Chapter 4 *Attraction* (1/1)

When the next day came around, I made sure to steer clear of Dara’s path to avoid questioning. The students weren’t thinking about the incident so I guess she never told them. Today we were supposed to be going on some stupid field trip to a garden. I wasn’t interested in the least. While we were waiting to board to bus, I caught a glimpse as Dara.She was talking to that Donghae kid. She caught me staring and looked at me. There was annoyance in her eyes. Maybe I was glaring again because Minzy suddenly hit me. Get a grip, Jiyong. I don’t want you scaring away my future in law. “Shut. Up.” I whispered so only she could her.Over at Dara’s side I listened in on their conversation. “So, I was wondering…do you…uh…want to go to prom with me?”Dara was distracted for a moment but then out of nowhere a snow ball hit her in the face. I turned and saw that Chaerin was the culprit behind that. I glared at her. She stuck her tongue out at me and went into the bus with Seungri. “Are you alright, Dara?”“Yeah…I’m fine.”“So…what do you think?”“I just said I’m fine…”“No, meant, do you want to go to the dance…with me?” Say no! Say no!Leave me alone, heart!“Oh! Dancing…ah…not a very good thing for me…I was actually going to be out of town that weekend anyway… you should ask Sohee…I know she really wanted to go with you.”I was amused. I could tell she was lying. It was written all over her face. Donghae looked so disappointed. He left and then another guy approached Dara. I recognized him as Wooyoung. “So, I heard you don’t have a date to the dance, so I was wondering—““Sorry, Wooyoung. I’m a little busy that weekend…”“Oh, I see…”And another one goes down. I restrained myself from laughing. Her fan boys just kept coming!  I loved seeing at irritated look on her face. She caught me smirking and glared at me. Oh, yes…kill me that death glare! Her death glare wasn’t even scary. “Okay, everyone board the bus!” The teacher announced.Dara and I rode on separate buses so I didn’t know what was really going on in the bus. All I could do was listen to the thoughts of the people in the other bus and if they talked about Dara. “Damn that Dara! What do the guys see in her anyways?” I recognized that voice as Sohee’s.“And why the hell is Kwon Jiyong always staring at her?! I don’t see anything special in her. Plus, she so clumsy and wears those ugly tom boy clothes!” Shut up bitch!  Dara is beautiful.Did I just think that?Yes…Shit…Indeed…When my “family” first moved here, Sohee would day dream about me ALL THE TIME. As in, almost a daily basis. Of course I would read her mind and see her day dreams. They weren’t realistic. I wouldn’t ever fall for a human like her. Once, she even dreamed about me kissing her. Hell, if I ever kissed a human, I’d probably end up a) losing it, b)possibly sucking their soul out, and c) well, I don’t know a c but it seemed logical to put a c there because it’s awkward if it’s just a and b… yeah…When we got to that garden place, we all spread out in separate groups. I stayed with Minzy, Daesung, Chaerin, and Seungri. We weren’t really paying attention since, well, what the fuck were a bunch of vampires going to do with the knowledge of plants? We wouldn’t do shit with that. I stopped in front of a rose bush and got lured in by the scent. It reminded me so much of Dara’s scent.Someone brushed by my shoulder. I turned and realized it was Dara. She paused for a second and then walked on, clearly pissed. FUCK! “I’m sorry about yesterday.” I said.“Amazing, you’re actually speaking to me…”“Look, I said I was sorry.”“How did you stop the car from hitting me?”“An adrenaline rush…you can…uh…Google it.” You can Google it? What the hell was I thinking? “Sure…”So we walked through the garden in silence. It wasn’t like I really cared but it felt awkward. You could slice a bit of awkwardness out of the air. I noticed Minzy and Daesung smiling again while Chaerin was giving a look of disgust. Seungri was poking a dead animal with a stick. “You’re falling. Kwon Jiyong is falling for a human!” Minzy sang in her head.I ignored her and the rest of my stupid “family”. Dara was looking up at me with a weird expression on her face. Suddenly Sohee came by smiling happily. “Omg! Like, Donghae asked me to go to prom! Ahh!” Her scream was annoying.“I’ll leave you to talk with your friend…”I flashed her a peace sign and went to join my family.When it was time for everyone to do, I saw Dara walking by herself to the bus. I caught up with her. “You should really stay away from me.” She turned to look at me.“Uh…actually, you’re the one who’s following me…”“I just came here to tell you that you should stay away from me. Yeah, and now I’m going to avoid you again.”“Wait, what?”“Yeah, w-we shouldn’t be friends.”She looked at me in disbelief. “You know, if you regret saving my life so much, why the hell did you save me in first place?”“You think I regret saving you?” Wait, why did I say that?Because you care about her! Haven’t you been listening to me?I ignored my heart once again. Stupid heart! I thought my heart was supposed to be dead! “Well, I don’t know what else to make of it! You’re acting like your regret saving me! I know you do.”“You don’t know anything.”“Hi! Are you ridding in the bus with us?” Minzy flashed a sweet smile.“No, she’s not. The bus is full.”~*~                I stared at him in disbelief as he boarded the bus. What the fuck was that all about?! First he’s all nice, then he saves me life, and now he’s all “we shouldn’t be friends”. Someone really should send this asshole to a mental institute. I growled and boarded the other bus. While I was boarding the bus, I kept thinking of ways to destroy Kwon Jiyong.                He was so frickin irritating and so hard to keep up with. I thought about getting a dog, having it attack him, and then I would shoot Jiyong, and roll him off a cliff.  I also thought about ripping his ball—“Dara, watch out!” Wooyoung shouted.                “What…?”                There was some weird pole thing and I ended up walking into it. I fell onto my back. Great, now I just looked like an idiot! Stupid Kwon Jiyong! This was all his fault! If he wasn’t so damn annoying and confusing and—and beautiful, and had such a great smile and---what the hell was I thinking?! Beautiful…? Great smile…? I think the pole messed my head up because I wasn’t thinking straight.                Wooyoung helped me off the ground and helped me sit on the bus seat. He stared at me in worry. “Are you okay?”                “Yeah, I’m good. I was just distracted.”                Oh, just wait until get my hands on you Kwon Jiyong! I’m going to fucking rip your head off! Then again, he did save my life…how did he do that? How was he able to stop the car from hitting me without him getting hurt? Was that even possible?                When I got home from school that day, I found Jaejoong sitting on the couch staring at the television with a huge grin on his face.  “Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?”                “SpongeBob Squearepants!”                 Jaejoong clapped like a little six year old and giggled. What the hell…? I slowly walked over to the couch and sat down next to him. He didn’t look at me. Instead, he was focused on the little yellow sponge on the television. Whenever something stupid would happen, like someone exploding, Jaejoong would laugh hysterically. Okay…this is weird…                I stood up from the couch and went to my bedroom. I dropped down onto my bed with a slight headache, thanks to Jiyong. I sat up and grabbed a pillow and started punching, imagining that it was his face. “Stupid Kwon Jiyong! I hate you! I hate you! You’re so stupid and annoying!”                “Dara…what are you doing?” Jaejoong looked at me like I was mental…I probably was now.                “Nothing, Jae. Go and watch SpongeBob.”                “Okay!” He said happily and went back downstairs.                  I sighed and laid down on my back, staring up at the ceiling. My phone suddenly buzzed. I smiled when I saw it was Yongbae. “Hey, Yongbae!”                “Yo, Dara! Do you want to come and hang out at the res tomorrow? We’re having a campfire.”                “Sure. That sounds great!”                “Okay!”                I hung up the phone. Hopefully, going to this campfire thing tomorrow would get my mind off of fucking Kwon Jiyong.~*~                         I felt frustrated when I got home. Damn, why did I say those things? Shit, what if she took it the wrong way? I banged my head on the wall, feeling like an idiot. “Fuck my life…” I groaned.                “You’re letting her get to you, aren’t you?”                “Fuck off, Chaerin! Can’t yo use I’m having issues right now?!                “And this is different from other days because…?”                I growled and went upstairs to my bedroom. I slammed the door shut, causing the sound to echo throughout the house. I sat down on my couch, since I didn’t have a bed. Vampires didn’t really need sleep which is why some of us would use that time to *ahem* do things. It was mostly Chaerin and Seungri though. Those guys…holy shit, man! They would be at it almost every damn night. Top hyung and Bom noona came in close second and Minzy and Daesung…well…not so much. They were the “innocent” ones.                I think I was going insane because I was seeing Dara in my room. She was wearing a very tight and revealing camisole and simple pajama shorts. Fuck, she was so damn sexy! She flashed me a seductive smile and sat down on my…couch. Oh, if only I had a bed now. She touched my cheek, making me shiver. Her scent was filling my mind. How is she do damn beautiful? Oh, dear Lord! I lunged and attacked her lips. I pressed my hips against hers, dry humping her hard. “Why are you having sex with your couch?” A voice brought my back to reality.                I quickly straightened myself up. Minzy was leaning against the door way with eye brows raised. I wiped the saliva off my mouth and put my pillow back down. “I-I wasn’t having sex with my couch…”                “You were humping it and kissing your pillow. Is this why you remained single all this time? You’re having a relationship with your furniture?”                “NO! I just—I just…”                “You were fantasizing about Dara, right?”                “N-no…what are you talking about?”                “I’m not stupid, Ji. I know you better than anyone else and you know that. I can tell your thinking about Dara. Admit it!”                “No! I’m not admitting anything!”                I crossed my arms and turned my head away from her. She sighed and sat next to me on the couch. “You know, I’m supposed to be the youngest, right?”                “Go away…” I whined.                “No…not until you admit it.”                “I’m not admitting anything. Sure, maybe I was imagining myself having sex with Dara but it’s normal right? I’m a guy…all the other males at the school imagine doing that, too.”                “It’s different with you. You know that vampires don’t feel this type of emotion unless…”                “No! I’m not going to admit it! Shut up! Get the hell out of my room!”                “You’re so rude!”She whacked me with a pillow. “I’m just trying to help you.”                “You’re not helping me. I’m not in love with Dara.”                “Sure, you aren’t. Because it’s totally normal for someone to stalk a girl to find out where she lives, fantasize about doing ‘it’ with her, and have it not mean anything, right?”                “Sure…?”                “WRONG! You know you can’t stay away. She attracts you. You won’t be able to stay away from her anymore.”                I gulped. I hated when Minzy would pull that serious face and tell me things like this. It scared the shit out of me. “I-I can…” My voice cracked.                “No, you can’t. You probably thinking about going to her house right now…”                Now that she mentioned it, yeah I wanted to go to Dara’s house. Wait, what? And here I go again, talking to my inner self. Damn, why won’t my organs leave me alone? Gosh, I probably had to be the most disturbed vampire ever! “Good night, Jiyong.”                Before Minzy left me room, she tiled the photo hanging on my wall and then crumpled up a piece of paper and threw it on the ground. My eye twitched. She knew I hated crumpled up things and not straight pictures. It was part of my OCD problem. I couldn’t really take medication for it since I was a vampire and medicine doesn’t really help. “Damn you, Minzy…” I hissed.                “I heard that! Hurry up and go see Dara already!”                “Shut up!”                I got up from the couch and fixed the frame and then tried to straighten out the paper. It wasn’t working! There were still too many wrinkles. It bothered me so much! What do I do?! How the hell do I make paper straight again?! Why?! Why did this paper have to be crumpled this way?! *Sob* Sob* “You know what, paper, I’m done with you!” I ripped it in half.                Aw, that’s not cool, man. What did that poor defenseless paper ever do to you?                Shut up, brain! Now is not the time to talk to me!                I ripped the paper to shreds which really wasn’t a good thing because it created even a more mess on my carpet. I hurriedly picked up all the individual pieces off the floor. I cupped them in my hand and put it in the trash can. “Take that paper!”                I sat down on my couch again, staring out my window. I debated whether or not I should go to Dara’s house. But then, Minzy would hold this against me for life! But on the other hand, I had to make sure she was safe…why did I care again? I found myself jumping out of my window and running all the way to Dara’s house, which took like two seconds.                I climbed the tree and looked into the window. I saw that it was Dara’s room. Perfect! I slid the window open easily. I quietly eased my way in. This was probably creepy right now but the hell I cared. I sat on the chair in the corner of the room, in the shadows, away from the moonlight. Dara was sleeping peacefully in her bed, wrapped up in a bundle of blankets. Aww…she looks so cute. Okay, now I sounded like a girl!                My body stiffened when the bedroom door opened. I panicked and grabbed the lamp shade and put it over my head. Her step brother came into the room to check on her. He glanced in my direction. “Who’s there?”                “I’m a lamp.” What the fuck did I just do? Oh, shit!                “Okay, good night lamp.”                He left the room. Did he seriously not find anything suspicious about a talking lamp? Maybe Jaejoong was helpless and hopeless after all. I continued to watch over Dara as she slept. “Jiyong…” She muttered my name.                Fuck! Was she awake? Her eyes were still closed. Oh, she was talking in her sleep…wait…she was dreaming about me?! Was it possible for a dead heart to beat again? No, but you could listen to your dead heart.                Shut up, heart. I’m having a moment here.                Yes, a DARAGON moment!                Huh…?                Never mind…                I walked over to the bed and sat on the very edge, carefully not to wake her up. I brushed the few strands of hair away from her face. Damn, she really was pretty. Scratch that, she wasn’t pretty…that was an insult. She wasn’t even beautiful. She was something much more…she was…interesting, better than beautiful. I noticed she had chubby cheeks. I chuckled and poked them softly.                Her eyes snapped open. I was out of her room before she could sit up. I stayed on her tree though, watching her. She looked around her room…probably form me. “You’re going insane, Dara.” She shook her head.                               “That stupid Kwon Jiyong…he can’t even leave me alone in my dreams! Curse you Kwon!” She shouted at the ceiling.                I was somewhat horrified. Right after she cursed me, the branch I was sitting on broke. I landed on the ground with a soft thud. I groaned. I rubbed my shoulder and stood up. I ran away from her house before she could curse me more. Aish…__________________________________________________Hey, guys.
