Seoyoung just stares at the business card left behind by the mysterious woman.

Anyone who saw a woman who spoke as if she knew how to kill a vampire would find it suspicious.

It was as if he was tempting Seoyoung and leading her into a trap.

If it had been Seoyoung before she met Min-gyu, she would have gone to the address written on the business card the woman gave her without hesitation.

Because Seoyoung hated vampires back then.

But the current Seoyoung… …


이서영
for a moment,


이서영
It's like my hatred for vampires is disappearing because of that bastard Kim Min-gyu...

She was someone I somehow disliked and found creepy.

Anyway, Seoyoung has no desire to go at the moment.

I didn't want to take the risk and go find out how to kill a vampire,

Above all, I couldn't fall for the obvious trap.

Because her pride wouldn't allow it.

Seoyoung crumpled up the unnecessary business card and threw it into the trash can.

Even though the business card itself is innocent.

You're sleeping here again.

Jeong-han, who has just woken up from sleep, finds Yeo-ju fast asleep on the sofa.

My body feels cold, maybe because I slept without anything covering me.

Jeonghan, worried that he might catch a cold, brings a blanket from his room.

His movements are cautious, as if he might wake up.

Have you ever been this delicate for someone?

Jeonghan, who was covering her with a blanket, finds a piece of paper that she appears to have dropped.


윤정한
Is this… a business card?

This is the business card that the mysterious woman gave me earlier.

There is a name written on the business card that looks somehow familiar.


윤정한
Kim… Heeyeon?

The name buried in my memory.

That name you can never forget.

The name that can be seen as the root of everything.

Kim Hee-yeon, the research director responsible for all those terrible experiments.

She was alive.

All the fires were extinguished and not even the bodies were visible, so I believed that even the bones were burned and that the punishment for sin had been paid.

It was like this, living a normal life.

I had sneaked out that day.

Some people are still living in pain.

Jeonghan was seething with anger.

Not only is he still alive, he even gave the female protagonist a business card.

Still, we don't know.

I might have become disabled somewhere,

You may be living in pain for various reasons.

Yoon Jeong-han hoped that would happen.

I hope she is never happy,

I hope you're not living an ordinary life.

Yoon Jeong-han wishes for nothing.

And then I think.

I have to go to the address written on the business card.

This time I'm really going to finish it.

윤정한
Looks like heaven is not on my side.


윤정한
I can't believe I survived this well.


김희연
hmm?


김희연
I never invited you.

Kim Hee-yeon, a former researcher and everyone's enemy, appears to be smiling leisurely, but there's something awkward about it.

I guess I can't hide my embarrassment.


김희연
I definitely gave that kid my business card.


김희연
But it doesn't matter whether you come or that kid comes.


김희연
anyway……


김희연
Because it won't change the fact that you're both going to die.
