YEAR 2034
12 YEARS LATER

"You can do this, baby." Danah looks at her son with so much hope in her eyes. "Just imagine a home like ours, except with Vampires."

It had been five months since she had noticed that her son had Vampire powers, and one of them was to teleport. She found this out one day when he begged her so much to go to Disneyland then all of sudden they were there.

"If I do, will I meet Papa?" Dawon innocently bit his lower lip. He had only heard of Jungwon through his mother's stories, but he didn't know what he looked like.

Danah nods, "Yes. He's out there somewhere, waiting for us." That was partly a lie, Jungwon definitely doesn't know he is a dad... yet. "He will be so excited to meet you."

"If he would be so excited to meet me, why didn't he come himself?" Dawon frowns to himself.

Danah's heart drops to her stomach. "It's just because he doesn't have the power that you have," she attempts to be enthusiastic. "Don't think that way, baby."

"Okay, mommy." he tries to imitate her energy. "I'm excited to see what he looks like!"

"That's the spirit," she giggles, poking his dimple that he got from his dad. "You're also going to meet Auntie Minji~"

"I'm so excited to see her!" he exclaims with two fists in the air.

"Me too," Danah softly says, planting a kiss on his forehead. "Let's do it?"

Dawon nods, "Yes." With that, he closes his eyes and imagines the Vampire realm that Danah described to him so thoroughly.

It wasn't long before a whirlwind of magical dust engulfs the mother and son. Danah flinched from the sudden rapidness so she holds on to Dawon who was too focused to notice.

In a matter of seconds, they were no longer in their living room but in a place only familiar to Danah. Dawon opens an eye then the other, "Where are we?"

Danah felt so many different emotions at once. She looks around, smiling ear to ear. "We are at your daddy's castle." By now, Jungwon would have been king.

"Wow!" Dawon claps. Overjoyed but uncertain, Danah grabs her son's wrist and takes him to where the throne would be. Although it had been twelve years since she'd last been here, she remembered every place like she'd been here yesterday.

Suddenly, her mind was stimulated with beautiful flashbacks; The memories she had, when she was 18 years old, of her youth that belonged to Yang Jungwon.

So that they'd move faster, Danah carries Dawon and continues to run at a fast pace. She comes to a sudden stop when in front of the door she was looking for. Behind it, she could hear muffled but familiar voices.

"I think we should have mint chocolate for tomorrow's event!" That was Sunoo.

Danah couldn't help but make sure she looked good. She puts Dawon down to prep her hair and outfit. She hasn't seen Jungwon in a while, so she wanted to be presentable.

"Definitely not, no mint choco." That was Sunghoon's voice.

"Never." Jake. He had such a distinct voice due to his leaking Australian accent.

"Why not?" Niki! "Sunoo hyung would eat it all anyway." This earns him an annoyed scoff from Sunoo.

"Jungwon would definitely want Mom is an Alien ice cream," Jay brings up.

Hearing that name, Danah couldn't take it anymore. She bursts through the door, Dawon beside her.

Everyone in the room snaps their faces to her direction, not expecting a guest at all. Furthermore, she was the last person they'd expect.

The boys couldn't believe who was in front of their eyes, jaws dropping. "Danah?!" Jay chokes on his saliva.

"Hi," she shyly says as she walks into the room, softly tugging her son with her.

Silence.
Everyone was in too much shock, not believing they'd see an old friend from a decade ago.

"Guys?"

Then, everyone begins crowding her.
"How did you get here?!"
"I don't get it."
"How have you been?!"
"You look older!"
Danah was flustered. She was now in her 30s while everyone else looked practically the same age as when she last saw them 12 years ago.

"You guys haven't aged a bit," she jokes. She was no longer 18, so her face had gotten fuller and she gained a little weight, and the boys noticed.

"And who is this little guy?" Jake bends down to see eye-to-eye with Dawon who was timidly clinging to his mom.

"Dawon-ah, meet your uncles!" Danah rubs his head.

"Hi," his voice nervously shook. They all greet him back.

"He brought me here using his Vampire powers," Danah explains, and everyone looks at Dawon in awe.

"I-Is he Jungwon's?" An uneasy voice that she didn't expect to hear came from the direction of the throne, pointing at her son.

Danah furrows her brows, looking at the throne to see Heeseung sitting on it. Danah was instantly confused, wasn't Jungwon next in line?

"Y-Yes, wait — Why are you sitting on Jungwon's throne?" She still saw Heeseung as the traitor, she couldn't believe Jungwon would let him sit on his seat.

"He looks a lot like him," Heeseung ignores her, staring at Dawon in awe. He jokes, "I almost forgot what Jungwon looked like in real life. Thanks for reminding me!"

Danah's eyes widen, and he realizes he said too much. "Shit," Sunghoon curses at his friend. By the looks of it, the other five boys had the same reaction.

"Wait, where's Jungwon?" Danah queries. Silence. "Guys?"

"I just want to meet my dad," Dawon pouts, not understanding the severity of the situation. This very scene broke the heart's of the six men.

"Danah, I think we should sit down and—"

She cuts Sunoo off, "Where is he?!" Dawon started feeling startled by his mom's sudden outburst. "You guys were talking about an event tomorrow in which he suggested an ice cream flavour, no?!"

"It's because tomorrow is his memorial..." Niki trails off.

What?
Danah's whole world falls apart. She didn't know tears were falling out until Dawon tip-toes to wipe them.

Danah drops to her knees in disbelief. Dawon looks at her, bewildered at what was going on.

"No one saw it coming," Sunoo seemed like he was holding back tears.

"He was just so heartbroken when you disappeared from his arms," Jay slowly blinks as if reliving the brutal moment.

Jungwon never got to grow old, instead he succumbed to the pain that destiny cursed him with. Danah had once thought he'd be in her future, but all he was now was someone who existed in her past.

"B-but he really wanted to be king so bad," she chokes in her sobs.

Heeseung's lip slowly quivered. "I'm so sorry, Danah. Jungwon died eleven years ago today due to heart failure, months after your disappearance."
