I can't escape it, you're my weakness and you're my vice
In the shadows, you're the only highlight
I can't stop me, can't stop me"

THE MOMENT ISEUL OPENED HER EYES, she was greeted by a surreal and otherworldly sight. The sun's golden light shimmered and cast an ethereal glow around her as if she had stepped into another realm. The clouds swirled around, leaving the big glowing ball alone in the heavens.

As she let out a faint groan, she felt herself being forcefully dragged through a mysterious portal into an enigmatic realm. She got up, dusted off her clothes and ventured deeper into what looked like a flower garden. However, the flowers were unlike any she had seen before. They glowed with an otherworldly luminescence, casting shadows that seemed to move on their own. The air was thick with an unfamiliar scent that made her both exhilarated and apprehensive.

Iseul's heart raced as she realized she was no longer in a familiar place. She wondered what lay ahead of her and what secrets this mysterious realm held.

"Beautiful.." she muttered as she ventured deeper into the garden, witnessing flowers of multiple sizes and colours.

Out of nowhere, a deep void of darkness surrounded the realm as a hooded figure emerged from the shadows. The figure approached her with a low voice, "I found you, Iseul of Seo Empire. You can't run anymore. You can't hide anymore. I have caught you now." The air was filled with an eerie silence as she stood there, wondering who this person was and their intentions.

Her heart raced as she read the message. What did he mean by "caught me"? She couldn't tell if he warned her to hide or encouraged her to run. The ambiguity of his words only added to her fear.

She stood there, frozen in fear, as the stranger approached her with a tight grip on his weapon. "Excuse me, sir... I don't believe we've met before," she stammered, trying to keep her voice steady. The stranger continued to advance towards her, closer and closer, until he was almost within reach. She tried to run but found herself rooted to the spot, unable to move. The stranger remained silent, his face obscured by the shadows.

The hooded figure took a swift and deliberate swing of his axe, the sound of metal slicing through the air breaking the stillness of the night.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

She shot up from her bed scanning her surroundings before realizing it was all a dream.

"Just a dream... Just a dream..." She muttered and sighed as she got out of the cosiness of her large King-sized bed. She flattened her messy hair and got out of her bed.

"I'm okay. I'm NOT going to get slayed by the Grim Reaper himself. Right? right. I'm okay." She muttered. After rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she stumbled out of her room and made her way to the kitchen for a quick drink. But to her surprise, she accidentally bumped into Niki.

"Are you okay?! Why'd you scream?! You scared the hell out of me!" he exclaimed with a worried tone in his voice. She just shook her head slightly.

"Okay... The others are still sleeping..." He handed her the glass of Sprite.

It's been 2 months or so since Iseul's been staying with the boys.
And believe when she says they've influenced her. Too much?

She has started taking short naps in the morning, and then being energetic and lively at night. More preferably, midnight.

The boys have warmed up to her.

She blinked, taking the drink and sipping it. "So, are you telling me why you screamed or...?" He finished, words filled with worry.

"Nothing much. Just a bad dream about the grim reaper chasing me and killing me. Heck, I don't know even if that creep was the grim reaper or not." She said placing herself on the couch.

"If it was nothing much then you wouldn't scream your lungs out." He rolled his eyes as he sat beside her arm around her shoulders and pulling her closer.

"Whatever "

Hours passed. Iseul fell asleep on Niki's shoulder and he was playing on his Nintendo.

The door opened revealing Jay. "Why were you out in the daylight idiot." Niki side-eyed the older.

"That's - why were you out in the daylight, idiot hyung." He replied placing the placing the plastic bags on the counter and taking his jacket, hat and mask off.
"I bought you bungeoppang"

"I love you with my eyes, lips, head and heart hyung."

"Uh- more than Eullie?"

"Know your limits."

" The others still sleeping?" Jay let out a chuckle and standing up already knowing the answer. Niki nodded already knowing what's happening.

Unfortunately, he forgot to cover Iseul's ears.

"YAH! WAKE UP IDIOTS YOU CAN'T KEEP SLEEPING THE WHOLE ASS DAY CAN YOU?! COME ON! GET UP I BOUGHT SOME FOOD! EAT IT BEFORE NIKI DOES!"
Jay screamed as slowly, one by one each of the members woke up. Jungwon coming out last.

"This is what I get for trying to sleep in." He mumbled get a gentle headpat from the older.

"AHH! DON'T EAT ME I'M A DEPRESSED SOUL WITH NO LIFE! I DONT TASTE GOOD!" Iseul flinched and screamed at the same time waking up looking around nervous.

The boys turned to her staring at her in disbelief and all that.

"I'll be the judge of that..." Niki mumbled and the stares shifted to him some of his hyungs with disbelief, some with a knowing smirk and Iseul with a flushed red face.
His face gradually turned redder by the second. He tried changing the topic a while of silence later. "Bungeoppang! Look!"

Her eyes followed him as the ran to the counter and nervously shuffled his and her snack on the plates as the older vampires snickered and laughed.

She took the plate from his hands and  muched on the bungeoppang. They all sat on the couch beside each other, chatting and joking around.

They were on the peak of their happiness. They were together.
And nothing was going to get in the way.

At least that's what she thought.

"They're gone. The boys, they left."
