Kim Taehyung was bouncing on the balls of his feet and humming happily to himself as he walked down the road between apartment buildings and random shops. He could smell the smell of kimchi-chigeh wafting from one of the restaraunts nearby and it was making drool creep out the edge of his mouth in thirsty longing.

His stomach growled.

Then something else growled, and Taehyung stopped in his tracks.

"What the--?"

There was a purple hound with a single yellow eye staring up at him, and rows upon rows of disgustingly jagged teeth. Green slime oozed from it's mouth.

"GHA!"

The dog-monster pawed at the sidewalk, leaving thick lines carved out of the cement.

"Well that's just rude," Taehyung answered flatly.

He looked to his left. His right.

By some miracle of the celestial powers that be, in a city stacked sky-high with people on every corner... there were no eyes watching.

Convenient. I'll take it.

The dog made a break right for where Taehyung stood.

With a gleam in his eye and a flicker of danger in his smile, the blonde boy shifted his feet into a strong, defensive stance and began to shout, "MOON... PRISM..."

But before he could make it through his Moon Power-intro and the perfectly coordinated stances, the dog leapt... lunged... and the heel of a white sneaker landed with heavy roundhouse-kick power right onto that creepy yellow eye.

The dog whined and leapt backwards, away from the assault.

"What the--?"

An amused voice sassed, "Maybe you should save the chanting for cheer camp, kid."

Before Taehyung there now stood a young brunet boy in a green cowl neck sweatshirt and orange shorts. His hair was pushed back beneath a striped black headband, and he had his fists raised like he was ready for a casual brawl with this dark energy dog from the Negaforce.

Taehyung's mouth dropped open.

"A-aren't you... scared of... you know, the one eyed monster dog over there?"

Tae gave a sneaky point of his finger shielded behind his opposite hand in the direction of the angry beast.

The young man in green flashed a happy grin. "I love a challenge."

Tae continued to gape, as the athletic stranger ran forward, leapt through the air, and his strong body twisted three times with inhuman force to land a triple twist kick—right in the mutant dog's wide, yellow eye for a second time.

It was the stuff of legends, Tae though. Legends and animes.

This time, upon impact, the dog didn't whimper away scared.

Instead, it's whole body shattered into a million shards like a giant form made of glass.

Taehyung gaped at the man in the green cowl neck sweatshirt, who was now breathing heavily and laughing to himself like some kind of madman.

"Who... who the heck are you?" Taehyung's whole body was slumped forward, his mouth dropping open in shock like an accordion that had lost it's springiness.

The young man flipped his chin up in casual flair. "The name's Jung Hoseok. And don't worry. I eat monsters like this one for dinner all the time. But maybe you should just forget this ever happened."

Hoseok walked forward, ruffled Taeyung's blonde hair into an unkempt mess, and laughed again.

Tae was both awed and annoyed.

"Well, kid. I gotta run. I'll see yah around."

Then Jung Hoseok started jogging casually down the street like nothing strange had happened in the least.

Taehyung shouted after him, "I'M NOT A KID." Then he mumbled under his breath, his foot scuffing the pavement, "And I coulda taken him if you weren't so pushy."

Tae's mouth became a thin frown.

"Show off."

Ok, this is the last of my sick day updating for now.
I need to sleep.

BUT THIS IS JUST SO MUCH FUN.
