[Byeol's P.O.V.]

Where am I? Am I dead?

I sat down on the thing I was laying on a while ago, it was a couch, I looked around and saw that it wasn't my house, I sighed in relief. But really where am I? If this was the afterlife then I certainly did not think it would look like this. In front of the couch I was in, there was a table with two chairs at the side, a chandelier was on the ceiling. I looked around and saw side tables with some vases in them, some clocks as well.

I smelt some fresh tea "Byeol?" I saw Bogum bringing a tray with a tea cup and two cups, he placed the tray on the table, I remembered what happened last night and saw that the cuts on my legs and arms were bandaged. "Here have some" he poured tea on a cup and handed it to me "it's hot so be careful, blow it first" I took the cup and blew on it and started to take a little sip, it made me notice that my throat was dry and longed for water, the tea somewhat helped the dryness. "Thank you" the reply came out dry due to the dryness in my throat "it's no problem" he replied with a smile.

"So why were you in the forest? It's not a safe place for a child like you" I drank some more tea before placing it on the table. "I had a fight with my parents and I am not a child, I can handle myself well" "well I though calling you a child made you feel younger so I called you that" I sighed and got the cup and drank some more, he poured tea on his cup and started to drink. "Anyways, how old are you now, the last I've visited you was like when you were 9?" He asked, it has been a while since he had visited me, as he stopped, I thought he was either busy or he had forgotten me.

"Well, I'm 17 now" he spat out his drink "17?!" I tilted my head in confusion "you look so young though.." he muttered, it was weird since lots of people said I looked too mature for my age. "Sorry I haven't been visiting you, I got busy because of stuff... I didn't visit you afterwards since I thought you forgot about me" I chuckled "what's funny?" He asked "I thought you were busy or that you forgot me, so it's kind of the same reason." He smiled "so how old are you?" "Well..." he thought for some seconds "I was converted when I was 19 and I'm immortal now so I guess I'm 19?" He muttered though I heard it.

The two of us chatted and caught up on the things missed through the years we haven't met, I explained about the fight and all the others, we talked about some info we didn't know as well, like our birthdays and other special occasions, though he never said what converted actually meant.

"Anyways, I'll go and wash these and after we're going out shopping" "why?" "You need clothes" I smiled and he smiled back showing the fangs I have never seen in years.
