Hana was sure that she had understood him wrong. She was pretty sure of that, that's why she backed off immediately. A frown appeared on Luhan's face, and he tilted his head. “Did I say something wrong?” All of sudden, Hana turned around so that he couldn't see her heavy red glowing face. “Hana?” She flinched as he put his hand on her shoulder. “Hana, did I say something wrong?” Hana walked away a bit, before she answered, “NO! Uhm, I mean...” Actually, Hana couldn't say anything at all since she couldn't grab a single thought.

He just confessed, and she couldn't even give him a proper answer because she was simply not able to. “Hana,” Luhan said again, but then they heard a scream. The two of them were on alert immediately, and they pushed every feeling aside. “This way.” Luhan took the lead and followed the voice immediately. It was a woman's cry, and it definitely belonged to a Vampire.

Again, that scream could be heard and Hana noticed the change of her surroundings the nearer they came to the source of the scream. “The slums,” she whispered. Gone were the modern and clean buildings; dirt and poverty welcomed her. “So, something like this also exists amongst the Vampires?” A sad expression appeared on Luhan's face and again, there was this guilt in his eyes.

I can fight for my own.” A small pause between the two. before Luhan linked their fingers and kissed the back of her hand. “I know. Of course, I know that.”

Another scream interrupted them, and Hana nodded at Luhan. As fast as they could, they tried to make out where the scream came from. “Over there!” Hana pointed at a dark and gloomy looking house, in which they immediately went. “No! Please, no!” It sounded like the woman would beg someone. “Mama!” Hana's eyes widened, and she didn't care anymore if anyone watched or not.

Something inside her completely turned off as she heard the kid's scream and the door shattered as she pushed it open. A woman, she was definitely a Vampire, laid on the ground, her ribs, arms and neck bleeding, yet the wounds slowly healed. A man stood in front of her, holding a young girl, by , up in the air. “Eh,
