The light flickers one, two, three times.
The vampire stands underneath the streetlight, watching it all. to any passing pedestrian he might have looked insane and well, maybe he was a little bit. here he was, waiting for a post light to decide on his future. he hasn't killed in decades, surviving on blood bags and animal blood instead. jaesung has always praised himself for his control, but now the smell has become too tempting, the burning in his throat too painful. all he wants is one sip of his own personal drug. but does he really want to risk it all for one taste? does he really want to put his control on the line like this?
He knows he shouldn't. he knows it's not worth it. it's why he's been strolling around the streets of inner seoul for hours, carefully selecting his prey but bailing out last minute. jae wishes that was enough to finally make up his mind and leave, realize that this kind of life just wasn't for him. but then there is always the next stranger, provoking him and luring him further out of the city.
And then jaesung finally loses it. the man looks just like how he remembers him to look like, with bright blue eyes and a full, thick beard, only the smell is different. this one is still human. this one still has a beating heart. jeasung doesn't hesitate, doesn't even bother to hide his intentions as he chases the man down the street. he's found the perfect target and he won't let him slip out his hands now.
