Vampire's Flower
EP.02
She couldn't see a thing in front of her. It was so dark she couldn't even tell where she was, so Seoyoung looked around, searching dimly. But all she could see was pitch-black darkness. Terrified by this blinding darkness, Seoyoung trembled and ran for her life.
Then, Seoyoung felt something chasing her from behind, so she turned around and immediately regretted it. A black object was chasing her. Seoyoung screamed and ran even faster.
Her heart pounded, she was out of breath, and nausea rose to her throat. Her legs were shaking so much that even taking a step was difficult, but Seoyoung ran with all her might, never slowing down.
강서영
evil!!
Before long, Seoyoung was caught by a dark object. The shapeless darkness gripped her leg and wouldn't let go, causing her to fall to the ground.
The pain was so intense that tears welled up in her eyes, but it didn't take away her fear. She wanted to live. She didn't want to die in a place like this. Seoyoung covered her face with her hands, trembling, begging anyone, no matter who, to come save her.
???
Should I save you..?
Seoyoung raised her head slightly as she heard a captivating voice. The enticing voice emerging from the darkness crawled up her body and strangled her.
Fear paralyzed her tongue, and her breathing was so tight that she couldn't speak properly. But if she didn't answer, the owner of the voice felt like he was going to kill her at any moment. Seoyoung screamed with all her might.
강서영
Sa, save me..!
Kuung-!
강서영
Ugh
Seoyoung fell out of bed and hit her back hard on the floor. She frowned at the pain in her back and waist as she stood up. Then, her eyes widened as she realized she was home.
강서영
When did you come back...?
He was clearly in front of the school, but when he came to, he realized he wasn't at the school gates, but in his room. Seo Young-woon hurriedly examined himself, wondering if what he had experienced was a dream.
강서영
There's nothing wrong!
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her body, Seoyoung shouted loudly, raising her hands to the sky in relief.
강서영
It was all a dream!
Seoyoung's face lit up with a visibly relieved smile as she realized what she'd experienced was a dream. She left the living room, complaining about falling out of bed after a dream about a dog. As she looked at her watch, her expression grew increasingly horrified.
08:00 PM
강서영
Hey, eight o'clock?
Seoyoung rubbed her eyes and checked her watch again, but the hands still pointed to 8:00. Her school's start time was 7:50, so unless her watch broke, she was late.
강서영
Grandma! Why didn't you wake me up?
As soon as Seoyoung came out into the living room, she started screaming.
Seoyoung, who had been screaming, stopped and closed her mouth when she realized that there was no one in the living room.
강서영
No, really
Her grandmother was no longer alive. It had been a month since she passed away, yet every morning she habitually searched for her. Seeing the chill in the living room, devoid of any sign of life, Seoyoung roughly wiped away her tears and shook her head.
강서영
Let's not do this
Seoyoung muttered softly and clutched her head, feeling foolish for thinking of the dead person every day.
강서영
You can do it on your own, Kang Seo-young
Seoyoung was born without parents. She was raised by her grandmother and uncle. Furthermore, her uncle left early to work in a foreign land to earn money to support her niece, Seoyoung, and her elderly mother. Therefore, except when she was very young, she rarely saw him.
Perhaps that's why Seoyoung doesn't have much affection for her uncle. It was a cold winter, but to shake off her distracting thoughts, Seoyoung washed her hair and face with cold water and quickly got ready for school. Considering her first class was at 8:30, she could have gotten there before class started by taking a taxi. She quickly got ready and got in the taxi.
한예령
Seoyoung, over here!
As if she was lucky, countless students were standing on the playground for morning assembly. At the urging of a classmate to quickly line up, Seoyoung hurried to the back of her class and stood in line without her homeroom teacher's knowledge. She was able to remain comfortable, unaware of her tardiness. But at that moment, the principal's words rang in her ears.
교장선생님
Unfortunately, a student at our school was attacked by a vampire.
Although he didn't say who it was by name, Seoyoung could easily guess that the student the principal was talking about was her friend Minah.
강서영
..It wasn't a dream...?
Seoyoung laughed hollowly. She'd thought Min-ah's death and everything she'd experienced were all a dream, but the principal's words had confirmed that everything she'd experienced wasn't a dream.
반 아이들
Seoyoung, did you hear about Minah?
반 아이들
It wasn't just Minah who got hit, Jehee from class 4 got hit too.
Because Seoyoung was usually close with Minah, the kids gathered around her and asked her what had happened. But Seoyoung sat there, dumbfounded, unable to answer.
강서영
'If it's true... If what I experienced was really true!'
Seoyoung clutched her hair and lay face down on the desk. Even though her life was in danger, she still felt uneasy about helping a human-eating monster.
???
Seoyoung, can you see me over there?
