"congratulations on your test, seolhye!" seulyeon, one of seolhye's best friends told her as they walked through the school halls.
"thanks, seulyeon." the girl responded blankly.
it was already dismissal time for the whole school and they all were walking in groups on the way home.
"oi! kang seulyeon! nam seolhye! wait for me!" a familiar voice shouted at them, which caused the two girls to halt.
"bae jinyoung."
the small-faced boy ran towards the pair then slowed down his pace upon reaching them. he decided to walk beside seolhye, who apparently, was spacing out. he decided to get her attention by waving a hand in front of her face but unfortunately, she was too occupied with her thoughts that she didn't even notice they already reached her house.
"seolhye! we're already here at your house!"
"earth to seolhyeeeee!"
"oh we're here already? alright, thanks. see you guys tomorrow!"
jinyoung just nodded and responded with a "see you" and the other two left for their own houses. seolhye walked into her house, which literally looked more like a mansion, since it was huge. upon entering, she noticed her parents weren't home.
"hm, they're probably on a business meeting." she told herself, scanning the area before going upstairs to her room.
as she was going up the stairs, she suddenly heard the flapping of wings from upstairs; from her room specifically. her emotions became a mix of curiosity and fear. she was afraid of things that fly, like pigeons and other birds but still, she wanted to check the cause of the unsettling sound. the teenage girl walked into her room and looked around, suddenly noticing her closet door left ajar. she felt as though she were in a horror movie, she was alone, and now she was inching towards her closet to inspect if there was anything else inside aside from her clothes. she slowly opened her closet fully, and jumped.
"boo." a boy who looked around her age said from inside the closet, startling the living daylights out of her. he grinned and winked.
"ew! get out you perv!" she said, hitting him with her book repetitively,
"stop stop ow- alright! i'll go out!" he said, stepping out from her closet.
she looked him up and down, his hair was a light shade of brown, skin pale, his eyes were so beautiful she could lose herself into him just looking into those orbs. his lips were fixed into a smirk, and he had a healthy-looking body. his presence seemed a bit intimidating, but soft at the same time.
"checking me out, huh?" he smirked.
"not in that way. so..."
"park jihoon."
"jihoon, tell me how you got in my room?"
"your window was left open last night, remember? so i flew in? while you were asleep?"
"stop horsing around, tell me exactly how you got in. humans can't fly."
"exactly. i'm not human. i'm a vampire."
"bitch where?"
"do you really want me to show you?" he sighed, having enough of her bullshit.
"show me then."
his irises transformed from soft brown, to a deep crimson red. his fangs grew, and he instantly turned into this blood-thirsty creature.
"ok i believe you now! turn back into the jihoon from awhile ago, please!" seolhye pleaded, looking more scared than ever.
jihoon shifted back into the innocent, ethereal boy he was awhile ago. his fangs retracted, and his eyes turned back into a soft shade of brown.
"oh my god, did i scare you?" he asked, eyes widening at seolhye who was shaking. he went to her and patted her back awkwardly. "i guess i shouldn't have showed you the other side of me yet. you weren't ready at all."
"sorry, i shouldn't have been full of pride anyways."
"that's fine, it's a normal reaction for human beings to not believe what others say, especially when they haven't seen things yet, seolhye."
"how did you know my name?"
"i can read your mind, duh."
if he can read minds, what other abilities does he have? she thought, curious and fascinated.
"about that, i can also teleport, turn into a bat, and i also have superhuman strength. now if you don't have anymore questions about me, i'll go to the market now to buy some fresh meat because i'm really hungry." he said, and teleported to the market.
oh my god, what if he teleports into the bathroom while i'm taking a shower? she thought, anxious.
he suddenly appeared behind her and said, "i'm not a pervert, mind you." before disappearing again.
