"Ooh, the other Groom is here.", Hoseok hollers as soon as he sees Jimin entering the ball room along with Jungkook.

"Greetings, everyone!"

The young prince forces a bright smile as he greets everyone. He can't let his mood affect the others. They looked genuinely happy and he wouldn't take that away from them.

His eyes dart to Yoongi for a moment, who was sitting there wearing a black turtle neck underneath his blazer, he was reading some scrolls with the royal watermark at the back of the paper, specs resting on his nose.

His hair were ruffled. All in all he looked handsome as hell. But-

He didn't even glance at me. Jimin's smile slowly starts fading away with the thought.

Oh, only if he knew...

What he failed to notice was Yoongi's stiff posture. The older had the other scroll scrunched in his fist, the paper almost crumpling as soon as he noticed the younger entering the room.

Yoongi was, of course, guilty. Whatever happened last night was not supposed to happen. It all went downhill in just a few minutes.

"Oh, Jimin, you're here.", Taemin exclaims as he spots Jimin from the other end of the hall.

Jimin smiles, a small but genuine one, momentarily forgetting everything as he gazes at his friend and mentor.

"Taemin hyung, thank you for coming on such a short notice. It's good to see you again.", he says as he bows at the older.

The other male reciprocates the gesture and brushes of the formal statement with the wave of his hand in a dismissive way.

"Congratulations on the engagement, Prince Park OR soon-to-be Prince Min.", he wishes with a teasing smirk.

Prince Park because one could only say the name of the Prince along with the honorifics of course.

The people close to the royals can call their names, if allowed or requested to do so. The royals can talk with their names among themselves though.

Jimin freezes for a moment as the moments of last night flash in front of his eyes, before he realized he had many spectators who were hooting at the statement. Yoongi too has managed to fake a smile as Taehyung nudges his brother in a teasing way.

Jimin rolls his eyes as he slaps Taemin's arm. "Quit teasing, hyung. You didn't even invite me to your engagement.", he says with a playful glare.

Taemin chuckles. "That was rushed, Jimin but I already have the invitation of my wedding waiting for you in my bag. It's during the next fall.", he says as he ruffles the younger's hair. Jimin congratulates the other too, genuinely happy for his friend.

"Okay okay, Yoongi. Stop glaring at him. He will be all yours in a few days.", Hoseok teases as he sees the aforementioned male glaring at Taemim as he ruffled his fiance's hair.

Well, Yoongi definitely was glaring. Jimin instantly looks away as his eyes' meet the older's. He subconsciously takes a step away from the other male, knowing Yoongi's possessive nature.

Of course, the older didn't like it. He didn't like it a bit whenever someone he barely knows touches his fiance.

But now, it was a different reason.
One that disgusted him.

Jimin and Taemim were in the college together, the latter being a senior by two years who became a dance instructor there too after his studies. And Jimin was close to him, almost as close as Jongin was.

He couldn't help but think that Jongin obviously wasn't the only one that he shared a bed with even after being engaged with him.

He couldn't help and wonder if this Taemin guy also was one of Jimin's those friends.
