Vol. 1 Chapter 2.10 - A Strange Cohabitation with a Natural Enemy (10)
His body, which had been locked away like a person imprisoned for a lifetime, was now unleashed. Si-wol, without even realizing that Ian’s blood was flowing profusely from his chin, desperately sucked on it.
He felt like he was about to lose consciousness. In his dazed mind, such thoughts came to him. The more he drank Ian’s blood, the more he felt a strange sense of buoyancy. His vision gradually blurred, and a tingling sensation spread around his waist. And soon, Si-wol realized the nature of that sensation.
“….
Heut
!”
Si-wol, who suddenly became aware of his own condition, was startled and froze. He couldn’t move any further, leaving Ian’s blood flowing out.
“Why? Can’t you drink anymore?”
Ian asked, watching Si-wol’s movements. Judging by his momentum, it seemed like he was going to drink every drop of blood from his body, so it was quite unexpected for him to suddenly stop.
However, Si-wol had his reasons as well.
‘Heuk! Wha-what should I do….’
Si-wol whimpered and furrowed his eyebrows. He couldn’t retract his fangs, but he couldn’t drink anymore either. He was stuck in a state where he couldn’t do this or that.
“I’m fine, so drink more.”
Ian said firmly, and Si-wol cautiously raised his head. Only then could Ian see Si-wol’s face.
“…Lee Si-wol?”
Si-wol’s once pale face was completely flushed. Not only that, but his ears, neck, and every exposed part of his body were burning red. It was as if he had a high fever.
Even his eyes couldn’t meet Ian’s gaze and kept avoiding it. When Ian saw the cold sweat on his forehead, it felt like something was seriously wrong.
“I guess your body doesn’t take my blood well after actually drinking it, huh?”
Ian chose the most plausible guess among various possibilities and asked. However, a fierce rejection came back.
“Is it because my blood doesn’t taste good?”
Ian asked, wondering if that was the reason. But once again, he received a vehement denial. It seemed like there was something bothering Si-wol, but every question he asked was met with a firm denial, which only made him more suspicious.
At that moment, Si-wol, who had been biting his lip for a while, pleaded in a trembling voice.
“I’m really, really sorry…
Heuk
. Please, please let go of my hand.”
Si-wol shook his bound hands, trembling in fear.
“What if I don’t?”
In truth, Ian had a rough idea of what would happen if he released Si-wol’s hand. Nothing significant would occur. But he was curious. What was Si-wol hiding behind that flushed face?
“If I let go, who knows what you might do.”
“I won’t do anything… I really have no ulterior motives, so please…”
Si-wol finally burst into tears, large teardrops streaming down his face. His long, wet eyelashes were soaked with moisture as he covered his eyes and sobbed.
Ian couldn’t understand. It would have been so much easier if Si-wol just explained the reason. But instead, he remained silent, frustrating Ian. What should he do with this pitiful crybaby? In the end, Ian decided to give in and asked for the reason.
“
Haa
… What’s the reason you suddenly stopped drinking?”
But before he could finish his question, he noticed something.
“When did you get hard?”
Ian fixed his gaze on Si-wol’s lower body and asked. Si-wol’s eyes widened with tears pooling in them, frozen in place at the direct question about the situation.
“
Heuk
! You’re so mean…”
Si-wol trembled, his lips quivering with embarrassment and shame.
“
Heuuk
! I-I need to go to the b-bathroom. Please, let me go,
heuk
!”
Still, with both arms held behind his back, Si-wol couldn’t do anything. He couldn’t even wipe away his tears or conceal his erect penis pushing against his pants. So, he tried his best to escape without being noticed, but Ian caught on first.
‘Heuk! It’s been so long since I’ve tasted fresh blood, I didn’t expect to get aroused so quickly…’
Si-wol had his own plan as well. He intended to drink just the right amount of blood and leave before any physical changes occurred. Unfortunately, he failed, but at least Si-wol had a somewhat haphazard plan.
“Please, let me go. I-I need to go to the b-bathroom…”
I’ll take care of it alone.
Si-wol couldn’t bring himself to say anything more and tears rolled down his cheeks like beads.
‘Surely, he’ll think I’m a pervert! A perverted vampire, a lewd demon…’
Whether as a vampire or as a former human, he felt his minimal dignity being tarnished.
‘Every time I get involved with this human, I only end up regretting it. Whyyy…’
The more he thought about it, the more unfair and upset he felt, and his sobs burst out uncontrollably. He just wanted to put a silver stake in his own heart and disappear from the world. He thought that maybe becoming a cautionary icon for other vampires, labeled as ‘someone who committed suicide out of shame,’ would be the only way to salvage his fallen honor.
However, the hunter who held onto him showed no intention of letting go.
“No.”
“…What?”
“I can’t let you go to the bathroom.”
“W-Why?!”
As Si-wol struggled in rebellion against Ian’s firm refusal, Ian tightened his grip on Si-wol’s wrists, which were crossed over each other.
“I can’t let you go out of my sight.”
“…..!”
Thump
. Si-wol’s heart pounded heavily, as if it were rolling on the floor. Even though there was no other meaning to his words, they strangely sounded significant and ambiguous.
Clearly, what he meant was that he couldn’t let Si-wol disappear from his sight because he didn’t know what he might do. But why did Si-wol, the one listening to those words, feel like the protagonist being obsessed over in a drama? Was it because of his incredibly handsome appearance that could rival a celebrity? Or was it because of the serious gaze that was staring at him more intensely than ever? Was that why, even in this urgent situation, he wanted to be locked in Ian’s sight?
In an instant, Si-wol snapped out of his daze.
“N-No. We’re both men, so you know… And besides, because I drank your blood, it won’t subside…”
Si-wol pleaded, trying to appear as pitiful as possible. His aroused member protruded prominently through the loose training pants. The blood that had gained vitality in Si-wol’s body was gradually gathering downwards. It was so painful and tingling with excitement that tears of a different meaning welled up.
Whether Ian knew about Si-wol’s inner turmoil or not, he still opened his mouth with a stern expression.
“So, if you want to resolve it, resolve it in front of me.”
“…What?!”
Are you out of your mind?! A sharp ringing sound passed by Si-wol’s ear.
A moment ago, the hunter had generously offered his blood to the vampire, and now he was commanding him to perform a masturbation show in front of him, as if it were nothing surprising. Si-wol was not just shocked, but paralyzed with fear.
Si-wol struggled to move his stiff tongue. He couldn’t bear it without asking.
“Are you serious…?”
In truth, he wanted to ask, “You’re more curious about how vampires masturbate, right?” After all, he had shown a subtle interest in his own birth and ecology.
Si-wol desperately hoped it was just a joke. Whether it was an actual answer to the question or an answer to an unasked question. Or just saying that it was a joke because he found Si-wol’s surprised reaction amusing. Please, please!
“Aren’t we not the type to joke around with each other?”
“Ah…”
Like a sigh escaping from his pale lips, his soul seemed to leave his body. Si-wol found the god he had lost since becoming a vampire once again.
