[For the amount of complete bullshit that Yukyun has spouted about what vampires are like, it wouldn't be a surprise if Hyunsoo had a completely different picture painted in his head by this point. He spouts off quotes and references from dumb vampire movies so often already anyway....honestly, some of the vampire movies are probably more accurate than his own rendition by now.
But there's not a whole lot Hyunsoo really needs to know right now, since he's staying a human for a while longer yet. Yukyun will tell him anything that's absolutely vital, but...the only thing that'll really benefit him is just knowing to keep the hell away from most vampires. It's not worth the risk to go waltzing up to anyone that might not actually live around here, and Hyunsoo's not familiar enough with them to have all the names and faces memorized. Honestly if anything, that might be what's best for him to keep track of for now.
At Hyunsoo's question though, the grin on his face widens.]
Of course. It'll practically be like an instant strength boost compared to how you are now.
[Well...maybe "instant" isn't the best word to use. Because there'll still be a whole lot of adjusting that Hyunsoo will have to do to get used to everything. But..then again, he will still be stronger right away. It's the honing of those abilities that really matters though.
No matter how Yukyun acts now, he'll be a good teacher when the time comes. There's no point in wasting some of the most vital moments when Hyunsoo's still newborn, after all. There's no way to know exactly how things will turn out, but that's exactly why he's going to play it safe. Even he can't predict exactly how vicious the human will end up turning once he's trying to prove his strength for Yukyun.
For now though, he's not going to worry about that. And he leans in closer, like he's about to tell Hyunsoo an important secret.]
Strong enough to punch through walls.
[This is said with just as much "seriousness". Even though it's probably sounding a lot more questionable.]
[ See, this is exactly the problem. It's not like Hyunsoo has been with Yukyun for a super long time now, but it's at least been enough to know the basics about the other.. mostly the fact that Yukyun just loves joking around all the time - the fact that he pretended to be something other than a vampire while approaching Hyunsoo tipped him off to that much. But since Yukyun pretty much always has this nonchalant air about him, it's hard to tell where the border between things he's joking about and things he's serious about lies. He hasn't seen the other have to get super serious for anything, which only makes it harder.
It makes the truth and the bullshit all blur together in his mind, and Hyunsoo's mental image about vampires is pretty skewed at this point. So much so that he can't even directly place what the vampire king is saying now in either category. It sounds a little ridiculous, like something out of a comic book, but on the other hand.. why couldn't vampires do that? They're supernatural, and it's not like Yukyun said anything ridiculous like punching planets, so maybe it's just true...
... And then there's the fact he totally did just sneak into the bed of a vampire king (which Yukyun still is, no matter how ridiculous he acts most of the time) and could still potentially end up facing some sort of punishment if he's being too rude and questioning him too much on things that end up not being jokes.
It's a delicate balance, but it's one that ends up definitely being tipped over by how much of a coward Hyunsoo is. The fact he doesn't really want to question Yukyun too much in these early phases of getting to live with the other makes him just assume it's true.
It's easily visible too. The moment he decides it must be true, Hyunsoo looks kind of amazed. He's probably imagining himself actually punching through walls and seeming.. well, cool for once. It's one of those moments where he looks even a little bit younger than his actual age, like he's getting excited to the point he can't even fully hide it on the outside, no matter how much he'd want to. ]
Then.. I'll have to do that stuff a lot once I'm a vampire too, right?
[ He's totally imagining himself as a cool superhero. Shut up. He thinks it's awesome and totally embarrassing at the same time, which is definitely why he won't bring it up in that context. No matter how much that question sounds oddly hopeful, and how his heart is racing a little again as he's lying there against Yukyun. ]

Since I'd be your right hand man.
