Taehyung's head was resting on jimin's chest breathing hot against his skin, jimin massages his scalps thinking about every person taehyung killed to this day every drop of blood taehyung shed was on their hands who makes him like this, it wasn't his fault he wanted peace and love but all he got in return was  betrayal that turned him into a real monster

Jimin kissed his crown area a breathy sob left his mouth by the thought of how many years taehyung has been cupping it all inside because he didn't have a shoulder to cry on someone to clench on when it hurts so bad that he couldn't take it anymore

Jimin was his sweet blessing taehyung got after a long wait, jimin wanted to hurt the people who hurt him but it was too late they were all buried in their graves but taehyung was alive to correct his sins and lives life as a saint and jimin will do everything to make it real

He will do everything to bring back that taehyung who wanted to save everyone, the monster who was more human than the real ones, jimin forgot all his wounds that the same person gave him he's crying about, he forgots his pain after feeling taehyung's pain

He looks at taehyung and started to think how he never had anyone who truly loves him or cares about him, the poison running in his veins came from the hatred and betrayal he got from everyone, no one ever cares about him so he stopped caring about others and started to enjoy their pain and the power of fear

And suddenly his silent cries turned into sobs when the urge of protecting the little boy clinging to his chest rises in his heart, taehyung shuffled in his sleep by the noises coming out of jimin's mouth "why are you crying?" He asked anxiously looking at jimin and jimin's sobs only get louder "I'm sorry, I wish I could've protected you from them"

Taehyung laid back down and pulled jimin to his chest "it's fine you don't have to be sorry about anything it wasn't your fault" he wipes jimin's tears hushing his cries away "don't cry for me I'm not worthy of that" taehyung kissed his wet eyes "it wasn't yours either you tried to save them don't..." He cries out

Taehyung squeezes his face against his chest "shh" after crying for a while when jimin stopped he looked up at taehyung and asked, "how did you escape from there?" "With the help of someone, I owe my life to," taehyung said thinking about one of the only few people he ever liked

"Who?" Jimin asked again "Kim namjoon, he was the son of a goddess of magic Hecate, he was an Olympian and Titan, he was there when they tried to kill me it took him years to break the spell and get me out from there, and in between the play of magic he lost his life and while dying he told me about you"

"He told me mating my bride will bring back my powers and I raised his son and daughter to pay him back, Kim Jisoo and Kim Nam dong as you know jisoo is a hybrid and her brother is a magician like his father... he told me that namjoon was the one who blessed me with you and because of that he lost his life"

"I never understand why he saved someone like me or lose his life for me" there was a hint of guilt and hurt in his tone jimin intertwined their hands to comfort him "after his death the weight on my shoulder of my people's death increased more and I started to search for my bride but some rat leaked that news to Olympians and before I even got there they killed her"

"They never let them see another day before they killed every bride of mine, one after one until I lost the count, and then Nam dong told me you'll be my last bride born in the Zeus bloodline and when I got there they killed a child in front of me, and I thought it was you, my last bride, I felt so weak and lost all hope"

"I was blinded by anger and revenge when I found out the olympian prince ran away so I went to find him at the festival's night and I caught you instead because I smelled the Zeus blood in you so I took out the centuries-old anger on you and the rest you know" taehyung got so invest that he didn't notice when he revealed the biggest secret of jimin's life

When the realization hits him he looked at jimin who was staring at him blankly "Jim" "i-i was b-born at the Palace" jimin asked in shock he couldn't believe his ears "you were the son of the King and Queen" taehyung bites his lip "they tried to kill me because I was your bride?" Taehyung nodded his head in response he was feeling bad for jimin

And the horror on jimin's face makes taehyung regret being so reckless "my mother wasn't..." He gulped down the lump in his throat "how could they?... I was just a child. I was their child, how cruel are they?" Jimin said his swollen eyes were wide in anger at people who he look up to for his whole life "your mother, queen, saved you and gave you to her maid she put someone else in your place and run away from the palace with you and raised you in the village far away from everyone's eyes"

Taehyung explained furthermore, "they killed someone else because of me?" he asked in shock taehyung mentally curses himself for revealing another secret "not because of you, love, but because of their own feared self" taehyung hugs jimin tightly when he sees the tears tingling in his eyes again

"Why is everyone so cruel tae?" Jimin let out a painful sob taehyung was right he was living in a dreamland thinking nothing but good things about the world, being raised under the wings of his mother he never got to see the real image of the world that taehyung shows him

"I told you they aren't innocent jiminie" he rubbed his back to calm the crying boy "I didn't want to make you cry again" he sighed feeling guilty towards jimin the world is so cruel for someone as innocent as him "please stop crying you are making me feel bad," taehyung said when jimin doesn't stop crying and his sobs turned into hiccups

"I don't want my child to be born in this cruel world" he stared at taehyung with his green crystals floating in the scarlet sea "let's run far away from everyone where no one could find us or could harm our child," jimin said holding taehyung's face in his palms "but jimin.."

"I don't want to start the war again, you know better than me how much we lost in the war and I can't bear to lose anything I'm not strong like you tae, I can't lose you" he attached their foreheads "I need you, our child needs you" he puts taehyung's hand on his bloated stomach

"He will grow up in the love and care of his both parents, he won't grow up like us" taehyung nods his head he finally got everything and he can't burn it all in the fire of revenge "let's run away then" he whispered caressing jimin's stomach "he's grown so much" they both smiled in sync and then shared a long warm kiss

"We'll leave this palace tomorrow be ready after dawn" taehyung said to jimin settling down his head on the pillows "not tomorrow give me one more day," jimin replied, "for what?" Taehyung knotted his brows together "I want to see this whole palace before leaving" he thinks about his friends he has to say goodbye to them he doesn't even reply to jungkook he would be worried about him he can't leave without telling him everything.
