You’re shocked, confused, but soon upset when you realize you reincarnated as the friend who died in the beginning in the novel! No even remembered that bastard, he always acted like the Mc was crazy about the whole supernatural things happening.

With the knowledge that you were simply going to die again as a useless side character whose sole purpose was to give the MC trauma, you knew what you had to do.

You would influence MC, Ohm, to go for the vampire hunter, Gemini. Things were pretty easy at first as you were lucky enough to transport not even half way through the novel’s first ten chapters. So Ohm had no attachment to devil’s incarnate yet.

You’d do simple things based on your knowledge of how things would play out, pushing Gemini into spots the bloodsucker was supposed to be. Which worked great… until said nuisance now technically had no punching bag to bother.

So… he turned to you. His name was Seua but you hated him too much to really say his name.

“(Name), you’re wearing a low v-neck shirt, are you trying to tempt me?”

“Your glares are just too cute.”

You’d occasionally punch him… but he’d only laugh in response.

“Was that supposed to hurt? You should train a bit more, babe.”

It was the most annoying thing ever. Not to mention the fact he loved trying to bite you at every opportunity. You started wearing long sleeved sweaters due to him.

There was an incident in the art room when you had to change your sweater due to a paint spill. As soon as you took off your shirt, Seua pushed you against the wall, holding your hands above your head.

“What are you doing?” You cried out, glaring at him.

“You’re so tempting,” he whispered, his fangs teasing your bare neck. “A clean canvas for me to paint, how can I just ignore it?”

He almost took a bite when Ohm entered the room. You swiftly kicked him in the balls and broke free.

You tried ignoring the bastard after that incident and continued on trying to push Ohm and Gemini together. It went so good that you were able to get them to agree to a date.

Unfortunately… you forgot the date of said date.

April 4th.

The day you’re supposed to die.

You were stressed the entire day, knowing that you were supposed to sacrifice yourself for MC—traumatize him so he’ll get pushed into his love interest’s arms. Even though you didn’t want to die, you sincerely hoped it would be Gemini’s arms Ohm ran to.

However, due to the date, Seua was bothering you all day. He wouldn’t leave you alone! Wherever you went—he was two steps behind you talking all sorts of nonsense. You tried tuning him out, wondering where exactly your soul would go after you die here.

There was so many thoughts in your head that you hadn’t even noticed Seua’s vampire friend had joined you both. But.. he wasn’t supposed to be here yet. The whole scene was that said friend and Ohm got into an argument, then Gemini showed up which angered the vampire since Gemini killed his friends.

The vampire would try to attack Gemini but would get killed, however another vampire was waiting in the shadows. It would reach out to attack Ohm first as Gemini and Seua was too busy with the other vampire… then you (or the original character) would step in front of Ohm, getting violently slashed by the vampire before Gemini was able to kill it.

Then blah blah blah, death speech and he died. But the vampire that was supposed to originally kill Gemini didn’t look upset like he’s supposed to be. He’s even joking with Seua… you’re confused to say the least.

Even as Ohm and Gemini joins you all after their date, the vampire isn’t upset at the sight of Gemini. In fact… the two don’t know each other. You thought back to the fact you’ve been forcing Gemini to abandon any previous actions he was supposed to complete to hang out with Ohm.

Did that mean he didn’t get the time to kill those vampires?

“Hey, why are you thinking so hard?” Seua asked, teasingly pulling at your cheeks. He smiled at you, his fangs peeking out. Even Seua had changed a bit.. he was less grumpy as he was in the original novel. It took almost the entire novel before he gave Ohm a small smile after they had sex.

You tried thinking, wondering just how much did you change the plot when an angry hunter approached you all. You couldn’t even remember who his character was—but you didn’t even get the chance to think as he began shooting bullets at Seua and his friend.

He was a terrible shot and you practically saw in slow motion as one bullet was heading right for your head. You weren’t even protecting Ohm this time.. just caught in the crossfire for standing close to the vampires. Gemini disarmed the hunter but it was too late.

You closed your eyes, ready to die once more. Hoping that your death leads to Ohm and Gemini dating and maybe having hot trauma bonding sex later, like in the novel with him and Seua. Only you realized you were being hugged tightly. You slowly opened one eye to peak up and see Seua standing in front of you… and an open bullet wound in his brain.

You collapsed onto the ground with him limp in your arms. Your mind was blank as you slowly processed what happened. The tears happened immediately as you clutched his body tightly, having not expected him to do something so risky.

“Seua… Seua, that can’t have killed you, c’mon, he.. he didn’t use a silver bullet did he? Seua? Here, drink my blood, please. Don’t..” you reached up and pulled open your shirt, pressing his face against your neck. The way his body was limp in your arms was sending you into a panic.

“Seua, stop teasing the poor guy,” the vampire suddenly said, shivering at the sight. “It’s embarrassing, really.”

Ohm and Gemini nodded, a slight frown on both of their lips.

You blinked, glancing down at Seua. His body shook slightly before he began laughing. His once limp arms found themselves wrapped around your waist as he pulled your impossibly closer to him.

“So you do care?” Seua whispered against your neck, his fangs running against your bare throat. “Who knew I just had to die for you to finally stop hiding behind that little bravado of yours?”

“You—?! Ngh!”

He sunk his fangs deep into your neck, a hand gripping the back of your head as he kept you still. The pain was almost unbearable until an odd sense of arousal began to affect you. You had read about this in the novel—when Seua had to drink Ohm’s blood.

You head lulled back as he tightened his grip on your waist, taking his fill of your blood. A strange almost loud moan left your lips. Your pants began to feel tight, fingers gripping tightly at his jacket as you tried to ground yourself.

Seua pulled away a moment later, his eyes blood red while his lips were coated in your blood. He smirked at you as he took in your eyes that were clouded with lust.

“It looks like you have a little problem… need my help?”

Yeah, this is too long to be a Drabble but shhhhhhh. This is basically like those Thai bl pilots they be posting on YouTube that just tells you the whole plot lol.

Anyway, I just like the thought of vampires getting their victims horny when they drink their blood. A full fic would definitely include a blood kink… and a manipulative OC, he literally played dead just to upset you
