As soon as the monk got down from the boat, Queen Jin bowed to him and paid his respect. When he looked up, his eyes started to well up with tears.

"Sir! Where is Jimin?" He asked the monk with so much sadness and worry lacing in his voice. That brought a shiver down the monk's spine. Yoongi's eyes also teared seeing their Queen wailing silently.

"Jin? What is this? What did your love of life said to you? Did you forget his last words that he said you to be a brave mother for Jimin? How can you lose your courage like this? Come. First lets go to the palace and we can speak calmly." The monk said.

They made their way to the spring palace through a mango orchard. Once upon a time, this palace was filled with many happy laughters and chatters. But now it is standing like a dark mysterious building. The servants in the palace also looked like they lost their world. Gloomy and Grim.

The monk sat on the silk cover spread over the floor. Jin and Yoongi sat near him respectivly.

"Dear, you should not let your heart worried....." as Monk started to speak, Jin cutted him off.

"Sir! You are saying to not let my heart worry? I have already made my heart cold like ice. My heart is not worrying sir. But my body is yearning for my baby. This stomach carried Jimin for 10 months. Now thinking about his situation, my stomach twists in a weird manner. What can I do? Sir, you promised me that you will save Jimin right ? Did you fulfill it?" Jin asked him with tears now flowing down freely.

"Ofcourse dear, I did what i promised. I promised you that I will save Jimin's life. I promised to Namjoon that I will help him grow into a brave young man. And now, I fulfilled both the promises. Dear, I'm sure that you would have got all gossebumps if you have seen how brave Jimin was infront of Emperor Hoseok. Like said in Thirukural (remember the book that najoom kept with the ancient sword? He even showed it to Jin before leaving for the war?), I quote,

When mother hears him named 'fulfill'd of wisdom's lore,'
Far greater joy she feels, than when her son she bore

Will this go wrong in your life? Emperor said so many concern words to Jimin. Emperor Hoseok even said, 'If you ask my forgiveness for revolting against me, then I will let you go without punishment and I will even make you the King under my control.' But Jimin didn't even budge for the offer. He boldly called Emperor Hoseok for sword fight. You should have seen how his eyes showed fierce. I'm too lucky to saw this by my own eyes. Poor you! Couldn't see that wonderful brave moment." Monk said with pure concern.

Jin who heard everything curiously with his wide eyes said, "Yes sir! I'm unlucky. What is there to doubt about it? I lost my love in the war, I lost my son and I don't even know where he is after getting sequesterd. It feels so wrong to live after everything happening. Sir is that true that Emperor Hoseok is coming to Seoul? If i see him, I'm going to beg on my knees to send me to my son aswell." Jin said.

"What are you saying dear? How can you think to beg in fornt of your beloved's eternal enemy? Do you think Namjoon who is now in Heroic paradise will be happy seeing this? Think about it dear" though monk felt a little disappointed, he tried to make Jin think rationally.

"Yeah! He wont be happy. I'm not going to beg to Emperor Hoseok. I just said it due to my emotional turmoil. *sigh* How many dreams my husband saw! He dreamt to built a strong empire from silla to Himalayas. But look now, his beloved son don't even have place on this country." Jin said his eyes again glistening with tears.

"Namjoon built another on dream! Don't you remember how he wanted to travel over the seas and capture many kingdom? He painted about it in the Secret art gallery. Remember?" Monk asked him with a smile.

"Why does his dreamt have to be fulfilled in this way? Did Jimin go to capture the land over the sea? No, he was sent as a punished lad. Where he is? What is he doing in the unknown land? How much he is struggling to eat food? Please don't try to feel me with these sugar coated words sir!" Jin said getting emotional.

"I won't try to fool you dear. What will I get by playing mind games with you? I believe your son will get everything he needs. Many have been sent as prisoners like this before. What I am saying is, all these things will end well sooner. They will tame him. He will return here sooner....." monk said but got cutted off here by Jin.

"Omg! NO! Emperor ordered that he will behead Jimin if he returns here right? I just hope he is ok wherever he is! Its enough for me!" Jin said with his shaky voice.

"But he can't be staying where ever he is permanently. One day, he will come here yearning for his mother's love and his mother country's love. Now, not only these two love will pull him here. There is a new strong bond which will forcefully drag him here." Monk said and his eyes twinkled with mischievous and his lips had a undefined smile. Neither Jin nor Yoongi noticed this.

"What are you saying sir?" Both Jin and Yoongi asked at the same time with confusion written all over their face.

"Yes! More than mother and native's love, there is a big force which will drag him here again.  That is the power of a young man's green eyes. Maybe I'm a monk, but I know the effects of love." Monk said.

"Sir? What are you saying? What is there to deal with love and my Jimin?" Jin asked with a surpise.

Monk smiled at him lovingly and said,

"Every mother think about their son as a child. When the reality hit them, they can't bear it. So I'm saying this before hand to you. Be prepared for that day. Dear, Your son Jimin saw a young child on the streets of Hope city on his way to Gwangju palace. He was binded with chains at that time. The young man fell in love at the first sight of Jimin. This news is conformed because I heard it with my own ears. But you know what is more surprising? When the ship in which Jimin is started to move into the sea, I saw the same Young man came rushing to the port. Their eyes met once again. I'm sure that Jimin can never forget those beautiful doe eyes that is shinning with love and innocence. No matter what, if it is night or day, if he is sleeping or  just staring outside, those eyes will haunt his mind. He will return back to this land, to see those eyes again!"

Jin who kept listening to all these with wide eyes asked, "My god! I only have my son now. And who is this kid trying to snatch him away from me?". He questioned the monk not knowing the atom bomb that is going to be dropped in his heart.

"Jeon Jungkook. Son of Emperor Hoseok." The monk said with a smile.

"Aaaah...... is he the son of my love's eternal enemy? Sir! Im feeling weird!" Jin said and clutched his head. Soon darkness surrounded his mind and fell on the ground unconscious.
