THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS:
GREED- an insatiable longing for uneeded excess.
'He found himself desiring more and more. And like a lamb to the slaughter he let it get the better of him.'Namjoon had desired things he could simply not have, which was ultimately his downfall.
—
GLUTTONY- the over-indulgence of something.
'His tongue brushed against his bottom lip as he gave himself in to the temptation. He wanted more. More.'Seokjin couldn't help himself. He wanted it all. So he gave himself into the bait. Like a fool.
—
SLOTH- a reluctance to partake in labour or make an effort.
'The male opened his dark eyes slowly, taking in his surroundings. He did so lazily before he closed his eyes again, letting the world pass him by.'Yoongi never went for what he wanted in life and when the time came that he finally wanted to, it was too late. The opportunities had already slipped through his fingers.
—
WRATH- the uncontrolled feelings of anger, rage or hatred.
'His fists clenched by his sides, his jaw taut with anger. His veins felt like they were on fire and his whole body was consumed with the feeling. The flames consumed him whole and he let them.'Hoseok let the flames of his anger consume him whole. He gladly threw himself into the fire and let the flames take over his entire being.
—
LUST- the intense longing or desire for something.
'He parted his lips, a breathy moan leaving them as he let desire fuel his actions. His eyes became hazy with lust and he threw his head back in pleasure. He saw himself nearing that state of utter bliss, euphoria.'Jimin craved more of that feeling. It slowly became a kind of illness. His body would convulse with even the slightest of touches. He felt himself craving that euphoric bliss to take him, drown him, ruin him.
—
ENVY- a resentful covetousness towards the traits or possessions of another.
'His lips curled into a sneer. It wasn't fair. He wanted what wasn't his, even if he didn't need it. It wasn't fair that everyone seemed to have everything they ever wanted handed to them on a golden platter.'Taehyung hated how everyone seemed to get everything they had ever dreamed of. What about him? Couldn't he have gotten such treatment? No. No matter what he did the outcome was always the same.
—
PRIDE- corrupt selfishness, the putting of one's own wants, needs, desires, urges and whims before others welfare.
'A cocky smirk graced his lips. The world was his oyster, his to do whatever he wanted. He walked with a purpose. He felt as if he could do whatever he pleased, whenever he pleased.'
Jeongguk allowed his confidence to morph into something more. Something much more...dangerous. He now saw the world in a different light. He saw himself as a gem amongst coal, a ruler amongst mere peasants.
