You're in big trouble... Eunmi.

W-who's there?

A woman in a white dress showed up in front of her and Eunmi then gasped seeing who it was. "Mom," she let out and seeing her mom, she wasn't happy about it. "You're in big trouble, my darling." she warned her daughter and Eunmi doesn't even know what she was talking about. "What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Sim step closer to Eunmi and touched her cheeks with both of her palm. "Honey, you shouldn't trust Park Sunghoon and especially, his brother." she warned and Eunmi's lips parted a bit. Mrs. Sim's hand went from her cheeks down to her shoulders. She could see that her mother wasn't very happy that she's working against her brother. "You got to listen to your brother, please, hear me out. My love, James Park shouldn't be brought back to life! You shouldn't have do that!" 

Eunmi gulped as she kept listening to her mother. "I know, our ancestor did bad at claiming the throne but at least my love, at least... bringing back James Park was the biggest mistake that you've ever made. Trust your brother please..." She could see in her mom's eyes that she was begging to trust her as if it's the only way to straighten her mistakes that she did.

Thinking about it, what she have read in the book that Sunghoon gave her, It was Eunmi's own ancestor who took the crown since he wanted to be a monarch so badly. "But mom--"

"Darling, what you saw in that book was a lie! The story was flipped! Lord Percy burned James Park because he wanted to rule the world and control every immortals like puppets under his fingers!" She exclaimed which made Eunmi shocked. She didn't even know who'll she trust right now. But for her mother's sake...

"I'll trust you mom. Please guide me." 

Her mom finally smiled at her.

"I'll trust you in this mission, my love."

A vase was broken by the cause of Jake. He bit his lower lip as he ruffle his own hair because of anger. "HOW DID SHE EVEN ESCAPED FROM YOU IF YOU ALL ARE NOT DOING YOUR JOBS!! PUNKS!!!" Everyone kneel down for forgiveness. "If she continues to make mistakes, we'll gonna lose! Those Parks will reach their evil victory and control both human and vampires!"

Jake once again ruffled his hair and took his exit from the castle and transformed into a bat and flew to go to the Park's mansion to get his sister back. 

~~~

Eunmi slowly opened her eyes and sat up in the bed while rubbing her eyes. As she rubs her eyes, she recalls her mother's every words. She promised to believe in her and she couldn't broke those words.

A knock on the door was heard and then opened the door, revealing Park Sunghoon. He happily smiled at her and opened the door more widely to reveal that he was holding a tray of soup for her and some medicines. "Are you awake, my Yuki? I've got you some soup to help you get better." he said smiley.

How can be this man that bad?

Eunmi smiled back at him. He then placed the tray on the bedside table before hugging the girl. "How's the bite? Does it still hurt?" He asked and she just hummed. Sunghoon pulled out from the hug and took a look at the two dots. The bite was a bit wider than every vampires in this generation. "I felt like his fangs crushed my bones." Eunmi said and then chuckled.

Sunghoon was a bit distracted and Eunmi saw it. "Hoon?" she called which made Sunghoon went back to reality. He looks really bothered which made her even wanted to question him more. "Why are you being so quiet, Hoon?" 

Sunghoon looked straight at the girl and his eyes tells that he feels sorry. Sunghoon gulped and and opened his mouth, he was about to say something when suddenly the door burst open, revealing Sunghoon's brother, Park Jongseong. He was smirking as he leans in the doorframe. "Why don't you just tell the truth to her, Sunghoon. Don't tell me you're afraid to tell that naive girl that she got deceived by us?"

"Deceive?" 

Jay scoffed at how stupid her question was.

"You didn't know? Guess you're that kind of idiot. Our parents were punished with death penalty because they were reported as the murderer of your parents. With our revenge, I force to task my younger brother to marry you so that he could get the throne that we wanted.

"Since Sunghoon was that soft hearted, he fell in love with you for real which is a bummer. So, I had to make things go on my own and continued with the plan." Jay explained which made him laughed at the girl who just got dumbfounded after finding the truth. Sunghoon has no other else to say and just bit his lower lip, having a feeling of regret. Sim Eunmi on the other hand all she just wanna do is to question her so called fake-husband and wanted to cry about it.

She trusted him with all of her heart and even wanted to take risk and fought against her brother for him. "Looks like for you, the secrets in the shadows are still hasn't revealed. But lucky for you, I spilled it myself." Jay smirked seeing the dumbfounded face of the Sim and he turned around, walking away from the room. 

Eunmi gripped on the blanket and clenched her fist. "Y-You're the one who's deceiving me? All of you?" she asked in a soft voice which just made Sunghoon feel heavyhearted. He lowered his head, trying not to made any eye contact with the girl. "I trusted you... but you just made me your wife just to fulfill the plan to control the world?" she added and the tears that she kept holding back was dripping down to her cheeks. Sobs and hiccups were then now heard in the whole room and still, Sunghoon didn't move a hand because no matter how he explain the situation, she will no longer listen after she heard that the Park betrayed her.

As she continued to cry, a fire broke out and started to burn the curtains. Glass windows started to crack. Sunghoon finally took a move and calmed the girl. "Shhh, love don't cry please. I don't want to see you in tears." he said with a low voice. He stopped the fire from spreading with the use of his ice power. Sunghoon was about to reach her cheeks to wipe off the tears but Eunmi slapped his hand and then slapped him from the cheeks. "How dare you to even touch me! I'm disgust... so disgusted in you for even calling me love when this marriage is all just part of your nasty plans!" she shouted and then pushed Sunghoon out of the bed. 

The emotion were all plastered on Eunmi's face. Tears. Sunghoon stood up. "Please, Yuki... even if it was all part of a plan... I fell in love with you. The love is real."

"Would you even forgive me if I don't trust you from now on? Even after telling me that you love me, I won't fall for that act anymore. Mom's right... I should have listen to my brother." she said and continued to cry. He was about to lay hands on her but then suddenly...

Sunghoon sensed an aura and a powerful bloodline in their territory. The wolves fierce snarls were heard as if they were attacking someone. One wolf howled into the night, getting the attention of the four Parks that was inside the mansion. Sunghoon was breathing heavily as he step back before rushing downstairs to help the pack.
