"You- What are you-" Words stuck in Jungkook's throat as he couldn't believe what he was witnessing.
They abruptly bow down to their knees to hide their faces as everyone looks at Jungkook, expecting some kind of explanation.
Dude, he's just as clue...
"Your Highness, please get up. You have to get to the combat training. And I request you to please get changed. You look like a homeless lazy bum lying here." Jin Hyung nagged me from beside me and whispered the last part.
"Oh Hyung what's with the formality? Aren't I usually called a 'brat' or a 'dumbass'?" I teased still not opening my eyes as I enjoy the pleasant weather on my trusty hammock.
"I would've just kicked your lazy ass off the hammock right when I arrived but I can't since there is staff present here and I don't want to hear an earful from she-devil about staff etiquette." He whispered to me and I could hear his frustration through his voice.
Probably a sassy eye roll too. That's my Jin Hyung for you, the sweetest, most protective, trustworthy, and a massive asshole in my life.
He is my assistant, manager, bodyguard, part-time nagging mom, and companion here. He's the one I can rely on the most here and I can be myself in front of him.
Well, I sometimes give him a hard time here since he's the only one who can put up with my tantrums and not do anything about it.
His father, Kim Yeonjun, used to be the royal advisor here and was close to my father but he died in that horrendous accident.
Since that accident, my dad allowed Jin Hyung and his brother Namjoon to live and train here to be royal assistants for me and my elder brother, Taehyung.
"On a serious note, your brother is already waiting for you there. Don't give him any reason to beat your ass anymore, yesterday's lesson must be enough to teach you that don't piss him off." He lectures.
I just sigh and he continues, "I can't deal with you two bickering all the time and Namjoon is pretty tired too." Hyung pleaded.
"It doesn't matter. Whatever I do pisses him off so why bother. Please just go and make some excuse today, besides my whole body aches till today from yesterday's session." I shiver at the memory and finally sit upon the hammock.
"Alright, I'll cover for you today but you need to give me your dessert for a month. Deal?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Hey, that's too much. Don't be a greedy bitch." I complain.
"Alright then, 2 months it is." He announces.
"Hyung are you crazy? I didn't even agree for a month. You can't change the deal." I pout.
He acts like he's thinking something and says, "Umm yes, I can," then suddenly flicks my forehead.
"Ouch, what was that for?" I hiss.
"That's for calling me a bitch." He smirked and turn around to leave before I could even say anything.
He can be a prick sometimes but at least I won't have to go to that death trap disguised as a training session.
I really can't get what's Taehyung Hyung's deal. I mean I've always been good and respectful to him and taken him as a role model after our dad.
The accident changed him and I don't know why I feel like he blames me for that. I don't get why because I was just a kid like him.
I agree that losing his mom would have been hard for him and it hurts me as well. I tried to be there for him but he kept pushing me away and it hurts.
He became really closed off with everyone and always just focused on the task on hand and left. But since he's been engaged with his fiancee, Park Sua, I've seen him smile more often than ever in my life living with him.
I'm genuinely happy for him but he makes me and my mom feel like we're somehow responsible for that tragedy while my mom wants nothing but happiness for him.
No matter what my mom does for him, he doesn't even acknowledge it much rather appreciate it.
Don't get me wrong, I adore him too much for me to hate him but sometimes his attitude hurts me.
So I try to be good and still try to make him open up to me but recently with the close combat he isn't going too easy with me.
I have a bigger build than him that's why I try to go a little easy on him so he doesn't get hurt but on contrary, he is taking this as an opportunity to beat the fuck out of me.
Author's Pov
Last Afternoon
Jungkook enters the training room followed by Jin. Its equipped with various weapons, suits, and safety gear.
The moment he looks towards the makeshift ring, he makes direct eye contact with a very panicked Namjoon which makes him a little anxious.
Namjoon is a very calm and composed person. He rarely ever loses his composure but 98% of it happens because of the two princes and the beef between them.
The other 2% is saved for his beloved child-like Jin Hyung.
At this moment he's stressed because Jungkook is 30 minutes late and Taehyung beside him is fuming right now.
At this point, he just hopes that Jungkook doesn't show up so that they can delay their catfight and he can just go to the library and read the book which only 5 chapters are left.
The anticipation of the ending is killing him but he's more worried about Jungkook being strangled by Taehyung during the practice.
His eyes widen the moment they meet Jungkook's clueless ones and try to silently indicate him to leave by mouthing some words and hand gestures.
But before Jungkook comprehends Hyung's desperate tries to make him leave and run for his life, Taehyung turns around.
The moment their eyes meet, Jungkook has a sensation that he's in deep shit.
