"I mean, I thought he was mean before but I realized he's just a big cute softie. He's kind of like one of those big teddy bears but instead of having a nice facial expression it has a mean facial expression, you know?"

Taehyung kept continuing to enforce random hand gestures into his conversation with Pete who was now sitting on the bed with him. It was like the dove was his best friend and someone he could talk to anything about.

"And whenever he gets close to me I feel all these butterflies in my tummy, everyone at my old school called it a crush. Well they didn't tell me.. I didn't really have any friends but I eavesdropped." The latter sadly giggled at his comment.

"It feels pointless liking him though because he's a whole Prince and I'm just a poor boy who works in the Kitchen. It's not like we'd ever be something.. I just can't help it." 

Taehyung turned his frown into a smile once he saw the dove walking around the bed as if it was trying to get a work out. He did feel like he was being selfish, he wanted Jungkook to be his friend and he got it and now he wants more.

"He is just so nice to me now.. no one's ever been this nice to me ever. And no one's ever been my friend for this long. And his laugh is so cute, one second he's all Mr. tough guy and the next he's giggly and smiling. I feel like he'd be a good cuddler.." The black haired male suddenly began daydreaming about him and the Prince cuddling. He was very glad Jungkook didn't have mind reading powers because that would be very embarassing.

But suddenly the males daydreams were cut off by the door opening to his surprise. He was excited at first because he thought Jungkook came back but instead Jimin was standing in the doorway. 

I thought he locked the door.. Taehyung thought to himself

Pete then flew away back out the window making him even more nervous because now it was just him and Jimin in the room, alone. 

"Wow I didn't realize you liked Jungkook that much." The older male chuckled before closing the door behind him.

"Can you go please.." Taehyung mumbled, crossing his legs and arms while looking down at the comforter. Jimin ignored him as he began approaching the bed and sitting down next to the latter.

"I like you Taehyung."

The said male tried not to move an inch because he was scared that if he did the older would try something with him again. 

"I'm sorry for what I did earlier. I was hoping we could be friends again, I'll take you on a date to make it up to you." Jimin tried to convince but was still getting no response from Taehyung who was squinting his eyes shut hoping he would just go away. "And maybe after that we can try the game again if you want to."

The latter shook his head no, all of the memories coming back to him. He wished Jungkook would come back so he could get rid of Jimin for him. He was having a great rest of the day until now.

"No?" The older chuckled. "I mean I guess we could do it now if you really wanted to."

Taehyung's eyes widened back up once he felt Jimin's hand rest on his shoulder before his mouth met his neck, sucking that area before the younger pushed him off with water in his eyes again.

"I said no Jimin! I don't like you!" The latter almost yelled, wiping away his tears as he began moving his black hoodie around so it would hide the hickey on his neck.

Jimin placed an annoyed look onto his face before pushing himself off the bed. "You will." He announced. "Have fun explaining that hickey to your little Prince."

Taehyung wiped away his incoming tears again, looking out the window to see if Pete was coming back but he wasn't. So the latter sat with his legs crossed on the bed and his head looking down into his lap as he tried to squint the tears away.

And like his wishes were being heard, Jungkook entered the room immediately looking concerned once he saw Taehyung sitting with his head down.

"Tae? What happened are you okay? Why was the door open?" 

The said male succeeded at holding back his tears as he looked up and met the Prince's doe eyes that he loved. "I opened it to go to the bathroom."

Jungkook sighed out in relief as he sat down on the bed next to the latter. "I told you to keep it closed, what if Jimin came in?"

Taehyung kept quiet as he fidgeted with his fingers. He didn't want to be the reason Jungkook and Jimin got into something like a fight and have another reason to be mad at each other, he thought he has been selfish enough.

"Is he going to be fired?" The older suddenly asked with hope in his voice. His hope went away once he saw Jungkook sadly shake his head. "Not yet.. my dad doesn't believe me."

Taehyung dropped his head again in disappointment, pulling his hood over his head making sure that the hickey could not be seen. The Prince was going to ask why he put his hood on but thought he'd keep it to himself.

"But hey, I'm pretty positive you're going to get a pay raise."

"Really?" 

Jungkook nodded, smiling after he saw that a small smile showed up on the latters face. "I think I at least convinced him to do that."

"Thank you Kook!" The older exclaimed before excitedly wrapped his arms around the Prince. Jungkook paused for a moment when he was hugged, the action being unusual since he hasn't been hugged in so long. But after a moment he happily hugged back.

Once Taehyung felt the Prince hug him back it was like he instantly forgot about Jimin's existence since he felt so safe in the youngers arms. He never wanted to leave that spot.

"Hey it's pretty dark out." Jungkook commented as the two separated from each other. "I can walk you home if you'd like."

"You don't have to.." The latter said, he was feeling so selfish this day and he didn't like it.

"I want to Tae."

The said male looked up at the younger with a faint smile. His eyes still had water in them but it wasn't very visible, it looked like it was just the reflection of something. "Thank you Kook, I'll grab my stuff."

Jungkook watched as the black haired male hopped off the bed and out the door with literal hearts in his eyes, turning his attention away from him and back to the window where Pete was back at again.

"Wanna join or something?" The Prince asked the dove who walked around in a circle after he asked the question. Taking that as a yes the male walked over to the window, picked up the dove, and placed him onto his shoulder as he waited for the older to come back.

"I haven't seen that movie in ages." Jungkook chuckled alongside Taehyung who now had Pete on his shoulders as they both walked to the elders house.

"I wonder if Pete's seen it." The black haired male smiled as he looked at the bird sitting on his shoulder. "He doesn't look much like a Harry Potter fan."

Both males softly chuckled as they continued to walk on a path in the pitch black night sky, paparazzi wasn't a worry since barely anything was visible at this hour. Although once they continued walking further they could see an orange glowing light in the distance, both shrugging it off.

"So um Jungkook?"  The said male turned his head to look at the latters side profile. "What's up?"

"What happened between you and Lucas?" Taehyung mumbled since he knew it was a sensitive topic to the younger. The Prince's smile quickly faded away at the name, sighing before speaking again.

"He was my first boyfriend."

Oh  the latter thought to himself. He didn't understand why that would cause a feud though, other than breaking up he supposed.

"He didn't actually like me, he just found it fun to toy with my feelings and make me feel worthless." The Prince let out a sad chuckle. "I remember when we had our first kiss he just left right afterwards, went to go find Jimin so they could fuck each other."

Jungkook's never really vented his feelings out to someone before like this, but he felt comfortable with Taehyung. He felt like the older didn't judge him at all. "Jimin always gets what he wants, he never cares about anybody but himself. Everything that I've ever wanted he's got. Even my own parents love him more than me."

"Don't say that." The black haired male stated. "Your parents love you so much, I'd do anything to have my parents back again."

The younger felt like punching himself for saying too much, the last thing he was trying to do was offend Taehyung. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't of said that."

"Don't worry about it Kook, just know that your parents do love you more than anything whether they act like it or not."

The Sous Chef definitely had a way with words because with just that simple sentence Jungkook felt hopeful again that his parents did love him whether how much he believed it or not. Before either of the two could get another word out the dove on the elders shoulder flew up in the air and away.

Both Taehyung and Jungkook were confused since that bird would never fly away, but once they turned their attention to what was in front of them they both understood why. Their hearts dropped in an instant and especially Taehyung's.

"N-no." The said male mumbled, cupping his hands over his mouth as he watched the scene.

The Church he always used to go to everyday was covered in flames, burning down slowly as the wood began collapsing onto the ground. The fire was moving so fast that it already started heading west which was exactly where Taehyung's house was located.

Without even thinking the latter began running towards the direction of his house, not even being able to look at the Church anymore knowing that's where he used to go everyday to talk to his parents.

"Tae wait!" The Prince yelled but the said male didn't listen as he kept running, Jungkook taking his eyes off the fearful fire before chasing after the older. Both were hoping so hard that Taehyung's house wasn't burning down, but they barely didn't even have time to think about that because of how fast they were running to the location.

goodnight<3
