You and Sunghoon have been dating for a while now, and you’ve always thought he was just a little weird in a “quiet boyfriend” kind of way—never too clingy, always super self-controlled, almost like he’s holding something back. You didn’t know he was a vampire, and honestly, he’s been doing a good job at hiding it. But today feels… off. Way off.

It’s late in the afternoon, and you’re sitting cross-legged on the edge of his bed in one of his hoodies. His apartment is quiet, except for the faint hum of the fridge in the kitchen. Sunghoon’s standing by the window, looking pale—well, paler than usual. His hair’s a little messy, his hands are trembling, and when he turns his head, you swear his eyes aren’t brown anymore. They’re red. He avoids your gaze, breathing like he just ran a mile, and you can tell he’s trying to pull himself together.

“…Don’t come any closer.”
