- ' You never listened, but still I'm going to tell you. Don't overwork and take proper rest. Remember you're the eldest  in this house...you have to be okay to make sure your youngers are fine. Okay?'
Namjoon silently nodeed.
- ' Don't work all-night. Get some sleep... that is essential for living. '
Another silent nod.
- ' Don’t skip your meals otherwise you'll get sick. Okay? '
Again, just a silent nod. This time, Jin became tired of this repeated nodding
- ' Namjoonah are you even listening to what I'm saying? Answer me atleast. '
Namjoon kept his silence, not even nodding this time. Jin was getting impatient
- ' Why aren’t you answering? '
Nothing, again.
- ' Are you testing my patience or what? '
When getting no answer, Jin frowned and scooted near the scientist, holding his face up gently. But what he saw made him dumbstruck.

Slow and steady streams of tears were flowing from Namjoon's eyes. His bloodshot eyes indicated that he's been crying for quiet a while. His face looked pale.

Jin's mind stopped working instantly. He never imagined Namjoon would be soo broken again. Before he could react, Namjoon buried his face into his chest... holding him tightly.

After a while, Jin finally gained his conscious and embraced back the quietly sobbing man. He felt Namjoon's heart pounding at a high rate, and his shirt was gradually becoming wet with the constantly flowing tear.

Namjoon said something, but it was not audible. Jin held him more closer
- ' What is it Joon? Say it again...please.'
After a moment of silence, Namjoon whispered with broken voice
- ' I'm sorry....I didn’t want this to happen..atleast not infront of you....but.'
Jin ran his hand through Namjoon's hair slowly
- ' But? '
- ' But...I'm out my mind. I don’t know what I'm doing anymore. I'm....I'm so sorry Jin...I don’t know how to control myself anymore. '
Jin sighed and pulled away, then wiped away Namjoon's tears and held his face into his hands while looking straight into the scientist's eyes
- ' Royalty taught me how to hold back emotions...that lesson really helped me I guess! '
A bitter smile placed on Jin's lips, and as soon as he closed his eyes, tears came streaming down.
Namjoon whispered
- ' Jin...'
- ' I also tried my best Joon.'
Jin opened his eyes, now not even trying to hold back his overflowing tears
- ' I...really tried a lot. I kept telling myself my duties..as a brother, as a crowned prince, as a royal....but all in vein. Who am I to win against the mighty  human heart? I know I can't do anything at this point. Tomorrow I have to return to the place I came from. I thought it would be better to part ways without showing exact feelings...but guess what? Now I realise why others confessed their emotions. Because that'll hurt...but not so pathetically like its tearing apart our hearts. I know I can't decide what will happen next even if I want to....but I do have the power to do things right in present. Even if  one single night left now, I'll tell you the truth. The truth you already knew and I tried to hide....the truth your eyes always conveyed and I denied to listen to....the truth that we both need to hear at this point to soothe our burning hearts for a little timespan. '

Namjoon's heart stopped beating as Jin cupped his face and planted a kiss on his forehead.
- ' I'm sorry....I'm sorry that I couldn’t be with you till the last. But please know that no matter where I will be..I'll always be in your heart. Whenever you need me, look inside your heart...I'll always be there, sharing your happiness and sorrows. Okay? '
Namjoon's voice choked. He wanted to say a lot but nothing came out. Jin caressed his face gently and flashed a smile....a genuine one after a long period.

- ' Yeah yeah.....no need to say it. Just listen. And for god's sake, don’t just nod ! '
A similar smile took place on Namjoon's lips.
-  ' I'm giving my heart to your precious hands...and I'm sure you'll treasure it forever.  I want the permission to love the truly beautiful human infront of me. Will you permit me to do so? Will you permit to love you, Joon? '

Namjoon didn’t say a word. Instead, he hugged Jin so hard that he landed on his back. A smile spread across the Prince's face
- ' Is that a yes? '
Jin heard a muffled laughter as Namjoon looked up at him, eyes glittering brightly
- ' How can I say no to my favourite Prince?  I love  you...I love you more than I've ever loved anyone. And yes.. I'll treasure your love in my heart, forever... till my last. That's a promise.'

Jin smiled, joining their foreheads together
- ' Thanks for coming into my life. You're that experience  which turned my life upside down. '
Namjoon didn’t care to answer back as he slowly closed the gap between their lips.







Hoseok smiled....a smile that held both peace and pain. He slowly closed the window of his room from which he saw the entire conversation of the elders. Night was pouring down on the couple laying on the grass of the garden.

The butler sighed and closed his eyes,  praying silently to the ultimate power that controls the universe.

- ' Let love win this time....please.. let love win over every single boundaries and obstacles. Let them hold each-other for the rest of their lives. '








































Finally the elders gave up and let love do the magic!

And now, the final day left.

What is waiting for them in the next morning? What can this one day do?
