A Lovely Meal — Chapter 27

I WAS ACTUALLY A LITTLE SURPRISED

WHEN YOU SUDDENLY ASKED ME TO GO SHOPPING WITH YOU.

HUH? WHY?

YOU DON'T REALLY LIKE CROWDED PLACES, HYUNG.

AND SINCE IT'S NEW YEAR'S, I FIGURED EVERYWHERE WOULD BE PACKED.

WELL...

PEOPLE-WATCHING CAN BE PRETTY ENTERTAINING, SO I DON'T MIND.

OH... REALLY?

THEN MAYBE WE CAN GO OUT LIKE THIS MORE OFTEN.

GOING OUT OF MY WAY TO VISIT CROWDED PLACES IS ANOTHER STORY.

I ONLY CAME OUT TODAY TO BUY YOUR BIRTHDAY PRESENT.

YOU SAID I'D GET AROUSED AGAINST MY WILL...

DON'T TELL ME... ME???!

...I WAS ONLY THINKING

I'D LET HIM HAVE SOME OF MY BLOOD.

WHAT THE HELL...?

NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY HE AVOIDED EXPLAINING IT.

IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE HE DISLIKES FEEDING DIRECTLY,

SO HE MUST'VE BEEN WORRIED I'D BE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH IT...

...JUST LOOK AT THIS FOR NOW.

OH, OKAY...

SO...

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS,

BUT YOU'RE SAYING THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN YOU FEED DIRECTLY.

ARE YOU SURE THAT'S TRUE?

COULDN'T IT JUST BE A RUMOR...?

HYUNG, I'M FINE.

I'M USED TO DRINKING FROM BLOOD PACKS ANYWAY.

AND I CAN LIVE JUST FINE WITHOUT FEEDING DIRECTLY.

I DON'T PLAN ON EVER DOING IT.

ANYWAY...

WE CAME OUT TO BUY YOUR PRESENT,

SO WHY THE HELL DID YOU BUY ME SHOES?

HUH? BUT...

YOU ALWAYS WEAR EITHER DRESS SHOES OR SLIPPERS, HYUNG.

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GET YOU A PAIR OF SNEAKERS.

OH, OUR TRAIN'S HERE! LET'S HURRY HOME~

HEY, THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT, THE LESS RIGHT THIS FEELS.

THESE SHOES COST WAY MORE THAN WHAT I GOT YOU.

THAT HARDLY SEEMS LIKE A FAIR TRADE.

WE SHOULD JUST RETURN-

HUH?!

HEY, HEY! WE HAVE TO CATCH THIS ONE!!!

PLEASE MOVE FARTER INSIDE!

JEEZ... WHY'D THEY HAVE TO SHOVE US LIKE THAT...?

I ALMOST FELL OVER.

I'M SORRY...

BUT STAY LIKE THIS FOR A FEW STOPS...

...WHAT IS IT?

[THE DOORS ARE CLOSING.]

HEY, YOUR EYES...

..........HMM.

...KEEP YOUR FACE BURIED IN MY SHOULDER FOR A BIT.

OKAY...

HYUNG....

WHAT....

I'M SORRY...

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE SO MUCH TO APOLOGIZE FOR?

BECAUSE YOU CAME OUT DURING THE NEW YEAR RUSH BECAUSE OF ME,

AND NOW YOU'RE GETTING SHOVED AROUND...

I'M THE ONE WHO SUGGESTED GOING OUT.

BUT I DON'T THINK

I'LL GO SHOPPING AROUND NEW YEAR'S AGAIN.

PFFTT...

DON'T LAUGH. IT TICKLES.

HEHE... OKAY...

WHOAA~

YOU REALLY GOT ME A CAKE?

I'M SO TOUCHED...

OH, ARE YOU GOING TO SING "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" TOO...?

JUST MAKE A WISH BEFORE THE WAX DRIPS ONTO THE CAKE.

OHH...

THEN

MY WISH IS...

HUUU~

ALL DONE~

NOW LET'S SHARE IT!

WU JONGWU.

YEAH?

DO YOU STILL

HAVE NO INTENTION OF FEEDING DIRECTLY?

...HYUNG, ABOUT WHAT

I TOLD YOU BEFORE...

I REMEMBER.

YOU SAID I'D GET AROUSED OR SOMETHING...

BUT THAT'S ONLY WHAT YOU'VE BEEN TOLD, RIGHT?

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS YET.

I'M PERSONALLY CURIOUS ABOUT IT, TOO.

AND I DON'T MIND,

SO IF YOU WANT TO, YOU CAN FEED ON ME.

LIKE YOU SAID, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ACTUALLY TRUE,

BUT STILL...

I'M... SCARED.

WHAT IF I FEED ON YOU AND IT PUTS US IN AN AWKWARD SITUATION?

I'M AFRAID IT'LL ONLY MAKE THINGS UNCOMFORTABLE BETWEEN US...

WELL...

I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE WORRIED.

BUT... THE WAY I SEE IT,

I DON'T THINK SOMETHING LIKE THAT

WOULD SUDDENLY MAKE THINGS AWKWARD BETWEEN US.

OF COURSE, JUST IN CASE SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN,

I'LL ONLY GIVE YOU ENOUGH FOR A LITTLE TASTE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

...IN THAT CASE...

I....

I WANT TO TRY... FEEDING ON YOU.

OKAY.

THEN DO IT NOW.

HUH?

RIGHT NOW?!

IF NOT NOW, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DO IT?

SINCE WE'RE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT IT, JUST DO IT.

I'LL JUST SIT HERE,

SO FEED HOWEVER YOU NEED TO.

LIKE I SAID, ONLY A LITTLE.

...OKAY.

YOU MIGHT FEEL A SLIGHT PRICK AT FIRST...

BUT IT SHOULDN'T HURT.

IF IT HURTS,

OR IF ANYTHING FEELS STRANGE, PLEASE TELL ME.

I'LL STOP RIGHT AWAY.

THEN...

PLEASE BEAR WITH IT FOR A MOMENT.
