Our Kingdom - Namjin Yoonmin Taekook

Ch. Thirty

Pov. Taehyung

I'm not gonna lie, doing this to Kook it's kind of a dick move. The boy thinks I'll be ready to spend the night with him. And yet, here I am looking at him help the dragons enter the castle from afar. He might get worried but this is the perfect time to do this. I've been waiting for a chance like this for years!

Like almost every night, I dive into the forest making sure no one is watching me. And just like I expected, there's only a few dragons left there. Most of them are close to the castle to make sure everything goes well. But here, I can find the one I was looking for. The silent leader.

Our eyes meet and after looking behind him to make sure we're alone, he makes me a sign to come closer. I sit by the side of the old man who doesn't seems scared or annoyed with me despite being a wolf. I shift to my human form and he breaks the silence.

- So you're my Kookie's guardian angel

- You saw me before! I was never sure about it!

- Of course I saw you! I'm a dragon! The last that can shift. My senses are better than most! So tell me...what is a little wolf like you doing in my forest?

I have to try my best not to scream excited. This is the protector of this place. A dragon. A complete one. I could just die right now and I would be happy. If he wasn't so old I would ask him to shift and carry me on his back. But this is not the right time for that

- You probably don't like hearing this, Sir...but I'm Kim Taehyung. I believe you know who my father and my grandfather were...

In just a second his eyes turn a dark shade of red. His kindness disappears and he doubts for second if maybe he should call for help. But I can't let that happen. So without losing another second I go straight to the point

- I bring something from my grandpa

- Nothing good can come from that useless old man. What do you bring?

- An apology. Nothing more. The day he died he told me everything. He went to hell regretting everything he did to you. I came here to bring you the words he couldn't say back then...

- I won't forgive him, but I do appreciate his gesture. Maybe hell's fire will burn a little less today.

- Hahaha maybe...

- And you? Do you bring me something as well?

- Actually, I do. I have a plan!

- Let's pretend trusting a Kim isn't a stupid thing to do. What's that plan you have?

- I wanna give you and the other creatures your lands back. They belong to you!

- There's nothing left for us there... You sound like my daughters and sons. All wanting to take over that castle like it's that important. Honestly, I'm fine with seeing your family die. That's enough for me

- Really? I thought you wanted to enter that cave again...

- Our cave is still there?!

There's an emotion in his words that escapes his control. That place was his home, where he was born and raised. He believed for so long that it was gone forever he has to fight his tears. But I'm not blind. I can see the way it affects him. In the way he talks and the way he moves

- It's there just the way you left it. But we can't go without a dragon. A powerful one I mean

- I'll go. I might be old but I can still fly down there!

- I wanna say yes but... knowing my family, you shouldn't leave the forest without protection

- Well I don't see you growing wings anytime soon, kid

- No...But maybe there's someone else. A dragon that..could shift once he sees the cave. Y-You know a brave, amazing, strong, lovely dragon...

The words come out of me without thinking and once more I find myself smiling. I try to look away so he doesn't see me blushing but I think it's too late

- If my little Kookie falls for a Kim... I'm glad that's you and not one of your brothers

- W-We are just friends! We s-spend some hours a day together and we train t-that's it!

- Mhm... don't let him forget who he is, Taehyung. Take care of him, like the guardian angel you are.

- Y-Yes, Sir

I don't know how we ended up talking about this. I just wanted him to know my plan. Because I'm supposed to be doing this as my duty. But...I will admit what my feelings for Kook might be another small reason for me to help...

- You should go back, boy. My family will be back soon, and they don't like listening to wolves like you

- I will. I promise everything will be okay!

- I hope so... You're a good grandson. That horrible man didn't deserve you as part of his family. Kookie on the other side wouldn't care having you as his hus-

- S-Sir! I told you we-

- Your eyes don't lie, so don't try it. Now go...you have things to do...

I wanna argue but I can't. I run back to the castle, trying not to make much noise. I see some of the dragons coming back from the castle. Some of them taking things they stole from us. Well, what can I do? Material things don't matter much to me anyway.

As I enter through the window I can hear Jungkook calling my name. He doesn't sound that far so I run up to where he is. He looks desperate and he's holding his chest with a really painful expression. Oh shit.

- K-Kookie?

He turns around and for a moment I see a red color in his eyes. But a second later it's gone and I'm sure I was wrong. He comes my way and I'm ready for him to be angry. But instead he hugs me so tight I can hardly breathe

- You're okay...Oh my fucking God, where the hell were you? I thought...I...Why did you leave without me?!

His voice sounds tired and he seems to be sweating a lot. I touch his forehead and I swear it looks like he's on fire. Did I do this? Did I really worry him so much?

- I-I'm sorry, Kookie...I won't do it again but don't worry, everything is fine

- No, it's not! I thought you were gone! Forever! I-

- Hey, my cute little dragon, relax... I'm right here with you

- How can I relax?! I almost have a heart attack! I can hardly breathe and I-

My lips touch his. His arms stop being so tense around my waist and instead hold me softer and closer. His fever is still there because I'm not magical, but I can feel him come back from his scared thoughts.

- I'm here. And I'm not leaving...not without my favorite Alpha in the world...

He doesn't answer. Not with words at least. But another kiss comes and this time it feels deeper, more possessive, different. I don't know what's going on through his head. But I'm not complaining...

Next Chapter

Yoongi, you don't look threatening enough to give warnings

Were you ever scared of dying?
