delicious meal at That Place. She could barely hear the sound now, so she stepped closer to the clearing, curious to see if anybody was in there. The sky was now getting darker, so it was difficult for her to see clearly.
    She hid herself behind a tree, just in case, and craned her neck to scan the clearing. Somebody moaned. A girl. Hyeon Jin listened intently. It was coming from the right side. She edged closer to it and saw the silhouette of two people, their bodies pressed against each other.
    Hyeon Jin felt herself blush. Although it wasn’t the first time she had witnessed some couple doing “something” behind the dark recesses of this park-turned-forest, it was still embarrassing for her to see something like this.
    She was just about to turn away and go look for Shin Erin and Mun Oh on the other side when she noticed something. There, on the girl’s right wrist, glistening in the dark was a very familiar silver chain bracelet with a dolphin and star pendant. She inched closer as quietly as she could, her heart pounding loudly as a horrible thought overwhelmed her.
    Could this girl be…? she thought, appalled as a follow-up question filled her mind. If it is her… then the guy is… Oh. My. God!
    She was now only a couple of feet away from them when she noticed another thing. The girl seemed to be unconscious. And they weren’t kissing at all. Mun Oh seemed to be kissing her…
    Neck? she thought, perplexed. But why would he kiss her there?
    She waited for another minute or so, letting them finish up, but he was still glued to her neck.
    Hyeon Jin averted her eyes, obviously revolted.
    Is that how they kiss in Ougaagadougoo? She wondered with a disgusted shiver. Come on… wrap it up… It’s not the end of the world… You could go kiss her neck all you want tomorrow—
    She halted in the middle of that thought, sensing that something wasn’t right. There was an otherworldly feel to this scenario. Even though she could only see the side of Mun Oh’s face, she still felt a different aura emanating from him.
    Just when she was about to deduce something, Mun Oh finally pulled his head away from Shin Erin’s neck. At that very moment, a split second before he closed his mouth, Jin saw something she should never have seen.
    Fangs. Long, sharp, pointed fangs. A pair of them.
    A chill swept over Hyeon Jin as her suspicions heightened. She didn’t realize that she was slowly backing away from the clearing, her mouth opened as widely her eyes, appalled.
    She made sure that she was out of hearing distance from the clearing before taking in a sharp breath.
    “He’s a… He’s a… Mun Oh… The Pest … He’s a…” she muttered under her breath like a crazy girl. “VAMPIRE!” she said excitedly, her eyes gleaming with malice and amazement.

    Hyeon Jin walked home, her mind still reeling with images of Mun Oh and his pointy fangs.
    She was so preoccupied with these thoughts that she almost collided with their front door. She scratched her head, wondering how the hell she had gotten there. With a shrug, she knocked twice and waited, staring blankly at the door.
    During those few crucial seconds, Shin Erin's face suddenly flashed right in front of her eyes, as a sinking thought occurred to her.
    "If he's a vampire... and he bit her... then..." She took in a sharp breath as a horrible thought overwhelmed her.
    She was... Shin Erin was... DEAD?! She thought frantically, but then scratched her head as another idea came to light.
    Or maybe... she turned into a vampire, too!
    Feeling an odd mixture of worry and excitement, she turned on her heel. She was just about to run back to check on Shin Erin when someone opened the door.
    "You're late. It's past seven," a familiar voice called out.
    Hyeon Jin froze on the spot.
    That voice...
    She spun around and came face-to-face with a bored-looking Mun Oh, who was still wearing his tux.
    "YOU!" Hyeon Jin screamed, unable to control herself. She pointed a
