OKAY DEAR GOD I CRIED WHILE WRITING THIS EHOFIJWDKBFJSDJA

It was nighttime, and the three of them lay on the same bed, staring at the ceiling. "That was-" Xiaojun's face flushed just thinking about it. Hendery smiled, but just when he was about to reply, his phone rang, and this time he had already taken the painkillers, so he got up and picked up.

"Hello-" his face went pale after hearing whatever was on the line. "Yes- I'll be there." Hendery ran over to the wardrobe, pulling out his suit. "What's wrong?" Lucas sat up, glancing at the prince. "Baekhyun- Grandpa- he had an accident."

"What do you mean by accident-" Hendery tried to calm down his nervous breathing. "He- he was turned into a human-" Lucas's eyes widened at hearing that.

"But- how-?" Hendery shook his head. "I don't know, get dressed, we're going together." Although Xiaojun didn't like Baekhyun, he nodded and changed into semi-formal clothes, following Hendery out.

"Right, grab on tight. We're teleporting." Dejun closed his eyes, and when he opened them, they were in SM building, and Hendery ran towards the infirmary. They were stopped by nurses, handing them gloves, and then let them step inside.

Dejun was trying to force his gloves on, but then he saw Baekhyun stumble in the room, and he reached forward, the glove forgotten, and helped Baekhyun upright. Hendery's eyes widened as he saw Dejun touch Baekhyun.

"DEJUN NO THAT'S DANGEROUS-" Hendery finished pulling his gloves on, and dove towards Xiaojun, who had already toppled onto the floor, yelling for the doctors to come over.

Xiaojun woke up later, lying in a bed, and Hendery was staring at him, his gaze complicated. "Why are you looking at me like that?" "Well, there's good news and bad news."

"What's the good news?" Hendery sighed, and clenched his fists. "Well, you don't have to drink vampire blood anymore." Xiaojun smiled, grinning. "That's good, right? What's the bad news?" "Both you and Baekhyun aren't vampires anymore."

"Wait so- he's not the vampire king anymore? And Jaehyun's gonna be the next king?" Hendery shook his head. "Pa's not next in line. He has his company so he's not in line for King..." the prince let out a huge sigh. "I am, Dejun. I'm next in line, and they- they're going to take my memories."

"All of them this time, they're going to completely cancel you and Xuxi from my life, because if I'm going to be king I need a 'proper' vampire mate and-"

The prince broke off, seeing Xiaojun's agonized expression. "What do you mean you need a proper-" Xiaojun broke off, staring at Lucas. "He's- he's going to be married to someone else?" Xuxi nodded, glaring at Hendery.

"You can't-" Hendery clenched his teeth. Neither of the two humans had heard his conversation with the nobles outside.

'Prince Hendery, they know we're weak, they need a proper king and we need to unite vampires and werewolves against what's coming, you know so-"

"Then how is marrying me to a werewolf going to help?" the nobles shook their heads. "That's not what's most important, okay? Ever since the news got out you're dating humans and being so close to them we've gotten more than 23 thousand cases around the world of vampires assaulting humans, you have stay away from the two of them! Do you understand?"

Hendery shook his head, nearly crying. "This cannot be happening-" "Well it fucking is, my prince, with all due respect, if you don't do this, you know fairly well there are a lot of vampire families who'd gladly kill the both of them-" Hendery went pale at the thought of that.

"If you don't let us take your memories- we'll have to kill them, my prince.. You have to forget them and marry the werewolf. Or else the vampire royals and werewolf nobles will hurt the two, you have to protect them..."

Lucas glanced at Hendery. "Do you really have to marry a stranger-" "Not a stranger." Yangyang walked in through the door, smiling. "Well, I'm not a stranger, am I." Lucas and Xiaojun both stared at Yangyang in surprise. "You-" Yangyang smirked a little, the smirk not matching his angelic face. "Well then, mann. See you later at our house." and with that, Yangyang kissed Hendery's cheek, walking out.

"You're actually doing it?" Hendery clenched his teeth. He couldn't tell the two of them that he was basically threatened with their lives, or they'd just try even more to stop them. "They gave me one last month with you 2..."

The prince glanced at Dejun sadly. "And I still don't remember you from before..." the two were mad at him, of course they were. They completely had the right to be, who wouldn't be mad at him for doing such a jerk thing? "What are you not telling us, Hendery?" Lucas asked, seeing straight through his best friend. And Hendery hadn't even told them what would happen when they removed the two of them from his memories.

"They- they'll re- reprogram me." Xiaojun stared at Hendery, not understanding. "What do you mean reprogram you-" "They're going to turn me into a vampire that hates humans. A cold-blooded, savage and inhumane killing machine that's going to be crowned king."

"But-" Hendery clenched his teeth. "It's been my fate since I was born, and you two are the only things stopping me. You two turned me almost human and now you're in their way of success, you're in their way of making me king and-"

Lucas got up, and savagely pushed Hendery. "THAT'S WHAT YOU CARE ABOUT? YOUR THRONE? SO WHAT ARE WE, YOUR PLAYTHINGS? YOUR TOYS?" The prince fell onto the floor, but didn't even look Lucas in the eye.

"You shouldn't have fallen for a monster." "Fuck you." Lucas spat, glaring at the vampire. "Didn't you already?" Lucas could barely contain his anger at this point, but it was Dejun who stepped off the bed and slapped him.

Hendery didn't even wince, and just took the pain as Lucas pulled Dejun out of the infirmary. "I don't want to see you ever again." the giant spat, and they disappeared from his sight.

"Hendery, I'm-" Yuta was watching all this, and he honestly pitied the young prince. "Don't. I don't need you to feel sorry for me. I'll still go to school, I'd like to finish high school before I turn king."

Yuta nodded, sighing.

"Stay away from-"

"I will."
