That night Jungkook didn't sleep well

That night Jungkook didn't sleep well. The sad yet bold face of the Silla prince was continously kept running inside his head. After midnight, he slightly got in his slumber, but woke up due to horrid dreams.

Silla Prince was burried in ground until the neck. A big furious elephant was running towards him. Next minute, the elephant will step its pillar like leg on the prince's head. Jungkook screamed in horror and ran towards the elephant and stood infront of the elephant to divert it. But, the elephant lift Jungkook and made him sit on its back and kept running towards the prince. Jungkook looked at the prince and saw how he was smirking at him. When the elephant got so much closer again Jungkook screamed but got up gasping for air.
When he looked around it was still night and he was in his chamber. Just then he realised it was a dream.

He kept shaking because of the realistic nightmare. After some time he again drifted to dreamland.  This time, he saw even more terrifying dream.

Gallows were were standing. Soldiers brought the Silla prince and made him stand in fornt a Gallow. Jungkook ran there. He started to cry and pray that all the Gallows to burn. He felt like god really heard his prayer. All of a sudden, the gallows started to burn. He was so happy that now Jimin was safe. But  alas, 12 soldiers were pointing their spears towards Jimin. Next second, all the 12 spears were stabbing Jimin's smooth honet like golden skin. Once again Jungkook screamed and woke up from dream.

Now he didn't even try to sleep fearing that he will see those horrifying dreams again. He is happy that, under Hoseok's reign there is no such cruel punishments were given to the delinquent.

Somehow the night passed and the morning came. Now its time for Hoseok to get ready for the royal court. Jungkook was so eager to speak about the silla prince with his father. But, it became impossible as Hoseok was surrounded by the soldiers and officials. Jungkook couldn't control his urge to remind his dad about Jimin. So he shouted, "Dad! Please remember what I said." Hoseok turned and said, "What are you saying Kookie? Ooo! About Prinve Jimin? Sure! I will punish him as he deserve! Don't worry dear!" And went out.

Jungkook couldn't control his anger amd sorrow. He ran to his chamber and laid on his bed. He felt overwhelmed and started to sob. He kept saying that, because of him that handsome prince is going to face severe punishment. The thought of Jimin knowing that he(Jungkook) is responsible for his(Jimin's) punishment and the hate he will see in those grey eyes made him wail more loudly.

Jungkook thought that he should do something. He soon called the palace administrator. "Mr.Lee! Today in royal court, king will hear the case about Silla Prince and his revolt. As soon as the hearing ends, I should be informed about the details of the judgement. Ok?" Jungkook said. Mr.Lee nodded his head and sent a soldier to collect the information from royal court.

Jungkook didn't do his usual works. He didn't even go for meditation. He kept waiting for the result of the case.

Soon, the soldier came with the result. He said, "Prince, King showed so much concern to Prince Jimin. He said, 'If you accept my reign, I will make you the King of Silla but you will remain under my control. Plus, I will forgive you and resend you to your kingdom without any punishment.' But Prince Jimin refused the offer. He even called King Hoseok for fight. So, King decided not to give death penalty. But he was sequesterd (that means he is sent out of the country as punishment) King also said that, if Prince Jimin return to Silla, he will beheaded. Prince Jimin was taken to the port to send him to a far unknown island. So he is now on his way to the harbour in Hope city."

Jungkook felt relieved at first when heard that Jimin is not given death sentence. But at the next moment when he heard that, he is sent to some far land, made his world crash down. He felt like he is drowning in an river knowing that he can never see Jimin after this. He had this urge to see the Silla prince atleast for once before the end. His heart secretly hoped that if he speak to the punished prince he can change his mind. Maybe the Prince will accept his father's reign. Maybe the prince will be forgiven so he can stay here itself.

After all these confusing thoughts, Jungkook heart yearned for his father. But he felt dejected when the officials said that Hoseok went out of the palace right after the court ended. After thinking a little while, Jungkook again called the palace administrator. "Mr.Lee, I need to visit the harbour in Hope city. I lost my mother's necklace there when we visited the office. I need to find it by myself. So make everything ready for my visit." Jungkook ordered him.

Mr.Lee hesitated a little thinking about the safety of the Prince. He said, "My Prince, I suggest that you can go once Emperor came back" but he stood astonished when he saw how Jungkook got so much angry.

Never ever he expected the sweet and child like Jungkook to become angry. He felt skeptic about the prince's visit to Hope city by himself. But he just brushed it off and immediately made all the arrangements not wanting to make the bunny prince angry. In no time, Jungkook was in his carriage and was heading towards Hope city. He kept saying the carriers to make it fast. Finnaly, he made it to the port. But hey, fate is a bitch. He saw the ship in which Jimin is present was all ready to leave.

What Jungkook saw infront of his eyes made his heart shattered into billions. The ship which had Lion and Bunny flag on was sailing into the sea. The young prince he saw yesterday in the street was standing there facing the shore with his chain binded hands together. He is not looking at Jungkook but somewhere else on the shore. Curious to know who the Silla prince is looking with this so much respect, Jungkook looked to his side to see the reason. He saw a monk with long white beard, who is standing with his raised hands like he is blessing Jimin.

Once again, Jungkook looked towards Jimin. His heart literally stopped when he saw Jimin seeing him. Their eyes met. "Is this a dream? Am I hallucinating things?" Jungkook asked himself. Before he can even calm his heart, Jimin diverted his eyes back to the monk.

And exactly that's when Jungkook remembered the important thing. 'Didn't dad said that, Silla Prince was badly influenced by a monk and encouraged the prince to revolt?' As the realisation hit, he ordered his soldiers to catch that bastard monk, so he can prove the innocence of Jimin. 

But he couldn't catch the monk as he disappeared in the crowd of people. Meantime, the ship where Jimin is disappeared in the horizon.
