oh my, looks like @jaesunkim is in trouble now.
being spellbound doesn’t make her a supernatural, or at least that's what jiwon thinks, despite how powerful her magic could get at times. she’s still considered a human compared to other creatures, in which she believes is unfortunate, but jiwon has been a witch for a quite while to even regret about who or what she is, even if it means she’s not as strong as the others. jiwon never sees herself as any other species, at least not in the nearest time---and yet here she is, with pale skin and little fangs in her mouth. at first jiwon thinks she’s only sick. that’s what they told her, she looks sick, and she doesn’t feel so good either, so that’s what she’s assuming.
she’s sick, yet she couldn’t exactly figure out which part of her is sick, or why she’s feeling this way. it almost feels like her whole body is on fire, and her throat, it’s aching for something that is more than just water. it only gets worse every second, leaving her hopeless of what to do to get rid of the thirst, until she finally notices those little fangs in her mouth. it doesn’t take jiwon long to put the pieces together, although it might be absurd to think that she has turned into a vampire. there’s no other explanation for what’s happening to her right now, she’s determined to find out about it herself, if she really did transform into the bloodthirsty creature.
and so when night comes, jiwon decides to go out and roam on the streets. everything seems clearer and better for the witch, it’s as if her senses have been boosted in some way, and she couldn’t deny how strong she could smell people around her. it drives her crazy how attractive their scent is, and before she knows it, jiwon has ended up hauling a man to a dark alley when he tries to speak to her, and now he’s lying lifelessly on the ground next to her feet. she wipes the blood off her mouth, recalling how sweet it has tasted like, and how alive it makes her feel. she doesn’t know how she did it, but she did, and that convinces her of what she is now.
it’s funny, how she ends up becoming a vampire out of anything else. jiwon doesn’t know what to do with the dead body, or what’s next in the vampire guide book, but perhaps she has to go tell someone about this. she turns around to spot jaesun not far from where she is, fortunately, and given how shocked he seems like, jiwon could tell that he has seen what she did just now, for that he’s literally screaming in horror through his expression. “jaesun?” she finally calls out, a friendly smile on her lips, as if nothing bloody has happened there before. “judging from your face, i can tell you've been watching me, and whatever it is you are thinking now, it’s true.”
