SEOKJIN HEAVES a heavy sigh as he stood in front of the large body mirror. Tons of tailors and stylists measured and styled his coronation outfit as it hugged his body well.
Seokjin stares at his reflection, a tired look on him as it was early in the morning. After returning to Aloral yesterday, he had received a very big welcoming. As they would find out, Alorians set up search parties all over town in looks for the prince. The idea made Seokjin's heart warm.
His mother, the Queen, spent a lot of time anticipating Prince Seokjin's arrival ever since the news came out that he'd been missing. Upon reuniting, she sobbed for hours. Seokjin felt so guilty, but they quickly made up as she was just glad he was back home.
And now, his coronation was about to commence. The entire town was coming to watch the new king of Aloral be crowned. It was safe to say, Seokjin was extremely nervous.
He had the leadership skills and the right ideas about things, as he'd attended meetings with his father before. But he was also scared because now, he had less free time and more responsibilities.
To rule an entire kingdom, to have every choice and every idea be up to you, was so much pressure.
Not to mention, Seokjin had a funeral to attend soon. The thought made him frown.
"Seokjin." Jungkook says from beside him. The tired prince looks over at his protector who only gives him a big, reassuring smile. "You're gonna be a great king." He says, giving a dorky thumbs up. He'd notice Seokjin's tense and nervous exterior and had to immediately ease him somehow.
Seokjin's big eyes flicker from Jungkook's doe ones and down to his thumbs. He scoffs a laugh, shaking his head as he found the younger boy quite cute. "Thank you, Kookie." Seokjin mutters. "But I know you're only saying that because you have to."
Jungkook quickly shakes his head. "No, I really believe it." He's quick to defend. "You may think you aren't ready, but I think you can adapt quickly. You're smart like that."
The prince's lip tugs upward at Jungkook's words. "I hope so." Seokjin sighs, his shoulders dropping. "It's just a lot of pressure. It happened to fast, I'm just nervous." He admits to his protector.
Jungkook presses his lips into a line, watching as Seokjin tried to calm his nerves. "Don't worry. I'll be with you every step of the way." He reassures, sending him a small smile.
Seokjin returns the smile, eyeing his protector and his brother with so much adoration. "Where's Nari, by the way? Don't think I didn't notice how close you two have gotten." He chuckles, raising an eyebrow. The tailors lift Seokjin's arm, measuring the length of it before bringing it back down.
Jungkook only blushes, turning away from Seokjin to look out the window so he wouldn't catch and tease him about it. "She said something about wanting to see the coronation preparations being done outside." He muttered, crossing his arms.
