Han stretched, a lazy smile spreading across his face. "I mean, I'm basically a matchmaker. I brought the vampires, I brought the alpha boys...now all we need is some popcorn and a rom-com soundtrack πΆπ"
Taejoon's expression didn't change, but a hint of amusement flickered in his eyes. "You're something else, Han."
Han chuckled, shrugging. "Hey, someone's gotta bring the excitement around here. You're too serious, Taejoon π΄"
Taejoon raised an eyebrow. "And you're too...Han."
Han grinned. "Too Han? That's a thing? I'm going to start a club, 'Too Han' is the new cool π"
Taejoon shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips. "You're impossible."
Han's eyes sparkled. "That's what makes me, me! So, what's next? Want to grab some ramen and watch the alpha boys crush those vampires? ππ"
Taejoon sighed, laughing despite himself. "You know that's not what I meant."
Han pouted, a dramatic look on his face. "Fine, be that way. I'll just go eat ramen by myself and daydream about my vampire- alpha boy romance novel π€ͺ"
Taejoon couldn't help but laugh. "You're ridiculous."
Han beamed, triumphant. "That's why you love me, Taejoon π"
Taejoon rolled his eyes, a exasperated look on his face. "We're not together anymore, I told you we're done."
Han pouted, a mischievous gl spark in his eye. "But I'm not, you're still my boyfriend so act like one π"
Taejoon sighed, his patience wearing thin. "The only thing between us is that we're biological brothers..."
Han's face lit up. "Good, because that's what makes our love even stronger π"
Just as they were speaking, Lorenzo, Harrison, Hudson, Caleb, and Adriel walked out, rushing up to Han.
"Han, are you okay? He didn't hurt you, right?" Hudson asked, eyeing Taejoon warily.
Taejoon responded to Hudson, his voice filled with annoyance, "If I wanted to hurt him, he'll be a dead man before you guys come here"
Han's face broke into a cheesy grin. "I want to see you try, babe π"
Taejoon, fed up with the conversation, used his vampire speed to vanish, leaving the group behind.
The others burst out laughing. "You really know how to annoy Taejoon, Han... π"
Han just laughed, a carefree sound. "I'm just trying to get back the Taejoon we all know π"
Lorenzo chuckled, shaking his head. "You're a menace, Han."
Hours passed at han house
Han trudged into his apartment, the door closing behind him with a soft click π€€. He flopped onto the couch, letting his head fall back onto the cushions as he let out a deep sigh π.
His mind began to wander, replaying the events of the day, and his interactions with Taejoon π€. He couldn't help but think about how far they'd come, and how much Taejoon had sacrificed for him π€.
"Am I pushing him too much?" Han wondered, his thoughts a jumble of doubt and concern π¬. "Is he only with me because he feels obligated?"
Han's expression softened, his eyes gazing off into space as he thought about Taejoon's past selflessness π. He remembered the way Taejoon had given up his own life to save him, and how he'd come back reincarnated π·οΈ.
"Even if Taejoon is serious about our relationship, I won't force him," Han thought to himself, his voice firm in his mind π. "I only want him to be the person he was, happy and carefree π. I don't want evil to consume him now that he's reincarnated π·οΈ."
Taejoon, listening to Han's thoughts from the vampire realm, sighed π. "My feeling towards you haven't changed," he whispered to himself, his voice barely audible. "Just that I don't want history to repeat itself π€."
Han, still lost in thought, got up from the couch and headed upstairs, his footsteps echoing through the quiet apartment π΄.
Han burst into the bathroom, flipping on the light and heading straight for the sink π½. As he started washing his face, his eyes caught something out of the corner of his eye π. A cockroach, as big as his thumb, was strying on the floor π±.
Han's scream echoed through the house, piercing and loud π€. He leapt back, slamming against the wall and covering his face π¨.
Taejoon, sitting in the vampire realm, jerked to attention π£. Han's fear hit him like a wave π, and he was on his feet in an instant π₯.
He sped to Han's house, his vampire speed blazing π₯. As he burst through the door, he heard Han's frantic screams π€.
"Someone help...get away from me!" Han's voice was high-pitched and terrified π±.
Taejoon's eyes turned red π΄, and he summoned a sword to his hand π‘οΈ. He thundered upstairs, taking the steps two at a time πββοΈ.
He shouldered open the bathroom door, his eyes scanning the room π. Han's wide, terrified eyes met his π¨, and then Han launched himself at Taejoon π.
Taejoon caught him mid-air, his arms closing around Han's trembling body π€.
"Taejoon, save me! It's going to hurt me!" Han buried his face in Taejoon's chest π.
Taejoon's eyes narrowed, his gaze sweeping the bathroom π. "Who is it, Han?" he growled, ready to defend his love πͺ.
Han pointed a shaking finger at the cockroach on the floor π. Taejoon's gaze followed, and his expression...froze π.
The cockroach, seemingly oblivious to the drama, willed away π.
Taejoon's face was a comical mix of relief and annoyance π. "Han...it's just a cockroach," he said, trying to stifle a laugh π.
Han peeked up at Taejoon, his eyes wide with fear π¨. "Just a cockroach?! It's a monster! π"
Taejoon's chuckles turned into full-blown laughter π, and he hugged Han tight π€. "I'll protect you from all monsters, Han π."
They stood there for a moment, Han wrapped around Taejoon like a koala π¨, before realizing their position π³. Han quickly pulled away, his face flaming red π₯.
"What the... Taejoon, are you a pervert?" Han exclaimed, trying to cover himself with a towel π.
Taejoon didn't respond, his eyes fixed on Han's checking him out π. Then he just turned and walked out of the bathroom πΆββοΈ.
"Hey, Taejoon, where are you going?" Han shouted, chasing after him π.
Just as Taejoon was about to turn around, Han's feet flew out from under him π€¦ββοΈ. He landed on his butt, and Taejoon, unable to stop himself, fell on top of him π€―.
The two of them lay there, a tangled mess π, with Han still clutching the towel for dear life π.
"Get off me, Taejoon!" Han laughed, trying to push him away π.
Taejoon's face was inches from Han's, his eyes sparkling with amusement π. "I'm not the one who's a pervert, Han π," he whispered, his voice low and teasing π.
Han's face turned bright red again π₯, and he pushed Taejoon off him π€ΈββοΈ. "Shut up, Taejoon!" π
Taejoon pinned Han's hand to the wall, a cheeky grin spreading across his face π. Han's eyes widened, his face scratched with confusion and a hint of struggle π. "Taejoon, what the heck are you doing?!" Han demanded, his voice lixed bit of embarrassment π .
Taejoon chuckled, his eyes sparkling with mischief π. "Ain't I doing what you secretly want? You've been 'accidentally' touching me everywhere π," he teased, wiggling his eyebrows.
Han's face turned bright red π₯, "I was not! And besides, you're my boyfriend π," he said, trying to sound firm.
Taejoon's grin faltered for a split second before he burst out laughing π. "Oh, sweetheart, you're delusional π... Ex-boyfriend π," he corrected, his voice dripping with playful sarcasm π€£. Han's eyes narrowed, his lips pursing into a mock-offended pout π...
Taejoon rolled his eyes dramatically π, shaking his head, and turned to leave π. Han's gaze followed him, his eyes lingering on Taejoon's retreating form π. As soon as Taejoon was out of sight, Han's face cracked into a goofy grin π, his eyes sparkling with amusement π. He let out a quiet chuckle π€£, still trying to process what had just happened π€―. "Can't believe that just happened," Han whispered to himself π€«, his smile growing wider π. He shook his head, a happy dizziness washing over him π, and walk upstairs to get dressed.
