirked and stood up to face him, with Emi and Steffi on her either side.
"Yes, I think we are all that, and we are more than what you expect us to be." Rachel winked and controlled his senses again.
Eli blinked a few times and sat down, while the other boys stared at Rachel than at Eli than back at Rachel.
Emi laughed and Rachel put her arms around Emi as they sat back down.
"Rachel. I said don't create trouble." Ayu warned.
"I'm not!" Rachel pouted, making them laugh.

"Rachel! Wake up! Lecture over already!" Rachel's best friend, Steffi shook Rachel.
"Huh? Uh..." Rachel opened one eyed and squinted, trying to get use to the brightness in the lecture hall.

By the time Rachel was fully awake and have packed up her stuffs, there was only 4 students left in the lecture hall.
Rachel, Steffi, Steffi's boyfriend; Max and a new korean student.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm hungry. Can we go eat?! SUBWAYYY!" Steffi jumped up and down infront of Rachel while Max shook his head.
"YOur girlfriend?" Rachel looked at Max and gestured to Steffi.
"Your best friend?" Max asked in reply.
"Hello? I'm just here you know?" Steffi rolled her eyes.
"Rights. Ok, let's go.." Rachel pulled Steffi arms and walked out of the lecture hall.

"Rachel, do you think that new korean guy is weird?" Steffi asked Rachel.
"Weird? No, I think he's really cute when he smiles." Rachel said.
"Cute? I think he pouts too much for a guy. And he's always looking at us. Creepy creeper." Steffi shivered.
"Pouting is good. Goooood~" Rachel laughed.
"Whatever ~ What's his name?" Steffi turned to Max.
"Park .. erh.. Jungmin I think." Max said.
"Hmmmm. Park Jungmin.. I will call him the pouting boy." Steffi said.

The 3 of them walked into Subway and found a booth next to the window.
Rachel dumped her laptop and her bag on the chair and sat down.
"Oh look, your pouting boy is outside." Rachel pointed.
"Mine?! Excuse me~" Steffi exclaimed.
"L-O-L surry Max ~" Rachel apologised.

Rachel's phone vibrated and Steffi looked at the screen.
"Stellia's calling~" Steffi informed Rachel who finally tore her eyes away from the window.
"Sup." Rachel answered.
"Mum says go home for dinner." Stellia told Rachel.
"But whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!?" Rachel whined.
"No idea. Don't complain. I'm on a date with Joe and mum calls and starts yelling at me to get home. Annoying!" Stellia complained.
"Rights. Okok. I'll go back soon. See you later." Rachel said and hung up the call.

"Sorry lovebirds, I gotta go. Mummy wants me home for dinner." Rachel said apolgetically and left.
As she was walking towards the bus stop, her bus came, making her groan in frustration and running to the bus stop.
By the time she got in, the bus was almost full, and right behind her was .. Jungmin.
She smiled at him, and he returned the smile awkwardly.
"You're Jungmin right?" She asked.
"yeaah." He replied.
"Ohhh. Going home?" She smiled and he nodded.

Ater 5 minutes of silence between them, she decided to take out her ipod.
Headphones around her ear, jamming to the sounds of Panic! at the disco.
Jungmin looked at her with amusement. She was bobbing her head up and down to the music.
All of a sudden, the bus jerked and Rachel almost fell.
Jungmin quickly reached out to grab her waist before she fell onto an old man's lap.
"Uh, thanks.." Rachel straightened herself and pulled her hoodie closer to herself.
She touched her face and it was burning. She was blushing!
She reached her stop, muttered a quick goodbye to Jungmin and hurried down the bus.

"Crap. Why was my heart beating so fast?" Rachel wondered aloud.
"You're getting a heart attack." Rachel heard someone said.
"Whut? Oh.. HI JOLIE!" Rachel waved to Stellia and Joe.
"I told you, my name is Joe. L.Joe. NOT JOLIE!" Joe complained and stellia laughed.
"Jolie is cute. Look at you, so cute, blond and cuteee." Rachel faked pinched Joe's cheeks.
"Just go away." Joe mumbled.
"You go away, unless you want my mum to see you." Rachel smiled.
"Okayyy. Annoying. I see you tomorrow, Stellia." Joe hugged Stellia and left.
"Why are you like this?" Stellia whined.
"Doesn't it amuse you? Admit, you have the funniest sister ever." Rachel laughed.

-----------------x

"Yeah, and than I was rocking to 'I write sins not tragedy' than the stupid bus jerked and I almost fell!" Rachel was on the phone with Steffi on the way to school.
"OH MY GOD! Did you actually fall?" Steffi asked.
"Obviously not." Rachel answered.
"Aww, thank god, cause I wanna witness the fall. HAHA." Steffi laughed.
"Real funny. Your pouting boy caught me before I could fall on some dirty old man's lap." Rachel snorted.
"WHAT?! POUTNG BOY TOOK THE SAME BUS AS YOU?!" Steffi screeched into the phone.
"And oh my god, speaking of him, he just boarded the bus. Holy. I swear he didn't alight here yesterday." Rachel said.
Jungmin spotted Rachel and smiled, he sat down next to her and Rachel returned the smile nervously.
"I talk to you later." Rachel told Steffi and hung up.
"Hi!" Jungmin said.
"Morning." Rachel replied.
"You.. school.. friends?" Jungmin asked but Rachel didn't understand his minimal english.
"Sorry? What?" Rachel looked confused.
"Friend. Steffi?" Jungmin repeated.
"Oh! You mean my friend, Steffi? She's at school with her boyfriend already." Rachel smiled.
"Ahh. okayokay." Jungmin smiled.
"You need help with English?" Rachel asked suddenly.
"Bwoh? Ahh. I mean.. okay." Jungmin answered.
"I can help you, but you must teach me korean!" Rachel said.
"Okay. Give me your handphone number?" JungMin asked.
"Hmmm, give me yours too!" Rachel smiled cheerfully and passed Jungmin her phone.
"So... I see you during lecture later!" Rachel said and ran off as soon as they alighted from the bus.

----

"Wait.. you're learning korean from him.. and he's learning english from you?" Steffi repeated for the 10th time.
"For the 10th time, yes, Steffi, YES." Rachel answered and Max laughed.
"Why, Rachel. Why!!" Steffi being dramatic.
"He's nice. He saved me from falling to my doom." Rachel replied.
"Well.." Steffi started.
"You better learn your koream well." Max said, cutting Steffi off.
"I will!" Rachel laughed.

[3 MONTHS LATER]
"Yobosaeyo!" Rachel answered her sister's call.
"Huh? What?" Stellia replied.
"Sorry, I thought it was Jungmin."Rachel said sheepishly.
"Tsk!"
"Heh.. Yes. What is it?" Rachel asked.
"Oh! L.Joe got 6 free tickets to Universal Studios. I don't know how ...but yeah, 6 tickets. So ask if Steffi and Max wanna go.. and you can bring someone." Stellia answered.
"I bet all my money, she'll call Jungmin." Rachel heard L.Joe say in the background.
"Tell Jolie, as much as I want him to lose all his money, I have no one else to bring but Jungmin." Rachel said.
"What even .... You two. Haha." Stellia laughed.
"I talk to yo tonight. Tell Jolie I said and thanks!" Rachel said and hang up.

She sat at the bus stop, waiting for her bus when Jungmin came along.
"Hi!" Jungmin greeted cheerfully.
"Annyeong!" Rachel laughed.
"Good!" Jungmin showed a thumbs up.
"Oh yeah, my sister's boyfriend has free tickets to Universal studios. Wanna come along?" Rachel asked.
"Universal studios?" Jungmin looked confused.
"Hmm. Yeah. Like Lotte World!" Rachel explained simply.
"Oh! Okok! Can la!" Jungmin smiled, using the singlish he had picked up from hanging around Rachel, Steffi and Max.
"La? OH MY GOD! YOU SAID LA!" Rachel burst out laughing.
They boarded the bus and chatted about singlish throughout the journey. Before she alighted, Jungmin passed her a letter.
"Read later." Jungmin smiled.
"Okay! Thanks" Rachel smiled back.

"I'm home! Oh hi Jolie!" Rachel greeted as she stepped into her house.
"Jolie .... " L.Joe grumbled.
"haha, I'm in a good mood so I shall not argue with you." Rachel smirked.
L.Joe rolled his eyes. Rachel flopped down on the sofa next to Stellia and took out the letter Jungmin gave her.
"What's that?" Stellia asked, peering over.
"A letter that Jungmin gave." Rachel answered and opened the letter.

Rachel.
I trying my best at writing this in english. But my english is no good. Hope you understand.
You know when I joined lecture and saw you, your laughter, rebellious nature, your voice. I started liking you.
Can you give me a chance?
- Jungmin

"That's so ... sweet." Stellia said as she peeked at the letter.
"What even.. oh.." Rachel covered her tomato red face and ran into her room that she shared with Stellia.
Her phone rang and she jumped. She looked at the screen and it says "Steffi"/
"YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED!" Rachel shouted into the phone without saying hello.
"Well, Hello and what?" Steffi said.
"Jungmin wrote me a confession letter!!" Rachel shrieked.
"In korean?!"
"English."
"SERIOUSLY?! THAN WHAT NOW?!" Steffi shrieked as well.
"I have no idea..." Rachel sighed.
"You've been single for far too lo-" Steffi started.
"Single is fun." Rachel interrupted.
"Well yeah, you see.. Key has been gone for 2 years, babe." Steffi said.
"It's not because of Key!" Rachel snapped.
"Than accept Jungmin. It's obvious you like him."
"What? No... I. Don't know..." Rachel sighed again.
Silence.
"Rachh?" Steffi called out.
"Yeah?"
"Go open your front door." Steffi cooed.
"For?"
"Just do it! Don't ask why."
Rachel sighed and walked to the front door, and there was Jungmin.
"What in the world, Steffi?!" Rachel turned away and screamed into the phone.
"I'll go deaf very soon. Gotta go! Bye!" Steffi hung up.

"Mum says you must always invite your guest in" Stellia grinned and opened the door for Jungmin.
"Haha, we'll be in the kitchen. Have fun!" L.Joe winked.
Stellia and L.Joe went into the kitchen and Rachel could hear them laughing.
"Saw my letter?" Jungmin asked.
"Yeah." Rachel avoided Jungmin's eyes.
"And?"
"I.. don't kn-" Rachel started to say but stopped when Jungmin hugged her.
Her heart melted when she felt Jungmin's arms around her and she muttered out a "Yes"

-- Universal Studios --

Once the 6 of them alighted from the shutter bus, Steffi, Rachel and Stellia started jumping around.
"oh my god! Universal studios! Yay!" Steffi started screaming.
"I know right!! So excited!!" Rachel screamed as she grab Stellia's hand.
"Your girlfriends?" L.Joe asked Max and Jungmin.
"Hey, your girlfriend is there too!" Jungmin pointed out while Max smiled.
"Max! I wanna ride the pirate shippp!" Steffi pulled Max and ran towards the pirate ship ride.
"Tsk Steffi! Baby! I wanna ride all the roller coasters!" Rachel hugged Jungmin's arms and walked in.
"Left us.. What do you wanna ride?" L.Joe took Stellia's hand and walked in after Jungmin and Rachel.
"How bout .. haunted house?" Stellia titled her head.
"Okay! Let's go!"L.Joe said excitedly.

"Ooooo foood. Let's get some!" Max pulled Steffi towards the foodstores.
"We're gonna ride the Pirate ship and you're eating?" Steffi scolded while Max bought food.
"But I'm hungryy...." Max pouted.
"Since when were you not?" Steffi sighed.
"Okok, done eating, let's go!" Max put his arms around Steffi's shoulder.
"Yays!" Steffi ran off to queue for their turn.

After the 3rd round of riding on the Pirate Ship, Max looks really pale.
"Steffi, can we stop. I don't feel so good." Max wobbled out.
"See! I told you not to eat!" Steffi scolded but helped Max to a nearby bench. "Wait here." Steffi said and went off.
A few minutes later she came back with a bottle of water.
"Drink this. It will help." Steffi said.
"Sorry. You can't enjoy yourself" Max pouted.
"Nahs, it's okay. What's most important is you feeling okay!" Steffi laughed and hugged Max.

"That was awesome!" Rachel ran out of the roller coaster and waited for Jungmin to walk slowly to her side.
"What's wrong?" Rachel giggled at the sight of pale Jungmin.
"Never.. Wanna.. Take.. That.. Again.." Jungmin mumbled.
"Fine. Let's go play the carnival games." Rachel pulled Jungmin.
"Ohhhh. That Hello Kitty. I want! Help me get !" Rachel pointed at the huge Hello Kitty stuffed toy.
"That's the top prize you know." Jungmin looked at it in shock.
"Oh. I bet you can't get it for me anyways." Rachel teased Jungmin.
"If I get it for you, what do I get in return?" Jungmin hugged Rachel.
"A kiss?" Rachel laughed.
"Sounds good." Jungmin said and played the game.
5 minutes later, Jungmin thanked the gamekeeper and took the huge Hello Kitty.
"O-M-G !! Looks like I lost the bet didn't I?" Rachel squealed and tried to snatch the Hello Kitty from Jungmin's hands.
"Hmm. The bet.. My reward?" Jungmin held the Hello Kitty out of Rachel's reach.
"I hate being short." Rachel pouted.
"I'll give it to you ~~ My reward?" Jungmin pouted as well.
Rachel tiptoed and gave Jungmin a kiss on his lips.

"Ahhahah, here you go~" Jungmin gave the Hello Kitty to Rachel.
"HELLO KITTYYYYYYYYYYYY! I'm gonna name you Jungminnie~" Rachel talked to the stuffed toy.
"What's with the minnie behind. It's a cat, not a mouse." Jungmin rolled his eyes.
"I don't care. It's cute. Like youuu!" Rachel pinched Jungmin's nose.
"Of cause I am." Jungmin sticked out his tongue and hugged Rachel as they walked off.

"Do you think it'll be scary in side?" Stellia asked L.Joe as they queued up to enter the Haunted House.
"Should be." L.Joe said.
"Argh. Why did I choose haunted house?" Stellia groaned.
"We can't back out now, we're nearly at the front." L.Joe said.
"But-"
"You can always hug me." L.Joe grinned.
"HAHAHA. Whatever ~~" Stellia laughed as they walked into the haunted house.

When they came out, Stellia had a shocked expression and L.Joe look as though he was in pain.
"Stellia honey, look at my arm." L.Joe pointed to his arm.
"OH WHY ARE YOU BLEEDING!" Stellia panicked.
"You gripped onto my arms so tightly. Your nails are like knifes you know." L.Joe joked.
"I'm so sorry." Stellia sighed.
"It's okayy!" L.Joe hugged Stellia.
"I'll put some plaster on." Stellia took out her wallet and pulled out some plasters.
"Thankyou." L.Joe smiled when Stellia was done.
"Sorry for scratching youuu~" Stellia looked down.
"Hey, it's okayy. Small matter. Now let's go meet up with the rest?" L.Joe held Stellia's hands tightly.
"I see my sister... " Stellia pointed ahead.
"Let's go disturb them!" L.Joe said and they ran off.

"JUST LISTEN TO ME, WILL YOU?!" Kibum punched the wall beside Rachel.

Rachel was leaning against the wall with Kibum arms on either side of her, sobbing hard.

"Why should I?!" Rachel retorted. "I saw it with my 2 eyes. I saw it myself!"

*bam* Kibum punched the wall again.
Xander walked up to Kibum and tried to restrain him before he hurt Rachel physically.
"Kibum, stop that, you'll hurt her and yourself." Xander said and Kibum ignored him, watching the blood drip down his arm from his knuckles.
"Just let me explain. Please." Kibum said softly.
Rachel looked away. Kibum held her face in his hands.
"Please, I beg you, just let me explain, its not what you think." Kibum said.
"Fine."
"That girl? She's my cousin. I wanted her to meet you today, but when you saw us yesterday, I was just showing her how she and her boyfriend should be like. All I did was hold her chin. I didn't kiss her, I swear! Kevin was there! Ask him!" Kibum said and pointed to Kevin
Kevin nodded. "I was there, he was just showing her, nothing more."
"But I sa-" Rachel started.
"What you saw was a mistake. It was the angle you were looking from. You couldn't see Kevin because the wall was blocking. It looks like I'm kissing her because I was back facing where you were. I'm innocent. Baby, just believe me, I'll never cheat on you. You know how much I love you, how much I went through to be with you." Kibum leaned his forehead on Rachel's forehead and gazed into her eyes.
Rachel let out a sigh and looked at him.
"Are you sure?"
"Do you want confirmation?" Kibum said and kissed her.
