could utter another word.
She gave Mun Oh a meaningful glare before closing the door, which probably meant behave yourself, don’t do anything stupid and we’ll talk later.
But Mun Oh was already thinking of a wily plan, something to get back at Hyeon Jin for all the humiliation she had caused him.
He had learned from his father that when you wanted a sure victory, you had to find out your opponent’s weakness and attack it relentlessly. Without changing into normal human clothes, he went out of the house with a devious smile on his face.

On Shin Erin's neck were two tiny, almost inconspicuous holes, which could've been nothing but moles. But Hyeon Jin knew better. She was well aware that those weren't just moles on her best friend's neck. Those were bite marks from that vampire, Mun Oh.
She had tried to squeeze information from Shin Erin regarding that night. To her dismay and surprise, Mun Oh wasn't lying about the whole memory modification thing. It seemed like he’d pressed an invisible delete button inside her head, removing every single memory Shin Erin had of him. When Hyeon Jin attempted to refresh her memory and convince her that she'd been bitten, she called her a lunatic. End of story.
The bell rang, finally ending another miserable and boring history class. Hyeon Jin quickly placed her empty history notebook back in her bag and followed Shin Erin out of the room.
"Are you sure you don't remember anything at all?" she asked, catching up to her.
"What is wrong with you? Are you on crack or something? For the hundredth time: I have no idea what you're talking about!" Shin Erin said, stopping in front of her locker.
"Maybe you have to see him. Come with me to the house! Once you see him again, you'll definitely remember everything," Hyeon Jin said breathlessly, like a crazy fan girl talking about her obsession.
Shin Erin shook her head and sighed heavily. It was so unusual, even for someone like her, to see Hyeon Jin like this. It was as if she had totally lost it or something. Since she really had nothing much to do that afternoon, she decided to give in to Hyeon Jin 's demand.
They heard loud noises when they arrived at Hyeon Jin ’s house. There seemed to be a commotion inside.
"Is there a party or something?" Shin Erin asked, hesitating at the door. Hyeon Jin gave her a slight shrug as she pushed the door open.
"Of course!" Kim Junjin screamed, followed by a chorus of laughter from the other three people in the living room.
"You snore louder than me!" Kim Junjin went on merrily. Nobody seemed to have noticed the two girls' arrival.
"Of—" Ji Sun started to say, but thought better of it. She then stared daggers at a chuckling Kim Junjin . "Excuse me! I do not snore louder than you!"
Another round of boisterous laughter as Ji Sun tried to explain herself.
Shin Erin glanced sideways at a stupefied Hyeon Jin . Following her stare, Shin Erin instantly realized why she looked as though she was being forced to eat something nasty. Aside from Kim Junjin and Ji Sun, two other guys were in the scenario. One was laughing his head off while the other was simply smirking handsomely. Shin Erin recognized the one laughing as Park Juno. Hyeon Jin 's ex-boyfriend . The other one, though, was completely unfamiliar to her.
Unable to stand her curiosity anymore, she cleared her throat quite loudly. The noise ceased at once. All eyes were on her. A bit shy, she slowly pointed a finger at Hyeon Jin , who was right next to her.
"Oh, you're home!" Kim Junjin said, breaking the silence. "And this pretty young lady is... Er..." he paused. "Shin Erica ?"
"It's Shin Erin," she corrected with a giggle.
"I knew that," Kim Junjin replied, quite embarrassed. "Come and join us. We're having an 'Of Course' game here."
"Tch," Hyeon Jin scoffed, kicking her shoes off. Neither Park Juno nor Mun Oh had taken their gaze off her.
"Don't 'tch' me, young lady. You're next. Let me just finish off Ji Sun."
