[Contest] The Vampire's First and Last Love

Do you love me..?

I quickly jumped onto the elevator, ran, and ran. Then I realized they weren't following me, so I paused for a moment to catch my breath.

Sigh...what is this...if Daniel finds out, neither I nor that vampire will let it go...

I was wandering around the street wondering how I could cover up this scar, and then I came across a convenience store. Thinking they might have a Band-Aid, I decided to buy one and put it on.

As soon as I entered the convenience store, the clerk greeted me, so I turned my head toward the clerk and bowed in greeting.

Welcome-

.....hello..

Then I quickly found the band, gave the money to the clerk, and hurriedly left the convenience store, saying I didn't need change.

But I tried to endure the sting and pain as much as I could, determined to get there quickly. And whether it was stairs or traffic lights, I ran and ran with the determination to get there quickly. As I endured the pain and ran, the pain only grew worse, and my legs began to give out.

So I was resting for a moment on the stairs, when someone's shadow obscured my view. Breathing heavily, I looked up to see who it was. It was... Daniel!

I was so surprised that I almost fell backwards on the stairs, but luckily Daniel wrapped his arms around my waist, so I didn't fall. However, since the position was a bit awkward, Daniel quickly let go of his arms around my waist and looked at me with cold, indifferent eyes.

다니엘

You. Why are you here? And did you hurt your shoulder? Or was it because I asked you yesterday? But I didn't ask you... Could it be you...

Daniel looked at me with a suspicious gaze, as if he were a vampire. So I avoided his gaze and spoke.

여주

Oh... that's not it! Yesterday, I was playing at my little brother's house and hurt my shoulder a little... haha...

He said this because he couldn't believe what I was saying and he looked at me with even more suspicion as he saw blood coming out between the bands.

다니엘

Don't lie. Then what the hell is bleeding between the bands? Even if they were injured, would they bleed that much?

I was lost in thought, wondering how I could possibly say something so they would believe that I had lost this much blood. Then Daniel patted my head, sighed softly, and spoke calmly so that I could speak.

다니엘

Tell me, it's okay. And let's talk once we get home. Humans might be eavesdropping here.

I agreed with Daniel and nodded in understanding. Daniel carried me and I carried Daniel and we went to Daniel's house.

We arrived at Daniel's house in no time, and he approached me first, suggesting we talk in his room. I agreed, stopped by my room briefly, and then went to Daniel's.

As soon as I knocked and came in, Daniel looked at me with a cold, cold gaze, and I gave him the book I had borrowed and said to him.

Okay, the book. And this wound... that's right—that vampire Daniel is thinking of right now. That guy named Park Ji-hoon asked. But I...

I tried to stop Daniel, who was just going to walk away without even listening to me, but I couldn't. I didn't know what to do, so I hugged Daniel from behind, thinking, "I don't know.." For a moment, I was flustered as I hugged him from behind, but Daniel was even more flustered.

And then I continued to say what I couldn't say any more.

여주

Ugh..I'm sorry for hugging you..but please stop now..I'm begging you...don't just show this consideration to me, why don't you show it to the other vampires too..? After all, we're your colleagues..! Please, I beg you, Daniel..don't go..

I cried and talked back... Daniel released my hand from around his waist, looked at my face, and wiped away the tears that were still flowing with his cold, large hands. Daniel's face turned slightly red as he spoke to me.

다니엘

How can you talk like that while crying... ruining our pretty little face... and... what on earth is this feeling, little one? My heart keeps pounding... and it hurts so much... why..? When I keep looking at you... yes... I...

I was embarrassed, but I pretended not to be surprised and told Daniel to bend down a bit. Daniel crouched down like an obedient cat and I put my warm, small hand on Daniel's face and said.

여주

..Thank you. And as I said before, do you love me? If..you do..what will become of you..? I thought you were a vampire..you can't love or like humans..is that right?

Daniel was flustered and placed his cold hand on my warm one, looking at me as if asking how I knew, so I said so.

여주

I read it in a book I borrowed from Daniel's room... but I didn't know it would be the right answer... so could you answer my question...? Did Daniel... fall in love with me, Kang Yeo-ju?

I spoke with tears in my eyes, and Daniel also spoke with eyes that looked like he was about to cry.

다니엘

....Yeah, I love you.
