⚜REST WITHIN ME⚜ [Namjin] [Taekook] (Under Editing)

|*__10__*|

Some days go without any speciality. The same Scottish flags flapping on the poles, the same squad marching rounds and rounds. Only thing remarkable is that the King has fallen madly in love with the prince that he'll do anything.. literally ANYTHING, to protect his love. Day by day Seokjin's anger and disgust reduced. The fear about Namjoon, the ignorance, rejection finally ceases down as long as Namjoon doesn't cross his limits. Daily, in the throne room, Seokjin is impressed by the latter's kingship. The way Namjoon handle some issues, the way he stands against the crimes , the hospitality , accurate foresight about the future and mainly the way he looks at him. Before many decades, Seokjin did not like that gaze. But now, after a month, he slowly calms his mind, adapting for those eyes. Anyhow, Price Taehyung hangs out with Seokjin moreover, trying to endure the pain caused by Jungkook. Jisoo had sent a letter informing that she decided to lengthen the days in Spain. Seokjin replies her, his letter implying more satisfaction rather than whining .)
(The neighing of the three horses gallop through the village paths, people clearing up for their royalty. Namjoon takes the lead as the black stallion, he rides gallops with pride. Royal blue robes dressed with the magnificent crown on his head makes it hard to believe his existence. To his ride side, riding a brown mare, Taehyung smiles at children who waves for them. The aroma of village food runs through their nostrils, watering their mouths as well. To the left of Namjoon, Seokjin beams a huge smile as the ivory stallion neighs playfully with him. Gently caressing him, Seokjin pets it with an unknown language. )

-We'll be setting to the woods first of all.

-Don't we needs guards with us? I mean it's only three of us wandering alone...in Scottish woods.

- You have your sword beside you right Seokjin?

-I'm equipped every second.!

-Well then... We won't need the accompany of knights for extra protection.

-ab...My lord! I..I need to go back. I forgot to bring my archery stuff.
(Namjoon pulls the reigns and the other two does the same)

-Well..we can't go hunting without bows. Will you join us afterwords Taehyung?

- Yup! Join us Tae!

-Uh...Alright.. I'll be back.

-is it okay Tae? Can you track us??

-Don't forget you're talking to
a Scottish about his own country woods. He know the way!
(Taehyung shoots a boxy smile at Namjoon who shows his dimples)

-Don't let Seokjin wander alone in woods Sire....he'll go all bonkers!

-You got me Taehyung!
(Seokjin chuckles loudly and waves for the prince who turns his horse and gallops away)

-Soo...It's you and me then. Care for a race?

-You're asking from a Roman your highness. We are born for horse races.
(With a chuckle he speeds off. Namjoon smiles heartily and follows him; reducing the speed of the fastest horse on purpose)

______

Taehyung halts in a midway and looks back. Spotting no one staring back at him, he gets down from his horse and guide it towards the village stables)

-Rebecca, Sweetheart.. You can rest here till I return..mm?
(He ties her reigns to a pole and caresses her muzzle before heading towards the owner to pay the relevant amount of gold. Taehyung pulls a Cape from his side bag and dresses himself, to cover his identity. He walks towards the florist first of all to ask about Jungkook)

-Um..Excuse me Ma'am. Could you please give me some information about a young man named Jeon Jungkook who once served as a knight. Do you know his whereabouts?
(The old woman judges from head to toe of this stranger and later on shakes her head, likely to avoid his eyes)

-No..No one here by that name.

-oh! Sorry..
(Taehyung bows to her lowly and moves towards the next stall. But every local gave the same answer. 'Nope', 'Never heard about him' and stuff. He was about to give up after going rounds in the village but out of blue a boy catches his pinky which made him look down. The little kid has the same gray doe eyes, sandy-brown messy hair and the same cuteness. Taehyung crouches down and smiles at him who stares from those innocent big eyes)

-You K..know m..my brother??

-Mm..Sorry?
(Taehyung gently holds his grabby hands who looks around with doe eyes. The older hears a little groan from the kid's flat tummy which makes him pout)

- You hungry??
(The little one gulps his saliva and nods once. Taehyung picks him up and walks towards the bakery to buy him some honey cakes.)

-Here you go..
(Taehyung places him on the ground and hands the bread who stares at it with doe eyes. But the little boy doesn't take it, yet drools over the aromatic freshly baked starch.)

-Ju.. Jungkook thold m-me not to take food from s-strangers.
( The younger fidgets with his tiny fingers, hardly ignoring his rumbling tummy. Taehyung almost drops the bread, hearing the familiar name he's been dying to meet)

-J..Junkook..Do-Do you know Jungkook?

-Yeah...He'sh my b-brother.
(He sniffles, those eyes wandering all over the surrounding. Taehyung licks his dry lips, gus heart thumping inside his rib cage. He needs to find Jungkook. He wants to meet him. It's been almost a month and still Taehyung won't forget his saviour)

-ab...I-I like to meet your brother, little one. Can you take me to your house.

-B-But who are you??
(Taehyung giggles at his effortless cuteness and pokes his tummy making him giggle back)

-Take me to your brother. I'm a friend of his.

-N-Not a.. stranger??

-Nope... Cross my heart...
(He offers the bread again with the sweetest smile he could give. The boy take the bread with a grin and begin to munch it slowly which makes Taehyung coo at his cuteness)
"Is it good?"

-Yesh...
(He holds Taehyung's pinky and drags him across the pathway, sweetly humming while he swallows the cake. Step by step Taehyung's heart shivers with ecstasy upon the thought of meeting his 'friend'. Walking about a mile he figures that the civilisation is moving away from them. The two enters a narrow path which directs towards the wild. But as Taehyung witnesses some dry footsteps on the mud, he relaxes his mind. Next few steps lead ends near a shabby little cottage. Fresh water runs beside, like a blue wail and bloomed flowers and vegetables gives the old shelter a little charm. But for Taehyung none of those natural vibes are breath taking as his eyes fix on someone. A young man in mid twenties. His tight muscles sparkling with beads of sweat and rays of sun reflecting his strength. The raven-coloured hair falling messily over his face. Pearls of sweat coat his forehead and with every action of the axe chopping the collected wood into two halves,he grunts.)

-Brother....
(Hearing the little kid's happy yelp out of blue Jungkook looks up. His dried features vanishing, giving birth to the cutest smile ever. Taehyung, who was drooling over the hotness of the man jumps out of skin by the sudden yell. He doesn't get caught by Jungkook as the little boy runs towards his brother just like the pebbles skipping across the river. Jungkook catches his small jump and raises him up earning giggles. )

-Jung hyun.... Had fun with your friends.. mm?
(He pinches his cheeks who nods with a beaming grin. But Jungkook's eyebrows twitch with concern as he leans closer to his cute face)
"B..Bread crumbs..Jung hyun, when did you eat bread? W-who gave you??"
(Jungkook paniks much more than Taehyung thought that he still didn't spot his staring at him. Jung Hyun points at him at last and then, at the very moment....
their eyes meet. Jungkook succeeds on holding that little boy from falling. But he just couldn't believe his own eyes. Taehyung pulls off the Cape and marches toward the stunned boy with a slight smile)

-T-Taehyung!?
(Taehyung chuckles under his breathe and nods)

-You're not hallucinating ...Long time no see Jungkook!?
