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.564Please respect copyright.PENANASKjWiJ06JK
564Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ8SRwxrEu
"Who did you meet?" Dongwook asked very calm for how angry he really was. "Was it that young Dohwan?"564Please respect copyright.PENANAVk4OB9Tq0D
564Please respect copyright.PENANAo3FNVIOMXD
"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-"564Please respect copyright.PENANABzxKBASLb8
564Please respect copyright.PENANALDgZJoOZGx
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAgU6H2LdyaO
564Please respect copyright.PENANAAUjrPbVM5k
"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."564Please respect copyright.PENANAoIHI1Ng7Qw
564Please respect copyright.PENANAY0Hc9otXlv
"For how long have you been thinking about this? A year? A month? A-"564Please respect copyright.PENANAylvvHnWVWP
564Please respect copyright.PENANAEzxcXcVTOZ
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAZLhUAPePM7
564Please respect copyright.PENANA7C1TEdo2iT
"When did you tell them about her?"564Please respect copyright.PENANAj0uxLIESEr
564Please respect copyright.PENANA3YpOSlsQEP
"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."564Please respect copyright.PENANA4cclr1mA5g
564Please respect copyright.PENANAhGdZTQrs1G
Dongwook frowned.564Please respect copyright.PENANAXSj9paClfr
564Please respect copyright.PENANAQvQttRKN4W
"Only original vampires have red eyes. If Erin's father is dead and his brothers are too, then-"564Please respect copyright.PENANA1MbhlaBkqd
564Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZtVDxCHuy
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANALQXflknHQ9
564Please respect copyright.PENANAmelPXoxf3F
"No, though he did look like he wanted to. He fired both of them."564Please respect copyright.PENANAetMDGcReuV
564Please respect copyright.PENANAMTflnj5G3g
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAmXVAglWKRP
564Please respect copyright.PENANAZUHgSjoj7B
At the bar, a few feet from the table where Ji Soo was the main entertainment source, Seojoon and Jiwon were sighing.564Please respect copyright.PENANA5i1OqPe51E
564Please respect copyright.PENANAy975brW0rR
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANATjhlfHvF6s
564Please respect copyright.PENANAmNjyeOBbsS
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANArK57w4Gv1D
564Please respect copyright.PENANAp3myUGTrk6
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAV5ROGKu9Gw
564Please respect copyright.PENANAhjts1dxBsu
Seojoon's eyes squinted, suppressing really loud laughter.564Please respect copyright.PENANACpCx0FQDVI
564Please respect copyright.PENANARoR5l4yntc
"If you're so worried, you should just go there and claim him as yours."564Please respect copyright.PENANAMy6kFH7H39
564Please respect copyright.PENANA0oMfMOVXET
If it wasn't already funny enough, hearing his last statement, Jiwon almost fell over her stool.564Please respect copyright.PENANAr2KaZY1olx
564Please respect copyright.PENANABjbWCyVEc3
"Are you insane? No. Let him walk out with whoever he wants."564Please respect copyright.PENANAFShmQvrC8d
564Please respect copyright.PENANARUnUcQu80s
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANA3uXPLcAlNP
564Please respect copyright.PENANAjZusJsZ52J
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANA4svXHBR2eC
564Please respect copyright.PENANAcHgRHRkYe8
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANA8CHryPiJzE
564Please respect copyright.PENANAnTEP22E5Kf
"Maybe-"564Please respect copyright.PENANAsu58lstaoz
564Please respect copyright.PENANA46hLkmO8hf
"I'll only do him a favor once." She interrupted before she literally zoomed out the door.564Please respect copyright.PENANA20nuIrRZ7K
564Please respect copyright.PENANAKCCKM9Y0e2
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAnph6MpiqVw
564Please respect copyright.PENANAO51XmOjHZo
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAyGPviYPQGg
564Please respect copyright.PENANAGcERe19XO9
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. 564Please respect copyright.PENANAI0KMnlfo8f
564Please respect copyright.PENANADwCidEUCAq
"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..."564Please respect copyright.PENANATh4UHStseN
564Please respect copyright.PENANAGIRgfJ1Aoi
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAnJLsdb2fp8
564Please respect copyright.PENANAplZ4LMcjxN
"Is it the mark?" He asked just to be sure. She blinked once which he took as an approval. "Do you need blood?" 564Please respect copyright.PENANApp5vgl2zvJ
564Please respect copyright.PENANAlVlerS0TPo
"No." She answered in an empty voice. She turned to look at Dongwook and that's when he saw it. "I ate already." 564Please respect copyright.PENANAo2BVym0BL1
564Please respect copyright.PENANAGYwJ4uTT0d
"I...can see that." 564Please respect copyright.PENANAyiC0e6wM8J
564Please respect copyright.PENANAM7n1crQpTo
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. 564Please respect copyright.PENANAeotpAUrjvq
564Please respect copyright.PENANAKxi4uzQzND
"Did they come to you?" He asked and she nodded, "Did you kill them all?" Dobgwook asked already knowing the answer. 564Please respect copyright.PENANAyjciPya3bf
564Please respect copyright.PENANAwcREc6PUC5
"It was a group of four fresh vampires..."564Please respect copyright.PENANAMsrCkpHZZV
564Please respect copyright.PENANAC3qJLIwt6C
"Why did you kill them?"564Please respect copyright.PENANA5vpBfURimS
564Please respect copyright.PENANAVGIvI1K924
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANA6DKVbcJq26
564Please respect copyright.PENANAlmbI0sDOL0
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAxAVjilod9D
564Please respect copyright.PENANAUXhzPMrxwo
Giving in to her, they started to kiss more and more ardently to the point Ji Soo felt a knee groping his manhood.564Please respect copyright.PENANAblUL5ENz3y
564Please respect copyright.PENANApTnxqi3jau
"No matter how much I enjoy this we should seriously get a room into a love hotel." He whispered breathing heavily.564Please respect copyright.PENANAf5DZnHcIrU
564Please respect copyright.PENANAyfN7geP8j5
"You don't like this?" The girl asked innocently though her actions were anything but.564Please respect copyright.PENANAMidiVjEArM
564Please respect copyright.PENANAakCSd58TYc
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANATUgvHuxOHq
564Please respect copyright.PENANArC4Z5oo0Yc
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAUzuiYol2iq
564Please respect copyright.PENANALAVRzq6HYA
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANA7cWOgTWpDI
564Please respect copyright.PENANA9ujH22BfRz
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANA0qXEbq9uME
564Please respect copyright.PENANA1k6o1SR6rQ
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAgwNOSHodu1
564Please respect copyright.PENANAmzwX8945VN
"What the-" He couldn't finish his sentence because he was witnessing some strange sight.564Please respect copyright.PENANAkceacdNfFd
564Please respect copyright.PENANAbP1iGQLj2f
"Wake up and see the world as it is." Jiwon advised, having her hand tight around the girl's neck.564Please respect copyright.PENANABlfqeuAbD7
564Please respect copyright.PENANAOEUGj1ognL
"Are you out of your mind?! You're killing her!"564Please respect copyright.PENANAsFsohnlZV4
564Please respect copyright.PENANAtq1hC9d6ZN
Jiwon scoffed before forcing the girl's head towards the rich boy.564Please respect copyright.PENANAtYSROnDN0l
564Please respect copyright.PENANAT3p4epl1Oi
"Look closely. Don't you see something strange?" She asked.564Please respect copyright.PENANAJDSTrrqdaF
564Please respect copyright.PENANA6d847CxcLc
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANA65yf7LUr7H
564Please respect copyright.PENANAekdjBnLt73
"What's that?"564Please respect copyright.PENANAmgo5622SVL
564Please respect copyright.PENANA6OKrwEnWqD
"An immortal; you call it vampire." She explained, tightening her grip on the girl, "She obviously targeted you and planned to suck you dry."564Please respect copyright.PENANAZcBlufQ8qU
564Please respect copyright.PENANA71P7wYewEQ
"Of my blood?" He asked his eyes widening at the revelation.564Please respect copyright.PENANAfS96JEeDq0
564Please respect copyright.PENANANjkuTFZmc2
"What else? Believe me she didn't fancy you at all."564Please respect copyright.PENANA92eTL332Z8
564Please respect copyright.PENANAKLO2X0GuVH
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAXLPD78ZoUs
564Please respect copyright.PENANAhXi1SgjwuS
"I manage my love life well, thank you very much," But the vampire chuckled, annoying him even more.564Please respect copyright.PENANArUsQF1azXo
564Please respect copyright.PENANA4aEB7s0UbI
"You want me to kill her then?" Jiwon asked bemusedly.564Please respect copyright.PENANAqzYK3oBlDM
564Please respect copyright.PENANAdJEoBeYHhS
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAdCOZRScrNC
564Please respect copyright.PENANACv4A00dtif
"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?"564Please respect copyright.PENANAPZBoqywOhN
564Please respect copyright.PENANAzT3TLev03B
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAaPZi7ZF5SU
564Please respect copyright.PENANABOVCFQYAVz
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAxepYLBTIMX
564Please respect copyright.PENANAFTQkdvXSJH
"Yes."564Please respect copyright.PENANAkPbxWYhoox
564Please respect copyright.PENANArwEET1itmI
"And you are one too." He added.564Please respect copyright.PENANAFwAt91XLZU
564Please respect copyright.PENANASwx6Z2g3Pw
"Obviously."564Please respect copyright.PENANA6lOnT430AE
564Please respect copyright.PENANAYPCukRUABB
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAmTn9wXKkBQ
564Please respect copyright.PENANAd7JFCbZHYn
"And you kill people so that you can feed. You have fangs, red eyes and are afraid of sunlight."564Please respect copyright.PENANApEWHKhJkeJ
564Please respect copyright.PENANAnT9relnIgC
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANA7nDIjMBFC7
564Please respect copyright.PENANA8U2X4s9y3v
"Which is Dracula?" Ji Soo was growing curious.564Please respect copyright.PENANAhRKo0hlU7I
564Please respect copyright.PENANAIHmBG9tyvL
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAXVr0Sj9z6U
564Please respect copyright.PENANAJWBHfnnSGB
"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?"564Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZGNZfXgzt
564Please respect copyright.PENANARNWkbDBvEu
Jiwon felt like laughing but did her best not to.564Please respect copyright.PENANAWMFTk4Swsg
564Please respect copyright.PENANAN6lsj9j6xN
"Liu Wei, Park Seojoon and Park Minwoo. Why don't you search their names on SNS?"564Please respect copyright.PENANAk9oVnpZOOZ
564Please respect copyright.PENANAAinyD4GKBu
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAnct7wmFF9e
564Please respect copyright.PENANAFeU3Yy2cl0
"They died. They are all dead."564Please respect copyright.PENANAsTDmDNCCF7
564Please respect copyright.PENANAdswgiOxWPQ
"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."564Please respect copyright.PENANAQe9DtehyUl
564Please respect copyright.PENANAUUUedejSvc
Ji Soo's eyes widened.564Please respect copyright.PENANAmIWLZwzTI2
564Please respect copyright.PENANARLG8F3iC1b
"Who-who changed you?"564Please respect copyright.PENANAz6tFVIVWc6
564Please respect copyright.PENANAW3lyhcl3PD
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAsy9GK8o95v
564Please respect copyright.PENANActQ0ePrkdt
"Oh my God...that's insane. Wait, is that why your club has so few people? And why you mainly serve wine?"564Please respect copyright.PENANAgRn7uGggu3
564Please respect copyright.PENANAAwd9Ec9Jdp
"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."564Please respect copyright.PENANAQOYfqOheFc
564Please respect copyright.PENANA5EUEX7U38Q
"So everyone was there tonight because of me?"564Please respect copyright.PENANA6owGNCSZpe
564Please respect copyright.PENANANRctuo7fOU
"They smelled your blood yes. And we do mix wine with blood. We're old enough to know how to manage our blood supplies."564Please respect copyright.PENANAglUWGb9r3o
564Please respect copyright.PENANAbh4nEQQuUG
Jiwon watched how Ji Soo was taking the information in but not reacting accordingly.564Please respect copyright.PENANA3me3Rf1xB1
564Please respect copyright.PENANAVXjHDdZoP8
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAqIOytITdPy
564Please respect copyright.PENANAa99B3o3hU2
"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."564Please respect copyright.PENANANKFr8vVMGu
564Please respect copyright.PENANAkuPlTMNZRL
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAGYTDnAKuJj
564Please respect copyright.PENANA0cz9S2Ozm9
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAi8HW4rabj5
564Please respect copyright.PENANATvQuUFglYN
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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAjPYMYV1Bcc
564Please respect copyright.PENANAdyvqYdnlQj
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAduHeyT9gen
564Please respect copyright.PENANAfEax2V1glR
"I think-I think I'm scared. Can you-stay with me tonight?" He asked, gripping her hand tightly.564Please respect copyright.PENANAegowUnHyhn
564Please respect copyright.PENANA79JCrZASC0
Jiwon couldn't concentrate. The pheromones that Ji Soo was emanating were like kryptonite for her.564Please respect copyright.PENANAYDwRvOU3rX
564Please respect copyright.PENANAGdQ0jL1jA8
"You're naked. I'll just wait outside." she mumbled trying not to look down.564Please respect copyright.PENANAtR0afGblxY
564Please respect copyright.PENANAdLZWzsnoMt
But he didn't let her go; he pulled her in his arms, hugging her tightly.564Please respect copyright.PENANACbMlZ7twZy
564Please respect copyright.PENANAzPn241HHNz
"Why aren't you affected by my heart?" He asked close to her ear.564Please respect copyright.PENANApGthXUz6Q3
564Please respect copyright.PENANAju1nLJN9Qn
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAJQkdJ8LBHv
564Please respect copyright.PENANAh5THt1VpRV
"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.564Please respect copyright.PENANAg6NeTlENih
564Please respect copyright.PENANAwm8812kLTu
"Let's talk about this when you'll have a clear mind. You look for some kind of affection right now and-"564Please respect copyright.PENANAvD7K8QvY1y
564Please respect copyright.PENANAycbRi1vLl0
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.
