Bounded

Chapter 30

7k+ words I refused to believe....
A very important chapter💜.

The very next day, Jungkook didn’t know he would meet with a completely empty hallway which was deprived of his Alpha’s presence. Without wasting any moment, Jungkook approached the Royal Omega. Jimin sounds sad when he explains with his half sleepy voice, why the Royal alpha came back so suddenly and after finishing his work in Eclipse, he went for his duties. 

Jungkook felt sad, he would not lie. At least Alpha should have given him a chance to say farewell but then his mind wandered to the previous night, he realised that maybe Alpha’s fur coat was his present of separation. Sometimes, Alphas do that. In the time of urgency, they left some token as a promise to come back and went away without any word.

Jungkook sulked a little but as soon as his eyes fell on the people of Eclipse, a big smile made its way on his lips. Everybody was happy, why wouldn’t they? Their Royal Prince found his mates, the two strongest and kindest Betas, it was the moment of celebration and Eclipsers celebrates it by their goofy nature.

Elders and neighbouring packs sent the Royal Prince tons of gifts while eclipsers showered them with their incomparable blessings. Everyone was happy so Jungkook was too.

A day after the celebration Jungkook rejoined the courtroom and granted his permission to the troopers to build their houses near the border of territories. He remembered his Alpha’s words and went to the Central Royal Library to hunt for the required book that will help him with proficiency in all supplied ratios.

With a jaw hanging under his veil, Jungkook entered the library. The library indeed speaks Royalty. Books to books, shelves to shelves were aligned in the most perfect way and true to his Alpha's words he indeed finds the book he was searching for, exactly at the place his Alpha told him.

“Annual Grants.” The book contains five different volumes. It will take a lot of time to read them but Jungkook didn't want to delay anymore. He looked behind and said to the guard,” Kindly wait outside and make sure no one can enter. If Hyungnim asked for me, Please say I am here.” That doesn’t sound like an order but more of a request. Jungkook was still learning how to order someone but he was sorely lacking.

The guard bowed before going outside the library. He closed the door behind him and stood beside the door with attentive eyes all around.

Jungkook looked around one more time before discarding his crown on the nearby desk and then lifting his veil over his head. He was wearing pastel lime hanfu today. He sat on the chair and opened the first volume of the book.

The book was filled with incredible formulas and explanations, it contains 200 types of foods and their certain distributed amounts among the folks. For each month, the supply was different. The book was written beautifully, in a way that anyone who has some knowledge of calculations can understand. The book absorbed Jungkook’s entire attention.

He took one complete week and two days to finish all the volumes. Jimin tried to disturb him in between so that he can take some rest but in his sleep as well, Jungkook was solving the facts as to how an extra sack of grain can make a huge difference in distribution.

Black ink was gliding on the blank page as Jungkook was solving the last proportion for supplies. His fingertips and front lapels have black ink marks but these were the least concern of him. Jungkook sighed when he finished everything but he still had some doubts.

He made an extra list of words that he couldn't understand at all. The words were old like his Alpha had written it in a very different saga. 

‘Should I ask Alpha or should I read the books again?’ Jungkook was in the middle of confusion as he closed the last book. But the last page caught his eyes. He opened the book again and saw a new vocabulary had been established on the last ten pages.
