ALIGNED BY TIME AND HEART

DILEMMAS OF HEART (42)

-' So he has no problem with it? '
- ' Nope...Tae told me he's totally fine with that. '
- ' Well...I have to say...Prince is definitely behaving in a....well... different way. '
- ' Right Hoseok....he was never the type to say all those things along with the acceptance. '
- ' But..I don't know why... something  tells me...they're becoming more than friends. '
-' I know Jin...this is exactly why I advised Taehyung to focus on work... but things turned out differently. What to do? '
- ' More importantly....should we do something? I mean...I'm only his butler, I shouldn’t interfere in this-'
- ' Hoseok! You love him like your own little brother. Obviously you'll think about his future. '

After that night, Taehyung told Namjoon everything the next morning and Namjoon clearly assumed that situations were getting out of control. This is why, that evening he went to the roof with Seokjin and Hoseok to inform them about the whole matter.

- ' But the point is...what can we do? '
- ' I seriously don’t know. This is why I called you guys. I don’t want to be a rude and strict big brother but if we do nothing...things will get more complicated and they'll end up loving each other which will tear them apart after one and half month. '
- ' But will it be fair to come between them? I mean....while we supported Prince Jimin and Yoongi, our Princesses.. then it will be injustice to stop my Prince from loving. '
- ' Right...it will be unfair for Taehyung too. Namjoon, you already sort of told him to stay away of it and he tried too... but things ended differently. '
- ' Namjoon, Your Highness...this is what I'm trying to say. We are no-one to stop love. If something is meant to be, then it will happened no matter how many times we try to block it's path. Besides, they're young but still grown up mens. We should leave this for them to decide. It's their lives after-all. '

Namjoon went silent and Jin just nodded slightly. Hoseok felt the growing tension in the atmosphere, so he took his leave afterwards.

Now it was only the two eldests from two eras, sitting silently on the roof terrace, staring at the now approaching night.

- ' Jin? '
- ' Yes?'
- ' You think I'm being rude and rigid  right? '
- ' Why would I think that suddenly? '
- ' With all of this situations...the way I handled it....you must be thinking that...  I'm a worthless brother. '

Seokjin smiled and shook his head gently, then looked at the scientist besides him.
- ' I know why you did it Joon. I'm not judging your decisions. '

Namjoon stared at the prince blankly and reading his expression, Seokjin said again
- ' I get it Joon. You don’t want your brothers to be heartbroken. You did it to protect them from misery. You...'
Seokjin paused , then said again
- ' You don’t want them to face the same pain you've been through...and still bearing. You know this scar can never be totally faded away. I know Namjoon.... I'm not thinking anything about what you said. I just realized that you're a protecting and caring brother who loves his brothers. '

Namjoon kept looking at the prince in awe. He never thought Seokjin would feel him like this and could see from his point of view. In such a short time period, this human is constantly sweeping him off his feet without even trying.

- ' Namjoon? '
Seokjin's voice dragged him back to reality and he realized that he has been gaping at the other for more than a few minutes and immediately his cheeks turned red .
- ' I..uh... I'm...sorry...I...didn’t mean to-'
Seokjin started laughing at the stammering and blushing man and Namjoon's embarrassment just increased.
- ' Namjoonah....why are you so adorable  sometimes? '
The prince ruffled the soft hair of Namjoon and he looked down.

But suddenly, Seokjin's compliment snatched  his heart away forever.

- ' If you liked girls and I was a girl, I would totally fall for you Mister..you're just that good! '

Seokjin smiled at him with bright eyes and Namjoon practically saw the reflection of the moon in his beautiful deep eyes.

Namjoon realized that inside out,  this prince is the most beautiful human he has ever laid his eyes on.

As the elders decided to stay out of the matter, the whole thing is depended on the youngers.

And here, what will happen next between the eldest prince and the scientist? Will things take a different turn, or will they remain same as before?
