Synopsis
Jae is surprised to learn that Michael continues to practice his own art. In fact, it's how he makes his "living." But his paintings aren't just paint and canvas, the figures can actually come to life as the figures become spirits who fly away. The more Jae learns, the more questions she has, and the more she wants to learn everything about the vampire Michael. She begins questioning others, but she soon learns everything is a secret at this estate. Meanwhile, both Michael and Ken seem to be vying to Jae's sexual attention. They've both kissed her, but is it passion on Ken's part, or competition? Ken seems to take pleasure in playing games with Jae, confessing his passion one moment, then saying it was a joke the next. Finally, the arrival of a new guest brings about new revelations! Rachel Dubon arrives a week earlier than her "appointment" in which she is supposed to have her painting done by Michael. However, she recognizes Eva (the servants) as a former super model. This only raises more questions for Jae. She asks Michael who reveals part of her past and how she ruined her career by refusing to wear a designer's clothes on the runway and instead came out nude. Rachel is a huge fan of Eva's former career (which was many years ago). She even carries a giant poster of Eva around with her. But Rachel is a racist who hates "Orientals" and she and Jae have an argument before Ken breaks it up.

Synopsis
In Chapter 5, Jae struggles with the idea of leaving the mansion. Michael wants her to leave because he knows that she is a temptation for him. But, she refuses to leave until the issues and questions she has surrounding Michael, Ken and Eva are resolved. We see a glimpse of Michael's life as a human and his earlier interactions with Adrian. Jae essentially views Michael's former life through a hallucination/vision, and is surprised by Michael's life as a human. She is shaken by the visions, and only increases her curiosity. We also learn that Eva and Michael had an agreement concerning Ken in which Eva wanted Ken to become a vampire by Michael's doing. Michael does make Ken into a vampire, which will be final in two weeks. He blames Eva for making him do this. Ken falls into a deep sleep, in which he apparently undergoes a semi-transformation into a vampire. When he wakes up, he decides he wants to leave with Jae. Meanwhile, Michael cannot withstand the temptation of Jae, and they finally have sex; and she gives herself to him both physically and emotionally. The result is that Jae falls in love with Michael.
Ken is also in love with Jae, and painfully finds out the truth about Michael and Jae. Michael agrees to give Jae two final weeks in which to finish his portrait, and at the end of the two weeks, she must leave the house. Jae agrees to leave the house with Ken at the end of the two weeks, but she admits to Ken her new feelings for Michael. The story ends with Ken confronting Michael and Jae revealing her strong feelings for Michael."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
