Taehyung leaned against the fragile door of the house that threatened to collapse if he laid his back on it. Like a feather touching the ground, he leaned on it dragging his feet towards his chest so that the rain would not wet his bare feet.

Despite his effort to keep himself dry and warm, the rain invaded the place he sat at with the help of the wind. Taehyung looked at the sky that was black like an endless tunnel to hell and smiled. The freezing coldness of mother nature engulfed him as he closed his eyes and buried his head in between his hands that hugged his legs. For once in his life, he was glad to be mother nature's cursed child.

He was happy. And it was gone

 "Yi Seon-jun is safe now. He must be sleeping, in the comfort of his own home. " Taehyung thought as a smile found its way towards his lips. He lifted his head and smiled at the icy cold rain that sprinkled onto his face. He closed his eyes to breathe in the smell of rain. It was sharp, refreshing, and earthy with a little bit of mud mixed to it. A stagnating smell as if it was coming from something that had been rotting for ages. 

MUD! 

That sent a shiver down his spine.

MUD!

How?

Taehyung felt conscious all of a sudden. With terror sledding,  the tranquility of his mind right through he sniffed the air to get a clear scent of him. GIM. 

Is he back?

This quick? 

Taehyung walked out of the hut and towards the fence to get a clear smell of it. 

To see if he was right. Because mistakes can happen and he was not new to making them. 

The midnight rain seeped into his dark black locks and dripped onto his pale face. Taehyung was tired after all the fighting he did. And he was hungry with no food nearby. People in the village already suspected him despite the fact that he had lived there for more than twenty years. Just three years less than Yi Seon-jun. 

Yi Seon-jun was going away. Away from him to sungkyunkwan .

"He would have a happy life there. It is the place where he belonged. A place where his equals were."  

His heart was bruised as the cupid's arrow had impaled it. It had punctured into his heart leaving him with an everlasting pain. A pang of pain that he could not help but live with. No other option as he could not put Yi Seon-jun's life in harm's way. 

He deserved a life. He deserved to enjoy his youth. To go sungkyunkwan and finish his education. Meet other noble youths that are of his age and learn to become an excellent scholars like his late father. 

His late father was said to be one of the closest with the King, who was on his deathbed at the moment. The rumors which Taehyung believed to be exaggerations, though he had immense respect for Yi Seon-jun's family, said that Yi Seon-jun's father died while trying to save the king's life. 

Though it sounded quite peculiar for a man who was an expecting father act with such commitment Taehyung never questioned anybody by presenting his notions about the matter. He had neither witness nor had he confronted someone that knew what happened. 

Though he always empathized Yi Seon-jun for his loss , he was guilty for thanking his fate that crossed his paths with Yi Seon-jun , which would not have taken place if his father was alive. If his father was alive then he would have lived in the capital near the imperial palace and not in a seaside village filled with peasants. 

Taehyung ran his hand through his messy long locks and tried to wring out as much water as he possibly could as he walked back towards the hut.

"It must have been a mistake. It must have been a mistake ." 

He repeated in his head as he tried to convince his own self that was unprepared for another fight. 

"Gim is gone." 

Taehyung muttered to assure himself that everything was alright.

And as he laid his back against the wall of the hut that had water dripping down from the thatched roof his vampire ears could hear a moan from a distance.

Though it was a moan muffled by the midnight rain Taehyung knew who that was. He knew to whom that voice belonged. 

Yi Seon-jun!!!!!!!!
