"Useless.."

His pale hands trembled with excitement, immeasurable adrenaline and utmost pleasure rushing through his veins, filling each fiber of his body with something unbelievably powerful and intoxicating. The feeling was anything but foreign, darkening eyes set intently on the tremendous amount of pain crossing the man's face as the sharp blade travelled across his feverish skin. He looked as if he were on the edge, eyes brimming with hot tears the more he glanced up at his king.

Hoping. He was hoping for a miracle. Wanted it all to end, go back to normal, but somehow, he knew it was anything but possible when the king's sickeningly dark smirk resurfaced. Shattered everything within a few seconds and destroyed him further. Pinned him down even more. It had gotten difficult to breathe, his lungs contracting and begging for relief as the blade returned to his frail neck and traced patterns across his skin.

"Absolutely useless.."

That voice was bound to hunt him everywhere, remind him just how useless he was and destroy him beyond limit. That mischievous pair of eyes remained fixed on his own, burning holes into his trembling self.

"I- I'm sorry, my king. Please. Spare me." He begged, shaky voice matching  his desperate expression.

A last attempt to escape alive. He'd kiss his feet, would beg until the next day just to escape the deadly grasp that coiled around him and wouldn't let him breathe. He looked up, meeting that utmost mockery, that amused expression and curl of lips which made him freeze on the spot.

"Useless until the end, dear servant.."

The blade had been pressed harder against his skin, slicing through with ease. A last choked up cry had managed to reach the king's ears as the man's head hit the marble floor with a loud thud. One that he loved too much. One that sparked power inside him. Sick pleasure coursed through his veins and his trembling hands had finally dropped the sword, chuckling under his breath as he stepped away from the lifeless body.

Everyone was useless. Useless. No one was able to do a damn thing, always messing everything up and angering him beyond control and comprehension. He had lost count of how many people managed to piss him off. He didn't care about trying to fix their mistakes or trying to keep them on the right track. Too much of a hassle to deal with. So he resorted to beheading each fool, watching with unbelievable interest as their void heads hit the ground all at once, painting his sanctuary with their crimson essence.

Resting his chin on top of his blood-stained hand, Yoongi scoffed at the amount of blood dripping from the lifeless body. Cleaning everything up was bound to be a hassle. He should have taken care of things outside, not in the palace, but his impatience had kicked in at that moment.

"Take him away and clean up this mess." He stood up and uttered his command, void eyes settling on the young servant who had been watching the entire scene, trembling in the corner.

"Y- Yes, my king!"

Cold air had hit his face as he stepped outside, lips curling upwards into a faint grin at the sight of a familiar figure that rushed from one place to another, soft hair bouncing up and down with each excited step. Taehyung. Lovely Taehyung. Looking as bright as ever, exceeding everyone else around with ease and as much as Yoongi wished to look away, he couldn't. The smiling boy was just so mesmerizing and so worth examining that it made his heart swell and beat faster than before.

Thump.

Taehyung's smile had grown wider, an array of teeth put on display, forming the most adorable sight he had ever laid eyes upon.

Thump. Thump.

By the time he had stopped ogling the boy, everyone else was gone, leaving only him and Taehyung in the massive court. He sighed and turned around to leave as well but that sweet, dazzling smile which had been sent his way once their eyes met, caused him to freeze on the spot.
