"Tae, just close your eyes and concentrate hard. Create a good enough image of a real chess and then slowly open your palm. Come on. I believe in you," Yoongi hyung tried to convince. Although we were not from the same mother and are supposed to be rivals, he never failed to keep me safe and feel loved. I adored him and Jackson hyung.

"I tried hyung, it's not working. At all,"  I murmured feeling defeated. I have been trying to create a holographic but real chess that even a nine year old kid can create but failing miserably for the last three hours. But hyung kept on encouraging and to be honest that was keeping me going.

"A few more times? For me?" Yoongi Hyung insisted.

"Hyung, don't you think that maybe I just don't have powers?"
"And all the spades do" my mind continued.

"I believe you have powers. I have never seen a Spade without powers. Maybe you have powers we all don't? Maybe you are special?" He patted my shoulder with his long ass fingers while looking up at me. Yoongi Hyung was older than me but shorter. I made fun of his height always and ran into fits of laughter when after long tries he felt upset. He was hard to annoy. Truly. However, shockingly, despite his small body, he has long fingers and feet. Like damn long. I won't be shocked if he had the longest feet in the whole clan.

"Okay. We will practice this more tomorrow. Rest for now," hyung said after seeing there is no way I was believing whatever he was saying. I nodded and gave him a small smile to at the least reassure him I was okay. Then looked at my feet.

"You realise I can read minds? I can see you are feeling low. But remember, I love you, kiddo" Yoongi hyung patted my head. I looked up in shock. Those are some words Yoongi hyung says once in blue moon. But he did remind me that he loves me and is there for me once in a while so they were not new to me.

"I love you too, hyung. Good day!" I smiled brighter. I walked outside his office. In the corridor I smelt a human. And it wasn't a slave. I looked around the corridor and was delighted to find the minister of humans, Jung Hoseok walking confidently towards me. Or more specifically, Yoongi hyung's office, while typing something on his phone.

He didn't notice me so I decided to prank him. Immediately, I hid behind the pillars of the palace corridor. As soon as Hobi hyung was about to pass the corridor I spoke in a voice a few octaves deeper than my already deep voice, "How long do you think you can hide your relationship with the future Naira?"

Hobi hyung stilled in his movement. Utter shock was present in his eyes with a rising fear as he looked up from his phone.
"Who is there?" He spoke to nothingness. When he received no response from me, "What nonsense are you talking about? What relationship? He is nothing but a future Naira to me!"  He spoke with as much bravery as he could manage.

"Ouch! Yoongi Hyung will be hurt knowing that you consider him nothing but a future Naira, hyung" I said stifling a laughter as I came out from behind the pillar.

"Oh my Lord! You scared me shitless tae!" Hoseok hyung was one of the only humans who was allowed to call me that. Others were not even call me by name, leave alone a nickname. But hyung too could only call me that in private. Not in front of the rest. Especially in front of my parents. They would call him rude and go as far as punish him. So when Yoongi hyung started dating him secretly and introduced him to me, I started calling him hyung and forced him to call him Tae.

Surprisingly he called me "Tae" faster and more easily than he shifted from calling Yoongi hyung, 'sir' when he was Yoongi Hyung's assigned slave. All the royal Spade had a assigned slave the were given at the age of twelve and the slaves were supposed to help them and please them with all kinds of favours. Luckily for Hobi hyung, Yoongi hyung was assigned to him. The man who looks rude on the exterior but is a softie on the inside.
