Chapter 363 - Tiredness catching up

Using their utmost strength, the two of them tried to push each other back, and couple of times their elements flowed out of their sword. Pressing his leg against the ground, Minhyun tried to maintain his stability. Veins began to pop out of his hand, and due to the heat having having an affect on him, sweat began to form on his forehead. Being this close to the heat was most definitely going to affect him, and looking around frenzily, he tried to look for a way to distract Jaeho out from this. As if his prayers were answered, a voice spoke out, "Hyung, are you here?" Turning his head slightly, Han Minhyun saw Hwnag Yejoon walking towards their direction, and a small smile formed on his face. Now that he was here, Minhyun did not have to worry any longer. Without letting himself show an opening to Oh Jaeho, he said, "Oh! You are here, Yejoon. Good job! First take Jiwoo away from here, and immediately give her some blood. Her situation is serious." Hwang Yejoon's eyes fell on Soohyun on the ground, and judging by how deadly pale she was, he could guess that her situation was serious. Considering how Minhyun was her fated one, it meant that this was having an affect on him as well. With worry visible in his voice, Yejoon said, "Sure, I can do that, Hyung, but what about you? Will you be fine?" "Don't worry about me, Yejoon. Holding off one man is not that big of a deal with me. Just quickly take Jiwoo away from here; she is at a dangerous period now." °°° As Hwang Yejoon stepped into his room with Soohyun in his arms, Lee Kwangsoo and Ahn Eunwoo walked at him and stared at him questioningly. "What had happened?" Kwangsoo questioned. Yejoon replied, "There is no time for that. Immediately get some blood for Moon Jiwoo. I don't know how much longer she will be able to keep on without the blood. According to Minhyun Hyung, her situation is dire." Kwangsoo nodded his head, and without questioning further, he said, "I will be doing that then." With those words, Kwangsoo disappeared into the thin air, and walking over to his couch, Yejoon placed down Soohyun on top of it, carefully placing her head on the pillow. Ahn Eunwoo came over with a glass of water and sprinkled it on Soohyun's face. After a couple of sprinkles, creases formed on her face, and she slowly attempted to open her eyes while a groan escaped from her mouth. Couple of coughs escaped from her mouth while she tried to sit up on the couch, and the coughs carried blood with them. Bringing her hand over to her mouth, she wiped it. When the sight of the blood fell in her eyes, Soohyun's eyes widened, and a gasp escaped from her mouth. Then, all the events of what had happened came rushing to her. Raising her head, she looked at the two man before her. Seeing Ahn Eunwoo and Hwang Yejoon in the same room managed to shock her. She questioned, "What's going—" Before she was about to complete her sentence, a sharp pain went through her c.h.e.s.t, and ache permeated through her head. She began to cough violently, and suffocation overcame her at that moment.  Lee Soohyun had a difficulty breathing at that instant, and with her hand, she tightly gripped on to the material of the couch beside her. She felt as if someone was ripping her heart from within her c.h.e.s.t, and tears welled up at the corner of her eyes. The intense pain made her wish to go numb to it. Hwang Yejoon extended his hand and placed it on top of her shoulders. There was nothing he could do to relieve that pain of Soohyun, and he voiced out, "Just hold on a little longer. The blood will be coming over for you soon." Lee Soohyun's fangs extended further, and she bit into her lower lips. Blood flowed down the wound she created on her lower lip, and it slowly trickled down her chin. That's when, Lee Kwangsoo had arrived into the room, and his hand held on to a glass bottle filled with blood. Letting out a deep breath, he spoke out, "This blood was hard to obtain. It seems that they are keeping guards outside of the blood supplies as well." Giving no response to those words of Kwangsoo, Yejoon snatched the glass bottle from his hand and removed the cap from on top of it. The smell of the blood instantly reached Soohyun's nose, and the appetizing scent caused red to flash through her eyes. Gradually, the pain in her body was starting to get numb, and her mind was only concentrated on one thing— the bottle of red liquid in Yejoon's hand. Unable to process anything at that moment, she extended her hand towards Yejoon in order to take that glass bottle from him. Without any hesitation, Yejoon handed over the bottle to her. Taking the bottle from him, she brought it closer to her mouth, and greedily, she began to drink down the contents inside the bottle.  As the red liquid passed down her throat, Soohyun found herself feeling refreshed; it was as if all the pain she felt was being washed away due to this. Blood flowed down her lips while she messily drank the blood, and its taste was able to satisfy Soohyun completely. All of her fatigue was being driven away. After finishing the entire content inside that bottle, she moved away the bottle from her face and commented, "That felt great, but why do I feel so much sleepy now?" Lee Soohyun let out a yawn as she could find herself losing the control over her limbs. "You should go to sleep now, Jiwoo," Yejoon spoke out, "This is normal, and all that tiredness must be catching up to you. We will be waking you up once Hyung is back."
