20 Love?
***
The female protagonist waited for Jeong-han, who had already disappeared and was awake, to return.
Seeing that the note was gone, it was clear that Jeonghan had gone to the place written on it.
윤정한
You were up?
이여주
Where… did you go?
이여주
Did you see my note?
윤정한
What kind of note? I don't know.
Jeonghan, who had gone out for a bit, felt colder than before.
He was the one who always treated the female protagonist kindly.
Perhaps he is trying to get rid of his attachment since he has to die without being able to move.
He already loves her and can't help it, but he wants her to hate him at least.
Don't be sad when you die because you hate yourself.
윤정한
But why are you curious about where I went?
윤정한
I don't think we're in a position to be curious about that much.
The female protagonist felt a pang in her chest.
Even I wondered why.
I just felt saddened by his cold actions.
Jisoo, who was next to him, must have noticed that his appearance was clearly different from before, and she added a word.
홍지수
You seem a bit… grumpy?
Jeonghan showed a soulless smile.
윤정한
well?
윤정한
I used to be like this.
윤정한
Oh right, I have to go somewhere again.
Jeonghan took off his coat and left the house again.
The heroine had an uneasy feeling for some unknown reason.

김민규
Why do you like dark places like this, Seoyoung?
김민규
Is the vampire Seoyoung by any chance?
이서영
Please don't say such terrible things.
On a late night, in a deep alley, voices mixed with irritation and gruffness are heard.
이서영
That's because this is a shortcut.
김민규
Hmm~
Min-gyu stops walking at the sudden noise.
이서영
What, why did it suddenly stop?
김민규
I don't know what's going on here.
김민규
Jeonghan hyung.
Min-gyu naturally hides Seo-young behind his body.
It was never his intention.
It just came out naturally.
김민규
I didn't know you would come first?
윤정한
I know.
윤정한
I thought I would never be the one to go first.
Jeonghan instantly rushes to Minkyu and strangles him.
Min-gyu's body hits the wall because Jeong-han is pushing him.
It's different from the past when I used to be nagged just to threaten.
As Min-gyu's breathing becomes increasingly difficult, Jeong-han's nails begin to dig into his neck.
윤정한
sorry.
윤정한
I have to kill you now.
In Jeonghan's eyes, filled with fear, we see Min-gyu suffering.
김민규
Ugh… …
Min-gyu uses all his strength to grab Jeong-han's wrist, almost crushing it.
As Jeonghan's grip on his neck gradually loosened, Mingyu pushed him away and stroked his wounded neck to catch his breath.
김민규
Wow, I almost died.
Jeonghan rushes in without even waiting for Min-gyu to catch his breath.
If he doesn't stop that hand right now, Jeonghan's hand, rushing in with terrifying force, will pierce Min-gyu's stomach.
But at that moment, I was hesitating because I still didn't have the strength to do so...
Seoyoung runs towards him.
Seoyoung herself doesn't know why she rushed in now.
Did he rush to help Min-gyu?
Or maybe he rushed in because he couldn't stand to see a murder occur near the restaurant where he works?
I also have doubts.
But now she's rushing in without even thinking about how to stop it.
She, a mere human, is rushing at a vampire.
Are you trying to block it with your own body?
Still, Seoyoung is afraid, so she closes her eyes tightly with tears in her eyes.
At that moment,
이여주
Stop it!!!
The female protagonist, who ran quickly from the entrance of the alley, shouts at Jeong-han to stop.
Thanks to that, Jeonghan comes to his senses and stops attacking.
If it had been even a little later, Seoyoung's stomach would have probably been punctured.
Seoyoung confirms that her body is healthy and sits down on the spot, as if her tension has been relieved.
이서영
Wow… I thought I was going to die…
김민규
Are you crazy? Why are you suddenly rushing in?
이서영
I don't know, neither.
이서영
I don't know why I rushed in either.
이여주
Mr. Jeonghan, why are you like that??
이여주
That woman almost died at your hands.
이여주
Mr. Jeonghan, did you see the note I had?
이여주
Did you go to the address written there??
이여주
What on earth happened there?
이여주
What the heck… …
이여주
What made you like that…
The heroine cannot bring herself to hug Jeonghan and just holds onto his sleeve.
윤정한
I didn't know there were so many people who were curious.
윤정한
By the way, Miss Yeoju, how did you get here?
홍지수
I brought it.
홍지수
Because I know where you are.
Perhaps it's because Jeonghan's blood flows through Jisoo.
홍지수
No matter how I looked at it, it was different and strange from usual, so I brought Yeoju.
이여주
Mr. Jeonghan, please speak quickly.
이여주
What happened there?
Jeonghan hesitates, but soon, unable to overcome the woman's earnest gaze, he tells her everything Kim Hee-yeon said.
The female protagonist is surprised to learn that she was a test subject, as she has no memories of her childhood.
And then I get really angry.
Using his own life to make Jeonghan kill his friends.
김민규
Wow, that research director is alive…
Min-gyu also gets angry.
The research director who had tormented him so much was still alive.
김민규
Hey, I have a good idea.
윤정한
…what?
김민규
Aren't you all enemies of the research director now?
김민규
It's common for people who were originally enemies to unite when they encounter a common enemy.
김민규
Let's work together for a moment.
김민규
And let's find a way to save my brother as much as possible.
김민규
Let's torture the research director and find out somehow.
윤정한
I'm done.
윤정한
As long as Yeoju lives, that's enough.
김민규
what.
김민규
My brother must die by my hands.
김민규
You have to pay the price for abandoning me and running away back then.
김민규
But I don't really want to kill someone who holds such poison.
김민규
So don't say anything and just do as I say.
