The king looks a little too excited to hear Agust's request. He leans forward as if what's going to come out from Agust's mouth is going to be the most interesting thing he has ever heard in his 27 years of living.
"An acquaintance of mine wishes to work as a cook in your palace," Agust says.
King Yoongi's face brightens up in wicked amusement. He clenches onto the sides of his throne chair before laughing hard.
"Oh, brother," the King says before laughing again. "I presumed you'd be here to ask me something relating to that girl."
The word "that" doesn't sit well with AD. He doesn't like the way it was used to describe Tiana.
The corner of Agust's mouth twitches as he looks up at the king.
"Not yet," Agust responds.
The king's grin widens as he crosses his right leg over his left.
"So which one of these young men are wanting to cook in MY kitchen?" the king asks.
Seokjin's adam's apple bobs up and down when he hears the king's question.
"M-me, your highness," Seokjin says.
The king's eyes dart to Seokjin, making his body stiffen right away. Seokjin feels small against the king's stare and is reconsidering his request.
"Why?" the king asks.
Seokjin tries not to look away from the king's powerful gaze.
"I enjoy cooking and I'm a great one too. I feel like my cooking skills shouldn't go to waste and should be used to please your taste buds, your highness," Seokjin says.
The King tilts his head to the side as if he's in thought.
"Agust D," the king says.
AD's eyes shift to stare at the king.
"Have you taken that invention of yours out of my trees?" He asks.
Agust looks back at Seokjin whose face pales.
"No, not yet," AD replies.
The king smiles.
"Well, I'm excited for the amount of flogs I'll watch you get," King Yoongi says.
He clasps his hands together as if he's daydreaming about the event taking place.
"Me too...your highness," AD says.
The wicked smile on Yoongi's face falls and is replaced with a thin line.
"I expect that thing to be removed before sundown tomorrow," the king says. "or your acquaintance won't get the opportunity to cook in my kitchen."
AD nods his head at his twin, seeming not phased by the threat.
"Jimin, take them out of my palace," King Yoongi says.
He grabs his sword and begins to run his fingers along the sword's edge. Jin gawks at the King, surprised that he hasn't cut his finger based on how hard he is pressing his fingers along the sword's edge. AD nudges Jin's shoulder to make him stop staring and to remind him that they need to leave the building while the king is still in a good mood.
The sun has set and the full moon is in its place now. The night cold breeze touches the men and causes goosebumps to creep up their arms. The men take quiet steps down the stairs of the palace and onto the palace grounds. The night is silent, only the sounds of crickets are heard.
When they return to the palace gates, Jimin bids his farewell to AD, Jungkook, and Jin before closing and locking the gates behind him.
AD is happy to leave the palace. The heavy feeling he had in his chest was finally gone.
