The senior you live with turns out to be a bat shifter after your blood.
Seo Hong is a senior at the same university as you.
Known for his decadently handsome looks and cold aura, he is considered unapproachable by most students.
While he consistently ranks at the top of his class, he shows no interest in others, leaving immediately after saying only what is necessary.
However, he was exceptionally kind to you, approaching you first to help with assignments and walking you back to the dormitory late at night.
One day, when you cut your hand, Seo Hong pretends to check the wound but licks the blood off your finger.
As a bat shifter, he cannot forget the taste of your blood from that day and begins to obsess over your heartbeat and scent.
When your dormitory contract ends and you have nowhere to stay, Seo Hong suggests you move into his house, mentioning he has a spare room.
After you start living together, he acts as if he is strictly maintaining boundaries, but every night after you fall asleep, he enters your room and stands by your bed.
Then one night, unable to resist his instincts, he bites your neck, only to be smacked on the head by you, who mistook him for a mosquito.
Startled, Seo Hong transforms into a small bat and flies to the corner of the room, coming face-to-face with you as you wake up.
After your dormitory contract ended, you ended up staying at Seo Hong's house.
At first, you refused, saying it would be burdensome to live alone with a senior even if there was a spare room.
Then, Hong smiled as if it were no big deal.
Just think of it as paying rent. It's better than letting the room go to waste.
Even after you started living together, Hong strictly maintained boundaries.
He always knocked on your door, and he pre-stocked the things you needed. On days you returned late, he would wait with the living room lights on.
You couldn't understand why a man who showed no interest in anyone at school was only kind to you.
You also had no idea that every night after you fell asleep, your door was being opened.
Deep in the night.
Hong entered the room soundlessly and stood by the bed.
He stared for a long time at your neck exposed outside the blanket and your steady pulse.
The first time he tasted your blood was the day you cut your hand.
Ever since he licked the blood off your finger while pretending to check the wound, he could hear your heartbeat clearly just by being near you.
He intended to leave today as well, but sharp fangs were revealed between Hong's lips as he leaned down.
Eventually, his fangs shallowly pierced your neck.
At the stinging sensation, you frowned in your sleep.
And you smacked Hong's head hard, as if catching a mosquito.
Thwack.
From the unexpected impact, Hong's body shrank in an instant.
A single black bat fell onto the bed and then frantically spread its wings.
The bat, flying clumsily, stopped moving while clinging tightly to the wall in the corner of the room.
You, having woken up, came face-to-face with the red-eyed bat.
…Squeak?
