Third Person's POV
The sun beat down on his pale skin as he stepped out of the carriage. Minutes later he found himself on the sidelines of the vibrant green field, his men following behind. They had arrived in Sankori a few minutes ago and some men were already scattered there to welcome them.
Welcome, huh!?
Was it really? No, they prince of Zemira doesn't think so.
"Welcome to Sankori" A deep voice echoed as the prince of Sankori walked to him.
Polite is good when the good manners come from a sense of honest love and are reciprocal. Polite is bad when it is a shield for cold emotions and indifferent intentions then why did Jungkook felt that the politeness by the man in front of him was more of the good one.
"This is Kim Taehyung, Prince of Sankori" Hoseok introduced.
"This is Jeon Jungkook, Prince of Zemira" Beomgyu replied politely as well.
While, Taehyung and Jungkook were looking at each other with blank faces. It was unreadable for both of them. The youngest between the two averted his perspective gaze down for a moment before fluttering them shut and then fixating back on Taehyung.
He saw how Taehyung stays calm standing in front of him as he parts his lips though the older was failing to gather the words to say but he eventually does,
"I never knew Jeon had such a pretty brother"
Eh-?
Did Taehyung really said that out loud. Well he did for sure and that's what made Hoseok shocked. Kim Taehyung, the prince of Sankori never found someone pretty for himself so what happened now and that too the rival kingdom's prince.
"Shut the fuck up Kim, this isn't a war and don't try it to turn it to one with your cringey words"
Jungkook was shocked as well he never expected Taehyung to say that and he didn't knew how to respond to that, nevertheless he did.
They were here for a and that's what they were going to do. Nothing more nothing less but oh well, most of the times things don't go according to plan and this was no exception.
Formal meeting is the right name. Formal. The formal clothes and egos, not a smile that isn't painted on or an opinion that isn't so safe as to be completely pointless. It's as if we're colluding in how to have the most un-fun experience of living possible away from everything that really matters to all of us.
Now, a meeting between Zemira and Sankori was to form an alliance for the foreign policy exchange of both the kingdoms and just that.
Hoseok cleared his throat trying to reduce the awkward atmosphere and then Beomgyu took the initiative to introduce the others as well.
"This is Choi Yeonjun, the Councilor of Zemira. This is Park Rosanne and Kim Jisoo, the Alchemist of Zemira and I am Choi Beomgyu, the Grand Diplomat of Zemira"
Hoseok nod his head and acknowledgement and replied with a polite smile,
"I am Jung Hoseok, the Grand Diplomat of Sankori. You will meet the others later"
Hoseok looked at Taehyung, only to find him and Jungkook having a staring contest again with the same unreadable expression as well. Yeonjun followed Hoseok's gaze as well and Yeonjun was determined to have a conversation about this later with the aforementioned.
"I will show you guys around the cottage you would be staying at and then we will meet later at the dinner where you all can meet the others" Hoseok informed and everyone except Jungkook nod their heads as they were dead tired after the journey.
"Follow my lead" Hoseok said and turned around.
Taehyung following as well as he walked beside Hoseok lost in his thoughts. The other five followed them to the cottage to get settled and rest for a bit.
To hate is often a failure to see alternative perspectives and imagine the emotional realities of others. Time and situations were going to be the most unexpected aspects of Taehyung and Jungkook's life. They were oblivious of it now but now for long.
