The whole day, I kept calm and trying to stay away from Devil Team but Mark and Jay kept on hitting at me. Tan didnt bother much but I could see the smirk he hid behind his calm face. I didnt have the patience to attend classes till the end so I excused myself by noon. Ryunjin wasnt letting me go by myself thinking that I was sick.
"Finally." I sighed taking my phone to call Ryan.
Ryan is my childhood friend who accompanied me to the Vampire school but being the brat I am, he got into troubles with me. He studied a lot better than me and was intrested in reading books about human world. He ran to live among humans not so long ago and I luckily have his number even now.
ON CALL...
"R-ryan?"
"Shea? Where are you? I heard you ran away just like me." Ryan asked in one breath.
"Woah woah woah! Calm down. I am coming to meet you, so tell me where you are." I said not wanting to explain more via call.
"Seoul?" He asked back as if confused.
"Perfect, text me the address." I ended the call and hurried to catch bus.

"Hey." I jumped on him as soon as he opened the door.
"Shea? Where were you staying?" Ryan asked hugging me back.
"Here. I got admission in an university here." I proudly announced breaking the hug.
"Never knew that you would come here to study." He chuckled walking to the couch.
"Dude, whats this? A mini library?" I was amused seeing the number of books he stuffed all over.
"Well, my reference books." He shrugged while asking me to take a seat.
"Hmm, so what do you do?" I asked him while glancing at the books he kept at the study.
"I am a proffesor. I teach human anatomy." He gave me a cheeky smile to which I choked.
"You are teaching what?"
"Human anatomy." He said trying to control his laugh.
"How can a vampire do that? Dont you get carried away by the blood?" I asked curiously.
"Hmm, not really. I get blood from lab and moreover I have learned to control my thirst." He chuckled.
"Hmm, I am even struggling to learn biology basics." I facepalmed at my own stupid state.
"It takes time, you dont have to rush the process. Take it slow but try to avoid human blood until you feel that you are dying." Ryan seemed serious.
"So, the reason behind my visit is..." I started but didnt know how to continue.
"Hmm.." he hummed waiting for me to continue.
"There is this one boy who studies in my class and I find him really different than others."
"What difference do you feel?"
"His blood...its more bold and addictive. I feel myself losing control next to him. He fortunately picks up on me all the time too." I sighed thinking of the Devil.
"What is his name?" Ryan asked walking to the book shelf.
"Tan.."
"Surname?" Ryan pulled out a book walking to me.
"Kim." I replied taking the book which he offered to me.
"Well, this book is about different type of human blood. You have to go through the pages from twelve to fifteen where it explains the unique scent of blood. Find out which one you feel when he is next to you." Ryan explained to me while leaning on the soft couch.
"Hmm, Okay." I scanned the pages quickly by using my vampire skills.
"Got something?" He asked bending to me.
"This...not exactly but almost this." I said pointing at the blood type written at the left top corner of page fourteen.
"Are you sure? This is suspicious to be honest." Ryan muttered.
"What is?" I asked moving close to him.
"Nothing, give me some time." He said getting up worriedly.
"What is it, Ryan? Tell me." I raised my voice.
"Shea, you can go. I will call you later." He said locking himself himself a room.
"What the hell?" I stood there fumming before barging out breaking the front door.
I clearly remember what was written on the book about every blood type but...
'AB-ve'..Thats a rare blood group..which means more powerful and addictive. The rarest combination but humans do have that blood. Its not just the blood group that matters.
Ryunjin called me to ask if I am doing fine and I successfully lied to her saying that I am totally good even though I feel shit about myself. I walked back home fighting with my own brain to stay away from trouble.
I regret joining this university and the only thing that I can do now is to change the university which is exactly what I am planning to do. I could try to stay away from Tan but he isnt going to do that as I am his favourite prey.
My mind was flooded with the murder scene which I witnessed last night. What if Tan is a killer? Does he deserve to live? I cant kill him on mere doubt as I may regret later. I felt like yeeting myself away from the world.
I plopped on the bed ready to take a small nap as my body and mind is totally worn out. I dont want to think of Tan at least for the night. I swiftly drifted to sleep listening to the soft prayers which came from the church nearby.
It was past mid night and I woke up when cold breeze tickled my bare skin. I sat up and looked to the left to see the window glass wide open. I dont remember whether I locked it or not before I slept so I just shrugged off the thoughts walking to the window.
Keeping hands on the rails, I looked down enjoying the cold breeze and the silence outside. The road was dark with no street lights which was strange. Why is it so peaceful? Is this going to be the start of a revolt?
