Taehyung slammed his fist into the steering wheel. "Fuck!" He couldn't stand himself. He was better off dead, he thought.

Stepping out of his car, he planted a harsh kick to his tire which immediately sent a shaking bolt up his spine. He regretted that. Turning around and huffing, he walked into the alleyway behind McDonald's downtown.

"You're late," what sounded like Wooshik said. "I knew you would be, though. You always have. That's one of the things I love about you," he giggled.

Taehyung scoffed. "Where's my brother?"

"Is that all you came here for? What about me, Tae Bear?"

"Don't call me that."

"Fine, fine, Taehyungie." Wooshik finally stepped into the light. His skin glistened under the moon and his eyes flashed an ungodly red. "He's back home waiting for me. I wish it were you, though."

Taehyung shivered.

"I heard from a little birdy that you got yourself a boyfriend." Wooshik's voice suddenly went dark. "Is that true?"

"Jungkook? Fuck no. He was... He was just a toy. He meant nothing to me." Taehyung gave himself a mental punch in the face. He was literally the dirtiest scum on the face of the planet. Not even Wooshik was worse than him.

"Oh... Jungkook's his name? Well, I'll make sure he stays far away from you, TaeTae."

"No, no, don't do that. I- It's fine. Look, Wooshik, what are you doing? Why are you out here? What- What have you done?"

"Oh, Taehyung... I haven't done anything wrong. I'm merely sustaining myself. If I don't eat, I'll die, Taehyung. You know that, right?" He inched closer. Wooshik brought a hand up to Taehyung's face, resting his palm on the younger's cheek. "Right?"

Taehyung tried to move back. The situation was too familiar. "R-Right." He tried to take Wooshik's hand off his face, he tried to move further back, but he ended up just trapping himself on the wall.

"I know, TaeTae. Only I could ever understand you, huh? You're not dating anyone right now, right? You're not dating Jimin, right?"

"Of course not! He's just my friend."

"Good." Wooshik leaned in and pressed his lips to Taehyung's ever so gently. The younger man struggled underneath Wooshik's grasp, trying to push him off but failing. "What? You don't like my kisses? You shouldn't be so ungrateful, Tae Bear."

"What are you?"

"Well, I'm certainly not a cannibal. God, you taste good. I wonder what you'd taste like in bed...?"

Taehyung shuddered.

Wooshik hummed, brushing away his thoughts. "We should meet again soon."

"You didn't answer my question-"

"Shh, time. You need time. Wait a bit, okay? You'll find out in due time."

Taehyung's face suddenly twisted into absolute disgust. This monster who ate human flesh and blood just kissed his lips. Taehyung gulped, trying to push away his thoughts and focus on the creep in front of him.

"You wanted to see your brother, right? I lied earlier!" He laughed. "Isn't that funny? He's not really at home. He's here with me. Seokjin, come out!"

A beautiful man— pale— stepped out from behind a dumpster. Taehyung stopped breathing.

"Jin...?" He asked shakily. It couldn't really be him, could it? He was so pale. His eyes flashed red under the moonlight, too. He looked stunning.

"Taehyung..."

Taehyung suddenly found the courage to push Wooshik off of him and he bolted to Jin's side. He hesitantly brought his hands up to Seokjin's arms, feeling them just to see if the man in front of him was really there— if it wasn't all just a dream.

Tears flooded down Taehyung's face as he stared at his brother. "I thought you were dead."

"Me too," Jin chuckled, pulling Taehyung closer and tucking his head into his shoulder. "But you did leave me to die."

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, I thought you were dead. I didn't think anyone could survive something like that. You- You were so mangled."

"That's what you saw, Tae. You were scared... Honestly, I would've ran, too. I'm glad I can see you."

"But... How- How are you here? How are you... Shit, Hyung, it's been so long. It's been so long," his voice cracked. "I fucked everything up, Hyung."

"I hate to break apart this lovely family reunion, but... Seokjin, it's time for us to go, isn't it?" Wooshik spoke sweetly.

Jin shivered, pushing Taehyung off of him and taking a step back. "Please... Just let me stay with Taehyung for now. Please don't make me go back."

Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows. What was going on?
