NAPE - 27

“Bibi smells so good.”

His cool hand now moved down to her neck. Thanks to the unzipped jacket, it smoothly entered and caressed the area around her throat. So this is how good it feels to have someone else’s body touch you.

“You look delicious.”

Doyoon’s lips brushed against her ear. It was a pleasant low voice. His cool body temperature felt close. Even with her eyes closed, she could tell his body was very near hers.

Just before the call with Namwon was cut off, his warning flashed through her mind. He had said Doyoon was in danger. What could be the reason? What was Doyoon doing...?

“Ah! Ugh!”

Suddenly, a sharp pain, as if her neck had been pierced, shot through her. Bibi convulsed violently and opened her eyes. An unbelievable thing was happening. He was sucking her blood like a vampire. Doyoon, the vampire hunter, had sunk his teeth into her neck.

Bibi couldn’t move a muscle. Like an impala caught by a lion, the best she could do was crane her neck and stiffen every muscle in her body. Despite having tried to offer herself to Doyoon during the day, a belated fear gripped her. This was unavoidable. Fear always assailed her whenever her blood was sucked; it was instinctual.

“Relax, Bibi. It doesn’t hurt if you feel it.”

Doyoon briefly pulled his lips away and whispered, tracing her earlobe with his finger. As Bibi’s body slumped to the side, he laid her down completely. His large body settled on top of hers. She felt a pressure that told her she couldn’t escape if she resisted. Not that Bibi, being a hunting dog, had any intention of resisting anyway.

“I thought... I thought I wasn’t your type...”

Even in this situation, she was curious why he was sucking her blood now after having flatly refused her during the day.

“Who said that?”

Doyoon chuckled softly. His hazy eyes were even more mesmerizing.

“That noisy human...”

“Everything that bastard says is nonsense. You look so delicious.”

Doyoon’s lips returned to Bibi’s neck. His warm tongue licked the small puncture wounds left by his fangs.

“...H...”

“And you taste delicious too.”

His fangs sank into her neck again. Bibi’s body tensed up again.

“Relax. Shhh... feel it. See how good this feels.”

A large hand slipped under her clothes. His cool palm gently stroked her stomach, then lightly brushed her ribs, creating warmth. His lukewarm hand moved further up and boldly squeezed her round breast through her clothes.

Bibi flinched. It was the first time someone had touched her breast. She gasped at the unfamiliar sensation. Doyoon spread his fingers wide, gathering around her nipple and stimulating it. Because she wasn’t wearing a bra, she could quickly feel the erect nub.

“Hngh...”

A faint moan mixed with Bibi’s irregular breathing. Her stiff body gradually relaxed under the gentle massage of her chest. A warm tongue touched her neck. Her mind became hazy.

As her blood was drawn, a languid sensation flowed through the skin of her entire body. It felt chillingly good. Her lower abdomen tightened, mixed with a warm heat. She even felt the illusion of small currents of electricity flickering before her eyes.

“More, more...”

Suck my blood, more. Eat me...

Bibi clung to the person biting her, as if begging, before losing consciousness.

In the luxurious suite, Namwon crossed his arms and glared sharply at the man sitting on the sofa. Lost in thought, the man ran a gaunt hand through his hair. Even in this state, he had a handsome face. Namwon suppressed the urge to punch him.

Resentment for having searched for this human all night and an inexplicable sense of betrayal boiled within him.

“So it finally happened. I should have expected it when I saw you two tangled up in bed.”

Namwon puffed out his cheeks, let out a heavy sigh, and looked towards the bed in the bedroom. A frail woman was buried under the covers, asleep. Or perhaps she had fainted. All her blood and energy sucked dry by that mountain of a human trash vampire hunter!

He had searched the area around Gangnam Station thoroughly all night, and when he finally received a call in the morning and rushed over, this was what he found. Wait a minute... was Bibi only drained of blood?

“Did you do it?”

Namwon stared at Doyoon with eyes that said he was truly shameless and asked abruptly.

“Do what?”

“Did you do it?”

“So, do what?”

“Ah, you know.”

“Know what?”

“Did you mess around down there again, huh!”

Doyoon’s face crumpled like a tin can as he realized the meaning. With that, Namwon breathed a sigh of relief.

“Right. You probably didn’t go that far. If you have any conscience.”

“......”

“You’ve been holding back your thirst well until now. What happened?”

“I don’t really know... I think I was possessed by something yesterday. I couldn’t resist for a moment.”

Doyoon covered his forehead and shook his head. Damn, having such a good memory was also a problem. He remembered everything that happened yesterday without missing a single detail.

Realizing Bibi was gone and searching for her with Namwon, seeing a pervert masturbating when they narrowed down her location using the tracking app, the unbearably good scent, the moment he lost his mind and lured Bibi here like a trap, and... finally, tasting the blood of that innocent lamb... the blissful taste of blood, the sensation of squeezing her breasts, the small pleasure. Amidst the filth of guilt, those moments shone redly, making him want to feel the sweetness again.

“You don’t know? Is that all you have to say, you bastard? You saw what state she was in when we first found her. She was just a tiny bat trapped in a cage. Did you really want to suck the blood of someone like that?”

“......”

“For someone who couldn’t resist, you were very meticulous. Crushing the phone and coming to a hotel wasn’t an accident, it was intentional.”

“......”

“It’s a good thing Bibi was a vampire; otherwise, it would have been a fatal incident. If it gets out that a hunter attacked a human... agh, it’s horrifying just thinking about it. You’d be banished, Sunbae. Permanently expelled.”

“No. But I didn’t have any desire to suck human blood. You can rest assured about that.”

Doyoon thought of the human he had encountered with Bibi. As prey, that person would have been much easier and would have provided blood more quickly. Yet, he had no interest in him. At that moment, all Doyoon wanted was Bibi. It was strange. This was a first in his long life.

“...What are you talking about?”

Namwon crossed his arms and tilted his head.

“When I encountered Bibi yesterday, there was a human with her. He was dead drunk and easy prey. But I only felt the urge to suck Bibi’s blood. It was like all the thirst I had suppressed until now exploded.”

“How am I supposed to interpret that? Are you saying your taste has turned to that wildcat?”

As Doyoon nodded with a troubled expression, a rustling sound came from behind. When they turned around, Bibi, who had gotten out of bed, was standing behind the sofa.

Doyoon abruptly stood up and scanned her. Fortunately, Bibi’s complexion was the same as before. Except that she still looked sleepy even after sleeping for so long, her color and physical condition seemed fine. The wound on her neck had disappeared without a trace.

“Wildcat! Are you okay?”

As Namwon approached with a worried expression, Bibi reflexively took a step back and nodded. Her round eyes, like a puppy’s, held a look of bewilderment. She seemed curious why Namwon was here.

“Sunbae. Here, this.”

A bottle of iron supplements flew in an arc towards Doyoon. His large hand snatched it in an instant.

“Clean up your own mess. At least explain what happened! Wildcat, you better get to the bottom of this! I’m leaving!”

Namwon grabbed his clothes and left the room. The door closed, and silence fell. Doyoon fiddled with the iron supplements. The medicine he took whenever he felt thirsty... he probably wouldn’t need it for a while. Everything had been resolved yesterday.

“How’s your body?”

“I’m okay. What about you, Doyoon?”

“I’m okay too.”

Not just okay, but very light. Even the long-standing thirst had completely disappeared. Bibi looked relieved at his answer. Doyoon sighed and approached her.

“I’m sorry about yesterday.”

“Why? It’s okay to share blood with your master.”

Bibi tilted her head and blinked. She looked puzzled as to why he was apologizing when she had only done what was natural. Doyoon felt a genuine sense of guilt for the first time in a long while.

“It’s not about that... my guilt is separate from your consent. I shouldn’t have bitten you.”

Doyoon firmly admitted his wrongdoing. Bibi, with the mindset of a hunting dog, had offered her neck willingly. That was precisely why he shouldn’t have bitten her. How was that any different from exploitation using a master-servant relationship?

Generally, Doyoon didn’t feel any conscience about wielding power or using others, but he didn’t want to do that to Bibi. From some point on, he had come to loathe being in the same category as her former owners.

“You are clearly the victim. You need to know the details about what happened yesterday. Even if it’s a secret about me.”

“...A secret?”

“Why I was sick, why I, a hunter, sucked your blood.”
