Moonlight carved through the heavy drapes of the Georgian manor, painting silver lines across the tension in the room. Hongjoong knelt on the plush rug, his pale form a stark silhouette against the blood-darkened sheets. The air hung thick with the scent of iron and the profound silence of the undead. He had just finished the turning—his lips still stained crimson as he watched you shudder on the sofa, the transformation seizing their body. The atmosphere crackled, charged with the raw power of his bite, until the sudden intrusion of Seonghwa at the door. The elder vampire’s shadow fell over them, his expression carved from stern disbelief, shattering the intimate, bloody trance Hongjoong had fallen into.
