You don't worry about the marriage now V , I'll talk to dad right away , Jiwoo says as she pulls away from the hug wiping her tears . Taehyung chuckles and backs off too as they again sit back on their positions and taehyung says ,

Don't tell uncle anything just now . I want to first make mine and jungkookie's relationship a bit stable then I'll myself tell everyone about us , Jiwoo hums .

Anything you say , silence fills the two as they sit there admiring the sky . Taehyung feels like a heavy weight being lifted up his shoulders as he finally is free to shower the boy in love with all his might without thinking about betraying someone . He is happy . Jiwoo softly smiles as she sits there admiring taehyung's side profile . To her , the boy looks pretty calm and content and she is grateful of him for thinking about her even though he is so in love with the boy .

I'll get going then , taehyung says as they chat random things for a while . Jiwoo nods . Taehyung smiles and hugs her one last time before standing up , he promises to meet soon and walks out of the backyard . Jiwoo follows him and taehyung finally leaves the kingdom after bidding his goodbye to everyone . Though queen insisted him on having lunch but he refused politely . They wave him off and finally Jiwoo sighs , her eyes never leaving the retrieving figure , her lips holding onto that soft smile as much as she can . Once he is out of sight , she walks back to her room . No one can predict that the storm is currently destroying princess' heart .

She closes the door behind and slumps on the bed face first . Finally tears start streaming down her cheeks but that smile never leaves her lips . Yes , one sided love hurts the most . She is so in love with him but who wouldn't . Taehyung is such a gentleman , his pure soul , his way of treating her , his unique smile , his charms , his bravery , everything is enchanting and she is just unable to hold herself back from falling in love with him .

Being best friends they had promised each other to never fall in love , it was her who made him promise but when her dad told her that him and Taehyung's dad wants to take their friendship to another level and marry them together long ago , she let herself loose , she let herself feel the feeling of love . She let herself live him more than her best friend and she never knew when she got so deep in love that it's quite hard to come back up now . It was not her intention to fall but the situation and the fact that they were going to get married eventually made her fall for him . But to her nothing matters more than his happiness and she will never ever come in between the two , doesn't matter if that costs her , her own peace . That's how much she loves him .

I am tired , yoongi mumbles as he sits beside jungkook on the river side , jimin and hoseok following him , panting heavily . The boy chuckles looking at his hyungs and shakes his head .

You guys are well trained fighters , still you are eating air like a dying bird , he laughs making them chuckle too . The boy is just too adorable for nothing .

He passes them all the bottles of water and gets himself his banana milk . Looking ahead , he sets his eyes on the water flowing steadily . The calmness the surface emits can never depict the storm inside . The water surface is too pleasant and peaceful to watch with a deep sigh but no one knows the unheard voice of the layers forming deep inside just like jungkook's existence . From above , his face , his expressions seems to be happy , calm and bubbly but deep down there is a storm going on . A storm of guilt , a storm of sorrow , a storm of revenge that no one has any idea of . Jungkook can relate himself to the nature in any situation and he finds it amusing , the beauty of nature is incomparable afterall .

Hyung , jungkook voices out as he turns to yoongi who looks at him with questioning eyes .

What is it princess ? Yoongi can say there is something bothering jungkook . Other two get attentive too .

You do know that someone attacked the kingdom that day , yoongi hums , who can it be hyung ? He asks making yoongi go silent . I know none of you ever tried to get me into the royal problems and threats but hyung you may know something , was there something going on in the kingdom ? The questions make yoongi silent . He doesn't know how to answer . Looking ahead , he gets lost in his thinking before saying ,

As much as i know princess , there was no one who will go to this extent to harm our kingdom . Though some controversies were going on lately but i can assure you that it has nothing to do with that attack cause the controversies were not that serious and your majesty were dealing with them , jungkook hums .

I never told this to anyone but hyung whenever I think of them i feel like the biggest failure of my life . I know it's not anyone's fault but i had to be there for them at that time , they needed me and all i was doing was roaming in the forest , how path-

Don't you dare princess , before he can complete the sentence , a low growl startles the four of them as they look back . There stands taehyung , all furious . But why ? Jungkook thinks as he stands up followed by everyone .

Don't you dare call yourself any filthy names Princess Jeon Jungkook , you hear me ? The authority , the demand and the rage in taehyung's voice makes jungkook shiver as he looks down unable to maintain that intense eye contact .

You are perfect as you are . I know you feel low of yourself but that's the past and even the painful past becomes meaningful when you put efforts to correct your mistakes and you are doing the same . So stop thinking of yourself so low  . You are precious to so many people , jungkook hears everything with his head hung low .

But i failed everyone , as a son , as a brother and as a prince , he mumbles . Taehyung steps ahead and holds him by his shoulders before saying ,

Look up princess , jungkook looks up . There is a soft smile adoring taehyung's features making jungkook sigh . How beautiful taehyung looks at that moment , so pure , so pretty , so in love that jungkook finds himself unable to take his eyes off .

See everyone faces some downfalls , some failures but winners are the only people who walk past those failures with a lesson . Trust me you got your lesson and you are working on improving yourself then how can you be any low , my baby highness ? Jungkook finds himself at the loss of words as taehyung simply smiles and tucks his pretty hairs behind his ears before backing away .

Jungkook blinks . How can someone be so good at words . He himself is very good with words but taehyung , when it comes to make someone feel proud of themselves , no one can beat taehyung but maybe this feature of taehyung is present only for jungkook , we never know .
