Darkside

Ruffling your hair, the wind blew fiercely through the cold night sky, a reminder that you shouldn't be here. You shivered, hugging your arms to your chest and walking on faster, trying to reach your destination as soon as you could.

Your heels clicked on the cold pavement, disrupting the silence of the night. During the day, the place would have been scary enough with no one walking by, but during the night, it was far worse. Not only were there no people, but the shadows cast by the streetlamps seemed to move, making your fear increase.

It was too silent for anything good to be happening here. It wasn't a natural silence; it was artificial. There were practically no sounds apart from the wind howling, and the silence rung in your ears louder than ever.

There wasn't a place you hated more, but even though you hated this place, you had to come, because there was simply no other solution.

Your best friend, Jungkook, had officially been pronounced missing for one month now, counting today. The police had been trying their hardest to find him, sticking up posters with rewards, asking around the place, but it was useless, just as you had predicted long ago.

Mainly because you knew exactly where Jungkook was. Here. And you had come to find him, and save him from the fate he had set for himself. 

Because all the times you had warned him before fell on deaf ears, all the times you had begged and pleaded for him not to do this, with tears flowing down your cheeks, he had merely waved you off, telling you everything would be fine.

But was it fine now?

The police couldn't do anything. Heck, they hadn't even started getting clues as to where Jungkook was right now. Plus, they had more to do than look for a missing teen, who they barely cared about.

Jungkook's parents weren't much better. They were convinced that Jungkook had just left for a short adventure, and would be back to them in no time. You didn't understand how his parents could be just so careless when you cared all too much.

But you knew it wasn't Jungkook you should be worrying about as you heard the sound of another pair of footsteps join you from behind.
