𝓛oud cheering echoed throughout the grand hall, the King and Queen descending from the staircase. Yoongi clapped along with the rest of the supernatural beings present, crossing his legs while staring towards the throne.

He shivered and felt someone staring at him from across the room. Yoongi slowly moved his head in the direction of the feeling and he gulped, making eye contact with the ghoul from before. The man was glaring daggers at him and not paying any attention whatsoever on the King and Queen.

Yoongi quickly diverted his gaze and waited for the King to begin his speech. The man was still staring at the side of his face and the human breathed in and out slowly. Yoongi must have been fidgeting because Hoseok's hand touched his shoulder and the man quietly told him to calm down.

The human nodded softly and pretended the man wasn't staring at him. "Welcome, welcome everyone! I hope you all settled into your rooms well. Today marks the first annual day of my son's coronation gala." Cheers sounded while the King laughed quietly. "Please welcome my son, Prince Haneul."

Yoongi smiled brightly, looking up at the staircase to see the King's son. He smiled brightly and clapped loudly with the other people around them. Haneul smiled and waved to the audience, reaching the final step and walking over to the smaller throne next to his parents'.

The King welcomed his son, soon turning towards the crowd again. "I want to wish you all a nice meal as we continue with today's breakfast feast. Let us feast together!" The room was filled with cheers and loud chatter as everyone began to eat once again. Yoongi turned around but still felt the ghoul staring at him. The man wanted to say something but he only stayed quiet and began eating the rest of his food.

Yoongi soon felt the staring depart and he sighed in relief. "Is anything the matter, bubba?" The poor man squeaked, his body shivering from Hoseok's cold hand against his shoulder. He craned his head to the werewolf who was smiling warmly at him. The human smiled sheepishly back and fiddled with his fork.

"Nothing, Hoseokie. I just feel a little tired, that's all." Yoongi felt Hoseok's hand squeeze his shoulder and he grinned. "Good. Don't forget to tell us if you feel uncomfortable at anytime, okay?" The younger man nodded slowly at the werewolf and he saw the man divert his eyes to over his shoulder. Yoongi didn't like lying to Hoseok but he doesn't want him to worry. That would make him feel like a burden and the human doesn't like the sound of that.

Graceful music enlaced the grand hall, many people dancing around the main floor. Yoongi was watching from the tables which had been pushed towards the wall. It was around 9:00 PM. After the breakfast this morning, the King announced the second to last day of the gala was the prince's crowning. The next three coming days were the celebrations for the coronation.

The rest of the day wasn't very productive since Yoongi, Jimin and Jungkook couldn't stay together. It was making the human restless everytime he would see them, however, he knew it was for their safety and his own. Yoongi rubbed his eyes and yawned, looking over at Hoseok's seat.

The human raised an eyebrow, his best friend seemingly had disappeared. The two of them were staying off the dance floor while Taehyung was dealing with something with Namjoon. Where'd Hoseok go though? That was quite odd unless he went to get some food or drinks they could have.

Yoongi was about to stand up to look for him before a hand grabbed his wrist and he was pulled out of his chair forcefully. "Hey-" The man nearly tripped over, the woman who grabbed him was taking him out of the grand hall and into the corridors. No doubt this could be one of the hunters spies.
