BLOODLINES: The Boys of Moonvale
PROLOGUE
"Some stories begin with love. Ours began with blood."
[Moonvale Forest | 11 Years Ago | 2:43 AM]
Footsteps echo through the forest.
Like the person walking already knows how this story ends.
？？？
??? I did everything you asked.
？？？
I stayed.
I lied.
I protected you.
A figure steps out of the darkness.
Their face can't be seen.
？？？
That was your first mistake
Thunder cracks across the sky.
？？？
That's why you have to disappear
A scream tears through the forest
[Moonvale | Present Day | 11:57 PM]
Felix Lee
Do you ever get the feeling that something is wrong
Felix Lee
Not bad.
Not scary.
Just...
Wrong
Felix Lee
Like you're living in a place that remembers things you're trying to forget.
Felix Lee
Everyone says grief gets easier.
I don't think that's true.
I think you just learn how to carry it.
It's been three months since the accident.
Three months since I lost everything.
And somehow...
I still wake up expecting to hear their voices.
Rain taps softly against the window.
Felix Lee
Maybe that's why I can't sleep tonight.
Or maybe it's because something happened at school today.
Something I can't explain.
I met someone.
Felix Lee
No.
That's not right.
It felt less like meeting someone...
And more like remembering them.
Felix Lee
The strange part?
He looked at me like he'd been looking for me his entire life.
And for some reason...
I think I was looking for him too.
Felix Lee
Wait.
What was that?
The sound of footsteps outside
Felix Lee
No.
That's impossible.
Felix slowly walks toward the window.
Felix Lee
He's just standing there.
In the rain.
Looking up at me.
And I swear to God...
He's smiling.
CHAPTER 1[The Boy With The Saddest Smile]
📍Moonvale | September 3 | 7:12 AM
📱 Alarm 🔔 WAKE UP. 🔔 WAKE UP. 🔔 WAKE UP.
Felix Lee
I'm filing a restraining order against this alarm.
Felix Lee
Why are you awake?
Han Jisung
Why are you not?
Felix Lee
Because I respect myself.
Han Jisung
Open your curtains.
Felix groans and walks to the window.
Han is standing outside his house, holding two iced coffees and grinning.
Han Jisung
Good morning, sunshine.
Han Jisung
And you're late.
📍Outside Felix's House | 7:40 AM
Han Jisung
You look terrible.
Felix Lee
Still thank you.
Han sighs and hands him a coffee.
Felix Lee
Why are you always nice when I'm miserable?
Han Jisung
Because somebody has to be.
He just walks beside him.
Sometimes, that helps more.
📍Moonvale High School | 8:10 AM
The school is louder than usual.
Someone already crying on the first day.
Felix Lee
I hate that sentence.
Han Jisung
I hate responsibility.
Han Jisung
Then today will be difficult.
Kim Seungmin
You forgot I existed again, didn't you?
Kim Seungmin
I was gone for one summer.
Han Jisung
I thought you died.
Kim Seungmin
I visited my grandmother.
Felix Lee
To be fair, Han thinks everyone dies.
Han Jisung
Because one day, I'll be right.
Suddenly, the hallway falls silent.
Every student turns toward the entrance.
And forgets how to breathe.
A boy stands near the entrance.
Not in a normal way.
In the way storms are beautiful.
Dangerous.
The boy slowly lifts his head.
And somehow—It doesn't feel like meeting.
It feels like remembering.
Like he's spent his entire life searching for something.
But Han doesn't sound curious.
Han Jisung
His name is Hwang Hyunjin.
Han Jisung
Transfer Student
Kim Seungmin
You stared at him for seven minutes.
Kim Seungmin
Six minutes and fifty-two seconds.
Han Jisung
You have a crush.
Kim Seungmin
You absolutely do.
He hasn't stopped thinking about those eyes.
📍Felix's Bedroom | 11:56 PM
Rain taps softly against the window.
Felix stares at the ceiling.
Then back at the ceiling.
Instead, he's thinking about Hwang Hyunjin.
UNKNOWN NUMBER
"Be careful tomorrow"
The reply comes instantly.
"Some monsters don't look like monsters"
His heart starts beating faster.
Felix Lee
What does that mean?
"And some monsters fall in love"
Then everything goes dark.
Then everything goes dark.
Right outside his window.
Slowly, he turns toward the glass.
And standing in the rain—
And somehow, Felix already knows.
His life is about to change forever.

CHAPTER 2[The Boy Outside My Window]
📍Felix's Bedroom | 12:01 AM
The lights are still out.
The only sound in the room is the rain.
And the only thing Felix can see is Hwang Hyunjin standing outside his window.
Felix Lee
This isn't funny.
Hwang Hyunjin
I wasn't trying to be funny.
Felix Lee
How did you get up here?
Just that same sad smile.
The kind that makes Felix feel like he's forgotten something important.
Felix Lee
There's no balcony.
Hwang Hyunjin
Can I come in?
The question catches Felix off guard.
Felix Lee
You're soaking wet.
For the first time, Hyunjin laughs.
And somehow heartbreaking.
Hwang Hyunjin
Is that your way of saying yes?
He simply unlocks the window.
The cold wind rushes into the room.
And then Hyunjin is there..
One second he's outside.
The next, he's standing in Felix's bedroom.
Close enough that Felix can smell rain and something else
Hyunjin looks around the room.
At the books.
The photos.
The half-empty glass of water beside the bed.
As if he's seen them all before.
Hwang Hyunjin
I ask myself that question every day.
Felix Lee
You're avoiding it.
A flash of lightning illuminates the room.
For one terrifying second, Hyunjin's eyes don't look human.
Then the light disappears.
And he's just a boy again.
A beautiful boy.
A sad boy.
Standing in Felix's room at midnight.
Felix Lee
You sent those messages.
Hyunjin's smile disappears.
Hwang Hyunjin
Someone who shouldn't know you exist.
A chill runs through Felix.
Felix Lee
Why would anyone be looking for me?
Hyunjin finally looks at him.
Like he's trying to memorize every detail.
Hwang Hyunjin
Because you're important.
The silence stretches between them.
Outside, thunder shakes the windows.
Inside, Felix's heart beats too fast.
The words hit harder than they should.
Because Felix doesn't know this boy.
Felix Lee
We've never met.
Hyunjin's expression breaks.
Just enough for Felix to see the pain.
Hwang Hyunjin
I wish that were true.
Another flash of lightning.
Another rumble of thunder.
And for the first time that night, Felix isn't afraid of the storm.
He's afraid of the way Hyunjin is looking at him.
Like he's already lost him once.
And can't survive losing him again.
