"Crown prince? All I see is a cute puppy before me."

Yoongi had a serious expression. He gently twisted the peacock feather, a pen, with his fingers, deep in thought about his younger brother.

He was worried of his future more than of his own. He always was worried about him, but it's more now because Taehyung had stopped speaking to him and was distant now.

He could handle being through bad days if it means that his baby brother is happy, but he just couldn't do anything to understand him.

Taehyung was always immature. He understood why he was mad at this moment. He was overly protective over him, and this is why he's behaving like this.

Taehyung was the apple of Yoongi's eyes. He was the most precious thing that his mom and dad left behind with him.

All life, he dedicated himself to being a good father-figure for Taehyung and taking care of him to mould him into independent creature. He had driven Taehyung into doing things like dancing and horse riding along with nursing which are the few things Taehyung loved to do.

But now? Something had happened to Taehyung, and he knew well what had happened. It was jealousy and protectiveness which was causing the problem.

Yoongi recollected the moments when Taehyung would seduce an alpha by winking at them or smirking at them when they grew hard just by looking at him. He hated all that because he was a protective brother.

Even Taehyung was protective. He saw him cry for the first time because of these people who he had long forgiven and accepted with warm arms.

Only thing was that Taehyung wasn't ready to forget everything yet.

"Hyungie," he heard a sweet voice which immediately pulled him out of his trance. He turned around, smiling at the omega and signalling him to come inside the room.

Jimin grinned sweetly, walking to him and carefully settling down on his lap, squirming around until he was comfortable before bursting out a bright smile which melted the beta's heart. Yoongi held his hip to steady him.

"Why are you here, pup?" He asks, grinning sweetly. Jimin pouted as he knew that Yoongi had been distressed.

"You were lost in thoughts. I had been standing there for so long, but you didn't realize. What's troubling you, hyung?" Jimin asks, nuzzling his nose on Yoongi's cheeks after learning down a little.

"Nothing." Yoongi sighed. "Just thinking about--"

"Taehyung?" Jimin asks with his eyebrows lifted questioningly. He smiles when Yoongi nods.

"You are a very good brother, hyung. I wish my brother was as nice as you for not abandoning me and handing over my entire life to that bastard."

Yoongi brought him closer, hugging him closely.

Well, the conditions in which Yoongi met Jimin was anything but happy and beautiful. He had wailed, cried in pain and cursed at every god at their first meeting because the pain couldn't be taken away.

That day, he had thought that he lost his Hoseok. When he saw them holding hands and the mating mark lying strong and proud on Jimin's neck, he had lost everything he had.
