Masquerade [M.YG + BTS]

°¤3¤°

          Yoongi quietly got out of bed once he found his papa fast asleep. He's thankful for Junmyeon being a deep sleeper, whereas Sehun wakes up with the littlest of noises. Only now he was in no condition to get up either way.

He grabbed his belongings and threw on his cloak, the dagger in his satchel laying heavily burdened by his side. He made sure to cover his blue hair because it stood out in the moonlight, and a villager may recognize him.

Before stepping out, he turned back and glanced at the sleeping figures. "I love you guys."

And without further, he leaves in the midst of the night.

Outside the cottage awaits his horse, Holly. He walks up to her and combs his fingers through her mane as she leans into the touch with acceptance. "Good girl," he praises, and then off he goes riding the horse with a lantern held in front of him.

After traveling for what feels like half an hour, he comes to a halt just a bit outside of the woods. In front of him is the huge palace that is all lit up with beautiful illuminating lights and fancy carriages pulling up in front of the grand stairs.

Now that he thinks about it, he is totally unprepared for this. How was he going to steal some things let alone enter without getting caught?

While everyone wore fancy attires or dresses, Yoongi had on a shredded shirt with muddy pants and shoes. His cloak had collected dirt and dust from wherever he traveled.

That's when he hears voices from not too far away. He guides Holly back to hide behind the giant trees and into the darkness while throwing a blanket over the lantern to block out any visible light. Taking out a dagger, he slowly steps towards the source of noises. 

Upon spotting two light, Yoongi realizes that there's a man with a mask and his coachman outside of the carriage. It seems to have broken down.

"Look what you've done now, you no good old bones! Why hasn't father fired you yet!?"

"P-prince Aylard, please forgive me. I didn't think this would happen." The coachman does a ninety-degree bow even for his brittle spine.

"Well, then you better carry me on your back! I'm not going to show up to the palace with a broken carriage or walk there!"

Hesitant, the old man drops to the floor on his knees, awaiting the prince to get on. Suddenly, he is kicked forward, resulting in him falling face first into the dirt.

"Buahaha! You idiot! Like I'd ever. Bend down so I can use you as a stepping chair for my horse." Prince Aylard scoffs and crosses his arms. "Even a mule is more useful."

Watching with resentment, Yoongi decided that this spoiled prince doesn't deserve anything good. Instead of sneaking towards them, he straight up stomps over until he appears in front of them.

"Ew, who is this lowly peasant?"

"I'd be choosing my words wisely if I were you."

"Silence! I am a prince and you must obey me!"

Snickering, Yoongi holds out his dagger and slides the flat side against an index finger, observing the sharp object glistening under the moonlight.

"Don't you think this would look beautiful if this was stabbed into you?" Honestly, he hated sounding so twisted, because that only showed how truly dark his soul was. He'd only act like this if he saw an act of injustice or something horrible.

After all, he's learned since an adolescent on how to defend himself and turn off his humanity. Almost like an assassin. And up till now, the only thing keeping him together was Sehun and his papa when they had brought him in.
