"...What are you going to do?"

They flipped each other over again, sending sparks flying, sending red liquid flowing across their skin, and causing the reddish wounds to swell.

Baekhyun looked straight at Hoseok, who was now firmly in his grasp. Hoseok's eyes, finally pressed to the ground and held tightly, trembled inexplicably.

Hoseok was already exhausted. It seemed to be the result of Seungwoo's recent torment, and I also suspected it was because of the intense fight he'd just had with me.

Tears welled up in Hoseok's eyes as he choked, his neck held in his hands. Watching Hoseok groan in pain, Baekhyun felt as if he was being strangled.

"... master."

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"Ugh... Ugh, why, ugh!"

변백현 image

변백현

"Master... Master... What kind of vampire are you?"

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"Huh! What are you talking about!"

변백현 image

변백현

"That's not nonsense. The owner was never like this from the beginning."

"I've never seen it, but I think I know what it looks like."

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"Ah, ahhh!!!"

Baekhyun instantly tightened his grip and pressed down on Hoseok from above. Red flames and blue ice poured out from his body, and Hoseok writhed and screamed.

Baekhyun squeezed his eyes shut, unable to bear to watch Hoseok agonize beneath him. He needed to completely shake him out of his shell. Only then, with such a devastating shock, would the brainwashing dissipate and his memories return.

...

...took.

변백현 image

변백현

"Haa... ugh."

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"..."

변백현 image

변백현

"... master."

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"..."

There was no answer. Hoseok slumped to the floor, his expression looking as if he were the world's youngest. Baekhyun kept calling Hoseok in a trembling voice. I lost consciousness, but for a moment, I was afraid I'd done something wrong.

변백현 image

변백현

"I, I didn't do anything wrong, right?"

변백현 image

변백현

'Please, just wake up without any problems... please.'

I quickly grabbed a worn-out blanket lying around. Whether or not the brainwashing wore off, Ho-seok was still unconscious. Furthermore, as a temperature-sensitive vampire, body temperature was crucial.

Baekhyun, who had carefully wrapped a blanket around Hoseok's body, finally sat up properly. I, too, was feeling unwell, so I had to fight Hoseok to get a good fight, and my whole body ached.

I was roughly massaging my neck muscles, trying to relax them, when suddenly a loud noise came from outside. At first, I thought it was Taehyung's group and didn't pay attention, but something felt off. They wouldn't be so noisy.

The sound of jars and other objects breaking, flying, and shattering echoed throughout the area. Baekhyun, overcome with anxiety, quickly turned around and looked behind him, toward the door, his gaze still fixed on Hoseok.

변백현

"..."

한승우 (27)

"Baekhyun?"

변백현 image

변백현

"...Do...Liannim."

Baekhyun had expected it, but he hadn't imagined Seungwoo would arrive at this moment. But even if he had, there was no answer now. He didn't have the confidence to shake them off with the unconscious Hoseok.

Meanwhile, Seungwoo approached slowly, a faint smile on his face. His smile, shining brightly in the moonlight, was unusually cold.

한승우 (27)

"Our Baekhyun is here... why, and why is he like this? Huh?"

변백현 image

변백현

"..."

There is no way out.

변백현 image

변백현

"master."

한승우 (27)

"Yeah, I'll just listen to what you have to say because it'll be boring for me if you just get rid of it. Tell me."

변백현 image

변백현

"..."

한승우 (27)

"Why, when I try to talk, I get scared?"

변백현 image

변백현

"that is."

"Aaah!!!!!!"

Pfft-!!!

Suddenly, a single scream from a soldier came from a corner. Baekhyun and Seungwoo's eyes widened and they simultaneously looked in that direction.

And Baekhyun froze in place, dumbfounded, unaware of his own tears flowing down his face without any time to control them.

"Ah... I helped you a little because it seemed like you were at a disadvantage. Or, I'm sorry... You had such a pained expression on your face that I didn't realize it... Haha."

변백현 image

변백현

"..."

한승우 (27)

"What the heck? Why does he talk like that?"

변백현 image

변백현

"..."

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"Who are you to be speaking informally to me? Do you know me?"

한승우 (27)

"what?"

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"Do you know me? Even though I look like this, I'm still Your Majesty's bodyguard, right? Please refrain from speaking informally. It would be embarrassing. So, what's your name? I'm not good at remembering faces."

한승우 (27)

"... no."

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"No? Your name is "No"? Wow, that's really unique. But I think this is our first meeting, Mr. Ni."

한승우 (27)

"Oh, no!"

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"Ah... I'm sorry. Is your name "Ah-ani"? Then it must be Mr. Ani!"

한승우 (27)

"No, Byun Baekhyun!! Why is Jung Ho Seok like this!!!"

변백현 image

변백현

"..."

Leaving Seungwoo, who was still stunned, calling his name, behind, Baekhyun slowly approached Hoseok. He took each step with trembling legs, careful.

변백현 image

변백현

"..."

변백현 image

변백현

"... master."

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"Huh?"

Warm and fuzzy, like a midwinter Christmas. On the other hand, her eyes were like the bright waves of a dazzling summer sea at a resort. The owner was originally a beautiful person with such eyes.

He looked utterly flustered when I called him "owner," but his bright smile shone through the darkness. His lively eyes were brimming with youthful energy.

변백현 image

변백현

"Oh, no. Just pretend you didn't hear what I said."

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"...Why are you suddenly using informal language with me?"

변백현 image

변백현

"I'll tell you later. I'll explain everything later."

chin -

Hoseok looked confused for a moment, but soon smiled and nodded, and Baekhyun grabbed Hoseok's wrist harder than ever.

변백현 image

변백현

"Can you fly?"

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"sure."

한승우 (27)

"Baekhyun Byun!!!"

변백현 image

변백현

"..."

변백현 image

변백현

"It's over, my lord. You will soon learn what it means to fall into the abyss."

fluttering -

Even during that brief moment of flight, countless sounds pierced my ears. Seungwoo's screams, demanding to be caught, the soldiers' abilities and shouts, the sound of weapons and swords being drawn.

But the ending was the two flapping their wings as they cut through the night sky embroidered with twinkling stars, along with the cool breeze.

Even as Baekhyun soared and glidged with stability, he didn't let go of Hoseok's wrist. Instead, his eyes searched intently for something, and he held onto Hoseok's wrist even tighter.

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"..."

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"There, my wrist."

변백현 image

변백현

"ah."

As Hoseok opened his mouth, Baekhyun finally recognized his wrist. But his grip on his hand didn't let go immediately. Baekhyun, who briefly loosened his grip before quickly tightening his grip, asked with a childlike gaze.

"Can you hold on a little longer?"

It was a kind of tantrum.

The childish tantrums of a child who suffered at a young age.

Hoseok smiled faintly and nodded in understanding. Suddenly, he opened his eyes to find this tiny child squirming before him. For some reason, he didn't dislike the child, who exuded a mysterious, yet warm and cold aura.

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"How old are you?"

변백현 image

변백현

"Twenty-two."

"Young," Hoseok continued, looking around. He found this child, who spoke informally to him despite his young age, adorably annoying. "Who is this kid? Where is he taking me now?"

변백현 image

변백현

"excuse me."

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"yes?"

Beneath the trees in the forest, I saw something like a brightly flickering bonfire. And around it, lying peacefully, one, two, three... eight?

It was Taehyung's group.

Hoseok instinctively recognized this and looked at Baekhyun with a look of disbelief. Baekhyun, too, was quite taken aback by the sudden appearance of tears in Hoseok's eyes.

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"...I... lived?"

변백현 image

변백현

"... huh?"

정호석 (27) image

정호석 (27)

"Really, really... did you survive?"

변백현 image

변백현

"..."

변백현 image

변백현

"...Yeah, I survived. This place isn't like heaven."

변백현 image

변백현

"I saved you."

변백현 image

변백현

"The guy sitting over there saved me."

Here, here! Remember what I promised you last time? I've uploaded the prologue! It's a short story, so I think it wouldn't be bad to read it for fun. I'll finish up the main story and upload it as soon as I can :)

Oh my... I'm late again... Actually, I finished writing it yesterday, but I had to edit it, so I barely managed to upload it before 12 o'clock on Sunday. I usually upload it around 8 or 9 o'clock, but it's even later today.

I'm really sorry, but even though the serialization period is long... I'm trying harder to show you a better story, so I'd appreciate it if you'd think of it that way... ㅠㅠ

Thank you for reading today :) The weather has been very unpredictable lately, so check the weather forecast and make sure to bring an umbrella and the right clothes!
