Prince in disguise ~ Jikook

[03] Fresh Bloom

Minutes passed and the brown haired left to an nearby store to get supplies to clean the cut. At this point Jimin chose to accept it, The brown haired was really self conscious after the incident and the least he could do was help Jimin out.

Before he left he introduced Jimin to his friend named Namjoon, the tall male had dirty blonde hair, dressed in a T-shirt, jacket, jeans and sneakers. Jimin assumed that's how most people dressed because, it was all that caught his eye. The blonde offered to get jimin's order which he found nice of him to, he guessed that the blonde haired knew he was injured and didn't want it to attract too much people. Though it might have already did when Jimin and the brown haired bumped into each other.

"Here." He passed Jimin his order. "Thank you." The brunette took it and sipped on the drink, his eyes lit up in delight from the taste of the drink so he continued to drink it, it tasted nothing like what he drank at home. "I'm sorry this happened again."

"It's okay, it was just a small incident." Jimin hissed once more, he didn't know such little things could hurt so bad. He kept the pressure carefully on the cut, hands piled on top of each other, carefully he stood up, his eyes traced from his hands to the door to see the brown haired. "Namjoon, he's outside now." Namjoon heard and got up from the booth walking towards the door with Jimin.

"Can we take this to your place? Cit- people can be nosy these days."

"Of course."

Jungkook watched the brunette clean himself up with the cotton ball and alcohol, he sat on his butt placing his hands together nervously, waiting for a sort of response or assurance, almost anything at this point. "Do you- need help?" The brown haired eyes where furrowed in concern and compassion. "It's alright, by the way, I didn't catch your name."
Jimin's voice soothed around Jungkook, the brown haired felt that he didn't need to be nervous as much as his palpitating heart slowed to a steady beat. "Jeon Jungkook.." though Jungkook's heart was steadied he kept his gaze low being too anxious to look and the brunette.

Jimin placed an small bandage on the side of his waist. "That's a nice name, Park Jimin." Jimin tried to lighten the males mood, patting his shirt down the pain lessened and he was able to talk without hissing and walk comfortably. "I also.. bought you another shirt.." the brown haired pulled it out of the bag. "I didn't know your size.. I-I'm sorry if it doesn't fit, I'll return it." He stammered a bit being shy. "Don't worry, I'll be okay." Jimin was handed the blouse from the taller's hands, which he took gracefully. "May I use the bathroom?"

"Yeah, it's um.. over there." Jungkook pointed to the direction of the bathroom, He changed his ripped blouse with a bit of blood, to the one Jungkook bought him. Though it didn't feel like his original one it was better than wearing a torn one with blood on it.

This was a first for Jimin, he's never wore any type of clothes other then the ones his parents gave him, so it felt different, everything was different, the clothes, and shops so far. This was also exciting Jimin because it would be new for him to.

Jimin walked out of the bathroom with his nicely folded blouse that was ruined. "I have to go now, thank you for everything." The smaller bowed to the brown haired who was getting up. "Will I see you again?" The brown haired asked, doe eyes showing with sparkle in them.

"I cannot say you will.." Jimin said in a low tone, he needed to find himself a partner, like he promised to his parents. He said he would bring back someone he's interested in. He even remembered his dad's words I know you'll do the right thing. Jimin knew what he had to do, it wouldn't hurt to have an friend though.

"But, we can be friends, if you'd like..and we could.. start again."A smile appeared on both of the boys face. Jungkook nodded and they exchanged numbers. The event that happened would be remembered, but it wouldn't hurt to start again.

Jimin made it home after the moment he had with the taller and his friend, deciding to call his brother that he could tell almost anything, he was his only best friend after all. Yes he's had friends in the castle but they're visits where limited.

"So Jimin-ah, how was it?" Tae said in exhilaration.

"Terrible, nothing how I visualized nor savor it was going to be." Taehyung giggled through the device making Jimin smile chuckling a bit afterwards. "Don't laugh at me." The smaller didn't mean his word, he liked that his brother shared a laughing moment with him.

"Aish Jimin-ah, you should get some help with cooking."

"I could.." Jimin suddenly remembered. "Ah I will Tae, I've made a friend today maybe he knows how to cook."

"Oh really? Name?"

"Jungkook, Jeon Jungkook, we've met in front of the restrooms at the coffee place that was well reviewed. I was impressed by the place and the servings. Though leaving early wasn't expected."

"Why is that?" Tae wondered.

Jimin chuckled remembering the incident "well I got the slightest cut, but don't worry! I'm fine now." Jimin had to assure the boy who was probably going to rant about it.

"Who did it?"

"Jungkook." Tae gasped, "the male you met today?!" At that moment Jimin's hand met his head. "Yes Taehyung. It was an accident though, he apologized immediately." The smaller reminded his brother. "Is he's an cadet?"

"Aish Tae, I don't know that kind of information yet, we've just met." His brother tsked across the phone. "Okayy Jimin-ssi. Let me know when you find out."

"Yeah, okay Taehyung." A smile appeared unknowingly on Jimin's lips. The brunette heard Taehyung being called from his mother, and the smile disappeared. "That's your que." Jimin said. "Yep, see you soon Jimin-ah." Taehyung said his name in a long enthusiastic manner before hanging up. "Yeah, you too." Jimin placed the phone down on his bed as it faced downwards onto the mattress, laying the rest of his body on his bed. He gazed up at the ceiling for a minute just to do so.

How was Jimin going to find his love interest? The brunette knew this was going to be challenging and he didn't want to download dating apps, he found those unappealing.

As excited Jimin thought of the world to be, he was losing hope in finding an partner. And it made him question, would it be better without a queen? Did he really need a queen to be a king as well? Or wait till he's king? But he had already made the promise to his parents. 

But it seems that some changes had to be made and it may take longer than expected for the brunette. Being disguised was a lot harder than already being loved at the castle from many females that found interest in him. But now the brunette also had to learn a few things.
