Brown eyes met the red eyes.
He couldn't look away as if he was under his spell. He didn't know what got into him but he pulled the red-eyed boy inside before locking the door.

❄️❄️❄️

Everyone stared at the red-eyed boy who gulped down the cup of red liquid. The red liquid is donated blood that the cafe provided. It was normal for cafes to have donated blood in their menu. The new boy looked around, 8 boys are staring at him. He coughed.

" Thank you for the blood. I really thought i was going to die. " He said with a slight a playful tone.

All of them turn their attention to the boy that took the vampire in, Hyunjin. They didn't say anything but Hyunjin knew they wanted explanation.

" I was locking the back door and he was sitting at the door step. It is snowing and look at what he's wearing. " Hyunjin said as lightly tugged at Seungmin's thin shirt.

" He would freeze to death out there. " Hyunjin added and Seungmin glared, feeling offended. He stood up and folded his arms.

" Do you think i am THAT weak? I would be okay even if you didn't suddenly drag me all the way here. " He said, voice sounded cocky. But of course deep down inside he was thankful Hyunjin let him in, because he really thought he was about to die, not only for the cold but also because he was very hungry.

" Where is your home vampire? " Felix asked and Seungmin furrowed his eyebrows at the nickname.

" Kim Seungmin. And... i'm a stray so no home for me. " He said casually as if he answered the question thousands of times already.

" Cool! Do you wanna stay here then? " Jisung came closer to him.

" Great idea! It'll be sooo fun! I wanna learn more about vampires anyway. " Felix give a thumbs up for Jisung.

" Yes. Think of the things that we can do- " Jisung and Felix then started to drowned into their own world, not a big surprise.

" Well.. We welcome you to Stay. Cafe for humans and vampires. I'm Chan, this is Woojin, the two talkative guys are Jisung and Felix, this is Minho, here's our maknae Jeongin and last but not least our best worker in the cafe Hwang Hyunjin. He is such a hard-working young man, sometimes we feel bad for him that he has to overwork himself like this. " Chan said in an over dramatic tone while circling his arm around Hyunjin.

" Then maybe you all should start to wake up early from now on. " Hyunjin said with a slight smile and Chan removed his hand completely from Hyunjin.

" We can't do that! Nobody can wake up as early as you~ " Chan said while nudging his arm. Hyunjin just rolled his eyes in response.

" That's very sweet but no thank you. I'm not going to stay here. All of you are very nice to me so i wanna say thank you one more time, i'm gonna leave now. " Seungmin said that so fast as if he is a rapper. He stood up, bowed and ready to leave but someone grabbed him by his wrist, stopping him from taking any step further.

The vampire turned around and found that it was Chan who stopped him.

" You're not going anywhere while it is snowing outside. Beside, i bet you don't have anymore money with you right? That is why you were hungry, because you couldn't buy anymore blood. " Chan stated and Seungmin was surprised. Chan must be a mind reader.

" Well, still i'm not going to just stay here. " Seungmin said, still not giving in just like that.

Chan let go of Seungmin's hand and thought for a while. Seungmin didn't walk away, instead he waited for Chan to say what he wanted to say. Only within a seconds, Chan got an idea, a smile appeared across his face.

" Then you don't have to stay forever, just stay here until Christmas. The weather should be fine after that. " Chan said Seungmin looked at the floor and thought for a while.

" But this is only the beginning of December. "

" I don't think any of us mind. Right guys? " Chan looked at the members and they all nodded except for Hyunjin.

" But- " Hyunjin started but got cut off by Chan.

" Wonderful! So for the time being, you're going to be sleeping in Hyunjin's room. "

❄️❄️❄️

" Why must it be my room?! " Hyunjin complained while Seungmin just out on his poker face while standing beside his bed.

" Well Chan told me to and everyone agreed so.. " He said and Hyunjin stood up from where he was laying (his bed of course).

" Then you're sleeping on the floor. " Hyunjin said while pointing at the floor.

Seungmin jaw dropped, looking offended.
" What? You want me to sleep on the floor?! Your bed probably is not that comfy in the first place and you want me to sleep on the floor? " Seungmin complained.

" Well, anyway i'm not sleeping." Seungmin said while sitting on the floor where Hyunjin pointed earlier anyway. He sat there while looking at Hyunjin.

" Why? " Hyunjin asked, wasn't actually interested.

" I'm a vampire. I don't sleep at the night, j sleep at the day. " He said like it is something normal. Hyunjin blinked.

" What are you? A tradisional vampire or something? Vampires nowdays sleep at night. " Hyunjin rolled his eyes before tossing a blanket and a pillow.

Seungmin took it and set his own bed on the floor right beside Hyunjin's bed, he tried laying down and hissed at how cold the floor was. Hyunjin just stared at him with an unamused gaze.

" Can you just turn off the air conditioner geez. " Seungmin complained, not bothering to get up from where he was laying down.

" Damn you're so noisy, should've left you in the snow. "

Seungmin rolled his eyes.
" Yeah. I handled that before i just need to do it again. " He said calmly and Hyunjin raised an eyebrow.

" Do it again? " He asked.

" Being left in the snow and surviving. I can do that. " Seungmin said while looking at him with his red eyes.

" You said again. " Hyunjin said and Seungmin just sighed.

" Forget about it. I'll shut up now and go to sleep. " Seungmin said while facing away, his back facing Hyunjin. Hyunjin stared at his back confusedly.

" Weirdo.. " He mumbled before laying down on his bed.

That night surely was one of the weirdest night Hyunjin had. Part of him hoped that it was just a dream. He hope Seungmin would disappear when he wakes up in the morning. But part of him doesn't. He tried to remember what made him suddenly pulled Seungmin inside and then he remembered something. It was the look on Seungmin's eyes, he didn't know why but he felt his heart throbbed when he saw it. His eyes looks beautiful but empty.

He shook his head lightly before shutting his eyes close. He shouldn't think too much about it. Slowly he drifted into a peaceful slumber.

❄️❄️❄️

Hyunjin's eyes gently fluttered open. He woke up by the sound of his alarm on his phone playing Got7's song which is his favourite boy group. He lazily reached out for his phone and felt something else. A hand?

He quickly pulled back his hand and turned his head. Seungmin was there, holding his phone while looking at him. Hyunjin just stared back. Then, Seungmin turned off his alarm before placing it back on the table.

Hyunjin just watched him and got up from where he was laying down.
" You're up early. " Hyunjin said while walking towards the bathroom, waiting for a reply from the younger but he didn't give him what he expected.

" You're going to open the cafe right? I'm gonna wait downstairs. " Seungmin said before unlocking the door.

" Don't touch anything, I don't want you to broke them. " Hyunjin said before washing his face. He expected that Seungmin won't be giving him any answer anyway and what he expected was right.

Seungmin just shut the door and walked downstairs. Hyunjin sighed and started brushing his teeth while staring at his reflection in the mirror.

'So this is not a dream...' He thought to himself. But Seungmin acted a bit different. Just the day before, he was so talkative and won't stop complaining about everything. He was acting kinda cold to Hyunjin that morning. Maybe he was mad about something? Hyunjin did asked about something and he didn't answer. Maybe it's a sensitive topic.

He then took a bath and walked out the bathroom. He then open his wardrobe and picked his oversized hoodie brown hoodie. Unlike cafes in general, they don't have any uniform or something like that. They can wear anything that they feel like wearing. That reminds Hyunjin, Seungmin didn't change, maybe he should lend Hyunjin his outfit. Hyunjin's wardrobe is full of hoodie and simple shirts. Since it was winter, Hyunjin thought it'll be better for him to lend Seungmin a hoodie instead.

He thought for a while before picking a grey hoodie for him. Now that he thought about it again, Seungmin said it was cold last night, is he mad because of that? Or maybe he is sick now because of that? Why is Hyunjin getting stressed thinking about all of this. He shook off the topic out of his head, he got something important to do. Opening the cafe.

The sky was still dark since he was up at 5. He walked downstairs and saw Seungmin was looking at the coffees with curious eyes. He jumped when he realized Hyunjin was looking at him.

" I didn't touch anything! I'm just looking. " Seungmin quickly defended himself and Hyunjin thought he knew what made Seungmin acts like that now.

" It's fine. You can look at them all you want. " Hyunjin said before handing Seungmin his hoodie. Seungmin looked at him with a slight confused expression.

" Go change. " Hyunjin said and Seungmin just shrugged his shoulder and did as he said.

Then Hyunjin started to set up the coffee machines and turning on some other machines that Seungmin didn't understand. He cleaned the counter with wet napkins. When he was done, he turned around to see Seungmin already in his hoodie. He only realized something once Seungmin was in his hoodie. He has a slight smaller figure than Hyunjin.

" What? " Seungmin asked.

" Nothin'. " Hyunjin answered before walking towards the main door.

Hyunjin then open the main door. And now the part he hates the most, moving the chairs and tables, it's very tiring. The cafe is not that big, when it is closing time they need to realign all of the seats.

Seungmin watched as Hyunjin slowly getting more and more tired.

" Lame.. " Seungmin mumbled under his breath but Hyunjin could hear that. He shot Seungmin and death glare. Seungmin looked a bit taken aback, even though Hyunjin doesn't have pointy ears like Seungmin does his hearing is not bad.

" Easy for you to say. " Hyunjin said while continue doing his job. Seungmin rolled his eyes and walked beside him.

" What? " Hyunjin asked and Seungmin didn't say anything but picking up one of the tables easily. Hyunjin's jaw dropped.

" Where do i put this? " Seungmin asked and Hyunjin just pointed at where the seat is supposed to be. Seungmin looked at him as he placed it down and then smirked.

" See? I told ya. Easy. " He said and Hyunjin just looked away while picking up another table.

" You're a vampire, it's not fair. " Hyunjin said, but he was hoping that Seungmin would really help him, it'll be less hard for him. Thankfully Seungmin did. Just in a few minutes all the seat was aligned nicely.

Seungmin sat down on one of the seat and smiled proudly.
" You're finished sooner then you usually does right? " He said and Hyunjin couldn't help the smile that crept up his face.

He walked towards the counter and poured something into the glass and Seungmin could quickly smell it. He walked towards Seungmin and sat across him. Seungmin's red eyes sparkled as he watch Hyunjin placed the glass of blood on the table.

He gulped.
" Are you going to drink that? " Seungmin asked while keep staring at the liquid.

Hyunjin chuckled.
" I'm a human I don't drink blood. It's for you, drink up. " Hyunjin said and Seungmin quickly did. He gulped down the blood happily.

Hyunjin just watched him as he did. Seungmin sighed when he finish the last gulp.

" Vampires can survive only with blood? " Hyunjin said in curiosity. Seungmin thought for a while as he wipe his lips.

" Well of course we can. But seems like vampires now days eat human foods too! But without garlic of course. " Seungmin answered.

It is true that Hyunjin came across vampire customers that ordered some food too. He doesn't know what vampires usually eat but he won't ask, he'll probably regret knowing. Just when the room is about to be quiet again, a loud yawn filled the room. Both of them turned their head to see Felix and Changbin walked down from upstairs. The loud yawn certainly came from Felix.

" Oh? You finished sooner then how you used to. " Felix said as he looked around the cafe.

Hyunjin looked at Seungmin before smiling.

" Well... I got a little help. "
