ALIGNED BY TIME AND HEART

CLASHES AND COMPLICATIONS OF HEART (14)

- ' Jimin...this walls are much shorter than our palace boundaries, right? '
- ' Hmm?'

Jungkook shifted his gaze upon the prince besides him and found him lost...not in thoughts, into his butler. Yoongi was sitting on one of the garden chair a bit far from them and polishing his sword..and Jimin was staring at him with fond eyes.

- ' Prince Park....are you going to listen to me or you'll keep gaping at your butler? '
His words dragged Jimin back to reality and he immediately reddened.
- ' Uh...what...I'm..listening..'
- ' I have eyes Jimin..please. '
Jimin sat back and exhaled deeply, eyes again darting back to Yoongi.
- ' Jungkook? '
- ' Yes?'
- ' Why am I doing such lunatic things? I know....this...this is imprudent.. I..can't.. I shouldn’t do this...but why? '
He stopped, then looked at Jungkook, shame and guilt filled his eyes
- ' This is not ethical...it's unjust. I'm a royal....and moreover...he's..he's a guy..I... '
- ' Jimin..calm down. Take a deep breath. '
- ' But Jungkook y-'
- ' Listen to me, okay?'
Jimin just nodded and Jungkook continued
- ' We both are still pretty young...it would be better if we discuss this with elders. '
- ' What should you discuss with elders Jiminie? '

Yeah, it was Taehyung. He gave Jimin a bunch of nicknames..it was one of those. It's been one week since they're here and Jimin became really close to Taehyung....which is just another reason   of Jungkook's grudge against him.

- ' Every single time! I mean....what is your actual problem you peculiar person? '
Jungkook almost groaned at Taehyung and he looked at him with a disgusted look
- ' I am NOT talking with you Rude Prince...I asked this to my friend. '
- ' Oh...friend? YOUR friend? '
- ' You have a problem with that? '
- ' Don't you dare t-'
- ' Stop it . I'm sick of this...what is wrong with you two, huh? You're always arguing..always. Jungkook, don't behave so rudely....and Tae, you're not like this to anyone except him. Enough with this baseless grievance. Give up already. '

Jimin said, clearly done with the situation...so his friends just glared at each others, but didn’t say anything.

- ' But...what were you talking about? '
Taehyung asked Jimin and he looked down at the green grass. Jungkook gave the answer instead
- ' None of your businesses. Stay out of it. '
Taehyung totally ignored Jungkook and asked Jimin again
- ' Is it something you really don’t wanna discuss? '
- ' I...uh..well...Taehyung..the matter is...'
Taehyung never saw him hesitating before. He felt something is really not okay.
- ' Look Chim...if you don’t want to tell then leave the matter. I'm not pressurizing or something. '
- ' At least you have some wit.'
Taehyung looked back at Jungkook and opened his mouth to answer, but was interrupted by Jimin.
- ' Tae...I..I'm stuck in a problem..and I really don’t know what to do. Jungkook was telling me to say this to elders...but I don’t think...that's a good idea...I mean..'
- ' Hey..if it’s a problem, then please share this. Keeping your problems inside your heart is not good at all..it will worsen the situation. '

Jimin glanced at Jungkook who was clearly boiling in anger, then looked at Taehyung who is waiting impatiently.
- ' Uh...I will tell you but..not now. Some  other day maybe? '
Taehyung nodded
- ' Fine...take your time. But you can tell me anything whenever you want. Okay? '
Jimin gave a light smile in return
- ' Bye for now...I need to get back to work. '
Taehyung went inside the house and almost immediately Jungkook also went away. No words of Jimin could stop him.

- ' What's the matter Prince? Another fight between Prince Jeon and Taehyung? '
He turned back and found Yoongi
- ' Yeah...'
He flopped down on a chair and frowned
- ' I don’t understand...what is their problem....'
Yoongi knelt down besides him
- ' They are different yet the same. That is the problem. '
- ' Huh?'
- ' Both are equally adamant, moody and proud. This is why no one is ready to give up this cold war. '
- ' But I hate this. You, Lisa noona, Hoseok hyung were also not happy with the situation...but all of you understood and and gradually accepted everything. Then why they can't do the same hyung?'
- ' Because we're more practical and mature than them. Prince Jungkook has a golden heart deep down his hard shell and Taehyung is a kind gentleman. I believe that one day, things will get better between them. Time and situations are very powerful my prince. '
Jimim sighed and nodded slightly.
- ' Don't be sad Prince....sadness doesn’t suit you. Let's go for a walk around the garden? '
Jimin looked at Yoongi and smiled. This guy never shows but he cares for him the most.
- ' Only if you're telling me that story. '
- ' Which one? '
- ' When father send you to eastern province to lead the battle against Yonun Kingdom. '
- ' You've listened to it for a thousand time.'
- ' I love it..this never gets old. '
Yoongi smilingly shook his head
- ' Okay...let's go. '

Things are still not okay between the Jeon Prince and the scientist... and here, Prince Jimin is stuck in the middle of a storm inside his heart.

What will Jimin do to solve this? And what will Jungkook do after this fight?
