Episode 2.
Yo decided to go to Pun’s room, and he was ready to tell him the truth. But he was shocked when he saw a coffin full of clothes when he entered his room. Pun sneaks in and tries to bite him on the neck with his fangs. Yo was so afraid, so he screamed out loud when the latter went near him, and when he thought he would make him a vampire, Pun removed his fake fangs and told him he was just playing a prank. Yo went mad and tried to walk away, but before he left, Pun told him that good vampires like him existed.
After Yo left, Pun couldn’t help but remember his dark and sad past. Pun lived through many eras. And that’s just it. People around him age, suffer and die with time. But not him. He has to face every story alone. He feels sorrowful as if he’s been cursed to be alone in this seemingly endless time. He’s just living day by day, eating blood at Namtok noodles. He can’t do anything about his sad and empty life, so he’s just waiting for it to end. But one day, he saw a chance to end his life. He went to a fight with a gang, and he let them kill him, but he didn’t die. Instead, he ended up eating and buying pork blood soup.
As a vampire, his only power was not being hurt or killed. The next day, Pun was shocked to see that the pork blood soup had closed unexpectedly. The part-timer says that the owner moved back to their hometown and will not sell soup anymore. As his sadness went on, the part-timer who he became friends with brought him pork blood soup from a different shop. A moment later, Yo came in, and the three of them had bowls of pork blood soup. The two were surprised when he screamed out of happiness after eating pork blood soup again.
After eating, they went to the rooftop and sat under the sunlight with an umbrella. Yo asks Pun why he’s so obsessed with vampires, and the latter says he’s a real vampire. Yo smiles after knowing that what he thinks is true. He asks him more about vampires, and he tells him that they live on Earth. Pun told him that he was born a vampire about a thousand years ago. Though it seems that Yo doesn’t believe him anymore, Pun asks him not to tell it to anyone and to keep it a secret. He told him that he should move places as he couldn’t stay in one place for too long.
The people around him will grow older over time, but his face will stay the same. So he has to be alone forever because when he bonds with someone, they will grow old and leave him. Yo started to think that he was crazy and that he just made up a story. Pun also lied to him about his rent because he didn’t know him enough to share his secrets. Yo feels special when he says he doesn’t want anyone to disturb him except Yo. At his dorm, Yocan couldn’t help but tell his friends about Pun being a vampire. Some of them didn’t believe him but still think that Pun is an alien.
