ALIGNED BY TIME AND HEART

TRUE FEELINGS AND LOVE (44)

- ' Hyung? '
- ' Hmm? '
- ' Don't you think something is wrong in this house? '
Yoongi looked down at the prince who was laying on his lap and he got up
- ' I mean...not everyone, but some of them looks like..they're not in their usual selves. '
- ' Who? Say it clearly Jimin. '
- ' 5 person to be precise. Tae, Jungkook, Jennie noona, Lisa noona and Namjoon hyung. '
- ' And what is wrong with them? '
- ' Uh...they look like....they're thinking something...kind of stressed maybe. Something is not okay with them. '
- ' Maybe they're sad because the day of our departure is coming closer. Only one more month left. '
Jimin nodded but immediately said
- ' Possible. But only that? I mean..yeah I am sad too....here we were so happy and free together and everyone became friends. But do I look gloomy everytime?'
Yoongi cupped Jimin's face with both of his hands and said
- ' Don't  try to look gloomy for even a while. I can't stand that. Only smile suits you, okay? '
Jimin slightly blushed and smiled
- ' Yeah...noted. But the point is...why they're like this?
- ' No idea. You know me...I'm really very bad at dealing with emotions and feelings. '
Jimin frowned
- ' Then who'll tell me about them? '
- ' Try reaching to their closest ones. Like...for Lisa, you can go to your Noona. Prince Seokjin has a great bond with Namjoon. Hoseok is Prince Jeon's butler...he will be able to tell about him.'
Jimin's face immediately brightened up
- ' Great idea hyung! I should totally do this. Maybe they'll be able to help. I should start from Hoseok hyung... I really need to know what is wrong with Jungkook. '

- ' Hoseok hyung? '
Jimin knocked on the door of his room ( Yeah, after confessing to his butler, he exchanged his room with Hoseok so that he can live with his love!) 
The door opened, revealing a smiling Hoseok
- ' Ah, my favourite Prince on my door! What can I do for you? '
Jimin laughed a little
- ' Favourite Prince huh? Does Jungkook know? '
Hoseok shooted his brightest smile
- ' Well...I hope you'll definitely not convey this to him. '
Jimin smilingly said
- ' Only if you answer my questions properly. Promise? '
- ' I truly believe that you'll not ask something that is impossible to tell. Promise Prince. '
- ' Thanks hyung. Now, may I come in?'
- ' You definitely need not to ask for permission. Please come in. '

As they sat down on the bed, Jimin observed Hoseok for a bit, then said
- ' Hyung...I don’t like to beat around the bush, so I'm straight  coming to the point. '
Hoseok nodded in agreement
- ' What is wrong with Jungkook nowadays? At first, he became  really happy and smiling...but something is not right now. He's becoming that old Jungkook again who doesn’t share any of his problems...who's less talkative and way more serious. I want to know what caused this change? He'll never tell me if I ask him. That's why I came to you. Tell me hyung...what's the matter? '

Hoseok's face immediately became serious
- ' I'm very sorry Prince...but I shouldn’t comment on this topic. You can ask your friend yourself. '
Jimin said in an equal serious tone
- ' Sure I can, but will that sort out things? Do you really think he'll tell me anything that easily! It's Jungkook... Jeon Jungkook we're talking about, the boy who never said a word against his will since childhood. Besides, you promised me hyung. You have to tell... you're a man of your words after-all. '

Hoseok sighed and looked at the prince
- ' Then you have to promise that you-'
- ' You have my words hyung. I'll not tell this to Jungkook. '
- ' Not only Jungkook....you'll not tell this to Taehyung also. '
Jimin's eyebrows furrowed in the mention of his other friend
- ' Tae? What he has to do with this? '
- ' Well...he's...connected...he's playing a major part in this issue. '
Jimin couldn’t understand anything but nodded
- ' Alright then....I'll not tell him too. Now please? '

Hoseok nodded and narrated everything , from Jungkook's conversation with Taehyung few days ago to Namjoon's meeting with him and Seokjin... and as he went on, Jimin's face became more stern.

- ' And all these happened in this last 15 days?! '
- ' Well...yes. '
- ' Why none of them said anything to me? '
- 'You know my Prince...he was never that kind. '
- ' But Tae? '
- ' He's in utter confusion I think. He's a riddle to himself...that's why maybe.'

Jimin went silent and after a few moments, he spoke up
- ' Maybe they don't know what it is...but  you understood it, right hyung? '
Hoseok nodded quietly .
- ' So did I. It's a definite thing... I've been through all of this....I know how it feels. It's nothing but love hyung...it's obviously love..and I'll not just sit and watch them suffer like that. When I was going through that phase, they helped me and supported me. This is my turn now...no matter what, they have to realize their feelings for each others. I'll help them to do so. '

As the Park Prince is determined to help his friends, will this affect the relation between Jungkook and Taehyung? Will they feel love?
