The Man of Roses

Ep. 1 / Suspicious Encounter

[Yerin's point of view]

"So, are you awake?"

서예린

Who are you?

A low-pitched voice, presumably belonging to a man, can be heard faintly.

Next to him, a woman was asleep, face down on the desk, unable to turn off the news radio she had been listening to with her neck exposed.

김태형

I guess you haven't seen the news?

김태형

These days, I've been told to wear warmers like that.

Her body momentarily convulsed in reaction to the nerves that had been momentarily tense.

Next to her, his large left hand, humming softly, passed over her chin and caressed her right cheek, and he slowly turned his head to the left.

A red light suddenly leaked out from Sam Baek-an's pupil as he faced Yerin's shaking pupil.

His tongue, which had been reaching out towards her trembling shoulder, swept across his front teeth and canines.

The canines, which were longer and sharper than her front teeth, oozed a pearly sheen, and only then did she notice them.

He is a research subject and legendary monster classified as having a bat-like body, which is so hot these days.

김태형

'Vampire'

That it was.

A rather pale face with blood-red lips,

Everything about him, including his inhuman visuals, told us that he was a vampire.

He paused for a moment as my pupils trembled in fear, then quickly pulled out my chair.

서예린

What are you doing,

김태형

You noticed.

김태형

What kind of being am I,

After finishing speaking, he turned my head back to look straight ahead and placed two fingers on my neck to check my condition.

김태형

Okay, relax.

김태형

Don't be too scared, it will be over soon.

It was no different from a zombie saying, "I will bite you after laughing it off," and biting you.

It was different from the vampires that you often see in movies and dramas, who bite and rip anyone off.
