"Slowly, the food won't be running off anywhere buddy." Jimin giggles saying while patting the rabbit "I love being here!" Wooyoung shouts in happiness making Jimin laugh "You need to calm down Woo.." Jimin replies as Wooyoung ran to her and showed her a cute little rat "Look at this guy! Isn't he cute?" "It might bite-"

"No, Jimin! No!" Wooyoung stops her from throwing it away "You do that, I will hate you more than anyone! It won't injure me, I have been playing with him since I came in here and am I injured?" Wooyoung pauses showing Jimin her arms and neck "No! Nothing, right? That is because it's harmless!" Jimin sighs and looks at its eyes and exhales again.

"You are coming with us." Jimin says and gave it back to Wooyoung "Thank you!!" Wooyoung squeals in happiness "Now go feed and clean the rest! Quick!" Wooyoung nods and takes a towel and a bucket full of water and quickly goes to the shelter "I am going in the shelter, Jim! Don't look for me!" She shouts as Jimin replies with a hum. "Park Jimin?" Jimin turned back after hearing her name as she saw their unnie

"Unnie, what brings you here?" "I thought you ladies won't be starting your work today so I came here to take care of the animals when I saw you, but where is Wooyoung?" Jimin points to the shelter "IN THE SHELTER!?" She shouts shocked "Y-yes? Why?" "Oh, God! She can't take care of the animals in that shelter!" Jimin and Jiwoo (caretaker) quickly ran to the shelter to see Wooyoung sitting on the ground with water all over her "Oh no.. Woo! Where are you hurt?" Jimin hurries to her

"Didn't I tell you two not to go there?" "No, you haven't unnie.." Wooyoung whispers as Jiwoo closes her eyes and exhales "I haven't..? I apologize! I openly apologize-" "It's alright unnie, everyone makes mistakes.. Not just you." Wooyoung gives her a warm smile as Jimin helps her and looks at Jiwoo "I will take care of this, you go help Wooyoung clean up!" Jimin nods and drags Wooyoung out.

"Are you alright? Did they boot you anywhere?" "No.. One of them threw the bucket at me when I kept it on the floor. Nothing else!" Jimin nods and saw a pool nearby "Let's go there!" Jimin says pointing at the pool "Alright" they run there and Jimin makes Wooyoung sit on the stone as she takes out a towel and wets it in the water "Wipe your face and your arms and legs." Wooyoung smiles and does what she said

"I told you to not come with me. I could've been dealing with all these by myself-" "So you are saying that I should let go of my only family when that person knows that I don't have parents? Hmm?" Jimin sighs and gives her a peck on the forehead "I didn't indicate it that manner.. I don't want your life to get consumed because of me."  Wooyoung laughed "It will never be, to be honest, I don't care. I have you." 

"Oi, Ladies!" They turned around to see the owner of the voice and see a muscular man with a uniform on and holding a black rod. "Are you lost?!" By his accent, they did recognize he was from Busan "No! We're good! Thank you for the concern!" "Don't mention it! Hey, let's have a chat!" Wooyoung wraps her arm around Jimin's as Jimin smiles and nods to the man "Don't worry, he must be a guard from his uniform." 

"Where do you live?" "Across the hill, over there." Jimin points out the small hut as the guard nods and looks at Wooyoung who was clinging to Jimin "You sister?" Jimin looked at Wooyoung and nodded "Younger sister." He nods "Thank you for your time, needs to confirm everyone is secure, well that's my duty." Jimin nods and giggles as the guard smiles "Both of you have pretty faces, be safe."  Jimin and Wooyoung bow as he bows back  and leaves 

"See? Why were you so afraid of him?" "There are bad people in life." "No, there aren't. Everyone is human.. There is no such thing as bad people or good people, they are just people who do bad things and people who do good things." (this line is extracted from the book 'It ends with us') Jimin lectures Wooyoung as Wooyoung nods and they start walking back to the shelter as they saw Jiwoo coming out of there perfectly fine.

"Are you alright?" Wooyoung nodded at Jiwoo's question as Jiwoo smiles "You two can go back, I took care of everything. Go home and rest, okay?" They nod and give her a bow "Thank you unnie. Bye!" Jiwoo nods and part ways as Jimin and Wooyoung start walking back home "Wanna visit the palace?" Wooyoung asks wiggling her eyebrows, earning a smack from Jimin "You are that courageous, you owe my respect." Wooyoung gives her a ringing laugh 

"I was just fooling around!" Jimin rolls her eyes and they interlock their arms together "I don't know why but whenever I think about my mother... I feel like going back to her... But what she did cannot be forgiven, don't you think?" She asks looking at Wooyoung who gave her a pout "Well, I wouldn't have let that slide but. You should've listened to her explanation-" "If she would've something to explain! Besides, she wanted to get me married off to a stranger whom I never met or saw. How could a mother do that and that too, to their daughter?!" 

"I understand but.. You know what, leave this. Forget about it. We are having a new life here, why should we think about the past? Forget it!" Wooyoung says giving her a hug as Jimin smiles and exhales, breaking the hug "Alright, let's forget the past. Now, let's quickly get home before the sun goes down." Wooyoung nods and they continue walking.
****************************************************************

"Yes, your highness. Everything is secured." Jungkook's father paces back and forth as Jungkooka and his mother look at him confused "What's wrong with you?" She asks after getting frustrated just watching him "Nothing." "A king never lies. Did you forget that?" She reminds in a frustrated tone "Jungkook should be secured today.. Today is the day when his shields will be coming.." "Whose shields?" Jungkook asks "Someone. Forget it." 

"Go to your room and rest. Your friends will be here soon." His mother says smiling as she kissed his forehead "You are the soon-to-be king.. There will be lots of danger for you but it will all pass soon." Jungkook nodded and bowed to his parents before leaving the throne room. 

"Fuck this! Fuck that! FUCK EVERYTHING!" Jungkook shouts throwing all the pillows on the ground, throwing his head back in anger as Jin could see his red eyes and his veins popping out of his head "What's wrong? I told you that your anger should be controlled now. You are the soon-" "I apologize to cut you off hyung but don't communicate about that right now. I don't wanna listen to that shit until it's my time to be crowned." Jin looks at his eyes and sighs "You need to breathe because you know I won't be handling you without others." 

"What's wrong?" Jin asks as he sees Jungkook finally calming down "Everything.. Everything just feels wrong and inappropriate for some reason- I-I- I just don't want anyone worrying about me or anything in my life even if it's my parents.. If terrorists strike, I want to take care of it myself with my shields. I don't want my parents concerned." Jin smiles and kisses his forehead "Is that why you are angry?" He nods as Jin laughs 

"Now I actually want to look for a wife for you, because you are one dumbass I have ever seen- Like Jungkook! Wake up! You will be the KING soon and I get it is frustrating to have your parents involved but they know best just like how your grandparents did." Jungkook rolls his eyes "I loved all your words in that sentence except the part of having a partner- You know I hate love from the bottom of my heart!" "If you hate love then you don't have a heart." Jungkook looks at him with a 'done' face as Jin laughs 

"I said that because you don't 'love' your parents then! Because you 'hate' 'love." Jin imitated as Jungkook smiles "I of course love them, it's just that.. Love differs.." "And neither did you include which 'Love' you meant." "Just continue loving Namjoon hyung, okay?" They laugh and have a drink together while discussing Jungkook's future. "Don't you make stupid rules or else I am booting your ass." Jungkook laughs but soon it fades away as they heard a shout.. that belonged to none other than his..

Beloved mother ...
