Ichor Of The 7 | EN- FF ✅

The cafe was what it was expected to be, but not at the same time. It certainly was old, but had a youthful charm to it. Alongside this it had a very macabre feel. Perfect for a place that Hyerin now knows was home to her family, a family of vampires. 

Hyerin felt comfortable though. Many kids from school clearly enjoyed hanging out at this place. This is where things take a turn...

A few minutes passed before Hyerin approached the counter when she decided she should ask the staff at the cafe some questions. Mostly she was wondering what anyone knew of her mother' family, but also wanted to see if there were vampires so close to the school. Yun-Hee seemed to avoid ordering anything, which was not completely out of the ordinary... Taeyeon ended up ordering a latte while they relaxed with Yun-Hee. "Excuse me, can I take some of your time ?" The guy behind the counter gave her a dazzling smile. Who had Hyerin just ask to talk to ?

His name was Son Kyu-Bin. Or KB (A/N: Not to be assumed as KB of OnlyOneOf.) for short. The boy that all either wished gave the time of day or wanted to be. He looked at Hyerin & a sense of familiarity could be seen in his eyes. "혜수? 진짜 너야? 당신은 왜 마을로 돌아왔습니까?" (Hye-Su ? Is that really you ? Why have you come back to town ?)

Hyerin simply smiled before they both moved to a secluded table. "You knew Hye-Su ? I am her maternal descendant. My name is Hyerin..." Kyubin smirked as he was intrigued. "What do you want to know then, Hyerin ah ?" Hyerin sighed as she kept her focus on Kyubin. Ignoring the gossiping looks around them. "Why doesn't Hye-Su want those coffins open ? What do you know ?"

Kyubin' happy demeanor dropped real quick. He was very much against the idea of the coffins being opened. In a flash, Hyerin had caught a glimpse of Kyubin' fangs. So did all vampires have retractable fangs ? "You're better off leaving things alone, little human." Suddenly threatened Hyerin ran out of the cafe, ignoring the calls of Yun-Hee & Taeyeon. She was in such a frantic rush she bumped into a mysterious woman.

This woman pulled Hyerin into a dark alley. "예견된 예언이 있었습니다. 혜수는 자신이 한 짓이 용서할 수 없다는 것을 알고 있었습니다... 이제 그 짐은 너에게 넘어간다, 얘야." (There was a prophecy foreseen. Hye-Su knew what she had done was inexcusable... Now that burden falls on you, child.) Hyerin couldn't believe what she was hearing. "What prophecy ? Does it have something to do with those coffins ?"

The woman nodded as she handed Hyerin a piece of paper. "Read that when you can, child. It is important for you to know if you decided to open the coffins." Just as quick as the lady appeared she was gone. Yun-Hee called out to her when she finally caught sight of Hyerin in the alley. "What are you doing ? Let's head back, Hyerin."

Upon being back, Hyerin opened the piece of paper and was absolutely shocked. The prophecy was in her hands. The prophecy:

Seven were turned. Now forced to survive solely on blood. They rest in coffins awaiting to be released... Whoever opens the coffins must be purely hearted & sickeningly sweet. As to make up for the tragedy their ancestor made them meet...

Hyerin kept rereading the note before hiding it. Just like she does with the key. Then she closed her eyes...
