Myosotis (yoonmin) ON HOLD

Chapter fīf

( Very very long chapter :] )

''Namjoon, we are so proud of you for not stepping on Jin's toe!'' Jungkook exclaimed, while he stuffed a piece of garlic bread in his mouth.

The two kings accompanied with the prince and his husband are seated at the dinner table, the laughter and the sound of cutlery filling the dining room.

''I- I think we have to cele- celebrate again, just for that!'' Taehyung added, the words coming out almost unhearable, because of all the food in his mouth.

Jin sighed, "Taehyung how many times I have to tell you to not eat with your mouth full.''

''Sorry!'' Taehyung replied with his mouth still full, a big smile plastered on his face. Jin sighed again, averting his gaze to the smoked salmon on the porcelain plate in front of him.

''I danced pretty good, if I say so myself'' The king gave himself a pet on his shoulder.

''Don't think too high of yourself yet, Namjoon! You still have a lot to learn.'' Taehyung said teasingly, stealing the piece of bread from Jungkook's hand.

''You indeed danced pretty good, maybe even better than me.'' Jin looked at his husband sideways, a proud smile appearing on his face. ''I am so proud of you for taking that step, Namjoon.''

''It was harder than I thought it would be and my fear of failure was not really helping either, but you know what helped me through it all?''

''What?'' Jin asked, already knowing what his husband would say next, the answer showing brightly in his eyes.

''Don't say you, otherwise I will puke.'' Taehyung interrupted, while making a gagging noise. Jungkook pinched Taehyung's arm painfully, and signaled Namjoon to reveal his cheesy answer.

Namjoon laughed shyly and felt a little embarrassed because everyone's attention on the table was now focused on him. ''Mmm, now I am not saying it.'' Namjoon mumbled while he fidgeted nervously with the edges of the dark red tablecloth.

The others couldn't help but laugh loudly as they saw the king's flustered face. Jin had adjusted his position so he could completely face his husband and gave him a kiss on his lips. ''You are the cutest.'' Both king's smiled and pressed their foreheads together.

There was no need for Namjoon to continue his sentence, because the words were already lost in the lovely thoughts of the two, ''I love you'' both said at the same time, and again laughter filled the room.

Here inside the castle, secured by the massive walls, the royal family was able to completely be themselves. No need for honorifics and no need to be a role model anymore.

As king's and prince's, they have to act and speak a certain way, they always have to help and encourage the villagers. Which means that they have to present themselves as someone, who they sometimes not hundred precent are and sometimes they have to put on a persona, which is loved by all the seelies.

It is absolutely understandable, if you just think about it. Which kingdom does not want a strong and fierce king, a king with no shortcomings, no insecurities and no weaknesses?

So when they are surrounded by these massive walls, which separate them from the outside world, when the palace doors finally are closed and the royal family is given their privacy again, you can remove the word royal and call these seelies living in this place a family, just a normal family, a family who loves one another, a family who cares for each other, a family where they can laugh with, cry with, feel safe with.
