Bittersweet, my mistress
A Learning Day
Word count: 1845
Paring: vamp!Min Yoongi & mistress!Reader
Hello everyone! Welcome to the first part of the story! I hope it’s to everyone’s liking. It’s kinda like black butler (sorta) I got my inspiration from it. Anyway. Enjoy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s like it only happened days ago, the incident and her kidnapping, all to be ended by a demon of a sort. more specifically, a vampire. Y/N made a contract with a blood thirsty creature of the night, and she didn’t regret it at all. She was happy with her choice.
“My lady, it is time you awake.” You were sound asleep almost if it wasn’t for your butler Min Yoongi coming in and ruining it. “Mistress, please you must wake up.” You rolled over and faced your now open curtains. “Aish.. to bright..” You proceeded to hide your face under your fluffy pillow. “I didn’t agree to be woken up like that yoongi.” You mumbled. “Ah but madam, you have a very busy day,” your butler said walking over to you and removing your pillow from your face. “So you must get up and get dressed.” you sighed as you say up and looked at him. “You must be joking?” Yoongi looked at you confused.
“Whatever do you mean?” You scoffed. “I’m not letting a guy dress me.” Yoongi chuckled and picked you up from your spot on the bed, then place you on the floor. “Ah, you must not recognize I’m very skilled at this kind of thing,” Yoongi says as he pulls out a blindfold “And besides my lady, we have no women within our staff” he smiled as he walked over to your wardrobe and picked out a short light blue dress with white trimming about the short sleeves and bottom of the dress, with a black bow near the neck. “A very pretty gown indeed my lady. If I may ask, why was this in the back of your closet?” You looked away from it and shrugged. “I never thought you'd own a bright dress. Considering your wardrobe is all black, white or gray”
You looked out the window. “You try living in my shoes Yoongi.” you said softly. Said male walked over to you. “Well, let’s get proceed shall we?” You nodded as you turned to see him blindfolded. “I can’t believe I’m letting you do this.” you said embarrassed. “Oh come now, it’s not like I can see you” Yoongi finished dressing you by putting your knee high white socks on and black shoes on. “There we are, all dressed and ready” you yawned as you stood up and looked in the mirror everything about you was different.
Your eyes had dark circles under them, your neck had a small mark where Yoongi had bit you, claiming you his mistress. You sighed and turned away from your mirror and walked towards your now opened door. “Yoongi, I’m 16.. almost 17 I don’t need to be babied.” Yoongi smiled small like. “Yes, but I am your butler. And you are my meal. And as soon as this contract is broken I can stop babying you, but until then I will continue my duties as your butler” you looked at your handsomely dressed butler and smiled at him. “Indeed, you are my butler. Now, what’s for breakfast? I’m hungry.” you asked as Yoongi closed your bedroom door and both of you walking down the hall to the dining room.
“For breakfast, we have lightly toasted bread, with grape jelly, then eggs freshly laid from the hens. Then we have some green tea freshly brewed, leaving the main course to be cooked ham. Is there anything else I can do for you, my lady?” You shook you head no as Yoongi smiled at your form. “Then I’ll be off to tend to the gardens, lunch will be served around twelve pm, Namjoon will arrive to help you with your studies for school, after that you have a dance session with your two dance instructors. Jimin will be around 2 for ballet class, then at 4 Hoseok will come and go over your modern day dance. You know, hip hop and stylish moves. Then at 5, you have your singing instructor come, that will be Taehyung this time due to Jungkook falling ill. Followed by cooking lessons from Seokjin, and proceeding to 6:30, is dinner time for the two of us.” You nodded as you finished eating. “Great, sounds like a whole bunch of complete nonsense to me.” Yoongi chuckled deeply as he left. “I shall see you at twelve.”
“Namjoon. What is this word again? Japanese?” You asked your teacher as you handed him the big book. “Ah, it’s a simple term, in a formal way it means; Yoroshiku Onega Ishi masu it’s a formal way of saying nice to meet you. Typically said to your boss or someone in a higher position than you” he smiled at you and handed you book back to you. “Oh! Wow, it has a pretty sound to it.” You looked at the word. “Remember y/n practice those terms. I gave you flash cards for a reason.” He told you while he was packing up his bag. “I know, and I have I’ve been practicing somewhat on yoongi.” You stood up, you and Namjoon both walked to the door. “Of course you have. Now, I gotta get going. I’ll see you tomorrow.” he ruffled your hair a bit and left.
You sighed as you put your book up and looked at the wall clock. “Oh, I got finished early.. guess I can go see what everyone's up to..” You walked out of the room and walked down the stairwell. “Jackson, woozi?” You called out as you hopped off the last step. “Where's all the staff..? They are usually here making a mess for yoongi to clean up..” You walked around looking for the two boys. “Hello? Woozi, Jackson, come on. You two always talk to me when I'm finished with schooling.” You pouted.
“My lady? You called?” Woozi stepped before you. “Ah! Yes! Woozi, I’ve looking for You.” Woozi smiled at you. “How did your schooling go?” You looked around and shrugged. “It was short and informational. I guess.” Woozi giggled. “At least you learned something, correct my lady?” You nodded as you smiled. “Woozi, you're gonna get us in trouble-” Jackson came out from the laundry room looking for the other servant. “M-my lady, how do you do” you waved at him. “Sorry, we didn’t see you at the stairs, my lady. Yoongi kinda gave us a job. Laundry” you laughed. “Jackson you guys hate laundry though” he chuckled nervously. “Yeah, we do, but yoongi is kinda terrifying. So, Woozi come on!” And with that, the two servants left you to yourself. “Oh well... It’s lunch time any how..”
“Today for lunch we have your favorite. Ramen with an egg, With a side of Vietnamese pickled daikon radish and carrots along with a glass of your f/d, enjoy” you thanked him for the meal and started to eat slowly. “I suppose you were taught some things, my lady?” You nodded as you continued to eat your noodles. “That’s lovely. Remember, your dance instructors will be here in a few minutes So hurry up.” You nodded at Yoongi's instructions and finished your meal. “Very good. Now, I’ll be on my way.” You said as you got up from you seat pushing in your chair.
“Have fun, and be sure to behave yourself, my lady.” You nodded as you walked towards the dance room. “Jimin, I’m here” you closed the door behind you as you walked in to see him practicing his moves. You quietly sat down and watched him dance as the music played. “He moves so gracefully..” You said softly. “Oh! Y/N welcome to dance class! I didn’t notice you come in” Jimin said breathlessly. “Well, I could see that you were enjoying your dance. It was very beautiful.” he blushed at the comment. “Why thank you y/n, I appreciate your kind words. Shall we begin on your dancing?” You nodded as you made your way towards your instructor.
*A few hours pass by and you finish dance class*
You sighed as you ascended to your room and washed up. “Amazing how well those two know how to dance.” You said to yourself, gently washing your body, getting rid of any trace of sweat and grime. “At least I’m getting better at dancing, and I can keep to a rhythm now.” You smiled to yourself. “Alright. Next, is singing, then cooking, followed by dinner.” You reminded yourself as you finished, and turned the shower off, and stepping out, you proceeded to dry off and blow dry your hair, proceeding to dress in your pristine short blue dress.
“All finished. Just in time to tell Yoongi how it all went.” You walked out of your bathroom and made your way to your room only to run into Yoongi. “Oh, there you are! I was just about to come and find You” you smiled brightly at him. “Oh? Could this be about your recent class? With Jimin and Hoseok?” You nodded. “Yes, Jimin said I’ve gotten better with my ballet, and Hoseok has said that my rhythm with the beat has improved immensely! Isn’t that good?” You giggled and looked up at Yoongi with big eyes.
“Of course, but I was on my way to find you so I could inform you about your last two classes. They've been canceled. Taehyung called and said that he will be here next week along with Jungkook. And Jin is busy helping another student of his with an emergency” you shrugged. “Alright, well then I guess dinner will be early?” Yoongi nodded. “Quite so, my lady” Yoongi led you to the dining hall. “Tonight will be chicken and white rice, with a side of pickled red carrots and garlic cloves. Enjoy my lady.” You sat down and started to eat your dinner.
“Yoongi..” You sat there “hm?” He hummed. “What’s it like... To only live off human blood..” Yoongi sighed as he got up and walked slowly to you. “Well. It’s nothing new, basically, it’s just something that I, as a vampire must do. We get all the things we need in blood. Strength, energy, the list goes on. But the best kind of blood vampires love the most, is the type that's sweet.” He said behind you as his hand lifted your chin up.
“Kind of like yours. It’s bitter, but the taste also has a contrasting sweetness to it. Every vampire from the E level would love to have a bite of you.” Yoongi was close to your neck as he licked the skin. “Then go ahead. Stop hesitating and bite me. I am just your food. Am I wrong?” He chuckled. “Quite so my lady.” It was the last sentence you heard from him as he sunk his fangs into your neck, drinking away.
‘That’s all I’ll ever be to you. Min Yoongi’

The Downfall of Theresa May, the Prime Minister Broken by Brexit
(Bloomberg) – At 10:11 a.m., a devastated Theresa May walked back in through the black door of Number 10 Downing Street, tears in her eyes.
Once inside Theresa May found her husband, Philip, and the couple went through to the prime minister’s private study together for a few moments alone.
For May, 62, it was the end she had dreaded but could no longer avoid. After three years battling the impossible contradictions of Brexit, she was resigning as U.K. prime minister, defeated at last.
As Philip, her closest confidant and most important adviser, comforted May in her moment of distress, none of the aides or officials gathered inside No. 10 wanted to disturb them.
In truth, they had known a day earlier that there was no hope left, and the prime minister famous for her stubborn resilience would have to resign.
This article charts the final chapter of May’s undoing. Based on conversations with advisers, ministers, officials and others who asked not to be named, it reveals how a cabinet in disarray over Brexit policy finally came together to oppose the prime minister’s last desperate plan.
Less Than a Week
The walls began to close in around the British prime minister Theresa May almost exactly a week earlier. At 10:39 a.m. on Friday May 17, news broke that Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn was pulling out of cross-party talks with the government. May had wanted to reach a consensus with Labour on a way forward, after her Brexit divorce deal had been defeated three times in Parliament.
Unless she could get her deal past a vote in the Commons, Britain would have to choose between leaving the EU in October without an agreement to cushion the impact on businesses, or canceling Brexit altogether.
Beyond May—The Tory Rivals Jostling to Be U.K. Prime Minister
But Corbyn ran out of patience. The negotiations have “gone as far as they can,” he wrote in a letter to May. “The increasing weakness and instability of your government means there cannot be confidence in securing whatever might be agreed between us.” Even May’s allies knew Corbyn had a point.
More than 30 ministers have quit or been fired from May’s administration. Many resigned in protest because they disagreed with her Brexit strategy. May herself faced crisis after crisis, and promised to stand aside in an attempt to persuade her own party to keep her as leader for a little longer.
Bacon Rolls
Once Corbyn pulled the plug on the talks, May was in desperate trouble. Her team spent the weekend trying to work up a “bold” new offer to put to Parliament to tempt Labour politicians to back her. May needed to finish drafting the law that would enshrine her exit deal in statute — the Withdrawal Agreement Bill — in time to put it to a crunch vote in the first week of June.
Most of the work had been done by Monday night. But May had one massive obstacle to clear: her own cabinet.
She called a meeting of her most senior ministers for Tuesday, to thrash out how the government would respond to the collapse of the cross-party talks.
For ministers in May’s cabinet, Tuesday mornings usually begin with bacon rolls inside her Downing Street offices. The premier has made a habit of feeding her top team a hearty snack before they all sit down to a political discussion. Then they move on to the main meeting, when civil servants arrive to take a record of the government’s formal decisions. This time, there was no political chatter and no bacon. Only coffee and biscuits were served.
In sober tones, Theresa May talked through the options with her ministers. One idea stopped the discussion dead. The government needed to break the deadlock in Parliament, May argued, and must test the appetite for a second referendum on Brexit.
Tipping Point
Euroskeptic ministers such as Andrea Leadsom, Chris Grayling and Michael Gove were horrified when May suggested leaving it up to individual MPs to decide in a “free vote” whether to support another plebiscite or not. May was proposing not to order Tories to vote against a referendum she has always said would undermine democracy.
To pro-Brexit ministers gathered around the coffin-shaped cabinet table, this was madness. It would be seen as a grotesque betrayal of every promise the government has made, they said. Why was Labour Party policy — including the idea of a customs union with the EU — now suddenly part of a draft government law, they asked.

“It was just insane,” one person familiar with the discussion said in the hours afterwards. Even pro-EU ministers such as Business Secretary Greg Clark objected, while the foreign secretary and home secretary harbored misgivings.
When the meeting broke up, the Brexiteers believed they had carried the day and that May had accepted she could not push ahead with the referendum option, or the customs union that Labour had asked for. Three and a half hours later, they were shocked for a second time.
Did She Mean It?
In a speech at PwC’s officers near the Thames embankment, a short walk away, May promised Parliament a vote on whether to call a referendum to ratify the terms of the deal.
At first, some pro-Brexit Tories believed the premier had made a mistake. The speech was written at short-notice, they reasoned. She can’t have meant what she said.
But for Steve Barclay, May’s Brexit Secretary, confirmation of his worst fears came later that night. He received a copy of the bill at about 10 p.m. Tuesday and instantly knew there was a problem. Barclay, who was responsible for steering the law through the Commons, was being asked to sign off on it. By Wednesday morning, he concluded he couldn’t.
In the hours that followed, other ministers were called into a private government reading room to be shown the legal text of the draft law. One by one they decided the bill must be killed.
To Stop May
Leadsom, 56, the Leader of the House of Commons, convened a meeting of her concerned colleagues in her ornate private office behind the Speaker’s chair in Parliament. From about 11:45 a.m. onward, a rolling discussion began over how to stop May going ahead with her legal promise to legislate for a referendum if MPs vote for one.
It wasn’t the first time Leadsom had led the revolt. In meetings over slices of pizza, she had coordinated a campaign against some of May’s previous Brexit policies from inside the cabinet. On Wednesday, there wasn’t time to order food. Those discussions involved eight ministers including Barclay, Gove and Grayling, who was in touch from Germany.
The meetings ran on beyond midday as ministers discussed whether they should all resign at once. That made Leadsom 30 minutes late for prime minister’s questions in the Commons chamber. The weekly question and answer session was grim for the premier. She received none of the usual noisy support from Tories on her own side and the chamber emptied as she updated them on her latest Brexit plans. The collapse in her authority was plain to see.
Quitting by Twitter
Rumors swirled around Westminster that May was about to make a statement. Some believed the prime minister would quit that evening.
Meanwhile, deep inside Parliament, the secretive leaders of the Conservatives’ 1922 Committee met to discuss ways to force May out. They summoned her Chief Whip Julian Smith, who stayed for just two minutes, and had little to say beyond promising them a meeting with the premier Friday.
At just after 7 p.m., Leadsom picked up her mobile phone and rang May. The pair spoke for 10 minutes, but the premier could not persuade her colleague to stay. As soon as Leadsom hung up, she pressed the button on a tweet announcing her immediate resignation to the world. May’s team had no chance to take control of the narrative or draft a response.

‘Such a Concession’
“I do not believe that we will be a truly sovereign United Kingdom through the deal that is now proposed,” Leadsom wrote in her letter to May. “I have always maintained that a second referendum would be dangerously divisive, and I do not support the government willingly facilitating such a concession.”
The sun shone Thursday morning when voters across the U.K. went to the polls in the European Parliament elections. The very fact that these elections were happening at all was a painful reminder to May of her failure. The country should have left the EU on March 29 but instead was no closer to honoring the 2016 referendum result, despite three years of trying.
May knew by then that she would have to go. There was no way she could get her bill through the cabinet, never mind Parliament. That morning she told her closest allies she would announce her resignation the following day.
She traveled with her husband to vote in Sonning, the affluent village west of London where May lives. Frank conversations with Home Secretary Sajid Javid and Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt merely confirmed the inevitable.
When May stepped out to make her statement Friday morning, some of her team were already on the brink of tears. By the time she finished, May herself was overwhelmed.
“I have done my best,” she said. “I will shortly leave the job that it has been the honor of my life to hold – the second female prime minister but certainly not the last. I do so with no ill-will, but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country I love.”
