"Hyung! Where have you been? I wanted to bake today and I couldn't find you anywhere and then settled in the library. I was craving some brownies!" Taehyung cutely pouted, the low grumble of his tummy reverberating through the silent columns of the library.
Seokjin had promised to bake with Taehyung a week ago but some problems came up needing the man to rush out of the palace.
"Tae, do you want to bake now? Hyung, had some responsibilities to attend to," Seokjin pinched his younger brother-in-law's chubby cheeks. It was their thing, cooking together.
Namjoon was scared that his lover might not get along with his brothers but it was in fact the complete opposite. Seokjin and Taehyung cooked together and Jin treated the boy like his baby.
Jimin and Seokjin had something you'd call tough love. They bicker a lot, throwing sarcastic comments at each other or picking at each other but if someone else messes with one of them the other will become like a lion ready to pounce at its prey.
After the wedding, all of them got even chummier that even Namjoon wondered whether Seokjin was his husband or theirs with the love he showers on them.
Seokjin and Taehyung sneaked into the kitchen after the chefs left and let's just say the kitchen was a chocolatey floury mess with the brothers on the countertop eating their chewy brownies until Namjoon found them releasing a sigh of distress at the state of the kitchen.

The alarm blared beside Taehyung, nearly making the prince fall off of the bed with how hard he bounced in shock.
Taehyung rubbed his eyes, the desperate need for sleep was clearly visible from the slight bags forming under his eyes. His eyes wandered around his room, adjusting to how bright it was.
Bright?
"Oh no," Taehyung mumbled before jumping out of bed and running around his room getting ready with his toothbrush in his mouth.
Taehyung was still in his oversized sweater with his tiger paw fuzzy slippers running down the huge hallways of the palace, his curly hair bouncing away uncontrollably.
" You finally decided to finally bestow his presence upon us. Is this what you young people call fashionably late?" King Jaehyun questioned, his eyebrow arched ever so perfectly.
"Sorry Appa, uhm一" Taehyung fiddled with his sweater paws looking down, his hair covering his terribly embarrassed face.
Namjoon hyung had already preempted him about today's agenda and he forgot about it.
"Oh baby," Kim Areum hugged her son, pulling a chair out for him in the process. The queen then proceeded to gently punch the shoulder of her husband.
Really sometimes the father who was loving and kind every time forgot that he was talking to his own son.
Can you blame him?
His mind was clouded with his duties and needed his wife to put some sense into his brain.
"Sorry Taehyung-ah, I'm very stressed with what's going on right now. I sincerely apologise. Will you forgive your dad?" Kim Jaehyun ruffled his son's hair seeking his forgiveness.
Taehyung's boxy smile reappeared on his face before a cute pout settled after the wheels in heads turned.
"Shouldn't I be the one to apologise?" Taehyung asked, tilting his head slightly.
Everyone else at the table starting laughing at Taehyung's cuteness and everything that happened was forgotten in an instant only smiles and laughter.
Kim Jaehyun cleared his throat, "I have gathered everyone in the family here because we have a very important task at hand which requires everyone to do something. This year it's our turn to host the masquerade ball out of the three kingdoms. It is in a week's time and really, time is of the essence from henceforth.
Jimin I'm assigning you to do the invitations because you have to also prepare for the ball from the Park's side as the crown prince of that kingdom.
Namjoon, I'm assigning you to take safety precautions for the major event. Press will be present outside the castle and some may even try to sneak in. Moreover, the safety of the royals coming from each of the kingdoms needs to be ensured. Namjoon this is a serious task and needs you to collaborate with the inner circle of the palace guards trusted by each king.
Taehyung, you are in charge of the ballroom decorations, food, entertainment of the guests. This is also a huge task and you can talk with the chefs and if you need help Seokjin is there for you.
Areum and I need to take care of the accommodations and revising the final alliance script between us and the Jeons. They will be staying here for a week from the day of the ball. Everyone clear of their duty?"
"Who are we Appa? We are the Kims and we are going to throw one hell of the ball!" Seokjin and Jimin chorused, clapping their hands.
Smiles broke out everywhere and the newfound adrenaline surged through their veins.
It was showtime.
Mission: Throw a masquerade ball that no one would be able to forget.
