A Royal Mess || Taejin

Chapter 9

"Seokjin, can I have a word with you?"

Seokjin turned around to see his sister standing behind him with an irked expression painted across her face. He noticed how her nails were digging into her palms as if her intention was to draw blood. But Seokjin wondered whose blood she actually wanted.

"You could have knocked." Seokjin said in a matter-of-fact tone, diverting his eyes from the gorgeous sunset that created an ocean of colours on the snowy hilltops of Nahae. He preferred watching the beautiful scenery behind him rather than having to look at his twin.

As sad it made him to admit, Seokjin had developed a subtle resentment towards this particular sister of his. Ever since the day she had degraded him infront of Taehyung, Seokjin had started to see her in a different light, one with a darker hue and lower luminosity. Every word she spoke made Seokjin feel disturbed. Her mere presence in a room made Seokjin want to throw himself out of the window.

He did not want to feel this way about his sister. He, at times, felt immensely guilty for carrying such hatred for his own twin. But whenever he remembers the cold shoulders she gave, the passive aggressiveness in her behaivour around him and his sisters, the cocky remarks and the clinginess she had only around Taehyung, Seokjin's blood boiled.

"I have every right to barge into your room whenever I please, Seokjin. I am your twin sister." Jisoo provided her logic.

"Even if you were my damn soulmate, I would have appreciated a simple knock. Or are your knuckles too delicate and superior to even touch wood?" Seokjin returned.

"Mind your tongue, Seokjin." Jisoo said with the hint of a threat.

Seokjin just rolled his eyes and took a seat on his bed and gestured his sister to do the same, saying, "Do you need an invitation to sit, your Highness?"

Jisoo sat with exaggerated force, an act their mother would most definitely scold them for. She blew a strand of hair that hung awkwardly infront of her face. Her eyes fixed Seokjin with an icy look before she proceeded to speak.

"You should stay away from my Taehyung." Jisoo stated firmly.

"Excuse me?" Seokjin asked in a fake bored tone, his panic lying right underneath it.

Jisoo couldn't possibly get to know about Taehyung and his secret relationship, right?

"I had gone through it with the others for which I'm not in the state to repeat my words, so listen carefully." Jisoo said.

"I expect no disruptions in my blooming relationship with Taehyung. I wasn't planning to have this conversation with you, Seokjin, but I recently got to know that Nahae puts no restrictions on homosexual marriage. I know very well how rebellious you can get, so I don't want you to. . . . .distract my partner. Nor do I want you to screw around with any of the other princes. Mother expects our sisters to choose their future husbands from among them. So please, keep your whore self on leashes and maintain a distance from the princes."

"I'm not telling to avoid them at all costs," she continued, "But don't start catching feelings for them, or making them develop some sort of silly infatuation towards you."

"Do we understand?"

Seokjin wanted laugh on his sister's face and tell her how Taehyung was head over heels for him already and vice versa. He also wanted to say that Jimin's eyes were only on Jungkook and the same applied for Yoongi and Hoseok. As for Namjoon, he had told Seokjin that he wasn't quite into the settling down business and would rather live a peaceful life amongst his brothers and books.

In contrast to that, he wanted to rage at her for accusing him for being a slut. He had enough dignity to not go around snatching the princes' attention from his sisters. Sure, Taehyung had grown feelings for him but it was all because of Seokjin's personality and not just a mere result of seduction.
