The sun was shining brightly as Angela prepared for her trip around Asia with her two friends, Katrina and Janice.

They had all just graduated from High School and were awaiting admission. Katrina parents, who were very wealthy, decided Katrina take a tour around the Asia tigers to learn about the country and their development as she wait for her admission into the university.

He believed she should have fun with the little time she had before going to University.

Katrina, Angela and Janice, were all three best friends, so Katrina decided they come with her,, so that they could explore and have fun together and her parent had no problem paying for the other two.

They were all living in Nigeria, and were 18 years old turning 19 by next year. Angela was really excited about the trip. For her, it was like a tour around the world "how many countries are there in Asia" she would ask herself.

She even imagined getting a scholarship in one of the schools in Asia and schooling there.

They had finished packing up their things and met up at the airport.

Their first flight was to Dubai to shop for the things they would need during their big trip.

They bought a lot of things there, spent a night and took their next flight to Japan, and that was where the fun began.

They all stayed at a special hotel meant for tourist. And being treated more specially than the rest of the tourists, because Katrina father had a friend there.

After some rest, they went to a restaurant to eat and the next day continued their tour around Japan. It was indeed a beautiful country. Tho Angela had a lot of people staring at her more than they did to Katrina and Janice, but she couldn't care less as long as she was having fun with her friends.

They enjoyed some traditional celebrations and even wore kimonos and were thought some of the traditions of the people.

They ate alot of tasty food and enjoyed the beautiful fireworks, and after having a long day, relaxed at the natural outdoor hotspring at the hotel playing and splashing each other water like kids, laughing and having fun "soooo relaxing" Angella said as she dived deeper.

They stayed in Japan for two weeks before taking their next flight to China.

When they arrived, they had a special apartment kept for them to relax for the day before their tour around China. They were just in time for the moon festival being celebrated there.

They attended it and dressed in their traditional outfit and even watched fire works and lion dance performance.

They tasted most of their famous dishes and spent two weeks in China then the following day, they took a flight to the next country.

South Korea.

Katrina was a massive fan of South Korea. They arrived at South Korea and took some pics, went to different restaurants to eat. They couldn't stop squealing whenever a cute guy passed them by. They were kind of the cute guys' lover type which was hilarious.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

***Angela POV***

Since we arrived at Korea, all we had was fun non-stop. We went to the beach, Amusement park, every fun place we could find. After three weeks, yes we stayed for three good weeks.

Katrina's father called telling us to take any available flight back, as quickly as possible adding that all airports would be shutting down soon due to a strike and till further notice.

But why would there be a strike? He didn't mention as he hurriedly hanged up. We quickly began packing up our things and ran out of the apartment rushing like we were being chased. We decided from the room that we would call any taxi that we find and rush off to the airport to catch the next flight.

I had left my phone behind in a hurry and rushed back in to pick it up while I told Katrina and Janice to go ahead without me that I would catch up using a different taxi.

I get to my room and grabbed my phone then rushed back out and got into the taxi I had quickly stopped.

Getting in I told him my stop with a translation app on my phone, and he drove away. I told him to try catching up with the taxi Katrina and Janice were in, but we got stopped on the road by traffic. A huge one, with the excuse that a really important person was passing by.

I was losing my patience and was panicking knowing that the airport would shut down really soon. I can't imagine being trapped here till further notice.

The traffic lasted for a really long time up to forty minutes before the taxi began moving again.

I arrived by the airport just to be informed that the last flight had already taken off a minute ago and that, with Katrina and Janice on it "oh no"

The Airport immediately announced that it would be locking down in three minutes, so I had to take my luggage out and get another taxi back to the apartment.

It was taking everything in me not to break down right there and cry.

I got back to the apartment and called dad. He was really sad for me and helpless as there was nothing he could do for me.

Mum just kept crying over and over at the fact that she won't see me till the strike was called off.

Katrina's father calmed me, telling me not to worry and stay at the apartment till then he would provide me with everything in would need to survive till the strike is called off. He did send me a lot of money and got more foodstuff delivered to my apartment.

I thanked him sadly and hanged up. I arranged my clothes back in the closet then changed into my night wear. It was getting dark, and I was beginning to feel sleepy.

I just made myself some instant noodles and went to bed trying hard not to think about my situation.

****midnight****

I was woken up by the loud ring of my doorbell. Who would be ringing my doorbell by this time of the night. I covered my self properly to go back to sleep, but the person kept ringing over and over again. I couldn’t even shut my eyes anymore. "Ahhhhhhhhh!!" I screamed out of frustration and walked out of my room to the kitchen first grabbing a pistol and a knife.

I already had the worst day of my life plus this?

I walked up to the door slowly and looked through the peephole but didn't really see anyone, so I turned to go back to bed, but then it rang again this time it sent chills down my spine and I couldn’t help but fear a little.

But then swallowed my fear and quickly open closing my eyes tight as I immediately swing the pistol at who ever it was But my hand got caught in a tight grip stopping me, but I immediately use my other hand to try stabbing at the person with the knife but he caught that too. "Hey! Are you trying to kill me??!!" I heard a masculine voice say, and I slowly opened my eyes. F**k!! I was speechless as I stared at the red haired guy beFore me.

He looked like he had just stepped out of a K-pop album cover. I almost squeal aloud as I look at the young Korean guy. His hair was dyed red and black at the root. Black eyes, had a piercing with black earing on, having a silver chain around his neck.

He was wearing a white hoodie, black jeans and white sneakers.

I just couldn't stop staring. I think I am dreaming. I bet I am still asleep, because how the hell is someone this handsome and cute all at once standing before me. "Ahem!" he coughed to catch my attention and I snapped out of my stupid thoughts. Regardless of him being handsome, he is still a stranger who barged into my house "what the hell are you doing at my apartment?!!" I asked while he still held on to my hand.

"Your invited me" he said with a smirk as he pushes the door shut with his foot. What is he saying? How did I invite him?.

"Wait is he some kind of evil spirit sent by my village people?"

I need to call mom and tell her to pray for me. I definitely am the most unlucky person in the world.

"What the hell! U think I am some evil spirit, are you crazy!" he snaps

"How dId you know I was thinking that? Can u read my mind because u really are an evil spirit?" I asked with a gasp

"You literally thought that out loud jeez, what's wrong with u" he said as he tried not to laugh.

"Hey! I don't even know who you are, talk more of inviting you into my home." I said and then thought "But the fact that my village people knew I love pretty boys to even send an evil spirit in disguise as a hot Korean guy, damn they are smart" I said as I visibly drool at him

"For the last time! I am not an evil spirit sent by who ever u say sent me"

I looked him straight in the eyes for a while and looked away.

"Fine you're not."

"I told u"

"then what are u doing at my house?"

"I am staying here for the night" he replied and my joor dropped

"What did u just say?!!" I yelled and tried to hit him with the pistol, but he still had my hand in his and took them from me then dropped them on the island" and walked away towards my room while I quickly followed him to stop him from whatever his trynna do.

"What a nice place u have here" he said with that same smirk as he turned looking around.

Man this guy is pissing me off.

"I definitely found the perfect place to spend the night" he says as he jumps on my bed with his stupidly hot sneakers on.

"Noooo, my bed!! Why are you laying on my bed???"

I asked but he just kept his eyes closed.

"Because I want to" he finally said with that smug smirk still on.

"Are you insane? you are a stranger, come on, how can you just come into my house and now stay in my room" I said but he just kept laying down with his eyes closed. Damn he looked soooo hot even with his eyes closed.

jeez Angela, stop having such thought about this troublesome stranger

my head made a loud boom and I realized I got a migraine from shouting. I robbed my temples and walked over to his side.

I was tired of all this drama. I need sleep. I was just a step away from being depressed and boom! he comes along to make things worst for me. I dont even know the number to call the Korean police.

"Hey, you know that normally the guys would sleep on the couch while the girls on the bed" I said to him expecting him to continue his drama with the couch while I at least have a little rest on my bed but instead the hot idiot shift him self to the other side of the bed making space for me by his side.

"well not this guy" he says and closes his eyes

"your welcome to sleep on the bed if you like but... you know I am a man after all" he added with a smirk

I gasp about to speak but then he opens his eyes and tilt his head towards me

"anything can happen so u better be save than sorry and sleep on the couch" he says.

"what the hell!!!! in my own house? I would now sleep on the couch??"

"ahhhhhh" I yelled robbing my aching temples as my pride roared

he took the remote and turned on the TV. why is he behaving like this is his house? "can u please just please get out of my house "

He stood up and I took a sigh of relief, finally his going. that's what I thought

Instead he began taking off his hoodie leaving only his black singlet, big mistake this guy looked like a gym rat without his hoodie on, a big example of "dont judge a book by its cover." I just couldn't stop staring at his muscles, but then he began taking off his sneakers too and leaving only a black stocking.

" What are you doing?" I asked, but he just kept his hoodie on the bed and began walking towards me.

I didn't take a step back but he didn't stop he kept coming closer while I was trying to be fearless "w..what are you doing?" I asked again but he still ignored me coming closer and closer *help*

He kept coming closer, too close, so I started backing up, and he just kept coming closer while I kept backing up.

I didn't realise the bed was now behind me and ended up falling on the bed, and he came right on top of me.

Why does he smell so good?

He kept his hands on each side, trapping me and locking his eyes on mine.

"You've got some really nice brown eyes," he says as he stares into my soul.

Just then, and suddenly, he rolled over to the side and covered me up with the comforter, also covering himself and placing a pillow between us. I should be the one doing that.

"Jalja," he says in Korea and turned off the light. What the hell does that even mean, lying in the same bed with a stranger, never thought that would ever happen, worst is that he is painfully sooo handsome and how can I just sleep in.....in...

My eyes began to feel very heavy as my migraine got worse I needed sleep, rest, and just like that I blacked out.

******Some minutes later*****

I turned over in bed and opened my eyes, only to find myself alone.

"Great! It was all a dream" I said to myself and sat up.

I was feeling thirsty. Everywhere was still dark. I took the glass beside me on the bedside table and drank some water from it, I then lay back on the bed to sleep, but just then, I felt something or someone breathing down on my neck. I froze and quickly turned, then found something lying right behind me. I could only see two red glowing dots, like someone's eyes, and perfectly in time, the moon shone through the curtains, and then I saw the black hair and knew it was a person.

I rolled off the bed immediately screaming but the person kept lying there and looking down at me. I crawled backwards trying hard not to cry but then I hit my back against someone and quickly looked up. Glowing red iris, the same person who was lying on the bed, was now standing right behind me.

I screamed and made a run for the door turning the knob but it would not open.

I turned it, shaking, pushing and banging, but it still changed nothing about it being locked.

I was scared. So scared. A stream of hot tears began flowing down my cheek. "HELP ME!!!" I screamed as more tears flowed.

I turned back, looking around the room, but then it was empty. No one was here anymore I was almost relieved till I felt that same breath against my neck again I fell and rolled under the bed covering my mouth with my trembling hands trying to at least stay hidden from whatever or whoever it was. I could hear movements around the room.

My heart was racing so fast. I was scared. I couldn’t even think straight. All I hope for is that I survive the night.

After a while, I couldn’t hear noise anymore, which means it was gone.

I took a deep breath of relief and turned to come out from under the bed but found a face inches from mine right in front of me with that same iris I screamed and tried getting up immediately forgetting I was underneath the bed and ended up hitting my head against the bed frame and blacked out. I am so dead now.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

I woke up and found myself lying down on top of the soft bed even covered with the comforter. So this means all those things that happened were only a dream?

Man, I sure have the weirdest dream. I just want to go back home to mummy and daddy.

That dream scared the hell out of me.

I looked towards the window, which was properly covered with a curtain, but I could tell it was already daytime. I wanted to get up but felt someone holding on to my hand. I turned and found that cute stranger from one of my dreams. I rubbed my eyes and realised I was not dreaming. So he really came last night.

I kept looking down at his sleeping face. He looked so handsome even while sleeping. Plus, his blossom pink lips. He was sleeping so soundly next to me, like a baby, and yet not letting go of my hand.

Wait..... we slept on the same bed yesterday.

I quickly touched my body and thighs. My underwear was still on, and I wasn't feeling any pain between my legs. I sighed, looking back at him. Surprisingly, he really didn't do anything.

Why the hell is he so cute, though? I thought but then snapped out of it and began hitting him lightly.

"Hey!!" I yelled, but he was still sleeping

"Hey!! Wake up and get out of my house!!" I yelled louder, and he finally moved, rubbing his eyes, and then opening them, looking up at me.

Look at those black, cute eyes. Jeez, God really took his sweet time creating this guy. Yeah, we saw a lot of cute Korean guys while we toured around, but man, after seeing this guy..... I don't think those other guys really deserved the "cute" we threw at them.

Ahhhhh, stop it, Angela!!

"Good morning," he said as he yawned. His still behaving like he owns where I live.

"Are you serious right now?!! shouldn't you be like...on your way out right now?" I asked, but he just covered his ear with a pillow.

"Come on, just let me sleep for a while," he said and closed his eyes.

"Ohh no, you don't," I say as I get down from the bed, walk towards the window holding on to the curtains, I open them, so that the bright morning sun won't let him sleep but instead...

"Ahhhhhhh!" I heard him yell in pain as he fell off the bed I quickly ran to the other side of the bed where he lay on the floor covering half of his face with his hands.

"What's the matter?" I asked worriedly but he wouldn’t look at me and only hid his face from me.

I looked towards the open curtains and ran over closing them shut, then went back to him and yet he still had half his face with his hands. But just then, I spotted some burns from behind his hands.

I was confused remembering that he never had any burns. I would know after how long I stared at him sleeping. How? How did this happen?

I pulled his hands off his face and fell backwards in fright as I looked at his heavily burned face.

Half his face was burnt so badly that u would hardly recognise him i gasp in shock as I covered my mouth.

You would think he was burned in a terrible fire accident.

"Don't! Don't look at me!" he said as he looked away.

His aura had changed from being all smart and cunning to just being in pain. I don't know how I could tell but I could.

"You weren't supposed to see me this way," he says but softly.

"I guess I had let my guard down around you" he added as he clenched his fist standing up and taking a step towards me but I unconsciously moved back.

He stopped and let out a dry laugh.

"Just say it. Call me a monster already" he says but I kept shut as I only stared at him.

My hands were trembling but I hid them. I was scared.

"Call me a monster damn it!!" he yelled making me flinch.

"Don't tell me what to do damn it!!" I yelled back angrily. He wants me to call him a monster, why?

For some reason, I felt guilty for the state he was in right now. But who would just suddenly get burnt by the sun? No human would..... wait, no human would. Does that mean he isn't human?

"Is he really an evil spirit sent to me by my village people?" I asked myself as I looked around

"That again? You have to be kidding me" I heard him say as he sat down on the bed wearing his sneakers then took off his hoodie about to leave.

"Tell me," I said as I joined the pieces together even if the possibility surely is zero.

"Are you a vampire?" I asked. Of course, vampires don't exist, they are just cooked-up stories people make up in movies and Novels to get money or audience.

They can't be real. And yet, I have read in Novels that they get burnt by sunlight.

He froze on the spot at my question but he didn't say a word.

I stood up slowly and walked towards him then stood in front of him keeping a perfect distance between us afraid that he might do something.

"You aren't a monster you are just some dumb stranger who barged into my house and got injured due to my carelessness," I said not really thinking straight but I said whatever came to mind. Regardless of him being a vampire or whatever creature he is, he still is in pain and his laugh and voice just say pain nonstop and I can't stand it.

I just have a stupidly soft heart and yeah it's annoying sometimes and it feels like a curse at times as well.

But I just can't ignore the feelings, it hurts when I try to.

He looks at me finally looking directly at me but with shock in his eyes. I stepped even closer and was finally a bit closer to him.

"Does it hurt?" I ask as I forward my hand to touch it but I remembered it would hurt him more and redrew.

"Stop it," he says as he takes a step back

"You know what, just imagine that I was never here and I am sorry for whatever trouble I had caused you it's better you don't get anymore closer or you would be putting yourself in danger."

He took some steps back and opened my door.

I stood there still thinking about what he had said till I remembered that he had just finished getting burnt and was still going out to get even worse.

I ran after him, just when he was about to open the main door, I stepped in front of him, locked the door and pushed him towards the couch. "What are you doing?" he asked almost angrily as he stopped shoving his hands out of mine.

"Do you seriously wanna mess with me? I am a Vampire" he said

"I drink human blood to survive" he added with a smirk but I rolled my eyes.

"As long as you aren't a vampire from Nigeria you think I give a damn? At least put some sunscreen on before stepping out of this house. Regardless of how you barged into my house and also not revealing your weakness before I opened up those curtains, I am still feeling very much guilty for how your face is right now"

I walked over to the shelves and found the sunscreen that Katrina had left behind. I took it and sat him down then opened it and began applying it to him.

He was quite all through. Not running his mouth like he was.

Just then he grabbed my hand stopping me from applying the cream further "Are you sure you should let your guard down like this? I am a monster after....."

His remaining words died on his lips as my lips quickly touched his giving him a quick kiss on the lip.

"see... I would never kiss a monster, and I sacrificed my first kiss just to prove it"

I continued applying the sunscreen ignoring his very shocked expression, at the same time, I was trying hard not to think about how soft his lips were on mine and how cute his reaction was when I kissed him.

His injury suddenly began to heal up and his face was suddenly back to normal. I was shocked as I watched it heal with my own eyes.

"Uhhh what's happening?" I ask

"I can heal myself of minor injuries"

Minor? he is calling half of his face being burnt sooo seriously minor? If it were a normal human being, even plastic surgery wouldn't help them.

After a while, I was done and stood up to keep the sunscreen back, but he caught my hand stopping me from walking.

"What? Did I miss any spots while applying the sunscreen to you?" I asked but he just kept staring at me.

What? Did I miss any spots while applying the sunscreen to you?" I asked, but he just kept staring at me.

He shakes his head and lets go of my hands, then gets up.

"Thanks," he says and begins heading towards the entrance door to leave.

"You leaving?" I asked as I slowly walked towards him.

He turned to me raising a brow.

"I mean... I don't even know your name yet" I said quickly but he just chuckled which was the best sight I have ever seen in my life.

"My name is Song Jin-seo. That's if a foreigner like you would remember" he says with a soft smile as he shoved his hands into his jean pockets and walked out the door.

I quickly went after him opening the door and saw him still walking with his hoodie now on as he went down the stairs "Song Jin-seo!!!" I called out and he turned back to look at me then his frown changed to a smile. Gosh, that smile is killing me, I just love that smile.

"I am not sure if vampires also eat human food, but if they do, I hope you don't drink anyone's blood and come have breakfast at my place"

He simply smiled being all mature and different from the stranger who had barged in yesterday.

"I already had breakfast," he says

"Huh? When? How?"

He just smirked and pointed at his lips as he rested on the wall, tilting his head to look at me.

"That little kiss you gave me, already filled me up," he says with a wink and my cheeks turn hot. So he took that little peck seriously.

"But I will come for lunch," he said and I could only nod.

I was still trying hard not to blush, his being too charming right now.

"See you," he says, walking back down the stairs.

I closed the door and rested on it to keep me from falling. His words affected me this much "omggggg he is just toooo cute" I squealed as I blushed really hard against my palm. I remembered the kiss and blushed even harder "There is nothing to it Angela so chill" I said to myself to calm my racing heart.

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

I cleaned up the house then went to the bathroom to bathe, after that I went out to the breakfast café to have my breakfast.

I was done having my breakfast I was so lucky to have survived all the stares from all the people in the restaurant. Jeez, I began heading home before my phone rang finally it was Katrina calling.

I picked up, and she was all in tears crying so hard over the phone I asked what was wrong, and she began apologizing about leaving me behind, saying she and Janice thought I was right behind them and in another aeroplane and didn't know I was stuck in traffic.

She cried even more and I calmed her down "Actually I am doing fine Kate, just some drama has been happening that's all," I said remembering that hot stranger.

"I wish I were there with you," she said and I smiled to myself already imagining it.

"Angela" she called

"Yeah?"

"You Jenice and I got admission into the same college that we had applied for in Abuja. You were given a full-time scholarship because of your very impressive results" she announced and I screamed in excitement scaring some people in the street.

"omg!! That's wonderful news, finally we all got admission!" I squealed with a lot of happiness but realised that she had been quiet all through after breaking the news. Just then my smile fell.

"Kate, aren't you happy," I asked almost in a trembling voice as I felt like all my happiness would be flushed out in a second.

"I am" she replied

"But..." she continued as u heard the cry she was trynna hold in deep in her voice.

"But the school is actually taking all new students in next tomorrow and you won't be around. Dad said they are very strict so after tomorrow, they won't be taking in any more students and there isn't a certain date of your return which means u might have to wait till next year to get an admission" she said and finally began to cry again while I collapsed on the floor outside the café. My phone fell from my hands and tears began to fill my eyes.

Now people watched me like a widow who had just got the news that her children had died in an accident.

For a moment I couldn’t move from the shock. My friend, my two best friends are leaving me and even going to school without me.

We have been together since we were kids we....we can't just separate! No!

"Angela" she called from the end of the line but I didn't answer.

I just took the phone, hung up, and ran home.

When I arrived home, I fell to the sitting room floor and began to cry loudly this time.

Why do I have to be stuck here?

That is my dream university we are talking about.

I wept louder "My friends would be in school while I would be here doing nothing and I don't even know how long," I said to myself amidst tears wishing my mum was here to yell for me and hug me.

I needed comfort so bad.

Someone opened the door and I quickly sprang up cleaning my tears and cursing for not locking the door behind me after coming in.

I turned towards the door and found the cute stranger right before me, i instantly forgot all my problems as I stared speechlessly at how good he looked. He was wearing a white turtle-neckwhite jeans with a red coat over it and red sneakers.

His red dyed hair was falling over his forehead in messy neat strands.

He just looked so breathtaking right now.

"Hello,", he said as he closed the door behind him.

"I came for the promised..." he was saying as he turned to me, but his words just died as his eyes stopped on me.

"Why were you crying?" he asked as he stepped closer

I cleaned my tears which I was sure I had cleaned properly as I sniffed

"Did anyone touch you?" he asked in a deep voice as his face darkened for some reason.

"No one, I am actually okay really"

"You are lying," He said plainly as he walked closer to me and was now right in front of me. Looking into my eyes.

"Your eyes say it all. You're sad, because your two best friends are going to college and you won't be able to join them because of the sudden strike which caused all the airports to lock down"

He says and I gasp in shock reversing my step slowly.

"How did you know that?" I asked but he only smiled

"Your eyes are just too transparent, they can let you down when it comes to keeping a secret"

He can read eyes? That's kind of disturbing.

I quickly cleared my thoughts as I walked up to him

"So tell me, how old are you?" he asked

"Eighteen, what about u? Like a hundred and something or so," I asked as I followed him to the kitchen. He smiles.

"Nice one, but I am just nineteen"

"Just?" I scoffed

He chuckled as he opened the refrigerator and brought out some vegetables keeping them on the island.

"Ummm.. what are you doing?" I asked raising a brow in question.

He takes off his red jacket and hands it over to me.

"Can u help me hang it?" he says as I take it from him.

I hold it close to me and that same nice scent made me almost visibly sniff it more right in front of him.

"Can you tell me what you're doing?" I asked again

"Cooking, what else"

"Why? You're a guest, it won't be proper for you to do the cooking plus I was the one who promised you lunch" I quickly said feeling very much guilty.

"Chill, I understand, but I am the one offering to cook you something especially after what your eyes just told me," he said and I looked at him for a while feeling a bit guilty but really touched.

"ahhh, fine but know that what happened doesn't mean I am weak," I said with a pout

"Sure" he chuckled

"And at least wear an apron" I added as I took the red apron by the refrigerator and he stopped his cutting then faced me and I put it on him then went behind him and noted it.

"There you go now you can cook, and I can assist you," I said with a bright smile.

"Nahhhh just go rest I know you're tired," he said with a cute smile and I almost felt like giving him a tight hug.

I was exhausted no kidding, my legs were feeling weak. I ran all the way back home without stopping just so I won't cry on the way till I get home.

"Thanks, I will make it up to you," I said as I yawned and walked to my room immediately falling on my bed, and blacking out.
