Taehyung walked with his hands in his jacket pockets. He blew out a puff of air, shivering in the cold. The only sounds that could be heard were that of the blond's shoes being engulfed in the snow every time he took a step and the faint howling of the wind.

The blond brought his hands to his face, rubbing them together to create heat due to friction, before cupping his hands and blowing air into the concavity his palms formed. He quickly placed his hands back into the safe warmth of his pockets.

Taehyung stopped once he reached the now long-abandoned bridge. There was exposed metal hanging out of the concrete structure, and the pillars holding the bridge up looked old, as if they could collapse anytime soon. The water below the bridge was murky. It seemed to be of the same color that the result of mixing every coloured paint would be.

The blond was about to walk past the bridge and continue on his way, but he stopped, and squinted, confused as to whether he was seeing correctly or not. Taehyung got closer, confirming his assumption. Through the snowy gusts of wind, the blond could make out the outline of a boy, snowy gusts of wind blowing past him as he treacherously balanced on the railing of the bridge, the metal structure creaking noisily under his weight as if it could break off any second.

Taehyung ran as fast as he could, adrenaline surging through his bloodstream, and reached the boy within a second, pulling him away from the railing, just as the rusted structure gave way. The two fell back onto the bridge, the boy on top of the blond. The sound of the piece of railing splashing into the water below reached their ears.

The boy scrambled off of Taehyung. The hood of his sweater fell off his head, displaying his face. He looked around Taehyung's age. Taehyung winced as he supported his weight onto his elbow, before getting up and dusting off his pants. Taehyung was about to look up, when the boy shoved him, making him fall back onto the ground.

"What the hell!?" Taehyung yelled from the ground.

"Why did you do that!?" The boy screamed.

Taehyung grimaced. The boy had shoved him quite hard. He seemed much stronger than he looked. The blond looked up at the boy.

"What do you mean!? I saved your as-"

"It was none of your business." The boy spat out, looking at Taehyung with a loathing expression.

"What?" Taehyung asked as he got up from the ground, a shocked expression on his face. "You were going to kill yourself?"

The boy looked away, clenching his jaw. He hadn't realized how awful the words sounded until they were spoken out loud. "What did it look like I was doing, you idiot?"

Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows. The boy seemed familiar. Perhaps..

"Wait a second...you're a vampire too, aren't you? I've seen you before!" Taehyung recalled seeing the boy at a clan meeting once.
