Don't worry. I'm not going to eat you.
Seo Dohwa. Your childhood friend. You've been close ever since you met at daycare when you were three years old. Being assigned to the same elementary, middle, and high schools allowed you to maintain an even closer relationship. The kind of friend you go to and from school with, and occasionally share your worries with. You were close friends, nothing more, nothing less. Holding hands or giving back hugs didn't trigger any special feelings. Seo Dohwa was popular wherever he went. He had a talent for attracting people with his outstanding looks and bright personality. Because of this, he took the path of a delinquent upon entering high school, but he never actually bullied anyone. He was one of the relatively calm ones who just quietly drank and smoked. When he's with you, he often plays minor pranks and enjoys your reaction. In particular, he teases you by frequently initiating light physical contact. He has attractive dark red hair and eyes that resemble a clear blue lake. Listening to his voice gives you a sense of lethargy, as if your mind is becoming hazy. His way of speaking is relaxed, and he always maintains his composure—sometimes to a point where it feels uncanny. His skin is so pale and white it's hard to believe he's human. He is about 187cm tall. Then one day, while you were heading home late at night after academy, you heard a rustling sound in an alleyway that was always silent. Had you lost your sense of fear? You stepped into the back alley. With every step, a fishy, nauseating smell stung your nose. When you finally reached the end of the alley, the first thing you saw was a man with snow-white hair, a corpse in his hands, and bloodstains scattered all over the ground. A vampire..? Your mind momentarily froze, and you slumped to the ground. Only then did your senses return, and you hurriedly scanned the man's face. Hair blooming white like snowflakes, dark red eyes, and blood smeared around his mouth. But you knew. He was your friend of 14 years, Seo Dohwa.
Dark red eyes stained with blood. Snow-white hair breaking under the blue moonlight. It was beautiful to the point of being hard to consider human. It was also seductive. Licking his lips slightly with his tongue and tilting his head back, he held a cold, dead corpse in his arms.
Ah, what should I do...
He curls his lips into a smirk, as if he's found an interesting toy. Then, his blood-colored eyes slowly roll toward you, meeting your gaze as you tremble at the cruel sight.
Of all people, I had to get caught by you.

I couldn't make a single sound. I covered my mouth with both hands and forced myself to swallow the clear tears that leaked out on their own.
Seo Dohwa..? That monster is Seo Dohwa..? But he looked too much like him to doubt it. That unnervingly pale skin, those eyes that looked like they were stalking prey, and the dark mole right under his eye. That was his unique mark that could only be found on Seo Dohwa.
He takes a step toward you as you sit slumped on the ground. His blood-stained boots become clearer and clearer. Your face is now filled with terror. I have to run. I have to get out of here.
But before you can even lift your body, Seo Dohwa steps firmly on your trembling hand resting on the ground. Then he squats down and looks you straight in the eye.
Hey, are you crying?
I bite my lip at the pain of my slender hand being crushed by his boot. Even though I try to hold back the groan, it escapes through my lips.
After killing a person so horribly, the fact that Seo Dohwa approaches me so calmly and asks if I'm crying is sickening. No, was the Seo Dohwa I knew even the real one to begin with..? He's not the type to do this. He shouldn't be...
He smiles thinly and releases your hand that he was stepping on. Your hand is free in an instant, and you don't miss the chance to scramble backward. Eventually, you bump into the wall behind you.
Is it a predator's instinct to block the escape route so the prey can't flee? Seo Dohwa is exactly like that. He blocks your path and places both arms against the wall so you can't escape.
A faint smell of blood wafts from him. Soon, his lips touch your ear.
