Taehyung stares at the T.V in horror, the carnage displayed on the shaky video sends multiple shivers down his spine. The beast stares directly into the camera, the soulless black eyes still memorise Taehyung, even through the pixelated screen. The beast tears open a skull, like opening a pistachio. Eating away at the flesh, like how a lion rips into a zebra. This is the third attack in the past three months, and it's the first time, the beast has ever been caught on camera. Police don't know what to do, how are they supposed to capture such a powerful animal? Does it even understand Korean? The media has named the beast, 'the death crawler,' because of it's amazing ability to climb any surface. Which only makes everyone living in Seoul, even more terrified.
Hoseok, who is sitting next to Taehyung, softly grabs the boy's hand, caressing it with his thumb, "it's so horrible," Taehyung whispers, his eyes glued to the T.V screen. More blood sprays over the dark alley streets, as yet another person dies. Hoseok flinches at the sight, turning his head away.
"Hey... Do you know where Jungkook is? You said he hasn't been here for a few days," Hoseok points out, trying to distract his distraught friend from the scene on T.V.
Taehyung shakes his head, sighing, "I've tried calling and texting but, he hasn't picked up. And that moron never tells me where he's going."

The beast beats against the cage, screaming loudly. He grabs onto the cage bars, only to have an electric shock, shoot up his body. The monster falls back, smacking his head against the small bed, in the room.
Chanwoo sighs, walking over to the cage, standing in front of Jungkook. "When are you going to stop throwing your temper tantrum?" He asks, shaking his head. "I told you, if you disobey me, I'd pull you apart limb by limb." Jungkook growls, his deep black eyes, boring into Chanwoo's blue ones. His sharp claws, scrape across the ground. Chanwoo scrunches up his nose, "change into a human, and speak to me," he orders. Jungkook snarls, snapping his teeth. "You're not some wild animal, I know you can understand me. Do as I say."
Jungkook gives the scientist a hard glare, before the black goo from his eyes, start rolling down his cheeks. Loud cracking noises, signify Jungkook's bones reshaping themselves, to be more human-like. "See isn't that much better?"Chanwoo asks, watching Jungkook sit, hunched over in his spot, now in human form.
"I'm sick of being tied to a leash, I'm sick of only hunting when you say I can. I'm a beast, not a circus trick, and you're only a human. I could break your back like a fucking twig," Jungkook snaps.
Chanwoo chuckles, shaking his head, "I created you, you cannot live without your creator," he flimsily tries to point out.
Jungkook laughs drily, tipping his head back, "children grow up just fine without their parents all the time, and they are young and helpless. I am strong, I could rule the world, you're just too scared to let me go, because I'll over take you."
"You're smart, Jungkook. When you go on these killing sprees, you start to become dumb, just like Project One. Do not fail me. I'm giving you one, final chance. Do not disappoint me, or I will personally tear you to pieces."

Jungkook angrily sighs, jamming his key into his door, barging his way into the dorm room. "Oh, hey Jungkook!" Taehyung greets the younger. Jungkook looks up, seeing Taehyung and his group of friends, all sitting in their living room. The beast was secretly hoping that the dorm would be empty, so he could try and get all his anger out. So it's to his dismay, when there's about six other people, who will be stopping that.
"Hey," Jungkook greets coldly, not trying to get into any conversation, or try to have Taehyung make him join his little group.
Taehyung smiles sweetly, making Jungkook's heart melt, ever so slightly. "Do you want to join us? We're playing truth or dare," Taehyung offers.
The monster shakes his head, "nah, I'm just gonna chill for a bit," he declines. Taehyung's facial expressions sadden, but he still quickly nods, turning back to his friends.
Jungkook walks to the kitchen to grab a snack, while listening in on his roommate and his friends' game. "So Taehyung," Hoseok starts, smirking, "truth or dare?" He asks, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Dare," Taehyung challenges, also smirking.
Hoseok's smile only grows wider, "okay, I dare you to sit in nothing but your underwear, for the rest of this game."
"Done," Taehyung accepts, already shedding his shirt. Jungkook sighs, shaking his head.
While Taehyung finishes getting rid of all his clothes, except his underwear, the group strikes up a conversation. "Did you guys see the beast being caught on camera?" Seokjin asks, looking around the group.
Everyone nods, "it's so scary, I hope those kids are okay. They must be traumatised," Namjoon points out, solemnly shaking his head. Jimin nods in agreement.
"I bet I could take the beast on," Yoongi smirks, earning a hard slap from Seokjin.
"You're not fucking 'taking on' that beast! It's nicknamed death crawler for god sakes, you can't take that shit on," Seokjin angrily points out. Earning an apathetic eye roll from Yoongi.
"Look, most of the times the beast kills people, they're unarmed and usually unsuspecting. If you were ready, you could totally take on the beast. Easy," Yoongi confidently says, puffing his chest out.
A now almost naked Taehyung sighs, "Yoongi, you can't take on the beast. Moving on, Jimin truth or dare?" Before Jimin can even open his mouth, a loud pounding at the door, makes everyone in the apartment jolt. "Hoseok, can you get it? I'm kind of in my underwear," Taehyung asks, chuckling.
Hoseok nods, also laughing, getting up to answer the door. Standing in the hallway is a long haired girl, her face is obscured by the darkness surrounding her. "Is Tamara home?" She asks, her voice quiet. Jungkook's ears perk to the voice, leaving his post in the kitchen to greet the girl at the door.
"I'm sorry, who are you?" Hoseok asks, trying to make sense of the girl's facial features.
Jungkook comes up to step behind Hoseok, "Tamara's not home, this is the boy's dormitory," he snaps, boring his eyes into the girl's soul.
Without a word, the girl turns, walking down the eerily dark hallways. Hoseok shoots Jungkook a confused look, before softly shutting the door. "What did she want?" Taehyung asks, still only in his very tight pair of boxer-briefs. That most certainty catches the very hungry eye of Jungkook, which doesn't go unnoticed by everyone else in the group.
"She wanted to know if Tamara is home," Jungkook answered, shaking his head clear of all the thoughts of Taehyung, and his very tight boxer-briefs.
Taehyung raises an eyebrow, "does she know that this is the boys dormitory?" He asks.
Jungkook shrugs, "how am I supposed to know that?"
