"Copied that, your highness", a buzzing snicker sounded in his earplugs, making him rolled his eyes. He could even hear faint chuckles from the nearby troops, knowing that they're all in the same channel and listening to Jungkook's never ending teasing. "Just get into it, dipshit". Jimin smiled a little and whispered again with one eye shut and another eye staring through the rear sight while resting a cheek on the rifle.

The regular hunts have became more relaxing and more of an outing instead as they've done it so many times and routines were stuck in their heads. They were pros at this and rarely slipped on their missions. Being out for so many times have made them immune to the rotting and disgusting appearance of the infected. Rather than panicking or screaming like last time, they would just put a bullet into their rotten brains and instantly kill them.

This current mission is no different as well, maybe a little for the young ruler, but all in all are the same; hunt and kill or search and save. As of right now, the team is aiming at a stumbling figure but soon noticed the group in front of it. "Everyone choose your favorite zombie and send it to hell, please", Jimin casually commanded into the wristband, making everyone huffed a breathy chuckle before following his orders. He himself didn't aim for a zombie, he scanned around the woods instead. "Fire", the ruler commanded and faint shooting went off like a sharp breeze as they silently killed a group of infected.

"Nice. Now let's head back", Jimin lowered his rifle and spoke in normal tone before coming out of his hiding spot. The team headed back to a herd of saddled horses at the back of some all bushes before mounting on and got ready for the departure. While Jimin was fixing Onix's saddle, the soft giggles sounded from the side made him turned around and found one of the soldiers flirting with the medic that was riding with him.

The ruler stood planted on his spot as he stared at the flirting duo while his eyes slowly softened and gulped before sighing. He mounted onto his tall horse with an empty seat behind him that had always been occupied by someone. A particular someone. He glanced back at the empty seat before nudging Onix to move. His heart grew heavier with gaze casted down on his hands gripping on the reins and eyes glued to the shinny ring on his ring finger. This feeling of longing and dreading was tugging on his heart, making him hunched.

Before the idea of having a personal medic on a hunt and have them share rides with the soldiers, Jimin always rode alone just like any other soldiers but after being accompanied by his very own medic, it only made him craved for more. Which was why the empty seat behind him was creating a void in his heart. Though his medic wasn't as experienced as the others, the medic was still willing to learn and was able to quickly catch up. Nothing less from the intelligence the medic held. But the medic's company alone was able to heal whatever injuries he had and now that he's alone, he could feel imaginary pain and injuries and they hurt more than the physical ones.

"You alright there, hyung?", the sound of Jungkook's concerned voice snapped Jimin out of his short moment of grief. The older male glanced to side for a second before turning back front with a blank face. "Yeah I'm fine, Jeon", he answered as he kept his eyes up ahead by his grip on the reins were tightening and Jungkook noticed it before sighing. "Just a little longer, hyung. Remember to bring flowers when you visit her", the younger male spoke in a much softer tone this time, afraid to accidentally strike a sensitive spot in Jimin's vulnerable heart. Jimin hummed as he stared at the big walls of Venera which looked smaller from the mountain they were at.

A small sad smile tugged on the corners of his lips as he stared at the walls with a few tall skyscrapers peeking above the walls which stretched to far beyond the eyes. A thin layer of mist breezed by the guarded empire, making it looked like some sort of hidden mythical kingdom. He could see the land of green surrounding the city and few patches of blues scattered all over the empire. They looked really small from where he was but he knew his empire was nothing but vast and gigantic. Even with the continuous expansion, the empire still had untouched forests and lands. But what really caused the sad smile on his face was the name he gave it.
