Myungsoo growl stepping out towards the back of the school. It was lunch hour but he needed some fresh air. He cracked his neck, which help relieve him of the stress.

Through being around Naeun, talking to Naeun was amazing her blood cried out to them and drove him insane.

It wasn't that he wasn't use to crowded environments such as schools, but it was this town in particular that got to him. It was certain circumstances of Seoul. It was the blood of the original founding families. It was the blood of Son Naeun.

Her sweet, rich blood craved towards him begging and praying at him to be drank. Blood was as delectable as fine wine or it could be pure addictive poison. Naeun's blood had it's own unique scent like the world's finest wine; sweet, rich, pure, yet bitter and dark. It could drive him into a mad man it not taken care of carefully.

It wasn't only hers. It was also Jung Eunji and Park Chorong. He knew that when around them his animalistic instincts were daring to step forward and take over. And if so, the town was doom to his hungry beast-like conquest of pure, human, flowing blood.

His senses went up when he heard the soft foot steps stepping towards him. He quickly put his guard down however. He knew the footsteps all to well. From the dark shadows two figures stepped up.

"Yeah, so you needed some air too, didn't you?" Woohyun asked noticing Myungsoo staring back. Myungsoo didn't reply, but he didn't need to.

All three were feeling the same. They were drained out of energy, which only meant sooner or later they would start getting hungry. And hungry vampires, in a school full of naive teenagers, that was mixing fire and ice together.
 

"What's been with you?" Hoya asked bluntly. He had been noticing Myungsoo's rather odd ways the last few days since they arrived. Myungsoo had always been an odd one, but never like this. Just this morning he had suddenly disappeared without even giving word to neither Woohyun or Hoya.

"Nothing....Curiosity, you can say...it's been getting to me." He replied, Hoya frown. What kind of answer was that? Myungsoo often spoke in phrases of incomplete word forms, it frustrated Hoya while Woohyun ignored Myungsoo's unique way of...well, whatever it was.

"Whatever, man. Just don't let it get to you." He answered back letting the thought brush off his mind, for now.

"Ah! I don't know how I'm going to survive lunch hour." Woohyun confessed, he was obviously disturbed. The other two looked from one another back to the vampire tugging his hair out right now, his brows narrowed together and his eyes a dark, almost pure shade of the darkest grey pierced towards the sky.

"And why's that?' Hoya asked, he was quite interested at the answer that would be given back.

"Guess who I promise I would sit with at lunch hour." Woohyun replied back. Crap. Hoya and Myungsoo only took a moment to soak the information in before they understood perfectly what he had meant.

"I'm going to kill you man." Myungsoo growl.

"After I do." Hoya bugged in throwing a light punch at the vampire.

 

 

  Naeun looked around the cafeteria. It was lunchtime and she would usually sit with Eunji and Chorong, both of whom decided to show up late today it seems. She glanced around for the two girls, disappointed when she didn't see them.
 

She wasn't hungry, more like playing with her food. Her aunt always complained, she said that playing with food was a bad habit.
 

When the two girls finally showed up, Naeun couldn't help but be the least shock. Following Eunji and Chorong were the already famous new kids.
 

"Sit Woohyun-shi. " Eunji announced politely at Woohyun. He boy nodded with a sneer taking his seat. Hoya and Myungsoo did the same also. Chorong took her seat beside Naeun and Eunji on the other side of her.
 

Turns out Chorong had class with Nam Woohyun. Being the social butterfly she was, Chorong quickly invited him and his friends to sit with the girls at lunch for their first day. Naeun couldn't say anything back, it was just like Chorong to do something like this.
 

"Naeun, meet the new students. Woohyun, Hoya, and Myungsoo." Chorong introduced one by one. Myungsoo gave her a small smile.
 

"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Naeun." Naeun introduced herself politely, she was trying her best to avoid eye contract with Myungsoo for reasons even she didn't quite understand.
 

"You're in my Bio class, aren't you?" Woohyun pointed out. Naeun smiled, at least he recognized her.
 

"Yes, I am." Naeun replied. The conversations continued, the only people talking were mostly Chorong and Woohyun. The two seemed to really click. Eunji was quiet, she was munching down her lunch. Naeun couldn't help but noticed how little all three of the new kids ate.
 

Unlike Woohyun who seemed hyper and cheerful, Hoya and Myungsoo where quiet. Yes, they conversed every now and then when Chorong asked a question, but their answers always remained short and vague. Then again, she too wasn't in the mood for talking right now.
 

Myungsoo was, well she wouldn't say staring, more like constantly gazing at her. She started playing with her hair, another of her many habits, because of how uncomfortable her skin would crawl when she felt his intense glare on her.
 

"So, where are you all from?" Chorong brought up. Naeun's head shot up, she was kept interested in their answers. She examined the three as they exchanged looks, almost as if reading each other's minds.
 

"We're from....you know, here, there, we moved around a lot." Woohyun answered her question, vaguely, to Naeun's disappointment.
 

"We heard the three of you are part of the town's originally families, correct?" Eunji raised the question up. Again, Naeun noticed the quick looks between the three as if deciding on how they should answer. She found is strange, but brushed the thought off her mind.
 

"Yes, we are. All three of us lived in Seoul, a long, long time ago, when we were really young." Woohyun answered. Chorong nodded her head. Naeun noticed her good friend pout, then biting her lower lip. Something was wrong, Naeun noticed that Chorong had caught onto to some kind of information. She made a mental note to ask Chorong later.
 

"Ah-" Eunji winced in pain bringing the attention to her. Naeun looked over to her friend with a small cut on her hand, she had accidentally spiced herself with a knife she was using.
 

"Eunji, you have to be more careful." Chorong ranted as she quickly reacted grabbing a napkin. Naeun noticed something really odd. Her eyes focused onto the new kids. Woohyun stared at Eunji with the oddest look in his eyes. His whole body stiffen into a board. Naeun froze for a second, she swore she saw his eyes flash into pure black. She blinked.
 

Maybe it was just her imagination. She took another quick glance as she saw Woohyun's brown orbs, there were completely normal, other than the fact that he was eyeing down Eunji. She took a glance at Hoya. His face had on an unbreakable stone-cold mask, this eyes directly pointed towards Eunji who was to preoccupied with rants coming from Chorong about how careless she could be, to notice.
 

Naeun gulped. Strange, really strange.
 

Her eyes widen as she noticed a certain figure was gone. Naeun wasn't one to doubt her sanity, but something about these guys wore her off like no one or nothing else could. Myungsoo had suddenly disappeared. He had been there a moment ago.
 

How did he leave without no one noticing, when did he leave?
--
 

Myungsoo caught his breath. He panted. He was catching his breath. His legs were bearing the weight of his body as he tried not to fall on the ground, suffocating from the immense amount of thirst his body craved at this second. He stayed there for a while, breath ragged as he panted away his fatigue.
 

She just had to cut herself, he cursed. The girl was asking to be his dinner. He groan as he realized he had to be back in the crowded cafeteria soon. The same cafeteria with fresh flowing blood and three certain little girls, whose blood, more than anything called out to him.
 

Out of all three of the sworn brothers, Myungsoo had the least amount of control when it came to blood. Sure, he could managed to keep his sanity at the sight of blood, but blood of an original family member. It a like honey and bees.
 

He waited as his breathing began to grow back to normal. He was fine, for now. Hungry. But okay. Okay enough to walk back in there and pretend like nothing happened.
 

He finally turned around, ready to make his way back in when he suddenly stopped, dead in his tracks. Meeting eye and eye with her honey brown orbs he found his thirst quickly diminished as his humanly senses found their way back into his system. He glanced at her, scrutinizing every detail about her face.
 

It was eyes that hypnotized him, and he found himself speechless. He just simply stared into those brown orbs, drowning himself.
 

Wondering, what secrets they held? What pain could she possibly feel in her short 17 years on earth?  They were so open, so clear, even more innocent up close. They were strong, as strong as her soul. He sensed pain, a deep level of pain and confusion within her. They held the pain of the world. Yet, her care was so intact, unwilling to remove itself. Determination, faith, hope, love, he read all her emotions in moments. In the end, he labeled Naeun as someone really complicated.
 

He found it amusing, the weight she carried. The fake smiles she made, it was all lies.
 

"Myungsoo-shi." She muttered. Shivers ran up and down her spine. He didn't reply at first but quickly shook his head indicating a yes.
 

"What, what are you doing out here?" He asked, his attention back onto her and reality. Cold. Sharp. Uncommitted. All words describing his tone. His voice had come off harsher than clearly intended.
 

"Just looking for you. You suddenly disappeared." She croaked she was taken a back by his harsh tone.
 

"Ah." He sigh. "I'm fine. Just needed some air. We should be getting inside. The others will start wondering where we had gone." He reminded his voice lighter. She nodded before turning around, opening the door she walked back in. Myungsoo followed behind.
 

His thirst had managed to disappear completely by now. He didn't understand it, but he could care less. As long as he wasn't having thoughts of a poor girl's blood dry, he was fine with it.
 

Four sets of eyes stared out towards the two as they walked in. They weren't the only ones, all the eyes of the students mingling with their talkative tongues directing their sight towards the two. The mysterious, handsome new student and the beautiful sweet heart walking side by side.
 

"What happened?" Chorong asked, completely oblivious to Myungsoo's thirst of ripping her apart and drinking her dry.
 

"It was nothing Chorong-shi. Just needed some air." Myungsoo reply. His answer natural and believable. Besides it wasn't a complete lie, he really did need some air.
 

"What about you?" She asked, this time her question was towards someone else.
 

"Me....ummm.....I also needed some air, plus I was wondering where Myungsoo-shi wondered off to." Naeun answered back, she willed her voice not to shake.
--
 

Crashing onto the couch, Hoya felt his heart rate quicken as he scolded his lips. “I just think it’s ironic that’s all.” He repeated. Glancing of his shoulders, he looked at his friends, both with a drink in their hands. Dark, red liquid filled the crystal glasses.
 

"Ironic. Yes, definitely." Woohyun replied.
 

"Her blood, seemed to had calmed down the thirst. It's supposed to be the other way around, but it wasn't." Hoya explained it. He was as confused as Woohyun and Myungsoo, he could find no words to explain it.
 

"Yeah. Your thirst dim. Me. I was fighting not to rip her pretty head off." Woohyun groan teeth mercilessly revealing themselves before quickly disappearing as fast as they were shown. He had the best control out of the three.
 

"And you, where the hell did you go?" Hoya asked, directly towards Myungsoo who was lost in his own world once again.
 

"I needed some air." Myungsoo replied. "The girl's blood was killing me." He continued.
 

"That's not what I meant." Hoya corrected. All three knew what Hoya meant in specific, Myungso was simply dancing around the question.
 

"She came after me okay, I didn't do anything." Myungsoo defended. Through he admits, he was quite, amuse, to find out that Naeun had come looking for him. Who would've thought.
 

"If you say so." Hoya groan. He was done with asking questions. Through both, Woohyun and Hoya knew there was something else going on, neither asked.
 

It was how it worked around, it has been like that for centuries now. Whenever Myungsoo acted up, the two would silently watch, they understood Myungsoo would eventually talk on his own turf. It wasn't a smart idea to dig your nose in too deeply when it came to matters like this.
--

 

It was autumn. She leaves fell from the branches. On the floor they lay scattered. Colors entered the world, thanks to the leaves. It seemed like over night the fall season had finally hit the universe.
 

Naeun unlocked the front door and stepped inside. Her soft footsteps were followed by two of her loved friends, Eunji and Chorong. Throwing her keys onto the side table she stepped through the mass living area and into the kitchen. Her aunt loved being in the kitchen and always kept it updated with the latest kitchen equipment.
 

Naeun was against this at first. Kahi, as kind as the woman can be, was a terrible cook. This was before Naeun learned of the amazing power of take out food.
 

"So," Chorong began taking a seat on one of the tall kitchen stools next to the counter. "Hot, really hot. Also cute, nice, funny, kind of weird through." She spoke openly and honestly. Both the two others girls understood who she was talking about, the three new kids.
 

"Um, Agreed." Eunji replied with an honest answer, she was grabbing some water from the fridge.
 

"Chorong-ah." Naeun brought up, "What is it you're not telling us?" Naeun asked. She remembered the moment a while ago at lunch. She made a note to ask Chorong about it.
 

"Ah, that.....it's nothing. Just something my grandma told me when I was a kid." She quickly responded, almost instantly taking off her book bag and scamble to find her History text book.
 

"Which was?" Eunji asked eyebrows perched inquisitively waiting for a reply.
 

"Just stuff, you know....stuff about the original founding families." Chorong explained.
 

"Can you be more elaborated when you say 'stuff'?" Naeun asked, taking a seat on a stool across from Chorong.
 

"A folktale, a folktale of a curse. A curse made on the original families."
 

"A folktale. A Curse. Tell us this story." Eunji asked taking a seat next to Naeun.
 

"My grandma doesn't remember it all. It was just a story, it's not like it actually happened. It was just a story to scare little kids. The story goes that, a powerful witch made a curse on three of the six original families. It was a curse of immortality, a curse of youth. Humans, normal humans would transform. Into the darkness they fall, they fall into creatures of lust, blood lust. They rampage the towns ripping them apart for blood. They were monsters, unstoppable, unbreakable. At least, back then they were."
 

"So, vampires." Naeun corrected, bugging into Chorong's story telling.
 

"Yes. Vampires. You see, vampires were thought as unvanquishable. They were made of pure iron stone, faster than speeding bullets, they were monsters. But even monsters had their weaknesses. Human emotion. As much as they fight it, human emotion would always run through their blood steam like their lust for blood. The towns people decided to use the loved ones of the recently made monsters as bait."
 

"Bait?" Eunji asked raising an eyebrow.
 

"Bait. To stop a vampire, you have to think as an hunter. Find your prey's bait, and use it to draw them in. Use it as a trap. When the vampires learned of their loved ones being captured they rush in to save them.... They only fell into the traps. They were killed, fit for the monsters they were, they were tortured and punished to the highest degree" Chorong came to a stop.
 

"Seems fitting for them, I'd do the same." Naeun nodded, Eunji nodded in agreement.
 

"But that's not the end of the story." Chorong cut in. "You see, when the witch casted the spell, only some members of the three families turned, eighteen to be exact. Over some time and constant torture, the towns people finally found out how to kill all the vampires. When all the vampires were killed, all was at peace, finally. All rejoiced at the new chapter of their lives. A life without vampires. My grandma claimed that the remaining three original families, our families, only counted fifteen dead vampires. Three of them were never found. They however told the townspeople that all vampires were killed, and like the fools us humans are, they willingly believed" Chorong finished.
 

"...Wait, so how does this relate to the new kids? Eunji asked. She was curious to how this tied in with the three new kids.
 

"It doesn't. The story just sort of came back to me. Besides, its all folktale and doesn't have anything to do with anything anyways. " Chorong answered blankly.
 

"Hmm, guess so." Eunji blushed it off as the two girls began talking about other things. Naeun stopped to think. Strange, she remembered back in the cafeteria and she could almost swore she see Woohyun's eyes flash into pure black. She sigh. Maybe she was just putting to much into it.
 

She knew one thing, she was going to look into this so call folktale.
