Despite the glasses YeJun occasionally wore the hybrid wasn’t blind. His nearby seat mate looked ready to drop dead. Maybe bothering him hadn’t been a good idea, but that smile he saw was infectious and easily brought out his own boxy one. He loved meeting new people no matter how grumpy other’s may look. YeJun took another bite of his sandwich once again humming at how much he was enjoying it. 

“Doing great cause this sandwich is to die for,” he replied. “I don’t know how I’ve ever lived without this beautiful concoction in my life.”YeJun stopped himself before he really started to wax poetry over food to a stranger. “What about yourself? I don’t want to be rude, but you look like you’re going to need more than that cup of coffee.” 

“I need about like, a whole two people worth of blood,” Venus chuckled weakly, flashing his fangs just to see the reaction of the other. He loved dark jokes. “Coffee is what I need right now. I’m not hungry, just tired. I kind of just want to be home to cuddle my dog and boyfriend,” he admitted, giving a small shrug. 

“I’m glad you like the sandwich though, it makes me happy to hear feedback, without even asking,” he smiled. It brightened his day. Especially when he was having such a shitty one. “What about your drink?” he asked, bringing his drink up to his lips and taking one more sip of the warm liquid.

The student rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly at being a bit of a flirt even when he hadn’t meant to. As he listened to the vampire’s explanation, Jae couldn’t help the look of smothered interest at this little nugget about the vampires of Seoul. Maybe they didn’t all feel the same way this one did, but he wouldn’t complain when it came to learning something new about the species he was fascinated with. “That makes so much sense, I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of it that way,” he muttered more to himself. Notes would be written down about this later once he got home. “Well, any friend of Hanuel’s is a friend of mine, I’m Jaehyuk,” he said, bowing a little at the shorter vampire. 

Admittedly, Jae didn’t know much about art. So some of the terms through around like Baroque meant nothing to him, but a name like Caravaggio stuck out. Turning away from Venus, Jae faced the shelf a little further down from where they were standing. He clucked his tongue against the roof of his mouth as he walked over and began scanning each row until he found what he was looking for. There was two books in total both matching what Venus had described. He grabbed them from the high shelf and held them out as an offering. “Tada.” 

Venus watched as the younger moved to find the books. He smiled gratefully whenever he was handed them. One was the book he was looking for, the other, well, he was going to buy anyways. Simply because he loved to read. He also loved art and artists. A book about an artist? Now, well, that was his shit. 

“Thank you,” Venus smiled, looking down to the books. “I’ll just buy both. I need more books for my bookshelf anyways. And more books to read. I’ve read the ten books I bought a month ago already, so it’s time to replenish. Not tonight, though. I know it’s near closing time, yeah?” he questioned softly, red orbs turning back to Jae. “Do you need me to scare out the other two people? I pull a mean intimidating face,” he smiled innocently, show his fangs but in a friendly manner.

❧reunion of friends ☙

[heovenus-bb-blog]

bbxpseonghwa‌:

  Seonghwa sat there in silence, simply watching his past lover and eternal friend prepare everything. The scent of fresh blood entered his nose in the most delightful way, his mouth immediately watering and craving for the food coming his way. For his own sake he didn’t let his eyes wander too much, simply took in the fact that he was once more reunited with his long time friend and companion. Even though a bit of his heart still wept over lost love, the pure blood decided not to burden the other with a past that only seemed like yesterday to the both of them. He never wanted to burden the other male with bygone matters, although he wished to know why Venus had left. 

  For some time he blamed himself for not being enough for Venus, maybe a bit too boring and not enough fun to mess around with. Just some old pure blood, who could not set aside his past emotions for a useless lover and more of a burden than anything else. Then his thoughts had turned to somehow blame the other vampire, even though those feelings and ideas didn’t have a fertile ground to flourish on. Between them there had not been any kind of negative emotions, reason to quarrel or have the beings of hate take root. Instead there had been something Seonghwa only much later noticed - true unquestioned feelings, which he hadn’t noticed before. In the end Seonghwa had simply given up on understanding and used as resource if or when he needed to play a love torn man. By the time his acting career was in full swing, his past relationship seemed to show a layered side that he grew to appreciate as he continued to harbour  love for Venus. 

  As Venus started to tell his story, Seonghwa felt his heart sink painfully and his eyes seemingly welling up with tears he had not cried for centuries. His mouth fell open and truthfully was at a loss what he should say, because nothing would be enough or even start to make things better. Looking at the man he loved, maybe not as he had, but the lingering blossoms of affection remained within his heart. Every word seemed to only be a weapon to carve a deeper wound into his heart, pain filling his existence along with blame that he wasn’t there to help Venus. He didn’t continue his search and instead selfishly moved on with his own life, not using his fame to find Venus or the current power he held in the entertainment business. With a quivering lip the pure blood moved forward to wrap the other in a tight hug, as his own emotions took hold of him and loud uncontrollable sobs passed over his lips. At first nothing he said made any sense, because his high pitched sobs and pained sounds drowned out any words his vocal cords tried to form. 

  “I am so sorry Venus,” he finally choked out, voice broken as more tears fell from his eyes and not moving an inch away from the man he still so deeply cared for. Hiding his face in Venus neck, Seonghwa tried his best to calm and collect himself only to realise new sobs broke from him. “I wish I could have been there and protected you. Looking for you a bit harder and murdered anyone, who chose to hurt you in such a brutal and unneeded way,” he babbled on as tears streamed down his face, unable to hold back how much his heart hurt. “I knew deep down you hadn’t simply left me, but the reality which happened to you breaks my heart even more. You have gone though so much and I wasn’t there…I should have been. I should have done more…” Even now he couldn’t break away from the hug, clinging onto the man for dear life and hoping he wasn’t being too much for the other.

Venus knew Seonghwa was going to cry. He knew he’d blame himself, because Seonghwa was still that vampire Venus had fallen in love with. He looked to him sadly, allowing him to cry because there was nothing he could do. He was going to sob, he was going to blame himself, when Venus didn’t even blame him. All he could do was old the vampire close, giving him a small squeeze. He gentle ruffled his hair whenever he pressed his face into his neck. “Shh, it’s fine. You’re fine. I don’t blame you, Seonghwa, so don’t blame yourself, okay?”  He gave his thin body a small squeeze, pulling back to smile to him reassuringly. “It isn’t your fault. You would have been taken to, and honestly? I rather me be taken and withstand all that than you. It’s not so bad, I mean, I just... can’t be touched without warning and can’t feel pain, but that’s only just a boner killer, since you know I loved pain in a sexual manner. Otherwise it’s fine... I just, can’t get hurt. I mean I can but like, if you stabbed my hand, it won’t hurt me. Want to see?” he offered, trying to cheer him up by encouraging him it was okay. And it was. The past was the past.  “As far as the nightmares and flashbacks, they aren’t bad anymore. It’s okay. I’m okay. Okay?” he continued, “Don’t feel bad, because I rather go through it than anyone else. Especially you. You being there would have made it so much worse, because I couldn’t have helped you.” He didn’t know what to do, other than to continue to remind him, it wasn’t his fault.

He hated this, the lasting mark of him leaving lingering on their relationship. It was a sticky feeling, suffocating and growing in his lungs and the distance was there. He’d moved in with Venus months ago, yet nothing felt, right. It was as if they were roommates, sleeping leagues apart in the same bed. Touches didn’t linger like they used to, kisses didn’t suck the air out of his lungs, but the love was there, he was sure of it. About something about Minho leaving, left them scrambling to put pieces back together that just didn’t fit with out him. He missed him.

The studio was closed for the day and Xavier spent it cleaning in all his vampiric glory, no fake teeth, or contacts, his full body exfoliatent had gotten rid of the lingering remnants of self tanner and he simply was just being. He felt like an empty shell, even as he laid there in their bed, expensive sheets wrapping around smooth hairless legs and Xavier’s little shorts hugged his thick thighs and Venus’ shirt draped over his form, the soft sound of an old French movie fill the room. He’d cried a lot today, scared that his relationship was nearing its end and losing another half of him seemed to hurt more than any death anyone could cause.

It was the soft sound of the door closing behind who he could only guess was his boyfriend, the tale tell sound of boots across the hard flooring as he approached their bedroom. Xavier sat up, wiping his swollen eyes and ruffling through dark locks, staring at the door waiting for that beautiful, beautiful man to walk in. “Baby,” he said softly when door open scooting off the bed to greet him, arms wrapping around his form, “can we talk when you get settled?”

[heovenus-bb-blog]

When Venus entered his penthouse, he could hear the soft sound of a French movie playing. Xavier was home. He kicked his shoes off, ready to simply curl into bed and sleep. The day has been awful at Win Win Cafe. A manager had called out, so he had to go in himself to work. He usually didn’t work the days, but at least that meant he got time with his boyfriend. Venus knew he was lacking. 

Immediately, Venus’ eyes ran over Xavier when he entered their now shared room.  He was a beauty, always was. From his lips, his nose, his hips, right down to his thighs. He was a goddess, and Venus loved him so much. So seeing him, swollen eyes, red from obviously crying, those beautiful, red orbs staring at him sadly, and a stuffy nose. The sound of his voice. It all made his heart hurt. He wished he could take everything that ever hurt Xavier away. “Of course. Let me change, then we’ll talk, yeah?” he smiled weakly, reassuringly. But it could show his own stress. 

Ever since he had left, they hadn’t been the same. They had been distant, sad, mourning the loss of a boyfriend they shared. They both missed him. Venus just wasn’t good at talking about emotions, especially romantic emotions. And maybe that was why Xavier was upset. Maybe he was planning on leaving. The vampire couldn’t take the thought, even as he moved to kiss his forehead, fingers shakily brushing against his cheek. 

He turned, face immediately falling. He knew. He knew this was going to be when Xavier broke up with him. And Venus, would simply let it happen, because if he wasn’t happy, then he shouldn’t stay with him. He changed quickly, slipping into the bathroom really quick, before coming out in his own pajamas. The vampire slipped on the side of the bed beside his boyfriend, patting his lap. “C’mere. Does this have to do with why you’ve been crying, my love?”

Jae-eun sat patiently as he waited for his coffee. It was probably stupid of him to be drinking it so late but he wasn’t planning on sleeping that much anyway. It felt like ages since he last had a good night’s rest. His eyes flicked up to the door as it opened and he immediately took in the pallor and strange condition of Venus’s skin. As the other took the seat across from him Jae-eun wasted no time. “Venus, when was the last time you drank? You look like death warmed over.” He kept his tone light so as to not draw attention but there was just enough concern in it for Venus to know he was being serious.

[heovenus-bb-blog]

Venus was quiet, as he sat, weak, tired, hungry, and ultimately, he just wanted to go home, sleep, nurse a cup of blood, and sleep some more. But he couldn’t. He had to work. And work was killing him. He hardly even had time to eat. Well, real blood anyways. Trublood. Which he hated. And it usually just did this to him, because he never ate all of it, or often. He was also out of blood bags at home and didn’t have time to buy some more. So, yeah, he hadn’t exactly eaten a good meal in quite some time. Apparently, it was being noticed. Or maybe, Jae-eun was just a quick eye. “I drank some Trublood this morning, but it kind of tastes like shit, so I only drank like 2 sips. Then I’m busy and only have time to go home, let Aku out and feed, otherwise he’s being taken care of by Xav, and then like, I don’t have any bloodbags. So, probably, a proper meal? Week and a half, probably,” he murmured, closing his eyes. “I’ll be fine. I’m hiring a new manager that starts soon, so hopefully things will settle down.”

— remember (venus & suho)

@heovenus-bb

Time became an oddity at some point in life — years seemed to sweep by quickly, days raced past, and faces came and went. Much like the years and days, people and faces blurred together, with only a few remaining recognizable; familiar features and forms that flickered in his memories often, triggered by the simplest of things. A sight, a sound, a scent — and sometimes they were thoughts that warmed the heart, a feeling of content with life, while others slowly brought about a lingering feeling of melancholy. By no means did junsu see himself as superior just for what he was, and often times, he could look back at his life with some regrets; times that he wished would return, connections that no matter how strong had been lost, ones that left a quiet ache that made itself present and vibrant now and again.

And for some, he thought all was lost — but he knew better than to think that way, especially for his own kind; but nonetheless, a wave of memories and emotion, a storm of thoughts from a long time passed would inevitably crash into him, almost panicked by the sight of a face that once he had looked over, almost like a father, before time took its toll and split him from a promise he had meant to keep, but one that now had gone long unattended to.

“Venus..?”

[heovenus-bb-blog]

Though his life compared to some short, Venus truly had experienced heartbreak throughout the years. From lovers, from friends, and from people who he would consider family. Junsu was the last one. Family. A falling out centuries ago had left him aching to just hug the vampire one last time. He couldn’t even remember why they had fallen out, why they had been so angry at each other. Maybe they had just been hot headed. But right now, seeing the face of a person he could truly call a father had left him... well, he wanted to cry the second he saw him. 

 He stayed calm though, eyes trained on the person as he walked inside of Win Win Cafe, heart speeding up. He probably didn’t recognize him. But once he did, Venus smiled. “Long time no see?” he murmured, standing there. He felt like a little kid. He felt as if he was back in that bar full of blood and dead bodies, looking up to see someone who could help. He resisted the urge to fling him into a hug. “How... How have you been?” he decided to ask. His eyes shifted to around the cafe. Thankfully, they weren’t busy.

“Tonight, have fun let the worries of tomorrow go away.  not that I’m good at that or anything” he laughed taking a sip of his drink.  He looked around at the crowd every one seemed to be having fun.  He wasn’t sure when the last time he let loose like that even was.   "I think just have fun tonight is what I want out of today" 

“I have no one to even spend tonight with,"  he said,  "Normally id be home with my cat watching movies.  Something tells me I was never big on holidays like this."   he thought about the offer to soul search and shrugged.  “I think working helps me a bit you know.  I don’t feel like I'm not doing something.  I need to be working I think”

“Then work, you’re the only one who would want to, tonight,” Venus teased softly, nudging him with his shoulder. “I get that though. I’m over my party days. I rather be home with my dog. You know, the cute little fluff ball, Aku? Yeah, I miss him all the time when I’m at work. I wish I could just bring him everywhere, he loves people,” he sighed softly, taking another sip of his drink. “But have some fun, okay? We’re working, but fun. Fun. You have to have some. Find a random stranger to kiss at midnight or something.”

[yejunxmaneo]

With over two hours until his next class, YeJun sat in a booth at Win Win Cafe for a late lunch. His mouth was full of something random he ordered off the menu, but whatever it was tasted good and kept him coming back for another bite. He had one headphone in and his phone in front of him playing a video of a pair dance routine. Some of the moves would be difficult for his older students to pull off, yet YeJun spotted places he could edit to fit their dance levels. 

A noise pulled him away from his phone screen causing him to look up at whoever was taking a seat nearby. Ever the overly friendly hybrid, YeJun paused his video to say hello.  The only problem was his mouth was still full and his words came out nothing more than a garble. He took a sip of his water to swallow his sandwich down. “Lemme try that again,” he said with an awkward, wide smile, “Hi.” 

[heovenus-bb-blog]

Venus was tired. And tired, was an understatement. His managers had been calling out, which he understood, and he was, well, stressed. He had to work overtime that week, twenty-four hours, exactly, and had someone watching Aku. Now, he was going on his second day, and he just needed to sit. With a cup of coffee and a cup of blood and a small snack. His eyes closed, for just a moment, trying to relax against the chair. 

Then, his silence was broken whenever he heard someone speak, holding his sigh inwards. Though, the person sounded friendly enough, he was just exhausted. His eyes opened, leaning to prop his head on his hand to look to the person. “Hello,” he smiled at the customer. “How are you?”

bbxpseonghwa‌:

   Venus has been the vampire Seonghwa met just after his first love had left him in the dead of the night, the person to pick up the pieces and show the pure blood there was fun in life. They had traveled together, naturally growing close over sharing hotel rooms and more often also a bed - what was first only physical, soon enough turned into a strong emotional bond. They had been boyfriends for what only seemed a blink of an eye before Venus left rather the same way that Seonghwas first loved had left. It only now occurred to him that both men had left him in the dead of night, heart in pieces and mind secluding itself from the world. After Venus he did just that once he stopped looking for the older vampire, heart aching ever so painfully - a lot more than it had when his first love had left. A fact that Seonghwa had not put much meaning on, yet right now threw up several questions and those he did not know how to reply to. 

   Instead he walked more into the apartment, one which oddly enough didn’t scream Venus to him immediately and yet with small details you could see it. “I always have time for you - eternity if need be. Don’t you remember, my promise?” he asked nearly shyly, not sure if after all this time it meant anything to Venus. Yet Seonghwa has promised to the other that he would always find time to listen to the other, even if it was under the burning sun - he would be there. At times the pure blood could seem very wide eyed and naive, but his promises were never made out of a mood or to please - that at least had to had been clear to Venus. Now the vampire doubted it, standing in the apartment little awkwardly and with his tall built it stood out even more, especially as he fidgeted. Something he barely and rarely did, yet right now could not help himself. 

   “I have kept human blood away from me just to show the public a more acceptable image. Somehow humans get unsettled and nervous when they know that human blood was nearby and someone like me drank it instead of coffee. Especially the older people, as if I wanted a bite from their necks. No.” he spoke, much more rambled on as he was nervously looking around a space that he wasn’t familiar with. Naturally he noticed the sketch book and a males face, one which had been drawn with great care and detail. Seonghwa with a ping of pain in his heart remembered that Venus used to sketch him and spend hours perfecting everything. A part of him, one which he thought has died or lay in endless slumber, somehow awakened with misplaced jealousy. The pureblood was not ready for such messy emotions to arise from a simple meeting with Venus - a goof friend, an amazing listener, a lover, a boyfriend. 

   Frowning upon the others words, he grew increasingly worried and also feeling like he ought to have looked more for the man in question. “Venny…you…I mean if you don’t want to tell me all then you don’t have too. I just…have you been hurt badly?” he asked in such a soft kind nearly pained voice, finally taking a seat as honestly Seonghwa felt this way he felt somewhat grounded. “No spices thank you. For now I want the pure taste and maybe later some with a good amount of cinnamon or coriander.” His eyes moved about the room, landing back on the sketch several times and wondering who that exactly was. Also what meaning he carried for Venus - though the pure blood wasn’t sure he really wanted to know all of that information, just like wasn’t quite sure he wanted to know about the photo album. With painful clarity he realised Venus had lived and loved in his life, others having carried meaning and Seonghwa wasn’t sure what to feel anymore. It somehow hurt more than losing his first love and it didn’t make sense to him. 

Venus smiled at the reminded, the promise. To be there for eternity. It made his check ache, and he had to take a deep breath to keep himself from choking up. Had it really been that long? Over a century. And he hadn’t seen Seonghwa once. He bit his lip as he poured his wine, after Seonghwa’s blood. He sat everything on a tray, taking a deep breath. Now was better than ever to bring up the past, when he was already suffering deeply with his current lovers. If only those humans had taken out his emotional pain as well.  “No, it’s fine-- I’ll tell you,” He insisted softly, taking a deep breath, and letting it out slowly. He closed his sketch book, pushing it to the side, and not casting a glance to his phone as it lit up with a text once more. He just flipped it over, tossing it to the side. “Just, give me a second,” he added, still just as soft, as his he took a sip of wine. 

“I didn’t leave you,” he started, looking to Seonghwa’s face. He smiled sadly. “I didn’t. Eternity. Remember? I wouldn’t leave.” He wanted to make that clear, because he knew Seonghwa’s past. He knew it hurt, and he hated that the other vampire most likely thought of him like that. “I was taken. By a group of humans. They used vervain to drug me and keep me contained and-- I was hurt, really, really badly,” he explained softly, keeping his eyes down. His fingers tightened on his knees. “For forty years, they kept me. Contained and drugged and they did... experiments. And tests. They were fascinated by vampires, I think one was a hybrid or something, I don’t know, but they knew vampires existed, and they weren’t scared. And they were curious and had no morals, or they didn’t view vampires as humans but as animals and even then, why would you treat an animal in such a way?” he rambled, closing his eyes as he thought about it all. He still didn’t understand.  Flashes ran through his mind. The events, the pain, the torture. He was surprised he wasn’t mad. Or maybe, he was, but simply in a way that meant he was broken. He had to shift, placing his head into his hands. “They would-- they’d cut me open. Inject me with bleach and other substances, in an IV, to watch it burn me alive, and see how I wouldn’t die. And it fucked me up, Seonghwa. It fucked me up badly. Sometimes I dream about it, and I can still feel their hands-- their fucking hands in my stomach, and my guts being played with like toys. I don’t know what they did, or if it’s just high pain tolerance, or, something, I don’t fucking know, but-- because of them, they took away my ability to feel pain. I think maybe that was their gain, but I don’t know. I just know, I can’t feel a damn hint of pain.” He took a deep breath, trying to keep calm as he spoke, but it brought back such bad memories. “I went back to Paris, after I got out, in 1940, looking for you... I was hoping maybe, you were there-- but, you weren’t, or I couldn’t find you, and-- I didn’t know where to go. But I didn’t leave. Not like your dick of a first lover. I didn’t. I was taken on a walk when I couldn’t sleep. I would never leave you.”

“Oh yes, sorry id love that”  he smiled warmly.  he hated cold and stale tea.  he also felt bad though since he hadn’t even touched the first cup. “I am sorry I ignored you when I start a song I get sucked in hence the cold tea"  he sighed shaking his head. 

Setting the notebook on the table he looked around.  He wondered how many of the patrons still here were human.  How many were vampires or Hybrids, like him? He knew he should head back to his place to get some rest but he liked the nightlife. 

Venus shook his head, chalking up his sudden annoyance to simply lack of sleep. He had been busy for a bit the night, or well, previous days before. And given the drama currently undergoing in his life, he was a bit... short. “No, no, it’s okay,” he smiled, weakly. He waved away the apology.  “What did you have?” he asked, tilting his head to the side. He gently picked up the cold mug, awaiting his response.

kxjae-bb‌:

“With your looks I’m surprised you’re not a idol or actor.” Jaehyuk was glad his face was already tinge pink because the words that came out of his mouth were far more embarrassing than stumbling on a ladder. The student felt convinced it was the sleep deprivation and the mental exhaustion that took away his filter. Before too long he’d probably be stumbling along too tired to stand. Yet, it’d be at least an hour before he could get out of the store. Then probably another hour to get home and eat dinner. 

“You know Hanuel? He’s a great boss to have, really. There’s never been a time he wasn’t understanding about my class schedule and the pay’s not too bad either.” He stood there next to the vampire listening to the soft low voice. “Well, if you can’t tell me what the book title just describe the artist and the cover. I might know which one you want. I spend enough time in these shelves I could surprise you.” 

Venus raised an eyebrow, smirking a bit at the words. And idol or an actor. “Haven’t thought about that, but I do know someone who use to be an actor,” he murmured, stuffing his hands into his pockets. “Of course I do, though, I kind of make it a habit to know business owners around Seoul. It’s good to keep connections going, in case a partnership is ever wanted or needed through events or expansion, anyways. Plus, he’s really nice. Vampires tend to know each other,” Venus shrugged, shifting on his feet. 

He really didn’t feel like bothering Jaehyuk. But, after a moment, he finally sighed, nodding. Maybe the boy needed something to do. “It’s a book, on Caravaggio. Also mentions a lot of stuff about the Italy Baroque period. I know most of it, really, but there’s just some small details. Plus, it would be a good refresher. It’s a medium sized book,” he explained softly, sending the boy a smile.

bbkangs‌:

“No animals?” There was a moment of silence following his confession. She was evidently confused. If not animals, how does he eat? Her father engraved the ‘no humans’ rule in her mind to the point of it becoming unethical to even dream of depriving a human from their life. Although, there is now a law protecting humans, it’s rarely followed. “How do you stay alive then?”

It took a second, but nonetheless, the realization earned a gasp before Sungmi is seen scrambling to get rid of the animal. But where do you hide a forty-four pound roe deer? Out the window that is. After a few laps around the mammal in panic and confusion, she rushes to the sliding doors of the balcony to pull open before turning back. She’s youthful and agile. Sometimes a sudden idea is acted out before being processed, and her immortal abilities doesn’t give others a chance to act in time either. With much little difficulty, the animal was picked up and thrown off the seventh floor. The glass door slid to a close, muting the feminine high-pitched screams from the street.

Another gasp was given at the sight of the blood pool. Her brilliant idea of removing that was to dive in it; to allow her clothes to soak in the liquid. She wore an apologetic, goofy grin whilst gazing up through puppy-like eyes at her friend.

“How can you feed from a human?”

This is new to her. All of her vampire friends feed off of humans, but it was never discussed so it was forgotten. Human blood? She spent the beginning of her life terrified of humans and their egocentric behaviours. They’ve burnt her mother, tossed her into a cage, and made her feel guilty of being born. There’s a hidden anger towards them that’s awaiting an opening and she’s oblivious to it. A dam made of aging lumber. All it needs is a crack and it will divulge. There is a darkness to every light after all. However, she swears to never hurt one. But they’ve hurt her.

Venus didn’t have much time to react at all. The deer was tumbling out of the window, the screams were heard, and he let out a small sigh. He really did have a lot to teach Sungmi. He wasn’t angry, no, not at all. In fact, if it wasn’t for the death of the animal, he would probably have found this amusing. Except for the fact that now, Sungmi was covered in blood, and she most certainly couldn’t stay in that. There was an innocence to Sungmi that made him incredibly fond of her. To protect her. It was the whole reason he had become her friend in the first place. 

“It’s okay, Sungmi, thank you for trying to offer dinner,” he smiled, finally allowing Aku back down, despite his bloody paws. He’d clean later. “I’ve always had human blood, even when I lived with my parents. My parents taught me to never kill, but to only take a small amount. It’s a risk, really, but it was what they believed in. My mother was human herself, once, so she allowed my father to see a different side to humans, and therefore, raised me on human blood-- but only to take what I needed. And, really, to fear them,” he explained softly, moving to where Sungmi lay. He offered a hand to her. 

“Then humans killed them and a vampire showed me that I needed to stop fearing humans, and instead, kill them. So... for a while I killed them. Enjoyed it some,” he murmured, biting his lip as he spoke. “And, human blood, just tastes... good. I guess? Nowadays, I only drink from the bagged blood, but it’s still human. I can’t drink the synthetic shit.”

History Repeats || Eunae&Venus

Night shifts would be the death of her. That was the only thought which Eunae had the strength to muster as she walked down the cold, night-painted streets. Street lamps lit he way for her, casting the ground in it’s vulgar, orange, artificial light which served little purpose but make the shadows seem darker, deeper and more imposing.

However event that did not bother Eunae tonight. Normally she would be terrified at what looked in the dark, regardless whether if they had fangs or not. Her friends, what few remained at least, told her she should get the bus or get a taxi. However they didn’t know, they could not comprehend that the thought of doing that terrified her even more. For all the tough front she put up, the truth was Eunae had many fears. Many anxieties. Life had not necessarily been cruel to her, yet at the same time it hadn’t exactly been kind.

She placed a cigarette between her lips and lit it. Not with a fancy zippo like so many other smoker around her used, she did not have the money to justify spending on that, just with a cheap disposable one she acquired from the staff room at work. Someone would miss it, but it wouldn’t be her. She quickly scanned the contents of her cigarette packet as she took a deep drag, coughing slightly as she did.

A sigh escaped her lips, three left. There wasn’t even a shop open at this ungodly time of night for her to pick anymore up. Whose idea was it to have a shift finish at three in the morning anyway? She quietly resigned herself to having to go to the shops as soon as she got up at whatever time she dared drag herself out of bed at.

Eunae was about to return the cigarette packet to the front pocket of her tunic when something startled her, dragged her, the lit smoke dropping from her lips, burning her chin as it fell, the packet being crushed under foot as she found herself down one of the shadowed alleyways, back pressed up against a wall so forcibly that she felt the brick scratch her back through her clothes.

A startled yelp escaped her lips before a hand clamped over her mouth, filthy, thick fingers pinching her cheeks and filling her nose with the smell of decay.

How had she let her guard down so easily again?

It was late. The type of late that even vampires wouldn’t bother being out at this time. A time between the sunrise and darkness of the night where no creature was suppose to be up. Sleep tugged at Venus’ limps, his eyes hurt, and for once, he regretted not driving to Win Win Cafe for his shift. It had been unexpectedly busy, vampires and humans, throughout the night, So naturally, yeah, Venus was exhausted. He felt like his age on these nights.

A white cloud passed his lips as he walked, stuffing his hands into his coat pockets to keep them warm-- even if it wasn’t much of a bother to him. IT wasn’t freezing, nor was it really that big of a deal for vampires. But still, his hands did get chilly. He was dreaming of a warm bath, something relaxing, maybe a warm cup of blood, and snuggling up with his dog. What a wonderful time that would be. After work, no concerns, no worries. 

That thought was bitterly picked out of his head whenever he heard a yelp. A soft one, one that would barley be heard if he wasn’t a few alleys away on the other side. Also, a yelp that wouldn’t be heard with human ears. But no, his heightened senses allowed him to easily hear the startled cry. Part of him said to simply ignore it, but his guilty conscious, an innocent person. He couldn’t. He sighed, running a hand throat his hair before turning down the alleyway where the sounds (and current sounds) were coming from. 

It didn’t take long for him to notice the two figures, particularly one, he could sense the negative present. The way he with-strained the other individual--the smaller and weaker one. A female. It didn’t take rocket science to figure out just exactly what was occurring. He quickened his pace, making sure his steps were silent. Then, once he reached the man, he immediately tore him off of the woman. This sent the man flying backwards, hitting against the other wall. 

“If I wasn’t so tired, I’d make you eat your fucking hands,” he grumbled as he neared the man, who was probably stunned, but not stunned enough to begin reaching for the gun on his hip. Venus rolled his eyes, snatching it away quickly. He tossed it, before sending a kick to his chest. “You’re...” he shook his head, but didn’t continue. He instead jerked his hand, fingers tangling in the man’s hair, and effectively, decapitating the man. His body slumped. Venus took a step back, tossing the head towards the trash bags, before sighing. 

Finally, he allowed his attention to fall onto the woman. She seemed familiar, but he doubted it even mattered. “Here,” he murmured, tugging off his jacket. He knew she most definitely did not want to walk home in torn clothes without something covering her. He couldn’t do much about her pants. Then, he turned his eyes away. “How far do you live? I can walk you. I’d prefer if you allowed me, so I know you don’t get jumped again.”

my own peace

Donghyuk stretched as he worked on his song.  He liked to work in Win Win cafe he was never bothered.  He knew some people recognized him but he was always left alone.  left to his thoughts his own world where music lived.  He looked up when he saw a shadow fall across his note.  He heard them say something but not sure what it was.

“Ok I’m going, to be honest, I didn’t hear a word you just said” Donghyuk tucked his notebook away.   ‘I get pulled in when I work” He looked around the cafe for a bit and stretched it was getting late or early if you were a vampire.  He looked at his tea and sighed it was cold and stale.

Venus, being the overachieving individual he was, didn’t actually care to ask anyone for a refill. He did, indeed, give refills on certain drinks, such as tea, so naturally, being one of the only people around to help out aside from one cashier and one barista, it was his job to ask for refills.  And that’s just exactly what he was doing, when he was confronted by the bluntness of someone. He raised an eyebrow. It rubbed him the wrong way, but he still smiled, reminding himself-- be polite. This was a customer. “I was asking if you wanted a refill.”

A heat rushed up the back of Jaehyuk’s neck to his cheeks at knowing someone had indeed watched him nearly bust his ass. It was another embarrassing memory to add to the list growing list of clumsy accidents he was prone to. “Thank you,” he replied tilting his head down in a quick bow and a sheepish smile. “I would say I’m normally not falling off step stools but that would be a lie.” He had an ongoing fight with stairs in general, so it was only natural he wouldn’t get along with step stools or ladders. 

Jae blinked, eyes wide and mouth dropping into a small ‘o’ before closing again. If his ears hadn’t betrayed him, the student was positive the customer just openly admitted to being a vampire. Sure vampires came into the bookstore from time to time, but that didn’t mean Jaehyuk couldn’t keep his curiosity down to more than a simmer. He needed to say something, but the words escaped him, so he moved away from the shelf. “Sorry,” Jae finally got out, “I’m probably in your way. Are you looking for a specific book? I can get it if you need.” He spoke quickly trying to get his words out in a one breath. 

Venus raised an eyebrow at the shape of the younger’s mouth. A surprised look. It didn’t take a genius to pick it up, and being a vampire, yeah, well, he could pick up things easily nowadays. After watching humans and their reactions, it was easy to pick up a simple emotion of surprise. “Surprise I’m not a doctor or something?” he questioned amusingly. He figured it was just him being a vampire. Which, Venus never understood. His fangs and eyes usually gave it away. 

“No, I don’t need much help finding it. I know Hanuel, and come in here a lot, so don’t worry. I’ll be out in like five minutes,” he murmured, waving the help away. “Just an art book. I want to refresh my memory of an artist’s biography. It was in a certain book, I only remember the cover, so there’s no reason to ask for help, since I can’t even give a proper name.”
