2 days later :-

Come back soon kids , jin says with tears in his eyes as he bid goodbye to the three . No matter how hard he tries , he has grown addicted to jungkook and yoongi's presence in just a week of them staying here and now as they are leaving the kingdom , he just can't get the grip of all of his emotions overflowing in him .

Namjoon chuckles and shakes his head at his dramatic Queen . Once the trio is out of sight , he turns to jin and embraces him , softly patting his back as he hears him mumble ,

Joon they are gone , I'll miss them a lot , namjoon just smiles softly as he replies ,

Baby they will be back here very soon , yeah ? Now come on . Let's get back to our room , you have some cuddles to offer , jin chuckles and pulls away before smacking namjoon's chest as he says ,

We have a meeting with ministers in 15 minutes you pervert , namjoon laughs and kisses jin's forehead before they both walk to the throne room .

🤍🤍🤍

As he walks , he can sense the familiar fragrance of the soil mixed with the gentle breeze . He can sense the feeling of being home , that giddy , carefree , child like feel of happiness though he knows there is nothing remaining and not a single being to welcome him back home but still he is happy .

They take the west side entry of the forest to reach the kingdom territory , purely to avoid the little garden he has made around the graves of his loved ones . He has made them a promise , a promise to not return back sad , a promise to not return back empty handed and he will not face them unless he does so .

Jungkook sighs . The homely feeling settling in as he takes in a deep breath . The air , the soil , the flowers , the sky everything reminding him of his long lost happy days . Oh how euphoric he used to be while roaming in the streets free of stress , greeting anyone and everyone coming in his view and collecting all the love getting showered on him . He was literally their happy princess but now look at him , having nothing to call as home , the homesickness settling in despite being at home feels tragic and as if sensing him right , taehyung stands right beside him and holds him by the waist , guiding him inside as he nods , encouraging the other as he had promised , others following .

They reach the palace of Kingdom Zeus with a teary eyed jungkook . Taehyung makes him sit on the couch as he settles in front of him on his knees , holding his hand softly and letting their interwined hands rest in jungkook's lap as he says ,

Oh my pretty baby highness , don't be teary eyed . You know why we are here right ? Me , you , yoongi hyung , jimin , hoseok and Jiwoo . Everyone is here for you , to see you happy then don't cry for us please , the softness his voice holds make jungkook want to cry even more . Yeah everyone has talked to him in baby tone always but whenever taehyung talks to him , there is different kind of comfort oozing out of his words and eyes that jungkook can't simply point out . He nods and wipes his tears .

Looking at everyone he smiles . He can't be more grateful for having such beautiful people in his life .

At first when he told taehyung that he wants to know the culprit in the backyard , taehyung was all ready to do anything but jungkook was not himself ready . He needed to complete his training first and he did . Yeah he trained himself in just a week . Doesn't matter how inexperienced you are , if you have motivation to learn , time is just a number . It was jungkook's idea to involve Jiwoo in this cause he is well aware of her intelligence and he doesn't want her to be left out and she agreed wholeheartedly . It was her idea to start everything from where it was left destroyed so here they are in kingdom Zeus , all set to solve the mystery that destroyed everything in just a span of hours .

Taehyung drops jungkook to his room after everyone leave to theirs and he close the door behind . Standing at the closed door , he sighs . He can't just bear even a single drop of tear in those eyes and today his baby was on the verge of crying , he felt awful . He sighs . He can't simply take away the emotions from within jungkook but he can promise that he will always be there for his baby highness in all ups and downs .

Tae , he looks at the direction to see jimin standing there . He smiles and walks to him as jimin saya ,

Don't worry he will be fine , the reassuring words shocks taehyung as he asks ,

How do y- ,

Well i am you best friend since forever . I know how and what you feel , taehyung chuckles and hugs jimin . Damn he is so happy and grateful to have such people in his life .

🤍🤍🤍

The next morning :-

They all gather in the living room after getting done with their morning routine and settle down , waiting for the breakfast to be ready . Yoongi and hoseok being the incharge of the food , Jiwoo being there helping them . The other three are present there just to devour .

Once settled on the dinning table , taehyung clears his throat and says,

You may start the meal , everyone rolls their eyes at his antics as he tries to mimic those movies where it is shown that royals never eat unless it is permitted by their head .

Ok , time for some introductions everyone , the attention again goes back to taehyung as he says ,

Princess Jiwoo meet my two best friends aka my life . Mr Park Jimin and Mr Jung Hoseok , he says pointing towards the two and Jiwoo narrows her eyes . Silence fills the place before Jiwoo stands up all excited and claps her hands as she asks ,

For real ? Finally you are introducing me to those two gems of yours , for real taehyung ? Her excitement being on another level as she jumps up and down . Everyone laugh .

Hello there the gems duo . Finally . All the time since yesterday i thought you were jungkookie's friends but turns out you are the two huh . Taehyung always tried to hide you two from everyone and i am so glad he introduced me to you , she just can't contain herself in making the two flustered while yoongi and jungkook looks at her amused . How can a girl who seems so serious and sophisticated can be so lively too .

But i met them way earlier , infact jungkook did too and trust me they ain't sane , yoongi sassily says as he takes a bite making Jiwoo to settle down . The two look at the boy all offended who just doesn't give a fuck to anything . The silence yet again fills the hall until jungkook laughs out loud at how silly yoongi sounded . Everyone joins him and the palace is once again happy to hear those giggles as the parrots and birds who are feeling all lovely fly across to inform the nature that the palace is once again filled with life . Oh how magical that laugh of theirs sound .
