Yonggeum followed close behind the bouncer although he wasnāt hard to lose with such a broad frame. Every aspect of the club atmosphere annoyed him to the point where he was agitated before heād even crossed the threshold. The music was too loud, the air was too hot and moist from all the gyrating bodies, the smell too sickly sweet and bitter from mingled perfumes, colognes and bad breath.
He firmly clamped his jaw shut and continued up the metal staircase, barely suppressing the urge to roll his eyes once he spied the red velvet curtain that was pulled aside for him. Of course, it would be red velvet. The Dragonblood narrowed his eyes at the notorious Dead Night, doing his best notĀ to look at his female companion, even if his gaze naturally wouldāve preferred to move in her direction. He didnāt bother trying to answer when the man asked who he was. He could be baited, but not that easily.
He was tested again almost immediately and Yonggeum nearly failed this time, eye twitching as the Sire treated the girl next to him in such a demeaning manner. What he found so distracting was not how Dead Night acted, but how the young vampire responded. Yonggeum allowed himself to observe her now that it was confirmed she was the one heād be accompanying that evening. Undeniably beautiful, Yong could see why sheād been chosen by the vampire, but there was an obvious vulnerability to her, a modesty that she couldnāt hide no matter how sexily she dressed. It made him wonder, and fear, how unwilling she mightāve been when her new life began.
Yong gave his attention back to Dead Night, the subtlest of nods signifying that he understood what was required of him. Golden eyes slipped back to Yeeun now that she was at his side. He didnāt answer her except to pull back the curtain so that she could pass through and he followed closely.
Once theyād emerged into the cool night air, Yonggeum took a deep breath and tried to calm the agitation that was fraying the edge of his nerves. He continued walking away from the club, leaving Yeeun to follow him since there wasnāt any way for her to know how their journey would commence from this spot. He listened closely to the click of her heels, adjusting his stride so that he wasnāt making it too hard for her to follow.
There was only one car parked on the side of the road, a sleek black sedan that very much looked like the vehicle someone important would use to travel in discreetly and securely. Yonggeum stopped at the passenger door, holding it open for the young vampire. Now that they were away from the deafeningĀ music, Yonggeum loosened up a bit, doing his best to lighten the mood a bit although, it definitely was not one of his strong suits.
āDo you have a name or should I call youĀ āLittle Thingā too?ā he asked drolly, the slightest of smirks pinching the corner of his lips.
Even Yeeun noticed the baiting tone in her Sireās voice, after being exposed to it plenty of times during her visits to his office. It was almost like his favourite way of greeting others -- to make them slip, to cut them off before they even started, to pointlessly provoke those he made deals with. It appeared that Yonggeum didnāt want to play the Sireās games, or perhaps he knew the Sire already? It would be out of place for Yeeun to ask in such an environment. For all the young girl knew, her escort could be similar to the horrible excuse of a man that turned her.
In Dead Nightās eyes, there was no further testing of Yonggeumās character after trying to trick him to being cut off. It was just a little bit of power-play. -- Was the most fun on those who were already scared. The way Sire introduced Yeeun was no different to how he would introduce her to anyone; vampire, beast-bloods, or even hunters. Yet there was a sudden tension in the air, it inviting the Sire to step back over and run his index finger along under Yeeunās jaw, tilting her chin up towards him.Ā āIāll give you a reward if you do well, Yeeun-ah,ā he drawled, staring down into the girlās eyes.Ā
You better fucking behave yourself.Ā
Yeeun shuddered. Never had he addressed her in such a way before, and never had her name felt so dirty.Ā āYes, Sire,ā she agreed in a quiet tone, her glazed eyes glued to his until he pulled away. Air filled back into her lungs in a soft gasp, attention focusing back on the stranger in the room.
The sudden pull of the curtain made the girl jump, casting a small glance back towards her Sire before heading outside, cautiously leading the man she didnāt yet know the name of. The heart of the club was as hot and sweaty as ever, and it was a miracle that Yeeun didnāt feel any thirst in the presence of so many temptations. At least, it wouldāve been a miracle if one didnāt take into account that she had been half forced to feed earlier on that day. One drop of blood was all it had taken for the young vamp to be hooked.Ā
Tugging at the hem of her dress, Yeeun followed her escort across to his car, uncomfortable in the outfit that her Sire had put together for her. Stiletto heels were not a style nor height that Yeeun was used to, and the sudden change of the uneven concrete under her feet made walking far more difficult than it should have ever been. The dress that wrapped around her delicate frame wouldāve left any other species feeling the cold chill in the air, but the vampire blood running through Yeeun was content.
Away from her Sireās gaze, Yeeun became more like herself, a faint scowl making itself present on her face before her bottom lip juts out to soften the harsh frown.Ā āPlease donāt call me that,ā she requested, not forgetting her manners regardless. Reaching out for the support of the carās door, she paused, taking a moment to glance up at her escort.Ā āMy name is Yeeun. How am I supposed to address you?ā
As if waiting for permission, she waited for a response before taking her seat on the passenger side, fitting the drug package into her purse. The car was far nicer than other vehicles that she had been in, it sparking a thought that her escort was undoubtedly rich. Curious fingers were drawn to various buttons, but stopped short when she realised that the other was probably watching.
āUm... So... Do you know the Sire well?ā
