Four days were now left until the Masquerade Ball, which meant it was time to start setting up the ball room. The invitations were sent out to each house the day before so it was certain there would be many showing up.

After almost too much convincing, Namjoon was finally able to get Jungkook out of bed to help with the set up since the King and Queen ordered him to. The catch was that Namjoon would help the Prince sneak out tonight to ask Taehyung to the ball.

The last week and a half was more than painful for Jungkook. Actually quite scary because his temper rose each day without the black haired male, meaning something new would be broken each day out of anger and depression.

He didn't understand how everyone moved on from Taehyung leaving so quickly. 

Jin was still smiling while talking to Namjoon, Yoongi and Hoseok seemed to be having the time of their life in their own little bubble. Even Jimin seemed joyful while talking to the King and Queen who were rearranging tables.

Oh how bad Jungkook wanted Jimin to be fired already.

"Can we go pick out flowers for Tae now?" The said male impatiently asked Namjoon who was in conversation with Jin, crossing his arms and lightly tapping his foot on the ground.

"We've been in this room for three minutes Jungkook, patience." The older stated like he was the parent.

Another part of the agreement was that Namjoon would be Jungkook's bodyguard and take him to the flower shop so the Prince would have a bouquet to give Taehyung when asking him. 

"Oh my god look a cat!" Hoseok suddenly exclaimed to Yoongi who looked behind before looking back at the younger. "Where?"

"Right there." Hoseok giggled as he pointed to the latter who sighed and pursed his lips into a line.

"I hate you."

"No you love me." The older of the two whispered into Yoongi's ear so only the said male could here making him unknowingly blush.   

Jungkook felt like he was going to die watching Hoseok and Yoongi flirt with each other. In the past it wouldn't of bothered him but now it did because all he could think about was him and Taehyung flirting like that.

"We're going." The Prince suddenly said to Namjoon, taking his arm and leading him out of the room while ignoring all of his complaints. Including his Father's and Mother's.

-

"What does this one mean?" Jungkook asked the Flower Shop worker for what it felt like the hundredth time. He was going through all the flowers in the store and asking for their meaning so he could get the right set of flowers for Taehyung.

"A Mother's love." The worker told, looking at the pink Carnation the Prince was pointing at. 

Not that one  he thought to himself as he moved onto the next shelf. Namjoon was in the back of the store waiting very patiently for Jungkook to finish even though they've probably been there for over an hour.

"What about this one?" He asked once again while pointing to a Gardenia.

"Secret love."

"Okay, I'll add that one to the bouquet." Jungkook told while moving alongside the shelf. The worker groaned as he added a few Gardenia's to the mix, he could only add a couple though since there were so many other flowers crowded together.

"This one?" Jungkook pointed to an Amaryllis.

"Pride." The worker yawned out.

"This one?"

"'Think of me.'"

"Okay add those two, I'm done." The Prince told as he began walking up to the cash register and to the man who was on the verge of falling asleep.

"Finally." Namjoon mumbled to himself, checking his watch to see that it's now almost been two hours.

Jungkook swiped his card as the worker set the giant bouquet onto the counter. The said male admired the flowers for a second before taking the mix, waving to the man who seemed very annoyed and walking out of the store along with Namjoon.

"Do you think he'll like them?" The younger asked his butler who gave him a glance. "What do you think?"

"What if he doesn't.." Jungkook suddenly softened the pitch of his voice. He really wanted Taehyung to like the flowers because now he was starting to get nervous about it. He usually was never nervous about things like these.

Namjoon and Jungkook walked up the pathway to the Castle while the younger was still carefully examining the flowers in his arms. The older of the two found it quite cute how much the Prince cared for Taehyung, he saw Jungkook as his his little brother who was finding love for the first time.

"He will, I'm sure of it."

-

The days now were actually quite boring to Taehyung now that he had no work to do. He didn't really know why he had to quite his job, well at first he thought it'd be more relaxing but now he missed it.

The said male picked up his backpack from the ground and sat on his bed with it. He could say though that he very much liked being with his brother, even if he was gone from Jungkook. He missed the Prince so much, but he also loved being around family that was actually alive. It felt nice.

Taehyung reached his hand into the backpack trying to search for the Nintendo switch that Jungkook had given him since he was bored out of his mind, but instead his hand caught onto a thin piece of paper that felt like an envelope.

Pulling it out, the black haired examined the letter that had his parents name on it. "Ah, I forgot about this." He said to himself, remembering it was the envelope he found in the fire.

As soon as he was holding onto it, Pete suddenly flew into the room which startled Taehyung a bit. But it also didn't because the dove flying in to see him was a daily thing, he actually loved it very much because it was almost as if Jungkook was sending Pete to him. Probably not but he liked to think about it that way.

"Hi Pete!"

Since he completely forgot about it until now, he thought it'd be an okay time to open it since he was in a good state of mind and relaxed.

Taehyung slipped the note out of the envelope and took it into his hands. The more he held onto it without reading it the more his hands began to shake before opening it. He didn't know if his parents wanted him reading it or not, but he thought it would be fine since it was for him.

"Hey Taetae, It's Mom and Dad."

It was probably too soon but the said male already felt like tearing up at the words. He was just getting over the loss of his parents and now it was all coming back to him.

"You're probably wondering why we just gave this to you. Don't worry, you're not in trouble. You never get in trouble anyways."

Taehyung giggled as he continued to read.

"We have given this to you because I think you'd prefer to read this instead of listening to us talk about it, which is also why we sent you to your room to read this. But otherwise, there has probably been a dove you have been seeing that's been following you wherever you go. You're also probably wondering why this dove has been following you along with a special someone."

The black haired male widened his eyes while looking at Pete, looking back at the letter in shock.

"We wrote this message just when you were a baby, figuring we only needed to give it to you if this dove did appear. You should be glad it did, because this means that you have found your true love!"

"W-what.." 

"I know, I know, you're probably thinking we're crazy. This has been a tradition in our family, I know this because your great grandma told me it happened with her and great grandpa as well. Whenever someone in our family finds their soulmate, the dove will follow the both of you almost wherever you go. It's almost like a blessing in a way, I do not know why though. I just know that the person you like the most right now was meant for you. The dove that is probably next to you right now is a sign that you have found your lover."

"Since we wrote this so long ago we do not know who you like. But know that we do not care whether it is a girl, a boy, a unicorn, we still love you no matter what. We both hope you find happiness with your special person.

              -Love, Mom and Dad."

Once Taehyung felt tears pricking at his eyes, he set the letter down and covered his mouth with his hands in shock. 

He looked over at the dove once and suddenly everything made sense. The day him and Jungkook spent together that was the first one considered to be 'romantic', the dove appeared. Whenever him and Jungkook argued or were having a moment, the dove was there. 

As tears ran down his face, Taehyung took the bird into his hands and held him close to his face with a big smile on his face even though he was crying. 

"T-thank you Pete."

The male didn't even give himself to cry any longer as he quickly hopped out of his bed, putting shoes on and almost sprinting down the stairs. He had to see Jungkook, he couldn't mentally and physically stand being away from him now.

"Woah woah woah where do you think you're going?" Yucheon suddenly questioned, turning off the television and standing up to face his younger brother.

"I need to see Jungkook." The younger told, taking the keys from the counter with him while heading towards the door quickly. Before he could even put his hand on the door handle, his wrist was gripped tightly by Yucheon who spun him around to face him.

"No you're not."
