It's November, so the sun already being down by the time the clock was 6 pm wasn't very unusual, it was Friday and you were out with your friends, exploring abandoned places. You reached an old looking building, it looked as big as a mini castle, you went inside, turned on your phone's flashlight while walking on the wooden floor, your necklace being in the way and you didn't wanna risk it being on you but rather in your bag while you were exploring this place. You took it off and put it on a table next to you, about to take it up as your friend Yeri began talking making you look away.

"I bet you can't go in there all alone." Said Yeri pointing at a giant door in front of you, cobwebs everywhere, even on the door handle.

"Of course I can, I'm not scared." You lied, you're scared as hell, but if you admit that to your friend she's gonna pick you about it all the time in at least a year.

You heard her chuckle, you smiled at her because you can do it, right?

You walked over to the door, taking a big look at it, it was filled with all kinds of patterns, taking the door handle in hand, you pushed the door open, hearing it creak loudly which send shivers down your spine, you walked through it and on the other side was a ballroom, it was filled with hanging chandeliers, which looked like they were on the very verge of breaking down and hitting the floor.

Walking more towards the middle you noticed how beautiful the room actually was, despite it being old and broken down, it was a stunning room.

You roamed around it and almost got lost in your thoughts as you started to hear weird noises around you, whenever you walked somewhere it was like they were following you, you decided to run back to the door and away from the ballroom to find your friends, but when you arrived back, they were all gone, you looked down at your phone and relaxed a bit as you saw a text saying that they just went outside.

"Hey." You said as you went outside to join your friends.

"Should we walk home? It's getting late and we've been out for long." Said your other friend Heeseung, looking at you while he waited for your answer.

"Ye- Wait I think I forgot something inside the place." You said, a little panic in your eyes, your necklace was missing.

"We can get it tomorrow, it's quite a big piece right?" Said Heeseung rubbing your back, you nodded, it wasn't like you couldn't just get a new one, after all, it was bought down the store 30 min away from you.

-

Going back home you couldn't help but feel like you really weren't done exploring that ballroom, even after being in there for so long, it almost felt like you were meant to be sucked into the place as if you belonged there, it was a weird feeling and while you were counting your money to see if you had enough to survive this month you couldn't keep focus, it was as is you were hypnotized.

-

Going back to the house with Heeseung driving you, you thanked him and went in, hearing him call out one last time.

"Are you sure you can find your way home, it's gonna be really foggy soon?" He said with a concerning smile.

"I'll be fine Hee, don't worry!" You said, giving him a warm smile, he nodded and said his farewell to you as you began walking inside. It was 2 pm so the sun was thankfully at its brighter hours, walking in through the doors you'd usually expect it to be warm, but since no one took care of it, it was ice cold, almost colder than outside.

"Found you!" You said, taking the necklace in hand, weird noises filled your head again, but you decided to ignore them this time, shaking your head.

You walked inside of the ballroom again, finding a place where you can sit down. The sun was shining through the broken glass, everything was peaceful, a little too peaceful since you ended up falling asleep.

*BAM*

With that, your eyes widened and you jumped up from your place, holding on to the place where your heart is, noticing it going at a faster pace than usual. What was that and where did it come from?

You decided to walk to another room, not really caring of what time it was, but you could see that it wasn't much as the sun was still there. On your way out you looked at the wooden floor, just walking in a straight line to get out as fast as you could, suddenly bumping into something, it was soft, but also hard and warm.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry, did you get hurt?" You heard a male voice say, looking up you were met with the softest eyes you'd seen in a while, totally mesmerized by them you forgot to answer him, he walked a little closer to you and took his hand out, signaling for you to take it so you could get up.

"Yeah, I'm fine, sorry I didn't see you." You said taking his hand.

"I'm Jake." He said, with a warm smile, you'd never seen such a beautiful being in your life, he was handsome, his voice was sweet and filled with positivity.

"I'm y/n." You said, smiling back at him.

-

You and Jake hit it off pretty quickly, roaming around the mysterious place and slowly getting to know each other, Jake was comforting, his smile was warm and almost too good to be true.

As you were walking with Jake towards his own home, only 10 minutes away.

"What's your number? I would love to keep in contact" He said, handing you his phone, you wrote the number down including your name, rang to yourself, and did the same for your own phone.

"Thank you for walking me home, it usually gets very lonely being in the abandoned house all alone to explore and the walk home in the dark is just worse." He said, you couldn't help but feel flustered.

"It's no problem! I don't have much to do these days anyway, I just got on vacation." You said smiling at him, exchanging each others goodbye you walked home.

-

Jake was confused, how did you capture his cold heart so quickly? In his 250+ years of living, this is the first time he's been so mesmerized by a mere human being, he could feel that you were different than what he expected, he expected you to be another one of his offers to just drain the blood out of, but no. Jake didn't wanna do that, he felt weird, he wanted to protect you from the cruel world you lived in and have you with him at all times, he knew he had to stay away especially as you've just met, it'll just scare you away if he moved too quickly. But lord and behold, he couldn't.

Jake and you hit it off fairly quickly, you went from texting a few times to facetiming almost every day, you started to fall for Jake, and it concerned Yeri and Heeseung how distant you've been, you've almost not had time for them because you've been busy in both your work but also to hang out with Jake.

-

You've been to Jake's house countless times, it's a nice place and you could easily feel at home there.

"Oh, you're here early!" Said Jake, looking at you with his usual warm smile, but in his mind, he cursed so loudly, he hadn't eaten yet and was afraid that he was gonna go insane any minute now.

As hours went by, you ended up falling asleep on the couch, Jake didn't wanna wake you and went over to finally get his meal, going over to the blood bags he has in his kitchen in a hidden drawer he decided to finally down it all down, he was so hungry, but what he hadn't seen while he was downing it all was a sleepy you, standing and looking at him with shocked eyes.

You had so many questions, but the thing that concerned you was, how were you being so calm? You honestly didn't know either and Jake was so concerned that you would leave now, it drove him mad that you saw him in this state before he was ready to show you it himself.

"Love, I can explain." Jake said, sounding more nervous than he wanted to.

"It's okay Jake, I'm not gonna run away." You said, Jake was confused, why didn't you wanna run away?

"Why not?" Asked Jake, his mouth covered in blood.

"I don't see the need for it, it's not like you're gonna kill me." You said, rubbing your hands together, looking at the kitchen table.

"You're right." Jake said, cleaning himself before going back to the couch with you. Not much of a difference happened after that.

-

You and Jake still hung out, your feelings for each other grew big, you almost couldn't take it anymore. So one night where you cuddled up, you took the chance and you just said it out loud,

"I like you." You said, still looking at the tv playing a random movie.

"I like you too." He said, your heart beating faster than it ever has, the heat in your cheeks burning up.

You looked up to see him staring at you, sure he was dead, but his eyes still looked so soft and delicate, he smiled at you, taking his hand and caressing your cheek, you sat up, still looking at him, hugging him, Jake was surprised, but he hugged you back, you smelled too good for him to let you go, he didn't want to.

You looked at him again, nervous as hell and very red in the face, you wanted to kiss him, but you didn't dare, so he did it instead.

The kiss you shared felt like a thousand fireworks exploding, it was all you needed.

-

As partners, everything felt easier, until a day where you decided to go into the city with Heeseung and Yeri to catch up, Jake was furious and didn't know why, but seeing you with others and getting their full attention made him angry.

*Riiiing*

You saw Jake was calling you.

"Hello, Jakey!" You said, excited.

"Hi love, when are you coming home?" He asked.

"In about an hour." You said, enjoying your time with your friends.

Heeseung drove you home to Jake, Heeseung didn't necessarily like Jake and thought he was being possessive, he controlled who you hung out with, he even made you quit your job, saying that he'll take care of the bills and you could just be staying at home.

You never thought much about it as you were so crazy in love that you almost didn't care what you had to do to be with him.

After Heeseung had driven you home, you went inside the door, putting your bag on the table in the living room, and instantly fell asleep on the couch,

-

You woke up chained to a bed, it's not a bed you've seen before, confused as ever you tried to rub your eyes but you couldn't.

"Hi darling, I see you're awake." Jake said, but his voice was cold and distant, it didn't sound like the bubbly Jake you know.

"Why am I chained?" Was all you asked, looking up at him. He went by you and rubbed your bare thighs as you had short on and an oversized sweater, Jake thought you looked so delicate, but he was furious, why would you hang out with someone else than him? Especially someone who's male, that was the end of the line.

"Darling, you've sinned horribly," Jake said, his eyes weren't soft as they used to be, they were sharp and filled with anger, he looked insane.

"You're mine and I want everyone to know it." He said, he began carving on your thigh, extreme screams were heard from you and tears were falling down your cheeks at a fast pace.

*Jake Sim*

That was what he wrote on your thigh, his name.

"You've been bad, and I can't have you do something like this again." He kissed your lips and went upstairs with some last words.

"I'll be back later, you're gonna think about what you've done." He slammed the door, you couldn't think and everything was a blur, breathing became a difficult task to do, the world was spinning around and before you knew it everything went black.

-

Jake was hungry, he was furious and he didn't know what had taken over him, he didn't wanna drink off of you, your blood was too pure for him to touch, it would hurt him to do that.

He went back down into the basement and went over to you.

"Y/n." That was all he said, looking at your body, you weren't answering.

"Y/n!!" He yelled, still no answer, he walked towards you, looking at your body that he assumed was asleep, caressing your cheek, but you weren't warm, your body was ice cold, Jake became worried as ever and put his hand on your heart, nothing.

"NO!" He yelled, you couldn't die on him, not like this, he checked your scar with his name on it, he had carved too deep, causing you to lose an insane amount of blood. He did everything he could to try and get you back, but nothing helped, not even him putting his venom in your body through a bite, it was too late.

Jake ran upstairs, into a room filled with small gadgets and weapons, taking one specific thing and running down the stairs again.

"I'm not gonna be in a world where my forever love isn't in." He said as he stabbed himself with a wooden stake.
