Prince in disguise ~ Jikook

[01] Masquerade Ball

"Jimin-ah, I know your getting older, furthermore becoming king soon, So I presume that you find an.. significant other." Jimin's mother spoke truthfully to his beloved son, who looked up to her at any circumstances, just the same as his father. "I am aware eomma, it's just hard to endure these days." Jimin also spoke with honestly, knowing that he'd have to look up to his mothers and fathers expectation, it was becoming stressful looking for an partner to parish with for life, due to Jimin's feelings about other princesses wanting to be his future wife and queen. He didn't have the feeling for any of them that had stepped up to him for the past months. Yes Jimin was respectful to them and found that many of them liked him because of his charm, he just couldn't put his mind onto being in a relationship with them. "Perhaps, it's better if we sent you off to the real world if you haven't found someone who your interested in?" Jimin's mother spoke her thoughts aloud, giving Jimin the chance to listen to his mothers choice.

Although Jimin was just a bit excited to see the real world and the people there, he remained with a smile that showed an appearance to his face. "Wouldn't that be.. better for you darling?" His mother asked, slightly concerned for what may come in the future by the sudden wait of her sentence. "As much as it is for me, I want it to be for you as well, for the both of you, eomma and appa." Jimin said, leaving his mother with a proud smile. "We shall then, I know you'll make the right decisions." Jimin's mother stated confidently, until the conversation was interrupted by an loud door opening. "Jimin-ssi is going to the real world?!"

"Taehyung! What have we spoken about?!" Jimin's mother eyes shot at Taehyung threateningly and her voice raised, leaving Taehyung to a slight shiver from his feet to his shoulders. "S-sorry eomma, I-it mustn't happen again." Taehyung stammered, bowing before taking his exit. The eldest mother sighed meeting eyes with Jimin again. "Get ready, we have invited an well educated class of student's to the ball."

Jungkook sat at the table, palm on his cheek and his arm also being on the table with an bored expression, Jungkook was being watched on almost his every move. "Uhm, quick question.. why do y'all have to be next to me?" Jungkook asked leaning on his chair while his hands secured the on the desk so he wouldn't fall, the guards didn't answer him which  made Jungkook huff and returned to his previous position. Waiting for a certain amount of students to be done with a survey Jungkook had already finished it, being the first to, they put him in a second room so he wouldn't distracted or disturb them. It annoyed Jungkook because he'd be bored and some of his friends where in there that he wanted to talk with but couldn't until they were done, merely a set of kids were finished but none of them were his friends.

This wasn't the first time this happened to Jungkook since he was always first to completing almost anything. Time was running out and the alarm for the survey was about to end, when it did Jungkook got up from his seat and was ready to go see his friends until an announcement was made. Jungkook suddenly stopped to listen as they announced all of the students going to a masquerade ball. Jungkook heard his name after 2 students and he was confused for a slight second, it was supposed to be a "break" as Jungkook thought. His whole class was going which was great because he got to talk with his friends. A smile appeared on jungkook's face after the words were said and the radio was off.

Jungkook left the room as the guards followed and it was about time to leave and go home, but before he left a line of staff had the outfits ready for us to take home and wear. Jungkook got to wear a black jacket suit with rhinestones on the shoulders and a blouse that had extended sleeves that he could fold upwards, along side with the black pants and heels.

"Thank you." Jungkook bowed giving the staff an warming smile. The staff smiled and bowed back before one of Jungkook's guard took his clothes to hold them and one opened the car door. "Thanks to you too." Jungkook sat in passenger seat of Namjoons car and the guard placed the outfit in the backseat, closing the door right after.

"How was it?" Namjoon drove off asking in his soothing voice. "It was boring.. I barley got to see my friends." Jungkook pouted his lips as his arms folded in front of his chest, Namjoon glanced over to Jungkook giving him a smile that showed his deep dimples. To Namjoon Jungkook's pouts and complaints was adorable, he'd often just smile the first time he does it then responds afterwards.

"You know you can always a see your friends after school." Now that Namjoon had said that, Jungkook suddenly remembered the event was happening in the afternoon. "Namjoon, the ball, is starting in the afternoon!" Jungkook's voice raised just a bit, speaking as if he was going to be late. "Relax, I was going to ask you about the outfit but you beat me to it. You'll start getting ready in an hour." Namjoon told Jungkook who looked his way with doe eyes that stood out to almost anyone, making him look more adorable than he already was.

Jimin sat gracefully on the chair he was provided with, while Jimin's personal markup artist his mother assigned to him, did his eyes, lips, a bit on his nose and cheeks, Jimin looked beautiful. A knock was heard and Jimin swiveled his head to see his mother and father standing at the door, hands laying on top of each other and his father's hands behind his back. Jimin stood and walked up to them with a smile planted on his face, his parents smiled back. "Are you ready darling?" Jimin's mother asked. "I am." Jimin said, turning from them for the slightest minute he grabbed a mask and gently placed it over his face, adjusting the strap a bit.

"Jimin, while the ball is happening, me and your father are having to run some errands. So we won't be there for long." Jimin's eyes filled with worry now, and his voice became a bit shaky "your.. not going to be here?" Jimin said in a low unsettling tone, that caused his mother to walk up to him and place her hands on his. "No, please don't worry. We have protection, and you will always be protected Jimin, there's nothing you need to fret for." His mother's words helped Jimin return to smiling again. "Now, hurry. It should be starting." Jimin's mother enlightened the mood, a smile forming on her lips, and her eyes turning into crescents taking Jimin to the main hall where it was crowded with staff, guards, and guest.

Jimin headed down stairs, hearing conversation after conversation. He knew not to let his mind and his ears into peoples conversations because that would just be impolite and an invasion of personal space. So he made his way to the drink area. Jimin glanced around the room, eyes now tracking his parents that exited the ball with guards. He watched knowing that he needn't have to fret and turned back to someone who waited for Jimin to ask for a drink.
He met eyes with the person and immediately apologized for paying the staff no attention, being busy with looking at his parents leave.

Jimin held the wine glass to the staff who poured red wine in his glass. Red wine was Jimin's favorite, if he could find anything else better then it he'd give it up. Luckily he hasn't. He bowed thanking the staff that bowed back, turning his attention to a crowd of students that where stepping in the building.

Jimin decided to stand his ground and drink his red wine with one hand in his pocket and the other firmly holding the glass. After a few sips his eyes caught an brown haired male that seemed to be with his friends and some guards. Jimin thought for a second, this man must be high in his class, though all he's seen was guards around him. Could he?

Jimin didn't think of it too much knowing the amount of people that arrived to the ball, it had now officially started.
