"Have you heard?"
"Yeah, a café just opened nearby."
"I heard a lot of girls go there."

"Want to go to the café everyone's talking about?" Sung Yeol asked as Infinite was starting one of their weekly training sessions.

"You should seriously stop listening to what other people say." Hoya said.

"Actually, my sister wants to check that place out." Dong Woo said. "I'm sure she wouldn't mind if you guys tagged along."

"Sweet! Let's go this weekend, we could totally pick up some girls there." Woo Hyun smirked as he checked himself in the mirror.

"Told you it mattered." Hoya said to Sung Yeol.

"No it doesn't."

The small café by the corner was painted a dark toffee colour with a sign that said 'Inspirit' in big bold letters. It was small but cosy and warm with the smell of coffee in the air. The inside was painted a dark brown with dim lights hanging from the ceilings. The tables and chairs were made of dark oak and the counter displayed all sorts of cakes and pastries.

Seven boys entered the café and looked around for a seat. The café was pretty crowded with students from all kinds of schools.

"This place is pretty cool." Woo Hyun commented. "Well, except for that corner." He gestured towards one corner at the back of the café that looked dark and scary. It wasn't that it lacked light bulbs, but three girls sat there, making a dark aura around them.

"Hush, before you get your ass kicked by three girls." Hoya whispered as all seven of them looked over at that corner in fear.

As they walked past the corner in a search for an empty table, a strong scent came from it. Their heads turned towards the cup of tea in Kimberly's hand. Her hand wrapped around the handle delicately and a dilute red liquid swirled inside the cup. L's eyes flashed shades of red as his feet started to move towards the table at their own record. Sung Gyu's hand stopped him from going any further.

"How about we sit over there?" Sung Gyu pointed at a table across the room near a window. "Your sister could see us then."

They all gave a mutter of agreement and started to shuffle towards the table. They all took a seat and Dong Woo looked out the window in excitement. His eyes light up when a small girl with pigtails and a broad smile similar to his came in the doors.

"Jian! Over here!" Dong Woo waved and she made her way over.

She was short with chubby cheeks and wore a blue middle school uniform. "Oppa! You're here!" Jian said excitingly as she sat down next to Dong Woo.

Dong Woo introduced Jian to the members of Infinite one by one, starting from Sung Gyu and ending at L. When she saw L, her eyes lighted up in excitement.

"You're L, right? OMG, can I take a picture with you?" Jian asked.

L agreed, like the celebrity he was, and took a selfie with Jian. At this very moment, the waiter walked up to them with a teapot in his hands.

"Your red English tea is served." He announced.

"I'm sorry but we haven't ordered yet." Sung Yeol said.

"Are you sure? Because there was an order for you." The waiter said.

"We're pretty sure." Woo Hyun said.

The same scent came from the teapot and shades of red flashed past L's eyes. He quickly reached for it but Sung Gyu beat him to it. The latter opened the lid and took a very serious whiff at the tea. His eyes widened.

"Just take it, it's already paid for." The waiter said.

"Nope, take it back and give it to some other customer." Sung Gyu ordered, shoving the teapot back into the waiter's hands.

The waiter shrugged and took it back to the kitchen as Sung Gyu gave a sigh of relief.

"Now, what do you guys want to order?" Sung Jong asked. "I'm hungry."

"I'll have a chicken wrap." Sung Yeol said simply.

"I wanna try the strawberry lemon sorbet!" Jian said.

L's eyes connected with Sung Gyu's and the latter shook his head. "I'm not hungry." L said, tossing the menu onto the table.

"Me neither." Sung Gyu murmured after L.

"Are you two okay? Are you coming down with something?" Hoya asked, looking up from his menu.

"No, we kind of just ate." Sung Gyu tried.

"Well, suit yourself." Woo Hyun shrugged and went back to his menu.

-

"What was that? It smelt so... seductive." L asked Sung Gyu as they gathered at the back of the forest once again.

"Blood." Sung Gyu confirmed. "And I think I know what type of blood."

"What does this mean? Does someone suspect us?" L asked frantically.

"No, someone knows it's you." Sung Gyu said darkly. "And it's not human."

"Then what is it?"

"There's a feeder in this school."
