The tension in the morgue rose as sudden as Minwoo's appearance. Even upstairs in the lobby, nurses frowned at each other, having a very bad feeling.478Please respect copyright.PENANAmYnfSOSvef
478Please respect copyright.PENANA1qeS4UbAbJ
"Who did you meet?" Dongwook asked very calm for how angry he really was. "Was it that young Dohwan?"478Please respect copyright.PENANAZeeEJo38Of
478Please respect copyright.PENANApKmeCnXEaN
"No. It was a man of different quality than us; a man who knew Yerin before she came to Asia." Minwoo replied meekly. "I didn't know what to do. I just- I-"478Please respect copyright.PENANATJKrSKAbfT
478Please respect copyright.PENANARW1hF24SI3
Dongwook waited patiently for the man to explain himself, even urging him to do so by raising an eyebrow. But Minwoo couldn't even remember why he gave out Yerin anymore. It was stupid and he was going to pay for his mistake.478Please respect copyright.PENANAITllnBxaKA
478Please respect copyright.PENANACulkWUB2h7
"I've been thrown from one miserable place to another for my whole life. I thought after Joon left me to rot under the sun, she will too when I won't be needed anymore."478Please respect copyright.PENANAM2Ro65tj7Q
478Please respect copyright.PENANAN42ZVErz6q
"For how long have you been thinking about this? A year? A month? A-"478Please respect copyright.PENANASw4TBXwOOW
478Please respect copyright.PENANA4J9DYBb6io
"Ever since she saved me. It's been 60 years..."
Hearing that, Dongwook's eyes flickered with hatred, feeling his canines threatening to grow at work. He had to grab the corpse table in order to calm himself down.478Please respect copyright.PENANA9JWO8DlCpL
478Please respect copyright.PENANAIhqiuX8Pso
"When did you tell them about her?"478Please respect copyright.PENANA2ykdaddlQj
478Please respect copyright.PENANA2g889Nr9PJ
"We were in Beijing when I saw him. We were visiting Jiwon's inheritor and I saw him. He was amazing. He was this character taken from fantasy movies or books with long golden locks and bright blue eyes. He was tall and imposing and very, very old." Minwoo explained, looking down at his fingers. "He grabbed my hand and I could feel this immense power run through me. It was like electricity slipping into my body and I felt it...for a brief moment, my eyes became red."478Please respect copyright.PENANAVAcWdIr5AK
478Please respect copyright.PENANAHFDgZRH3IV
Dongwook frowned.478Please respect copyright.PENANAX8zClzPT0T
478Please respect copyright.PENANAza5xOdzTdI
"Only original vampires have red eyes. If Erin's father is dead and his brothers are too, then-"478Please respect copyright.PENANA1YjSYdDk9S
478Please respect copyright.PENANAXX2cTr3oia
"Exactly. They're not dead. Her father is alive and this man I met, he's most definitely part of her family."
"So, I walk into my father's office and I see his secretary with a man. He was the general manager in pediatrics. I couldn't help but admire how brave they were to consume their relationship in there." Ji Soo told one of the very many affairs that took place in his father's hospital. Somehow, the listeners were really interested in what he had to say.
"Did your father kill them?" Asked one of the listeners, a young woman that looked like she barely graduated high school.478Please respect copyright.PENANAjM8NGtAlt3
478Please respect copyright.PENANAFQzA27mK5a
"No, though he did look like he wanted to. He fired both of them."478Please respect copyright.PENANAMVkz232MT6
478Please respect copyright.PENANATMxyvdRAmf
It strangely seemed like they were disappointed. Well, it didn't matter because Ji Soo had a lot of stories and the listeners seemed eager to hear more.478Please respect copyright.PENANAYG1GfusRXZ
478Please respect copyright.PENANA6fCjRMz32h
At the bar, a few feet from the table where Ji Soo was the main entertainment source, Seojoon and Jiwon were sighing.478Please respect copyright.PENANALCx8yVoDnx
478Please respect copyright.PENANAJZdROYfOBc
"I can't believe he doesn't feel anything wrong. He's surrounded by blood suckers yet he talks about affairs." Jiwon mumbled, frowning when she saw one hand crawl up Ji Soo's thigh.478Please respect copyright.PENANAuH8qrnzpmS
478Please respect copyright.PENANAfeOtKl47w8
"He's a big boy." Seojoon replied amused when he noticed the hand crawl upwards. By now even Ji Soo seemed to notice the position he was in.478Please respect copyright.PENANALBXkyZjVuy
478Please respect copyright.PENANAFTFLxwShfD
"He's a stupid human. Just wait until one of these suckers draw him out and-" she hissed and copied the movement that vampires do in most movies, as if they want to hover over you yet you stink thus they scrunch their noses in disgust.478Please respect copyright.PENANAfAyZzm7JWH
478Please respect copyright.PENANAiiNXX6AOQ4
Seojoon's eyes squinted, suppressing really loud laughter.478Please respect copyright.PENANApGaV93zDlc
478Please respect copyright.PENANA81pZunkcKj
"If you're so worried, you should just go there and claim him as yours."478Please respect copyright.PENANAltvb6t4eZ4
478Please respect copyright.PENANAAG0sELq5hx
If it wasn't already funny enough, hearing his last statement, Jiwon almost fell over her stool.478Please respect copyright.PENANAhEa3NGq40b
478Please respect copyright.PENANAUCxVLO84DK
"Are you insane? No. Let him walk out with whoever he wants."478Please respect copyright.PENANAgTq4d7J3DJ
478Please respect copyright.PENANA6VWDtcDx53
As if destiny was messing with her, it so happened that Ji Soo got up and walked towards the bar with a girl following close behind. Jiwon bit her lip, trying not to hiss at the young vampire. The human only had the bartender apron on and he quickly untied it before giving it to Seojoon.478Please respect copyright.PENANAdLi9BZ2FSM
478Please respect copyright.PENANA5MqwuIa4tj
"I'll take the rest of the night off. I don't have to officially work until Friday anyway, right?" He smiled coyly and waved at Jiwon before he grabbed the hand of the girl and left.478Please respect copyright.PENANASJTH9KB5Am
478Please respect copyright.PENANADSzo7Tvnvf
"He's going to get bitten." Jiwon assured her friend, "Just wait, tomorrow he'll return a different man." She added her eyes set on the front door.478Please respect copyright.PENANA1m4wl7Wc2A
478Please respect copyright.PENANA4vTSSA5jpN
"Maybe-"478Please respect copyright.PENANAGoAhM6myBF
478Please respect copyright.PENANAFpYzbbiKkJ
"I'll only do him a favor once." She interrupted before she literally zoomed out the door.478Please respect copyright.PENANAmUFgKV3xIt
478Please respect copyright.PENANAtM6TS3Achg
Seojoon shook his head and returned to preparing drinks, having quite a lot if vampires glance at him. It was uncomfortable but knowing that Liu Wei was in the back, made the younger vampire feel safer.
When Dongwook arrived home, he found the lights on and clothes thrown all around the living room. It was a mess and even the kitchen seemed used.478Please respect copyright.PENANA9J7XJoJL7x
478Please respect copyright.PENANAIuJHzwn2Nx
He found her in the bathroom; the door was wide open while she was standing crouched in the bathtub. He couldn't see her face but he could feel something was bugging her.478Please respect copyright.PENANAZzvx58o3In
478Please respect copyright.PENANAt2LoJHTSp1
Standing with her back at him, Dongwook could also see the mark. It was a tree with branches that seemed to grow into her skin, especially her spine. 478Please respect copyright.PENANAAKMECoJ8P7
478Please respect copyright.PENANAqUiXZAbNEr
"Yerin? Are you alright?" He asked walking closer to her. He was one step from bending behind her when he stopped and took a step back instead. "Yerin..."478Please respect copyright.PENANAYcX3eJqlCA
478Please respect copyright.PENANAM4gjVXNGLK
She was standing there with water falling over her head from the shower, gripping her knees close to her chest and staring at the tiles on the wall. It was scary to be honest; Dongwook had to think carefully how to move her inside the bedroom.478Please respect copyright.PENANA15cKUnasHo
478Please respect copyright.PENANACEDEnNUJ6H
"Is it the mark?" He asked just to be sure. She blinked once which he took as an approval. "Do you need blood?" 478Please respect copyright.PENANAjoHrgFYuhw
478Please respect copyright.PENANAunLdQTLguC
"No." She answered in an empty voice. She turned to look at Dongwook and that's when he saw it. "I ate already." 478Please respect copyright.PENANABLJQahHo79
478Please respect copyright.PENANAyVBFZ7gI1V
"I...can see that." 478Please respect copyright.PENANA2qrURaZmWU
478Please respect copyright.PENANAbW3s6Xv5ft
She probably washed up the blood on her body but still had a bit around her mouth. The smell from his bath lotion was so strong that it covered the smell of blood completely so he didn’t catch any suspicious smell when he arrived. 478Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8zDUaTJeM
478Please respect copyright.PENANAVrCNCVK3ET
"Did they come to you?" He asked and she nodded, "Did you kill them all?" Dobgwook asked already knowing the answer. 478Please respect copyright.PENANAxF1vTX18hU
478Please respect copyright.PENANAkAOkIMi4Oc
"It was a group of four fresh vampires..."478Please respect copyright.PENANAZr85G7RRtd
478Please respect copyright.PENANArTwiiKrKba
"Why did you kill them?"478Please respect copyright.PENANAEKWXqATkfG
478Please respect copyright.PENANAfePMTF8FLJ
"They said my father is alive. Even worse, he entrusted my cousin with taking me back. If not, he can kill me."
It was something he had done before. It was easy to lure a woman to his place, have fun for the night and wake up in the morning feeling content. What Ji Soo didn't consider was his newest conquest seeing him as more than a one night stand; as food, to be precise.478Please respect copyright.PENANA09DPznfQP7
478Please respect copyright.PENANAOjjd9AeNEn
"So want to take a taxi to my place or should we-" Ji Soo was shocked when the girl pulled him against the wall and kissed him. It was very fast and surprising but he liked it.478Please respect copyright.PENANAjADW9F4Dvq
478Please respect copyright.PENANAfvpGPfC20e
Giving in to her, they started to kiss more and more ardently to the point Ji Soo felt a knee groping his manhood.478Please respect copyright.PENANALNQ2Ti31Kn
478Please respect copyright.PENANARuo8EF9mLG
"No matter how much I enjoy this we should seriously get a room into a love hotel." He whispered breathing heavily.478Please respect copyright.PENANAoqxw03GE9F
478Please respect copyright.PENANA7OJWZ7DuD3
"You don't like this?" The girl asked innocently though her actions were anything but.478Please respect copyright.PENANAURGUUQPTBn
478Please respect copyright.PENANAUf71qNLwDF
"No! No, I do! But-" He didn't even finish when she kissed him again. "Really-what-if-someone-sees-us?" He asked through the pecks.478Please respect copyright.PENANAXKOefkZlar
478Please respect copyright.PENANAH3iQmYrNar
"No one will. Trust me. I'll take good care of you." She mumbled her eyes looking straight into his as she cornered him against the wall.478Please respect copyright.PENANASIdfyvqArs
478Please respect copyright.PENANAs2Gi07TQ01
In the spur of the moment, Ji Soo's mind went blank and he let himself led by lust. She was very pretty so the temptation to try and do something crazy with her was, well, tempting.478Please respect copyright.PENANArp7Ia1RjRI
478Please respect copyright.PENANAof5Or4JEkQ
While kissing and fumbling with each other's clothes, the girl succeeded in letting him shirtless. Ji Soo was not an ugly man and his body was well sculptured. He had every right to be self confident in a society where both men and women were objectified. What he didn't quite understand yet enjoyed anyway was how the girl started to kiss his neck and didn't return to his lips. He tried to catch her lips once or twice but she was avoiding it, concentrating on letting butterflies kisses on the crook of his neck.478Please respect copyright.PENANAisfxF3QhrB
478Please respect copyright.PENANARhCvPon2QF
It was pleasing but at the same time static. Of course that changed when he felt the tip of her tongue lick his soft spot. Unconsciously, he moaned which surprised him. She licked once more before she bit him lightly. It was new, to be sincere. She bit him again making him close his eyes in pleasure. He was fully enjoying it when someone slapped him hard against his face.478Please respect copyright.PENANA7sFDHyn2Tu
478Please respect copyright.PENANApcl4V3u15k
"What the-" He couldn't finish his sentence because he was witnessing some strange sight.478Please respect copyright.PENANAaA3EUrIDDf
478Please respect copyright.PENANABSD74YuJSB
"Wake up and see the world as it is." Jiwon advised, having her hand tight around the girl's neck.478Please respect copyright.PENANAgFx4vnCZdi
478Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ycf7GiuS4
"Are you out of your mind?! You're killing her!"478Please respect copyright.PENANANIw08caIXS
478Please respect copyright.PENANA7eMfc43j3X
Jiwon scoffed before forcing the girl's head towards the rich boy.478Please respect copyright.PENANAvK1JQWkBT8
478Please respect copyright.PENANAqgdkgnPiOt
"Look closely. Don't you see something strange?" She asked.478Please respect copyright.PENANA2B8BmLydVF
478Please respect copyright.PENANA2CDBCI1Zsr
Only then did he really look and he wished he didn't. In front of him was a thirsty creature with eyes narrowed and fangs. He gulped and took a step towards Jiwon, hiding behind her.478Please respect copyright.PENANA7dtsRX86gF
478Please respect copyright.PENANAZaOjUmvPin
"What's that?"478Please respect copyright.PENANAUPbd1awMjz
478Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8PHsQu013
"An immortal; you call it vampire." She explained, tightening her grip on the girl, "She obviously targeted you and planned to suck you dry."478Please respect copyright.PENANAnfFuqCL7tI
478Please respect copyright.PENANAT0AMxBAd3q
"Of my blood?" He asked his eyes widening at the revelation.478Please respect copyright.PENANA6CbadoARcH
478Please respect copyright.PENANAAc4qWDAC4a
"What else? Believe me she didn't fancy you at all."478Please respect copyright.PENANAiceKhyOsA2
478Please respect copyright.PENANAIE2zBw2ahX
The tone Jiwon used and the way she glanced at the man made him feel offended. He turned to the vampire and glared at her even if she did please him up to some point.478Please respect copyright.PENANAZqoaqWM99r
478Please respect copyright.PENANAEOKInn8SnT
"I manage my love life well, thank you very much," But the vampire chuckled, annoying him even more.478Please respect copyright.PENANA92oX8rG58x
478Please respect copyright.PENANAeceHMoSLkT
"You want me to kill her then?" Jiwon asked bemusedly.478Please respect copyright.PENANA8f1poaBW2x
478Please respect copyright.PENANAxcDJtsXAyI
"Yes. No, wait-" Too late because Jiwon already gripped her harder and plunger her available hand through the vampire's chest. "Oh my God, you ripped her heart out." Ji Soo had to say those words out loud in order to assure himself he wasn't insane.478Please respect copyright.PENANAS7Elp2v94Z
478Please respect copyright.PENANAD3HFnIxv9v
"Of course I did. How else would I have killed her? Gently squeezing her neck?" She retorted before she realized he was far more shaken than he sounded, "Do you want me to take you home?"478Please respect copyright.PENANAQIrZpsZlcp
478Please respect copyright.PENANASKFnohQEnX
Ji Soo thought about it for a moment before he nodded; to Hell with his manly pride after what he witnessed.
"So vampires are real." Ji Soo started once they walked inside his apartment.478Please respect copyright.PENANAYcnNybSCHm
478Please respect copyright.PENANA3EXidZEble
Really, he didn't lie when he said he has a lot of money. Jiwon believed him to be an extravagant man, but the place was tasteful in his simplicity.478Please respect copyright.PENANAhMwVX18voe
478Please respect copyright.PENANAcklksqrMKv
"Yes."478Please respect copyright.PENANADdtw4b7YIx
478Please respect copyright.PENANAu8Tn79tGAt
"And you are one too." He added.478Please respect copyright.PENANAmOHdDrq2vM
478Please respect copyright.PENANA9B9opuWTb8
"Obviously."478Please respect copyright.PENANANkDKPWe0Vj
478Please respect copyright.PENANArngzxU1kkE
Ji Soo nodded, his eyes showing just how quick his brain was to register that a subject many believed was fictional was actually very real.478Please respect copyright.PENANAGvrKwvv9OA
478Please respect copyright.PENANAOD2JXAnIT2
"And you kill people so that you can feed. You have fangs, red eyes and are afraid of sunlight."478Please respect copyright.PENANAu2actVRcZw
478Please respect copyright.PENANAIGzAaysFBv
"I am not afraid of the sun nor have red eyes. Only the original immortals have red eyes because they had direct contact to the source that created them." Jiwon explained, looking around at all the expensive objects around his living room.478Please respect copyright.PENANANO1iQQdMpT
478Please respect copyright.PENANAOZEDhBGF0l
"Which is Dracula?" Ji Soo was growing curious.478Please respect copyright.PENANAZM4UCTv4Xn
478Please respect copyright.PENANAUs5H7BPIYf
"No. Immortals have been created because they drank from the Blood Lake. The Blood Lake is a lake where many corpses were thrown after killed in the battle by Dracula." She explained when she saw Ji Soo's confused expression.478Please respect copyright.PENANADIyKWB3lxQ
478Please respect copyright.PENANARw0SIDOEcq
"I get it." He said as he started to change into his pyjamas. "So you only have fangs. Does that-does that mean the others know about vampires too or is it your secret?"478Please respect copyright.PENANAzX2VDAieFi
478Please respect copyright.PENANAtr9OYFdND6
Jiwon felt like laughing but did her best not to.478Please respect copyright.PENANAXfRi9WLz0j
478Please respect copyright.PENANAHxaZ4SIsUO
"Liu Wei, Park Seojoon and Park Minwoo. Why don't you search their names on SNS?"478Please respect copyright.PENANAcaD1rNQzQp
478Please respect copyright.PENANAz8nm3IDZ5D
Ji Soo grabbed his laptop quicker than when he was talking to girls online. He first typed Liu Wei and the page that appeared was short. Liu Wei was sentenced to death after he committed treason. Also, he worked under the emperor of the Quing Dynasty. Next were Seojoon and Minwoo, both born in the 18th century. One was a conman and one was a student but Minwoo died earlier, murdered in his own house.478Please respect copyright.PENANA6EWGiAF9cd
478Please respect copyright.PENANA2FjUYlrLWW
"They died. They are all dead."478Please respect copyright.PENANAuB6il6D8nr
478Please respect copyright.PENANAFT2bEh4PZr
"Or not." Jiwon pitched in, sitting on the black couch in his living room. It was very spacious for one man. "I died long before any of them as a slave in France."478Please respect copyright.PENANARxRExuccl4
478Please respect copyright.PENANAsc3Z1BhLaU
Ji Soo's eyes widened.478Please respect copyright.PENANAG4DLRjefFj
478Please respect copyright.PENANA4GfiQh9uxT
"Who-who changed you?"478Please respect copyright.PENANAdIRypnTQyU
478Please respect copyright.PENANABqz5vtYUN4
"Liu Wei and I, we've been changed by one of the original immortals. Seojoon was changed by Minwoo and Minwoo by the King of Thieves, Lee Joon." She replied nonchalantly, the subject being one of the most common in her point of view.478Please respect copyright.PENANArIaA9PP9i0
478Please respect copyright.PENANADRcWsdE4XQ
"Oh my God...that's insane. Wait, is that why your club has so few people? And why you mainly serve wine?"478Please respect copyright.PENANA8sF2V177tc
478Please respect copyright.PENANArMUX9TtMqn
"No. We bought the pub because we wanted to keep a low profile. Most of our clients are humans but ever since you came in, vampires came too."478Please respect copyright.PENANAeMfRl0Ajf4
478Please respect copyright.PENANAvoIFUEX6Hu
"So everyone was there tonight because of me?"478Please respect copyright.PENANAubq3GbvN0b
478Please respect copyright.PENANAPb4oWYegqt
"They smelled your blood yes. And we do mix wine with blood. We're old enough to know how to manage our blood supplies."478Please respect copyright.PENANAqkwpvzWAvP
478Please respect copyright.PENANAe8daIkLEwn
Jiwon watched how Ji Soo was taking the information in but not reacting accordingly.478Please respect copyright.PENANA6JrEpkPsRs
478Please respect copyright.PENANAGwnSkNcqft
"I...understand, I guess. Thanks for saving my life." He said, looking at her with genuine innocence. It took Jiwon by surprise, especially because he did look very attractive in that moment.478Please respect copyright.PENANAwhNxop2OQu
478Please respect copyright.PENANAOYoRgriF93
"You're welcome." She grumbled, trying to keep herself in check. It was hard with how strong Ji Soo smelled of pheromones. "You should take a shower and go to sleep. I'll tell Liu Wei that you won't stop by anymore."478Please respect copyright.PENANAEEW6XsCGeL
478Please respect copyright.PENANANXLyRr1E0N
Ji Soo never thought about that but now that she said it, it made him realize that everyone he befriended in the last few weeks were vampires. It was so surreal.478Please respect copyright.PENANATuVtpBE8Mu
478Please respect copyright.PENANAoyuIafTWNc
But nothing was said between the two. Jiwon watched the human enter his bathroom and waited for the water to turn on before she walked towards the door.478Please respect copyright.PENANAaWub3JpWx6
478Please respect copyright.PENANA6HuEv8VWCg
Inside, now naked and alone, Ji Soo closed his eyes and moved under the shower. He could still feel the vampire's hands and breath and how intoxicating she was. Then he couldn't help but remember the same girl with a look on her face that showed nothing but animalistic hunger. Realization was settling in and adrenaline was fading. The tremble started in his left hand before it went up and down his whole body. Steam was rising in the air and Ji Soo swore he heard something move behind him. He drew the door open but no one was there. He took one step out and looked in the mirror where he saw those hungry eyes and fangs. He screamed loudly, falling on his bottom against the wall.478Please respect copyright.PENANAQcumhdb7aQ
478Please respect copyright.PENANAlvXCKXle6j
"Ji Soo? Are you alright?" He heard Jiwon ask from behind the door. Meekly, he got up and opened the door, pulling her in by her hand.478Please respect copyright.PENANAnxHLTkcvVr
478Please respect copyright.PENANAEt13lyfT81
"I think-I think I'm scared. Can you-stay with me tonight?" He asked, gripping her hand tightly.478Please respect copyright.PENANAswaJuT3Pld
478Please respect copyright.PENANAD04qGOAXEk
Jiwon couldn't concentrate. The pheromones that Ji Soo was emanating were like kryptonite for her.478Please respect copyright.PENANAfq9vNY6dd6
478Please respect copyright.PENANAyl60Be0OU1
"You're naked. I'll just wait outside." she mumbled trying not to look down.478Please respect copyright.PENANAPskW5RRGis
478Please respect copyright.PENANA8TYU6h09BQ
But he didn't let her go; he pulled her in his arms, hugging her tightly.478Please respect copyright.PENANAs5b04ryyXc
478Please respect copyright.PENANANVJ3MXpSm3
"Why aren't you affected by my heart?" He asked close to her ear.478Please respect copyright.PENANAR4wIlFoOT0
478Please respect copyright.PENANAwSXxG5HbZF
"It's not your blood that affects me. Humans gain this strong smell when they are liked by a vampire." She mumbled in his chest.478Please respect copyright.PENANAPrynCcG4yX
478Please respect copyright.PENANAyMxtPr8PBm
"Do you like me?" He asked pushing her lightly and looking down at her. It was weird how she looked nothing like a vampire yet he saw her kill someone.478Please respect copyright.PENANASpWJ9fa0ey
478Please respect copyright.PENANAHSJHkYb0ti
"Let's talk about this when you'll have a clear mind. You look for some kind of affection right now and-"478Please respect copyright.PENANAUlAfCAGg8H
478Please respect copyright.PENANANAzU9ej0Nh
Jiwon's eyes widened when Ji Soo kissed her. His smell was so strong as he pushed her against the wall that she could feel her legs give in. The human helped Jiwon by scooping her into his arms and continued kissing her. Unlike the other vampire, Jiwon seemed gentle and genuine. It wasn't just sex for her, it was so much more.
