Possession and Blood

“I’m going to die.”

Despair spread across Jaeyoung’s face as he realized it was the end.

But then, a large shadow fell over his head.

Jaeyoung tilted his head and tried to identify the shadow with his barely opened eyes.

Was it another creature, or was it someone who had come to save him?

‘It’s all or nothing.’

After hesitating, Jaeyoung stretched out his arm towards the shadow.

Still, there was a higher probability that the thing above was someone who had come to save him.

Then, the shape of the shadow subtly shifted.

Soon, something touched Jaeyoung’s hand.

He flinched, unsure if it was human, and the thing filled the gaps between his fingers and gripped tightly.

‘It’s a person!’

Jaeyoung smiled with relief as he confirmed the fingers intertwined with his.

He felt a thrill that tingled to the top of his head.

Soon, the grabbed arm was pulled upwards.

Jaeyoung quickly got closer to the shadow.

The moment he finally identified the shadow, Jaeyoung’s eyes widened.

There was a problem with calling this face a person.

Just as he thought that and flinched, the unrealistic face rushed in and covered Jaeyoung’s lips.

‘What is this……’

Jaeyoung’s eyes widened in shock at the sensation that was too vivid to be a dream.

Saheon’s eyes, swirling with a strange heat, filled his round pupils.

‘Wh, at the……?’

Jaeyoung squeezed his eyes shut, wanting to forget reality.

He wanted to think it was artificial respiration, but the soft touch brushing against his mucous membranes woke him up, telling him not to pretend he didn’t know.

“Ugh, eugh……”

Jaeyoung’s chest heaved greatly at the unprecedented confusion.

He was already suffocating, and Saheon even licked away what little air he had left with his tongue.

Eventually, Jaeyoung pushed Saheon’s chest to survive.

But Saheon had already wrapped his arms around Jaeyoung’s waist and pulled him into an embrace.

Even if that wasn’t the case, Jaeyoung, who was just an ordinary human, wouldn’t have been able to push away Saheon, who was a top-class Esper, with force.

Saheon’s eyes, looking at Jaeyoung, who was pushing him away, were filled with coldness, as if he was displeased.

But Jaeyoung was desperate.

‘I’m going to die from suffocation, not from drowning!’

Jaeyoung, whose mind was fading, made a fist and pounded Saheon’s chest wildly.

To Saheon, an ordinary person’s fist was just a bothersome sensation, comparable to a mosquito.

It was enough to interfere with his focus on the kiss.

“Is this your first kiss?”

Saheon, who finally released Jaeyoung’s lips, snapped at him, who couldn’t breathe properly.

Jaeyoung, who had been chanting that it was artificial respiration, felt like his soul was about to leave his body.

“Th, this is artificial respiration……”

“Who uses their tongue while doing artificial respiration.”

Saheon looked at Jaeyoung as if he was pathetic.

From the beginning, his purpose was just to kiss him.

Jaeyoung’s face distorted as if he was about to cry.

“Why are you doing this to me?”

Jaeyoung sobbed and protested.

He was upset that his first kiss was taken away so vaguely, and he was even more upset that the person who attacked him first scolded him for not being able to breathe.

“Because you’re mine.”

It was a firm and confident reply that he would have believed if the subject of ‘mine’ wasn’t Jaeyoung himself.

“Huh? Since when? No, why?”

Jaeyoung asked, arguing.

Saheon was scanning Jaeyoung with sparkling eyes, as if he had discovered something amazing.

He was touching Jaeyoung’s face, neck, arms, etc. with his hands.

Jaeyoung flinched with a stiff face.

It felt like molestation, but it didn’t feel like molestation because the other person was Saheon.

“I belong to my mom.”

Saheon frowned at Jaeyoung’s words.

“But how can you breathe? Did hyung use his ability?”

Just as Saheon was about to open his mouth, Jaeyoung asked with sparkling eyes.

Jaeyoung was looking around with a clear face, as if he had never been crying.

The two were surrounded by a transparent barrier, making it feel like they were in an aquarium.

“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you anyway, let’s get out first.”

“Huh? Ah, yes.”

Jaeyoung nodded readily.

Saheon glanced at Jaeyoung with a subtle face.

He didn’t know whether to call him simple or soft.

Saheon stared at Jaeyoung with an dumbfounded expression, but then he gave strength to the arm that was hugging him, as if he didn’t care anymore.

The two were united and cut through the water.

Small minnows and floating branches quickly brushed past them.

Jaeyoung reflexively closed his eyes, even though he was protected by Saheon’s ability and was not affected in any way.

His body trembled, and his hand holding Saheon’s clothes was also strained.

Saheon, who lowered his eyes at the feeling of his clothes being pulled, stared blankly at his hand, which was strained and turned white.

“Kim Jaeyoung!”

Jaeyoung soon opened his eyes at the sound of someone calling him.

It was so quick that it was as if he opened them as soon as he closed them.

‘It felt like it took a long time to go down……’

Jaeyoung nodded inwardly, thinking that the ability user was indeed an ability user.

“I’m sorry. I’ll never play a prank like that again.”

Mintest, who was the first to run over, ran to hug Jaeyoung with a face covered in tears and snot.

“Don’t touch me with your dirty self.”

Slap.

Soon, Mintest’s hand was brushed away with a crisp sound.

Mintest, who was covering the hand that had been hit by Saheon with his other hand, looked at the person who had brushed him away with confused eyes.

He didn’t feel it at first because he was so dumbfounded, but it hurt terribly.

“Can’t you even control civilians properly?”

Saheon glared sharply at the person who appeared to be an association employee.

The employee’s face turned white, suppressed by the energy of the S-class Esper.

“I, I’m sorry! It happened so quickly……”

Jaeyoung looked at Mintest, who had been dragged behind the blue line by the employee, with pitiful eyes.

Saheon knew that Mintest and the other friends were like family to each other, but he thought it was too much.

“What.”

Saheon’s eyes, lowered to look at him, were cold, so Jaeyoung quietly turned his head.

Not only the classmates, but also the Espers, paramedics, and even the onlookers who had appeared after hearing the news.

The quiet valley was now crowded with people.

“Let’s put a blanket on you first. You’ll catch a cold.”

When Jaehyo brought a blanket, Saheon wrapped his arm around Jaeyoung’s waist and made him lean against his chest.

It was as if he was showing off that he was his, so Jaehyo looked at Saheon with a subtle expression.

‘Is he always like this when he rescues someone?’

Jaeyoung leaned against him, feeling puzzled but completely drained of strength.

He was also mentally exhausted.

Above all, he liked that he was hidden from the eyes of the people.

Jaeyoung squirmed and buried his face in Saheon’s chest.

“It would be better to let him rest in that tent over there.”

The tent that Jaehyo pointed to was a large tent that could only be seen at events.

The association had set up its headquarters there.

“Patient! Wait a minute!”

The paramedic, who was flustered because Saheon had taken away his job, hurriedly chased after him.

It seemed that he couldn’t bring himself to call out to Saheon.

“I’ll do first aid first.”

The paramedic asked Saheon, who was hugging Jaeyoung, carefully.

Jaeyoung glanced at Saheon’s face, which was frowning and showing that he didn’t like it.

‘Still, he was worried because he was a younger brother he’s known since childhood.’

His head tried to think that way, but Jaeyoung’s mind was leaning towards the fact that Jin Saheon would never do that.

“Mochi.”

“Yes, yes?”

Jaeyoung stuttered in surprise when Saheon suddenly called him.

“Move your hands and feet.”

It was a sudden request, but Jaeyoung did as he was told instead of arguing with Saheon.

“Ah.”

“Ah?”

“He seems to understand words properly and seems fine.”

The action, whose intention was unknown, was to check Jaeyoung’s condition.

Saheon looked at the paramedic as if he was saying that it was enough.

‘He must be……worried.’

Jaeyoung clenched and unfolded his hands and feet a few more times with a uneasy feeling.

“There may be abnormalities that are not visible to the eye, so you should have a proper examination.”

Fortunately, the paramedic was a person with a strong sense of duty.

Jaeyoung pulled on Saheon’s clothes.

“Hyung. Let me down.”

Saheon reluctantly let him down, even though he had an unhappy face.

Then, he stood tall behind Jaeyoung without going anywhere else, watching the paramedic like a guard.

“Even if you look fine now, there may be aftereffects. I’ll be waiting over there, so please take an ambulance to the hospital after the examination is over.”

“Yes, yes.”

Jaeyoung looked at the paramedic, who had completed a thorough examination, with respectful eyes while trembling at Saheon’s cold gaze.

“He’s not a newborn, why are you going so far.”

Saheon was sullen even with the kind paramedic’s guidance.

Of course, Jaeyoung, who thought he was originally like that, didn’t care much.

“I know it’s hard, but can I talk to you for a moment?”

As soon as the paramedic left the tent, an association employee approached next.

The wrinkles on Saheon’s forehead deepened further.

“The entry will begin soon, aren’t you going, Esper Jin Saheon?”

The association employee kept glancing at Saheon, as if he was concerned.

Then, the air surrounding Saheon became even sharper.

“Aren’t they toddlers, can’t they do anything without me?”

The employee couldn’t refute his prickly response.

The association called Saheon for every little thing.

This is because there is nothing better than that to attract attention and highlight the association’s achievements.

It was strange that Jin Saheon, who acted so arrogantly, had followed all the instructions so far.

But wasn’t it unlike Jin Saheon to watch the questioning of the person he rescued?

He couldn’t help but wonder who he was.

“I heard he’s Saheon’s younger brother’s friend. I think he’s worried. It’ll be a little easier if he knows someone……”

Jaehyo made excuses for Saheon, as the association employee looked at Jaeyoung with curious eyes.

Jin Saheon is worried about someone else.

The person who was talking was also confused, and the person who was listening was full of suspicion.

“But what happened to that creature?”

Jaeyoung, who was sensing the atmosphere, asked cautiously.

He had been certain that he would be caught and torn to pieces, but Saheon had appeared and reached out his hand, so that fear remained in one corner of his heart.

“What do you think you covered yourself with?”

At Saheon’s words, Jaeyoung examined himself.

Jaeyoung’s vision was blurred because he wasn’t completely dry.

Jaeyoung blinked his eyes.

Something that had been hanging from his eyelashes fell and flowed down his cheek.

“It looks like you’re shedding bloody tears.”

Saheon, who was looking at Jaeyoung, muttered in a relaxed voice.

Jaeyoung wiped the moisture from his face with his fingers.

Because it was completely wet, his snow-white fingers were soon wet.

“Th, this can’t be……”

The blood drained from Jaeyoung’s face as he looked at his fingers with pink water on them.

“Creature blood.”

Saheon replied casually.

“Saheon, wait a minute……”

Jaehyo, who was worried about Jaeyoung’s condition, hurriedly tried to stop him from speaking, but it was already too late.

Jaeyoung blankly replayed the situation in his head.

While Jaeyoung was being given a brutal first kiss, Saheon was tearing the creature behind him to shreds.

“Ah ah……”

“What. Did you become stupid because it was too cold?”

Saheon spat out harsh words to Jaeyoung, who couldn’t even say anything properly because of the shock.

“Well, it’ll be easier that way.”

Then, he licked his lips with a satisfied look while looking at Jaeyoung.

“What does that……”

“Because what I need is your body.”

“Yes?”

The association tent was abuzz at Saheon’s words that followed.

If it was intentional, he should say it was very fortunate.

Jaeyoung forgot that he was covered in creature blood at the shocking statement.
