Locked \\ Kang Daniel

7

"Unlocked! She's unfrozen from the time freeze!"

Woojin waited for Jinyoung to finish dealing with Daniel before he started time again. Daniel finally could move but when he did, he was shocked he didn't feel hurt anymore.

He looked to his front and saw the rest of his gang right in front of him. "Was i hallucinating? What happened? How are you here?"

They went silent. "How is my arm not.. bleeding?"

He paused. "Why do I suddenly feel so strong."

Daniel peeked through the windows to search for the girl, but instead he found bloody red eyes staring back at him.

Indeed, it was his eyes.

Even if his reflection was the same, due to his red eyes it just seemed so unfamiliar to him. He didn't recognise himself at all.

He faced the other four in confusion. "What's wrong with my eyes?" He stuttered. His eyes was suddenly burning with anger. "What did you do to me?!"

When he didn't get a response from anyone, he stomped off from the group in anger. He didn't understand what was happening that day, it just didn't make any sense at all. His life is just getting weirder and weirder.

Even he was afraid of himself.

He was passing a door but he heard soft sobs coming from it. He was curious, but being the kind and caring guy he was, he opened the janitor's closet door slowly.

He gasped when he saw the same girl who attacked him. She looked at him with pure innocent eyes.

"Can you please help me? I.. I don't know why I'm here.. I don't know why my shirt is bloody, I don't know if I killed anyone but I swear! I don't remember anything!" She stuttered in panic.

The look on her face made Daniel think that she was telling the truth. Besides, Daniel didn't know what to do so he agreed to help the crying girl.

"Can you please bring me to the girl's restroom?" She asked politely. She was limping weakly too, it made Daniel pity and worry for her despite the scene that happened just minutes ago.

He obeyed her anyway.

He just needed to make sure that the girl wasn't lying and all.

On their way to the toilet, he finally decided that he should ask the clueless girl if she remembered or not.

"Did you.. Do you really don't remember anything that happened just now?" He asked. She shook her head, she was as confused as Daniel so asking her questions of what happened wasn't really going to change anything of their knowledge.

The girl's eyes captured the red stain on Daniel's sleeve. It could've been paint though, but why would someone paint in the early mornings, at school. It even seemed fresh.

She also thought that Daniel could've helped him in a murder, but he should have had them hidden then. He even seemed too pure to kill.

For some odd reason, she knew it was his blood. She just felt it.

So she asked the question that ran into her head without a second thought. She pointed to the stain and asked him, "Did I do that to you?"

Daniel hummed in response, looking at the direction she pointed to. He looked at his sleeve and thought, 'That's gotta be hard to wash off..'

The girl realised what she asked and quickly apologised to him for something about offending him in some way.

He didn't have the mood to lie, not when he's helping his possible future murderer. "Yes, you.. did."

The girl felt absolutely guilty. The fact that she didn't even remember anything made her feel twice as worse.

They finally reached the restroom. Daniel went into the men's restroom at the same time she went in the women's restroom.

He turned the tap and tried to wash off the blood. He was rubbing it fiercely but the stain wasn't going to fade away any further.

It had soaked completely into his sleeve and dried.

Suddenly, Daniel saw Guanlin- in the reflection of the mirror- walk in through the door.

Daniel turned around and they maintained eye contact for a while. Guanlin broke it.

"Hyung," Guanlin called. "You're a full vampire now."

Daniel furrowed his eyebrows. "What?"

He finally realised Guanlin's eyes were glowing red too.
