Yeo-ju put on some makeup and dressed neatly for the first time in a while. It was her first time standing, so she was nervous for no reason. Should she act a bit, then flip over and leave? Or should she just splash some water on her face and leave right away?
As I was thinking about how I could satisfactorily dig up the spot, the taxi stopped in front of a fairly large mansion.
"It's not even a restaurant, it's just a house this big..?"
The heroine, momentarily surprised by the unbelievable size of the house, pulled herself together again and entered the yard.
I vowed to myself that I had to make a big fuss and get out.
As she approached the front door, a man who appeared to be a butler guided her into the house as if he had been waiting for her.
"It's here"
"thank you..."
Nodding, I bowed my head and opened the door he had shown me to and went in.
As I entered the room, I saw several women sitting there. It wasn't like they were having an interview or anything, but two men were asking the women questions and the women were answering them. And... that kid was sitting at the very end.
I was about to leave, but my eyes met his. His expression of boredom had vanished, and he looked slightly surprised when he saw me.
I was surprised too, damn it
As I was staring at her for a while, unable to go out or sit down, I suddenly felt my gaze gradually shifting to Yoongi, who was standing up from his chair and walking with wide strides when he saw Yeoju.
Instinctively, I felt that I had to run away now, so I twisted my body more than anyone else.
"Eww!!"
Although Yoongi was faster.
My wrist, which had been roughly grabbed, throbbed.
"This...something..!"
"grandfather"
"Let go of my wrist..!"
"I'll marry her"
What the fuck..?

The young man's remarks drew the glares of the women who followed him, and he was greeted with the unexpectedly large size of his room. In fact, he was practically dragged there.
As soon as the door closed, the expression on her face from before in front of the people disappeared, as if a mask had been removed and she returned to her usual stern demeanor.
"hey"
Damn it, I curse Lee Ji-eun
"You were at the hospital then..."
"Oh, yes, how is your health?"
"Have you seen my bag?"
The voice that was ringing in my ears was cold. It seemed like the voice was shaking slightly.
It seemed to be referring to the pack in my bag. I'd somehow taken it out, wrapped it in plastic, and stored it away in the refrigerator. Memories of that time came flooding back. Perhaps seeing the woman's face harden, I felt Yoongi's hand tighten.
"Ah...ah! It hurts!! First, let go of my wrist...!"
"Press the seal."
"This is violence!! Do you understand?"
"Why are you reporting it?"
I mustered all my strength to shake off his grip. Contrary to my expectations, he obediently released my wrist. The female protagonist's thumb was stained red, as if it had been touched.
"Are you going to report it?"
"Let me out now"
"Why would I report you too?"
"...."
"You think I'm a creepy vampire kid, don't you?"
"...."
"If you came to marry me because of your family anyway, then just shut up."
All of this... was something I was hearing for the first time.

"Yoongi!!!"
"grandfather.."
"You said you fell, but what the heck is this all of a sudden..!"
"I'm thirsty... My throat... feels like it's going to burn..."
The blood spattered on the hospital room floor was grotesque.
The nurses were just stamping their feet outside the ward, as if they had been pushed out while trying to stop them.
“Please stop that patient!! Yes? If we keep doing this, there won’t be any blood left for transfusion at the hospital!”
"Grandpa... I'm still thirsty..."
"Yoongi, calm down first...! Let's take a deep breath."
"Ah, I drank so much blood... ugh... My throat... hurts so much..."
A chronic disease that seemed to have disappeared...has returned.
