ALIGNED BY TIME AND HEART

15 DAYS MORE (51)

- ' Looks like we're the only ones who didn’t find love here, huh! '
Jin said with a smile, but Hoseok clearly felt the missing of happiness in his voice. Instead, a different kind of agony ringed in the Prince's voice which was difficult to decipher.
- ' Yeah...but I'm happy for them. They're so happy together. Almost everyone is happy even in this time. We'll leave after-all. '
- ' Almost? Why not all? '
Hoseok sighed
- ' Apart from us, there is one more person who's not happy about the whole thing. '
- ' Who? '
Hoseok looked straight into the Prince's eyes, searching for the answer
- ' You know it Your Highness. '
In a moment Jin understood where the butler was pointing and looked down while whispering
- ' Namjoon...'
Hoseok nodded
- ' Yes...that man. He's totally not fine about your leaving. '
- ' My leaving? '
- ' Yes Your Highness. You promised him, remember? '

The day in the forest came back infront of his eyes as their conversation echoed through Jin's mind

- ''I just don’t want to give up on you. Please...give me a chance to be a good friend? I promise I will try my best. "
- '' You're already more than enough Seokjin. No need to do anything else. I...I will let you do whatever you want . I'll not stop you. Sorry...sorry for misbehaving. I was afraid...but...not anymore. You'll be my bestfriend. Okay?"

His heart submerged more in pain, if that was even possible . He looked away at the night-city, from his window and said in the same whispering tone
- ' I promised to be his friend... I promised to be with him...I promised him...'
Jin turned to face Hoseok and he was shocked to see the face of the Prince
- ' How can I be so irresponsible Hoseok? What kind of crowned prince I am....who couldn’t even keep his words?  I.. I always knew I have to leave. Then why...why I did all that? He'll be broken again. I...I broke his heart again. What is the difference between me and Antonio? He also left him... I'm also leaving...this..this is seriously not right. I don’t have the right to break his heart like that .. I can't be so villainous. I- '
- ' Jin! Stop right there or I'm not going to talk to you ever. '
Both of the royals looked back and found  Namjoon on the door, looking devastated.
- ' Joon? '
Namjoon didn’t answer and straight came to Jin, sitting down on the bed besides him
- ' Have you lost your mind Jin? What was that you're talking about huh? You...you did what? '
Jin looked down, losing the power to keep looking into Namjoon's eyes
- ' I....I don't know if this is even acceptable or not...but...I'm..I'm sorry Joon...sorry for everything I did. '
- ' And exactly why you're sorry? '
- ' I..I..broke your heart... '
- ' What the hell! Like...seriously? YOU broke my heart? When? How? '
- ' I'm leaving after a few days. But.... I promised you- '
- ' Jin please! You've never promised me that you'll be with me every time. You promised to be my friend, you promised to support me, you promised to  be the one I can show my true self....and even when you'll be away from me, you'll still be that. We'll be the same as before Jin. And...please don’t say such things about yourself. You don’t even realize what your are to me. '
Jin stared blankly at the scientist but only true emotions flowing from Namjoon's eyes touched his soul. Hoseok looked between the two male, staring at each other and realized it's his  time to leave.

He got up and reached the door, and when he turned around, he saw a broken  Prince, embracing the scientist as if he's his everything, and Namjoon was whispering into his ears in a barely audible voice
- 'Shh....calm down. You did nothing wrong. You're like a blessing to me... I'm so much thankful for your existence. Thanks for being my friend Jin. And no matter wherever you are, you'll always remain closer to my heart. You're not a heartbreaker...you're the reason my heart repaired. Don’t you dare to say such things about a person so precious to me. Okay? '
Jin buried his face more into Namjoon's  chest and nodded lightly while holding him tightly, and Namjoon patted his head....

....but before going out, Hoseok didn’t miss the slipping out teardrop from Namjoon's eyes even when he was smiling.

Something is there between the Kims....

But what?

Will they realize their heart before it's too late?
