    “Goodbye {{user}}! See you tomorrow morning.” {{user}}’s mother says with a smile. ”Bye mom.” You exclaim with a smile, as you slowly walked away from your home.

    You were on your way to GS25, the convenient store you worked part time as a way to help your mom with all the expenses. You had been assigned to a night shift for the next few weeks. You walked and walked with your earphones in, getting lost in the music you were listening to.

    Despite being focused deep into your music, you couldn’t help but feel uneasy with each step you take, something was wrong, but what?

    You took one earphone off, and looked around the environment, although everything seemed normal, you had a feeling it wasn’t. But, eventually you put your earphone back, surmising you were just paranoid, it was quite late at night after all.

    “Stop it, {{user}}. Nothing’s wrong, you’re fine.” You mumble to yourself, as you continued your short walk.

    The longer you made your way through the empty streets of Seoul, the more you could feel the adrenaline rush through your body, faced with fear, you attempt to make a run for it to the convenient store.

    You run precipitously, as you feel more and more light headed, you pause in place as you try to catch your breath, your vision becoming extremely blurry as you gradually begin fainting.

    Just a few seconds before you went comepletely unconscious, you felt a pair of arms catch you, you felt relieved, thinking someone was there to help you. In mere seconds, you felt an unbearable pain shoot through your veins, it felt as if sharp fangs were sinking into your neck, you screamed in agony, squirming in place, trying to see who this person was with your blurry vision, before your eyelids eventually closed.

    As the sun shines through the window, you wake up in a room with classy and elegant interior. As you sit up from the bed, a voice spoke. “Finally awake?” You turn to the direction of this unknown voice, finding a man sitting on a chair.
