Hidden | Jikook

Part 9: Past

"We're creating a special unit and you want me to be the leader?" Fifteen year old Jimin asked, not sure if he heard his fathers words correctly.

"Yes. We figured you would be the best option. It would get you out of the castle that you complain about being stuck in, while in turn gathering information for the kingdom." The king replied to Jimin's words.

"But I'm not fit to lead them at the moment. How will I hide being the prince? What if I get killed?! Who will lead the kingdom then?!!"

"First off, you know you can easily change the color of your hair to dark brown with your powers. Second, how do you expect to rule a kingdom if you don't have the wisdom and experience to protect it? This will open your eyes to what the soldiers go through to protect the kingdom along with the wisdom to guide them." His father retorted quickly, shutting Jimin down.

"But-" Jimin tried to say something but was quickly cut off by his father.

"Jimin. I understand that this may scare you, but I have faith that this will help you in many ways and that you will like it a lot more than you think. It will also help you gain the soldiers respect and trust, which in turn will help you lead the kingdom. Will you please do it?"

"FINE! I'LL DO IT!" Jimin yelled as he started to stomp his way to the door .

"Don't forget to meet your squad members that you will be leading! They're in the war sector!" The king yelled as he watched his son stomp out of the room and slam the door.

He sighed as he looked over to his wife. His wife smiled as she squeezed his hand to comfort him, looking at him with a smile of comfort. Thankfully it worked as he laid his head on her shoulder and relaxed a bit.

'This fucking sucks! How the hell am I going to lead this squad with absolutely no experience?! Well I guess I have to come up with a couple of rules for them to follow. I have no plans on letting any of them get killed on my watch!' Jimin thought to himself as he stomped his way down the hall towards the war sector. Making sure to change his hair color to dark brown so no one would notice his true status.

Once he got to the door he slammed it open, shocking everyone inside as he made his way from the war sectors lobby to its kitchen quickly grabbing himself something to drink to calm himself down. He doesn't normally drink since it's not really accepted for the royal family to do so, but his father does know that he drinks every now and then, which he is fine with as long as he is being responsible about it.

"Yo, kid! What the hell are you doing here?" A tall guy with shoulder length brown hair and gray eyes walked in right behind Jimin. He wore an all black outfit with a tattoo on his right hand.

"What does it look like I'm doing?! I'm making myself a drink. Now leave me be." Jimin replied back with irritation. He had enough of  it today and didn't want to deal with anything else.

"But you're too young to drink!" The man yelled as he tried to take the drink from Jimin who quickly evaded him and gave him a glare.

"Just because I'm young doesn't mean that I can't drink. What's your name and what squad are you in?" Jimin replied  darkly, ready to destroy the man that stood in front of him.

"I don't have to tell you sh-" The man tried to finish but was cut off by a girl.

"Enough Hyunjin! Can't you tell that kid is ready to rip your head off?! We're supposed to be waiting for the new leader of our squad and here you are picking a fight with this kid!" The women said to Hyunjin who was seething in anger. Jimin just stood back and slowly sipped on his drink as the two argued about the situation. He found it interesting that the two could fight over something so stupid.

Once Jimin finished his drink, he decided to say something to the two who were still arguing after 15 minutes and it was getting annoying at this point.

"Stop it. Both of you." Jimin said calmly, gathering the attention from both of them. After listening to the argument, Jimin had learned that the guy's name was Hyunjin and the girl's name was Nari.

"What do you want?!" Hyunjin said with hostility that ended up with him getting smacked in the back of the head by Nari.

Jimin sighed hoping that this wouldn't be an everyday thing since they were obviously part of the squad he was leading. Walking over to the sink, he washed his glass and set it on the towel before making his way towards the lobby, but stopped at the entrance of the kitchen to the lobby to say something.

"From what it seems, the two of you are from the special unit. So quit fighting and make your way towards the meeting room. I'm the new captain of the Special Unit so you'll be taking orders from me now. Don't like it, well too bad. The king appointed me so if there's any complaints, you'll have to go to him." Jimin walked out of the kitchen towards the meeting room, leaving the two  in shock from the news of their new captain.
