23 A person named Hong Ji-su (1)

윤정한
You should have listened when I verbally warned you to live quietly, okay?

“Sigh…Fuck…”

Three men, bleeding and swearing.

And Hong Ji-soo, who is soaked in fear.

What the hell is going on here?

It's nice to eat out and walk together. It's a different experience than eating out before.

이여주
Somehow the night air feels much cooler and nicer.


윤정한
Yeah, that's right.


윤정한
I like it too.

이여주
I don't think I ever said that much.


윤정한
Was it like that?

Jeonghan smiles softly.

No matter what the female protagonist does or says, it all seems cute and lovable.

Looking at them like that, Jisoo smiled mechanically.


홍지수
I hope you don't forget that I'm here too.

Perhaps this contains the meaning of not salting.

The two laugh out loud at Jisoo's words.

I felt embarrassed and just found this situation funny.

Jisoo also laughed along with them as she watched them laughing happily.

It felt like the first happiness I'd felt in a long time.

But that happiness was short-lived,

Jisoo's face gradually hardened.

No, I was so frozen that I was overcome with fear.


윤정한
Why are you suddenly like that?

I slowly followed Jisoo's gaze as she stared at one place, soaked in fear.

Then, three men who looked like thugs to anyone who saw them walked over, spitting phlegm on the floor.

As I continued to look, I felt like they were familiar faces to Jeonghan.

I feel like we've met before...

Before Jeonghan could even remember them, they came at him with a bang.

“Hey, Hong Ji-soo, long time no see?”

“I thought you were dead~”

“But shouldn’t it be like that?”

“We fought so hard.”

Only then did Jeonghan remember who they were.

They were the ones who assaulted Jisoo until she was on the verge of death.

At that time, I was wearing the same school uniform as Jisoo,

By chance, he committed an act of violence near Jeonghan's house, but was intimidated by Jeonghan's force and ran away.

And Jeonghan used his own blood to save Jisoo and turned her into a vampire.

“Hey, why aren’t you talking?”

A man shoved Jisoo's shoulder hard and said.

“I told you to answer quickly whenever I ask you something.”

이여주
What are you doing now?

Maybe because I've been through so much, I don't seem to be afraid of people like that.

이여주
I saw you just spitting phlegm on the floor.

이여주
Don't you know that's not okay?

이여주
I think I'm old enough to eat...

The heroine glanced at them and then quickly changed her words.

이여주
School uniform… that’s it.

이여주
You're a student.

이여주
I was so skinny I thought he was older than me.

It wasn't said with much malicious intent.

It was just something I said without realizing it because they were too skinny to wear school uniforms.

It seems that they were annoyed by the word "sliced" and their expressions were distorted and they acted as if they were going to hit the female lead.


윤정한
Hey, you guys.


윤정한
Are you still doing this?


윤정한
I think I warned you last time to live quietly.

“What warning?”

“Why don’t you give me a warning~ like you did back then.”

Then he took a knife out of his pocket.

Jeonghan, who saw that, just laughed and said.


윤정한
I'm trying hard~

They were so angry at Jeonghan for laughing at them that they rushed at him.

But of course, it wasn't enough.

How dare a human like me

Could a minor defeat an adult vampire?

Jeonghan instantly struck the hand of the boy holding the knife and made him drop it.

Then he gave each of the three a punch.

Because of that, the children's lips and mouths were split open and blood flowed out.


윤정한
Why did you do that?


윤정한
You should have listened when I verbally warned you to live quietly, okay?
