[Contest] The Vampire's First and Last Love

First Encounter with a Vampire

I was certain that the exact same thing would happen today and tomorrow. But... after meeting that man, nothing like the same thing happened, and every day was mysterious.

At that time, I was on my way home after finishing my part-time job.

Ugh... I'm so tired! I should head home now to feed my little one. I couldn't feed them this morning... They aren't starving, are they?

It rained exceptionally heavily today. And as I was walking down the street... I got lost... I was definitely walking straight, but at some point, I found myself standing in an alley.

여주

Where am I...? But... why does it feel like I've been here before? It's my first time here today, so why...?

As I continued walking, I spotted an old shop. This nameless shop... feels somehow familiar. Should I go in...?

여주

Excuse me... by any chance, is this place still open?

다니엘

Welcome. Are you alone? Please sit here.

여주

Ah... no! I just stopped by to ask for directions. Is there another way out of this alley by any chance?

I wondered if he didn't want to talk, or if he didn't know the way... or if there was something on my face. I asked the man again, who was just staring at me intently.

여주

I'm sorry, but is there no way to get out of this alley?

다니엘

Ah, yes. Please leave this store, turn left, then turn right and go straight.

The man stared at me with a wistful expression for a few minutes before finally answering the question I asked again. After thanking him, I left the store, walked out of the alley as he had instructed, and arrived home to find that the rain had stopped by the time I realized it.

여주

Phew... I'm home. Hey! Aren't you hungry?

남동생

Yeah. I prepared and ate dinner earlier. Don't worry.

여주

Huh? You ate the whole meal by yourself? What's up? Looks like you've grown up~ My little sibling haha?

My younger sibling is in their second year of high school, and I have just become an adult. I leave for a part-time job early every morning. I had a desire to go to college, but considering the financial aspect and the thought of my sibling being home alone, I chose not to pursue it and am living my current life.
