05 - start

kihyun sat up in his bed in a cold sweat, breathing heavily. "that dream again..." kihyun mumbled, calming down. he looked at his calendar.

'august 10th'

this is the first official day of kihyun's job. he's one of the last, perhaps last vampire alive so he had a special job — even if it was super dangerous for a species that was being hunted down daily.

kihyun was just about to stand up from his bed when his buddy jumped right onto his lap. a black cat with emerald green eyes.

"morning, mystic." kihyun said, stroking his cat's fur. that cat is the only friend he had at this point. he graduated high school years ago and left his friends behind. he didn't try to, but after the situation with his best friend, ex enemy, 'carrot scalp', whatever you wanna call him disappeared he got really closed off.

"get off me mystic. i have to get ready." kihyun said, and just like that his black cat moved off his lap. a weird cat she was, no other one kihyun met or owned would even move a muscle.

kihyun got up from his bed and went to brush his teeth, wash his face, take a shower, etc. then to his dresser, put together a casual, comfy but semi-formal looking outfit. collared shirt tucked into black leggings with a oversized jacket hanging from his shoulders.

he got his keys, phone, wallet and went out the door, not even getting a small snack, not that he needed it. until his eyes were neon red he was fine and didn't need any blood. as soon as he stepped out, his phone beeped from a text message.

"good morning, mr. yoo. your first address is xxxx-xxxx. make it there by 7am."

kihyun put the address into a gps and took off in his car. the meeting place ended up being behind a bar, where kihyun met his new boss.

he made it there and didn't see anyone. stood around for a bit before he got another text message.

"turn left."

so kihyun did, and saw a demon hybrid, standing there in a black suit, and a mask over his eyes, one hand in his pocket — the other holding his phone.

"good morning. pleasure to meet you." kihyun said, shaking the demon's hand. "i suppose you'll be giving me coordinates for the workplace? or is that something i'll get later?"

"later. for now, i'd like to have a talk with you. let's go somewhere even more private, shall we?" the demon spoke with his surprisingly friendly yet professional. "by the way, you can call me mr. lee, you'll know my full name eventually."

kihyun modded and followed mr. lee to a gate, leading to a forest. as soon as he shut the gate, he teleported them to who knows where. kihyun couldn't made sense of the place. the grass was red and purple, and the sky was black. clouds were red and a grey smoke filled the distance.

"this is the place you'll be teleported to every time you complete a mission or request to speak to me or your colleagues." mr. lee said.

"may i ask what this place is?" kihyun asked as he walked down a black, looking like it was made out of smoke pathway with mr. lee.

"doesn't really have a name. but it's a place for all dark hybrids like you and i. did you not know?" mr. lee explained, "did your parents never show you this place as a child?"

"i was an orphan." kihyun answered.

"oh... i'm very sorry for bringing it up, mr. yoo."

"it's fine. the orphanage was better than the streets my sister left me in."

"what a horrible action. anyways, we're getting off track. do you know what your job will be?"

"no."
