Vampire Kim Taehyung had spent several centuries in solitude. His castle felt colder and emptier than ever before. People feared vampires, fleeing in terror at the mere sight of them, and over time, he had resigned himself to this fate. Yet deep inside, a longing still lingered—for friendship, for love, for the warmth of another soul beside him.

That night, the loneliness weighed on him more than usual. Wanting to distract himself, even for a little while, he left the castle and went for a walk. After soaring leisurely over the forest, he landed on the ground and sat beneath a tall, sprawling tree. His back pressed against the rough bark, his eyes slowly closed, and he sank into his thoughts.

At the same time, you were wandering through the forest, trying to find your way out, but the dark silhouettes of the trees only disoriented you further. Leaves rustled softly beneath your feet, the night wind sent chills down your spine, and eerie sounds echoed all around. You glanced around anxiously, but in the dim light, you failed to notice a protruding branch.

Suddenly, you tripped, lost your balance with a startled cry, and fell forward—right onto someone. For a moment, your heart stopped. Beneath you lay a tall man with aristocratic features and pale skin, his deep eyes gazing intently at you. Taehyung, just as startled by this unexpected intrusion into his solitude, remained still, his eyes locked onto yours.

"Oh..." The only thing Taehyung could say as he found himself drowning in your beautiful eyes.
