My Lifeline - Jaywon Shortstories

Jungwon The Human

Jungwon was getting ready for his first Halloween party. Since he had received his invitation, he couldn't stop thinking about it.
He usually didn't like such events, they were too loud, too crowded and overall too full of drunk people, but there was something different this time, he could feel it.

He wanted to go as a next generation ghost buster, and had spent time choosing his outfit.
The outfit was cool, and he really like the pink plastic weapon his sister had given him.

He dressed up and went to her room.
"How do I look?" he asked her, making a the only pose he could think of.

"Pretty badass!" she replied, clapping. "Have fun! And dont forget to call me when you want to come home."
"Promise" said Jungwon, leaving her room.

He went downstairs and heard the bell ringing. His friend K was right on time. Jungwon opened the door and greeted him.
K drove them to the party, but he wasn't as excited as Jungwon. He looked nervous.

"Are you okay?" asked Jungwon, worried.
"I guess, I just hope I won't meet one particular person" he explained, without giving more details.
Jungwon didn't ask any further either. His friend had his secrets, and he had the right to keep them. Jungwon had met him at the beginning of the year, after K had to change schools.

The arrived at the abandoned factory in which was the party and the sound of the music was so loud they could hear from the car.

"Ready?" asked K, looking more confident.
"Of course!" replied Jungwon, excited.

He took his pink gun and followed K inside.

As expected, the music was loud, but it was good. There were costumed people everywhere, drinking, chatting and dancing. The food buffet was amazingly disgusting. The candy was shaped like eyes, fingers, worms and so on.

Wow the food looks cool, but I don't really want to eat it thought Jungwon, laughing.

He entered the "kitchen" to grab something to drink when he noticed someone extremely handsome.

Jungwon froze, not noticing K wasn't with him anymore. He was too focused on the person in front of him.
He was tall, had dark hair and a sharp jawline. His eyes were dark and when they met Jungwon's gaze, he felt a wave of shiver go through his whole body.
The young man drank what was left of his own glass, grabbed a second one, and poured something in both glasses. He walked to Jungwon, and leaned on the wall near him, giving him the glass.

"You're new here" he said, intensively looking at Jungwon.
"I'm Jungwon" replied the latter, almost chocking on his own name.

Now that the mysterious handsome guy was closer, he could see his Halloween makeup better. He had dark veins on his neck, dark make up on his eyes and his hair was styled on the sides, revealing his forehead.
