Blood Under the Cherry Blossom Tree

Who is that person?

"Huh? It's 8 o'clock. The stars and cherry blossom trees must be really pretty by now. I should bring my phone too. I can take pictures and draw."

I took my phone, sketchbook, colored pencils, and 4B pencils. After I packed all my drawing supplies, I went to the cherry blossom hill where I often go to draw and drew. People call it Vampire Hill and don't come there.

Because the vampires that existed 300 years ago during the Joseon Dynasty still exist or something like that, anyway, at that time, there was a woman that the vampire who killed many people fell in love with, and when his family tried to kill her,

It is said that he killed his family in front of the woman and that he was so heartbroken to see her see his body covered in blood that he left her a word and disappeared.

It's a beautiful story, but what was that one word? Did that woman... miss that vampire? I was so curious that I looked it up, but not a single word about it came up, and it's been a long time since I forgot about it.

I went up to the hill, sat down, opened my sketchbook, and drew while looking at the cherry blossom trees. Then, I saw a man with his head slightly tilted back and his eyes closed. I looked away and drew because I thought the man flinched when the wind blew cutely.

"Huh..? I drew that person too.. Hey.. Really.."

"..That man will be loved by a woman more beautiful than anyone else..That woman will be loved by that man.."

"I'm jealous... I'm also a drunkard... Really..."

"Huh? Our eyes met..!!"

Then the wind blew hard and I looked at the man, pushing my fluttering hair behind my ear. The man opened his eyes wide, grabbed my wrist, and left.

"What's with that guy... Was I really that ugly... No matter what, I'm still like that..."

"Ah, I feel bad. Let's go home. I drew enough pictures. Ah, a picture!!"

I took out my phone and took a picture of the cherry blossom tree and the night sky.

I didn't know then
