Weeks turned into months as Lisa moved from place to place, always trying to stay one step ahead of Jungkook. She changed her appearance, used fake names, and avoided making connections with anyone. She was always looking over her shoulder, haunted by the fear that he would find her.

But Jungkook was relentless. His obsession with Lisa consumed him, and his supernatural abilities made it nearly impossible for her to hide. Every time Lisa thought she had finally escaped, Jungkook would appear, forcing her to flee once more.

One quiet evening, Lisa found herself in a small coastal town. She rented a room in a rundown motel, hoping the constant fog and rain would help her blend in. Exhausted, both physically and emotionally, she collapsed onto the bed, thinking she might finally get a few hours of peace.

As she lay there, listening to the rain tapping against the window, her thoughts were a whirl of fear and uncertainty. She knew she couldn't keep this up forever. But what was the alternative? Just then, there was a soft knock on the door. Her heart leapt into her throat. She knew who it was before she even opened it.

Jungkook stood there, drenched from the rain, his eyes softer than she'd ever seen them. "Lisa," he said gently, his voice barely audible over the storm. "Please, can we talk?"

Lisa backed away, shaking her head. "No, Jungkook. You have to let me go."

He stepped into the room, closing the door behind him. "I can't, Lisa. I've tried, but I can't live without you. I won't live without you."

She felt a surge of fear and desperation. "What are you going to do?"

Jungkook took a deep breath, his gaze unwavering. "I don't want to hurt you, Lisa. I want to be with you forever, and this is the only way." He paused, searching her eyes. "I want to give you a choice. Let me turn you, so we can be together without this chase. You won't have to run anymore."

Lisa's eyes widened in horror. "Turn me? You want to make me like you?"

Jungkook's expression was earnest, almost pleading. "I don't want to lose you, Lisa. This is the only way for us to be together without fear. Please, consider it."

She looked into his eyes, seeing the depth of his feelings. Despite everything, she knew he genuinely cared for her. But the thought of becoming like him terrified her. "I don't know, Jungkook. This is too much."

"I understand," he said softly. "Take your time to think about it. I'll be waiting, but I won't force you. Just know that my offer stands, and I'll respect your decision."

Lisa nodded slowly, feeling a mixture of relief and confusion. "Okay, I'll think about it."

Jungkook gave her a sad smile. "Thank you, Lisa. That's all I ask." He turned to leave but paused at the door. "I love you, Lisa. More than you'll ever know."

With that, he disappeared into the night, leaving Lisa alone with her thoughts. She knew she couldn't keep running forever. Perhaps this was her chance to find peace, even if it meant embracing a new, terrifying existence.

Over the next few days, Lisa wrestled with her decision. She thought about her life on the run, the constant fear and exhaustion. She thought about Jungkook, his sincerity, and his desperate need for her. She knew he wouldn't give up, and maybe, just maybe, there was a way for them to be together without fear.

One evening, as the sun set and the fog rolled in, Lisa made her decision. She called Jungkook, who appeared almost instantly, his eyes filled with hope.

"Jungkook," she began, her voice trembling. "I've made my decision. I don't want to run anymore. If being with you means becoming like you, then... I'll do it."

Jungkook's eyes softened with gratitude and love. "Thank you, Lisa. I promise I'll make this as painless as possible. You'll never have to be afraid again."

They sat together, and Jungkook explained what would happen. He reassured her that he would be with her every step of the way, guiding her through the transformation. When the moment came, Lisa closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trusting Jungkook with her life.

Jungkook bit into her neck gently, and Lisa felt a sharp pain followed by a strange numbness. As his venom spread through her veins, she felt herself slipping into a deep, dreamless sleep.
