During intercourse, Jaehyuk fainted due to excessive blood loss.

After contacting the emergency center, the first thing I did was to ask my friends for help.

Embarrassingly, it was unavoidable.

We started our relationship at dawn, so the sun had already risen, and without their help, there was no way to follow Jaehyuk to the emergency room.

[(Chicken Gift Card, Seasoned Chicken + 1.25L Cola)]

[Help]

[If possible, please come to Jaehyuk’s place right away.]_7:21 AM

[What’s wrong?]

[I’ll be there right away.]_7:22 AM

Truly a rational negotiation tool, the chicken gift card.

Seeing that, Hyeeun realized the seriousness of the situation and arrived at Jaehyuk’s place much faster than the paramedics.

So, with Hyeeun’s help, I was able to safely arrive at the emergency room with Jaehyuk early in the morning.

…How did we get there?

Just think of it as a similar way to getting a massage.

I can’t say more because it’s too embarrassing.

Anyway.

We arrived at the emergency room, overcoming our embarrassment.

After various tests, fortunately, there was no major issue with Jaehyuk’s body.

The doctor said it was a side effect of rapid blood loss.

There might be symptoms of anemia as an aftereffect for a while.

“For now, let’s stay for a day just in case. If everything looks good, I’ll help you check out in the evening.”

“Yes…”

“Oh, and just in case you were wondering, the guardian? Absolutely no bloodsucking for the next two months. Understand?”

“Yes? Yes!”

The doctor who brought the test results didn’t ask me why this happened.

Even after taking a CT scan, there were no internal injuries, just six puncture wounds.

With a vampire who came as a guardian with blood on their lips, it seemed like the situation was already understood.

…Thank you, doctor, for not asking me about it.

If you had asked me to explain what happened, I would have been so embarrassed I could have died.

Not liking crowded places, Jaehyuk and I chose a two-person room like a single room.

After a chaotic and busy morning, as we were catching our breath, Hyeeun, who followed us to the hospital room, asked me with a worried expression.

“So… what happened to him to end up like that? I’m so curious, I might go crazy.”

“Then go crazy. No comment.”

“Honestly, don’t you think hiring this high-quality help with just one chicken is too cheap? Even at minimum wage, you should be paying more!”

“Even if you say that… Ugh, never mind. Do you really have to know?”

“Hahaha! Of course, I do!”

An annoying angel who was so curious about other people’s love lives that she had to hear the details of the incident.

Feeling embarrassed, I stuttered for a moment, then finally shouted at the angel to leave the room.

“…Done.”

“Huh? What did you say?”

“You heard what happened because of that! Get out!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll leave now! You two have a good time, then?”

Before I could get angry, Hyeeun quickly ran out of the room.

Listening to her footsteps getting farther away from the hospital room, I sent her an additional pizza gift card.

…She’s a really good friend. Although her energy is too high and her pranks are quite annoying, she’s a bit of a flaw.

*Beep!*

After checking the message, a grateful reply came back from Hyeeun a while later.

Leaving behind the cliché phrase of “Let’s have a meal next time,” I slowly approached the hospital bed.

Sae-ak – Sae-ak –

“Sorry.”

Seeing Jaehyuk, who was breathing heavily with a pale face, an apology automatically escaped my lips.

Stepping out of the excitement, upon reflection, it seemed like I had acted too recklessly.

“Was it just me who enjoyed it… or not?”

Anxiety began to creep up slowly.

Was I the only one who enjoyed sharing warmth?

Did Jaehyuk pretend to like it while forcing himself to do something he didn’t want to do?

…Maybe, that could really be the case.

From start to finish, everything seemed to go according to my wishes.

“…Isn’t that right?”

I asked for an answer, but Jaehyuk, who was sound asleep, didn’t respond to me at all.

As if telling me to reflect on what had happened, he continued to breathe regularly.

I don’t know why negative thoughts keep coming to mind, but if I stay still like this, I’ll be consumed by guilt and regret.

In an attempt to change my mood, I logged into the community site as usual.

[“Sharing a story about a vampire who sucked blood all morning and ended up hospitalizing her boyfriend lol”]

A post at the top of the trending list.

Because of that, my attempt to change my mood failed.

…That guy who posted that.

I’ll definitely find him and give him a piece of my mind.

Kkaak – Kkaak –

The noisy crow’s cries woke me up in the early evening.

Struggling to overcome the heavy fatigue weighing down my body, the first thing that greeted me when I got up was the white ceiling.

“…Where am I?”

Briefly questioning, I soon felt a sharp pain starting in my arm.

Confirming the needle stuck in my arm, I easily realized that I was in a hospital.

“Why am I in the hospital…?”

Hadn’t I been perfectly fine until now?

They say if you suddenly pass out and wake up in a hospital, it’s likely a serious illness, so what’s going to happen to me?

Amidst the deep-seated worries and confusion, I began to calmly analyze the reason for my fainting.

And not long after, a sudden thought came to mind, allowing me to breathe a sigh of relief.

“…It’s probably because I was drained too much blood.”

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no other reason that made sense.

It wasn’t even the scheduled blood-sucking day, and it had only been less than a day since I had my blood sucked.

Having been drained twice as much, it’s only natural for this to happen, right?

…Not just blood, but other things were sucked out at the same time.

“Damn vampire, couldn’t you have been a bit more moderate…”

Imagining Jiwoo smiling apologetically and asking for forgiveness, I was full of complaints.

As they say, speak of the devil, Jiwoo soon opened the door to the ward and revealed himself.

Looking worried, he glanced at the bed where I was lying, then quickly approached me, confusion evident on his face.

Feeling around my body in confusion, the vampire soon buried his face in my chest, letting tears and snot flow freely.

“S-sorry… I should have endured a little longer…”

“…”

They say a woman’s strongest weapon is her tears, right?

Even I couldn’t stay angry seeing him cry so bitterly.

…I can’t get angry like this.

Seeing him so apologetic, how can I scold him?

I sighed and silently patted Jiwoo’s back.

And when his crying subsided, I comforted him with warm words.

“Mistakes are something everyone makes at least once in their life. Just be careful next time, there’s no need to blame yourself too much.”

“Well, still…”

“Are you trying to make people uncomfortable again? I said I’m fine.”

“Eek!”

In an attempt to wake her up, I playfully tapped her head and gave her a sweet dream, and then Jiwoo, with a cute scream and tears, finally stopped crying.

…Seriously, ever since becoming a vampire, my hands have been too busy. Well, I guess that’s its own charm and loveliness.

A vampire who pouted and let out a faint whimper with a sad expression.

As I watched her pitiful appearance with a smile, the door to the hospital room opened and the doctor came in.

“…Sorry for interrupting a good time, but may I have a moment?”

With a smiling face and a witty remark, the doctor asked about my condition.

When I replied that I was tired and feeling weak all over, he frowned and nodded as if scolding me.

“Be thankful to your guardian. If you had been a little later…”

“I-if I had been later?”

“Just kidding, nothing would have happened. Well, if the blood had been sucked a little faster, it would have been dangerous.”

Jiwoo bowed deeply as if she were a criminal for the doctor’s blunt remark.

Seeing her dejected, I wanted to comfort her, but the doctor didn’t give me a chance and quickly left the room.

The nurse did the same.

After removing the IV and quickly informing me about discharge procedures, she hurriedly left the room following the doctor.

…I wonder how much they disliked the affectionate behavior, both leaving so quickly.

Looking at the door of the room with a puzzled expression for a moment, I slowly got up from my seat.

Then I reached out my hand to Jiwoo, showing a bright smile.

“Let’s go back now.”

“Y-yes! We still have to finish what we were doing… Huh? Why do you look like that?”

“…It’s nothing, really.”

It feels like I woke up something that shouldn’t have been awakened.

Must be my mood, right?
