Fallacia

''Yes, I knew about everything...'' Beomgyu's face fell even more, hearing it confirmed.

 ''I was a criminal about to be executed and Yeonjun gave me a deal, to save my life in exchange for helping him.''

''And so you came here to help him kill us all,'' Beomgyu sneered.

''You don't understand Gyu! Your father he- he was torturing our people! Killing them and exploiting them! He helped to destroy our kingdom all those years ago on a day you now celebrate!'' 

Beomgyu looked down, in shock. He knew nothing of what was happening within his own kingdom. ''I-listen, I didn't want it to end this way. I wanted to just do the job... get revenge,'' Taehyun sobbed. ''I didn't want to hurt you this way...''

''Why didn't you just kill me with everyone else...'' Beomgyu said, barely audible. ''Why aren't you killing me?!''

''I-I can't!''

Yeonjun was slowly moving closer, getting annoyed with the pair. ''He's right, Taehyun. You should have just killed him. I let you think you could save him, but what good would it be, he hates you now... not that you should care. You were playing him this whole time.''  Yeonjun smirked.

Beomgyu felt his heart squeeze. ''I should have known, how could I be so blind..''

''Beomgyu, he's lying, I wasn't playing you... I love you.'' Taehyun sobbed. Beomgyu was overwhelmed with emotions. Everything hurt, but especially his heart. It was broken the second his kingdom was. 

''Taehyun... my family is dead, my kingdom is dead, everything is gone... what good is your love?''

''I'm so blind Taehyun... the things my father did, I knew nothing about. All of those people he hurt, the people in the past....'' the guilt was now eating away at Beomgyu too. Why did everything have to go so wrong?

 It's true what they say, ignorance is bliss.

Beomgyu wished he could go back to a day ago, when he and Taehyun were in each other's arms, no knowledge of what was to come the next day. He wished he could just restart... escape.

''Beomgyu... I know you're upset... I'm so so sorry...'' Taehyun cried. Beomgyu's own tears fell to the floor. 

''I loved you Taehyun...'' Beomgyu said. He looked into Taehyun's big doe eyes, for the last time. He picked up the sword Taehyun dropped. 

He slowly held it in his hands, reminiscing the memories, training with Taehyun, falling in love blindly, his childhood, training with Jungkook and the other guys, his mother, Kai, his dreams...

He smiled sadly, before bringing the sword up to his neck. In one swift movement he slashed his neck and dropped to his knees.

He fell sideways, bleeding out, just like that he was... gone.

Taehyun felt the world stop. He was frozen, unable to move, unable to think. He fell to his knees as well, tears streaming down his face. It felt like everything was in slow motion.

''No nononono... Beomgyu...'' He crawled over to his body, cupping his cold cheeks. He was shaking, and blinded by his tears. ''No...'' he held Beomgyu in his arms for what felt like hours, unable to let go.

All of this was his fault. He would give anything to take it all back. To have Beomgyu back. But now he was dead, and it was all his fault. The one person he truly loved was dead, and that blood was on his hands. 

He caused this...Taehyun sat on the floor sobbing over the prince's body, a yellow marigold still embedded in his coat, now covered with blood. 

Taehyun felt someone's presence coming near him.

''Tsk, tsk. It's a shame Taehyun-ah.'' Yeonjun patted his shoulder. ''Well, nevertheless, our kingdom is saved thanks to us. The riches are waiting for you back home,'' He said before he sauntered off. 

Taehyun shook with anger. The numbness was setting in. He picked up the sword that lay at Beomgyu's feet. Almost like he was in a trance he stood up, and walked over to the king, who turned to look at him surprised. 

''Ready to go that fast? I thought you'd want a little more time to cry over your prince-'' Taehyun just stabbed him wordlessly, staring him right in the eye. He felt nothing. Yeonjun coughed up a mouthful of blood, before he fell to the floor, sword still embedded in his chest.

''You'll pay for this...'' He seethed. A few moments later he took his last breath.

Taehyun felt nothing. He killed his own king and yet he felt nothing. He didn't even care when soldiers stormed into the castle and found him there, his sword in the king's chest. He just stared blankly, and accepted his fate.

He was a dead man anyway.
