_Episode 3: Shadowed Past_

The stranger's warning sent a chill down Eunji's spine.

Eunji

"Who are you?"

Min-Soo

"I'm Min-Soo," *he replied, eyes fixed on Joon.* "A fellow vampire. And a friend from Joon's past."

Joon

*Joon's expression darkened.* "Min-Soo, leave Eunji alone."

Min-Soo

*Min-Soo sneered.* "You're putting her in danger, Joon. You know the Council won't approve."

Eunji

*Eunji's confusion grew.* "What Council?"

Joon

*Joon hesitated before answering,* "The Vampire Council. They govern our kind."

As Min-Soo vanished into the night, Eunji felt a shiver.

Eunji

"Joon, what's going on?"

Joon

*Joon sighed.* "My past is complicated. Min-Soo was part of my life... before I left the Council."

The next day, Eunji met two new students:

- Ji-Hyun: A bubbly, fashion-forward student who becomes Eunji's friend. - Tae-Oh: A brooding, athletic student with a mysterious connection to Joon.

During lunch, Ji-Hyun gossiped about Tae-Oh.

Tea-oh

"Rumor has it, he's connected to the city's underworld."

Eunji's curiosity piqued, she approached Tae-Oh.

Eunji

"Tae-Oh, what's your connection to Joon?"

Tea-oh

*Tae-Oh's eyes narrowed.* "Let's just say we share a common enemy."

As Eunji walked home with Joon, Min-Soo reappeared.

Min-Soo

"Eunji, come with me," *Min-Soo said, his eyes gleaming.* "I'll show you Joon's true nature."

Eunji hesitated.

Joon

"Trust me," * Joon whispered, his hand brushing against hers.*
