Vampire In The City
Soojung's Regret

🎃🎃

The evening sky is very beautiful reddish-orange. Soojung is walking home from the campus gate. The days he lived increasingly with heartbreak. He thought he could be calmer, more peaceful by ignoring Seokjin, but on the contrary. Things did not go according to his predictions. Soojung has no appetite, he thinks hard, sometimes regrets himself, sometimes blames himself.

What exactly does he want?

Soojung biting lips. Anni, anni, he has to focus on the future not thinking about what happened.

The woman will cross the road but not because there is a vehicle that will pass. A familiar jeep that Soojung knows who owns. Like a slow motion, Soojung stood on the sidelines staring into the car window, looking at the man she had just thought of.

Seokjin drove quietly, looking straight ahead, not looking at Soojung at all, rather ignoring the student, as if not looking at her.

Soojung stood frozen to see the car passing by, seeing Seokjin ignoring her, as if she were a fly. The man's expression was so hard and cold. Is Seokjin mad at him? Huh, who wouldn't be angry if played? Technically, Soojung played him.

Soojung's eyes grew bigger to see the jeep passing him. She doesn't expect Seokjin to stop for her, offering her a ride. But he wished at least Seokjin returned his gaze.

Soojung's hands clenched. He recalled that he treated Seokjin first in class.

Soojung. He himself did not know what he really wanted.

Meanwhile Seokjin who was in the car, both hands holding the steering squeezed tight. He doesn't know why he ignored Soojung like that, does he want to reciprocate Soojung's treatment? But Seokjin actually wants to improve this relationship and miscommunication.

The power of the vampire Seokjin is to control and manipulate memory. Should he manipulate Soojung's memory and make her fall in love with him? Seokjin laughed bitterly. He doesn't like the sneaky way. But he really wanted to go back to chatting with the woman.

Seokjin never thought about romance. But this one is why it ties him so much. He is a vampire while Soojung is a human, given emphasis, a human who hates vampires!! It was clear to Seokjin not to get close to the woman, but it was as if an invisible red thread was connecting her to Soojung.

Hoseok slammed his mouth while walking on the sidewalk that night. He was new from the department store to buy some necessities and snacks. He knew that someone was following him now. Hoseok may be just an ordinary human but he who is ordinary is alone, can feel the moment in his ‘space’ is disturbed, when there are others who are following him, watching him even from a distance.

Hoseok has been living alone for a long time since he left the orphanage a few years ago. He lives from the funds of donors who still want to help him live and college from Hoseok can account for the value of his lectures. Hoseok is not a smart student, but its value is quite good enough to keep it financed and given funds.

Hoseok pulled out his phone, pretending to check the message. He opens the front camera, he'll check who's following him. Hoseok walked slowly while pointing his phone to see who was far behind him who was following him stealthily. It's a little hard to figure it out because it looks like the stalker is following from afar.

Hoseok clicked his mouth. He tried to point the front camera even better, zoom in his camera to see what was behind him. Suddenly he was fixated when he suddenly saw the shadow of someone in his camera. And it's very familiar.

Hoseok gulped. He vividly remembered the neat hair he had seen on the camera was exactly what Namjoon had looked like in class. Namjoon followed??

I don't know why Hoseok feels so excited. He was followed by Namjoon. He's convinced that Namjoon is a vampire. Based on instincts and evidence that he had seen himself.. And now Namjoon followed him.. Does Namjoon feel threatened because his identity has been revealed? But Hoseok won't threaten Namjoon's life. Hoseok is a vampire fan. It will never put this vampire population at risk in Seoul.

Hoseok gave a big smile. He'll get more excited this way. If Namjoon follows him like this, will Hoseok need to give back treatment? He will follow the vampire, finding out where he lives and lives, just like Namjoon does today.

Soojung has been feeling bad since morning. He followed the lecture with difficulty concentrating, his head dizzy and his stomach nauseous. He had no idea what was going on with him these few days. But so much has been bothering her mind since Halloween. Is he stressed from thinking too much about his relationship with Seokjin? Does he regret what he did?

Soojung tidied up his book while holding his forehead. His forehead was a bit warm and his head was dizzy. Maybe he should skip the next lecture and just go home. If she's still dating Kai, maybe she can ask him to take her home. But if it is like this, he must go home alone, even though he actually can't stand it, want to immediately fall on the bed. And Soojung's personality is a bit jutek, making her also do not have close friends. He used to have friends at High School but they are different from him because they study outside the city and abroad.

Soojung walks out of her class, trying to stay strong. While in the hallway he saw from a distance Seokjin walking towards him. The lecturer caught a glimpse of it but looked the other way back.

Soojung stopped and stood looking at the lecturer. I don't know what made her fixated and could only look at Seokjin. Soojung understands that what she did to Seokjin was very unfair, avoiding her and not expressing clear reasons. He understood if Seokjin was upset with him.

Seokjin ignored Soojung. He continued walking towards the woman, looking straight ahead without seeing the woman at all. Seokjin doesn't want to force anyone to like her okay? Moreover, an ordinary human who actually has a personal vendetta against vampires. Seokjin will not force someone's feelings. He will accept Soojung to be like this to him, because after all their world is completely different.

Like swallowing bitter bile, so is Soojung's face when Seokjin passed her without turning her head, without greeting as usual. Soojung smiled gloomily at herself. Isn't this what he wanted? Making himself and Seokjin like ‘asing’ is the same as before, as if the kiss never existed…

Soojung looked back, saw Seokjin who had walked further and further away leaving her, then turned into another hallway, missing from her sight.

Soojung looked up, trying to hold her eyes back from glazing. It must be because his body is not fit he becomes more mellow like this. Must be because it wasn't she wanted to cry? It wasn't because of the relationship and Seokjin that became bland.

The woman went back to her destination, to immediately go home and rest. Although his mind was again occupied with regret and guilt. He should have apologized to his lecturer for ignoring him.

But the rice has become porridge…

Soojung grimaces. He felt his head getting sicker instead of improving. Soojung stopped walking and held the wall, trying to support her weight. But the longer the look in his eyes was even twitching, as if this place was circling. The woman was no longer strong, she gave up her limp body to fall to the floor. But it was not the hard floor that touched his body.there was someone who was embracing him, preventing him from falling unconscious.

Soojung's eyes are still open, seeing Seokjin holding her plate, helping her not to fall. Is this a dream? Has he been hallucinating? But even if it's a hallucination, Soojung wants to say something to her regret.

“Mian..” he said slowly because his body was getting limp. He was not strong and immediately fainted unconscious.
