The new student
Seoul International High School, South Korea
Eunji Kim, 17, walked through the bustling hallways, her long black hair swaying behind her. She had just transferred to this school, eager for a fresh start.
As she entered her new classroom, all eyes turned to her. Eunji's heart fluttered.
Teacher
"Welcome, Eunji," *smiling*
"Please take a seat."
Eunji spotted an empty chair beside a boy with piercing blue eyes and chiseled features. He seemed... different.
Joon
"Hi"
*he said softly, as Eunji sat down*
Eunji
"I'm Eunji,"
*she replied, feeling a blush rise.*
Joon
"I'm Joon,"
*he said, his gaze lingering on hers.*
Throughout the day, Eunji noticed Joon's peculiar behavior:
- He avoided direct sunlight.
- He wore gloves indoors.
- His eyes seemed to gleam in the dark.
After school, Eunji stumbled upon Joon in the empty cafeteria.
Eunji
You're... different,"
*Eunji said, her voice barely above a whisper.*
Joon
*Joon's eyes locked onto hers.*
"You've noticed."
Eunji
*Eunji's heart pounded.*
"What are you?"
Joon
*Joon's smile revealed razor-sharp fangs.*
"I'm a vampire."
Eunji gasped, shocked yet intrigued.
Joon
"Don't be afraid,"
*Joon said, his voice soothing.*
"I won't harm you."
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the school, Eunji felt an inexplicable connection to Joon.
Joon
"Why did you transfer here?"
*Joon asked, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.*
Eunji
*Eunji hesitated before answering,*
"I wanted to escape my past."
Joon
*Joon's expression softened.*
"I understand."
As they walked out of the cafeteria together, Eunji realized she was drawn to Joon's mysterious world.
Joon
Be careful around me,"
*Joon whispered, his breath cold against her ear.*
"I'm still learning to control myself."
Eunji's heart skipped a beat. She felt a thrill of excitement mixed with fear.
