Flashback 1.0

"How are you feeling, Crown Prince?" Yoongi asked Jungkook who was resting on his bed. Prince Jimin just went out of the chamber after making sure that Jungkook has no injuries from falling. Although he had his doubts about the sudden disappearance of Jungkook's injuries as this was not possible to not have any injuries after falling from that much height, Jimin had some idea about it. He might have known who healed Jungkook.

"I'm feeling fine, hyung. Have you heard any news about His Majesty?" Jungkook asked, laying on his bed.

"His Majesty just jumped out of the window in front of your eyes and you start missing your mate already?" Yoongi teased, with a beautiful happy smile on his face.

Jungkook averted his eyes, staring at the edges of that window. Today, he watched a new behaviour of his Alpha where his Alpha protected him, stood for him and punished his mother. The tree of hope was now blooming in branches inside of him.

"It's….. It's not like that." Jungkook replied. But the way his eyes went down in shyness and lips stretched in a small smile, Yoongi understood it.

"I wonder… What was it then." Yoongi wasn't having enough of his teasing.

"Hyung...please." Jungkook raised his eyes and pleaded.

"No, but seriously Crown Prince, I had heard that His Majesty never forgives the sinners but today…  Today I watched their cruelty with my eyes. You won't believe it, but my wolf didn't even raise his head when His Majesty was talking." Yoongi finished.

And Jungkook didn't know what this was. This giddy feeling? The way his chest hypothetically expanded in proudness and cheeks became redder.

After contemplating for some time Jungkook finally replied, "Sorry hyung, your wolf must have been anxious all along." 

"He was anxious until…" Yoongi stopped in the middle and turned his head toward the open window.

Jungkook looked at the said beta in confusion because if he was not wrong he just saw some redness over Yoongi's features.

"Until?"

"Umm. Until… Please don't take it another way." Yoongi seemed hesitant but Jungkook nodded nonetheless.

"My wolf went calm when he sniffed the Royal Prince's peaceful cologne. It was faint but Suga sniffed it when the Royal Prince saved us from His Majesty's wrath. That cologne seemed like lavender, like a little flower that still hasn't bloomed to the fullest."

Jungkook smiled at the blushing male," what can I say? Lavender is indeed the most calming odour." The teasing edges of the sentence made Yoongi look at him in a playful warning.

"I suggest you should take a rest, Crown Prince." Yoongi scoffed lightly and Jungkook just sighed in content.  

"Yeah. I thought so too." 

A smirk widened on Yoongi's face when he saw Jungkook closing his eyes in tiredness. 

"Then you should do it until you can. I don't think the Royal Majesty will let you rest after the courting ceremony." Yoongi laughed when a flying cushion landed on his face.

Jungkook went deeper in his duvet while hiding himself from the utter embarrassment. He peeked a little outside and sighed when Yoongi was already out of his chamber.
