Until The Next Blood Moon (Trash Of The Count's Family/Tcf)

Chapter 1

Tw: Suicidal thoughts?

_________

It was the night of a bright blood moon but dark black clouds prevented it from being seen even for a moment.
It was raining without stopping, as if the heaven itself was flooding the mortal realm with its tears of sorrow.

They had lost everything... Even though they got their victory against the overwhelming force of the hunters, it was no better than losing.
Most of them had lost their lives but the crimson haired noble was still standing. The said noble was slowly losing himself, slowly losing the grip of his sanity.

Why did he still have to be alive when there was no one else to be with him? His family...had left him behind. Even Choi Han had gone missing.

Maybe the curse he shared with the white star never really went away.
He just wanted to sleep and never wake up again. He was too tired to keep living the hell that was his life.
He was exhausted...he wanted to rest.
So he... closed his eyes.

Cale woke up to the shrill sound of a machine beeping periodically. He soon realised that he was probably in a hospital when he turned to move and felt the slight pain of needles under his skin and the oxygen mask covering his face. Considering the uncomfortable feeling he had in his chest he most likely needed the mask.

'A hospital?...Why am I here?'

"Cale you are awake?"

Only then Cale realised that he was not alone and there was someone standing beside his bed. It was someone who was unfortunately familiar to him but at the same he felt as if he was a completely different person.

'White Star?!'

Hearing how the other redhead was laughing softly he probably made a weird expression.

"Haha stop it. I can literally hear you thinking from here, I'm not that white shit"

'Wait he is...'

Only then Cale tried to look at his face carefully even though his eyes were still a bit blurry. The person beside him looked far more healthier and prettier than the white star.

'Kim Roksoo?!'

"Oh I guess you have already realised that I'm Kim Roksoo dongsaeng "

The man who he now knew was Kim Roksoo gave him a gentle smile before patting his head.

Cale was really confused by how Kim Roksoo was behaving but what confused him even more was how the other man was calling him dongsaeng.

'Why is he calling me dongsaeng?'

"Hahaha"

He probably made the weird expression again considering how much the man was laughing.

"You're so easy to read my dongsaeng"

(No it's only you Krs...)

Before Cale could make a funny expression again he continued.

"I got adopted into the Henituse family in this life "

'Huh?...'

"Haha I was born with the appearance of your original body that the God of death told me that the white star had stolen. It's because my deal with him that I had made in my first life couldn't be undone."

"What... happened?..."

It was really hard for Cale to speak but he couldn't help himself from asking him. He was dying to know what that annoying God had pulled with him again.
