Part 6: Farewell
Grossly tossed onto the cold, hard ground, Chorong groaned in pain. Krystal, the Dracula that Sungjae once told him about took him in the dark and into the forest, quite far away and creepy. Not knowing what Krystal wanted, Chorong could only look at her. Didn't Sungjae befriend him, then why did Krystal treat him with a rough, cold face, eyes lit up with rage and approached Chorong full of emphasis at every step. Inching back, Chorong suddenly understood that he was going to die too.
“Do not do!” Sungjae came running fast but not as good as before. She is grateful that Krystal gave her blood to drink while Sungjae was dying. Help him survive. Right, during these three weeks Sungjae was at its lowest point. Krystal comes to see him and tells Sungjae the scariest truth.
His father is still alive and now taken prisoner by Vampaneze, they want Sungjae to come and exchange his own life for his father's life. Not only that, Krystal is furious when she finds out Sungjae saved a human and let his power disappear, the clan sign on Chorong's neck is the source of Sungjae's power that he must suck, and the clan's name is, so that Sungjae can live again and save his father.
“You fool! You'll die if you don't take his blood! He's outcast you, his blood can save you!” krystal joltted with her heavy and firm voice, Chorong would be easily intimidated to hear it. But more than that, Chorong stared curiously at Sungjae about what Krystal was talking about. Why Sungjae should die. “You save people and lose strength, it weakens you, not a year in a few days you will die and melt. Then what about your father, are you going to let him die by them?” with all his strength Chorong got up, Sungjae looked at him anxiously especially with injuries all over his body due to friction of twigs and soil.
“Are you really going to die?” chorong asked stifled, shocked and sad.
“Yes, and he has to take your blood to live!” Krystal strangled Chorong's neck strongly, Sungjae reacted quickly to throw the hand away and made himself a shield as their barrier, staring intently at Krystal. Chorong coughed, the chuckle was really strong and certainly could easily break her neck, could Chorong make sure the red marks were clearly visible.
“Let me talk to him.” A request that was actually an expulsion for Krystal, Sungjae meant it. In the look in his eyes he hopes Krystal gives Sungjae confidence and opportunity. Realizing, and feeling useless after persuading her for 3 whole weeks, Krystal turned rude and left. Sungjae is Pearl, a vampire who is close to him and too kind. He always accompanied and comforted Krystal under any circumstances. And it was natural that Krystal was very sad and angry at Sungjae who did not comply.
Left alone, Sungjae this time faced Chorong.
“You are hurt,” regrets Sungjae, Chorong looks at him fiercely, angry because he has been lied to. He said he'd never met another vampire, and he was fine after losing his powers, but he was going to die. And Chorong never knew the lie.
“Go and Live! You have to save your father, I should have died by then if there wasn't you. It's better,” is depressed, Sungjae feels his heart strongly rejecting that remark. Chorong was seen revealing her long black hair to the other shoulder, showing her white neck which Sungjae said there was a clan sign there. “Take my blood! That way I will feel relieved to meet Himchan and the others, hurry up!” Chorong tried hard, although he was frightened, sad and disappointed, he tried to show a confident look. Staring at the man who had been accompanying him more than his family he had never known, treating him gently and sincerely more than Himchan, was, and always make him flutter as he tries to behave into an ordinary man who is considerate and romantic. Although they never laughed merrily, Chorong could smile again because of her, who always reminded them that their death was not her fault.
“Yook Sungjae-ssi, thank you.” Chorong said as he drew closer to Sungjae, nodding to give confidence if this was the best. Sungjae must have wanted to save his father who he thought had died a long time ago, and find out who his birth mother was, even though it had become bones he would have wanted to visit his grave, and Chorong knew of his feelings. Because every night he also wants to meet his parents, which is why he does not want to have a serious relationship with any man if for a moment.
‘I heard they met and accidentally did it in one day, then mom gave birth to me and dumped me into an orphanage. Even so I want to meet with them, to ask what is my fault so that it must be thrown away, is it because I am a mistake?’ Sungjae did not dare to look into Chorong's eyes, Chorong's words were ringing in his mind at this time. Who says if a vampire doesn't have a heart, he's as hurt as Chorong, and even more sorry for not being able to stop this. If his father had not been captured, he would have chosen to die slowly.
“Sungjae-ya, please!” Chorong lowered her head against Sungjae's chest with both hands shaking. He cannot leave a second Chorong in his life, who can never meet his parents and ask questions.
“This is my farewell, forget everything and live well because you are not a mistake.” Sungjae smiles before leaving the slumped Chorong. His body felt tired and limp, his defense collapsed. Chorong crouched down and covered her face, crying in silence.
Part 7: Epilogue ‘Life’
The girl bent her face earlier and was lazy to do anything, she just sat back in front of the television waiting for the news she had expected since one year ago, but until now it had never happened. Sungjae never existed and it is unknown whether he saved his father and lived happily or died in the flames like his comrades used to. Vampires don't often burn the bodies of other vampires, break their necks or pierce their hearts with silver daggers. I don't know that Chorong doesn't know anything.
Park Chorong turned into another girl, more reserved and often aloof, she even always went on adventures to unexpected places, and this time she visited the ruined villa, which she had been living in, thinking of his meeting with Sungjae during a car accident, and running from Vampaneze.
“Sunbae [Senior], are you okay? I visited you, I'm sorry I couldn't help you. And look, I'm living the way you want me to, but, why do I feel like I'm not living. I lost myself.” Chorong's story in casual intonation but sounds bitter, “The man left without giving me a chance to apologize, for not being able to help him.”
Tracing the streets in a car as the sky started to darken, Chorong stopped somewhere, got out of the car and walked among the tall trees. No matter what he just wanted to keep going, his heart demanded that he go to that place, where he and Sungjae fell from a height on a tragic night. Stopping there, his body froze, he saw someone on his back sucking deer blood. Highlight his once terrified eyes turned wary, thinking
probable. The vampire stopped his nose feeling the scent of a human, he turned around quickly and was shocked. Saphire Blue's eyes were bright, pale face and all-black clothes, clearly she was Sungjae, with a mouth full of blood.
Their eyes met, implying a question and shock tucked away happily. They were found again in different situations. The night Sungjae runs away to save his father without power, Krystal comes and guesses what happened. Sungjae never wanted to kill a human, let alone the girl he loved. Like the ropes of the past, his father also used to like a human who had a clan sign to break the rules. And Krystal decides to turn herself in so Sungjae takes as much blood from her as he wants. Making Sungjae as Slave, a vampire who survives by drinking vampire blood at high risk, Sungjae can never come into contact with sunlight, he must also obey Krystal as his master. But he stopped drinking Krystal's blood after three months, preferring to drink animal blood because he didn't want Krystal to be weak, no matter if it didn't give him much strength.
While his father, had become months of Vampaneze and died tragically. As a result, the Vampires, Dracula, Jiang-shi and other Dhampire hiding attacked Vampaneze for angrily killing the origin vampire, a great war ensued. Yang Sungjae knew that Vampaneze was seriously injured and lost part of his group, until now there was no news.
Sungjae still survives, he lives as a vampire and Chorong, the girl right in front of him, still alive as a human, looks fine. Slowly Chorong lowered his head to hide his happy face, after torturing himself to find out and walking alone like a fool, he was finally reunited with Sungjae. And hope everything is okay. Chorong thought he'd been stuck with Sungjae since that night.
