PRINCE | A JIKOOK FF |

| Chapter : 11 |

"I apologize..?" Jimin asks shocked as she looks at Wooyoung who was also stunned as Mr. Jeon sighs "I have noticed that you two can do many things. Which includes cooking and nursing. I would love to have you ladies work for us. But... Only in your approval." Jimin and Wooyoung put their spoons down as they rub their hand together "Umm.. Wooyoung, here, doesn't know much about cooking.. So, is she necessary?" The couples (Jeon and Choi) laugh except Jungkook and San as they looked at Jimin and Wooyoung with proud eyes 

"You two are enough for only nursing. If Wooyoung has trouble in how to cook, it's of course alright! Not everyone is good in everything." Mrs. Choi reassures as Jimin nods and smiles looking at Wooyoung who looked at her with 'I won't leave you alone' eyes, Jimin looks at them with a small smile "Umm.. It's a sudden topic.. So, to make the decision I would need 1 day to think about it. If you grant me some time." They nod "Take all your time. Even if you need more than a day, you can take your time. We'll wait." Jimin head bows "Thank you." 

"You need to decide well, you two." Mrs. Jeon says as she puts her spoon down and looks at them as they look at her "You will have to take care of these two, I mean you will be divided to do so." She says pointing at Jungkook and San who didn't dare look up and sat there without any emotions "They will be irritating, or in an injury, or whatever. You need to consider that. And most notably.." She pauses and exhales "You can never quit once you begin working here, I apologize but that's our rule. You two will be private maidens, so you certainly cannot quit as you will be familiarized with things that standard maidens didn't witness"

"We will keep that in mind." Wooyoung says as she smiles at her "All right. Now let's finish the food." Mr. Choi says as all of them start eating while San and Jungkook took a secret glimpse of the two worried ladies sitting beside them. 
************************************

"It was great. Thank you for letting us stay in such luxury." Jimin says and bows followed by Wooyoung as the adults laugh "I hope we see you pretty ladies soon." Mrs. Choi says as she chuckles "We will now take our leave." They bow once more as Mrs. Jeon places a kiss on both their cheeks "Return safely." They nod and leave as the guards opened the main gates for them to walk through and closed them after. When they were far enough from the castle Jimin and Wooyoung stopped and looked at each other 

"They left me in a huge stress-" "Park! Jung!" They turn their heads to the right as they saw their unnie running towards them. She arrives and hugs them "Where were you two?! You concerned the hell out of me!" They giggle and hug her "We apologize for concerning you and also not coming for work." She breaks the hug and waves her hand "It's alright. But where were you two?" "In the castle." Her eyes widened "CAS-" They quickly covered her mouth to prevent her from shouting out loud "Keep it down unnie. People shouldn't know about this!" Wooyoung says as she nods

"So.. You two were in the castle and I didn't see you?" They looked at her confused "You work there?" She nods "I am Mrs. Jeon's maiden" "You are..? But you shouldn't share this with us.." "You two were already there. I can share it with you" They nod "Nah ah. Now we are gonna have a long storytime. Let's go." They rush back home as Jimin did notice something about Jiwoo.. She looked nervous and scared which did fear Jimin but not for herself but for Wooyoung.
**********************************

"So all these happened and you didn't call me? Like at all?!" "You were not home at that time. Probably working maybe." Jimin guesses as Jiwoo exhales "Anyways whatever it is. At least there wasn't any offer from them." Jimin and Wooyoung snaps their head up and looked at her as she looked at them confused "Don't tell you did..?" They slowly nod as Jiwoo gasps and facepalms herself "Reject it. Just do it." She says as Jimin sighs and looks at Wooyoung with a small smile

"Woo.. Step out from some time. I need to discuss something important with unnie. Please?" Wooyoung nods and goes to the kitchen "I will make tea for us." Jimin nodded knowing that the kitchen was far enough for the words to not reach there "Unnie-" "I know Jimin. I know you want to agree to it because you might think that they are wealthy and it would benefit you and Wooyoung but I can't le-" "Unnie!" Jimin sits closer to her and rests one of her palms on Jiwoo's shoulder "Relax.."

"They told us the rules." Jimin says as Jiwoo looked at her stunned "They liked you two that much?" Jimin smiles "Maybe. But when they said we can't ever leave it made me question.. I don't have to worry about myself. I am worried about Wooyoung. I told you about Wooyoung now, didn't I? Wooyoung can't go through other pain again at all.." Jiwoo exhales "Whom will you be working for?" "Either the prince or Mr. Choi's son.. We will be selected later." Jiwoo thinks "Didn't you say you slept in the Prince's room?" Jimin nodded hearing Jiwoo's finger snap 

"You are for the prince. He is calm, I must say. He doesn't like ordering around. It won't be bad working with him." She says thinking with a pout as Jimin laid down on the bed and exhaled in annoyance "Just tell me if it's gonna be safe with Woo, unnie." Jiwoo smiles "You two will be more than safe there, Jimin." Wooyoung enters the room and places three cups on the tiny table in front of them "So, is it a yes or a no?" Wooyoung breaks the silence asking as Jiwoo shrugged "I have no idea, ask Jimin." Wooyoung looks at her with a pout as Jimin sits up thinking 

"Woo, will you be happy working for Mr.Choi's son?" Wooyoung shrugged her shoulders "I guess... Yes?" Jimin exhales and takes a sip of her tea as she looked at the tea and thought for a while. She has to think a lot about this.. It's not just an easy decision that could be made.. It's for a lifetime if they go. If they don't then they are free.. "I have decided.." Jimin slowly says as she looked up at their curious eyes "My decision is.." 
******************************************************

"Mother, I don't get it! I already have enough." Jungkook says annoyed as Mrs. Jeon exhales softly and comes forward to hug him but Jungkook backs off "Mother... That was really embarrassing for me because she knows that I have many maidens for myself, why would I suddenly need her?" "Well, that is the reason I told her to take her time to make a decision." Jungkook closes his eyes frustrated and sits down on the couch "You don't get it!" Mrs. Jeon pouts and sits down beside him looking at his side profile "I thought of us becoming friends." 

"Friends..?" Mrs. Jeon laughs as he looked at her "What's so funny?" "Because I do not think you 'just' want to be 'friends' with her." Jungkook gasps "And what makes you think that?" She shrugs her shoulders "Your eyes? Like the way you look at her." She smiles saying casually as if it was nothing as Jungkook shook his head "N-No! Never.. Hold up- Don't tell me you think I seriously like her?" "Even Jimin would've glimpsed." Jungkook threw his head back whining

"It's nothing like that!" Jungkook fake cries in annoyance making Mrs. Jeon laugh "What is it now?" Mrs. Jeon laughed harder "You believed me in that?!" Jungkook looked at her with one eye open and the other closed "What do you mean?" "Your eyes were normal- I was just joking around!" Jungkook quickly looked at her and gasps "Mother!" She smiles and hugs him "Come on, you are my son. Am I not allowed to do jokes on my son?" Jungkook chuckles "Of cour-" 

"Prince! Queen! The King.. He collapsed." Jungkook and Mrs. Jeon quickly stood up in shock "Where is he!?" She asks "We took him to the nursing room but.. the medic is not here today! She called in severely ill.." Mrs. Jeon and Jungkook quickly run to the room to see Mr. Jeon laying down with his eyes closed "No.. Take a bag of ice and bring it here quickly and search the entire city to find a medic! And that too.." 

"A permanent one.."
