Taehyung shivers, chilled to the bone even though the sun still shines overhead. Sunset isn’t for a few hours, but the sun’s rays do little to warm Taehyung’s soul.
It’s been this way for several years, Taehyung steadily losing internal warmth as his soul remains untethered. He left after several years of no longer feeling at home with his own kind, and has wandered in search of a new home.
He’s made a few stops along the way, but they were temporary, often never meant to hold a green spirit like him.
Now, he trudges down the slope, eyes cast on the ground to push himself forward step by step. It’s hard, especially with the chill that wraps around him, tangling with the exhaustion that’s grown the longer he goes untethered.
Taehyung gasps with the next step, an intense warmth rushing over him. He looks up, blinking back the tears that come to his eyes as the warmth surges through him, chasing out the iciness that made its home in his bones. The sun no longer feels like a mockery as it dances across his face, and Taehyung lets out a long sigh.
A tall hedge comes into view when he drops his gaze from the sky, but his feet keep him rooted in place as the warmth continues to ripple through him. It brings a renewed wave of exhaustion, the hedge now looking like a nice place to rest for a little while.
