Come on, get in!" yelled your best friend Jeon Eunwoo, already inside the fort,you both had build together with a bedsheet and pillows.
You giggled but got in. You've liked him ever since you first saw him, it was like a love at first sight. "Do you wanna know a secret?" he whispered loud enough for you to hear. You nodded in excitement making him chuckle.
"Come here" he commanded patting the spot beside him. You shifted onto the spot, that he patted as he wrapped his arm around your neck to pull you closer.
"I'm a…vampire" he whispered against your ear, making shivers run down your spine.
"Y-you're joking" you state as you stare into his eyes. He smiles but moves his arm away from you. "But, v-vampires are mythical creatures, they don't exist" you add, still trying to process the information. "I wish that was true, Hyejin" he says looking away, trying to find a way to avoid your gaze.
"You are just fooling around, right?" you question not sure if he was joking or telling the truth. "I'm not, Hyejin" he lets out with a sigh.
"No, you just want to fool me. So you can tease me later" he sighs again but turns around and points at the spot behind his ear, which had a moon, covered with a few blue blossoms with it's leaves around it, and had diamonds hanging down like it was a crystal chandelier tattoed onto his skin.
"Only vampires have this kind tattoos" he speaks but turns around "S-so,you're not lying?" you ask still shocked. "Yes, sweetheart".

"I wanna be like you!, you're so cool" you whine gripping onto Eunwoo's arm. "Hyejin-ah, i told you i won't turn you into a vampire. It's way too dangerous and it's going to cause you alot of problems."
"No, it won't. Now come on just turn me into one" you whine again but keep tugging onto his sleeves as you both walk towards your houses from school . He turns around and grips your wrist to bring you infront of him and wrap his arms around your waist from behind.
"You can't means,you can't" he states, making you pout. His grip on your waist never loosening.

"Why are you leaving me, you said you'd always be with me!" you yelled, hugging him tight as if you never wanted to let go. "I'm sorry,my strawberry but we have to go. I swear if i could i would stay with you but u can't." he speaks as tears roll down your eyes.
"But i'm never gonna see you again, o-or be able to talk to you" you let out in a weak voice through your sobs. "Do you still want to be a vampire?" he whispers against your ear as you nod while wiping your tears.
"Do you trust me?" he questions staring deep deep into eyes. "More than myself".
"Then just, stay still, alright?. And if it stings then just hold onto me". He slowly leans in, while one of his hands softly grips your neck, his eyes closing as his fangs dig deep into your neck. Your hand grips onto his shoulders but squeezes it, letting him know that it pains.
He deattaches his fangs from your neck, as you hear him mumble a spell then lick your skin making goosebumps appear on your whole body. "There, the wound will heal itself within a few minutes"
"W-what did you do?" you speak while stuttering. "I-i just turned you into a vampire, actually it's gonna take some time and you'll turn into a vampire fully when you turn 23. Till then, you might feel weird if you see blood but you won't crave it or go crazy if you don't get it."
"So, you're just turning me into a vampire and leaving me?" you ask but look into his eyes "I'm not leaving you, you'll hear my thoughts and i'll hear yours. No matter, how much distance there is between us."
"Just your thoughts?" you question making him nod his head. "Hmm, just till you're 18. You can hear anyone's thoughts if you want after your 18th birthday. But don't tell anyone about this...okay?. Not even your parents or friends." He lets out making you nod
"Nam HyeJin. Let's meet each other once again,maybe after years months or lifetimes but still let's meet again." he speaks interwining his hands with yours.
"You promise, you'll come back?" you ask, holding out your pinky finger as he nods interwining his pinky with yours making your thumbs touch. "We will, my strawberry"
"Hyejin! Eunwoo!, come out. Eunwoo has to leave!" you hear your mother yell for the 2nd time in five minutes.
"Let's go" he speaks while getting up, his grip on your hand never loosening.
–5 minutes later–
"Let's just stay like this" he says not letting you go. "Eunwoo! come on. We have to leave!" yells his mom, already inside the car. "I-i think, you should go, or they'll get mad." you speak against his chest "Hmm" he says but pulls away. In the blink of an eye, his lips were on yours. Before you could even react, he pulls away but presses a light kiss on your forehead. "Don't lose hope." he whispers but walks away.

"Don't lose hope." you mumble to yourself, while remembering the past but turn your head towards your window. You let out a sad smile as tears roll down your cheeks.
"Eunwoo-ah, when will i meet you again. It's been 11 years since you left."
'We'll meet again, my strawberry.'
You remember his words. The thought of him and you together already making you smile. You wipe your tear stained cheeks, with the back of your over-sized sweater's sleeve while looking at the beautiful scenery infront of you.
"Please, just come back" you whisper while closing your eyes and resting your head on the wall beside you.
