Chapter 9. Unbearable Feeling

Without Moon Ryeong's knowledge, the night had turned into the afternoon. She could see the sun shining through the forest from inside the cave. Moon Ryeong slowly lifted her head, her gaze shifting from Helios to the outside. She rose from her seat and moved slowly toward the cave's far corner. She wishes to see and feel the sun's rays. She can see how the sun light makes the forest look bright and beautiful from the cave. She remembers how warm the sun rays were before and wishes she could feel them again.

She is aware that the vampire can be burned by the sunrise, but she still wishes to feel it because she still cannot believe she is a vampire now. She reaches out her hand to feel the warmth of the sun, but as soon as it touches her skin, she is in excruciating pain, and she notices smoke coming from her skin. Moon Ryeong grits her teeth and frowns as she tries to suppress her pain. She then quickly withdraws her hand and sits on the ground. She is, in fact, a vampire.
