Buy blood

06. That child

It was a rainy day that day.

It was a day like any other

Then Heeju brought a child who was almost dying.

민윤기

What's going on, who is that dying kid?

희주

..I'm going to owe you some money

희주

Please save this child

희주

I can help you a lot here..so..

민윤기

Hmm...well, the kid's opinion is more important than yours.

민윤기

But... I can't seem to answer that...

민윤기

And more than that, wouldn't you be able to save me with your strength?

희주

.........

Didn't say anything

희주

..it's a curse, there's no other way but your blood

민윤기

I see...but...

민윤기

Becoming a vampire...isn't such a light thing.

민윤기

You know very well, immortality...

희주

....yes, lonely and sad..

Then a faint voice was heard

임현식

Please...save me...

임현식

Please......ah..ji..g..I've never..lived..properly..ㅇ..

민윤기

..ha, are you sure you won't regret it?

nodded

Those pitiful mouths and lifeless eyes looked pitiful.

But I shouldn't have done that then

Not knowing what kind of tragedy that might bring

민윤기

Even if I become a vampire, I don't know if I can live a proper life...

Without saying a word, I could only hear breathing

He held my hand tightly.

민윤기

Yeah...then there's nothing we can do, Heejoo

희주

Thank you.. I really appreciate it..

민윤기

What are you thankful for? Please take care of me from tomorrow onwards.

희주

Of course haha

희주

I can live... I'm so glad... I won't be sick anymore...

And then he held the child tightly in his arms

The child's complexion improved day by day.

Winter passes and spring comes

Through spring and into summer

After summer, into fall

And winter comes again

One year, two years...

As time passes, the fish will outlive the human lifespan.

임현식

.......

The child became more and more listless as the days went by.

I no longer have the will to live

I thought life was pointless

The child was in tears every day

I didn't eat anything anymore and I closed my eyes and ears.

Then one day the child came to me

The child spoke to me softly with lifeless eyes.

임현식

......Please kill me..

임현식

No matter what I do, I won't die... Even if I jump or hang myself

임현식

Even if I stab myself in the heart and sever my arteries, I won't die.

임현식

Please...kill me...it's too hard...

임현식

I just realized... I shouldn't have done that...

임현식

Please...

Only then did I realize

"What have I done..?"

I ended up causing a tragedy with my own hands.

At that time, I couldn't say anything and just held the child in my arms.

There was only one way a vampire could die.

Drinking the blood of a pure-blooded witch

Hee-ju is now the only pure-blooded witch left.

민윤기

...Just a little...just a little sleep...

I need time to think too...

And then someone said to me

김석진

...Why did you do that?

김석진

Why did you do something you'll regret?

It was then that I met Seok Jin-hyung again.

김석진

..don't show pity, in the end both of you will get hurt...

김석진

Not everyone is like me

민윤기

......

I couldn't say anything

Because it's all true

And then after deep thought he opened his mouth

민윤기

..... I guess I have to do as this kid wants..

민윤기

..If I leave it any longer..this child will suffer more..

김석진

Then go find Heejoo quickly

김석진

Don't do something you'll regret again

And then I went to the cape to find Heeju

민윤기

..Heeju

희주

What brings you here?

민윤기

....I need your blood..

희주

Well, is that what the kid said?

Contrary to expectations, she didn't worry.

As if it had been expected

민윤기

I guess you expected it

희주

I expected it from the beginning...

희주

Your mental strength must have reached its limit.

희주

People around him are dying one by one

희주

Because human life has surpassed everything

희주

This isn't the life you wanted...

희주

It must be hard for both of them...

Even if you're prepared, it won't be easy...

희주

Well then, shall we go now?

For a while I couldn't answer.

민윤기

....okay

The child was asleep on the sofa

Then Heeju held the child's hand and said

희주

I'm sorry, but I'm glad I can still feel life well.

희주

I hope we'll be happy next time we meet.

After he finished speaking, he took out a syringe and injected blood.

The child opened his eyes slightly and said nothing.

I was just pointing my finger

After a while, even that finger disappeared.

임현식

he...

We looked at that child's pretty smiling face

We laughed too

I couldn't bring myself to shed tears in front of my child.

After all the children disappeared

I shed tears silently

민윤기

.........

Then Heejoo patted me on the back

Heeju went straight to where the finger was pointing.

What was there was a letter
