Sneaking Into Wu Hexie's Room

"I cannot help but share this piece of info to you guys. There was a guy beaten to pulp last week near Club Luna right? I heard this from schoolmates who saw what happened! Wu Hexie was the last person seen together with the guy!"

Wu Hexie is hanging out in a club? Somehow the thought made Kazuki annoyed.

'What the fuck is she doing there?'

'Do her parents know?' An evil smirk was forming on his lips.

The people near the girls were now immersed with Wu Hexie being a vampire as a topic. All these were just hearsay, so Kazuki only treated this as a joke. So she is famous in this school huh? As a notorious vampire at that! He only stifled a laugh.

So due to the commotion, he easily skipped the seats since others who were ahead left their to listen to the rumors instead of completing the enrollment. People nowadays really love gossip.

Once Kazuki got his stuff, he immediately went straight home. Nanny Lin cooked him a warm dinner and once again told him Hexie Wu will arrive late. His nose was still runny and can't smell the delicious looking soup.

After dinner, Kazuki bid the Wu's old nanny a good night and went upstairs. Since he was only wearing the house slippers, he felt an odd coldness in his feet when he passed by Wu Hexie's room. As expected it was locked. He crouched down and inspected the door. It was fucking cold like he was a the insides of a freezer.

He suddenly remembered Mother-in-law Wu Lifen's message earlier about Wu Hexie's excessive use of her room's air conditioner. Then he also remembered one of the noisy students remark how Wu Hexie's skin is cold to touch and that she was too pale. Another commented that those are vampire traits.

Kazuki scowled at his thought bubble. He didn't like how he could easily remember things even the trivial ones. One down side of being a genius with extremely good memory.

'Time to make some music' he thought and slid into his room, which is the room next to Wu Hexie's.

Kazuki sat at his bed and strummed some chords on his guitar while humming. It was a tune he recently dreamed of. He was still struggling what the song will be about. And he was reminded again with Wu Hexie and the story about the Blood Donation Day.

"Hmm...lyrics with something about blood?" He thought solemnly.

"My blood, sweat and tears..." He sang softly. And he finally had an idea what the song will be about.

Since everyone's been hang up on vampires, why don't Last Song Syndrome do a Vampire theme on their next comeback? Kazuki called their producer to give his suggestion as well as a sample of the song he just made.

When he finished his work, it was already almost midnight. Wu Hexie was still not home. His nose was still useless in smelling but it was no longer runny.

He went out to the connected balcony and observed his new home.

He noticed the plant rack that subtly divides the balcony. It was full of cacti and other thorny little plants. The rack was heavy but it was easily movable for him. Even though he is a singer now, he was still as fit as he was in the past.

His dark past. He smiled grimly. And in a few years, he will be sucked back into it with Wu Hexie as heavy buggage.

After being exposed to the reality of what their family business is at a very young age, he swore to protect his little brother from all the madness. So before he gets consumed with his inevitable dark future, he has to make his passion for music a reality. He formed a band and made music together. That is until the marriage alliances.

And hence the deal with Wu Hexie was born. His grandfather wanted the alliance with the Wu's for the longest time since he was brought to the dark world of their family business. The Wu was their arch nemesis in the underground business, but then another competitor came in, rivaling both families corporation: The Liu Corps. They were rising fast in the all aspects of business. The Liu's was nearing the top 5, and in a few years they might be on par with the Top 5 Businessesin this country.

The two families then forged an alliance but neither wanted to merge the two companies, so two marriage alliance was proposed. The older Wu brother easily agreed, his daughter was the first one to marry, she was partnered with the youngest of the 2nd generation Choi siblings, the 6th son, Choi Kazuhiro.

The second Wu brother hesitated since his daughter was already committed in another marriage alliance, so the burden was passed on to the third Wu household, George Huang Wu.

Wu Hexie made the marriage alliance difficult since she always try to escape the formal dinners with the Choi's until she finally agreed on that night where the Wu's encountered a fiasco at their own daughter's birthday party.

Choi Kazuki was there when Wu Hexie jumped in the 3rd floor veranda and luckily landed on the pool. But the foolish girl didn't take into account her ridiculously over clothed victorian dress which made her sank to the bottom. She was saved though, by one of their bodyguards.

She spewed an eloquent speech, any educated person would detect the venom on her sweet words towards her vile relatives. A part of him was happy that she finally relented and agreed on the marriage alliance, but it was all too suspicious.

What made her change her mind? She was obviously against the arranged marriage.

And now due to his curiosity and suspicions, Choi Kazuki is force entering Wu Hexie's fucking cold room. The glass sliding door was surprisingly unlocked so he was now inside the room.

Wu Hexie's room was tidy except for her study desk which was filled with highlighters and some study materials of her pre-med course. She must have been advance studying since some books were labeled for 2nd years.

He looked around some more. The room has the same interior with his but instead of having monochromatic color scheme, her room was more pastel. He checked the bathroom and nothing was out of the ordinary. No sign of blood packs were on sight, so he went back to observing Wu Hexie's study desk. He heard a loud screams of probably drunk girls outside but he ignored it and continued scanning the room.

As he look closely, the printed materials with highlighted words were about...blood circulation. The diagrams were pictures of the circulatory system of different animals and there was also a human's diagram. He scanned the other stack of papers. Some were about Biochemistry and others were Comparative Biology topics.

Choi Kazuki's mind was blank for a complete minute. And that's when he heard light footsteps getting nearing the door.

The phrase: Curiosity kills the cat is very appropriate right now.

"Shit!" Kazuki cursed to himself. It was too late to exit through the sliding doors, he has to hide!

In a few seconds, Wu Hexie would open the door of her room and he can't afford to be caught inside her room like a criminal. The bathroom was not a good idea as well as the closet. The only place that was considered a safe hiding spot was...under the bed.

With Choi Kazuki's fast reflex, he was already hiding under the bed. Not just any bed, but Wu Hexie's queen sized bed. Thankfully for him, he only have to curl his legs slightly and his while body was now concealed.

And that's how he found himself in this eccentric situation.

Once Wu Hexie opened the door, the girl immediately gasped. Choi Kazuki stiffened on his spot.
