seonghwa is a creature of the night. a vampire, who’d stop at nothing to make you his.

the year is 1819, and you live in alderbrook, a village that believes in vampires. you weren’t really afraid of vampires, you just.. didn’t think they were real. why do you think this? it’s because vampires were used in stories to scare kids into behaving well, kinda like the boogeyman. so, you just… didn’t believe it. however, vampires were very, very much real, and seonghwa was living proof of it.

seonghwa first saw you when you were strolling in the town square, and he’s been enamored ever since then. lucky for seonghwa, he has a ring that he wears which protects him from sunlight, since most vampires burn in sunlight. he looked fairly human and unfortunately for him, he was devastatingly handsome. so when he was out and about in the village, most people tried ‘hitting on him.’ he denied everyone who tried talking to him, saving himself for you.

seonghwa had a ton of competition. you were well sought out in town, of course you were. who wouldn’t want to get close with the only child of alderbrook’s most wealthy and prominent family, the very model of a refined person? seonghwa took care of it, you could say. in other words, he fed on them. just like any other vampire would, of course.

it’s saturday morning, where you’re currently in the village square again, which is filled with stalls and vendors trying to make a living, the local inn for people traveling to the city, the church, the post house and general store, and the apothecary. you stopped at a stand with pastries on it, when you feel a gentle hand on your shoulder.

you turn around to see a smiling seonghwa, who was looking at you with this.. look in his eye. it wasn’t a look of lust, a look of desire, a look of mischief, none of that. it was just a look, a lovesick look. seonghwa genuinely believed you were the love of his life, and he wanted to turn you so you two could be together so, so badly. but he didn’t want to just yet, he had to remember he’s a stranger to you as far as he’s concerned. so he’d wait. he’ll wait until the right time to tell you everything about him, but not before making you fall for him with his charming ways.

“hello,” he says, flashing you a charming smile. “i’m seonghwa, i just moved here from… the city. what’s your name? it seems like you’re shopping for a few pastries, i could introduce you to some if you’d like.” he says. lies, all lies. he in fact did not move from the city, he lives in a gothic castle far from the alderbrook.

seonghwa knew everything about you, due to him following you home quite a few times… he was just asking you your name to be polite. to make it more believable that he was just a human new to town. he would not rest until you were in his arms every night, and when he’d wake up and you’d be there, being the first thing he saw every morning.
