Typical, that is, until her friend drops off a rather inebriated -- though breathtakingly beautiful -- young man at her apartment one evening. That night, Jae dreams that the stranger visits her in her room ... and drinks her blood! But was it really all just a dream? Could this handsome creature truly be a blood-thirsty vampire? And if Jae actually considers his ominous proposition, will she be entering into a deal with the devil? less

He tells her that this is his room, and reveals to Jae that Michael isn't his biological father. Michael confronts Eva for telling Jae to quickly leave. As punishment for stepping out of line, Michael attempts to bite Eva. However, something attacks Michael so he stops. Eva tells Michael that if she has broken the rules then so did he when he told Jae about herself. Eva feels that Jae will affect Ken. Michael tells Eva that Ken is only playing with Jae and doesn't have any true emotions for her. Eva tells Michael that he could be wrong, especially since his heart had stopped feeling love long ago. Rachel meets with Michael, and he tells her to show her real self. A spirit, named Adrian, comes out of Rachel. Later, Ken finds Eva in the garden, crying. Ken comforts her and tells Eva that he, in the nick of time, realized what he truly wanted. Basically, he alludes to wanting to take Jae away from Michael. Eva is shocked. That night, Michael arrives at Jae's room, drunk, and he tells her to take her time in painting his portrait. Michael awakes in the morning and is about to bite Jae but he stops himself. It's drama when Ken finds out that Michael was in Jae's room. less

A premonition of the future? We then follow Ken's story of growing up on the estate with Eva. Taking the job as Michael's servant allows Eva and Ken to stay together. But Ken hasn't yet met Michael. Ken almost stumbles upon the two adults one night, but Michael quickly disappears and three more years go past before Ken next encounters the vampire, this time in a giant underground swimming pool that ends up being Michael's bathtub! (Eva agrees to be Michael's servant because it's the only way she and Ken can stay together and also because Eva loves Michael and wants to be near him. Also, Eva isn't his real mother, though it's unclear how they came together.) Two more years pass before he officially meets Michael. He tells Jae that when he met him, he knew he wanted Michael to be his father. Jae is surprised because Ken seems to hate Michael so much, she assumed he always hated Michael. Years later, Ken returns from vacation and finds Michael and Eva in bed together with two other women. Ken's idea of being a family is destroyed and he begins to hate Michael. Jae tells Ken that she sees them as one family. Ken admits he came onto Jae to get between her and Michael because he didn't want Eva to be hurt. Now he says he's falling for her. Meanwhile, Michael asks Jae to be with Ken since he and Eva can no longer give him the love he needs. Then he tells her Eva is Ken's mother and they share the same soul. But then Michael talks to Adrian and we learn that there's been a plot about bringing Jae here all along. She's supposed to fall for Ken. Jae is about to reveal the big secret that Eva really is his real mother when she passes out-as does Ken. Michael and Adrian carry them away. less

A lifetime of deceit and pain is exposed to Jae! The truth about Adrian is revealed...but what will it mean for Ken? And as for Michael, the years of loneliness and emptiness have taken their toll. Can he allow himself to hope for something more with Jae--or will this truly be the end of it all? The final volume of Model will reveal everything!
