Bloodbound Secrets (Enhypen Ni-ki)
Ch 4
It's been a few months ever since the incident at the basketball court happened and since then I have been receiving these weird stares from other students.
They keep staring wherever I go.
It feels like I'm constantly watched.
Even in changing room when I'm changing, others stare.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
Just like that girl sitting over there
I complain, tilting my head to her direction.
Sunghoon Park
That's Jess.
Sunghoon Park
Rumor has it that she slept with a lot of boys already. She is a year younger than you, Ni-ki.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
I know her.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
I mean.. Who doesn't?
Yuri
Sometimes it feels like she dresses like that to seduce others.
Ava's friend, Yuri speaks.
Yuri seems like a good person– quite down to earth, in my opinion.
Seonghi Lee
I heard from my bench mate in Art class that Jess once entered the boys changing room and did 'it' there with Matt.
Seonghi is just like Yuri too
Sunghoon Park
That's common knowledge among students.
Jake Sim
Apparently.. that girl is upto no good
Ava Andres
Yeah. Be careful, Ni-ki
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
Uh huh.
I am in the changing room alone when I hear giggles of girls. I look around and spot Jess and her friends coming in.
Jess whispers something to her friends and they leave giggling.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
Why are you here, Jess?
Jess
Nothing in particular.
Jess
Just wanted to... Taste you.
I frown. There was something about the way she licked her lips that made me cautious. Her eyes were wide and she had a crazed look in her eyes.
Jess
You smell so good. I'm sure your blood is good too.
Jess
*Steps closer to Ni-ki*
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
Don't come closer.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
*Takes a step back while putting on a shirt*
Jess
No one can say no to me.
I reach for my phone and tried to unlock it, but my bad luck.. My phone is dead.
Suddenly, a sweet scent suddenly filled the room, making me dizzy. I stumbled to the nearest wall.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
What are you doing?
I quickly ran to the door, grabbing my bag on the way. As soon as I'm out, I found Jake and Ava talking about something.
My ears were ringing and my eyes were only focused on Ava. I stumbled towards her and hugged her, burying my face in the neck.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
Ava...
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
Help me..
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
I don't feel good.
I could feel her frozen in my arms and then she pushes me away to look at my face.
Ava Andres
Are you alright?
Ava Andres
Why are you so flushed?
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
Jess... Did something...
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
Scent.. dizzy..
I snuggled more in Ava's neck.
I can't think straight. My mind and body is only thinking about the person in my arms. My hands on her tiny waist.. her scent in nostrils.. God.. I could die.
No, Ni-ki! Snap out of it. You promised yourself to not get into anything!
I pushed Ava away gently, but she held me close.
Ava Andres
I'll take you with me.
Jake Sim
He is coming with me. I'm not leaving you with him at all.
I try to stand straight, blinking my eyes to get a better vision. I notice Jake and Ava having a staring contest with each other.
And then everything went blank.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
💭My head hurts.. where am I?
Jungwon Yang
You're awake.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
Who..who are you?
Jungwon Yang
Jay's friend.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
Oh..
Jungwon Yang
You are at Jake's place.
Jungwon Yang
A lot of people are worried.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
I see
I look at him for a moment longer. My eyes taking him in. I notice a stain on his shirt... blood?
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
You have something on your collar..
Jungwon Yang
*Looks at the stain and quickly covers it with a hand.*
Jungwon Yang
It's nothing.
Jungwon Yang
I'll.. uh.. I'll send someone to you
He hurriedly gets up and leaves.
Why did he react like that?
And what's with his pale complexion?
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
Come in.
Ava comes in, her clothes different and looks more cozy.
I sit up straight and let my legs hang from the side of the bed.
She hands me a glass of water.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
Thank you.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
*drinks*
Ava Andres
You.. Do you remember anything?
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
I remember fainting in front of you and Jake.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
After that thing with Jess.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
*I look at her.*
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
Did you inform the university about it? I think it was an aphrodisiac.
Ava Andres
Jess wasn't there. In the changing room.
Ava Andres
I went to check in as Jake carried you to the car.
Ava Andres
I couldn't find her
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
What?!
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
I swear she was there!
Ava Andres
I know it's weird
Ava Andres
But there is nothing we can do
Ava Andres
I'll look into it more
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
Please.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
And uh..
I avoid her gaze. I didn't know how to exactly bring up this matter, but I decided to apologize before it's too late.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
I'm sorry about it.
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
I know what I did today wasn't acceptable.. Hugging you like that.. I'm sorry.
Ava Andres
*Stares at Ni-ki*
Ava Andres
Ni-ki.. You were out for 3 days
Ni-ki (Riki Nishimura)
...what...?
