A Song for the Eternal Ones
Episode 2 — The Vampire’s Claim, the golden eyes
The rehearsal room was empty.
My members had gone home early, but I stayed behind to practice.
The strange song I sang last night kept looping in my head.
I hummed the melody softly, almost afraid of my own voice.
That’s when the lights flickered.
I called out, but my voice trembled.
The mirror in front of me reflected something impossible.
A tall man—lean, broad-shouldered, with black hair that shimmered unnaturally—was standing behind me.
I spun around, but there was no sound of footsteps.
Lucian
“So fragile… and yet you dared to summon us.”
His voice was deep, velvet, dangerous.
Jung Haneul
“Wh-Who are you? How did you get in here?”
I stepped back, hitting the wall.
My heart raced like I was still on stage.
Lucian
“You know me. Somewhere inside, your soul remembers.”
His presence swallowed the room—predatory, commanding.
I couldn’t look away from those golden eyes.
Lucian
“I am Lucian. The one your song called first. And you—”
He raised a hand, brushing his knuckles against my cheek.
Jung Haneul
“Y-yours? Are you insane? I’m just—”
He leaned in, lips almost touching my ear.
Lucian
“Not just an idol. You are the chosen star. The one destined to belong to us.”
For a moment, I thought he might kiss me right there.
But instead, he smirked and stepped back, eyes flashing dangerously.
Lucian
“The others will come for you soon. Remember this—out of all of them, I found you first.”
Like smoke dissolving into the air.
I collapsed against the mirror, shaking, clutching my chest.
What was happening to me?
And who were the others he spoke of?
