Chapter 6
Chaewon and Yena started their day like any other, tangled in each other's arms with lazy smiles painted on their faces, “Good morning baby” Yena mumbled out while pulling her girlfriend closer to her. Chaewon cooed at the older girl’s show of affection, both her and Yena cherished these mornings together more than anything, “Good morning to you too my love. What time is it?” The two had a habit of sleeping in late together.
Yena reluctantly rolled to her side of their bed to check the alarm “Fuck. Babe breakfast starts in like four minutes!” With that both girl’s quickly got out of bed and flew through their morning routine, Yena got the bathroom first while Chaewon got dressed and vice versa.
The couple was only ten minutes late to breakfast which gave them plenty of time to fully wake up, Chaewon took Yena’s hand “Do you want to try and find Yuri? Maybe we could ask her if she wants to sit with us?”
Normally Chaewon and Yena would sit outside during meals away from crowds to help ease Yena’s wolf. However, more recently Chaewon has been trying to slowly move their mealtimes inside, don’t get her wrong- she loves Yena and hates other people, it’s just sometimes she wants to be a little closer to the blood cooler.
Yena motioned across the room towards a table filled with witches, there in the center sat Yuri “Looks like she found some people to sit with already, we can try again at lunch or tomorrow.” Both girls sighed in disappointment, for some reason they both felt a pull towards the newest witch and wanted to spend as much time with her as possible.
Just as Yena started to head towards the breakfast bar for some of her beloved cinnamon toast crunch, she felt Chaewon stiffen, all it took was a squeeze of her hand for Yena to know someone in the cafeteria had triggered a code red.
Both girls went on high alert, praying it wasn’t Yuri who was hurt, if it were Chaeyeon, or basically anyone else, they would probably be able to handle the situation themselves, but Yuri was a newly realized witch with no experience around frenzied vampires. All the couple’s hope vanished when they heard Hitomi shout “Code Red! Code Red!”
It was as if they could read each other's minds, Chaewon ran as fast as she could to get to Yuri and take her to safety. Yena on the other hand used her status and pack ranking to get the other wolves to help contain and calm the vampires.
Granted, Enozi was filled with powerful witches, but when it came to pure strength and reflexes the wolves were the school’s best option for keeping the vampires in line.
Yena released a warning growl “Anyone who touches Yuri will deal with me. Stand down.”, this caused several of the vampires to snap out of their haze leaving only the newest and youngest vampires to deal with. Hyewon sped towards Yena and quickly took control of the situation, “Go check on Chaewon and Yuri, I’ve got things handled here.” the head vampire thanked Yena once again before sending the wolf onward.
It was strange, to say the least, the way Yena felt when Yuri was in danger. It was a feeling she normally associated with Chaewon, a mix of fear and desperation with a hint of something Yena just couldn’t describe. She decided she should talk to Chaewon about it, Chaewon always helps Yena with her emotions, she would know what to do.
Talking to Chaewon about it would have to wait though, because Yena had finally arrived at her room and has to comfort Yuri, who was probably freaking out, or at least that was the plan until she walked into her room to find Yuri’s cut pressed to Chaewon’s lips and the witch whispering “I trust you.”
Prior to her wolf gene activating Yena would consider herself a pretty level headed person, but that seemed like a lifetime ago. Current, post wolf gene activation Yena, was a completely different story.
So when Chaewon noticed Yena frozen by the door she could only pray that the more rational side of Yena would come out, what she was not expecting was to see Yena cover her eyes like a child and scream “I didn’t see anything!” quickly followed up by “Chaewon if you eat Yuri there will be no cuddles for a week!”
At the wolf’s statement, Yuri removed her finger from the vampire’s lips and turned to face Yena, eyes wide and accusing “I’m sorry, do you want to repeat that? Because I know damn well I didn’t just hear you say my life was only worth a week of cuddles.”
“You should take it as a compliment! Most people are only worth a day without cuddles if Chaewon eats them!”
Yuri then turned to the vampire “How many people have you eaten?!” Chaewon put her hands in the air, surrendering, “I haven’t eaten anyone….recently!”
Yena approached the bed and sat between the two girls. “So Yul, that’s quite a first morning impression.” Yuri flopped back onto the bed, dramatically throwing her hand on her forehead like a damsel in distress, “Please, that has to be the worst first day in the history of Enozi. That’s it, I have to transfer.”
Chaewon and Yena let out hefty laughs, both joining the witch in laying down, “Don’t worry Yul, on Yena’s first day she tried to fight Eunbi and ended up locked in the wolf cellar in a sleeping spell for two days.” Yena shoved Chaewon playfully, “Oh please Chaewon, don’t forget on your first day you accidentally broke Nako’s hand when you gave her a handshake.”
Now it was Yuri’s turn to laugh, “Wait wait wait, you guys can’t just leave me with that! I need backstories! I need a major motion picture!”
Chaewon hummed “Hmm, how about if you sit with us at lunch we’ll tell you then?” a smile slowly spread across Yuri’s face, “If you wanted to eat with me you could have just asked.”
Chaewon was about to defend herself when a voice came over the building’s intercom “Hello students of Enozi, this is Kang Hyewon head vampire representative. After today’s code red I would like to apologize on behalf of the vampires. I have also spoken to the headmaster, we have agreed to skip first and second period today and will return to our normal school schedule by third period. Thank you for your time, once again this has been Kang Hyewon head vampire representative.”
Yena rolled onto her side to check the clock she kept on her nightstand. “Looks like we have a little under an hour until we need to head to class. That gives us the perfect amount of time for…” Yena’s voice trailed off as she gave the two other girls a mischievous smirk.
“Oh you’re on,” Chaewon said with determination, returning Yena’s smirk with her own look of tenacity. “Wait what are you guys talking about?” Yuri asked the couple, feeling out of the loop. Yena responded with a vague “Oh you’ll see.” as she got off her bed and headed towards one of the two desks in the room.
Yena slowly opened the lower right drawer and grabbed a small black box, she turned around to flash it‘s contents to Yuri who gasped in shock “No way…”

“Fuck you and your blue shell!” Yuri screamed at Yena who had just knocked her back six places on their final lap, “Don’t hate the player! Hate the game!” Yena cackled out evilly.
The three girls sat on Yena and Chaewon’s “mega bed”, Yuri found out Yena had named it, playing Mario Kart on Chaewon’s nintendo switch.
“And that’s three wins for me, one win for Yul, and two wins for Chaewon; making moi, the Mario Kart champion.” Yena jumped up and did a victory dance
“Boo!” Yuri and Chaewon heckled in unison.
Yena turned and bowed “Thank you, thank you! I love the fans!” Just then a voice came over the intercom once again reminding the students that their third period class was to start in 10 minutes.
Yena quickly turned off their game and grabbed the books she and Chaewon would need for the rest of their classes. “My stuff is still in the cafeteria so I can grab it on my way to um…” Yuri paused trying to remember her schedule.
“You most likely have one of the witch classes for third period, it’s around the time when we split into our respective species classes,” Chaewon told Yuri.
“Oh so that means I have class with Wonyoung!” Yuri excitedly replied as she headed towards the door. Before she could leave, she was being stopped by a voice she’d grown familiar with in the past day.
“Hey Yul, could you maybe wear this for today?” Yena shyly asked, handing Yuri one of her hoodies. “It’s just Chaewon and I can't be with you all day and after this morning and stuff…”
Yuri blushed, not knowing the full meaning of the jacket but putting it on with pride “Aw, you guys do care about me.” the youngest teased. It was Yena’s turn to blush now “Oh shut up, now let’s go. We don't want you to be late.”
