think, Mun Oh?” Hyeon Jin asked sweetly.
Mun Oh glanced at his sister, who looked horrified as she suddenly realized what was going on, and then cast a death glare at Hyeon Jin . He was bursting with fury, disgust, and extreme hatred for this girl, but he knew that opening his mouth might make him say things he would regret later.
And so it appeared that Hyeon Jin had won this round.
« CHAPTER 5 »
The next few days had been nothing but a blur of endless jeers, teases and relentless attacks by Hyeon Jin. She never let a second pass without mocking or pestering Mun Oh with her “vampire jokes,” and even going so far as calling Mun Oh a vampire in front of everyone while they were having dinner.
Mun Oh, on the other hand, was reaching his limit, as he carefully avoided a deadly confrontation with his sister. Inside his head, a heated debate was seriously going on. One side said: just bite her and get it over with , while the other, which was powered by his ego, strongly advised him against it. He had never been in a tight spot like this before; everything usually worked out fine for him. It was as if some invisible hand had dumped a bucketful of shitty misfortune over his head ever since he had arrived.
Unable to endure her curiosity anymore, Ji Sun cornered her younger brother minutes before she left for work with Kim Junjin . She took the opportunity after getting Kim Junjin to change his tie, which would take about five minutes.
“What?” Mun Oh snapped at her as he lazily sat in the couch.
“Don’t ‘what’ me, you twerp!” she snapped back, placing her hands on her waist. “When did she find out? HOW did she find out?”
Mun Oh sat up straight. He knew his sister wasn’t that stupid. But he didn’t really wanna admit that he had been caught in the act, especially by that retard Hyeon Jin .
“I don’t know how she found out. I was just as surprised as you were,” he said. It wasn’t a complete lie. He really had been surprised that she found out about it.
“You know the rules, right? You know you couldn’t just let her run around freely with our— your secret…”
“Are you telling me to bite her? That’s ridiculous. I don’t even like her,” Mun Oh replied with revulsion.
“Since when did it become a rule that you have to like someone to bite them?”
“That’s MY rule. Besides, I wouldn’t want to have even a drop of her blood inside my system,” he added with a shudder.
“You’re right. I couldn’t just let you bite her. It’s not right. I mean, it IS the right thing to do in our world. But here… it just doesn’t seem right. She’s as good as my daughter now. I couldn’t betray her.”
Ji Sun covered her face with her hands in confusion and exasperation. Mun Oh felt sort of sorry that she had to be dragged into this. What should’ve been a peaceful and uneventful reunion between him and his sister had turned out to be a disaster, thanks to that big-footed girl.
“I’ll fix this up in no time. Don’t worry,” Mun Oh assured her, standing up.
“No. I don’t want you to do anything to her. Just… let me handle this,” Ji Sun said frantically. “I’ll talk to her and explain everything.”
“I already did that. Why do you think she never told her father? She might despise me and everything, but she still respects you.”
Ji Sun gave him a wan smile. “But,” she said as she stared at him with those round eyes, “you still have to bite her eventually. You are aware of that.”
Mun Oh sighed. “Yeah. I guess so… Look, I’m sorry for causing you all this trouble—”
“What trouble?” a third voice interrupted. The two of them spun around and found a confused Kim Junjin straightening his shirt.
“Oh! You’re here! That was before… We were talking about our past—you know how troublesome he was when we were younger… and… oh! We’re gonna be late! Let’s go,” Ji Sun said, hurriedly dragging Kim Junjin out of the house before he
