Chapter 1

''Have you heard the news?''

''Yes! Yes, I have!''

''They're sooo gross aren't they?''

''Yeah, I know...''

--

They're here. I'm here. But why are they talking like the one that they're talking about is nowhere in sight?...

Oh, right...

Cause they don't know....

No body knows...

No body has to know...

Wondering what they're talking about? Well, I guess you'll have to find out by yourself, too...

Creatures like me...

We tend to hide our identity...

What's that?

You have an idea?

Well, that's great! But...

Aren't you frightened?

The mere fact that you're here, sitting infront of your computer and reading about me...

Aren't you frightened of who I might be?

Cause, everyone is...

No one wants to befriend me, and I don't want to befriend them....

'Why?' you ask?

Well.... 

A creature like me... 

And creatures like them...

don't fit...

I don't fit with every aspect of their lives...

except for one crucial part where I'd have to take their life...

But that's for later on in this story....

You'll know about me soon...

'lower your gaze...' my mind thought as I walked through a well-lit corridor, clutching my bag strap with one hand and holding my books in the other hand. I subconciously fixed my hair and let my fringe get the most part of my face as I entered the room.

Gasps and whispers were heard as I looked down, avoiding their gaze. I couldn't help but feel quite uncomfortable about them, staring at me.

''Well, Introduce yourself, young miss.'' our professor said, making me face my new classmates. Here I go...

''Annyeonghaseyo... Seo Joohyun imnida...'' my mouth blurted as I slowly placed my hand on my stomach and bowed to them in a slight 90 degree. 

After my brief introduction, I could hear whispers echoing around the room, mostly from male students. I couldn't help but feel more uncomfortable as a group of guys suddenly approached me. But the teacher shooed them away for me.

''Ms. Seo, would you like to tell us more about yourself?'' the teacher asked, and that question went through me like a bullet train. Of course, I wouldn't tell them... But there's something inside me that makes me want to tell them... To let them know, somehow... 

But I can't.

''I'm sorry, but may I just take a seat?'' I asked bluntly, and I think that the whisperings just got louder by what I said. The professor straightened his face and looked around the room for a vacant seat. The room at the back had quite a lot of vacant seats... I wonder why they weren't occupied by the students? 

The teacher gestured me to go and sit at the back part of the room, at the chair beside the large window. Its funny how mostly the characters from famous mangas would always sit by the window, I guess its just a coincidence.

I clutched my stuff in my hands and walked mildly to my designated seat. I could feel people staring at me, I could even hear them whispering my name as if they're trying to memosrize it. Its kinda creepy, but I can handle it.

The moment I sat on my chair, the door of the classroom banged open but I couldn't care less to look at it. 'Poor door...' I thought as I stare out the window, clearly not minding the chaos infront of class.

--

I was still looking out the window when suddenly, I felt a nudge at the top part of my right shoulder. I abruptly took a look at who might that person who poked me. But to my surprise, as I turned to face the person, I was welcomed by twelve confused faces. Surely, I didn't know who they were and I didn't even notice how my face was awestrucked as well. You know why? Cause they're undeniably handsome.

''Excuse me?'' one of them said, the tall guy with blonde hair. ''That's my seat.'' 

I looked up at him, only to find myself staing at him longer. I only stopped as the teacher cleared his throat and I swiftly picked up my stuff and cleared the table, when he suddenly held my hand to stop me.

''Maknae's hitting on the new girl, huh?'' I heard one of them whisper and it made me blush. I looked at front, to the class before looking back at the guy. 

''What?'' I hissed, sounding more accusing than it shouldn't have. He did the same thing I did before sitting down quietly on the seat beside me. ''You can have that seat, I'm bored with
