Jimin, holding Minho in his arms, attempted to browse through the many wedding themes he might share with his brother. The fact that Jin had requested him to check into some for him was important; although he had said that there was a certain theme in mind, he wanted to have some alternatives in case he ended up wanting to choose more than one.

"I put our daughter to bed. Do you want to put Minho to sleep and join me in our room?" Jimin's Alpha questions, looking over at Jimin, wondering what he was doing.

"Thanks, but can you put Minho in his crib for me? I have to finish this up before I come to bed."

Hoseok walks up to Jimin and takes Minho from his arms, staring at the tablet screen on Jimin's desk, "why are you looking at wedding themes?"

"It's for Seokjin's wedding; he needs some options to consider."

"Why isn't he able to do this on his own? Can you tell me why you're doing it?"

'Because I want to do it for him," Jimin says as he turns to face his Alpha. "He's my younger brother who doesn't have an idea about what he's doing right now, so I want to help him. Do you have any objections to that?"

"Of course not, love, I'm... forget about it. I will put Minho to bed, and I anticipate that you will join me shortly and that you will not spend your whole night doing this." Hoseok kisses Jimin's forehead as he leans closer and says, "I love you."

"I love you as well, and thank you." Jimin returned to what he was doing, picking up his pen and jotting down the themes he thought would be appropriate for his brother's wedding. He hoped he was choosing the ones Jin would like, as he knew Jin was picky.

In Taehyung's case, the night had been rough, he couldn't sleep, and he was still struggling to comprehend how Seokjin had selected him. It was a source of great concern to him since he knew there was no way he could be the Alpha to someone like Seokjin. He had no desire to marry or be mated with anybody, and he was completely content with the way things were going in his life.

He despised the fact that an Omega was making decisions about aspects of his life that he should not have had the authority to make. In his mind, he couldn't comprehend why on earth the royal family had granted Seokjin the kind of power they had, enabling him to do anything he pleased without fear of consequences.

Because this was not the norm, and it had never occurred before, either in his lifetime or in his father's lifetime. He considered it humiliating to be the Alpha, who was now being picked by an Omega. The Alphas determined whether or not they wanted to marry an Omega, not the other way around. Taehyung was well aware that he had little hope of having a promising future ahead of him. No way, he couldn't refuse Seokjin, no matter how much he wanted to. Had it been another Omega, he may have been able to do so, but rejecting and refusing the King's favored son would result in his instant execution.

His body is exposed as he gets out of bed and walks to the living room of his house, pacing back and forth, careful not to trip on any of the numerous presents that had been placed on his floor. Countless presents had begun to arrive for him almost immediately after the word of his engagement to the prince had spread. He didn't give a damn about any of them and planned to have them donated as soon as he had the opportunity to do so.

When he heard the doorbell ring, he wrinkled his brows, not expecting anybody to come to his house at such a late hour. Upon reaching his door, he glances at the camera mounted on the door panel and groans upon realizing who had come to see him.

After pressing the talk button, he spoke through the speaker, "what do you want?"

"I am here to see you; now open the door."

Taehyung sighs hard as he opens the door for Seokjin. "It's late, and I didn't invite you here, so why are you here?"

Jin gives him a kind smile and pushes his way inside Taehyung's house, saying, "wow, I've never been to this part of the Kingdom before; that was a long walk. By the way, you look fantastic without a shirt; do you do any workouts?"

"Seokjin, what are you doing here?" Taehyung said seriously; he didn't have time for Seokjin. "Aren't you aware that you shouldn't be coming to my house at this time of night?"

"Since we are technically engaged, there is nothing wrong with me visiting you at this time of night unless you are scared of not being able to control yourself around me, which I can understand." Jin smiles at Taehyung and lets out a short giggle. "However, I am continuing to take my heat suppressants, so there is no reason to be concerned about losing control or anything."

"You need to be my type for me to lose control around you, and you aren't, so don't get ahead of yourself."

"Whatever helps you sleep better at night," Jin said, rolling his eyes. "In any case, we need to talk about our wedding and decide on a date for it. I want to share all of the final information with my parents by the end of this week."

Taehyung stared at Jin in disbelief "seriously, Seokjin, why did you choose me among all the Alphas in and outside of this Kingdom? Do you want a miserable life as an Omega? Are you aware that if I mate you, your life becomes what I want it to be regardless of whether you are a prince or not"

"It has been on my mind to use blue and grey with a few touches of white as the colors for our wedding. What are your thoughts?" Jin questions as he walks around Taehyung's home, observing things as he goes.

"Seokjin, I do not want to marry you-"

"All well, if you don't have any thoughts about it, I'll make the ultimate choice then. Now, what about cake; do you have a particular kind that you like for us to have? The main cake would be a ten-tiered creation, with roughly twenty, three-tiered cakes for our guests. This is something I will have to enlist the help of Namjoon to work out for me after we have decided how many people we will invite. Are there any flavors you like in particular?"

"I have no interest in whatever you are doing, so please go."

Although Jin was unsurprised by Taehyung's behavior, he knew it would change eventually. After all, Taehyung couldn't possibly continue to act this way towards him for the rest of his life. "Should I live here after our wedding, or will you join me in my new home? I believe you should consider moving in with me since this place is really small. Though charming, it is on the smaller side, and it is not appropriate for a prince like me."

"Marrying me is what's not appropriate for a prince like you; therefore, rethink your decision and choose someone who will care for you. I don't care about you right now, and I won't care about you in the future. The Omega of my choice already exists, and you are not that Omega. "

"Do you want me to share these words with my father?" Jin asked Taehyung as he moved closer to him and stared straight into his eyes. "Understandably, you're an Alpha, but never forget that I am royalty and that whoever this Omega is now sitting in your mind that you believe you may be able to be with but isn't me, please remove them from there, while I am thinking of you kindly.

From this day on, I will be the only Omega you will ever know, and you will be with me at all times. If you have ever given yourself to an Omega in the past, I am ready to overlook this since you are older than me and may have had some moments of weakness in your life."

"You're making a big mistake by approaching me in this manner." Taehyung hisses at Seokjin and glares at him.
