'Markie~ Gimme attention~'

Mark was sitting on his bed, back against the headboard and phone in hand. Donghyuck was cuddled up against him with his nose rubbing the older's neck.

'Wait a minute, baby.' Mark wasn't giving him attention and Donghyuck hated that. He thought by dating Mark he would get all of his attention, but apparently he was so wrong.

'Mark, I'm going with Jaemin and Jeno. Want to come? You can come too, Donghyuck.' Jungwoo opened the door to invite the two to hang out.

'Yeah su-'

'No!' Donghyuck cut off Mark's words. 'You can leave. We're staying here.'

'Oh... okay...' Jungwoo left the two alone. He was the first one to know about their recent relationship, so he wasn't surprised Donghyuck would want to spend time alone with his boyfriend.

Once Donghyuck was sure Jungwoo had left he took Mark's phone out of his grasp.

'So, your eyes are glued to the phone for hours while ignoring me and the only moment you pay attention to your surroundings is to look at Jungwoo?'

'Sorry... I didn't want to be rude...'

'You don't want to be rude to Jungwoo but you don't mind it if it's me?'

'No- It's not that-'

'Then what is it?'

'I... I'm sorry for ignoring you, baby...'

Donghyuck pouted cutely and threw the phone somewhere else, pretending not to hear his boyfriend.

'Babyy forgive me~'

Mark's face got close to his in an attempt to kiss him, but the younger turned his head around, avoiding him.

'What do I have to do for you to forgive me?'

'I don't know. You find out.'

'Fine then.'

Mark switched their positions, laying Donghyuck on the mattress and hovering over him.

Chenle was in the shop, it was his turn to work. He always worked in the afternoons, since he was at school all morning. He didn't have study session with Jisung that day, since due to his job they accorded to meet every other day to study instead of every day.

He was so distracted reading the different labels of the perfume bottles he didn't realize a certain tall male walking through the glass door.

'Chenle!'

'Oh! Jisung!'

'I heard you were working here, so I came to pay a visit.'

Lie. Jisung actually followed the older until he saw him get into the local to work. However, Chenle couldn't know that, he would be creeped out by the younger's actions if he did.

Chenle giggled and blushed lightly, barely noticeable. Jisung looked around in silence for a few minutes until his gaze went back to Chenle.

'I want to buy cologne too!'

'Well, maybe you should go to a cologne shop then.'

'Huh?'

'This is a perfume shop, you dumbass. It's 'Qian's perfume' not 'Qian's cologne'.'

'Isn't that the same?'

Chenle laughed at Jisung's silliness.

'Noo. Perfume is way more expensive because it has more oils and lasts longer.'

Jisung let out a soft 'oh' as his cheeks reddened in embarrasment.

'So... Can I buy a perfume or..?'

'Yeah sure. What do you want?'

Something that reminds me of you. Jisung wanted to say that so badly, but he couldn't expose himself like that.

'Something... soft... I don't really know. Which one do you recommend me the most?'

'Uhm... What about this one?' Chenle showed him a beautiful bottle, shaped like an apple. He took a sample paper and sprayed some perfume on it. He handed it to Jisung to let him smell it.

Jisung smelled it. It was a soft and delicate smell. It really reminded him of Chenle...

He smiled at the older and nodded.

Yangyang was still waiting in front of the house. He had seen someone exit it a while ago, but his target was still in. He sighed as he checked the time. If Mark didn't leave in the next two hours, he would give up and try again next day.

'Did you two have fun?'

'Huh?'

'Your hickeys are so visible, Johnny. I know he didn't want you as a 'secretary'.'

'Will he get in trouble?'

'You're about to be stabbed and all you care about is him?' Dejun laughed at the vampire as he held the knife, deciding where he would insert it.

'Am I going to die?' Johnny said. At this point he didn't care. He had lost all hopes of seeing Mark and his friends again and Ten was messing with his mind way too much. He constantly dreamt of Taeil and guilt was devouring his soul.

'Nah. We can't lose you yet. Who would we try our knives with, otherwise?' The knife pierced through the vampire's skin, leaving a wound in Johnny's side. It was about three centimeters wide and fifteen centimeters deep.

Johnny didn't even scream. At this point, he was used to it. His body started healing as soon as the blade was out of his side.

A few minutes of silence and Dejun was wiping the dried blood off the place where the wound had been. It was completely healed by now.

'Seven minutes, thirty-two seconds and five milliseconds exactly.'

Dejun stabbed Johnny's side once again, in the same exact place, with the difference that this time he poured a liquid on it. The liquid felt ticklish, and somehow it made Johnny's wound heal faster.

'Sicheng made this from the blood we drew from you last day.'

'Why are you telling me this?'

'Do I have someone else to talk to?'

'...'

'Being in this lab with no other humans is boring sometimes, you know? Oh, yeah. I forgot. You're the only vampire here too. Aren't you bored? Should we get you a friend?'

'Are you going to kidnap another vampire and force him to be my friend or..?'

'My initial idea was to get a female vampire and... you know... vampire reproduction. But Kun told us not to.'

This sick motherfucker wanted to force me to have children...

'Just kidding. We don't need female vampires to make baby vampires. We can just clone you!'

Johnny's terrified look amused Dejun. He liked messing with the vampire, it was his only distraction.

'So... Who's the top?' Dejun was determined to engage in a random conversation that would make the vampire flustered.

'What do you mean?'

'You know exactly what I mean. Between you and... how do you call him? Ten? Who's the top?'

'...me.'

'Pfffft... You?'

'Yeah.'

'I'll ask him how good you are in bed. Or in desk. Or maybe in wall. I don't know where the two of you fuck. But it sure as hell isn't a bed.'
