⚜REST WITHIN ME⚜ [Namjin] [Taekook]

|*__9__*|

Next morning.

(Seokjin grumbles under his breathe and shifts to the left side. The morning sun rays disturb him in every way he turns. So,with a Latin curse he opens his eyes and groans.)

-By the name of Mount Edna...wh..what's wrong inside my head!?
(He raises from his elbows and squint his eyes, recalling where he was. The same messy room of his. Yup! He's sure that it's his bedroom)
"H..How am..I on my bed? Gods, my head!
(Eventhough he tries his best to recall yesterday night, nothing reaches his mind. As if he has eaten something from underworld, his memory of yesterday's night has been erased)
"Fuck, I feel numb! Must be the drinks, yeah, must be the drinks..."
(But...he stands on his feet and takes slow steps towards the lavatory )

______

Taehyung pov..

(The god damn party ended few hours before I woke up. I'm always on time.. so yh! I wakes up sharp at seven every day. Though the dream I had of...Jungkook was um...not much clear. It was him. I swear by Jesus. His eyes were the only things I recalled when I woke up. He's a big cold ass...but I could never forget the way his eyes made me alive that night. He saved me fr. We could be .....friends? Yh..it'll be an honour to be his friend. I am being dressed by the maids when a knock is heard. It's him....)

-Come in.
(As soon as the door opens and my guard steps inside with a blank face, I couldn't conceal my smile)

-Sire..

-Glad you show up Jungkook. G'morning... I'm ready. Let's head out to woods..we-

-Sire, hear me out please!
( I glances at him but he remains silent. With a signal of mine, the maids leave the room isolating us)

-Yes.

-My lord..I'm resigning.
(When did I last clean my ears?? Did I hear right or is my mind manipulating myself? Resigning!? Lords!! The only one whom I considered as a friend...H..He's leaving me???)

-ab..Resigning?? Well, The r..reason?

-Sir--

-If it's because of what happened earlier, then please remove the memory Jungkook. You're the best guard I've got and I do not want to loose you.
(My puppy eyes lock with his gray ones. But he avoids mine and clears his throat loudly)

-A letter was sent from village, detailing about my mother's sudden illness, my lord. I..I must go!

-ab..Your m..mother!? Don't you have any relatives or..siblings perhaps..to look after her?

-My brother is only  5 and they o..only have me f..for a relative.

-Okay..but you will probably return after assuring her health..right?
(Please answer my question Jungkook....I don't wannh let you go. But he gives me the silent treatment by unbuckling his belt and placing the sword on the table)

- I served my royalty as I could. But now,my mother needs me. I don't want to run from responsibilities as a son. The king gave me the permission sire. I came to inform you and return my sword.
(He bows before me and looks at my eyes. But I avoid him)

-Fi...Fine. Just g..go! What a..are you waiting for? Your'e allowed t..to leave this palace.
(Thank the gods, I managed to hold my tears. My voice sounded so cold,but my heart..)

-Take care of yourself Prince Taehyung.
( Won't I see these gray eyes ever? I can't let you go Jungkook. For once we lock eyes. And they mean something. His eyes are filled with some kinda feeling which gives me butterflies. But he turns around and leaves the room just like that day when he did not look back at me. I look down after his departure. My eyes sting with tears. As if my soul being crushed under heavens, I feel so empty. I did not know this simple knight would change my life..But Jeon Jung Kook did...and...I lost him again)
