sweet lies.
a sad little starter for @vaskihwan ♥
Her hands are shaking and she feels them colder than usual when she presses her fingertips against her lips, a clear sign of the nervousness and anxiety that she’s feeling. She can’t take her eyes away from the door which she knows he can come out of any time, and every little sound of opening doors makes her heart beat faster in hopes that it’s him. But it’s not. She’s sitting on a chair in the waiting room, and she completely forgets about the people around her, glancing at her and giving her some judgemental stares even though they’re probably shaking in their boots at the discovery of what she truly is.
And the reason why she’s so nervous is exactly that: they know she’s a vampire, and she’s afraid they have already told Kihwan about it. That makes her want to run and hide, afraid of what his reaction might be --- she has always planned on telling him the truth, but she never found a way to do it without the worry that he might hate her afterward. She doesn’t want to lose him, but she’s starting to think she already has and she hates herself for not being honest since the beginning.
But then again, would he still have fallen in love with her if she had told him from the beginning? Would they be as close as they are now? Would she have any chance?
Ahreum’s thoughts are interrupted by the sound of the door she has been staring at for the last couple of minutes, and her eyes widen when she sees him --- oh, and the sight of him breaks her heart... He looks desolated, and that’s something she never wished to see. Ever.
“Kihwan,” she says when she gets up from her seat, making her way towards him and resting her hands on his shoulders immediately when she’s close enough to him, her eyes are fixed on his and she barely blinks, trying to avoid the tears that have blurred her vision from falling down her cheeks. “Darling... How are you? Did they treat you well?” And her hands move from his shoulders to his face when she cups his cheeks carefully. “How are you feeling, my love?”
