Chapter 12 - Chapter Twelve: The thirst for spotlight part 1

Byung and Min Jun stared at each other with no expression.  The people clapped filling the silence of the room. Mr.Smith grabbed two champagne glasses giving them to Byung and Min Jun. ''To these two wonderful gentlemen.'' Mr.Smith said toasting his glass in the air.

Byung smirked at Min Jun. ''Thank you for this opportunity Mr.Smith.'' Byung held his glass up.

Mr.Smith clapped his hands as musicians entered into the room, playing beautiful yet delicate music. Min Jun sat his glass onto the table walking onto the balcony, he held his head up feeling the wind blow through his neatly thin hair. He was happy that his career was finally going up, but also unpleased because he had to deal with Byung. ''Everything okay?'' Someone questioned. Min Jun turned around seeing Ayame come up to him.

''yeah...'' Min Jun forced a smile.

Ayame leaned against the railing feeling the fresh breeze. ''Congratulations to you and Byung.'' She smiled.

''Thank you.'' Min Jun smiled lightly.

Ayame smile slowly faded away as she looked at Min Jun. She held her hands together nervously, ''um...Min Jun I can trust you about what you saw today right?'' Ayame asked as she had a sadden expression come upon her. 

Min Jun stepped close to Ayame, looking into her glistening dark eyes. ''You can trust me, I promise.'' He said giving her a gentle stare.

Byung chattered amongst the guest with Mr.Smith, his eyes glanced over at Ayame and Min Jun. He excused himself from the crowd, walking onto the balcony. ''So...What are you guys talking about.'' Byung implied with a smirk.

Min Jun turned his head away trying to avoid Byung. Byung stood next to Min Jun, tilting his head at him. Min Jun wanted to say something but he knew there will be consequences. He tried to walk away but felt Byung hand squeeze onto his shoulder. Min Jun stared Byung directly in eyes, frowning his brows. Byung squeezed Min Jun shoulder tighter feeling his rage get the best of him. Ayame stared as she noticed the tension between Byung and Min Jun. She cleared her throat breaking the awkwardness. Byung smiled patting Min Jun shoulder.

Mr.Smith walked onto the balcony raising his glass with a big smile across his face. ''What are you guys doing out here? This celebration party is for you guys, come on lets celebrate.'' He said leading them back inside.

Later that night everyone was still celebrating Byung and Min Jun. Byung stood by the table drinking champagne as he watched Ayame enjoy the attention of the guest. He twirled his drink around looking at the bubbles sizzle. Min Jun walked towards where Byung was, grabbing a glass of water. Byung scoffed finishing his champagne. ''You gonna want something else other than water...'' Byung raised a brow eyeing Min Jun.

Min Jun shook his head muttering underneath his breath. Suddenly a scent came across his nose, He looked over at man that was bleeding out his finger. '' Sorry I broke my glass and cut my finger.'' The man chuckled, grabbing a napkin next to Min Jun.

Min Jun closed his eyes feeling himself tremble. The man saw Min Jun expression asking him was he okay. As Min Jun saw the blood on the napkin he left going into the elevator. Byung gave a small chuckle as he saw Min Jun leave. Ayame looked concerned as she saw Min Jun rushing to leave. ''I will be right back.'' She said walking into the elevator.

Byung placed his drink down following Ayame as she left. Min Jun rushed outside breathing in and out. As his mind focused on the blood he felt his stomach rumble. He fell to his knees vomiting more than usual. He put his hands onto his head, feeling pain his eyes and teeth. His mouth quivered feeling his teeth slowly sharpen.

''Min Jun!'' Ayame called out to him.

Min Jun eyes widened with fear, not wanting Ayame to see him. He continued to breathe in and out until he felt his pain casually go away. He felt Ayame place her hand onto his shoulder, he turned around looking into her worried eyes. ''Are you okay?'' She asked.

Min Jun cleared his throat. ''Yeah...Just felt a little sick that's all.'' He lightly smiled.

Min Jun placed his hands into his pockets. ''You can go back now if you want I will be okay.'' He stated.

''Okay...well I hope you feel better.'' She said before walking away.

Min Jun held his head down with a sigh. He looked up seeing Byung stare at him. Byung walked towards Min Jun, holding his arms out, he smiled pulling up his sleeve biting into his wrist. Min Jun stared as he felt temptation come upon him. Byung smiled placing his wrist in front of Min Jun. ''You can't continue to hide who you are..." Byung looked into Min Jun eyes with a slight sinister smile.

Min Jun closed his eyes trying to ignore the blood draining from Byung wrist. ''After all we are gonna be working together...and I don't need you to embarrass me by falling out.'' Byung placed his wrist closer to Min Jun.

Min Jun slowly opened his eyes, he looked at Byung then at Byung wrist. He felt his teeth and eyes change, he grabbed Byung wrist enjoying the sweet smell of blood...
