[XXVI]
"How have you been Mr. Kim? I heard about what happened to your house." The King questioned the said male as they walked down the hallway to where Taehyung figured out they were walking to one of the living rooms.
"Oh yeah, the fire." The latter sadly chuckled. "I've been feeling better, Prince Jungkook has been keeping me company since which is very nice of him." Taehyung blushed to himself while recalling their little picnic, and definitely not forgetting about the small kiss Jungkook gave him. In fact that's all he's been thinking about since that moment.
"That is very nice of him. I'm glad he is now acting the way he used to, he seems much happier now thanks to you." The man smiled in Taehyung's direction as he opened the door to the living room.
Taehyung smiled back for a split second but his face quickly dropped once he looked into the room to see Jimin sitting on one of the couches. His heart felt like it stopped beating and he only stood in the corner as he watched the King walk into the room.
"Anyways, there is something I must discuss with you and Jimin. Take a seat please." The Man forwarded his arm out indicating Taehyung to sit next to the Jimin. It was the last thing the black haired male wanted to do but he didn't have a choice because well, it was the King's command.
Very slowly Taehyung began approaching the couch while staring at the spot next to Jimin, not making eye contact with him as he sat himself down and awkwardly fumbled around with his hands in his lap.
Both of the males watched the King sit down with nervous looks on their faces. "I am not sure if both of you know why you're here, but for starters all I'd like to know is where you have gone with each other in the past couple days."
"Not many places to be honest, mainly just this Castle with the exception of going archery together one time with Prince Jungkook." Jimin immediately responded, not even giving Taehyung the chance to talk.
"Is this true Taehyung?"
"Yes." The said male responded with an uncomfortable look on his face.
"Was Jungkook with you two the whole time?" The man raised an eyebrow.
Taehyung didn't even try to speak because he knew Jimin would beat him to it. "Most of the time, although he did go by himself to the lake for a bit. Me and Tae just continued archery."
Don't call me Tae Taehyung wanted to say but held himself back from doing so, looking down into his lap as he let Jimin do all of the talking.
"Elaborate please."
Jimin already knew once he was called by the King that this subject would be brought up so he already had a whole story line planned out with extra details.
"First it started with all of us hanging out, Jungkook then wanted to be alone for a few so he walked over by the lake. Once he was gone Taehyung asked me to help him shoot the arrow since he didn't know how, which don't be embarrassed Tae it was hard my first time too." Jimin patted the younger on his shoulder with a smirk on his face. "I kept helping him until he got a bullseye, and after he did Jungkook came back. Taehyung and him hung out for a bit after and I left back to the Castle."
Everything Jimin said was true, but he left a huge part out which annoyed Taehyung so much. But now what was he supposed to say? No that's wrong, he sexually harassed me in the middle of a forest and almost r*ped me. Lucas was also there and was apart of the plan.? He could say that but now he was way too nervous to.
"Ok. Taehyung what is your side of the story?" The King questioned.
Jimin happily sat back on the couch with a satisfied expression on his face knowing Taehyung wasn't going to say anything. The younger gulped as he looked up from his hands.
"U-um.." He started before looking over at Jimin who had the 'don't you dare say anything' look on his face. "Uh yeah, J-Jimin just helped me with archery and then Jungkook came back. Uh we went to the Church afterwards and sat on top of the roof. We went back to the Castle after that."
The uncertainty in Taehyung's voice made the King second guess that what he was saying was true. Jimin just sat back and tried to not look nervous even though he was.
The King leaned forward on his chair a bit to look the Sous Chef dead in the eye.
"Are you sure Taehyung?"
The said male took a quick look at Jimin who looked more intimidating than the last time and quickly looked back at the King. "I'm sure." The man leaned back in his chair and breathed out a huff of air.
"The reason I am asking this is because my son told me that Jimin had done some inappropriate things to you Taehyung, and it is very important that I know what he is saying is true or not."
Taehyung was about to reply again before Jimin interrupted.
"I can assure you, Your Highness, that Jungkook is definitely not telling the truth. We have been in a feud for a while so he probably is just angry with me. I promise you I would never do something like that."
"Is he correct?" The King averted his attention to Taehyung who wanted to tell the truth so badly, but he just couldn't find the courage to do so. This was also something he hated talking about or even thinking about, he felt like he was going to die just sitting next to Jimin alone.
The black haired male couldn't even say the word 'yes' knowing how big of a lie that was, so all he could do was nod his head yes causing the man to stand up and Jimin to smile in relief.
"Well in that case I will be having a talk with my son, you two are free to go. Thank you both for telling the truth."
"Of course Your Majesty."
Taehyung watched as Jimin walked out of the room with an annoyingly happy smile on his face, one that the younger just wanted to rip off but he obviously couldn't. He didn't even have the courage to stand up for himself.
Before the black haired could leave the room the King stopped him by putting a hand on his shoulder causing the latter to turn around.
"Taehyung, are you sure he was right? I do not want to keep him here if he did something like that to you."
"It's all right Your Majesty, he did nothing to me. I'm fine." The said male responded. He uncertainly looked around the room for someone else to stand up for him even though there was no one.
The King sighed as he took his hand off Taehyung's shoulder. "Well then you are free to go. I need to find my son, thank you."
Taehyung bowed before finally leaving the room. It made him feel even worse about himself knowing Jungkook was going to get in trouble which he didn't want at all, he really just couldn't spit the true words out.
As he turned the corner he was quickly halted by Jimin who had pinned him to the wall causing the younger to squint his eyes.
"I swear if you say anything, anything to anyone I will not hesitate to continue our game whether you like it or not. Understand?" The older scoffed out causing tears to well up in Taehyung's eyes as he nodded for the life of him.
Jimin took his hands off the latters shoulders and headed back down the hallway leaving Taehyung to run back to Jungkook's room, knowing he messed up big time.
-
"What are you doing in here?" Namjoon questioned the Prince once he opened up the room to the guest room Taehyung has been staying in. He came in there since he couldn't find Jungkook anywhere else.
"What?" The said Prince exclaimed while holding a pair of clothes in his hands. "Oh.." He chuckled once he saw Namjoon, turning back around. "This morning I went to the store to buy Tae some new clothes since he doesn't have much, I'm just putting them in his drawer."
The Butler smiled to himself as he watched the younger continue to stack way to many clothes into Taehyung's drawer. He did wonder why Jungkook was gone for five hours early in the morning before he took Taehyung out.
"And what's this?" Namjoon questioned as he picked up a glass decoration shaped in the form of a dove.
The Prince smiled once he turned around again, seeing the decoration. "I got that for him too."
"How much was it?" The older asked while examining the beautiful piece.
"Eh I forgot."
Namjoon sighed to himself knowing Jungkook probably spent way too much money on the decoration and clothes. He set the dove down and walked over to the Prince who was still organizing Tae's drawer.
"Jungkook, it's so obvious you like him." The older commented making the said male stop what he was doing. "You have to admit it."
Jungkook sighed as he placed the last pair of clothes into the drawer, closing it afterwards.
"I hate that I like him though, he'll never actually like me back after everything I've done to him. It's useless but I can't help it. My parents wouldn't even agree to it because he works for me."
"At least you're admitting it." Namjoon chuckled as he followed Jungkook over to the couch in his the guest room. The older sat down after he watched the Prince sit down.
"If only my anger didn't get the best of me and I didn't fuck everything up as always, maybe he'd like me too." Jungkook blankly said, looking off to the side. "I even fucking kissed him."
"You did?" Jungkook nodded.
"I hate being a Prince, I wish I could just live a normal life and love who ever I wanted to and do whatever-"
"Love?"
"What?"
"You said love Jungkook." Namjoon pointed out. The Prince didn't even know he said that, he meant to say 'like' but apparently his mind got the best of him.
Jungkook made a 'pssht' sound as he stood up. "I don't even know what love is Namjoon, I don't know what I'm saying." He stated before walking over to the door to head back to his room.
But before he himself could open the door, it was opened for him by none other that Taehyung who had regret plastered all over his face along with hot tears streaming down his cheeks.
some people still don't understand so i'll say it again. just because i make a character the antagonist in the book does not mean i don't like them in reality so please stop commenting on why i made Jimin or whoever the 'bad guy' in any of my books. the characters i make up for them in stories are not how i see them in real life because it is just fiction. i am basically just taking their name and adding it to a completely random personality since it is based off of the BTS members which is what a fanfiction is intended to do.
if you still don't understand read my latest message on my message board, but otherwise thank you for the support and i'll update soon :) love ygs <3
