The Heart of a Beast ✔

Royal Laws

Seokjin did everything possible to get on with his life and forget Taehyung, he was the Prince he could never love Jin for real, seeing its been 4 days since he's seen Taehyung, he hasn't even tried to contact him at all. He makes his regular delivers, hangs out with Hobi by the lake to swim or sits in his room and cries for his one true love. He is trying to be strong but his heart is broken and healing it isn't going to be easy.

Taehyung on the other hand hasn't left his room at all, he hasn't eaten or spoken to anyone in 4 days, he refuses to give up his love for a stupid law that was made hundreds of years ago, his father is the King and knows that he can change laws if he really wanted to. This is what Taehyung gets for years of being spoiled and getting what wants, now that he really wants something he wont get it.

In another part of the castle the Queen and Jimin are storming into the Kings office, they stand with hands on hips glaring at the man behind the desk, "What." "My King, if you do not change that stupid law today I will make sure that your highness will never see his Queen in the biblical sense ever again", the Queen says sternly. 

The Kings eyes go wide and he stands, "but love, would you really do that to your King." "Namjoon do you not see what you are doing to our son, you want him to be the best King he can be, let him be with his true love by his side, he will be so much better for his people if he is happy", the Queen says pleading with her husband.

"Jimin please take me to meet Seokjin, I think him and I need to have a talk but do not tell your brother", the queen asks her youngest son. Jimin calls for the driver and has him bring the royal carriage around to the front steps, Jimin helps his mother into the carriage and they start off to Jin's house. 

"Do you smell that mom, the fresh bread, the fruit pies and the blueberry muffins, Seokjin's family are extraordinary bakers, I have tried their bread at Hoseok's house and it was amazing", Jimin says getting excited. The closer they get to the Kim's tiny house the stronger the smell becomes and Jimin's mouth is watering.

"I'm back dad, everything has been delivered', Jin says coming into the house and putting the money into the tea kettle above the stove. "Thank you Jinnie", his dad says cleaning the ovens. Jin walks to his bedroom, he doesn't feel like doing anything today but moping around the house, he falls on  his bed and he cant help the tears that begin to fall, he misses Taehyung so much. 

A knock on his door makes him sit up and wipe his tears, "come in." When Jimin enters Jin stands and bows, Jimin makes him stand straight, "you do not have to bow to me, I brought someone who wants to meet you." When the Queen walks in Jin's eyes almost pop out of head, he again bows and the queen places her hand under his chin lifting him to look at her, "you are so beautiful Seokjin, please do not cry anymore." 

Namjoon opens Taehyung's bedroom door, he sees him laying on his bed looking off into space, "son you will need to get up eventually, you cant live like this." Taehyung sighs, "I'm fine right here dad." "Taehyung, you will get up, your wedding is just a few hours away", the King says. Taehyung sits up quickly, "excuse me what wedding, I am not getting married unless its to Seokjin Father." "Taehyung do not make me angry, you will get up and get ready, I will not tell you again", Namjoon says sternly. "Father please", Taehyung begs. "TAEHYUNG, NOW", Namjoon yells. 

When he opens the door he calls for the maids to get Taehyung dressed and have him ready for his nuptials, he glares at his father and immediately starts to sob, wanting his Seokjin. As the maids fix his clothes and his hair he starts to think out loud, "you all wouldn't tell on me if I ran away would you." 

They all giggled, "your highness you shouldn't think such things, if the King found out he would be very angry." Tae sighed, tears falling from his cheeks, "your highness please don't cry, you will have red eyes for your betrothed and you need to look handsome tonight." "I don't want to look handsome, I want my Seokjin and no one is listening to me", Tae sobs. 

The queen knocks on Taehyung's door a few hours later, "son may I come in." "Yes", Tae says sadly. She sits next to him on the bed pulling him into her arms, "my poor baby is so sad, you should be happy on your wedding day." "How can I be happy mom when he is making me marry a stranger, just for royal purposes, it's selfish of him to not change the law for love", he says sobbing into his mothers lap. 

"So you think you are in love with that boy, the bakers son", she asks. Tae sits up and looks at his mother, "love doesn't even begin to cover it, love is such a generic word for what I feel for my Seokjin, he saved me, not only from being a dragon the rest of life but he saved me from myself, I was disrespectful and spoiled, I hurt people for my own gain and he taught me that I could be better, I want to be better for him." 

The queen has never seen her son so emotional and so open about his feelings, he heart is full with how much her eldest son has changed, the change that she has hoped for, for so long. She kisses his head, "come downstairs, its time." Taehyung sighs and slowly nods his head, he stands and walks out behind his mother, she guides him to the alter and tells him to wait, Taehyung scans the guests and then looks at his feet trying not to cry for his love, "I am so sorry Jinnie, I tried I really did."
