Investigation

The sound of aluminum clattering in a parking lot blended in with noise of the city as a blonde man kicked the offending litter. Wooyoung was not having a good day. First, there had been a pop quiz in history that he had definitely not prepared for and then his witch of a chemistry professor had kicked him out of class (again) for laughing. It wasn't his fault the guy next to him decided to crack a hilarious joke about how the professor should really lay off the hair spray if she was going to be around Bunsen burners.

So here he was, kicking a can and pouting in an abandoned parking lot instead of learning about chemical reactions. Not that he really cared, it was only a general education course and had nothing to do with his major but missing so much class was for sure going to impact his grades. He had come back upon the victim of his anger when a smell in the air caught his attention. He paused in his actions and lifted his head to try and get a better whiff. He breathed inward heavily and sniffed. If anyone had been walking by it would have reminded them of a dog.

The smell was sweet, like honey, but had a certain taint to it. Like a sweet fruit that was almost too ripe and on the edge of rotting. Intrigued, Wooyoung decided to find the source of the scent. It was like something he had never smelled before. He found himself walking through a few alleyways until he found himself on a main strip of road. There were a lot more scents out here and he had to really concentrate to find the particular smell he was looking for.

The sound of shouts caught the blonde's attention and he turned his head to the left. Just a few meters down was the source of the commotion. A short man in a hospital gown was running and trying to avoid colliding with the pedestrians. Behind him were three rather large men that seemed to be in hot pursuit that were shoving people aside. As the red-head came closer, the interesting smell he had been chasing became stronger.

Spotting the man about to pass him, Wooyoung made a split decision to step in his path when he had his head turned. As expected, the other man collided harshly into his chest but it didn't phase the blonde. With the source of the scent so close, Wooyoung inhaled deeply. He wasn't sure what to feel. On one hand, the scent was absolutely delicious and on the other, mildly nauseating. These thoughts, however, flew completely out of his mind as his eyes locked with the other man's and he inhaled sharply. One eye was a completely normal white and brown while the other was black with a red iris...Just like a Ghoul's.

The contact couldn't have lasted more than a few seconds before the spell was broken and the man was on the run again and darting down a dark alley. Wooyoung watched for a moment as the orderlies made to follow down the same path but at a more sedated pace. Glancing to his left, he spotted some small rocks on the edge of the sidewalk. Stooping down, he grabbed a few. Time for a little fun.

"Hey uglies!" He called out loudly. One turned at the sound of someone yelling from behind him before dropping heavily to the ground. At the sound of one of their companions falling, the other two turned to spy a young blond man tossing rocks into the air and catching them with a cocked hip and bright smile. They glanced down at their coworker who was now flat on his back with the whites of his eyes now showing. In the middle of his forehead sat a medium sized hole.

The two remaining orderlies looked back up at the smiling boy in fear as he just continued to toss and catch the two remaining rocks. His eyes almost seemed to sparkle in mirth at their fright. Not taking chances, the two scrambled to turn and escape further down the alleyway. Wooyoung snatched the rocks out of the air with a flourish of his hand before sighing heavily.

"Man, you're no fun." He mumbled with a pout before he took a rock and cocked his arm all the way back. Once the blonde decided they were at a decent enough distance, he launched his projectile. He watched in satisfaction as the small object landed square in the back of one of the escapee's heads and he collapsed just like his other companion.
