𝟗- 𝘞𝘩𝘰'𝘴 𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴?

Days have passed since Jimin arrived in the Stygian Kingdom, time was slipping through his fingers like sand, and the Alasgarian Prince spends his quality time staying in his shared room with the Stygian king who rarely shows into the room as if he forbid himself from facing his husband but Jimin was grateful for that more than he was to the talkative maid who plays the role of his nonstop entertainer, her name is lia, a beautiful beta with a tongue faster than light that never stops moving like the universe

and when he gets a headache from her, he went to sit with the Queen who is the only likable person in the palace but the girl who Jimin knows at this point probably hates him glued to the Queen's side made it hard for Jimin to spend more time with her

There was one thing Jimin was deathly curious about, where the hell Taehyung is spending all of this time without anyone noticing that the last time they talked to each other was their wedding night or the little no conversation they had on the morning feast, according to Jimin's observation he sleeps in the study which is connected to their bedroom and leaves before Jimin wakes up as lia had mentioned

"King always leaves the room early in the morning for the training, I know it must be hard for you, he spends so less time with you because of the upcoming war, his majesty"

even though Jimin is a bookworm and according to lia the collection of books in the King's study is worth dying Jimin didn't let his curiosity take the best of him and respected the boundaries the Stygian King may have created, and the more Jimin stays away from Taehyung the more it is better for him but he doesn't know one thing and never cared to think about, How long is he gonna run from Taehyung and his fate? One way or another he has to face him, he was bounded with him forever and he can't avoid him or stay away from him till his death, but who's gonna tell him one little pull of destiny and he'll fall right into the other like a miracle of fate which brought them together.

Jimin furiously sighed walking into the room which was empty as usual, he was tired of hearing everyone calling him the mate of the King when he is not, he untied the knots of his gown with annoyed groans dying to get that evil gown off of his body, throwing tantrums like a child he was, thrown into the world of adults with no directions or guidance, where everyone expects so much from him and nothing at the same time, he was stuck in a labyrinth with no way out going back and forth, then ending up back in one place and it was all so frustrating how he was the only one affected by it

this cruel bond only changed his life and everyone here is living like they used to be nothing has changed, but everything about him do, even though no one calls him by his name when Taehyung is still on his throne reigning and ruining everyone's lives, he is stuck in his ghostly palace where he can't even call anyone 'mine', but right now he was more than angry at the stupid Stygian maids who made him wear this everyday

They love to dress him up like he's some doll, he curses lia who was having so much fun tightening the strings of his corset and was gushing over how small 'she' makes his waist look, like she is the one who needs to be praised here and Jimin wasn't the one dying with the crushing organs

And with a lot of struggle and pulling he stripped off the first two layers of the fabric which were right above the main evildoer, he turns his hand behind his back trying to reach the end of the strings to pull and free himself from the malicious corset which seems to be more lost than Jimin himself was but before Jimin could brawl more with himself

the man that was standing quietly in the doorframe, away from Jimin's eyes watched him struggle with it for a while yet he couldn't stop himself from volunteering to help the poor boy, who was in discomfort with the hell-tight corset, his feet made no sound when he approaches the Prince quietly, like a ghost walking into your dreams turning them into a nightmare
