« CHAPTER 10 »

How much time had passed since he left? She didn’t know and she didn’t care. There was a huge, empty hole inside of her and the only thing that kept her standing was his last words, which were confusing, yet somewhat encouraging. She had tried her best to make him stay, even going so far as admitting her immature feelings for him. But it was fruitless. He still left.

Without even explaining anything, she reminded herself.

She hadn’t moved from the spot on the sidewalk in front of their house. The spot where she had desperately clung to him. The spot where she had watched him disappear.

Little by little, the feeling came back to her legs and she felt more worn out than ever. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath to calm her nerves and brace herself for the looming confrontation with her father and Ji Sun. It wasn't as if she had done something wrong.

“I told him to stay, but…” she muttered under her breath.

“But he still left, huh?”

Her eyes automatically opened wide as an otherworldly voice spoke just right behind her left ear. She did not dare turn around, for she already knew who that voice belonged to. Her heart was now pumping loudly in her ears, which was not a good sign at all. It was during rare moments like this that she actually did stupid and irrational things.

“It’s been a while… human.”

“Ha— Han Jung…?”

“It’s HAN KYUNG, you stupid girl!” he snapped, quite irritated.

Hyeon Jin’s blood boiled and every emotion she had felt moments ago was immediately flushed out, leaving only defiance and anger. Nobody called her stupid, especially not some measly bloodsucker messenger who was scared of someone younger than him by a few years. She turned around and shoved him hard.

“Don’t call me stupid, you spineless bloodsucker!”

“How dare you touch me, you filthy human?” he said.

For a second, he looked as if he was ready to pounce on her, so she took a quick step back.

“What do you want?” she asked.

Han Kyung eased up a little and flashed his patented Cheshire cat smile, as though they were playing some sort of game and he was winning. “I think I know something you don’t.”

“Yeah, tell me about it. I know nothing. But I’m not stupid,” Hyeon Jin said bitterly. She began to walk toward her house, thinking it would be unwise to chitchat with this insane, nosy bloodsucker. At least, not without another bloodsucker by her side to protect her.

“You wanna know why he felt the need to leave?” His voice was getting creepier in that “I-know-something-you-don’t” sense. She did not look back, but she froze in her tracks. “You see, little Mun Oh is in deep shit for the first time in his life,” Han Kyung went on, obviously enjoying the moment. “First, he let himself be discovered by a human, yet he did not even bother modifying her memory. I don’t know, maybe he just didn’t want to bite that human because of his stupid ‘taste’ or something.
