prince's affection [TAEGI] ✔️

33.

After the attack and the abduction of Jimin, the king had been informed right away and he came to conclusion, that he would never have anything to do with the northern king.

"You did not only abducted one of my precious citizen, but also harmed my precious son, the nation's prince. How do you think the northern citizen, your own people would take it, huh?" Seokjin was standing right beside the king, with a disgusted look on his face, it was unbearable to even look at that man.

"M-my lord..t-that is-"

"Did I allow you to speak?" The king spat, making the man on his knees quiver. "As a punishment, i won't go as far as executing you, but, there will be a new ruler of the northern nation, and of course, I'll take everything I have to take from you for free."

The king was filled with perspiration, shaking all over. "My lord! Please! Reconsider -"

"Speak one more word and your tongue won't be in its place no longer." The king's words were sharp and they left no space for anymore argument, the northern king had to accept his ill fate that he, obviously, brought upon himself. "Now leave! it's disgusting to watch you here anymore. Take him away!"

Jin sighed. It was all good that the northern king has received the punishment he deserved, but in the course of it, the king had also discovered that Yoongi was alive all this time and no one had said anything to him. Once again, Yoongi was chained , but this time not into a dungeon but in one of horse stables, with no food and water to keep him hydrated.

"Seokjin." The king coughed, his breath shaky. "Must you keep everything to yourself, son?"

"I don't understand what you're trying to imply, father." Jin said, his gaze hard upon the floor.

"You do know what it is I'm talking about." Jin's shoulder tensed. "You do know what your brother is doing is bad, he's sick, we need to treat him, before that, kill that guy-"

"And what good will it do father?" Jin looked straight at the king's eyes. "Was I not the outcome of something similar to this, father?"

"KIM SEOKJIN!" The king's face was turning red from rage, his hands were shaking against the throne. "How many times have I told you to not bring this up-"

"But that doesn't mean it's a lie, does it now,father?" Jin had tears in his eyes. "No matter how many women you married, no matter how many times you try to forget that you were the one who impregnated a man with me, it won't help. You killed my real birth giver, father and you're trying to do the same to my brothers. It's not wrong for them to do the same thing but without being the heartless monster that you were, father!" Jin had tears flowing down his eyes, his cheeks were red and the king's eyes were widened with his mouth hung low. "No matter how many times I wanted to forget it, I can't. You killed my father. You killed your first love, father. You killed.."

"Se-seokjin, you-"

"Give me a break!" Seokjin didn't look back, he could hear his father calling out to him, but he didn't look back, he didn't want to look back now that he had said all that, it was embarassing. Why did he had to say all that after so many years? he said he wouldn't do it, but he did, after all, he did.

Shit.

As he opened the gate, his gaze met with a familiar doe ones, jittery and nervous under him.

"W-well, er.. I was assigned to give the king hourly news of the prince's condition, i-it wasn't like I was eavesdropping, why would i-oh-" before Jungkook could finish what he was saying, Jin hugged him tight, burying his face in the crook of his neck, clutching onto his waist for dear life. "M-my lord -"
