Third Person's POV

In the daylight his mood was as brilliant as those sunny rays and his soul took on a lightness, a will to float and play upon the clouds yet not for long as Yeonjun and Beomgyu knocked on his door this morning, reminding him of their schedule for the day.

The Tour to Sankori.

Although Yesterday night's events were not forgotten by Jungkook. He won't forget the rudeness of Taehyung. Now, to Jungkook Taehyung has been labelled as arrogant.

Can't blame him, can you. Well, can't blame either of them.

An hour or so later, here they were. In the giant dining room for breakfast, it was peaceful yet Jungkook always caught Taehyung looking at him just like now. Jungkook wanted to take a subtle glance at the aforementioned for unknown reasons but when he looked up he saw Taehyung already looking at him and this time neither of them averted their gaze.

'I'm better than you. I am. Don't look at me like that, like you think you can even try. I could beat you in my sleep, in fact, I think I did last night, twice. In my head'

If anyone would have been able to hear Jungkook's thoughts he would be crying because of the amount he would have laughed. Luckily, no one could read his thoughts.

Jungkook was the first one to avert his gaze and focused on the breakfast the rest of the time, he could still feel Taehyung's gaze on him throughout though.

The castle was bold on the blue beyond. The castle walls are the strongest thing for miles around, yet when Jungkook looks carefully, he notices the stones. It is built of stones of varying sizes and shapes, each one unique. From a distance it is uniform grey, from up close it is a mosaic of humble rocks, each of them nobody would think anything of were they loose by the roadside.

But together they are a castle, the crown of the landscape and protector of ancient peoples.

Protector?

Nope, not the king of Sankori. For sure!

Jungkook scoffed at his own thoughts because it wasn't an unknown fact that the king of Sankori was nothing but evil and inhuman.

The king of this dominion is a kind and intelligent soul who loves this place from the earth to the skies and every part of creation within, all creatures great and small. Jungkook's elder brother is a fit for the dad but Taehyung's father, nope.

"You feel very intrigued with the stones" Taehyung said as he stood beside Jungkook.

"And why does that concern you?" Jungkook mumbled.

"It is my castle so it does concern me, Prince Jeon" Taehyung looked at the younger.

"Were of you always this arrogant? Just like your father" Jungkook looked Taehyung straight in the eyes.

He noticed Taehyung's eyes wavering at his words. Did he went too far? Was he wrong to bring up his father?

Yes he was.

But can't blame Jungkook he doesn't know anything about Taehyung so how was he supposed to know.

"I didn't want to be come out as an arrogant being yesterday. I apologize!" Taehyung said with sense of guilt in his voice but Jungkook far away from acknowledging it.

"It's not the wanting that makes this so arrogant, it's the sense of entitlement" Jungkook scoffed.

"Nope, I'm not entitled. Everyone is free to do what they want. But I can be honest about my feelings and I am entitled to those emotions. All I'm doing is communicating. And you are wrong to make me feel this way, perhaps it is you who is so arrogant as to demand I justify being so very human?" Taehyung said calmly.

"Oh ho! Very human? We did away with that long ago! We have our academics and respected thinkers 'in residence' so to speak. If they wish to serve the nation for the rest of their lives they give us their wisdom freely and in return they have one of the 'idea village' cottages for life. We feed them and such. They live in comfortable modesty, free to think, to do research, to write whatever they please. Usually we recruit them in middle age, some younger, some older at times. It's the inverted triangle model, service and love as our greatest good. Tell me, Taehyung, when you take the position of the king, what will you do?" The younger spat not knowing how he stabbed the already wounded heart of Taehyung with his words.

Jungkook didn't wait for the answer as he walked away. Yeonjun and Beomgyu bowed to the Sankoris and followed Jungkook.

"Tae" Jimin called out.

Taehyung looked at him and shook his head as he stormed out as well, leaving his hyungs worried.
