"Professor, your face is red. Are you okay..?"

"Yeah... well, it's just a little ticklish."

The female protagonist, who sat down for a company dinner on a special occasion to have a drink and ignore the reality of her situation, had a drink or two and before she knew it, she had filled her tolerance.

"Why don't you go out and play, Miss? Let's go out together-"

As everyone was leaving one by one, looking for their partner or something, and the empty seats were gradually increasing, the colleague sitting next to me invited me to leave with him.

"Okay, let's go out and get some fresh air."

She already thought that she was bound to So-jeong the moment she drank alcohol on this day.

The heroine thought that going out and meeting a vampire might be more beneficial to So-jeong.

“......”

I'm going to get trampled to death at this rate.

The road was so crowded with people that there was nowhere to set foot.

I was too lazy to play alone, so I just walked around and fucked my colleagues' butts.

The sight of the people, all flashy and dazzling, was obscured by the rising alcohol, and by the time I could see them to some extent, my fellow doctor had already disappeared into the crowd.

“...Where am I, am I...”

I should have listened to my mom.

I was wandering around trying to get back to the bar, and ended up in an alley where there was no one.

As my mom said, I guess I should have just stayed in place when I got lost.

I'm so drunk that I have no strength in my legs, and I'm alone in this eerie alleyway where it feels like a strange man might come out.

Was it when I was leaning against the wall with my head on my hands in the worst possible situation?

“What are you doing alone?”

I heard a captivating low-pitched sound from in front of me, and when I raised my head, I saw the face of a mysterious man just within touching distance of my nose.

Eyes with a dazzling red glow,

A sharp nose and jawline that look like they were sculpted by a world-class artist,

Lips that are so attractive that they will make you feel at ease.

Ah, dangerous. A red light flashed in my head, but I just stared at him in question.

“...I got lost.”

“Huh-”

She is quite interesting because she is completely lost in his gaze.

"You look good in doctor makeup."

우여주 image

우여주

“Thank you, that suits you well too..”

“...vampire makeup.”

One eyebrow twitched at the sight of the vampire, but I figured it was just makeup, since vampires would never reveal themselves.

"Your name is... Wooyeoju? Your name is pretty, even."

It was a typical work comment, but his eyes were wide open and his lips were slightly upturned like cherries.

Above all, the atmosphere surrounding them with his unique aura had a reddish tint.

The two of them just stared at each other for a while without saying a word.

Whether it was because she was intoxicated by his atmosphere or simply drunk, the female protagonist became confused.

He chuckled at the female protagonist who was staring at him with slightly open eyes, and then their noses met.

“Can I kiss you?”

It was clearly a question, but he didn't raise his eyebrows. He was sure the female protagonist would grant his permission.

As he said, without a single mistake, the female protagonist slowly nodded without taking her eyes off him.

He tilted his head slightly and pressed his lips to hers. Yeah, it would be more accurate to say he swallowed her lips rather than pressed them.

In the alley where the shameful sound was heard, there was only a woman with her back against the wall and a man pushing her as if to swallow her.

His lips, which had been exploring hers, moved down to her neck.

"ha-..."

She tried to shrug her shoulders when she felt his breath on her, and as soon as their lips touched, she pushed his shoulders away, putting distance between them.

There was confusion in his wide, round eyes.

“......”

Suddenly pushed back, he looked at the female protagonist with his eyes wide open, and she covered her neck with both hands due to an inexplicable sense of pressure.

It was a good thing he was wearing a turtleneck, otherwise the red flower would already be engraved on his neck.

"I'm not eating it, so take your hand off me."

In terms of color, it's red, and in terms of animal, it's a nine-tailed fox.

The female protagonist was so captivated by him that she felt like she would give up her neck, her eyes tightly shut.

And then I think back-.

Red, red-...

"....red"

When I opened my eyes in surprise, I saw myself reflected in his red eyes.

It glowed red. It shone so beautifully that I couldn't look away.

A red that is far from the red that the sun sets on, a dark red with a hint of blood.

Why didn't I notice it sooner?

She was looking at herself with twisted eyes, as if she had been searching for something for years.

Ding ding ding-

The sound of the bell ringing at midnight, signaling the end of the day, echoed through the streets.

"...under,"

And at the same time as the bell rang, the mysterious man in front of her disappeared with a short sigh.

To be exact, it flew over the wall and into the sky in an instant.

“......”

우여주

"...what..."

Was it a dream? I can't explain it, but it was so vivid it was freaking vivid.

The female protagonist, who had lost strength in her legs and collapsed to the spot, stared at the spot where he had been standing.

The feeling that those red eyes were still watching him from somewhere enveloped his whole body.

She will never forget those eyes, how could she?

“...vampire.”

The owner of the one and only blood-red eyes.
