Chapter 18 : The Kidnapping

After months of living in the Kim's mansion, I was starting to feel a sense of comfort in my new surroundings. With Namjoon away on business trips, Jimin and I decided to make the most of our time together. We borrowed Namjoon's car, courtesy of Jimin's quick call, and indulged in a night out at luxurious restaurants. I hadn't felt this carefree in a long time, and Jimin's company only added to the joy.

As we drove back to the mansion, our evening was abruptly disrupted. Suddenly, the car jolted to a halt, hit by an unseen force. We exchanged worried glances and stepped out to assess the damage. That's when we saw him - a menacing figure with an unyielding gaze. His eyes locked onto me, and I felt a shiver run down my spine.

Jimin attempted to protect me from the stranger, his voice firm and commanding. "Stay back, Cha Eun-woo! Don't come any closer to us, especially her!" But his warning fell on deaf ears. The stranger effortlessly overpowered Jimin, leaving him writhing in agony on the ground. Then, his attention turned to me. His grip was like a vice, refusing to yield despite my frantic screams and kicks. He dragged me away, his hold unrelenting, and I was consumed by darkness.

Cha Eun Woo's POV

As they emerged from the car, my eyes scanned the duo, expecting to see Namjoon. But instead, my gaze landed on a vision of loveliness. She stepped out of the vehicle, her eyes wide with fear, and her beauty struck me like a thunderbolt. I felt a jolt of surprise, my mind momentarily stunned by her radiance.

Her features were delicate, yet striking, and her skin seemed to glow in the dim light. I couldn't help but be drawn to her, my eyes locking onto hers with an unsettling intensity. My mind raced with primal urges, a burning desire to claim her as mine.

Jimin attempted to shield her from my grasp, but his efforts were futile. With ease, I overpowered him, sending him tumbling to the ground, where he lay writhing in agony. The girl rushed to his side, her concern for his well-being palpable. I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by their peculiar bond.

Why would a vampire like Jimin risk his own safety to protect a mere mortal? And why would she a human, in turn, show such devotion to a creature of the night? tsk. The dynamics between them were a mystery I aimed to unravel.

My curiosity piqued, I decided to probe deeper into this enigmatic pair. There was something about the girl that drew me in, something that went beyond her captivating beauty. I sensed a hidden strength, a resilience that belied her fragile appearance. And I was determined to uncover the secrets she held, to claim her as my own, and make her mine. The thrill of the unknown only fueled my obsession
