•Going Beyond•

Blood spattered like a broken pipe. It spilled across the industrial grey walls and crawled out from under the small gap of the iron doors. Blood curdling scream peaked in the room before going completely silent. Another life ended.

"Must we do this today?", Leon clicked his tongue and glared at the muscular tattooed man. Captain Jeon was spotting....well...nothing except a pair of leather jeans. The little boy was beyond disgusted not only by the bodies of cows around him, which were slaughtered by Jungkook before sending them to the butcher and kitchen, but also the wandering eyes of many women. Worst of all, Jungkook would occasionally winked at them and got them all giggling and wetting their panties.

"Your mother specifically requested for some kitchen activities for you while her and your dad attend some business. I'll have you know that this is boring for me too. I would rather be in the dungeon than here on butchering duty", Jungkook kicked a decapitated cow head to the side to walk towards a nervous bull. "Sorry big boy, winter is around the corner. Gotta store up some supplies", the man whispered before humanely slaughtered the bull. Leon picked up his legs which were dangling off a high table to avoid dipping in the pool of blood.

"Why can't we go anyway?", the boy hugged his knees and asked. Jungkook side eyed the boy and raised his brows, "are you seriously asking that? They're probably nailing her tongue by now. You really think they gonna let you witness that". In Leon's defense, he's not a stranger to how things work around here. The rules are simple and if anyone dares to threaten the precious human population especially that of a large empire like Venera, they're bound to face the consequences of Park Jimin. "And you're any better? Bringing a little boy to a slaughter site", Leon threw a small rock at Jungkook but he caught it effortlessly and flicked it back, hitting Leon's knee.

"Would you rather be here or my personal sex chamber-"

"Jeon Jungkook!", an agitated voice scolded from beside, nearly made the captain slip and fall on blood. The man's sly eyes widened in doe like a deer caught in headlights as Venus strode towards them in high heels and blooded white shirt which obviously wasn't from the cows as they were dried and even her neck was painted with it. She looked like she just came back from the dungeon. She took a quick look around and back at Jungkook who's suddenly self-conscious of his nakedness. The Venus in front of him was far from the one he met years ago when Jimin first brought her in. That skinny timid girl who clung onto Jimin is now taller, even reaching above his shoulders, had toned muscles, sharp gaze and put on some healthy weights. Even her steps were firm and strong, carrying an empire on her shoulders. No wonder the fearsome captain backed off a foot.

"I have absolutely no time for explanation OR lectures but I need to speak to you, Captain", Venus demanded as she lifted Leon off the table and sat him far away from the fresh kills. She seemed quite agitated and anxious so Jungkook didn't waste a beat and put on a shirt before following her out the iron doors. The little boy tried to follow his mother but to both the males surprises, Venus sharply turned around with a stern gaze that kept her son in the room. This must be urgent.

After Venus led him into her car, she plunged into her seat with a deep yet shaky breath that even made the captain nervous for what news she could bring. There was a moment of silence before she spoke in deadpan whispers, "the newest update on human population stated that there's only 6 million of humans left...". Jungkook's heart dropped at the news. A year ago it was 56 million which was growing fruitfully but now 50 million of humans were dead. Hopefully dead than turning into one of those creatures.

Venus kept her voice low as if she's trying to suppress her breaking tone, "50 million were attacked brutally. Some were eaten clean, some were torn apart, some suffered even worse consequences", Jungkook was confused. What could be worse than being torn apart? Just then, Venus pulled out a USB and inserted it into the car's radio. The screen changed from a music player to a CCTV footage.
