“This vacation is long overdue.”

You couldn’t agree more as you took in a deep breath of fresh air, the sounds of rolling waves and seagulls all around. Not only were you finally taking a vacation from work, this was also a girls getaway. You had stayed close with your college friends, and you had all decided to reunite by renting a beach house and enjoying some sun. The place you were staying at seemed so welcoming and lovely, so you were all eager to explore. When you first arrived you just spent the day going around, enjoying good food and chatting with locals. This led you to going on a boat ride to see more of the area.

The captain spoke of the sea and the wildlife that the fishermen caught. There were a couple islands around too that one could visit and you all agreed to explore them some other day. Although there was one island that was quite far from the rest. You couldn’t help but ask about it, and the captain only laughed. They told you that the island was off limits as people who go there don’t tend to come back. You didn’t ask for anymore details, not wanting to know what kind of stories made the locals ban access to a whole island. When you returned to shore the sun was still shining and you all decided to go down to the beach and enjoy the water.

You returned to the house to get your swimsuits and then headed over. The cool water was refreshing although you wanted to bask in the sun so you separated from the group, going over to these rocks and climbing atop one. You closed your eyes and faced the sky, enjoying the warmth and peaceful atmosphere. After a while you suddenly felt that something was off and opened your eyes. It took a second but then you noticed someone in the water below, and it wasn’t any of your friends. For a moment you thought you were imagining things, but the person in the water moved closer, revealing themselves to be some guy.

“… hi…”

“You’re as beautiful as a goddess.”

“Uh… thanks…”

You weren’t sure how this encounter was going to go, but you didn’t expect that. The guy swam closer, climbing out of the water and onto the rocks. He carefully made his way over to your side, a warm smile on his face.

“What’s your name?”

“I’m y/n, what about you?”

“Jungwoo. It’s nice to meet you.”

“Likewise.”

“Are you visiting? You don’t seem familiar.”

“Yeah, just a girls trip.”

“Nice. You know, me and my friends could show you around, and there’s this big festival tomorrow night in the town square.”

“I appreciate the offer, but my friends and I have our own plans.”

“Well, if you change your mind I’m sure we’ll run into each other.”

“Maybe.”

Jungwoo chuckled and then grabbed your arm, pulling you along into the water. You yelled in surprise and then went under with him. You realised he let go, and as you tried to surface you felt a sting on your shoulder. You couldn’t see anything around you and just continued to swim up. Once you broke the surface you realized you were alone, but the pain in your shoulder remained. You glanced over to see what appeared to be a bite mark of some kind, but you couldn’t be sure. Jungwoo disappeared just as mysteriously as he appeared, but you had other things to worry about.

You swam back over to your friends, and they immediately noticed the bite mark. You felt fine, but everyone agreed you needed to get it checked out. Thankfully there was a clinic nearby and a doctor saw you right away. The doctor informed you it was an octopus bite, and it was harmless. You’d just need to apply some ointment and be careful in the water. At least this wouldn’t get in the way of your vacation, and everyone was relieved you were alright. It was late by the time you got back to the beach house, all of you deciding to order some food and unpack. The good times had only just begun.

🖤

The next morning you all went back into town, wanting to browse the morning market. There were fresh fruits and pastries, which really helped balance out the smell of the sea. The local fishermen were also present in the market, selling their fresh catches. You all discussed the idea of buying some groceries and cooking dinner when you suddenly ran into a familiar face.

“Told ya we’d run into each other.”

“Small town, I guess.”

“Oh, who’s this y/n?” Your friend Vik asked. “You know him?”

“Kinda. We met yesterday.”

“Seriously? When?”

“While-”

“The details don’t matter too much.” Jungwoo cut in. “I’m just glad to see you again. These must be the friends you mentioned before. It’s nice to meet you all, I’m Jungwoo. I was telling y/n before that my friends and I would love to show you around, free of charge of course. We know all the best places.”

Before you could really say anything to deter your friends from this, you could see they were all agreeing to the idea. Not to mention that a moment later some other guys came over, introducing themselves as Jungwoo’s friends. With everyone getting to know each other, and smiles all around, it was only normal you’d be hanging out with them for the rest of the day. It wasn’t really a bad thing, and you couldn’t blame your friends either. You were all single, and these guys were really pretty. This was a vacation after all, and there were many ways to have fun. Even if you had been a bit weary of this whole thing at first, they were great guides and very friendly. You were certainly growing to enjoy their company.

“There’s this great seafood restaurant out of town.” Taeyong suggested. “We should totally go. It’s not too far, and a party this big gets us a nice discount.”

“Yeah. The town is known for their seafood, and that restaurant is the best.” Johnny added. “You have to go to that place at least once during your stay.”

Given how they spoke highly of the place, there was no doubt you’d be going. You made a quick trip out of town, the restaurant placed right by the sea, having an open view and letting in some fresh air. You were all seated together, you with your girls and the boys on the other side of the table.

“We should get the seafood special.” Haechan suggested. “It’s like a sample platter with all the best stuff, and it’s well worth it. We can order a few for the table. That way you can try it all.”

You agreed with their suggestion, and they did not let you down. The food was good, plus add in a few drinks, and you were all having a good time. Of course this wasn’t the end as Yuta brought up the big festival in the town square happening that night. You had to pass through just to get back to the house, so you might as well stick around for a bit of it. Together you all returned, seeing the place decorated and filled with bright lights. Live music was playing, and many of the morning booths were now carnival games and other forms of entertainment. You didn’t even know what this festival was for, but you were already in a great mood, so it didn’t matter. Next thing you knew you had another drink in hand and were dancing in the center of the square with strangers.

At some point during all of that you had lost sight of your friends. That seemed to snap you back to reality, but it did not last. You were suddenly feeling dizzy, stumbling back in your steps. Something felt wrong as you felt yourself trembling, the drink in hand slipping from your grasp. Although you never heard the sound of glass breaking. Instead you found yourself backing into someone’s arms, looking up and vaguely able to make out Jaehyun’s face. When you opened your mouth to speak you felt the rim of a glass being pressed to your lips, a sweet liquid sliding down your throat. You gagged a bit but Jaehyun grabbed your chin to keep you still.

“You should finish your drink.”

You didn’t really have any strength to fight, swallowing down most of what was given to you. That’s when you saw the blurry face of Doyoung in front of you, holding up your glass and an empty one. You weren’t feeling much better, rather exhausted and struggling to stay on your feet. Jaehyun swiftly picked you up in his arms, holding you bridal style. You had no idea where he was taking you, but the sounds of the festival started to fade, as did the bright colors. You felt a bit cold, pressing yourself against Jaehyun with whatever strength you had. A soft chuckle escaped his lips, and you could feel the thrum of his chest. He was surprisingly warm.

“Look at her, she’s so cute.”

You could hear voices around you as you were set down on something soft. You think you were in some kind of room, but you still had no idea where. Sleep was tugging your eyes closed, but you didn’t want to fall unconscious when you had no idea what was happening. You felt hands trail along your body, some fingers intertwining with you, followed by soft wet kisses up your arm.

“I do like her.”

“But the question is if she’s good for us.”

“I don’t see why not.”

“We have to check first.”

Despite your state you could still understand somethings, like your shirt getting pulled up to expose your chest, warm hands slipping under your bra to squeeze your breasts.

“… stop… it…”

“Sh, we’re not gonna hurt you.”

“… hm…”

You lazily tried to get whoever was touching you off, but other hands grabbed yours, gently pinning them above your head. Then you began to feel hands pulling down your pants past your knees. You whimpered and tried to close your legs, but you just heard a bunch of giggles. Another hand dipped into your panties and down to your center, fingers rubbing against your folds, making you mewl.

“I think she’s good for breeding season.”

“So we’re gonna take her with us?”

“Not yet. We still have to prepare somethings, but we have time.”

“… stop… hm… please…”

“Sh, sh, sh, just sleep love.”

You were struggling to stay awake, but fighting with all your remaining strength. Even if you couldn’t keep your eyes open for long, you were still aware of the sensations all around. You shouldn’t be enjoying such things, but it was hard to resist the nice sensation. Although that wasn’t the focus for long as you felt something slimy against your lips, slowly pushing its way into your mouth. You gagged from the initial intrusion, but didn’t resist much. Whatever it was, it smoothly traveled down your throat, and you started to taste something sweet and warm. It seemed to be the last thing you needed to lull you to sleep as you finally slipped into the void.

🖤

You inhaled softly as you regained consciousness, snuggling against your pillow. Then as your senses began to return to you your eyes shot open and you sat up. You examined your body and saw yourself dressed in the same clothes from last night. You felt a bit odd, and when you looked around you saw you were in your room, you were back at the beach house. Although you didn’t remember making it back here at all.

“Y/n, you up?”

A knock at your door was followed by Misu sticking her head into the room, smiling when she saw you were awake.

“How you feeling?”

“What… uh… what happened?”

“We drank too much last night.” Misu chuckled. “I’m guessing you’re feeling the hangover right now.”

“Oh… yeah, definitely.”

“Let’s take it easy today. You wanna join us for a morning walk? The fresh air might help.”

“Yeah, let me just change first.”

“Got it.”

You needed a moment just to mentally prepare yourself to stand up. You remembered drinking last night, but not having one to many. Then again you wouldn’t really know when you crossed a line until the next day. You took a deep breath and got up, going to the bathroom and freshening up before changing and heading down to meet up with the girls. The morning air was nice and you all agreed on finding a nice place for breakfast. While walking around you bumped into Yuta and Mark, the two happily greeting your group.

“Good morning, ladies, how are you feeling?”

“More or less okay.” Lyla spoke. “Last night was real fun, thanks.”

“We’re glad you enjoyed yourself. We were actually on our way to meet up with our friends for breakfast, do you want to join us?”

“That sounds like fun, I’m in.”

You didn’t verbally agree, feeling a bit uneasy, but your friends were already dragging you along. Besides, the boys mentioned this place had hangover drinks, which you all needed right now. The rest of the boys were happy to see you and this time around you all sat intermingled with each other, meaning you wound up sandwiched between Taeyong and Jungwoo. The conversation was lively, but you didn’t feel like talking much, so you kept to yourself. That uneasy feeling hadn’t gone away either, if anything it had gotten worse now.

Since you weren’t really paying attention you didn’t realize the others had agreed on spending the day together again. It was too late to object, so you just followed along the group. The boys treated you to some street food, suggesting a climb up to the lighthouse. That did sound nice, and you were still happy to go. Thankfully there wasn’t too much attention on you, so no one was calling you out on your silence and trying to get you to engage. Or maybe they did notice but weren’t gonna push it since apparently you had too much to drink last night. The climb to the top of the lighthouse wasn’t too bad, and the view was certainly worth it. You could see the islands, and the breeze was so nice.

“Hey, I heard that one of the islands is off limits.” Ally asked. “What’s the story there?”

“Ah, you heard about that.” Taeyong chuckled. “Supposedly there are some scary monsters on that island, man-eating monsters. If you want, we can go visit, we’ll keep you safe.”

“There’s no need for that. I think we’ll pass on the offer.”

“Does that mean you have a boat?” Misu questioned.

“Yeah, you guys want to go for a ride? Or visit one of the other islands?”

“Yes, please!”

Another boat ride did sound nice, and you weren’t gonna kill the mood either. There were a few islands you could choose from, but ultimately you could go to one and back before sunrise. You all agreed to let the boys choose, and found yourself on an island that did a lot of farming. This is where the fresh fruits came from, and the farmers happily welcomed you. They seemed to know the boys and had a good relationship which made the trip easier. The farmers let you pick some fruit and enjoy them, suggesting you take some back with you free of charge. The quick visit was nice, and you returned to the mainland before sunset.

“Why don’t we grab dinner?” Mark suggested. “There’s this place that does ice cream desserts.”

You were feeling better compared to the morning, but that uneasy feeling hadn’t gone away. It was best to get dinner and go to bed on a full stomach so you had no problem following the group. Although you did wind up between Yuta and Doyoung this time.

“You should try this.” Yuta slid over some ice cream. “I think you’ll like it.”

“… thanks.”

After dinner you all parted ways, and you were glad to finally be back at the house. You said your good night to the girls and took a shower, making sure to point ointment on your octopus bite. It had mostly healed now, and would likely be gone by the time this vacation was over. Once you were clean you happily curled up under the blankets, quickly falling asleep.

🖤

The next morning was strangely quiet. You had gotten up and prepared for the day, only to discover the rest of the girls were stuck in bed, feeling sick. Something from dinner must have upset them, but you ate with them too, so you had no idea why you were fine. Thankfully it just seemed to be a stomach bug, and you told the girls you were gonna head out to get them medicine. As you were about to head out there was a knock at the door. That uneasy feeling came back, and you carefully opened the door.

“Morning.” Taeyong smiled. “How are you?”

“Fine… how do you know we were here?”

“Small town. Any plans for today?”

“Uh… no… the others are sick so I’m just gonna get them some medicine and make soup.”

“Oh, okay then, let’s go to the clinic and we can accompany you for grocery shopping.”

“I appreciate the offer, but I can go myself.”

“Sure you can.”

You didn’t like this situation, trying to close the door only for Johnny to place his hand on it and keep it open. All kinds of bad situations crossed your mind, and you were trying to keep your composure.

“Let go… please…”

“We came all the way here for you.” Haechan stated. “We’re not gonna leave without you.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t make things difficult.”

You were worried about your friends, but in the moment you were more fearful for yourself. So you ran, bolting for the back door and hoping to get away from them and get help. You didn’t dare look back, but you could hear footsteps chasing after you. Only when you turned a corner did you see out of the corner of your eye Johnny and Jaehyun chasing you. The sound of your heart pounding in your chest was the only thing you could hear. When you made it outside you thought you could really get away, only for a hand to grab your arm and yank you back.

It was all a blur for a moment, but you felt another sting on your arm and yelled. A hand quickly covered your mouth, and Johnny wrapped an arm around you, keeping your back pinned to his chest while he kept you quiet. You struggled for a moment, but your arm was burning, and your vision was starting to get hazy. You felt your strength leaving you, the bit of adrenaline from fear doing nothing to help your situation. Johnny’s hold on you loosened when you stopped fighting, and he picked you up in his arms. You weakly tried to push yourself away from him, but you had no strength to fight back.

Your vision was fading in and out, all you could see was Johnny’s face and the sky. Although after a while you began to hear the sounds of waves. You got worried, making more of an effort to move and vaguely able to recognize the boats around you. They had taken you to the dock, and you remembered they had a boat. You tried to break free as you realized this, but Johnny didn’t even pay you attention, knowing your efforts were in vain. You felt the slight rock of a ship, confirming that Johnny had boarded with you in hand, then he took you below deck. He set you down on a bed, telling you to rest and not to worry about anything, but that was easier said than done.

“… let… me… go… please…”

“Sh, sh, sh, you’re so cute like this. Just relax.”

“I… I said… let… go… please… please…”

“Y/n, just-”

You managed the energy to scream, even though you knew you should have done so before you were aboard the ship. Still, you were terrified and were desperate to do anything besides sleep. Although your cries of anguish were cut short as you felt something slimy slip past your lips and down your throat. It quickly gagged you, and the sensation was rather familiar. Your eyes were wide and you tried to grab whatever this was but Johnny stopped you. Whatever was going on, he was aware of it and was letting it happen. You squirmed, panic trying to overtake your senses until you got a taste of this sweet substance sliding on your tongue and down your throat.

“Sh, just relax, and close your eyes. Everything’s gonna be just fine.”

You shook your head, tears stinging your eyes, but Johnny didn’t change his tune.

“Take your medicine like a good girl and sleep. You have nothing to worry about.”

Despite your desire to fight you felt like this thing in your mouth was melting away your strength, slowly lulling you to sleep. Johnny only let go when he saw your body go limp, the slimy object from your mouth moving away. You gagged and took in a deep breath, the lingering sweetness on your tongue. You tried to move, but nothing happened. Instead Johnny draped a blanket over you, leaving you to rest. No matter how badly you wanted to stay awake, you couldn’t, your eyelids growing heavy and you slowly drifted off to sleep.

🖤

When you regained consciousness later you had no idea how much time had passed. You felt a bit groggy, but you had your strength back and could move once again. You slowly got up, noticing a curtain on the wall and reaching over to pull it back. It revealed a porthole, and all you saw on the other side was water. That, plus the soft motions of the ground, you were surely out on the sea by now. You didn’t really have a plan, but you certainly didn’t just want to sit around and wait for your kidnappers to return. You carefully opened the door to the room you were in, peeking out and seeing that no one else was present. You noticed a ladder down to your left and figured that would take you to the upper deck.

Once again you were careful as you climbed up, peeking your head out first to take in your surroundings. The boat appeared to be empty, and you weren’t sure what that meant. You slowly climbed out and onto the upper deck, remaining low and making your way to the ledge. From there you could confirm your worst fears. You were out on the water, and the docks were a ways away. Still, you had no other options, and figured you might be able to swim back. Either way, you wanted off this boat. You glanced around once more before climbing over the edge but before you could get into the water you were pulled back.

“When did you get up here?”

“Let go!”

Yuta had caught you trying to sneak off, but you weren’t just going to submit. You struggled to free yourself from his grasp, and the two of you ultimately wound up falling overboard. The water wasn’t freezing, but it was still cold. Although it was the least of your worries. You looked around until you noticed the docks and started swimming in their direction. You thought you could get some distance between you and the boat, only to be grabbed again and dragged under. Instinctively you fought back, only to get bitten on your arm again. You freed yourself and quickly surfaced, ignoring the pain and finding the docks once more.

You were desperate to get away, yet your movements began to feel stiff, and you found it hard to move at all. You didn’t know what was happening, but it didn’t matter as Yuta caught up to you, pulling you closer to him. He grabbed your arm and looked at the bite mark, and this time you saw the purple veins around it. This bite was poisonous. You started freaking out, but Yuta merely laughed, which didn’t help the situation at all. You couldn’t move much anyway, so he dragged you back to the boat.

“Relax. You’re not gonna die. That’s just a paralyzing agent.”

“What?”

“You won’t be able to move at all in a few minutes, so let’s get you out of the water before then.”

When you got back to the boat some of the others helped you get back in, wrapping you up in a towel and trying to dry you up. Now that you weren’t in the water you got a better look at yourself. Besides the second purple bite mark on your arm, you noticed marks on your legs and arm, similar to suction marks an octopus might leave behind. You thought Yuta had grabbed you back in the water, but this was something different. The marks on you suggested this creature to be huge, yet the bite mark was much smaller.

Then you thought back to the bite mark you had gotten at the house, you were nowhere near water, and you didn’t recall seeing an octopus either. You looked over that mark again, seeing a darker red ring around it. This one had likely done something to you as well. Before you could think about it anymore Doyoung and Jungwoo were taking you back down below deck. You could barely move, so for the most part they carried you, setting down some towels on the bed and laying you back down.

“… where… where are you… taking me…?”

“Some place no one will find you.” Jungwoo giggled. “Promise.”

“Jungwoo.” Doyoung scolded. “Just rest, everything will be okay.”

“Please… please don’t kill me…”

“We will do no such thing.”

They left you alone for what felt like eternity, and you couldn’t really fall asleep this time. Instead you could only lie there and wait. Eventually someone came back, Jaehyun and Mark. The two dried you up, wrapping you in a fresh towel before they took you to the upper deck. The sky wasn’t as bright anymore, and you realized the boat had docked. You managed to look out at the sea, unable to see much of anything.

“Where… where am I?”

“Somewhere safe. Don’t worry, we’ll protect you from the monsters.”

“Monsters…”

It dawned on you then that this place was likely the forbidden island. Your heart sank as you realized Jungwoo’s words were true. No one would ever find you here. You started sobbing, feeling some strength in your body, but not enough to get up and run, not enough to scream.

“No, no, no, don’t cry.” Taeyong cooed, kneeling down before you and wiping away the tears. “Nothing bad is gonna happen to you, I promise.”

“Please… please… take me back… I won’t…. I won’t tell… please…!”

“Sh. Let’s get you settled in first. You’ll stop crying then.”

You shook your head but it changed nothing. Johnny helped you to your feet and then picked you up in his arms, carrying you off the boat. Once you were on the beach he put you down, holding you up and letting you walk, leading you into the woods. Every step you took felt so heavy, but you couldn’t go back. After a while the trees and surrounding plant life revealed a giant body of water connected to a waterfall with a beautiful house in plain view. It was honestly stunning that for a moment you forgot why you were there.

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Johnny commented. “I think you’ll like it here.”

“… no…”

You heard laughter as some of the others ran past you and jumped into the water, going under and not surfacing. That put you on edge but it was only the beginning. Johnny pushed you forward and before you knew it you were walking into the water. He kept an arm around your waist, keeping you afloat when you could no longer feel the ground beneath you. Yet you began to feel something else wrapping around your legs. You screamed and held onto Johnny, but he merely laughed.

“I’m sure you’ll make a great mom.”

“Huh?”

Johnny pressed his lips to yours, pulling you into a deep kiss. You got a taste of the sweetness once more, your head starting to get fuzzy. Even if you didn’t want this, as your mind began to get hazy you found yourself kissing back, welcoming his touch. When he pulled back your vision was rose tinted and glassy, but you could make out the smile on Johnny’s lips. You suddenly felt a hand on your head, petting you, looking over to see Taeyong with a smile on his face too.

“Welcome to our world.”

“… hm…?”

Out of the corner of your eye you noticed something moving in the water, seeing some tentacles rising out of the water and curling around your arms. It finally dawned on you that these guys weren’t exactly human. Too many weird things had happened to you since you arrived and it was all building to this.

“… what… what are you…?”

“You’ll see.”

You felt something wet and slimy wrap around your neck, pulling you back. There was no denying what it was now, and one of those tentacles pushed its way past your lips and down your throat, another sweet substance overwhelming your senses. You started struggling to breathe and then you were yanked under the water. You panicked for a moment before you realized you were fine, you could breathe. The water around you rippled and you saw someone dive down into the water, then the tentacles around your legs pulled you down. It seemed to be dark the further down you went, but there was no escaping now. Perhaps you had been caged the moment they laid eyes on you.

🖤

“Isn’t she adorable.”

Yuta and Taeyong sat on the mini dock by the house, legs in the water. They could see you floating in the water, giddy and messing around with some of the others. You were covered in bites and tentacle marks, their proud handy work.

“She won’t try to leave, right?”

“How would she even get off the island? She doesn’t know how to drive a boat. Besides, in time, she might not even remember how to walk on land.”

“I like that idea.”

“She won’t be going anywhere any time soon. We’ve already pushed her into the depths of her own mind, I doubt she’ll surface easily. I mean, look at her, she’s so happy, why would she ruin that for herself.”

“You know how humans can be, free will and all that.”

“True, but this one, this one is ours.”

Keep Her Satisfied for the Weekend pt 1

Johnny x BLACK reader x Yuta

Genre:

Exes to lovers, fuck buddies to lovers, messy ass shit.

Summary:

Yuta and you are fuck buddies but what he doesn't know is that you're still fucking your ex boyfriend Johnny.

Warnings:

Johnny and Y/n are getting frisky in the closet

This is NOT edited. I hope you guys love this and have fun!

Johnny came into the house as people were gathered around, in and out your house. He has only one mission and that was to find you. For the past two weeks you were avoiding him. You were seeing each other- or fucking for two months now. He wants more than this he wants to be in a relationship with you again. There was one problem: Yuta Nakamoto. After you and Johnny broke up 8 months ago you had started sleeping with Yuta. Johnny knew Yuta wasn't into commitment so he advised you not to deal with him. As a result you ended back in Johnny's bed one night. When Yuta came back around you were sleeping with both of them and Johnny knew it. The only one in the dark was Yuta. When Johnny admitted that he still loves you, he didn't expect you to tell him that Yuta also confessed. Since then you were avoiding him, so now here he was at your birthday party to talk to you.

Johnny goes to the kitchen first to get a drink. He was a little nervous, he doesn't know how you'd react to seeing him. Since he crashed your party and he doubt you'd want people to know you were still talking. The last anyone heard about you two after the breakup you and Johnny weren't in contact.

Johnny scans the room looking for you when he spots you he sees you outside laughing. The glass doors gave him a perfect view as you were all dressed up. You were wearing a royal blue dress, a dress he bought you while you were together. He was going to go outside until he saw Yuta coming from behind you wrapping his arms around you. Johnny watches as you turn around and giggle. It made Johnny feel jealous. He glares at you and Yuta together, long enough for you to notice his presence. When you do Johnny sees you coming to him calmly walking over.

"What are you doing here Johnny?"

"You've been ignoring me so I came to see you" Johnny takes a look at his cup before downing whatever was in it. You look around making sure Yuta wasn't in view.

"Listen if this is about your confession but I more time-

"Listen I get it, I just never thought you'd choose Yuta over me? Unless he doesn't know does he?" His words caught you off guard and he wasn't done.

"He doesn't know how you came to me after he left does he?"

"Johnny-

"He doesn't know that I still fuck you does he?" You had enough there were too many people here and more importantly Yuta was somewhere around here so you drag Johnny away. You pull him into an empty closet upstairs. When you close the door you his hands touch your face. It was too dark to see but he touched your cheeks perfectly fine.

"He doesn't know you Like I do Y/n" your heart starts pounding but you move to turn on the light when you see his face you couldn't help but to lean in closer. His hands still on your face as Johnny pulls you closer closing the gap between your lips. You kiss back as if it was second nature to do so. You both don't stop as his hands wander your body, going downwards while you run your hands through his hair pulling him deeper into the kiss. Both your breathing getting heavy Johnny pushing you against the door. Johnny gets to your thighs he tries to pick you up but you snap back into focus. You let out a moan as you push away.

"Johnny we shouldn't" you say as Johnny place kisses along your neck he wasn't stopping until you push him off.

"Why because of Yuta? You want him in your bed that bad baby?"

"I- " "shhh baby how about I warm your bed for him hmm?" His body pushing against yours, he was almost hard.

"Fuck" you let out, pushing your body against his. Getting turned on by his words alone. His hands were touching you, sure, but his voice was a more significant turn on.

"That's right baby, I'm gonna fuck you so good tonight" his kiss was needy as his hands instantly touching your breasts, his hands cupping your ass, and him sliding his tongue inside your mouth. The two of you make out in the small closet, the kiss getting rougher and the room getting hotter. Johnny groans into the kiss as both of your hands run up and down his body. His hands slide up your dress, pushing your panties to the side. The pads of his fingers rubbed your slit teasing you.

"You're so wet baby...is it for me?" He whispers pushing his fingers inside you making you moan. His fingers were thick, as push into you but he stopped making you whine. It wasn't until you heard a bang from the door. The two of you pull away to breathe for air, and your mind comes back to your senses.

"Look at us, Y/n. I can't stay away from you," Johnny admits, bringing your face close and caressing your cheek. "I know you miss me too." You had no answer. You knew this would happen. The moment you fell back into his arms, you couldn't stay away.

"I do...but Yuta-

"Do you still love me?" He caresses your face, cupping your cheek with one hand and the other on your lips.

"I-I don't know, Johnny," you let out the breath you were holding in.

"Do you love him?" He looked into your eyes, waiting for a response. You looked him in the eyes, thinking about your feelings.

"I don't know," you answer. Johnny nods

understanding that things are complicated.

As much as he wanted to get back together you still haven't sorted out your feelings for either man.

Johnny stayed at the party he was chilling off to the side, drinking to what had to be his 3rd drink of the night. He was frustrated with the conversation you both had. Those three words plaguing his mind along with Yuta. What made him so special? Why waste time on Yuta? Jealousy wasn't good to have, but it sure made Johnny become bold. So bold that he walked up to Yuta overhearing the conversation.

"Honestly, I don't know how he was invited" the guy next to Yuta says as he doesn't see Johnny come up to him.

"Yeah, Y/n doesn't talk to Johnny anymore, so I don't get why he's here"

"Dude I think he's still hung up on her"

"Probably still is and it's really fucking pathetic"

"Hey, at least I'm not getting your sloppy seconds, Nakamoto," Johnny sneers as Yuta bursts out laughing. Johnny glares at him, trying to figure out what is funny.

"Sloppy? Oh, Y/n could never although her head game was sloppy but don't worry daddy trained her right" Yuta smirked triumphantly crossing his arm as he looked at you from across the room. You were having fun with Monica, the two of you doing your own thing. Johnny pays attention to the direction of his gaze on you.

"Daddy? That's crazy. She called me daddy last week, " Johnny announced as Yuta looked at him in disgust. There was no way in hell you were fucking him. Not when he got back from Japan almost three weeks ago.

"Don't be ridiculous. Y/n wouldn't go back to you. She's too good for you. " This time, Johnny laughs, rolling his eyes. To him, Yuta was a fool. You belonged to Johnny. You were his girl and always will be. It's only natural you'd come back to him. It took you crying on his doorstep. He immediately knew you told Yuta how you felt. Him knowing Yuta, Johnny knew he ghosted you. Sure, he was a rebound, but it wasn't like Yuta wasn't one either. Karma. What Johnny called it.

"Oh, but she did. See, while you left her alone for two months, I made sure to keep your side of the bed nice and warm." Yuta then starts thinking about it. He knew something was off for the past two weeks. You had a new hairstyle, before it was different color wigs, with different curls and sometimes it was straight. Now here you are with your natural hair, though it was relaxed with a bit of a curl. That Sunday morning, he came to your doorstep, and your hair was in these beautiful curly waves. You were even more beautiful than you were before. He noticed how your scent changed. You changed your perfume. From a sweet floral summer smell to a husky amber sticky amber. That fall stickiness lingers on your skin. Even your mannerisms were different. Your posture went from slouched to straight. You were more laid back than this proper posh princess. Your walk was slow and graceful for a confident stride. But that didn't mean you'd go back to Johnny. This was just not a very funny way to get under his skin. Just to irritate him. So far, it was working, just the thought of you going back to HIM of all people.

"You fucked up and you know it Yuta. Instead of running from your feelings, you should've made it official. Now that ring I've been keeping is going right on her hand" with those words Johnny parted ways with the now-furious Yuta. His eyes are locked on you in an uncomfortable possession. Only the feeling of fear licking up his spine gave way to the clarity of your features. As he made decisive strides towards you.

"We need to talk," his voice stern and demanding you smirk as it was the tone you liked. Especially when he's turned on, you knew he'd love the dress you bought.

"Okay, just give me-

"Now." With that, Yuta takes you upstairs as Johnny watches the two of you smirking. You caught his facial expression but didn't think of it. This sinking feeling in your stomach as to what Yuta was going to say. Yuta takes you to your room and locks the door behind you. Immediately, you wrap your arms around him, trying to kiss him, but Yuta grabs you by the waist, pulling you away.

"What's wrong?" You ask as Yuta looks you in the eye. As he paces, he tries to get out whatever words he had to say.

"Is it true?" He snaps, looking at you.

"What?"

"Are you fucking Johnny?" Yuta asks as your face drops.

"How did you-

"I want to hear you say it," he snaps at you. The look he gave you, he was holding something back.

"Yes-

"Yes, what?!" He yells, slamming his hand on the wall, making you jump in fear.

"I've been fucking Johnny okay!" You yell back, and Yuta looks at you. His expression softens as he tries to calm down.

"When?" He already knew the answers he wanted, but he wanted to hear you say it. You felt sick like you had eaten something rotten. Your stomach swirls as Yuta asks these questions as if you are being interrogated.

"When did you start it?"Yuta takes a deep breath, asking more loaded questions.

"Yuta, can we please mot-

"Don't avoid me dammit! Tell me the truth!" His words break as his eyes tear up, his voice sounding like a crackling glass. Ready to cut you as you did the same to him.

"Five months ago!" You scream out as tears fall from your eyes. Yuta steps away from you, taking deep breaths and holding back his tears.

"When I went to Japan?" He asked as you looked up at him.

"I-

"Was it before or after?"

"The night you left," you blurted out.

"Unbelievable." he shakes his head as you look at him, feeling sad and a little angry. He had no right to be upset.

"Well, what was I supposed to do, Yuta?!" You fired back at him, and this time, he looked at you shocked. As if he was the one hiding and sneaking around with an ex-girlfriend.

"Oh, I don't know, maybe not sleep with another guy every time you get your heart broken"

"But you can fuck other girls while fucking me right?"

"DON'T you fucking dare! You know I wasn't fucking anyone before or after I left!"

"You sure made it obvious to me!"

"We- we weren't together, Y/n!"

"We're not together now! So why do you care about it, Yuta?!"

"You know why!" Yuta turns to you as tears fall from his face, and tears fall to yours. Your head was spinning, and your stomach felt in knots.

"Because you love me? Oh please Yuta we're still fucking in secret nothing special about it" with those words Yuta felt a deep cut on his chest. Your words cut like a knife craving out his heart.

"I told you that I loved you that night I came back...I thought- I thought we-

"And before that, you told me you didn't. You broke my heart, and so I went back to Johnny. You thought I was going to wait for you?"

"Yeah, I did, but I played myself, huh?"

"Yuta-

"Do you still love me?" He asks, looking at you, hoping no yearning for you to say yes. He could move on from this IF you said that you love him.

"I-I don't know anymore." There was a pause of silence between the two of you. The tension in the air makes you feel hot and sticky, not in a good way either. You needed to get out of the room. You go to the door, unlock it, and Yuta stops you.

"Why?" He asks, making you stop, and you turn to look at him once more.

"Y-Yuta I-

"Just answer me this... Do you still love Johnny?" He asks as jealousy and heartbreak fill him. A part of him didn't wanna know, but he had to. You, on the other hand, refused to answer as you opened the door and rushed to your bathroom. You go in and close the door, slumping against it. You looked like a mess. Your makeup was running. You then look on the shelf above and make up wipes. You weren't going back down with your makeup on, so you decided to take it off. It wasn't until you heard the music cut off and yelling coming from downstairs that you decided to investigate. You go downstairs and see a huge crowd disbursing before you could ask what happened you got to the center of it.

You stood there shocked watching Yuta swing on Johnny. It was sudden and out of nowhere as Johnny stumbled back. He didn't expect that punch either. Johnny felt the tingling sensation on his lips as he looked at Yuta and wasted no time. Johnny grabs Yuta back by the shirt, Yuta then turns around. however, however, he gets no time for defense as Johnny punches him in the jaw and then pushes Yuta down. He then gets on top of Yuta and hits him more. Yuta struggles to take his punches until he manages to pull Johnny to the side, gaining the upper hand. Yuta hits Johnny in the face one after the other, busting Johnny's lip and bruising his face. The two got out of hand as they continued Rolling around. Yuta pulled Johnny up onto his feet again.

"Hit me back," yuta pushes Johnny as Johnny stumbles back. His appearance was disheveled, and his face was bloodied and bruised.

"Come on! Hit me back!" Yuta yells, pushing him again. Johnny trips on his feet, but Yuta grabs him by his shirt, making him stand on his feet. Yuta moves back, planning his next move by kicking Johnny into the table with your birthday cake on it. The two wrestled, covering themselves in your cake. It wasn't until Monica sprayed a water gun at them that they turned themselves onto her. However, their attention was on you. Your face looked at them in disgust. Your eyes looked hurt and enraged by the two men. This was a night to celebrate your graduation. The two of them realized they ruined it. You were fuming at this point as everyone was yelling at the both of them. So you left out feeling embarrassed as you walked outside in the cold night.

“We should get a Queen?”

“What?” Johnny questioned. “Why all of a sudden?”

“I mean, there are a lot of benefits to having a Queen.”

“We’re doing just fine.”

“I’m just saying… it would be kinda cool.”

“Then go tell Taeyong.”

“I don’t know if he’d like the idea. It’s a whole thing, and we’d have to find a witch willing to do the spell. I doubt it’d be cheap too.”

“What wouldn’t be cheap?”

Doyoung walked into the living room, taking a seat on one of the couches and letting out a relaxing sigh. Blood still stained his lips, but he was quick to lick away the remains.

“Haechan was saying we should get a Queen.” Johnny stated. “And it definitely wouldn’t be cheap.”

“Why would we get a Queen? We don’t need one.”

“But it would make our lives easier.” Haechan remarked. “And we’d be more powerful.”

“It’s dangerous.” Doyoung reminded. “Although it’s not entirely a bad idea.”

A moment later the door opened and the others piled in. They just had dinner and now needed to let the blood settle down.

“Taeyong…”

“Hm? What is it, Haechan, still hungry?”

“I… kinda… but I was wondering… wouldn’t it be a good idea to get a Queen?”

“Wait, why would we need a Queen?” Yuta asked. “What’s that all about?”

“A Queen can be very beneficial for a nest. A source of power and blood.” Doyoung explained. “With one we wouldn’t need to hunt as much, and our hunger would be better satiated. We’d be able to blend in with humans a lot better too.”

“That sounds great, so why don’t we have a Queen?”

“Well as you can see a nest doesn’t just have one. We’d need a witch to perform a ritual, and that itself is dangerous.”

“Well, I like the idea.” Jungwoo admitted. “I’m down to give it a shot.”

“I second that.” Mark added.

“Did you all not hear about how this is dangerous?” Jaehyun reminded.

“How dangerous can it really be?”

“We can wind up dead if this doesn’t work.” Johnny said. “Why do you think it’s not a common thing among vampires? Whole nests end up dead in pursuit of a Queen.”

“Shouldn’t we at least take a vote on this?” Doyoung questioned. “It doesn’t seem like everyone is opposed to this deadly idea.”

“Sure.” Taeyong agreed. “We can do this anonymously.”

The boys wrote down their choice on a piece of paper and added it into an empty glass. Taeyong was the one to count the votes afterwards. Lucky for them their numbers were odd so there would be no tie.

“Before I check the votes, are we all going to be okay with whatever the outcome is?” Taeyong questioned. “We could potentially end up dead.”

“Considering we’re immortal beings.” Mark said. “The threat of death seems more like a challenge than something to fear.”

“I swear, how did I end up with you guys?”

Taeyong pulled out the pieces of paper one by one and showed the others, placing it in one of two piles. In the end, the majority voted yes to embarking on this dangerous endeavor. The first step would be finding a powerful witch. Fortunately Taeyong knew of one, so they could at least deal with that hard part. The next night they made their way to a witches coven. It wasn’t common for both their kinds to meet, or to be friends, but Taeyong was an outlier.

“Irene, it’s so good to see you.” Taeyong embraced the witch in a hug. “How are the girls?”

“We’re doing well. I was quite surprised by your message though. What could you possibly need from me?”

“My nest and I want a Queen.”

“Ah, you’re serious?”

“Yes. Is that something you could help me with? I understand if-”

“It’s your nest on the line. If you’re serious about this then I won’t stop you. Besides, what other witch can you trust with such a spell.”

“Thanks.”

“Come on now. You’re all invited in.”

The boys entered the house, being mindful of their surroundings. Irene led them down to the basement where she had all her ingredients and the space for performing spells. While Irene gathered her ingredients, and had her girls help, she spoke of what came next.

“Do you know what this spell entails?”

“No idea.” Haechan answered.

“But you are aware of its dangers, right? You could end up dead.”

“Since this isn’t common, we don’t know much about it.” Jaehyun said. “I wouldn’t mind you enlightening us on the situation.”

“Of course. You see what makes this spell so dangerous, and the whole Queen thing in general, is that you are bonding your very being to another. The spell basically fractures your soul and in order to complete it you must find a Queen. If you don’t, well, you end up dead.”

“How long do we have?” Johnny asked. “Once the spell is done?”

“About a week.”

“Seriously? That’s not so bad.” Mark commented. “How is it that a nest winds up dead because of this?”

“Oh, you think it’s easy? You better get that idea out of your head or you will end up dead.”

Irene had one of her girls draw symbols on the floor while she began to mix ingredients. She had the boys sit down in a semi circle.

“And you’re all sure you want to do this? Cause once I cast this spell there is no undoing it. Even once you find your Queen, you can never remove her.”

“We understand.” Taeyong confirmed. “There is no going back once we do this. So you can proceed.”

“Alright. First, I need you all to spill your blood into this bowl.”

One of the girls handed over the bowl with a knife, and the boys passed it down the line. It wasn’t exactly sanitary, but with their healing capabilities it wasn’t an issue.

“As I mentioned before, this spell will weaken you. The first day or so you won’t feel it, but afterwards you will. Your hunger will disappear, and sunlight will be more of an issue for you. What you need to do within that week, before you lose all your strength, is to find your Queen and feed her the potion that is created as a result of this spell.”

“Why do you make it sound like it’s so difficult to find a Queen?” Jungwoo questioned.

“Because it is. You can’t just pick any random person to fulfill the role. They must be compatible with you, all of you.”

“Oh.”

“Which is honestly the most difficult part of all of this. Once the spell is complete I can point you in the right direction of your Queen, but unfortunately I cannot give you a name or address. Time is of the essence, and you must be swift.”

“If you can’t give us a name, then how exactly are we supposed to find our Queen?” Yuta wondered. “This sounds like a wild goose chase.”

“I’m afraid I don’t really have an answer for that. I’m not a vampire with a Queen, but from what I’ve heard you’ll know when you find the one.”

“Pretty vague, don’t you think?”

“If you don’t wish to attempt this, I can stop here.”

“No. We continue.” Taeyong stated. “Now that we have more details of the dangers, we’ll make sure to act accordingly.”

“Very well.”

The bowl was returned to Irene and she mixed up the contents once more. When she finished she had it placed between her and the vampires. The girls sat beside her, and Irene began the spell.

“Last chance to back out.” Irene commented.

“We got this.”

“Okay. This will hurt you as we begin, so bear with me.”

The candles that had been set up were suddenly lit and all other light sources were turned off. The girls began chanting, and when they opened their eyes there was nothing but a white glow. As far as they knew nothing was really happening, that is until they began to feel a pain in their chest. It felt like someone was ripping out their heart, but there was no way to stop the feeling. The fire from the candles grew in size, beginning to combine with the other flames. For a moment they were all blinded by the light of the fire, and then it all seemed to travel to the bowl, burning the contents into ash. Or at least that’s what they thought.

Once the fire was gone the candle light went out, and all the other lights turned on. The boys could take a normal breath as the pain in their chest began to subside. Irene paid them no mind as she took the bowl and poured its contents into a small vial. She swirled it around for a bit before placing it in a small box and grabbing the bowl, returning to the others. Her girls pulled out a map and set it down on the floor. Irene lifted up the bowl and cast another spell before pouring out the remaining contents onto the map. The strange crimson liquid stained the map for a moment before it began moving. It created a small circle on the map and spelled out the name of the marked location.

“That is where you can find your Queen.” Irene held out the box to Taeyong. “When you do find them, they need to drink the contents of this vial, and then you need to stop their heart.”

“What?”

“What? Did you think your Queen was going to be human? No, no, they need to become a vampire like you, and you know how that process works. Once they turn, you must all drink from them in order to complete the ritual. All this must be done within a week. Understood?”

“Yeah, we got it.” Taeyong took the box. “I guess we should get going.”

“Indeed. And one last thing, Taeyong.”

“Hm?”

“Don’t die.”

“I don’t plan on it.”

🖤

For the time being they felt no different than their usual selves, although the clock was ticking. The trip to their destination wasn’t a long one, but they lost half a day. Vampires wouldn’t burn in the sunlight, unless they were exposed to it for too long. Thankfully they arrived during the night, not having to worry about anything but the task at hand. They found themselves in a small little city, a few skyscrapers painting the skyline. It was a beautiful place, but the size was a bit concerning. Their Queen was here, but they had no idea where to start.

“So, what should we do first?”

Haechan was the first to step out of the car, stretching his limbs and getting some fresh air. The hyungs had already picked out a hotel to stay at, getting the penthouse suite, now they just needed to check in. Haechan took in the sights, enjoying the view around him, and thus not aware of his surroundings. As he took a few steps back he wound up crashing into someone. Papers scattered to the floor, and both parties fell to the ground.

“Fuck, watch where you’re going.” Haechan hissed.

“Sorry, so sorry, you’re not hurt are you?”

“I’m fine.”

“I’m so sorry.”

Haechan noticed a young girl frantically picking up the papers. She didn’t even look at Haechan as she apologized. This pissed him off, but before he could make a comment the girl winced, grabbing her hand and revealing a small paper cut. He saw a dot of blood bloom on her finger, and then he caught a whiff of her scent.

“Oh…”

“I’m so sorry, but I really have to go.” The girl sucked on her finger for a moment before scrambling to get all her papers and stand up. “Sorry again.”

Haechan watched as the girl rushed into the hotel, disappearing from view. He was still on the ground, staring down the path she had gone. Mark soon came over and helped him get back on his feet.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s her.”

“What?”

“That girl… she’s the one…”

“What girl?”

“The one that just went into the hotel… she’s our Queen.”

“What nonsense is he spewing now?” Johnny said. “We just got here.”

“Listen to me, it’s her.”

“How do you know?” Doyoung questioned. “Or are you just jumping to conclusions?”

“I’m telling you, it’s her. Whoever she is, her blood, her scent, it’s calling to me… I have to go after her.”

“Easy there.” Jaehyun came over to grab Haechan. “You were just a rude prick to her, so I doubt she wants to see your face. And I’m pretty sure you’re just hungry.”

“Our hunger is practically nonexistent now. I’m not entirely hungry for her blood, but for her… although I wouldn’t mind a taste either.”

“Well, you’re not going after her.” Taeyong stated. “Some of the others can follow this lead of yours and the rest of us will check in.”

“But-”

“I’m not going to repeat myself.”

The boys all got their things and made their way into the hotel. Although Haechan was more focused on following the sweet scent. He wandered off just a bit before Johnny grabbed him, but it did provide answers. A sign in front of the hotel ballroom stated that there would be a fashion show there in three days. People were coming in and out of the room, meaning things were getting set up, and Haechan was certain the girl he had run into was in there.

“She’s there. I know it.”

“If you say so, but you don’t get to go.”

“Please, please, I’ll behave.”

“Taeyong already told you no. Now come on.”

Johnny informed the others about Haechan’s discovery, and his theory. With all that said Taeyong decided he’d investigate this, taking Yuta and Jaehyun with him while the rest checked in and took their bags upstairs. The trio made their way over to the ballroom entrance, sneaking inside when no one was looking. Once inside they could see that the stage was being set up, along with the tables and chairs. No one paid them attention, at least not at first. Since they were just standing around it was assumed they hadn’t been given a task yet.

“You three, what are you doing?”

“Oh, don’t mind us dear.” Taeyong compelled. “We’re just looking around.”

“If you’re not here to help with the show, then leave.”

“What?”

“You heard me.”

“I’m sorry, who are you?”

“The person in charge of this show. Everything has to be perfect, so if you’re not going to help, leave.”

“I-”

“Now!”

The girl snapped, startling all of them, and pointing at the door. That’s when they noticed the bandaid on her finger, confirming she was the one Haechan had spoken of. Although what had Taeyong and the others perplexed was her immunity to their powers. It could just be a side effect of the spell, but they couldn’t be sure that was the case. She started ushering them out when another voice spoke up.

“Y/n, what are you doing!?”

You quickly turned around to face your boss, Vevee, with a big smile on your face. She walked over to where you were and you began to explain.

“I was just kicking out these intruders. Everything is still going according to schedule, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Is that so?”

“You must be in charge.” Taeyong spoke, stepping up to introduce himself. “I’m Taeyong, I was hoping to meet you.”

“And you are?”

“Here to help. I see you’re having a fashion show, and I have some wonderful models for you.”

“Do you now?”

“Yes. Let me introduce Jaehyun and Yuta.” Taeyong gestured to the other two. “Of course I have a few other models, but they’re up in the penthouse.”

“Ah, so you’re the one who stole the penthouse suite from me.”

“Apologies, but I need the best for my models.”

“Vevee, we already have models for the show.” You interrupted. “We don’t need anymore.”

“A few more won’t hurt.” Taeyong compelled. “Right?”

“… you are right, why don’t you bring down your boys tomorrow morning. It will be easier to see if they’re any good once the stage is set and they can walk the runway.”

“Of course. I’ll return in the morning.”

“Vevee.” You said. “We-”

“That’s enough. This is my show, now get back to work.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Vevee offered Taeyong a smile before returning her attention to the stage being set, giving out some directions. You were glaring daggers at this Taeyong guy with his dumb models. He only gave you a smirk in return. Things may have worked out for him, but you knew you were gonna get an earful about this later.

“I’ll see you later, y/n.” Taeyong smiled.

“Fuck off.”

Taeyong left with the other two in tow. It wasn’t until they were in the elevator going up that they questioned what Taeyong had done. He said he’d explain once they gathered with the others. It seemed the rest were settling in well, and Taeyong gathered them all in the living room, gazing out at the skyline while he waited.

“So, how did it go?” Haechan questioned. “Did you find her? Was I right?”

“Maybe…”

“Yes!”

“Wait, what?” Johnny stated. “Are you kidding me?”

“No, but there was something about this girl. My compulsion didn’t work on her. I thought maybe it was because of the spell, but my power did work on her boss.”

“Don’t forget to tell them about the other thing.” Yuta mentioned.

“What other thing?” Doyoung asked. “What did you do?”

“Tomorrow morning you’re going to walk the runway, see if this lady likes you for her show.”

“What! Why!?”

“This y/n girl is working the show. So if we’re a part of it too, it will give us a reason to be around her. I’m not sure if she is the one, but we need to get more information. Even if it’s not her, participating in this fashion show will allow us to mingle with many other individuals in the city, making it easier to find our Queen.”

“I always wanted to walk a runway.” Jungwoo commented. “I’m down.”

“Then we’re in agreement. You all better be on your best behavior.”

“We will.”

🖤

Come morning the boys made their way down to the ballroom. The boss was nowhere to be seen, but they quickly found you as you were glaring at them from the stage area. Taeyong merely smiled and waved, deciding to help himself to the snack table with the others. He knew it would be best to socialize with all the other staff members, but before he could say anything he began to overhear some gossip.

“Did you hear what y/n did last night?”

“No, what happened?”

“She was trying to kick out these guys, and said this was her show.”

“No way.”

“Right? I mean, she’s not technically wrong. She does everything for Vevee, this practically is her show.”

“Sh! If the boss hears you-”

“Vevee won’t be here until, like, noon. Besides, she won’t take it out on us. You know Vevee blames y/n for everything. She got scolded over not getting the penthouse suite, and then for trying to get rid of those potential models. I swear, I don’t know how that girl puts up with such a boss.”

“I guess the pay is good.”

“I don’t think any amount of money is enough for being Vevee’s personal assistant.”

“That’s true. Let’s get back to the green room, those models should be here soon, and I heard they’re hot.”

“Oh, I can’t wait to meet them.”

After overhearing that Taeyong glanced back over to the stage, seeing you give direction on light placement, speaking into a headset as well, and then answering the questions of the other employees that came up to you. If he didn’t know otherwise he would think you were in charge, especially since the real boss was nowhere to be found.

“Ya! Mr. Intruder.”

Taeyong didn’t realize you were talking to him until you walked down the runway to get closer to him, yelling and waving your arms around. He put on a cocky smile and walked over.

“Yes?”

“Get your boytoys to the green room for hair and makeup. There are some test outfits they can wear, so I want them ready to go in twenty minutes.”

“And where is your boss?”

“Upstairs sleeping. Any other stupid questions?”

“You don’t like me much, do you?”

“What made you think otherwise? Now go. You’re down to nineteen minutes.”

You gave Taeyong a fake smile and got back to the others, continuing where you left off. Knowing Vevee her alarm was probably going off, so she would be down soon. You still remembered how she fought you about staying at the hotel, especially since it wouldn’t be the penthouse suite. You had to put your foot down though, knowing she’d be hella late if she was at her own place, and at least like this you knew where to find her in case of emergencies. Or you could easily get her out of bed yourself. For now, you’d give her the benefit of doubt and hope she came down on her own.

🖤

Taeyong gathered his boys and went to the green room. There were plenty of others around, but he paid them no mind. A few of the stylists around took the boys, starting to get their measurements and figuring out what outfit to put them in. One almost got him, but he wasn’t a model for the runway. He wandered around a bit, taking in the other models, and looking at the official outfits for the show. Last night he had done a bit of research, getting more information about this Vevee. The lady had quite the reputation. Her work was widely praised, although it wasn’t easy to get kindness from her, even if it was fake. Taeyong might not have gotten the chance to be here if not for his powers. Which reminded him.

“You, pretty girl, get me an iced americano, okay?”

“Yes, sir.”

He needed to test his powers a bit more, just to make sure if last night was a fluke or something. A while later he returned to the others, finding them seated as they were getting the last few touches of makeup.

“Alright, models, please make your way to the stage for the test run.” You came to the green room, barking out orders. “Let’s move. This isn’t the big show but you all better act like it.”

“I was wondering where you were.” Taeyong commented. “I wanted you to do my hair and makeup.”

“I’m not a stylist.”

“Are you sure? It seems like you can do every job here.”

“Just get your guys to the stage.”

“Of course.”

You didn’t hang around the green room for too long, returning to the main stage and feeling relief upon seeing Vevee present. You quickly went to get her a coffee before approaching.

“Where are the models?”

“They’re backstage right now. Shall we start a test run?”

“Yes. I need to see who actually knows how to do their job.”

“Of course.”

You spoke into your headset to give backstage the green light on starting the test run. The lights went down and the first model walked down the runway. You stood by Vevee’s side, examining the models as well to make sure everything went smoothly. For the most part you knew who was on stage as you had worked with these models before, but when you saw Taeyong’s boys you were a bit taken aback. You didn’t care much for them, but now that you were really seeing them, you were quite stunned by their beauty. This wasn’t even rehearsal, but they were good, and you hated it.

“So, what do you think Vevee?”

“Get them all on the stage, now.”

“Yes ma’am.”

Through your headset you told backstage to have the models come onto the stage. Vevee looked them over, pointing at the ones she wanted gone. All the new boys remained on stage to your disappointment.

“Alright. I want outfits fitted for them.”

“Yes, Vevee. I’ll grab a handful for the promotional shoots as well.”

“Might I volunteer my boys.” Taeyong suggested. “Some new faces should draw attention.”

“I’m against the idea.” You stated. “It’s better to stick with models we’ve used before as people recognize them and trust them.”

“On the contrary. Something new will entice others to come. Besides, you have to admit all my boys are quite the face card.”

“Vevee-”

“That is an excellent idea. Y/n, have the boys prepped for the shoot.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Good. I’m off then, I have a lunch engagement. You can handle everything here, right y/n?”

“Yes, Vevee.”

“I’ll stop by tonight for a proper rehearsal.”

“We’ll see you then.”

You only threw a glare at Taeyong before ordering the models back and following them. A few things needed to be changed, and you needed the stylist to prepare the new boys. Taeyong stayed with the boys, but then he got curious as to where you were, so he went off to find you. He asked around, being told you were in one of the green rooms. He knocked before entering, going to a few rooms before finding the one. He found you leaning against the wall, the smell of coffee in the air.

“I see you finally got a break.”

Taeyong didn’t get a response, figuring you were ignoring him, which wasn’t a first. He approached you, placing a hand on your shoulder when the cup of coffee suddenly fell from your hand. It spilled to the floor and you started to slide down the wall. He quickly caught you, seeing that you were passed out.

“Y/n?”

“Hm… what the fuck!”

You opened your eyes and came face to face with Taeyong. You screamed and shoved him away from you. For a moment you lost balance but were able to catch yourself.

“What are you doing here!?”

“I was looking for you.” Taeyong explained. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

“Are you sure? You-”

“What do you want?”

“I… are you okay? Looking at you now, you seem exhausted.”

“It’s nothing I can’t handle.”

“You were sleeping standing up.”

“A quick power nap.”

“Did you even sleep last night?”

“No, I pulled an all-nighter to get things properly set up for today. Then I had to be back here for the final touches and to make sure Vevee woke up on time. I swear, she drives me insane sometimes. She kept fighting me about staying at the hotel, but I needed her to be here since she couldn’t possibly be late if she was so close to the event space. And- why am I even telling you all this. Are your boys done with hair and makeup?”

“How are you even functioning right now?”

“I’ll take that as you don’t know, so now I gotta go look into it myself. Move.”

“Y/n.” Taeyong grabbed your arm. “Go to sleep.”

“Fuck off!”

“How… you’re only hurting yourself if you keep doing this! Vevee-”

“Took me in after I graduated, when I had nothing! She gave me a job and helped me build myself up from scratch! So don’t you dare question me! You’re working for her too now, so we’re in the same boat.”

“But-”

“Don’t act like you care about me or something, you’re just here for a paycheck. Now leave me alone. Gosh, I’m gonna need to get someone to clean this room now.”

You pulled yourself out of Taeyong’s grasp and left the room as you called for maintenance to clean up the spilled coffee. You checked the time, needing to check on the models. Taeyong stayed put, once again left in shock over how his powers didn’t work on you, but also worried about the state he had found you in. He didn’t even notice until now how much you actually did, and how you weren’t really credited for any of it. He was just having fun by teasing you, but maybe he needed a different approach.

“Is everyone almost done?”

You went to the green room where the models were, glancing at each one to make sure they were ready. The photography crew would be here soon and you would have to focus on them while they set up so the models had to be ready. Everything was still on schedule, so you were at least grateful for that. You told the stylists to bring the models out to the stage once done. You then ducked out to make sure the photoshoot area was set up and met up with the crew once they showed up. You made sure everything was set up well, and then took note when the models arrived. They were quite intrigued by the new faces, but of course whatever Vevee wanted, she got. Although the photographer didn’t seem to mind the new boys.

“How do I look?”

Haechan couldn’t help but approach you, feeling exceptionally handsome today. You only rolled your eyes at the question.

“Presentable, now pay attention.”

“To what?”

“The shoot. You’re new models, I doubt you’ve done this stuff before.”

“I’ve never been a model either, but I’m a natural at it.”

“What?”

“Don’t you agree.”

“I swear you’re all just trouble.”

“Only to you.”

“Honestly. So if you’re not models then- Ya!” You ran over to Yuta, taking the drink out of his hand. “What are you doing!?”

“Huh?”

“You just got your makeup done, why are you drinking?”

“It’s just water.”

“Yeah, and now I need to touch up your fucken lips. None of you are professionals.”

You went over to one of the stylists lingering around, dragging Yuta with you. The stylist handed over the kit they had and you found the match for Yuta’s color. You immediately began to touch up his color.

“Is there something you can’t do?”

“Keep you all in line apparently. Don’t fuck up your makeup again, got it?”

“Yes ma’am.”

“Don’t call me that.”

“So, can I buy you a drink later?”

“No.”

“Please. When do you get off work?”

“Tomorrow.”

“Huh?”

“Go on now, you’re next.”

You dragged Yuta over to the shoot area, watching from the sidelines. Now you could take a breath cause being so close to that boy was making your face burn. Usually you kept yourself composed around the models, you had worked with them before, but all this new talent, it was taking you back to when you first started. It had been so fun to work alongside Vevee, setting up shows, taking part in every aspect so you could handle any emergency. Now everything was just a job, and it was exhausting. Still, seeing the final product was worth it.

“You know, I don’t think you actually had that coffee earlier.”

“So?”

“Here.” Taeyong held out a cup of coffee. “Maybe you can have some now.”

“Thanks.”

You didn’t want to accept anything from him, but the caffeine wouldn’t hurt. To your surprise it was your order, but you weren’t gonna ask how he knew that. Instead, you might as well get some information.

“May I ask you something?”

“What is it?”

“Who are you?”

“Excuse me?”

“None of your boys here have any experience as models, so you’re definitely not some sort of agency. I know Vevee only let you participate cause they’re good looking and-”

“You think my boys are good looking?”

“Why are you here? Cause as far as I’m concerned you somehow talked your way into this show, but it was never your intention to be a part of it.”

“Perceptive, aren’t you?”

“So I’m right.”

“Not exactly.”

“Then why are you here? What do you get out of this?”

“My boys and I came here looking for something.”

“Well I hope you find it, and fast, so you can get out of my life.”

“You’d like that, wouldn’t you?”

“Very much.”

“When I find what I came for, I’ll let you know.”

“Don’t bother.”

“Y/n.” Jungwoo came over. “Can you touch up my makeup?”

“Go ask one of the stylists.”

“But I saw you fix up Yuta.”

“So?”

“Please, I want it to be you.”

“So you can do makeup.” Taeyong commented. “You’re a true ace, aren’t you?”

“Shut it. Jungwoo, go ask someone else.”

“But-”

“Let her drink her coffee, go on now.”

“Fine.”

You rolled your eyes when you saw Taeyong’s smirk. You wished you could walk away but you had to keep watch of everything. Once the shoot was over you were relieved, finally able to get away from the boys. Everything was done for the day, but you still had work to do. All the other employees checked in with you before leaving for the night. You were back in one of the green rooms, working on your laptop and going over the pictures from the shoot. You needed to pick the best ones to send over to marketing. The goal was to have the promotional period out by tomorrow morning, so it was going to be a long night.

🖤

“She doesn’t like us very much.” Jaehyun commented. “Are we sure it’s her?”

“We’re not.” Doyoung reminded. “But it seems likely.”

“Your powers still work on others, right?” Taeyong questioned. “I’ve had no problem compelling people today, but it never seems to work on y/n.”

“Oh, that’s a first.” Johnny mentioned. “Unless she has anti vampire measures.”

“I doubt it’s that.”

“We should take her out to dinner.”

“Didn’t you already get rejected, Yuta?”

“Shut it.”

“You gonna try again?” Mark teased. “I doubt she’ll say yes.”

“Maybe not one-on-one, but all of us, like some company dinner.”

“She’s already suspicious.” Taeyong mentioned. “So I doubt she’ll wanna be near us.”

“Suspicious?” Johnny questioned. “Of what?”

“Us. She knows you’re not models, and is questioning our reason for being here.”

“Well, we don’t plan to stick around for long.” Jungwoo said. “So it’s fine.”

“It’s not considering she’s most likely our Queen. We need to get along with her, it’s in our best interest.”

“We need her to survive.” Haechan remarked. “We’re gonna turn her anyway.”

“And don’t you think it’d be better if we were on good terms before then. Or perhaps we can get her to agree to all this.”

“Oh, that would be good.”

“Exactly. So be nicer to her tomorrow, understand?”

“Yes, sir!”

Only a few actually slept that night. Vampires were mostly nocturnal creatures but things had been different the last few days. Taeyong stayed up, staring at the city and the night sky. Every day that passed was dangerous, but he was certain of his choice, he just wanted things to go well. Before sunrise Johnny and Jungwoo decided to head down to the ballroom to look around the show area before everyone else showed up. They messed around on stage for a bit before heading to the back. The outfits they had worn the other day were just for practice, so they were curious if the ones for the show were around somewhere. As they searched they came across an interesting and concerning sight.

“Y/n?”

The boys wound up finding you passed out at one of the tables in a green room, sleeping on your laptop. They carefully went to your side and shook you awake, accidentally startling you and making you jump out of your seat.

“What time is it! How did you get in here?”

“Easy, easy, we were just looking around.” Jungwoo explained. “It’s barely like five in the morning.”

“Five… good.”

You exhaled and sat back down, turning on your laptop to make sure you had finished everything last night. You had, which meant everything was still on schedule.

“What are you doing here so early?” Johnny asked. “Didn’t you go home last night?”

“No, I was busy.”

“Are you serious?”

“You didn’t answer my other question though, what are you two doing here? Rehearsals don’t start til eight.”

“Just curious, but since we found you, how about breakfast?”

“No thanks, I’m good.”

“Okay. I wasn’t really asking. So either you come with us to have breakfast, or we’re gonna mess around rehearsal.”

You glared. “I’d call your bluff, but you guys don’t know Vevee, or care. So fine, but we can get the hotel breakfast, that way I’m not far from here.”

“That works for me.”

You really were reluctant to share a meal with these guys, but you couldn’t trust they’d behave today unless you did this for them. The three of you went to get breakfast, although when you tried to get coffee they didn’t let you, saying you had been drinking enough caffeine as of late. You complied and got some food. Even if you sat and ate with them you had no intention of making conversation, but it was hard to keep quiet.

“How many hours did you sleep?” Jungwoo wondered.

“Enough.”

“You should have at least slept on the couch. Probably more comfortable.”

“I’ll sleep after the show.”

“That’s not exactly better.” Johnny said. “You’re compromising your health.”

“And you care because?”

“It’s concerning.”

“I’m fine, so no need to worry.”

“Vevee runs you into the ground everyday, how can you-”

“I’m not talking about work with you.”

“Fine. In all honesty though, you do an amazing job.”

“What?”

“Seriously. You’re pretty talented all on your own. I’m sure today will go smoothly. I promise we won’t be trouble.”

“I’ll keep you to that.”

You were caught a bit off guard by the compliment, but you just wanted to finish eating and get back to the ballroom. You finished up first and excused yourself, ditching them and heading back to work. Once other staff members began to arrive you had them begin setting up and get ready for the models. Eventually Taeyong and his boys came down and you directed them all to the green room.

“Another busy day?”

“It’s always busy.”

“Did you have breakfast?”

“Yes, your boys blackmailed me.”

“What?”

“Forget it. Do you need something?”

“No, but if there’s anything I can do to help. I know rehearsals are important.”

“Oh… uh…”

“If you need anything from me just let me know. I’ll be with my boys in the green room.”

“Alright.”

You really weren’t expecting a one eighty on these boys, but maybe they weren’t entirely unprofessional. Still, you weren’t gonna dwell on that and just continue with the task at hand. You hoped everything would go well, but when you got notice that one of your stylists called in sick you knew things were gonna get complicated. You didn’t have any other choice, so you went to the green room and got a list of who still needed work done. Of course it had to be some of Taeyong’s boy. You could see all the smiles on their stupid faces when you grabbed the makeup but you didn’t say anything, they would.

“Ya, y/n gets to do my makeup.” Haechan cheered. “Best day ever.”

“Quiet down.”

“Yes ma’am.”

You focused on the makeup, occasionally stepping away when others asked for direction, but for the most part you were keeping on schedule. The boys complimented your work, glowing over the fact you had gotten them ready.

“Y/n.”

“What?”

“Is everything alright?”

“What kind of question is that?”

“Well, you said you’re not a stylist.” Taeyong pointed out. “Yet you’ve been here.”

“One of my stylists called off today, and I don’t have anyone else.”

“Ah, sorry. Can I help in any way?”

“No, you just…”

You didn’t want to ask him for help, but you also knew it wouldn’t be the best idea to just take on extra tasks. You really hoped he just didn’t make a fuss with you later.

“Actually, the catering service should be arriving soon. Do you think you can have them set up in the same area as yesterday? You know where that is, right?”

“I do.”

“Cool. I’m on channel four if you have any questions. Just borrow a walkie from someone else.”

“Thank you.”

You could mentally check off that task and just continue with what you were doing. When another staff member brought up the catering team being here you just told them Taeyong had it handled but to check on him and let you know if you were needed. You didn’t hear back so that was a good sign, and you could rest assured knowing your staff could get some food.

“When did you learn to do makeup?” Doyoung asked. “You’re good.”

“Just something I needed to know to help Vevee.”

“Have you ever thought of being a stylist?”

“My job is more than that.”

“Yeah, but having a solid career choice isn’t bad.”

“I guess, but right now I need you to be perfect.”

“It’s just rehearsal.” Jaehyun remarked in the next chair over. “You don’t need to be perfect.”

“If you have that kind of mentality about rehearsals you’re not gonna make it as a model. Every show is important, and you need to treat it as such every time. That way when it really does matter, you’re not stressed but doing something you’re confident in. So please, treat today as if it was the actual show.”

“Wow, never thought of it that way. Is that how you see it?”

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll do my best today, promise.”

“You better.”

By the time you finished with makeup the runway was ready for rehearsal. You checked in with tech to make sure they knew their marks and then told everyone to be ready in ten. As you stepped out to the show area you saw Vevee sitting by the stage with a coffee in hand. She was chatting away and seemed to be in a good mood. You took a breath and made your way over.

“Hi, Vevee, glad you made it.”

“Ah, there you are. Is everything ready?”

“Yes. We’re gonna-”

“Then let’s start.”

“The team is-”

“Now.”

“Yes ma’am.”

You called to those backstage to start everything in the next handful of seconds. You knew they were all probably gonna scrambled for a moment but then the lights went down and the models began to walk the runway. You paid attention to them, making note of where to improve while also making sure Vevee was content. If she had any notes she’d let you know afterwards. You went through the whole show in silence, thankfully the music playing made things less awkward. While you seemed focused on the models, Taeyong kept his gaze on you. Despite everything you were still working, you didn’t even take a seat for this. Once the show was over Vevee got up to speak with you.

“The models need to exude more confidence and pride. They’re wearing Vevee originals, this is the opportunity of a lifetime for them.”

“I will let them know.”

“Tell the marketing team to send out more promos in the morning, and don’t use the same pictures twice.”

“Got it.”

“Very well, on another note, what were you thinking!?”

“I’m sorry, what-”

“You had Taeyong working! He’s just a representative of his company and you thought-”

“It was no trouble at all.” Taeyong cut in. “I offered and-”

“I’m so sorry about that. Y/n should have no problem managing on her own. There was no need for you to step in.”

“I-”

Taeyong noticed you desperately shaking your head and trying to tell him to stop talking. He wanted to defend you, but seeing the worry in your eyes made him step back.

“Apologies. I don’t mean to worry you.”

“Let the girl do her job, no need for you to break a sweat.”

“Understood.”

“Good. Now y/n.”

“Yes Vevee.”

“I want another rehearsal tomorrow before the show.”

“What? If we do another the staff would need to come in before sunrise, and it would have to happen along side-”

“I don’t care for the details, just do it.”

“Of course ma’am.”

“Alright. My work here is done. I have to get ready for tomorrow.”

“We’ll see you then ma’am.”

You gave Vevee a bow and didn’t move until you knew she was gone. Taeyong took a step towards you and then saw your legs give out on you. He quickly caught you and held you up. For a moment you allowed it before getting yourself together and pulling away from him.

“I’m fine.”

“Sorry about earlier, I thought-”

“It’s fine. We need to run the show again.”

“Again? But we-”

“I need to incorporate Vevee’s notes. It won’t take long.”

“Fine. But you need to eat first.”

“What?”

“You nearly fainted just now, and it’s lunch time for your staff too anyway.”

“Right, right…”

“Come on, you need to take a break too.”

“I said-”

“I’m not asking. Please, if you’re not gonna take care of yourself then let me do it.”

“I-”

“Let’s go.”

Without asking Taeyong took your hand and led you over to the food table. He got in line with you, still holding your hand. He made you hold your tray while he placed food on top of it, asking what you wanted and getting his own food in the process. Afterwards he sat down with you, getting you some water and telling you to ease off the caffeine. He even took your phone from you so you could actually eat. You didn’t say anything to him, and he didn’t pry you to talk. The rest of his boys eventually came to the table too, but you didn’t make conversation with them either. You just wanted to finish your food and get back to work. Although you knew Taeyong had a point. It was lunch time, no one besides you would be working.

After you finished eating you excused yourself, and thankfully Taeyong let you go. Once everyone was back you had the models get touched up and had staff prepare for another run. When Taeyong came over to you he asked where he could help but you just threw a glare his way. You weren’t gonna ask him for help again. Still, he stayed by your side as you ran the second rehearsal, talking to the models and the backstage crew. Taeyong had to admit you were quite good at being in charge. Everything went smoothly and everyone seemed to be having a good time. You were a bit ahead of your own schedule which was great, but next came the hard part. You gathered everyone and informed them that they needed to come in early for another rehearsal before the actual show.

The complaints came rolling in, but it was what Vevee wanted and there was no going against it. Since everyone had finished up early, you let them know that once they packed up their things they were free to go. They all seemed a bit upset, and you really felt guilty for it. You checked over everyone’s stations and then dismissed them. In the end it was just you, or so you thought. Taeyong and his crew were still hanging around, some up on the runway messing around. You were glad to see them smiling and having fun, but the day was over.

“You guys can go home, you know.”

“We know.” Jungwoo said. “We were waiting for you.”

“Me?”

“Yeah. Dinner and then we can take you home.”

“I’m good, thanks. There are still somethings I-”

“Nope.” Johnny cut in. “Tomorrow is the big day, you should eat well and then get some rest.”

“It’d be a waste to go home considering how early I need to be here in the morning.”

“Are you gonna sleep here then?”

“…”

“You’re kidding.”

“You guys can go.”

“You’re coming with us.” Mark stated. “You can’t stay here.”

“You’re not the boss of me.”

“Easy now.” Taeyong spoke up. “It’s really not a good idea for you to stay here, especially without eating.”

“I’ll order something in a bit.”

“How about I propose something else.”

“Like what?”

“Well, my boys and I are staying in the penthouse suite. So why don’t you come up with us, we can get room service, and you can crash on one of our beds. That way you can get some good sleep and not worry about being so far from the ballroom. How does that sound?”

“I don’t know.”

“You need to be well rested. Tomorrow is the big day. I’m just trying to help.”

“Fine, but if any of your guys try anything I swear.”

“We’ll all behave. Promise.”

“Alright. Let me just grab my laptop.”

The prospect of sleeping in an actual bed was really too tempting to pass, so you went up with the guys to the penthouse suite. You were stunned by the view, heading over to the window and looking out at the city. It seemed to be alive in its own way at night, and you had never seen it like this before. Taeyong brought you over a menu and you ordered yourself something, getting to work in the meantime. You ate as you worked, glad you were left alone as well. When you finished up you decided to take a shower, staying in a dress robe afterwards.

“Ready for bed!?”

You yelled as you stepped out of the bathroom, seeing that Yuta had been waiting outside for you. He quickly apologized for startling you.

“Sorry, sorry, didn’t mean to scare you. Are you okay?”

“Yeah, yeah, I’m fine.”

“Cool. We have a room set aside for you. It’s all clean, so if you need anything else just let us know.”

“Thanks.”

“Sleep well.”

“I’ll try.”

🖤

To your own surprise you had no trouble falling asleep with a bunch of strangers just outside the door. Although to be fair you had locked the door just for your peace of mind. You woke to the sound of a knock at your door, getting up still half asleep. So when you opened the door you were a bit surprised to see Johnny. That startled you awake, and the boy apologized.

“I didn’t want to wake you, but I’m sure you’d give me an earful if you were late.”

“Yeah, I would. Thanks.”

“No problem. Breakfast is on the table. Come by and eat before you head down, okay?”

“I’ll be at the table soon.”

“Good.”

You dressed in your clothes from last night, planning to change when you went down. You left your show outfit there since you didn’t think you’d be going home at all, and you were right. Once dressed you joined the others at the table, greeting them. You were still a bit sleepy, but you ate nonetheless and then excused yourself. You reminded them what time you expected them down and then left. Today was the big day and everything had to be perfect. Of course you were the first one down there, starting to go over your checklist and preparing what you could. The staff knew what they had to do, so all they did was check in with you before going to work.

By seven the models began showing up, getting prepped. You had no time to chat with Taeyong or the others, and they knew not to bother you too much. Then came the decoration staff and you had to direct them. While you did that you also made sure to check with the tech crew as they set up the lights and everything. You needed them to be ready to run another rehearsal before Ta. No one was really happy to be here early, but that was the job. Soon enough you ran through the whole show. Any notes you had for the models you mentioned then and there. Honestly you wish there wasn’t one last rehearsal causing all this made you anxious.

Once that was done you made sure the final bits of decoration were done and then greeted the wait staff. The drinks and food needed to be set out and staff had to be given directions as well. You knew what kind of people came to these events, so one had to be mentally prepared for the type of things they might overhear. Somehow you were managing all this without a break. You didn’t know that but someone had been keeping an eye on you all day. When lunch time rolled around Taeyong came up to you, taking your hand and dragging you over to the food table. You knew arguing with him was pointless, and you would have most likely skipped lunch if not for him.

You ate a bit, not wanting to get too full and feel sleepy later on. After this the final preparations needed to be done, and it would soon be time to start welcoming guests. Vevee wouldn’t be here until show time, but until then you were in charge. Meaning that as the host you would need to greet everyone that came through to make sure they were on the guest list and tell them about the night’s event. You got dressed before then, doing your own hair and makeup. You made sure you could hide a walkie on you and anything else you might need while still looking presentable.You’d be representing Vevee and her company, so you needed to be at your best.

“Wow… you look amazing.”

“Huh?”

You were in the back, stepping out of one of the empty green rooms when you heard a voice. You looked over to see Jaehyun a few steps down the hall.

“Oh, yeah, thanks. You look good too, Vevee dressed us both.”

“Vevee picked your outfit?”

“Yeah. Not my first choice, but it’s nice. I gotta go, so behave and break a leg.”

“Thanks.”

Jaehyun watched you go for a moment before going off to find Taeyong. He found his hyung in the green room with the others. The event of the night has already begun and he probably should have mentioned this sooner but he has to be sure. Now he was.

“Taeyong.”

“Hm?”

“I can’t hear anyone’s heartbeat, except y/n’s.”

“What? When did you notice this?”

“When we got down here. Although I wasn’t sure what was going on since I was focused on getting ready and the rehearsal. Just now though I followed the only heartbeat I could hear and it led me to y/n.”

“Now that you mention it.” Jungwoo added. “I’m not picking up anyone’s scent. Although I am getting a faint whiff of y/n off Jaehyun.”

“What’s happening?”

“It’s the spell.” Taeyong reminded. “We’d lose our power as time went on. We’re close to death and it seems the last of our abilities are leading us to her.”

“Then it’s for sure her.” Haechan said. “Y/n is our queen.”

“Yeah.”

“Are we gonna do it tonight?”

“We don’t have much time left. Tonight would be good. Although we need to make sure the show goes well, understood?”

“Got it.”

As much as Taeyong might want to stay with his boys, he couldn’t. With their powers dwindling he was worried for them, but then again they didn’t have much of a blood lust either. With guests beginning to arrive he had to be out with them, he was the representing face of his boys. While he made some light conversation he’d always glance your way, seeing you up front greeting all the guests and offering assistance to anyone who needed it. Now that he was really able to see you, even from afar, he was quite mesmerized by your beauty. For the first time in a long time he could look upon someone and see them as they are, and not food. You were his regardless, but this was an added level of amazement.

Once the lights got low you were on stage making the announcement that the show would begin soon and for everyone to take their seat. All the important guests had their assigned seats and so did the photographers. Taeyong was in the front row noticing he’d be sitting next to Vevee, although he didn’t see a seat for you. As the people began to settle down he couldn’t see a place for you. It was upsetting but at the same time he understood you were running the show, so you probably wouldn’t actually be able to enjoy it like everyone else. The show started and Taeyong believed it went beautifully. All those present seemed to be enjoying themselves, and he made slight conversation with Vevee about the models, including his own.

Not once did he see you, but he could hear your heartbeat, knowing you were backstage. The end of the show was met with roaring applause, all the praise going to Vevee for her amazing designs and all her work. It left Taeyong with a faux smile and a butter taste knowing there was someone else who deserved more credit if not all of it. He wanted to go find you afterwards but he was dragged into conversations as other people wanted to work with him and his models. He has no interest but he couldn’t just disappear now. He had to wait until the very end, when everything was getting cleaned up. He found you then up on the runway, watching over the clean up.

“Great show.” Taeyong said as he walked the runway to you. “It was wonderful. You did a great job.”

“Thanks.” You smiled. “I’m just glad it’s over.”

“Are you finally gonna sleep?”

“For like a day at least before I have to get back to work.”

“What? You don’t get some time off after this?”

“Not really. There’s always something else going on.”

“That’s not really fair.”

“It’s the job.”

“Then how about dinner? No, wait, it’s really late and I’m sure you won’t be leaving soon, so how about breakfast, the day after tomorrow that is. Before you return to work.”

“I’ll consider it.”

“Cool. I should probably give you my number so that way we can keep in touch.”

“Sure. Here you go.”

Taeyong took your phone and added his number in, sending himself a message to make sure he had your number. He handed it back to you, giving you a smile.

“You know, there is something I need to talk with you about.”

“What is it?”

“Not here, but in private. I’ll save it for breakfast.”

“I never said I would go.”

“But I hope you will.”

“I-”

“What’s this?” Vevee walked down the runway. “Having a private conversation I see.”

“Nothing like that Vevee.” You assured. “Congratulations on another successful show.”

“Of course it was a success, you know I’m the best.”

“Precisely.”

“Y/n did a lot to help prepare the show tonight.” Taeyong mentioned. “She deserves some time off.”

“Taeyong.”

“Ah, so is that it?” Vevee questioned. “This whole time you’ve offered to do her job for her, and now you’re even trying to give her credit for my show and get her some time off? Are you trying to take y/n away from me?”

“Vevee, I would never-”

“You can have her.”

“… what… Vevee-”

“If she needs help to do her job, and has to have someone else fight battles for her, then she’s no longer as good as she used to be. So if you want something old and worn go ahead, I won’t stop you.”

“Vevee…”

“Go on now, do as you please.”

You couldn’t believe what you were hearing. After everything you had done, your boss was so quick to discard you. This didn’t make any sense, but for Vevee the conversation was over. You followed her as she turned back, fumbling with your words and trying to figure out what to say. Taeyong intended to do the same, realizing what he had done only to have you throw a death glare his way and make him stop. That would be his mistake.

You kept trying to talk to Vevee about this but she wasn’t listening. Without really meaning to you grabbed her arm, pleading with her, but your actions upset her. Instead she wound up shoving you away, which in turn had you stumble back towards the edge of the runway. Taeyong could see what was about to happen, intending to use his power to get to you, regardless of him exposing himself, but when he took a step he realized he couldn’t move fast enough. Instead he could only watch as you fell off the runway, crashing into the chairs below. Soon enough the smell of blood, your blood, hit him.

“Y/n!”

“Oh dear, she must be drunk.” Vevee remarked. “Useless girl.”

Taeyong ran over, jumping down and noticing the blood pooling around your head. He was panicking, and soon enough the rest of his members came over, the smell of blood calling them. You felt dizzy, and you could barely make out your surroundings. The voices around you sounded far away, but you could feel someone holding you.

“What happened!?” Doyoung questioned. “What did you do?”

“It wasn’t me, it was that bitch.” Taeyong explained. “She pushed y/n off the runway.”

“Her heartbeat is slow.” Yuta mentioned. “We need to get her to a hospital.”

“Right… right…”

Taeyong picked you up in his arms, Mark using his jacket to cradle your head. They all made it to the elevator, intending to go down, but Johnny merely shut the elevator doors and kept them that way.

“Johnny, what are you doing!?” Haechan said. “She’s losing blood.”

“We can’t take her to the hospital.”

“What?”

“If we take her to the hospital the doctors will take her from us, and we’ll have no way of reaching her. What if she dies? Her life isn’t the only one on the line right now.”

“We don’t know that she’ll die.”

“Even if she lives, we don’t have that much time left.”

“You-”

“He’s right.” Taeyong interrupted. “I… I watched her fall… I couldn’t reach her… none of us have much time… Johnny, take her.”

Johnny did as he was told, hitting the button for the penthouse suite before taking you in his arms. Taeyong pulled out a small box from his coat pocket, getting out the vial that contained all their blood. He couldn’t be gentle with you in this state, forcing your mouth open and carefully pouring the contents of the vial down your throat. You choked on it a bit, but it was important you drank it all. When the elevator chimed they were in their suite, completely alone.

“What do we do now?” Mark questioned.

“We make her comfortable.” Taeyong stated. “This could drag on or be over in a few minutes.”

“… it’s cold…” You mumbled. “… it hurts… my head…”

“Sh, sh, it’s going to be okay.” Jaehyun cooed. “Everything’s going to be just fine.”

“… hm…”

Despite knowing you’d survive, it still hurt them not being able to do anything to help. Johnny took you to the bedroom, laying you down. A moment later Haechan and Yuta came in, doing their best to clean you up and keep you comfortable. You didn’t seem to be in much pain, which was a relief, but they all kind of felt guilty. Truth was you had to die in order for them all to live, but this wasn’t how they imagined things to go. It was the last step, but so much had gotten in the way. They had to be better once you were back. They took turns tending to you all night, but by sunrise the penthouse was quiet. No one could hear the sound of your heartbeat.

“How long… until she wakes?” Yuta wondered. “What do we do until then?”

“We wait.” Taeyong stated. “This will be like any usual transition. It’s different for everyone. I do need some of you to get her some clothes, and others to run a warm bath to clean her up properly. She’s gonna be disoriented when she wakes up, and we all need to be on our best behavior.”

“Got it.”

They were all a bit awkward, never having cared for someone in such a manner. Jaehyun got a warm bath going, making sure they had the necessities to properly prepare you. Three of the others examined your clothes for sizes and went off to get you some new things. Two others went off to get the food you would need. By now they had about a day left before they’d meet their own end, but they were all more concerned with you above all else. They had cleaned up the room you were in, and carefully dressed you in some comfortable clothes. The hours really dragged on, but they just had to be patient.

🖤

You inhaled softly, your eyes fluttering open. There was a dryness in your throat, and a low ringing in your ear that was starting to get louder. You groaned as you sat up, wanting to get out of bed. At the moment your memories were hazy, but you needed to get something to drink. You managed to get your legs under you, although you were unsteady with every step. You leaned against the hall when you got out of the room, although the noises around you were getting louder and louder. You fell to your knees, placing your hands over your ears but it did little to help.

“Y/n! You’re awake.”

Doyoung found you curled up on the floor, glad to see you were up, but also worried upon seeing the state you were in.

“What’s wrong?”

“Loud… everything’s so loud…”

“Yeah, that tends to overwhelm you the most. Just focus on one thing for now, like your heartbeat. Try to drown everything else out except for that.”

You did your best to follow Doyoung’s directions as he kept chatting with you. It was difficult at first to really hone in on your own heartbeat, but slowly you managed, all the other sounds fading away. Although, once you really began to listen you realized how slow it was beating, and that was scaring you.

“Y/n, what’s wrong?”

“My heart… am I dying…”

“Uh, well… it’s complicated… do you remember the other night? After the show?”

“The show… I… I was…”

You didn’t know when the tears started falling, but they were present as a bunch of memories came rushing in. You screamed and grabbed your head, looking for the injury, the blood, but there was nothing. You seemed to be fine, but that was far from the truth. Doyoung wasn’t sure what to do at the moment, but he pulled you into his arms, holding you close and trying to sooth you, not wanting you to hurt yourself. By now you had attracted attention, and the others came by to see what was going on. Everyone was glad to see you up, but not in this state.

“Y/n, it’s okay, everything is okay.” Taeyong got down to your level. “You’re just fine.”

“She… she…”

“Sh, sh, you’re not hurt. Everything is alright now.”

“No… no… what happened? What’s going on? Everything… everything’s wrong, it’s wrong!”

“Why do you say that?”

“It’s so loud… and my throat hurts and… and… I’m supposed to be dead… aren’t I?”

“Y/n…”

“Please, just tell me what’s happening…”

Taeyong sighed. “You are dead, y/n.”

“… what…”

“You died the other night, you bled out. You wouldn’t make it to the hospital… so we brought you here instead… and we saved you…”

“Saved me…? Ha… how? You… you said…”

“I know it’s a lot but I can explain.”

“Why… why would you… why me…”

It was hard to accept the words you were being told, and it was getting difficult to breathe. You had lost focus, starting to get overwhelmed by all the sounds around you. It wasn’t long before you wound up passing out, making them all worry.

“Y/n!” Taeyong yelled. “Y/n!”

He gently grabbed your face, placing a finger under your nose to make sure you were breathing. Everything he had said probably got to you.

“Get her back to her room, and someone get her some food. She’ll wake up again soon.”

Haechan and Yuta went off to find you some food, and the others all got you back to bed. No one left the room, everyone waiting around for you to regain consciousness. The silence was driving them all mad, but upon hearing your whimper they grew still. You opened your eyes, seeing that you were in the same room as before. Nothing had changed, so this most likely wasn’t a dream. You slowly sat up, a bit startled when you saw all the other boys in the room.

“Hey, how are you feeling?” Johnny asked. “Better?”

“It’s still loud…” You took a deep breath to focus your hearing, but your own heartbeat was still making you uneasy. “I’m… I’m really dead…”

“You died.” Jaehyun corrected. “But you’re not actually dead.”

“Then what am I…”

“Do you believe in vampires?”

“They’re not… real…”

“We very much are.”

“So… are you all…” You looked around the room. “… vampires… am I…?”

“Yes.” Mark confirmed. “You’re just like us.”

“… why…”

“What do you mean?”

“Why me… why did you save me? I… I don’t understand…”

“Because-”

“Let me be honest.” Taeyong cut in. “It’s always been you.”

“What?”

Despite everything being so new to you Taeyong wanted to be honest from the beginning. You had eternity together, and if not, you’d all go to the grave as one. He sat down at the edge of the bed, gently reaching over to take your hand in his.

“Remember how I told you we came here looking for something.”

“Yeah…”

“Well, that something was you.”

“… why…”

“You can call it destiny. We came to this place in search of a better life, and our journey led us to you. I honestly should have known from the start. A girl with fire like you, I don’t think I’d want anyone else.” Taeyong chuckled. “Truth is, we’re all connected through you now. We needed someone so we’d be reborn as something better, just like you.”

“Me…?”

“You are my queen now.” Taeyong kissed your hand. “Of course things are more complicated than they seem, but we’re here for you, and we will take care of you.”

“… a queen…”

“Just like a bee hive. We’re here for you. I really wanted to explain all this to you before but… we couldn’t just let you die, especially since we’d die with you.”

“What?”

“I know it’s a lot to take in, but there is still something else. In order for everything to be alright, we do need to drink your blood.”

“My… my blood?”

“Yes. I understand this is all still new to you, and the idea probably seems crazy, but as you get used to all this you’ll see that you’re far stronger than you can imagine. Stronger than us even.”

“… and if you don’t?”

“We’ll definitely die, and I’m pretty sure you will too…”

“Oh…”

“You don’t need to decide right now, but I do need-”

“Here.” You held out your wrist. “Let’s get it over with.”

“If you’re not-”

“I don’t want you guys to die.”

“You sure?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, but this is gonna feel… weird.”

Taeyong grabbed your wrist, placing a gentle kiss on it before exposing his fangs and biting you. A loud gasp escaped your lips followed by a rush of euphoria. Your eyes were wide and you had your head thrown back a bit. You didn’t even realize when Taeyong had pulled away, not until he was reaching up to caress your cheek.

“How do you feel?”

“Definitely… weird…”

“I thought so, but you’re okay, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Good. You think you can do it again?”

“Sure.”

You were still a bit out of it, but you certainly felt another pair of fangs dig into your wrist. That same pleasurable feeling coarse through you again, and you wound up laying back on the bed. You felt a hand on your head, seeing Yuta smiling down at you.

“You still okay?”

“Hm…”

“You do need to eat too.”

“I’m not hungry…”

“You said your throat was dry earlier.”

“Oh yeah…”

“Come on. Let’s get you back up.”

Yuta helped you sit back up, making sure you were leaning against the headboard. You saw him bring a thermos to your lips. A strange scent hit your nose. It was something unfamiliar, but it smelled amazing. Yuta carefully tilted up the thermos, letting you get a taste of strange liquid. As soon as you had a drop on your tongue you grabbed the thermos and drank it all. It felt refreshing and invigorating. You wanted more, but the thermos was empty.

“Easy, easy. We have plenty more.”

“What is it?”

“What do you think, you’re a vampire.”

“Ah… blood… tastes better than I thought…”

All the boys seemed to laugh, and their easy going vibes were certainly putting you at ease. Everything was so new to you, but having them there made you feel better. You still didn’t quite understand this connection they mentioned, and what was in store for you down the line, but at least you weren’t scared. You had some more blood, and the others took turns biting you. Each one still felt just as amazing as the last. Afterwards they let you rest and you certainly slept the day away. You were a bit surprised to wake up later to find yourself alone, but you could hear noises just outside the door. The others were around, so you weren’t truly alone.

You carefully got out of bed, feeling a lot stronger than before. You managed to walk out of the room and made your way down the hall. As you stepped into the living room you noticed the sun shining in. It caught you a bit by surprise, but before you could really take it in you heard someone scream and then you were on the floor. Mark had tackled you to the ground, keeping you close while the two of you laid behind the couch. You had no idea what was going on and you were a bit too scared to ask. After the initial attack Mark was doting on you, making sure you were alright.

“You okay? You’re not hurt, are you?”

“I’m fine… why did you…”

“You’re still a baby, the sun can hurt you.”

“The sun? It didn’t hurt though…”

“It didn’t?”

“No…”

You carefully pulled away from Mark, getting on your knees. You slowly lifted up your hand above the couch, feeling the sunlight against your skin. There was a bit of a tingle, but it definitely didn’t hurt. Mark was a bit stunned, getting up and helping you to your feet as well.

“I guess you’re a lot more powerful than I thought.”

“Sorry.”

“For what?”

“I didn’t mean to scare you like that.”

“You were just worried and looking out for me. I appreciate it.”

“No problem. You hungry?”

“Kinda…”

“Then let’s get you some food.”

You sat at the dining table as Mark got you some food. A few of the others joined you later on, Mark getting scolded once they learned about what he did. You assured everyone you were fine and there was no need to yell at the boy. Although, since they had your attention, there was something to discuss.

“Y/n.”

“Hm?”

“I know you’re still adjusting to everything, but it would be best if we took you home.”

“Home?”

“We only came here to find you.” Doyoung said. “And now that we did, it’s best we get you somewhere better suited for you as you start this new chapter with us.”

“I see…”

“It won’t be easy to just let everything go.” Jaehyun added. “But you have time.”

“I might, but not everything else.”

“We can stay a while longer, but it’s best we leave.” Taeyong mentioned. “We need to pack your things and-”

“I need to see her again.”

“No.”

“You don’t even-”

“Who else would you want to see at this point? I know who you’re talking about, and the answer is no.”

“You said I’m your queen, so you listen to me.”

“It’s our job to do what’s best for you, and seeing that bitch isn’t it.”

“I’m not gonna do anything. I just… I just want to see her one last time… please.”

“Fine, but not alone.”

“I understand.”

It kinda felt surreal, going back to your own place and packing your things. Your life had drastically changed in a matter of hours, and there was no going back. Even though it had been a couple of days since the whole incident, you knew exactly where Vevee would be. She wasn’t one to change her schedule, especially for someone like you. So Johnny, Haechan, and Taeyong accompanied you into a restaurant. Vevee always enjoyed her brunch meetings, if you could actually call them that. You didn’t worry about reservation or staff, you just walked in knowing the boys would deal with the other things.

“Vevee.”

It wasn’t hard to find your former boss, and you just walked up to the table. There was a lot you wanted to say, but in the moment you kinda locked up, and of course she spoke her mind.

“Ah, finally put yourself back together I see. Have you come to apologize? You left a mess at-”

“Are you fucken serious right now?”

“Language. You-”

“Shut up! You fucken killed me and you don’t even care? I guess your pathetic brain can’t even comprehend your actions.”

“Excuse me?” Vevee got up. “Watch your fucken tone with me.”

“Fuck you! You’re a terrible person, and you can’t do anything on your own. After that last show, I’m done. I quit.”

“You quit? Just like that?”

“Goodbye.”

Vevee scoffed. “You are never going to work in this industry. I-”

“I don’t care. I’m not even sure I want to, but if I ever do, I’ll do so over your dead body. Have a nice life.”

You walked away without another word, not caring to hear anything more. You may not have said everything you wanted to, but at least you made your peace. The boys were waiting for you, offering you comforting smiles. You followed them out to the car waiting. As you drove off you couldn’t help but look out the window and watch the city pass you by. This place was once your home, you gave it a lot of you, and now you were leaving. You didn’t think things would go down this way, but it wasn’t really a goodbye. You could come back here someday, but you’ll be very different, and the city itself might be different too.

“Are you alright?” Taeyong asked. “Is there something else you need to do?”

“No, no, I’m just… I’ll be okay… right?”

“Of course. We’re here for you.”

“Thanks.”
