Foreword
There was a woman namely Taeyeon, she was in her 17th of age, a receiver, the lowest rank in the society. In a minimun of two weeks, she'll turn to 18. The age she feared the most, but time was against her as it flows quickly like sand inside a hour glass.
She feared becoming 18 for only one reason.
She had a curse.
She remembers clearly what will happen if anyone in the their blood turned into 18. They'll become monsters. She is indeed a receiver, a rank which is only known to produce babies. But with a curse, she is more than a receiver.
She harms the acceptor, the rank in the society which was the highest. Every receiver or acceptor in their blood hormones increase. They become lustful and wants to fill their desires immediately. When she reaches her birthday, she'll find any acceptor that comes in her mind until she gets what she wants. In the situation, the acceptor was the prey, the receiver was the predator. It's like the whole situation in between the two ranks had become opposites- well only in their cursed race.
No this wasn't a gift for Taeyeon. It is called a curse for a reason. The acceptor she's been in love with since childhood is in danger. She'll know when the time comes, she'll be searching for him. It terrifies her, but the signs of the curse will cease once she gets what she wants. If the acceptors makes it out alive. The curse continues itself until she dies.
Tick tock tick tock
The old clock inside the living room rang. The minute hand and hour hand of the clock pointing directly at 12. Showing it was the 9th of March, Taeyeon's body immediately rises from her bed. Shoving the cheap comforters out of her body, her brain possessed her body as she go all numb.
"Nianzu..." she whispers the name of her acceptor as she walked out of her house bare-footed. Her legs leading her to the place where the lover of her life is.
Nianzu was sleeping restlessly on his bed. Tugging the comforters to keep him warm, he didn't know what will come ahead of him. As a figure of a girl comes in sight standing on his balcony. The door to the balcony where opened carelessly, letting the cold breeze of the night come inside the whole room.
Taeyeon was staring at the sleeping-figure with lustful eyes. The girl was obviously possessed by the curse.
Nianzu groans in his sleep, feeling the shivers throughout his body. He feels cold, really cold. And somewhat uncomfortable, like someone was staring at him. He opens his eyes, lazily walking to the balcony door. He was about to slide close the door when he sees a familiar figure standing on his balcony.
He had known the girl for 8 years now, and it was easy to tell if she was his lover.
"Taeyeon? What time is it, I don't know you'll come visit today..." Nianzu takes a step forward, "It's really cold outside, go inside Tae."
Still, she didn't answered. It made Nianzu worry.
"Tae? Stop standing there and say something. Its so cold--"
Before he could even finish his sentence, the girl already tackled him, making him fall to the hard concrete floor.
"Tae! What the !?"
As he looks at the girl's eyes, his own eyes widens. This wasn't the eyes he had known when he first met her. In fact, this eyes were so different that he didn't recognize his receiver anymore.
"Nianzu..." Taeyeon let outs a small dark chuckle. Making Nianzu push her of his body and groggily stands up to run away.
"No! Tae, don't touch me until you come back to normal!"
Then realization hits him, the rumours, the whispers, it was all true.
Yet his love for Taeyeon made him ignore those rumors. Love had made him blind. The rumors-all the gossips, it was all true.
"Get away from me! Yo-You're a monster!"
This was his chance to escape, but his heart didn't listen when he hears Taeyeon sob.
"I thought you said you loved me Nianzu, are... Are you pushing me away? Like anybody does? Do you hate me now?"
The words she said- it made him weak. He looks at Taeyeon who was leaning down to face the floor, tears forming down her cheeks.
"Tae, I'm sorry. You just scared me. Of course I love you, don't cry. Just don't scare me again next time."
Nianzu comes closer as he embrace the receiver in his arms. It was peacefully quiet, Taeyeon grasps Nianzu's hair softly.
"Thank you... For understanding..."
The grip on his hair tightens, making Nianzu scream in pain.
"Now. Let's have fun, love."
Taeyeon was holding her first baby, the baby she treasures the most in her doomed life. She cries holding the baby as she kneels in front of his tombstone.
"I'm sorry Nianzu."
The baby in her grasps starts crying as his mother smiles sadly at the child.
"Luhan, meet your father. I'm sorry mommy killed him. Mommy's a monster."
Baby Luhan continues to cry as Taeyeon cries along with him.
Right after the incident, she meets a guy while buying baby products for Luhan.
"Need any help with those?"
A man said, smiling cutely with his owl-like eyes.
"No thankyou, I'm fine."
"Are you alone?"
Taeyeon nods, "I'm Do Dongsoo by the way. Nice to meet you."
Taeyeon was afraid, she tried, she really did. But she fell in love with him.
When the time her birthday strikes, it came out with the same result.
She had another baby, another one, another one, and another one.
When her last love falls dead on her arms she cries.
After giving birth to Zitao, she commits suicide without thinking of her six children. Yes, she was selfish. But she gave up trying, the curse wasn't helping either. She had enough seeing the man she loves dies by her own hands.
"Mommy how could you do this."
Do Kyungsoo, 5 years of age, the second eldest says as he cries, moarning for his mother's death. Luhan comes beside him as he cries along with Kyungsoo.
"Hyung, what will we do now?"
"Our... Our brothers..."
Xi Luhan, 6 years of age, the eldest, hugs Kyungsoo crying along with him.
"We need to take care of them Kyungsoo. They need us. Our dongsaengs needs us."
"Baekhyun's sick hyung, we don't have money to buy him medicine..."
"I-I'll find a way..."
"I'll help you, hyung. I promise."
