The alarm blared throughout the apartment, forcing you to wake up from your deep slumber. You let out a frustrated whine as you reached for your phone to switch off the annoying sound.

The moment silence fell, you rubbed your face against the soft pillow before finally waking up. You stared into space blankly as you tried to let the morning sun slap you awake.

Stretching your arms out, you got off the bed and get ready for work. You got dressed into your office attire and looked at yourself in the mirror with a hum. You wrapped a scarf around your neck before grabbing your keys and bag.

You started the engine of your car and drove off to workplace as you played your playlist full of favourite songs to jam to along the ride.

You made sure to get yourself a cup of americano before finally walking into your company. The thing is just as you were entering, you ended up bumping into someone and you spilled coffee on your scarf which left a stain.

You heard the other apologising but you didn't have time. You had a meeting to attend so you went straight to the conference room where everything had been set. You went through the slides a few more times, just to make sure none of the important ones had been left out.

After bracing yourself, you were ready to present about this new project you had been in charge of.

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

"It's finally over!" you let out a sigh of relief.

"Do you like red?"

You let out a shriek when you heard the low voice in your ear and felt cold breath against your neck. You turned around to find Yoongi, the General Manager, staring at you.

"S-sir!" you bowed to him, completely unaware of the question that he had just asked.

He awaited for your answer but you just stared at him blankly. He sighed after realising that you didn't quite catch his question.

"Do you like scarfs that much?"

"Why, sir?"

He pointed at your scarf.

"You are always wearing scarfs and it's summer?"

Your eyes widened and you tried to come up with an excuse to give to him. You parted your lips but he stopped you. He gave you a paper bag and you held it confusingly.

"It's a present for you. I saw a coffee stain on yours during the meeting."

Just like that, he walked away. He looked really cool and you have so much respect for him. Not only that, he's really good looking and it wouldn't be wrong to say that you have a crush on him. Honestly, who wouldn't? Yoongi is really smart, hardworking and handsome. Also, he always took care of you ever since you had joined the company and those tiny gestures never failed to make your heart skip a beat.

You looked at the gift he gave you and it turned out to be a pretty red scarf. You blushed and decided to change your scarf.

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

You had arrived to the washroom and you looked around to make sure there was no one before taking your scarf off.

The thing is you have a secret that no one knows. The reason why you wear a scarf is not simply as an accessory. It was actually to hide that bite mark on your neck.

You vaguely remembered how you got that mark. It happened during the business trip that your company planned and you had no choice but to go. There was a blackout at the hotel and you fainted.

The next day, you saw two small red dots on your neck. You thought it was a mosquito bite and would go away. However, it was the opposite. It actually turned bigger and more visible. It looked like a really painful bite mark although you didn't actually feel any pain.

You went to the doctor but the doctor was confused and couldn't come to a conclusion as he had never seen such a mark before. You did recall watching a vampire show and freaked out after seeing the same mark on the neck of the main actress. You went to research on vampires and then recalled that it was impossible for it to have been done by a vampire.

So, in the end, you gave up and decided to cover it up until a miracle happens and it would go away.

You let out a sigh as you put the scarf around your neck. It was really soft and you smiled as you walked out happily.

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

The sky had darkened and you couldn't leave just yet because you had overtime. You wanted to go home really quick and catch up on that drama you were hooked up on. However, you were stuck here alone-

"Hey, I thought everyone had left."

Or maybe not.

You turned to smile at Yoongi who placed his cup onto the table and settled down on the empty seat beside you. You glanced at the weird looking red liquid inside but decided not to judge. After all, it could've been cranberry.

"I needed to complete these. You know how Manager Kim had been bugging me with the latest project."

"Oh right. He's a perfectionist."

You laughed in agreement.

"Well, why are you still here till this late?"

He held up the stack of papers he had been holding just now.

"Director Kim had been requesting for these to be read thoroughly and to report to him which projects he should invest in and why."

"Kims," you shook your head in disbelief and the two of you chuckled before focusing on your own works.

••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••

Time ticked away and you decided to take a quick break. You turned and noticed how pale Yoongi's skin is. You then noticed how he's quite babyfaced and he looked somewhat similar to- you gasped.

"They do exist!"

"What do exist?"

You quickly shook you head and sat down. You slapped your face to calm yourself down and took a quick glimpse at Yoongi who shrugged his shoulders and returned back to work.

You tapped onto the table with the pen and turned to get his attention.

"You went on the business trip with us, right?"

Yoongi nodded his head.

"Is something wrong with that?"

"There was a blackout. Where were you?"

"Sleeping."

You hummed and dropped the topic.

Silence fell again until Yoongi started to get uncomfortable with your continuous staring.

"Is there something on my face?"

"I was just curious about the drink you are having," you hurriedly reached for the cup before he could and he looked at you in shock with his lips slightly apart.

"I-it's cranberry."

"Really? I am kind of thirsty. So, i'm going to drink this," you were about to drink it when he grabbed your wrist to stop you.

"That's a really bad idea."

"Then, what is it?"

He gulped down, "Artificial human blood."

"Oh my lord."

He gave you a small smile before snatching his cup back from you and drinking it away. You stood up and he watched you take your scarf off. You pointed at the bite mark.

"It was you, wasn't it?"

"I can explain."

"You don't even deny! So, vampires do exist?! Wait a minute. There's no one in the company right now. Am I going to die? Are you going to suck all of my blood until I die?"

"Calm down."

"How can I calm down?! I am going to die!"

He clicked his tongue and pulled you by your hand. You fell forward and your eyes widened when your lips met his. His lips tasted so sweet and kinda bitter which must've been due to the blood that he was drinking. He pulled back and you froze.

You touched your lips and felt your cheeks warming up as your heart raced.

"Wha-"

"Look," he cut you off, "I really like you and that night when there was a blackout, I was like really worried that you might've gotten hurt so I went to your room. The thing is I forgot to bring my blood supply for the trip and I was craving for some. However, I was enduring it but when I saw you. You just smelled so good and I ended up biting you. I'm really sorry. I swear I had like just a sip. I would never do anything to hurt you."

You blinked your eyes and listened to Yoongi. You had never seen him this flustered before and he looked kinda cute.

"I know you are mad at me. I am asking my professor about that mark and there is a cure but I just didn't know how to bring it up."

"Well, what's the cure?"

"We did it already."

You tilted your head in confusion and you were even more confused when you noticed his face reddening.

"Kissing," he spelled it out for you and his face burned even harder.

You knew your face was as red as his but you cleared your throat as if you weren't affect by it. You took your phone out to check your neck and the mark was definitely fading away. You were pretty much amazed by it.

"It really works."

"Really?"

You nodded excitedly. He gestured you to come closer and so you did. He leaned in and you suddenly felt something sharp pierced into your neck, causing you to let out a yelp. He pulled back and wiped the blood off his lips.

"Excuse me but what did you just do?!"

You whipped your phone up again and the goddamn mark was there. It's even redder than before.

"An excuse to kiss you."

"What?!"

When you turned, he had already packed his things and leaving.

"You coming? I can send you home. It's late and it's not safe for a lady. We never know if there's a vampire lingering out in the streets."

You rolled your eyes but still packed your things.

"You are very bad at romance."

"I love you?"

"Too late!"

"But I still own you."

"You did that on purpose?! You are ridiculous."

"Love you too, babe."
