Deep in the forest. A large corporation is renovating a long-abandoned mansion, untouched by human footsteps for ages, into a hotel. Access roads and surrounding facilities are still unfinished, leaving only a narrow path wide enough for a single car to pass. New employees from the conglomerate arrive for training. Two hundred people—young male and female new hires from various subsidiaries, managers, and instructors—enter the hotel, which is effectively closed off. Beneath this hotel lies a secret space still untouched. Vampires and zombies dwell here. Well, not exactly 'dwell'—they're asleep. Trapped in their own separate underground chambers, isolated from each other. Why? Just assume they are. Things somehow ended up this way. This story begins with that status quo. The new hires were thrilled to enter this brand-new hotel, still wrapped in its packaging. Romances blossomed... They drank and caused trouble... Young men and women, united by the pride of landing jobs at a major corporation, their sense of belonging and selfesteem at an extreme high, were as excited as could be. Naturally, all sorts of things happened. The clichés you see in movies... You know what I mean? As always, one of the company's senior executives who knows about the secret space is mixed in among them. He came along as a manager. In truth, that senior executive came under the secret orders of the conglomerate's chairman. The chairman of the conglomerate who inherited that grand mansion from his late father. The chairman's late father, passing away not long ago, had requested that the mansion be torn down and returned to nature. Naturally, the chairman does the exact opposite. 'I heard there's something underground...Could it be gold bars? That old fool went crazy in his twilight years, suddenly talking about donations he never made before, and now it seems he just wants to bury it all...' The chairman had insisted on converting that remote mountain mansion into a hotel precisely so he could search it thoroughly without anyone noticing. But during the conversion, they found nothing. The CEO's order to the senior executive: "Send in two hundred new hires. They'll stumble into accidents and mishaps, and eventually, they'll find something, right? So don't control them too much. Just let them be. If anything happens, report it to me immediately!" As the boss expected, a secret space is discovered. (I'll have to figure out how exactly it gets discovered later—some back-and-forth episode or something~) In that secret space, a vampire and a zombie each awaken. Vampire: What the hell is this? How long have I been out? Where's my girlfriend? Anyway, I'm starving. Can't hold it in. (The vampire is a bit sly, but not a bad guy. Even before falling asleep, he rarely drank human blood. 'Whether it's dog blood or cat blood, just drink and live' – he's all about living easy.) Zombie: .... (Zombies aren't mindless. They can actually speak. They just don't bother. They bite people out of instinct, but that doesn't mean they eat flesh...) I don't do things like eating. I don't need to eat. Zombies just exist, that's all. I was sleeping well, and I'm furious about being woken up. My teeth are itching. ) Vampires suck blood, zombies bite. New vampires, humans turned into vampires, turn other newcomers into new vampires, and new zombies turn other new zombies. New employee training becomes a recruitment ground for new vampires and new zombies. The new employees compete fiercely at this task too, so two hundred people instantly become either vampires or zombies. Various stories emerge during this process. This part should lean into clichés. The bad guy pushes others to get bitten first while escaping, only to get bitten himself later. A righteous person protecting others appears. A high-ranking executive risks death, sacrificing others to report to the boss, only to be abandoned by the boss... You know, that sort of thing... The infection process itself should fundamentally be not serious but funny. A setting where comedy comes out a lot. Now only one man and one woman remain. They had mutual interest in each other. They were just starting to flirt. The vampire faction and the zombie faction threaten, persuade, and even flatter these two to claim them. "If you bite me, I'll give you the diamond ring I wore as a wedding gift" (a proposal from a married newbie woman who became a vampire). In the end, the man becomes a vampire, and the woman becomes a zombie. (Why did the man become a vampire and the woman a zombie? Zombies are creepier and scarier... It's foreshadowing for a scene later on.) Sharing fear and suffering deepens their love, yet the man and woman cannot endure this situation. This isn't Romeo and Juliet—what is it? It's worse. Like cats and monkeys, they've become entirely different species... What should we do? Let's just bite each other and die. Like a final kiss, they bite each other's necks. Their sharp teeth slowly sink into each other's necks. Blood flows... and through that blood, pink bacteria enter each other's bodies. An erotic situation where pink bacteria are exchanged like hearts. Zombie bacteria enter the vampire, and vampire bacteria enter the zombie. Within the blood vessels of both bodies, the vampire bacteria and zombie bacteria combine. The bacteria cancel each other out as they kill one another, eventually disappearing. The two quickly become normal again. Upon seeing this, the vampires and zombies now pair off in twos like a mating game, biting each other. It shows a vision of love fireworks bursting everywhere. Everyone becomes normal. Even the original vampire and zombie who were there become normal people. Once they became normal, it turned out the original zombie was the original vampire's girlfriend. A passionate embrace between lovers who had spent a long time together. As always happens in pairing games, three were left unmatched at the end: two vampires and one zombie. They scrambled to pair off into two groups. After a scuffle, the three of them just end up biting each other. The one who was a zombie gets twice the vampire strain, leaving some vampire tendencies behind. He becomes incredibly fond of red drinks and extremely sensitive to taste and smell, eventually becoming the hotel's head sommelier. The two hundred people in the hotel all promise to keep what happened here a secret. Would the world believe us? And our true selves inside here, our ugly selves trying to kill and survive each other—let's forget and live. Keep it a secret until we die... The 'passionate training period' that literally made their blood boil has ended. Ultimately, they all experienced much about the human world. What each gained differed somewhat, but isn't that the nature of training? Even given the same thing, everyone gains something different in their own way. They all became different people than before, leaving the hotel spread across several buses just as they had arrived. Slowly moving buses, the bright morning sunlight rising before them. The morning sun illuminated the hotel's main entrance. The hotel's sharp shadow stretched long behind it, pointing deep into the mountains. Like an arrow signaling the late patriarch's directive to return to nature... (Epilogue: Following the arrow-like shadow of the hotel, the camera plunges deep into the forest. There lies the grave of the late father. Beside it, the late father stands perfectly upright. Knowing the secret of becoming a vampire, he had become one himself. To live forever... Having watched everything that happened at the hotel over the past few days, the late father, who had been present for it all, walks deeper into the forest alone. 'I thought I'd create a new world with fresh ones... What a pity.' ) - The End -
