Hallucinating
Vampire in Love 2Fany: I know them... I think...
Uee: Can we just go?
Uee pulls at her arm but Fany shakes her off.
Fany: I want to see something.
Much to Kahi and Uee's frustration, Fany begins to cross the street toward the guys, frightened but drawn.
Guy #1: Alright, we got a taker.
The apparition of Taeyeon reappears in her path this time. She stops.
Tae: Turn around, Fany-ah. This is dangerous.
But when she steps backward, he fades. Testing her hallucination, she strides forward again, his apparition reappears, strides alongside her
Taeyeon: Stop. Now.
She’s almost smiling as she reaches the four guy's, finally able to see them clearly and stops, realizing
Fany: ... You’re not them.
And with that, Taeyeon disappears.
GUY #1: We’ll be whoever you want, honey.
Guy #2 pulls up right next to her on his motorcycle.
GUY #2: Ready for a thrill ride?
GUY #2 extends his hand to help her onto the bike. She hesitates.
Taeyeon: Walk away. Leave now!
Taeyeon’s apparition appears on the other side of the bike. Fany looks at him with determination then climbs onto the back of the bike.
Fany: I can break promises, too.
GUY #2(confused): ... Okay.
Kahi: Tiff!
Uee: What are you doing?
The bike moves forward, going way too fast. As the wind blasts her hair back, she realizes this might have been a mistake.
Fany: ... Wait
Guy #2 doesn’t hear her, guns the engine, going faster. She sees Taeyeon standing on the road, directly in their path, more present, and more clear than ever. The bike’s headlight illuminates him, racing toward him.
Fany: Stop - stop! STOP!
The bike abruptly pulls up short.
GUY #2: Hey, I didn’t force nothing on you.
Fany scrambles off, stumbling in the process. Taeyeon is gone. The four guys then take of on their bikes. Tiffany watches them go as Kahi and Uee storm up to her.
Kahi: What the hell is wrong with you?!
Fany(almost to herself): I... saw something.
Uee: You are insane. Or suicidal.
Fany(trying to figure it out): The more dangerous... the more real it was.
Kahi: So, what, you’re like an adrenaline junky now? Go hang gliding or bungee jumping. Don’t be a complete freak.
Uee: Kahi!
An angry Jessica charges off and Uee follows behind. Tiffany watches the motorcycles disappear down the street.
Tiffany: He wasn’t real. I knew that. I didn’t care. I needed to see him. If danger’s what it took, that’s what I’d find.
