Third Person's POV
There is something so very evil in the beige sort of uncaring about the king of Sankori. His subjects are free to starve and drown in the filth of the streets, free to meet their end in some freezing field with cold steel run through their intestines, so long as he has his royalties fine foods and his throne.
His throne is the most important and mandatory for him to live because he himself is aware that the minute he would pass the throne to the prince or anyone else, if not the prince he isn't gonna live.
This is the king's only fear.
The reason was his thoughts about the kingdom as well as his deeds. A sneak-peak of his thoughts? A recent conversation of the king with his general, his right-hand one can say,
'Slaves are costing too much these days. The day wages are atrocious. It is time for a crisis. Put the poor into distress, let them be grateful for any slice of bread no matter how small or dry, and let them drag down the middle classes. Once they're fighting it out at the bottom for survival their prices will go down. And, here we'll be, the beloved royal family, sitting pretty at the top, being every so gracious'
That is why he wants Taehyung out of his life. He is greedy too greedy for his own good as Jungkook had said.
Jungkook, it has been quite a while since the conversation he and Taehyung had, had. Hard to believe or comprehend but Jungkook ran away after hearing Taehyung and he has been avoiding Taehyung since then which is almost two weeks by now.
Taehyung was trying to cross paths with Jungkook but he stopped as he knew it would be no use as the latter clearly didn't want to see him. Although, when he was talking to Jimin about it the aforementioned had only replied with,
"In denial"
Taehyung was confused of course but he let it go for the time being. As long as Jungkook was in Sankori Taehyung would come across him and Jungkook can't ignore him all the while he is gonna be here.
On the other hand, Jungkook was really in denial of his feelings towards Taehyung.
Sometimes his memories with Taehyung makes sad, those late night talks. Taehyung was nothing but fiercely loyal and overprotective, like Jungkook needed in a partner.
He tried to stop thinking about him but it was as if his mind wasn't in his control. The wish for Taehyung to be here fills Jungkook with such sweetness and softness that he thinks he will explode. There’s part of Jungkook that still is neither ready to accept nor believe. Even if it was nothing out of ordinary of two prince from different kingdoms to be in love yet Jungkook isn't accepting.
He is scared, scared that he will be left alone. Scared that he would get hurt. Scared that he will love Taehyung more than he can afford.
That is why now that when he finally crossed path with Taehyung. He was ready to walk away and run away from him once again but Taehyung wasn't having it.
The time was ticking, they both knew. Jungkook will be gone in no time now.
So the first thing Taehyung did was held Jungkook's wrist in a tight grip stopping him from escaping once again. Jungkook's heart was racing dementedly, he thought even Taehyung could have could the sound of his stupid heart.
"Why are you running away?" Taehyung asked as Jungkook had his back facing him.
Jungkook didn't say anything, nothing.
"Am I that bad?" Jungkook was sure he heard the thousand unsaid insecurities in Taehyung's voice and that made him turn around and face him.
"It's not you who is had" The younger of them mumbled.
"Then what is it?" Taehyung questioned.
"It's- it's" Jungkook tried but it was no use.
"I am just scared, okay" Jungkook snapped after he looked at Taehyung's confused expression that made his heart stop for a minute, hence the outburst.
"I am scared, I am scared, I am scared" He whispered, repeatedly.
Taehyung stepped closer still having a grip on the younger's wrist. The back of his hand came in contact with Jungkook's cherubic cheek and Jungkook stopped hard himself from leaning in the touch. That touch from Taehyung made him shiver in his thoughts.
He can't do this, he can't, he can't-
"I don't love you" Jungkook mumbled and closed his eyes as his head ducked down.
That hurt-
Taehyung won't lie but those words were brutally hammering his heart but then he heard the harsh breath Jungkook intakes.
The air around them was bittersweet.
"But I love you and I know you are lying" Taehyung mumbled.
Taehyung held Jungkook's chin so gently that clenched Jungkook's heart. Taehyung was too cautious with him as if one harsh touch and he would vanish into thin air.
"I-I don't" Jungkook mumbled and Taehyung just smiled.
He left Jungkook's wrist and backed away. Jungkook looked up at him and Taehyung was smiling ever so widely. Jungkook took a deep breath as Taehyung turned around with a wink and walked away. ___________________________________ See you all in the next chapter.
