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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAxPUpgjIzNC
561Please respect copyright.PENANAAkb3DdqBnp
"Who did you meet?" Dongwook asked very calm for how angry he really was. "Was it that young Dohwan?"561Please respect copyright.PENANAbyM1yn5Kv1
561Please respect copyright.PENANA9cMQwQMqRM
"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-"561Please respect copyright.PENANAOYw8GkKXGc
561Please respect copyright.PENANASntlktjfKh
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAXP6v3eNdst
561Please respect copyright.PENANAnnTQbd2XEn
"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."561Please respect copyright.PENANA3HHxTjvvSs
561Please respect copyright.PENANAHBN48AnkdP
"For how long have you been thinking about this? A year? A month? A-"561Please respect copyright.PENANASfk5HA8vrh
561Please respect copyright.PENANAN8r7eMVqkg
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAqDcfsCEbgC
561Please respect copyright.PENANAv7U9TDjmIX
"When did you tell them about her?"561Please respect copyright.PENANA1PnqxVFQ9V
561Please respect copyright.PENANAtWPfbIwSCn
"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."561Please respect copyright.PENANAFGasMVSPo9
561Please respect copyright.PENANArGOT8XGdTE
Dongwook frowned.561Please respect copyright.PENANAFvp9vMu3KD
561Please respect copyright.PENANAtsFA6kYTLg
"Only original vampires have red eyes. If Erin's father is dead and his brothers are too, then-"561Please respect copyright.PENANA4BCKYeiw2P
561Please respect copyright.PENANAUZUvzOywXE
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAfKJ1MdRhew
561Please respect copyright.PENANA7h1MVYbjdf
"No, though he did look like he wanted to. He fired both of them."561Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ak986XUln
561Please respect copyright.PENANAmHyob2KmCc
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAuxczQg3As1
561Please respect copyright.PENANA32Eiqf7vgE
At the bar, a few feet from the table where Ji Soo was the main entertainment source, Seojoon and Jiwon were sighing.561Please respect copyright.PENANAwWX7VqJULr
561Please respect copyright.PENANAWMdyNcm6b0
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAyy0kwf4Qv7
561Please respect copyright.PENANAdiXbqzOJuh
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAp1d3WIzkvc
561Please respect copyright.PENANAkhGhizOQYe
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAvhJPSemNoE
561Please respect copyright.PENANAKHz9uyL8Rf
Seojoon's eyes squinted, suppressing really loud laughter.561Please respect copyright.PENANAbIwBeAR10h
561Please respect copyright.PENANAdn5vgGeMf2
"If you're so worried, you should just go there and claim him as yours."561Please respect copyright.PENANA7292DOPJkt
561Please respect copyright.PENANAenMrGEh7pE
If it wasn't already funny enough, hearing his last statement, Jiwon almost fell over her stool.561Please respect copyright.PENANAEBko587NIl
561Please respect copyright.PENANAYJxBe4vEHI
"Are you insane? No. Let him walk out with whoever he wants."561Please respect copyright.PENANAwwvwISUaK4
561Please respect copyright.PENANAy554ZMUKsi
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAOwvYgRNN5E
561Please respect copyright.PENANAMLosB9beqo
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANA8ijLFm1TUv
561Please respect copyright.PENANAyaQjeTsLhf
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAJtXaGn1qHz
561Please respect copyright.PENANABUnjVry8H3
"Maybe-"561Please respect copyright.PENANAhU3kYFzjwR
561Please respect copyright.PENANAncikS9GRtM
"I'll only do him a favor once." She interrupted before she literally zoomed out the door.561Please respect copyright.PENANAABSEG1hYpG
561Please respect copyright.PENANATYUiPBugRu
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAmq0DdKkw4m
561Please respect copyright.PENANAYWDeUbd7Yu
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAJp7P9vMo70
561Please respect copyright.PENANAnAqMboTGuo
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. 561Please respect copyright.PENANAqYWcrZeJQ0
561Please respect copyright.PENANA1WFNjFg3OS
"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..."561Please respect copyright.PENANAz8ZEM70bqn
561Please respect copyright.PENANAcBOACDphj2
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAsctXmZcAt2
561Please respect copyright.PENANApLxr7or6lk
"Is it the mark?" He asked just to be sure. She blinked once which he took as an approval. "Do you need blood?" 561Please respect copyright.PENANAscrW7jD1mb
561Please respect copyright.PENANAVZoqsjLlxF
"No." She answered in an empty voice. She turned to look at Dongwook and that's when he saw it. "I ate already." 561Please respect copyright.PENANAzRWTLoUdRR
561Please respect copyright.PENANA0t6xK6N296
"I...can see that." 561Please respect copyright.PENANAdE7aq7ilgG
561Please respect copyright.PENANAdIPRHC36Hm
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. 561Please respect copyright.PENANAxb6oFTFkkg
561Please respect copyright.PENANA66zsYcTPWf
"Did they come to you?" He asked and she nodded, "Did you kill them all?" Dobgwook asked already knowing the answer. 561Please respect copyright.PENANAwAS8FrWwqt
561Please respect copyright.PENANAVnnZQSX9lK
"It was a group of four fresh vampires..."561Please respect copyright.PENANArZH7CTxdhq
561Please respect copyright.PENANA4SpHKFxFMf
"Why did you kill them?"561Please respect copyright.PENANA9IetMcIMn7
561Please respect copyright.PENANA2kBY9NC5BF
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAbp7hATGpjv
561Please respect copyright.PENANAgwTM4Lsv32
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAbHPQPmD6pY
561Please respect copyright.PENANA7QVIYUBlhv
Giving in to her, they started to kiss more and more ardently to the point Ji Soo felt a knee groping his manhood.561Please respect copyright.PENANAMTkFKdLsxb
561Please respect copyright.PENANAjaAHDdsjgX
"No matter how much I enjoy this we should seriously get a room into a love hotel." He whispered breathing heavily.561Please respect copyright.PENANACVHNMqbdEg
561Please respect copyright.PENANAXHgDX1x6Uy
"You don't like this?" The girl asked innocently though her actions were anything but.561Please respect copyright.PENANA5qlJdAwQdF
561Please respect copyright.PENANAMS4ZO92m3B
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAn1agJgCM9w
561Please respect copyright.PENANAhypmkUwt5l
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAkPuLf2EsGl
561Please respect copyright.PENANAu6pcBz7WeO
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAu2HkcqjhV1
561Please respect copyright.PENANA8WZoELcSuI
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAa1CezS8iuz
561Please respect copyright.PENANAoozxfGIPjh
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANA6IUgE3fmjz
561Please respect copyright.PENANAIc1WyTHR2h
"What the-" He couldn't finish his sentence because he was witnessing some strange sight.561Please respect copyright.PENANATOUYA4Taqg
561Please respect copyright.PENANAVQUOo4ZQ3e
"Wake up and see the world as it is." Jiwon advised, having her hand tight around the girl's neck.561Please respect copyright.PENANAsUlhHavENl
561Please respect copyright.PENANAUC5QG2Ei4V
"Are you out of your mind?! You're killing her!"561Please respect copyright.PENANAuWhSVqHEjs
561Please respect copyright.PENANALSRVLXsZEy
Jiwon scoffed before forcing the girl's head towards the rich boy.561Please respect copyright.PENANAPNUezCttu1
561Please respect copyright.PENANAGBt8y015kZ
"Look closely. Don't you see something strange?" She asked.561Please respect copyright.PENANAaUoJGaJ2vf
561Please respect copyright.PENANAANw7SiHGDe
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANA0GjfUYjYOF
561Please respect copyright.PENANA31obbwWVZv
"What's that?"561Please respect copyright.PENANAAIYWfdDyry
561Please respect copyright.PENANATZVBTAqnqo
"An immortal; you call it vampire." She explained, tightening her grip on the girl, "She obviously targeted you and planned to suck you dry."561Please respect copyright.PENANA1tP7F0uvHm
561Please respect copyright.PENANAENvdDVkk5G
"Of my blood?" He asked his eyes widening at the revelation.561Please respect copyright.PENANAfCgxzxISM5
561Please respect copyright.PENANATJ2RRu0QPC
"What else? Believe me she didn't fancy you at all."561Please respect copyright.PENANAe8FmUatJ8A
561Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9Q4qGcbvG
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAZkAdegNthJ
561Please respect copyright.PENANATfJPxjt2AK
"I manage my love life well, thank you very much," But the vampire chuckled, annoying him even more.561Please respect copyright.PENANAyG6opT0Hwe
561Please respect copyright.PENANACGTtaFOv2Q
"You want me to kill her then?" Jiwon asked bemusedly.561Please respect copyright.PENANAnIj8gc9KY1
561Please respect copyright.PENANA9tZSVlXuvu
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAu9ABd3227M
561Please respect copyright.PENANACkLtKKSM3K
"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?"561Please respect copyright.PENANA27WDJjGFtR
561Please respect copyright.PENANAJhTXdqtsDw
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAgdbGbQGKQy
561Please respect copyright.PENANArMRausYKyN
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAmdojEkGaRF
561Please respect copyright.PENANA1LfXPtQa0i
"Yes."561Please respect copyright.PENANAjOxei23bAC
561Please respect copyright.PENANAL1WMEddSEu
"And you are one too." He added.561Please respect copyright.PENANAU0ZrOwVzBU
561Please respect copyright.PENANAldphEDZfev
"Obviously."561Please respect copyright.PENANAJDxDtsuAlp
561Please respect copyright.PENANADoflMWrySP
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAj97r3ZkdXh
561Please respect copyright.PENANAyuNgNkrs0i
"And you kill people so that you can feed. You have fangs, red eyes and are afraid of sunlight."561Please respect copyright.PENANAZD4pr3Y2jQ
561Please respect copyright.PENANA86qjJxPEdo
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAcjd1UfBS3C
561Please respect copyright.PENANAOs4SmLet5m
"Which is Dracula?" Ji Soo was growing curious.561Please respect copyright.PENANA6tct351jiA
561Please respect copyright.PENANAiD3T06nqrG
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAkyC4EBaz1U
561Please respect copyright.PENANAEN89X6SuiT
"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?"561Please respect copyright.PENANARfHJ2hahUR
561Please respect copyright.PENANARzmHZxWlXE
Jiwon felt like laughing but did her best not to.561Please respect copyright.PENANATRtb0U4mqx
561Please respect copyright.PENANAQAqHYtBsCo
"Liu Wei, Park Seojoon and Park Minwoo. Why don't you search their names on SNS?"561Please respect copyright.PENANAfyFHwm49MQ
561Please respect copyright.PENANAKbcbso0bhG
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAoTsRHj2vo5
561Please respect copyright.PENANAD4yuzo6YSz
"They died. They are all dead."561Please respect copyright.PENANAAqb13qtXHv
561Please respect copyright.PENANAO6WQA9ewRS
"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."561Please respect copyright.PENANAMd0HNsJcmC
561Please respect copyright.PENANAcbYrWHYd7O
Ji Soo's eyes widened.561Please respect copyright.PENANArN0QS5IqlD
561Please respect copyright.PENANAgspSRrJWmf
"Who-who changed you?"561Please respect copyright.PENANAyW7Sii6CUL
561Please respect copyright.PENANAhTf0aJLzLg
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAz7zhi77z6k
561Please respect copyright.PENANAExgDNo25Ke
"Oh my God...that's insane. Wait, is that why your club has so few people? And why you mainly serve wine?"561Please respect copyright.PENANAbTp1bX9SEi
561Please respect copyright.PENANAr1vODYy9UQ
"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."561Please respect copyright.PENANAFheOOWjL3d
561Please respect copyright.PENANAGmDAAxhOLd
"So everyone was there tonight because of me?"561Please respect copyright.PENANApYTX721xGp
561Please respect copyright.PENANAVAPMI2Om9j
"They smelled your blood yes. And we do mix wine with blood. We're old enough to know how to manage our blood supplies."561Please respect copyright.PENANA4vNnfdGmCg
561Please respect copyright.PENANA4YwNWGe2Lm
Jiwon watched how Ji Soo was taking the information in but not reacting accordingly.561Please respect copyright.PENANA8oq3MMWJNs
561Please respect copyright.PENANACiikzDkuzl
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAjbI1GoAQLv
561Please respect copyright.PENANAFJsct60NIb
"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."561Please respect copyright.PENANAdYEuaJdfH1
561Please respect copyright.PENANAlPIXjv31tE
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAW2bv1PWOAx
561Please respect copyright.PENANArIE1ZdQ7mr
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAgkiQfABYkb
561Please respect copyright.PENANAerewLmpm73
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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAPGseDs19fZ
561Please respect copyright.PENANARCp1hrEaym
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAGyfrlNlZPz
561Please respect copyright.PENANAlCFjXJXlKK
"I think-I think I'm scared. Can you-stay with me tonight?" He asked, gripping her hand tightly.561Please respect copyright.PENANACtfP4peBZd
561Please respect copyright.PENANAZa6zr3elCS
Jiwon couldn't concentrate. The pheromones that Ji Soo was emanating were like kryptonite for her.561Please respect copyright.PENANAMeXntjSQLB
561Please respect copyright.PENANAvQOqvkwjyn
"You're naked. I'll just wait outside." she mumbled trying not to look down.561Please respect copyright.PENANAP6d30S6HEA
561Please respect copyright.PENANAlHeeZJQtef
But he didn't let her go; he pulled her in his arms, hugging her tightly.561Please respect copyright.PENANA7tbDC8mity
561Please respect copyright.PENANA6aEvikwXG8
"Why aren't you affected by my heart?" He asked close to her ear.561Please respect copyright.PENANAh84r9oPoqM
561Please respect copyright.PENANAa5hQMBNQab
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANAVkfvRDJVKt
561Please respect copyright.PENANAyUGLt7mhPH
"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.561Please respect copyright.PENANA3m6rObtpbe
561Please respect copyright.PENANApZ4jGPfgXh
"Let's talk about this when you'll have a clear mind. You look for some kind of affection right now and-"561Please respect copyright.PENANAYQdopLcLqk
561Please respect copyright.PENANAu2gYJpTIv5
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.
