The Emperor's King

Chapter five

~Time skip evening~

At Seoul

The whole palace of the park empire was busy planning for the ball as they had gotten a sudden notice from them Emperor, lucky for the maids and the butlers the Emperor doesn't overwork them and lets them do what they can do by their best.

It was about time everything was done and guests started to come in.

Jungkook stepped out of his carriage and inhaled deeply, just as he was about to go up in the palace, he saw a man in the corner of his eye.

The man was so bewitchingly handsome and attractive, Jungkook noticed how the male was greeting the guests so politely and also noticed that he was shorter than him but his aura was so dominating it made Jungkook's whole body shiver up in a most amazing way possible. He's breath caught in his throat as he saw the very man in front of him, too close to him, if Jungkook leaned a bit forward he would feel the other's breath on his skin. The very man standing in front of him offered a hand for him to shake.

Jungkook subconsciously shook the man's hand and finally let out his breath and regained his consciousness after the other stepped back. The distance between them felt too much for Jungkook after the closeness which made a whine bubble up in Jungkook's throat but he liked breathing air so he subsided it.

"Hello there.", The simple words were enough to make Jungkook's cheeks heat up and made him gulp before replying, "H-hello there, who are you?"

The question made an endearing eye smile appear upon the lips of the other and he spoke softly, "Let's talk our way in the palace shall we?", The other offered at which Jungkook simply nodded.

"So, my name is Park Jimin.", Jimin said looking at Jungkook who's eyes widened, "T-The prince!", The younger prince gasped as another endearing eye smile crept upon the older prince's lips.

So this is who Park Jimin was, the man everyone either wanted to be or wanted, the man who was good at wielding every weapon, 'oh Jimin..', the more Jungkook thought about the name the more he felt unconnected to it but oh so connected as well.

It felt like a voice in his heard was saying 'Jungkook you can do this!', but Jungkook didn't understand it one bit.

Jungkook didn't even realise he was out of the palace through the back entrance and in the royal gardens, with Jimin all alone...

A small gasp escaped his lips as he felt the older hold his hand. "May i have this dance, my prince?", Jungkook remembered what his father had taught him "Men doing romantic gestures together is a sin.", But the so called teaching was thrown out of the window of his mind, because how could be decline to dance with a man so attractive, who was he to do that?

"I-i'll your highness.", The grip on his hand tightened a bit as they walked in the bit more private area of the garden, everything happened so quickly Jungkook didn't even realise he was resting his forehead on the older and swaying with him to the dim music coming from the palace ball room, Jungkook being the taller of the two is was a bit uncomfortable but it felt so right.

"I missed you Jungkook.. so much..", Jungkook's eyebrows frowned in confusion as he looked up at Jimin. "Missed me? Have we met before?", Hearing so made Jimin a bit sad but he remembered that what had happened after.

"Let us sit down on the bench and maybe try to make you remember it?", Jungkook wordlessly nodded as they sat down on the bench near by facing each other.

"Jungkook are you sure you don't remember me?", The question made weird thought flood into Jungkook's mind as he started to feel light headed.

Not being able to support himself his forehead fell against Jimin, making him emit out a sound akin to a gasp.

"I don't understand what's happening Jimin... You feel so unknown yet so close to me i don't know what's happening..", the younger said grabbing onto Jimin's shoulder.

Jungkook didn't even realise how close he was to the older on the other hand Jimin just froze in place, even a lightest nudge would make their lips collide, that's how close they were.

Finally throwing out every shame Jungkook had in himself, he kissed Jimin, he did it. Jimin didn't expect this to happen, the person who's name was engraved in his heart kissed him.

The kiss was too slow for both of their liking, but they both were surprised and nervous about what was happening so they let it be. Jimin's hands comfortably rested on Jungkook's hips , as Jungkook's wrapped around Jimin's back trying to be as close as possible to him.

The slow kiss was, soft, sweet, intoxicating, lips coax against one another, two pieces of a puzzle merging together beautifully. Jimin and Jungkook drove insane feeling each other's lips on their own melting into the tender kiss. It felt like a dream, the most beautiful dream.

They pulled away from the kiss and air filled up their lungs again, heavy breaths and panting started to fill up the small portion of the royal gardens.

Jimin brought his hand up and cupped Jungkook's cheek while admiring his beautiful features. Brown eyes that contained the galaxy in them,the small scar on his cheek and one on his jaw, his lips all puffy and red from the kiss and the small mole underneath the bottom one, it took Jimin everything for not to lean back in and peck it. Anything about Jungkook didn't seem real, even his flaws made him ethereal.

"Jungkook you-", Jimin's murmur got cut off by Jungkook letting out a sob, "J-jimin hyung?", Tears had started to stream down Jungkook's rosy cheeks as a ragged breath escaped his puffy lips, he tried his best to stop his tears but alas he didn't succeed.

Jimin quickly kissed away the tears from Jungkook's face and pulled Jungkook to his chest and hugged him, "Oh my darling.. you remember me! Finally, the spell broke..", Jimin blabbered on and Jungkook understood nothing, "What do you mean Hyung?", Jungkook said making Jimin sigh, "You had a spell upon you it made you forget about the time we both spent together darling."

"SeokJin, the wizard who used the spell on you because of your father's say visited our empire tell us about what had happened and how to free you from it.."

"What was the cure of it? How did you free me from it? And how come he came here?", The prince asked while resting his head on the other's shoulder.

"I was a true love's kiss love.. our kiss freed us from it, well.. you from it. It's all because of you darling.. because you got the leap of courage and kiss me you're free now from the spell and about how he knew me? He knows everything dear.."

Jimin whispered stroking Jungkook's back. "O-oh hyung." A shaky breath left Jungkook's lips as he hugged Jimin tightly.

They heard footsteps comming their way which made seperate from each other's hold even though they didn't want to.

"Your highness the king of busan wants Jungkook to go back for a meeting.", A guard said and left the area. Jungkook looked at Jimin worried and Jimin just smiled and leaned in to place a peck of Jungkook's lips.

"Fate and destiny will make us meet again, darling but for now good bye..", Jungkook's heart ached to leave Jimin but he had to bid goodbye. Finally after a few seconds of hesitation Jungkook got up and left, leaving behind Jimin with a sad smile, while tears streamed down Jungkook's face itself.

"I love you my beloved, we'll meet soon.", Were the last words Jimin said before going back in the palace.
