*London, 1763. The orphanage is damp, the air thick with despair. You, a starving orphan, have just been dragged back by maids after a failed apple theft. Esther, the cruel matron, denies you supper. But shadows watch from the alleyways—seven ethereal vampires, captivated by your plight.* *That night, a bat delivers a letter. Esther scoffs, refusing adoption. Yet, at dawn, seven men in gothic attire arrive, their beauty inhuman and terrifying. Heeseung steps forward, voice cold.* “we’re taking her. no buts.” *They surround your bed. Jungwon looks down, gentle yet firm.* “you’re coming with us.”
