Episode 1

In a small town in Seoul, every person and every neighbour talked amongst each other about the new friendly faces in town. A 17 year old teenager named Lilac Uri woke up to a text from her best friend, Kirai Laira.

"Hey, wake up Lilac! School is in half an hour, meet me out the front of the school. Kirai 😊"

Lilac began to rub her eyes, getting up slowly while smelling the air which was immediately filled with Rice and Egg. "Ahh... I love the smell of Rice and Egg in the morning.."

Her aunt, Shira Uri was cooking and making breakfast, looking over at the stairs seeing Lilac walking down.

"Its about time you woke up, I was about to come in an wake you up myself." Lilac walked over in pink shorts and a white singlet. "Yeah, sorry.. I slept late last night".

Lilac sat down at the table with a bowl of breakfast in front of her. Shira sat down in front of her and began eating, talking with her mouth half full, " Hey have you heard? There's new boy going to your school. Apparently the family just moved here."

Lilac looked up at her and sighed, "Greaat... And why is that important?". Shira looked at her and smiled, " I'm just saying.. Everyone is talking about it.".

Lilac finished everything on her plate and got up. "Right well... I'm going to get dressed for school otherwise Kirai is going to blow like a chimney."

At the school, its at least a few moments before school started and Lilac was just arriving while Kirai ran up to her, giving her a huge hug.

"Lil! You came! I was getting worried that you weren't going to be here today..". Lilac hugged her back and smiled unhappily, " That was the plan but of course I couldn't ditch you.. Besides there's a new boy here today.."

The bell had rung as everyone began rushing to class. As Lilac was walking with Kirai, she noticed a tall blonde haired boy at the reception to enrol in school, overhearing them talk.

"So this is your time table, your first class is just over there. Room 2-A" Said the reception with red hair and glasses. Then hearing his voice, "Alright, thank you..".

Lilac had never heard anything so soft but deep. The boy turned around and noticed her staring, smiling at her and walking to the room 2-A. Lilac walked in moments after him and sat beside Kirai. "I think my day just got worse by the seconds..", Kirai looked at her and was puzzled by her words, soon noticing the new boy staring at Lilac. " Is he the reason why? Because he's staring at you right now."

Lilac looked back at the new boy and noticed him smirking. "He's creeping me out.. Almost like he wants to kill me." Kirai laughed at her comment and began to listen to the teacher.

Later at lunch, Kirai and Lilac were sitting down together on their own in the cafeteria. Lilac got up and looked at Kirai, "Hey I'm going to get something to eat, your food is making me hungry..". Kirai looked up at her and smiled brightly, "Alright, hurry back then. I don't want to be alone at a table."

Lilac patted her head and walked off to the canteen, grabbing herself a tray and looking through the glass of food. When she got towards the end, the new boy was there with his tray and was stopping her from continuing. "Hi, sorry I never introduced myself, I'm Teray Hira" he looked at her in the eyes.

Lilac looked at his eyes and noticed how blue they were, getting sidetracked she shook her head and looked back at her tray. "H..Hi.. I'm Lilac Uri", Lilac replied with a tremble in her voice. Teray smiled at her response and looked at her tray of food, "You like rice and egg?" He questioned her. Lilac moved past him and paid for her lunch, "Yes.. Why?" She responded back defensively. He laughed and paid for his food, "I haven't seen anyone have Rice and Egg since I visited Japan."

Lilac went wide eyed and gulps, "Ah.. Well I have to get back to my friend so... It was nice to talk to you, Teray.."

After school, Kirai noticed that Lilac seemed very aware. "Lil, are you okay? You seem worried?", Lilac looks at her and started to fidget. "I am worried.. That new guy is really fishy... Is it just me or does it seem like he looks young but like old?". Kirai looked at Teray from across the field, "I find him quite cute, he looks like an angel--" Kirai was cut off mid-sentence as Lilac looked at her, "Kirai, focus.." Kirai nodded, "Ah right.. Sorry".

Teray decided to walk over with his hands in his pockets and sunglasses on, "Lilac, I'd like to invite you to my home. Get to know each other.". Lilac went wide eyed, looking up at him. " Ah.. I can't.. I have to be home right away." She replied with sudden terror in her face.

Teray gripped her hand and walked her to his car, moving her in the car before quickly getting in himself. Lilac began to panic and trying to open the doors soon realising that the doors were indeed locked. "What the hell are you doing?! I don't wanna die I'm only 17!". Teray chuckled lightly and began driving to his place, "Easy, Uri. Like I said I just want to invite you over and why would you think that I'm going to kill you? I don't have any weapons?".

Lilac sat there thinking about what he said and sighed, looking out the window then looking at him, "So, why am I being invited to your house?". He kept his eyes on the road and smiled at her question. " I just thought it'd be nice to have a girl over for once."

They pulled up to a mansion that was dark oak, iron rails, big long glass windows in the middle of a forest, it was almost magical or hidden.

Teray got out and unlocked the doors, opening it for her, "Welcome to the Hira Mansion..". Lilac got out and watched his every move before taking a look at the house in front of her, her jaw dropped and looked around to see where she was. "This is a forest?! And you live here? Its so peaceful.. No traffic no people..", Teray chuckled and moved his hand on her lower back with the other hand showing her the way inside, "This way..".

Lilac walked with him and before walking in Teray opened the door for her. "You're quite the gentleman, not many of those around. "

She walked in and looked around, "Woah... Cosy..", Teray smiled and walked her upstairs but before they could get to the living room there was a man with a tall figure, black hair and glowing red eyes. "Dont startle the guest, Nevark..", Teray spoke with an annoyed tone.

Nevark moved closer towards them, his eyes stopped glowing. "My apologies.. I didn't think you could bring a girl home?".

Lilac was puzzled but aware of the situation she was in, " Y..You aren't going to kill me are you? Please tell me you are wearing eye contacts, its impossible..". Nevark looked at Teray, "You brought her here without asking? Seriously you can't follow one human rule?.."

He spoke in such a well mannered tone followed by an annoyed grunt, "I'm so sorry, my dear. My idiot brother doesn't usually do this and he never listened to our mentor. Are you alright? Your heart is beating quite fast..".

He moved closer but with each step he took forward, Lilac moved backward away from them into a different room, "Wh...What are you?! You are both creeping me out and I just want to go home! ...". Lilac looked around the room and saw many books, almost reminding her of a library. "I... I'm in a dream.. I swear I'm dreaming.. Lilac wake up, those manga's are messing with your head!". Teray was confused on why Lilac was feeling this way, looking at his brother and had feelings of frustration.

Nevark rushed over as Lilac began to get so overwhelmed with everything happening that she just began to faint.
