[Hyunjae's Pov}
Making my way to my bedroom after having a fight with my parents, I just wanted to die or wanted them to die because they won't let me live in peace. Shutting the door loudly, I opened the window for some fresh air, It was almost midnight and I also had University tomorrow.
[Author's Pov}
Lee Hyunjae is a 20-year-old boy who lives with his parents but hates them. His dream is to be a singer but his parents won't allow it. The only child
Slowly opening his eyes as his alarm went off. The brown-haired boy sighed and got up. Wearing comfortable clothes and grabbing his phone as he made his way downstairs to find no one in the house. Good! He made himself coffee before grabbing his bag and leaving the house.
-
??: JAEHYUN!
Someone shouted as the brown-haired boy looked behind to see his best friend running to him.
Jae: Ayy soyeon!
Soyeon: Guess what!!
Jae: What?
Soyeon: We're having a field trip!
She squealed as the boy just smiled and nodded.
Jae: Good!
Soyeon: You are coming right??
Jae: I don't know... should I?
Soyeon: YES
The girl jumped and Hyunjae just stood there staring at her.
Yoon Soyeon is an 18-year-old girl. Hyunjae's bestfriend. Is known as the cool one in school. Has a boyfriend named Jake.

[Hyunjae's Pov]
I sighed before twisting the doorknob which led inside our house. I was in hell again. Shouting could be heard outside the door. Instead of going inside, I walked away. It was evening and I seriously don't want to ruin my mood. I went to the park nearby and sat on the ground while view gazing at the evening sun. Its view was so beautiful, children were playing around, couples were taking pictures, and families were happy together while I'm alone and regretting all my life decisions.
A tear left my eye but I didn't allow other tears to start flowing since I do not want to cry in a public place.
-
Its almost 9 as the park was empty now, and only one or two people could be seen. The street lights were on, I was in the same position as before. I watched the sunset and how it disappeared, it was very relaxing since there was a winter breeze too. Winter was on its way so it was already cold, and I was wearing just a sweatshirt, how dumb of me.
Well, time to go home.
-
Jae: I'm home!
I said but there was no response.
I ignored the silence but my mom's voice could be heard. It wasn't her normal voice, it was something else as if she was in pain. she was screaming but someone had covered her mouth.
[Author's Pov]
Throwing his bag on the ground, Hyunjae made his way toward his parent's room. Opening the door as his eyes widened and his mouth hung open.
Jae: M- mom?
His mom laying on the bedroom floor, dead.
Jae: MOM!
He ran to her and placed her head on his lap.
Jae: Mom wake up. come on! Don't play with me.
She wasn't stabbed but there was blood flowing from her neck. The boy checked his mother's neck and saw two holes in it, the holes looked as if someone bit her.
Hyunae dialed the ambulance and it arrived in minutes. Police were also there and my father was being questioned right now. I'm pretty sure this was my father.
??: Are you Mrs. lee's son?
The young boy turned around and nodded at the policeman.
Police: I'm gonna ask some questions. Were you there when this happened?
Jae: No... I was at the park the whole evening.
Police: At what time did you witness this?
Jae: It was almost 9.
Police: Your mother wasn't stabbed but we did see teeth marks. But we haven't confirmed if it was an animal or a human. We'll let you know!
Jae: Thank you, officer.
The young boy bowed at the older as he left.
[Hyunjae's Pov]
I should be happy right now. At least one of them left and one burden was gone but at the same time, I feel empty. She was my mother no matter what she did, she gave birth to me and raised me even tho she had such an abusive husband. I have to report my dad too but not now, I'm exhausted.
-
Hearing weird sounds outside my window as I finally removed my eyes from the book I was reading. Wind blowing outside, and whistling could be heard. I got up and tried to close the window but it was stuck.
Forget it, I'm wasting my time.
I closed the book, turned off the light, and turned around but a figure next to my bed could be seen. Panicking, I tried switching on the light but it didn't work, trying to open the door but it wouldn't budge. Why was this happening to me? I let out a heavy sigh and looked behind but the figure was in front of me now, too close.
Tears started to fall out of my eyes and I only thing I remember is a hand caressing my cheek.
-
Hyunjae: Ahh my head hurts.
I slowly opened my eyes and got up while holding my head. My body hurts, my neck is burning, and my hands are pale, but I was on my bed. I looked around to see if anyone was there. Rushing to the bathroom, I looked at myself in the mirror and I was perfectly fine, no nothing.
What time is it?
I glanced at the clock and shot open my eyes. THE FIELD TRIP! FUCK! I was 20 minutes late already.
-
-
Running near the bus as I could see Soyeon talking with the teacher.
Soyeon: Jae!! YOU'RE LATE!
She screamed and I bowed multiple times in front of my teacher for forgiveness.
Teacher: It's fine! Just get on the bus now.
Jae: Sorry gosh, I overslept.
Soyeon: I can see but at least you're here!
She completed her words as she went to sit down with her boyfriend. I looked around for an empty place and saw one at the back.
Jae: Hi! This is free?
I asked politely pointing at the seat beside the one that was occupied.
??: Yeah yeah.
Jae: Thanks.
??: I'm Sunwoo!
Jae: Hyunjae... Nice to meet you sunwoo!
Woo: Can say the same.
The boy with red hair passed me a smile and I smiled back...
-
Setting up my camp near the fire where other students did. Mine was next to Sunwoo. Sunwoo and I got pretty close on the bus. I found out he was an only child too and came to Korea two months ago. He was a nice friend I would say.
Sunwoo: Do u need help?
Jae: Can you fix that corner?
Woo: Sure!
He smiled and walked in the opposite direction.
Teachers: Okay students, before it gets dark, we're going to explore the woods a bit. I'll tell you your team partners now. So soyeon and jake, sulli and nayeon, jay and chani, mina and Lucas, sunwoo, and hyunjae. ( and other students, a total of 13 pairs)
Woo: Guess we're stuck together.
Jae: Hahah maybe yes.
-
Woo: It's already getting dark lmao.
Jae: What do we have to find?
I asked removing the leaves out of my face.
Woo: Uhm a moonstone? Idk that's what the professor said.
Jae: Okay okay. Gosh, I'm tired.
Woo: It has only been 20 mins lol.
Jae: How are you not tired dude?
Woo: Magic.
He laughed and I bend down grabbing my knees from tiredness.
Woo: The moon looks so pretty!
I looked up when sunwoo said that and he was right! It was a full moon and incredibly aesthetic and glorious.
Woo: Did you know, Vampires find their mates on a full moon?
Jae: Vampires? Aren't they unreal?
Woo: I believe they're real tbh.
Jae: What about werewolves, goblins, fairies, dwarfs, pegasus, mermaids, and other creatures?
Woo: I think all of them are real.
Jae: You're a crazy dude.
He chuckled and I just stared at him.
Woo: Okay enough talks, ITS DARK let's get moving.
-
We were still exploring and now it was way too dark, I was looking around a bush when something shined. And I saw a stone.
Jae: Hey sunwoo is that the moonstone?
I looked behind me but Sunwoo was not there, no sight of him.
Jae: Sunwoo?
A groan met my ear as I turned towards that area not expecting what I saw.
A wolf with dark red eyes stared into my soul. HELL NAW. I am not gonna die today. Not here.
A hand reached my mouth and my eyes shut due to the pressure. Someone pulled me. I opened my eyes and saw the most beautiful human being to ever exist right in front of me, covering my mouth. He was looking behind me.
After a minute or two his blue eyes met mine and his eyes sucked in my soul. His nose touched mine. His black hair strands covered his blue orbs. A scar near his left eye. He smelled like blueberries. His arm was pretty muscular. The way he was staring at me made me melt. He removed his hand from my mouth
???: Staring at a stranger for more than five minutes is illegal.
Jae: Not my fault you're this handsome.
FUCK I DID NOT-
The guy left out a small chuckle.
???: You shouldn't be alone in the woods at this time.
Jae: I got lost. I lost my friend. Thank you.
???: It's fine. Is that your friend over there?
He said and pointed behind me with his blue fucking eyes. I looked behind and it was sunwoo. I ran to him.
Jae: SUNWOO!
Woo: YAH! WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?
Jae: I COULD ASK THE SAME.
Woo: Let's just get out.
Jae: Oh and see that guy over there, he just saved me.
I pointed behind me while looking at Sunwoo.
Woo: Hyunjae, there's no one there.
Jae: What? Him-
I turned around he was gone. That pretty guy was gone.
Woo: Let's just go for now.
I nodded and we made our way back, the moonstone still in my hand as we were looking for the way.
-
An hour passed by already when I had my first encounter with that guy. Me and sunwoo were back at the camps luckily. I was staring at the rock in my hand while sunwoo was reading a book next to me with a phone flashlight.
Woo: My phone ran out of battery what the fuck?
I looked at him who was staring at his phone.
Jae: I have a power bank.
I handed him the power bank after fetching it from my bag.
Woo: Thanks Jaehyun!
He passed a smile and I smiled back.
It was already 2 AM and Sunwoo went to his camp an hour ago and here I was scrolling through my phone while wearing AirPods.
I slid outside from my camp and did a stretch and let out a big sigh.
Hyunjae: What do I do now? I can't sleep and my phone isn't helping.
I can't wander around in the woods again because I already encounter a fucking wolf. Luck saved me but I might not be lucky this time so no.
I was staring at the moon while enjoying the fresh wind passing by.
??: Hey.
I shivered at the sudden voice and the voice was pretty familiar too. I looked behind me but saw no one, I got up and looked sideways for the owner of the voice. Was I hallucinating? I scratched my forehead in confusing and decided to ignore it. I turned back to sit again but the sight made my heart stop.
Jae: HOLY JESUS MOTHER-
??: Did I scare you?
Jae: No.
I said trying to act cool.
??: Oh then who's heart is beating so much as if it's about to pop out any moment?
HOW THE HECK?
He stared at me with his blue orbs making me sink into the ground. Pull yourself together Lee Jaehyun.
??: I'm Juyeon... Lee Juyeon.
He gave me his hand to shake and I did.
Jae: I'm Lee Hyunjae.
Juyo: Oh same surnames!
He smiled and AHHHHHH HE HAD A CAT SMILE.
Jae: Yeah so...
Juyo: Why are you up? It's pretty late plus your eyes are red.
He said as he removed my bangs from my eyes and then smiled again.
Jae: Coulsn't sleep. Why are you awake?
Juyo: Hunting werewolves.
Jae: Huh?
I looked at him with the weirdest face.
Juyo: Just kidding pfft.
He laughed and I joined.
Juyo: There's a sea nearby... Wanna take a walk? If you're comfortable.
Jae: Why not.
-
We were lying on the sand near the sea, counting the stars.
Juyo: You do know that you can't count stars.
Jae: Shush... you're gonna make me forget.
Juyo: Dumbo.
I looked to my right where he was laying.
Jae: You dumbo.
Juyo: How can I be a dumbo? I don't count stars.
Jae: I count stars because I want to. Judge me all you want dumb bitch.
He laughed and threw sand at me.
Jae: Fuck you juyeon.
He suddenly got up and running as I grabbed sand in my hand for a payback.
Juyo: Yeah...This is my favorite shirt. Nooooo.
Jae: Shut up!
Juyo: Dumbo stop.
We laughed and fight and then ended up shoving each other into the water.
-
Juyo: I'm not forgiving you for this.
Jae: Neither am I
I replied back while sitting at the same exact spot we were before.
Juyo: Wanna watch the sunrise or go back?
Jae: Let's watch it.
We sat together and noticed he had a very pretty bracelet. A Grey bracelet with a bat on it and a red stone on top of the bat.
Juyo: You like it?
He raised my chin so that I could meet his eyes.
Jae: Yeah it's pretty.
Juyo: My mom gave it to me when she passed away. Or should I say killed?
His eyes suddenly changed color. They were light blue now.
Jae: I'm sorry. But how did she die?
Juyo: Humans.
Jae: She was murdered?
Juyo: Not only by mother.
Jae: Oh... Can I know the whole story if you like?
He smiled.
Juyo: This is the first time, I'm telling someone but okay.
He bit his bottom lip and turned towards me as I sit up straight.
Juyo: This bracelet is more of an inheritance. My mother died when I was 10. She was the prettiest woman in my eyes. I had an older brother; Sangyeon. I was the only child in my whole village, everyone else was older. Sangyeon had a very deep relationship with me and I told him everything. But one day, Humans attacked our village. They locked up the other families but dragged us somewhere. My mom was stabbed right in the heart with a wood stick, the same with my brother and dad. I was left. I couldn't do much but I tried my best escaping but couldn't. I was also stabbed but they missed my heart so I didn't die. Such a Tragic life.
He stared at his bracelet while I was processing everything. Why was this never in news? It is 2023 right now? Never heard this from my grandmother too.
Jae: I'm sorry.
I said as I had nothing else to say. I'm bad at comforting wth.
Jae: When did it all happen tho? We never heard something like this.
Juyo: 1877. The year of the cries.
I paused. Everything paused. His eyes were dark blue again. Nothing in my mind except 1877.
Juyo: Hyunjae?
He snapped his fingers in front of me.
Jae: So this means that you're supernatural.
He stayed silent.
Juyo: Yes a vampire to be exact. I know this is a lot to take in.
VAMPIRE?
Jae: YOU'RE A WHAT? OH GOSH? CAN YOU FLY? WHAT ABOUT TURNING INTO A BAT? DO YOU DRINK BLOOD? CAN YOU TELEPORT? OH GOSH, THIS IS AWESOME.
Juyo: What? This was totally not I thought you were gonna react.
I stood up. Now actually feeling a bit scared.
Jae: Are you gonna hurt me?
I said as I took a step back.
He shook his head as a NO.
Jae: How would I know you won't?
Juyo: If I wanted to... I would've dried out your blood by that three where I saved your dumbo ass.
And I was lost in my thoughts again.
Jae: Why are you with me then? If you don't wanna drink my blood or stuff.
Juyo: I fell in love with you.
Hold Up WHAT?
Jae: You fell in love with me?
Juyo: Yes.
He said very straightly.
Jae: Why? Why not other girls or boys?
Juyo: I don't attract girls and I fell in love with you because you smell like my mother. Like herbs.
I did have a herbs perfume on tho. I sat down again next to him.
Jae: It's pretty early and the sun is almost up.
Juyo: Did you ever have a kiss?
I thought for a while. If I say I did not then he'll think I'm a daddy's boy and If I did then he'll think I'm too easy to capture.
Jae: No.
He smiled showing his cat smile. AHHHHH I might not fall for him but I sure did for his smile.
Juyo: Can I be the first?
He asked while placing his hand on my thigh. The sun was almost up and If I didn't, I might not have a more romantic scene again.
Before he could do anything, I crashed my lips on his warm lips and felt him smile. He cupped my right cheek and caressed his thumb. His lips take dominance in an instant showing how weak I am compared to him.
His warm tongue slid inside my mouth and searched every part. We stuck our foreheads together as I came in contact with his blue orbs.
Jae: You have beautiful eyes.
Juyo: You have a beautiful voice.
Jae: Thank you.
Juyo: For what?
Jae: For not hiding who you are.
Juyo: I just trusted you.
Jae: How old are you tho?
Juyo: Idk...Probably thousands of years old. Never actually counted.
Jae: Fuck hell- You're Old old.
He scoffed.
Juyo: Still handsome and young looking tho.
Jae: That's true tho.
I said as A big yawn left my mouth.
Juyo: I'll carry you.
He said after leaving a peck on my head and giving me his back to hop on.
Jae: Nice muscles.
I laughed and he joined.
