Only Can Hope (1/1)

Chapter 08: Only Can Hope The three girls were in Seohyun’s room chatting away since they had nothing else to do. “So... Seohyun,” Tiffany started. “How many relationships have you been in?” She then paused. “Wait, how old are you, anyway?” “Two hundred and four.” “Oh, I just realised something.” Tiffany grinned. “All of you, your ages all ends with a four. Like TaeYeon’s two hundred and sixty-four, Sooyoung’s two hundred and twenty-four and well, you’re two hundred and four.” Seohyun shrugged. “Maybe our parents like the number, four?” “But Sooyoung’s your cousin.” Jessica commented before returning to type on her phone. “Oh, right!” Seohyun grinned sheepishly. Tiffany got up and knocked Seohyun’s head lightly. “Aigoo. You know, if you were a human, you would be a very cute dongsaeng to me.” Seohyun pouted. “So you're saying that I'm not cute because I'm old?” “Of course not! You're still cute.” Tiffany said and Seohyun smiled happily. “So, back to the question now.” Tiffany have not forgotten what she wanted to ask in the first place. “What question?” Seohyun feigned ignorance and asked innocently. “Now, don't go around pretending that you forgot, young lady.” Tiffany said sternly. All Seohyun could do was sigh. “Okay, fine. I had some.” Even Jessica who was bored was now interested. She got up and scooted closer to the two. “How many?” “Hmm...” Seohyun placed a finger onto her chin. “Nine?” “Nine?!” Jessica shouted while Tiffany choked on her saliva. “Shhh!” Seohyun scolded and blushed. “Seriously, nine?” Tiffany asked to double confirm. Seohyun nodded. The two humans sighed. “Nine... You've lived for two hundred years and you've only been in nine relationships...” Tiffany shook her head. “You're too innocent, Seohyun-ah.” “Huh?” The said girl tilted her head. “Never mind her.” Jessica remarked. “So, all vampires?” “Yes.” “All... boys?” Tiffany asked since she was born in the states and was quite open about it. Anyways, she was seriously curious of vampires’ preferences too. Seohyun blushed again. “What the heck is with that question, Tiff.” “Just curious.” She shrugged. “Erm, well... I've had three boyfriends.” Seohyun said, shyly. “I've tried to make things work out with them but I guess I just couldn't because of my... mind-set?” She tilted her head. “What do you mean?” “Well... they were very rough towards me and... I don't know, their stares are just...” “Just?” “Just so perverted. Almost like an old perverted old man’s stare.” Tiffany and Jessica looked at one another before bursting into fits of laughter. Seohyun blushed again and waved her hands around frantically. “Don't laugh!” “Okay, okay. I won't tease anymore.” Tiffany said while holding in her laughter. “So... Have you had your first?” Jessica asked with a smirk. “Jess!” Tiffany scolded. Jessica ignored her and continued to stare at Seohyun intensely. “First?” Seohyun raised her eyebrow. “You mean first kiss? Of course I've had.” Jessica shook her head. “No, not that. Do I really have to say it?” “Go ahead.” Seohyun answered nonchalantly. “Jess.” Tiffany hissed. “Have you lost your virginity?” Seohyun had her eyes widened at the question. “Come to think of it, is there any difference between a human and a vampire?” Jessica probed further, still unaware of the glare that Tiffany was sending her. “Alright, that's enough!” Tiffany said and successfully shut Jessica up. She narrowed her eyes at Jessica who raised her eyebrow at her before turning to smile at the still shocked Seohyun. She chuckled and waved her hands in f
