Wan Seulgi could see how Han Seoyeon had made an expression like a maiden in love. Her best friend was particularly uninterested in relationship which made her also worried. But to see that she could find someone, as her best friend Wan Seulgi felt happy and part of her was proud for telling her friend to act as her to the blind date that day and meet Mr. Jung Hwa. Though she also felt sorry for dragging her to the problem.
Then she felt her throaty burned suddenly, her eyes were flickering from red color to black, fading fastly that her body felt painful and hurt. She curved her body forward while clutching to her chest that throbbed.
"Seulgi?!" Han Seoyeon called panic when she saw Seulgi crouching in pain while holding her chest. "Wait, I'll call the doctor." and she pulled the button that was used to notify nurses and doctors only to be stopped by Seulgi.
"No, I'm fine." Seoyeon saw how she gritted her teeth as she spoke and drew her brows.
"What do you mean your are fine?! Your face is deadly pale!"
"I said I'm fine!" Han Seoyeon looked at her surprised with how she suddenly yelled at her lungs toward her. Even though she had meant well to be shouted by Wan Seulgi made her to feel hurt.
Noticing the expression, Wan Seulgi gave a surprised face and held her hand, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you." and she was true because Han Seoyeon could tell how surprised she was after yelling at her. She then scolded herself, Wan Seulgi have went through a horrible experience by staying with the witchess in their lair. She may said she didn't see something but it could be possible that her conscious found the situation to be frightening.
"I know," whispered Han Seoyeon, "but are you really fine?" her brows tightened with concern. She had to be stubborn if Wan Seulgi was still in pain.
"Mhm. I just need a little rest, can you pass me a glass of water? I'm feeling very parched right now." Asked Seulgi and Seoyeon nodded to help her with a glass but as if a glass wasn't enough, Wan Seulgi continued to ask for more water until a whole jar of water had been poured to her glass.
"Are you still thirsty?" questioned Seoyeon feeling the situation to be odd.
"Yes. The doctor said that I lost lots of fluids that's why I kept in being thirsty." Seulgi explained and then added, "Can you fill the jar again, I'm still a little thirsty. Please." she added her words.
Han Seoyeon didn't want to go too far from her friend but in the room they were alone and she couldn't possibly push the emergency button when it was only a matter of refilling water. "Alright. Wait here." and Seoyeon left the room with the jar of water.
Wan Seulgi then breathed out a mouthful of breaths. Her lungs felt as if she had run a mile and her breathing became ragged. She felt dizzy and her eyes kept on flickering. When Han Seoyeon had hugged her, she could smell a very sweet scent from her friend, a part of her wanted to sank her teeth to her name and just the thought made her whole body cringe and her stomach churned.
Since the night she had woken up, she felt very thirsty, her throat as if it had a smoldering fire inside it. Every time she saw someone coming toward her, she felt the thirst getting stronger and there was a sweet scent that intoxicated her.
What happened to her? She felt she had slowly turned to something as if she was about to morph into another being.
Was it because she had drank the weird drink from the small girl in that basement? And because of that she had turned to something else?
She felt her body turned cold and her hand shuddered in chill. The glass of water she had been holding unconsciously tightened, a crack formed on the body of the glass and when Seulgi thought that she had become something else that felt unquenched thirst, the glass broke in her hand.
Han Seoyeon had went back in a hurry when she open the door to see glass had broken on Seulgi's bed. Her friend look stunned and so was she for a second.
"What happened?" Seoyeon placed the jar of water somewhere on the desk she found. Her eyes concerned look at Seulgi and scolded, "Are you hurt? I've been only gone for a second. Don't do anything that could harm yourself Seulgi you've just woken up!" she rambled her scolding slipped of her mouth and her eyes grew weary when she forcefully took Seulgi's hand to see if she had hurt herself and fortunately there wasn't a single wound in her hand.
"Hello?" she spoke unsurely with Seulgi staring at something until her friend snapped back from dozing off. "I will clean this don't go anywhere." said Seoyeon and she begin to pick up the glasses shards in the place. Picking a few, Wan Seulgi was shocked at her own hand, she had broken a firm glass by a slight squeeze and there was the thought in her mind how it would be easier to break bones if she could break the glass by her own hands.
Seoyeon seemed to be saying many things with her lips moving up and down but Seulgi couldn't hear anything. When she saw Seoyeon took a sharp shard of glass. A drop of blood oozes put from the cut in Seoyeon's fingertips. The color was deep and dark but light when she stared at it and looks very sweet like a delicacy that her mouth begin to water.
There was a sweet fragrance filling the room, somewhat smelling like a sweet cherry candy and she licked her lips unable to stop herself from wanting to lick the blood.
"You're too close Seulgi, how could I clean the glass if you are this close?" asked Seoyeon, shaking her head at her missing the time where Wan Seulgi had stared at her neck with her bloody eyes.
