Take a look at this.

So is this the footage from that accident?

That's right. It was caught on the dashcam.

But...

did you bring the thing you promised?

Hey.

You...

What's wrong?

It's too overwhelming...

What?

Na Young, wake up.

What's wrong with you?

Hey, can you hear me?

Did she have any symptoms before she fell unconscious?

I'm not sure.

She passed out after having trouble breathing.

Check her blood pressure and oxygen saturation,

and hook her up to an ECG.

Okay.

Is it really bad?

She looks fine on the outside.

Do you know her medical history or what medications she's taking?

I don't really know.

Does she have a guardian?

A guardian...

So that's...

Oh, hold on.

(September 12, Saturday)

She'd have his number.

(Butler Francisco)

"Butler."

(Butler Francisco)

Are you her guardian?

Yes, I am.

You have to register at the counter.

What is your name, ma'am?

Park Bong Gon.

Who are you?

You already know, right?

Yes.

She'll feel better now.

Na Young.

Class president.

Are you awake now?

How many fingers?

One?

This is Ms. Park Bong Gon.

I'm Francesca.

Let's go somewhere else to talk.

Can you get up?

Come in.

No, you wait outside.

I need to talk to her alone.

Have a seat.

I heard about your family.

I felt sorry for you, so I rented out my place to you.

Is your name also Francesca?

That's correct.

Just like yours.

Anyway...

Have you drunk...

human blood for the first time recently?

I have.

How did you know?

You kids are far too young to be drinking fresh blood.

It's only natural you'd get blood sickness.

Was it that boy's blood?

What?

No.

That's good.

It could've been disastrous.

The stimulus must have been intense.

The stronger the attachment, the stronger the urge to drink blood.

Attachment?

You really have no idea, do you?

Francesca.

Listen carefully to what I'm about to say.

It's extremely important.

What's going on?

What's she telling her?

They die?

To be precise,

biting a human will still turn them into a vampire, just like it used to.

But the virus spreads immediately.

They'll die within a year at most.

Then...

So if you really care about that boy,

you should stay away from him.

You'll spend the rest of your life missing him...

and regretting it.

I know. I've been there.

Today, you saved my life.

If you're grateful, come visit sometime.

I hardly have anyone to play Go-Stop with...

these days.

What's Go-Stop?

It's fun. I'll teach you.

Okay.

Francesca.

I sincerely hope you don't make the same mistakes I did.

Okay.

Have a good night.

We sure went through a lot today.

Yeah.

Are you really okay?

Yeah.

But...

shouldn't we talk about what happened earlier?

What?

What we did earlier...

The kiss...

- Class president. - Yeah?

Thanks for today. I should get going.

I'll walk with you. I live nearby too.

No, see you at school.

Did you give her that blood?

Isn't it only natural for vampires to drink human blood?

That doesn't change anything.

- Your parents... - Then what about you?

You loved without regrets, so...

Look how miserable you are now.

I know.

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Are you all still asleep?

- Did you study? - I did.

Oh, really?

- That's a lie. - It's not.

Where did she go?

Where are you? Are you skipping school?

Aren't you hungry?

- Let's go get dinner. - I'm not hungry.

Class president. Were you looking for Pi Na Young?

She just came to school.

What?

Pi Na Young.

Dang it, my stomach hurts when I run right after eating.

How did he know I was here?

Pi Na Young.

You scared me.

It's new seeing you get startled.

What are you doing? Why aren't you in class?

I've had enough.

What?

I don't enjoy studying. Why would I work so hard for it?

All just to get free Wi-Fi.

And school too.

I only came here to eat. I didn't come to play student.

- What are you talking... - I don't need you anymore.

How stupid do you think I am?

At least put some effort into lying.

Did you think I'd be hurt just enough...

to accept that lousy excuse and back off?

I don't know what that woman told you,

but I'm not going to just walk away...

because you say you don't need me.

And besides,

I need to get into med scho...

You might die!

If a vampire bites a human, they get sick and die within a year.

You won't get into med school if you're dead.

Got it?

Now move.

Then why did you kiss me?

What were we that day?

What did it mean?

Does that even matter now?

(Dooil High School)

I guess I can't eat here anymore.

I'm hungry, though.

Pi Na Young.

You're more useful than I thought.

Fine. I'll accept you as a friend.

What about school?

I'm done with school.

Really? Why?

Because of Jang U Ju?

Just think of him as a lunchbox.

No one will even know he died because you bit him.

Oh, no.

Did I upset you?

Do you like me?

What?

Or...

do you like U Ju?

What are you talking about?

Just...

you seem awfully bothered by me and him hanging out.

Thanks for the food,

but that's enough.

Hey.

Do you know what happens when a human and a vampire get together?

What happens?

You get someone like me.

My father was a vampire, and my mother was human.

It's pathetic how my dad always missed my mom...

whom I've never even met.

I'm just worried you'll make the same mistake.

That's why I'm stepping in.

So if you can't even control that simple urge...

A simple urge?

Desire?

I've always gotten everything I've wanted.

I've never hesitated before eating something I wanted,

or buying clothes I wanted to wear.

So I'm saying...

I'm not stupid enough to mistake this for some simple urge.

I don't know what you've been through,

but whatever I'm feeling right now...

I get to decide what it means.

Not you.

(1st period: Korean Literature 2nd period: Math)

Oh, come on.

(Report Card)

Why did your grades drop so much?

Is it...

because of what I asked you before?

You've done well up to now,

so you could still aim for regular admission...

He's been telling me in so many words that I wouldn't get into med school.

You're not dropping out, are you?

But it didn't bother me at all. That was strange.

I've seen students like that.

It was almost as if I'd been put under some spell.

So...

Does that even matter now?

I guess not.

Why did I say that?

What?

Nothing.

I understand. I'll get going.

(Pi Na Young)

(Pi Na Young)

(CSAT Math)

(U Ju told me to choose option 3 if I was stuck.)

(Why would Cheol Su do that?)

Excuse me.

Hey, young lady.

You in the black dress!

I'm a little weak.

Could you push my wheelchair to my house over there?

Sure, no problem.

Why, thank you.

Oh, great.

Let's go!

Na Young?

This should be far enough.

Okay. Don't wander too far on your own.

You're such a kind girl. Now I feel bad.

Why would you feel bad?

You should be grateful.

No, I really do feel bad.

Na Young?

Na Young!

The license plate...

It's 73 Heo 5067.

Hello, police?

A person got kidnapped.

The license plate is...

It's 73 Heo 5067.

Sorry? The location?

Where am I?

We'll look it up right away,

but it might be impossible to track it down.

Let's wait for a bit.

Okay, calm down. Think this through.

What can I do?

What now?

My butler does everything for me.

Your butler?

So you have one at home?

Not now.

He's out for work.

Her butler...

What? She got kidnapped?

Yes, what should I do?

Why would she...

Is there a way?

There is.

What is it?

I set up location sharing on her phone...

because she's always all over the place.

I'll send the link to you now.

Okay, thanks.

Ms. Francesca...

Sir, make a U-turn.

Here?

If I do that here,

we'll both be on the news tomorrow morning.

Oh, but...

Ms. Francesca!

(Truck Helper)

(Checking Location)

(Current Location)

I found her.

Hey, taxi.

Taxi!

Oh, what do I do?

Okay, calm down. Try to think.

Need a lift?

You...

Hop on.

What? Will you walk instead?

What is this?

We've been waiting...

a long time for your kind.

For what?

Your kind is...

You're a vampire.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You don't need to pretend.

We all know about it.

So what do you want from me?

So...

Just bite us.

What?

You have immortality and eternal life...

all to yourselves. That's not fair!

You could share it with us, couldn't you?

What the heck is this?

We want to become vampires like you.

It's easy.

Just bite us here and draw some blood...

Wait, will it leave a scar?

Maybe.

Really? Then bite somewhere else...

Just give us one bite right here...

and draw some blood.

That's how we...

No.

I can't do that.

Damn it.

I didn't expect you to agree so easily.

Well, it can't be helped.

Big guy, go get the equipment.

- Yes, sir. - Damn it.

Hallelujah!

- Praise the Lord! - Oh, Father!

Bless us with your grace!

Father Almighty...

Damn it.

Are you done yet?

Can you untie me already?

Hey, none of this is working.

Are you sure she's a vampire?

- Is she? - What?

I told you to find the right one!

I saw the footage!

She came back to life, just like...

Here.

You like this, don't you?

Come on. Bite me!

The signal stopped here.

That means...

Hey.

Why are you suddenly helping me?

Is it some kind of vampire solidarity?

I don't know.

Watching you two together,

I guess I wanted to be the bridge for two star-crossed lovers.

Cut the crap.

It just...

reminds me of my dad.

I got curious...

about what it's like to love someone for a year...

and miss them for the rest of your life.

I told you, you idiots.

If I bite you, you'll die.

Don't you get it? You'll die!

Do you really think we'd believe that nonsense?

Bite me!

You people!

What's going on here?

Who are you?

Class president!

Hey.

Oh, you're one of her kind too.

Well, that makes things easier.

Then maybe you could...

We have no intention of biting you.

And we don't want any trouble.

Just put away those useless props.

We can talk this out peacefully...

Hey, you...

Are you okay?

I was hoping we could settle this peacefully,

but I guess that's not happening.

Oh, it hurts!

Stop kicking me!

What are you doing?

Are you just going to lie there?

Gosh.

You look too healthy to be pushed in a wheelchair.

Just bite me once.

No.

Please.

No.

Bite me.

No.

- Do it! - No!

Just bite me once. Please, just...

I said no.

I knew.

U Ju!

I knew Pi Na Young would come back even if she fell.

I knew that, but...

Jang U Ju!

U Ju...

No...

It's my...

first time...

seeing you cry.

Why is that important now?

What do we do?

Do something.

There's only one way.

No.

He'll die within a year.

He'll die anyway if we leave him like this.

It's your choice,

Francesca.

Jang U Ju.

Pi Na Young?

Now,

I've got good news and bad news for you.

Which do you want to hear first?

The bad news.

The bad news is,

you've got one year left to live, at most.

And the good news is...

The great-aunt is here.

Welcome...

to the world of vampires.

The son of blood!

- The son of blood! - The son of blood!
