Bite Me (Jake Sim x Reader)

When I was younger, I would binge-watch dramas that involved business-arranged marriages. I was big into romance during my early and mid-teens.

I always loved the cliche tropes of the wealthy CEO or CEO's son marrying a woman who's the daughter of the company's rival or an employee who'd secretly had a prosperous grandfather. The man and the woman hate each other's guts during the first meeting, but as time passes, they slowly catch feelings and marry in love.

Though I enjoyed watching it, I never wanted to be involved in a marriage like that. Mom and Dad were in love with each other before they got married, meeting in medical school, and both sides of the family agreed to the union. That was the type of love I wanted. Yes, I already graduated, but my guy could be walking across the street now.

I did not expect my marriage announcement today.

The office was gravely silent. I was so shocked that I couldn't move a muscle. I peeked over at Jake as his eyes widened. Yes, he was shocked like I was.

Kihun, on the other hand, reacted strongly for both of us. He abruptly arose from his seat, the chair going back and forth behind him, trying to fix its balance. His palms slammed face down on the desk."Are you kidding me?" he exclaimed. "Why are you forcing Y/n and Jake into this marriage, Dad? Jake isn't a good match for her!"

I expected Jake to make a snarky remark, but to my surprise, he stayed quiet. "Calm down, Kihun," warned the president. "You know what would happen if you don't keep calm."

"I know what would happen! That's why I'm asking you why Y/n is getting married to Jake before it does!"

Nakan sighed. "It's an agreement between two families."

"Plenty of other families are out there, not just the Yangs! And how come Jake is getting into an arranged marriage before I? Aren't I the oldest?"

"I'm aware, but I can't say why right now."Kihun moved his hands to his side, turning them into fists, clenching and unclenching in anger. The books behind Nakan fell off the shelf, creating loud thumps on the floor. A picture frame soon came with them.

"Ki, I think you need to go out and get some air," said Jake, placing a hand on his arm. Kihun sighed, closing his eyes and pushing off Jake's hand. He turned around and exited the office, slamming the door behind him.

"Y/n, can you go talk to him?" asked Nakan. "I would call his mom here since she probably feels his emotions, but I know he listens to you."

"I will, sir," I nodded."Thank you so much."I didn't have to go far, thankfully. Kihun was sitting on one of the couches in the lobby, staring out the window. I came up behind him, but it was like he completely ignored my presence altogether. His eyes quickly glanced at me before going back to the window. "Kihun?" I said quietly, sitting beside him. "Are you calm enough to talk?"

"Ha, I guess," he sighed, turning to me. "I'm sorry I blew up in there and scared you. Just the thought of you marrying my younger brother irks something inside of me. I can't explain why."

"It's alright."There was a tiny pause before I continued again. "So...does everything move by your vampire powers when you get mad?"

"Pretty much," said Kihun. "It's telekinesis. Everyone in my family has some power that flares up when we get irritated. As you saw when we arrived, Dad can create and build pressure around our bodies."

"What about your Mom's and Jake's?"

"Mom doesn't get mad often, so I don't remember her powers. Jake's—well, I'll let him tell you when he decides to."I hummed, leaning on Kihun's shoulder. I'm glad he was better for now. "Welp, are you ready to go back inside?" I asked.

"Yeah. I can't huff and puff forever," replied Kihun. "Plus, Dad probably has more to talk about."When we arrived back at the president's office, Nakan welcomed us with a pleasant smile. "Thank you so much, Y/n," he said as I sat down. "See when I mean when I said Kihun listens to you?" "Oh, you're welcome," I nodded. Kihun's face grew red, and Jake snickered, earning a look from the older brother.

"Wonderful. While the two of you were gone, we had discussed what would happen soon," Nakan continued. "Eventually, the two families will meet for a meal, and we will formally announce the union between Y/n and Jake. All I will add after that is don't tell Jungwon about us being vampires."

"Huh? Don't tell Jungwon?" I said. "How come? Wouldn't it make sense to tell him since I already know?"

"Not exactly," Dad stepped in. "You know how your brother is, Y/n. Once you tell him big news, he won't be able to digest it until weeks later. We don't want him to know about Kihun being a vampire, so he'll feel comfortable around him before we tell him."Ah, so it has to do with Kihun. One sibling discovered a separate sibling's secret; it would be a catastrophe if Jungwon knew about Kihun."I'll keep acting normal around him," said Kihun. "He won't know about me being a vampire for a while."

"Good. I know you'll remember to take your suppressants," said Nakan.

"Again, with the suppressants! I said I forgot today!" exclaimed Jake.

"And we wouldn't be sitting here today if you hadn't! Anyway, we'll discuss details about the marriage at the future family dinner. Everyone, you are dismissed."

The Sim Brothers and I got up and walked out of the office, going down the elevators back to our perspective floors. As the doors to the pediatrician unit opened, Kihun turned to me. "Don't worry, Y/n, I'll make sure Jungwon won't find out about us being vampires," he smiled. "You won't have to stress. I know how much a worrywart Jungwon is."

"Thanks, Kihun, that means a lot," I said. "I don't want to feel the wrath of your dad if he does."

"Oh, please, he won't do anything," scoffed Jake. "As long as we take our pill, we are good."

Kihun stepped onto his floor and waved as the doors closed. It was just Jake and I silently going up until the doors opened to the blood unit.

"Hey, uh, I'm sorry if I scared you earlier," he said as we came out. "I'll try to keep myself controlled from now on."

"Oh, don't worry," I said. "You didn't scare me much, to be honest. I'll even offer you some of my blood if needed."

I stopped in my tracks when I realized what I had said. The temperature on my face grew hot, and Jake laughed. "Thank you, Y/n. I'll keep that in mind. Have a great rest of the day at work."

"Y-you too!"I quickly ran to the pharmacy office and closed the door, fanning my face. Bora was there, looking up from her computer with a puzzled look. "Is everything alright? You looked like you ran a marathon or something.

"I chuckled. "I just had a long walk, that's all."
