Beomgyu P.O.V
Sometimes I really wonder what I did in past lifetimes.Was I a doctor or a dancer or maybe even a teacher? But one thing remains constant to this day.
I have definitely offended someone because their is no other explanation for this horrible life I've lived.
All I wanted to do was see where Yeonjun was going in the mornings.And yet with my luck I've somehow managed to,get transported in a flying carriage,watch Yeonjun expose the royals,protect him from 30 guards and still run away from him the moment im caught.
There is not alot of things I fear on this earth. I was trained to be a weapon my entire life.But the one thing I have come to fear is the very one chasing behind me as I run through the forest.
Choi Yeonjun.
Because jun means uncertainty. With him I have to consider something I've never thought about before.
My heart.
I've never been one ran by my emotions in fact I shut them down.I forbid myself from feelings because thats how I was wired and conditioned.
But something about Yeonjun unlocks emotions ive never used before. Or emotions that have been pushed so far that I've never even had the courage to utter them.
Before I could pretend like I didn't care. I could pretend like I wasn't effected by him. But this time my actions have spoken to loudly the words I was l afraid to speak.
Im afraid if Yeonjun catches me he will pull down my mask and reveal my true face. I cannot allow this.
I run faster away from him teleporting into different sections of the forest.How the hell has he even known that im here?
I decide to hide in one of the trees and I hear his footsteps slow down as he whispers."Come out my little lamb im waiting for you."
I hear Yeonjun say and I notice his footsteps haven't moved. So again even without the amulet he knows my exact movements.
How??
I decide to think of the carriage I locked Yeonjun in and I teleport there and thankfully Yeonjun is gone.
I tap the rider on the shoulder telling him to go.He nods and starts the carriage. I sit down where Yeonjun once sat and let out a sigh of relief.
I close my eyes and began to fall asleep. And this time when I wake up I feel someone brushing their hands through my hair.I freeze immediately refusing to make any eye contact.
I feel his cold hands grab my face and tilt my head up towards him."How long have you known?"
I say softly and when I looked into his eyes I knew that he understood exactly what I was asking him about.
"From the moment you first got in the carriage."
The moment I first got in the carriage.Thats was hours ago so he's known since the very beginning? This is definitely something stronger than an amulet. But I can't worry about that.
Right now I have to settle this.
"Then why pretend?"
"I wanted to see what you were going to do"
"How Yeonjun? I'm the best at what I do I have always been untraceable. So how do you keep finding me?"
"I'll only tell you if you actually tell me the truth about your feelings."
"You know on the other hand.I don't have to know everything." I say slyly and Yeonjun grabs my neck and pulls me closer to him.
"Atleast tell me why you ran?"
"What do you mean? I obviously was afraid your a big,strong,scary vampire chasing after me in a dark forest.Why would I not run?"
"If it was anyone else I would probably believe them.But its you."
"And what does that mean?"
"It means I know you better than you think. I memorized your sweet scent of vanilla and flowers. I know you overthink when you're alone so you suffer with insomnia.I know that when you haven't been fed in a while you become stoic in a attempt to hide your hunger.I know that regardless of how cold you may seem you still love those around you. Even if you never say it.I know that you hide your pretty face because your parents forced you to.I also know that when im near you, your heart races just like mine."
"Out of fear."
"No Beomgyu out of the same emotion I feel whenever I look to my side and see you."
"And what is that Yeonjun?"
"Love." Yeonjun says quietly almost as if he whispered a forbidden word afraid that I would scatter away again if its uttered to loudly.
"I cant Yeonjun."
"Why is it so hard for you to say?"
"Because the last time I said it I was punished for it."
"I will kill anyone who tries to hurt you."
"I know."
"Just tell me how I make you feel."
"You make me feel scared."
"Why?"
"Because I have no idea why my heart hurts when you aren't with me."
"Beomgyu."
"Yes?"
"I love you."
"Why?"
"Because your my baby." Yeonjun says with a whisper before leaning in and kissing me softly.
All of the hardships was worth it to experience this even if it was just for one second.I decided that I will relax and live fully in this moment.
Until I heard his next words.
"But I haven't forgotten about you sneaking out of the palace and putting yourself in danger.I believe its time we have a chat."
Crap.
