Times like this are the ones that Taehyung enjoys most.

Pumping his legs as fast as he can, he speeds across the cracked cement sidewalk with ragged, exhilarating breathes as the air slices through his fur.

"Get back here, you crazy feline!"

The holler bounces off of the worn brick buildings, accompanied by heavy footsteps right on his tail. Taehyung speeds up, determined to get away from animal control. He had succeeded many times before, after all.

Taehyung knows these streets better than anyone else, this is where he thrives. He had outsmarted every one of those big, clumsy men with uniforms and nets more times than he can count. He was always just a little bit faster, a little bit wiser, one step ahead and just out of reach.

This is his domain.

Swiftly Taehyung skrrt-skrrt's to pause right outside a narrow alleyway blocked by a chain-link fence. He scales it easily, lands gracefully on the other side, and turns in time to see his pursuer slam a fist angrily against the fence.

The metal rattles in protest, and Taehyung's eyes gleam with hauty triumph. Chin and tail held high, he spins around and begins to prance away.

In his grandeur, Taehyung had failed to notice the second man, who waits at the opposite side of the alley. By the time he notices, it is already too late.

The leash loops around his neck and tightens before he can even get away. Taehyung, the little silver cat who is no match for the man at the other end of the wretched device, tugs and spits in protest and the catcher sighs with relief.

"Caught you at last."
