"I went back to find you, but you weren't there. And I felt like I was dead. Don't ever do this to me, Taetae," Jimin said, sitting next to him in Jungkook's room. Hobi was busy preparing another room for them.

"I'm sorry, but just like you, I also became unconscious after seeing those giant ghost-like guards," Taehyung said, glancing at Kookie. He was worried that Kook might be upset with him for calling the guards ghosts, but Kook was looking at him expressionlessly.

Taehyung felt a lump in his throat as he nervously swallowed, his heart sinking at the sight of Jungkook's lifeless expression.

"Ya, how did you manage to survive the night without me? You know you can't sleep alone," Jimin teased, causing Taehyung to glance at Jungkook and shyly smile.

Meanwhile, Jungkook's mind was racing with thoughts. He couldn't believe that Jimin had slept with his Tae.

"I managed," Taehyung replied, his cheeks turning a rosy shade as he spoke.

"Tae, do you think he'll just stay quiet and keep staring at us?" Jimin gestured towards the creature.

"You got a problem with me sitting here? If you do, feel free to leave 'cause this is my room," Jungkook said, his eyebrows twitching.

"Oh, sorry," Jimin squealed, but Taehyung couldn't understand why the creature was acting this way. Jungkook is usually so polite, so what happened all of a sudden?

"Your highness, his grace (Hobi) asked for you in the hall," Saeyoon entered the room. Jungkook got up and headed towards the door, and Taehyung couldn't help but feel a bit down because the winged creature never leaves without him.

"His grace asked for you too, your highness," Saeyoon then turned his head towards Tae. Tae stood up and held Jimin's hand while Jungkook, who was waiting at the door for Tae, looked at their hands and left without looking back.

"What's up with him?" Jimin asked about Jungkook who was flying ahead of them.

"I don't know, he's usually so nice. Maybe he's just not feeling well and that's why he's acting strange," Tae replied, his mind filled with thoughts of the kiss Jungkook gave him earlier. He blushed and looked at the creatures with heart eyes.

"Maybe he doesn't like me," Jimin said.

"No way, silly," Taehyung immediately shook his head. Jungkook is so nice, how can he hate someone?

They made their way to the hall, where Hobi and Jin were also present, laughing and smiling while engaged in conversation.

"Oh, they're here!" Jin exclaimed, his eyes lighting up as he noticed the arrival of Jimin and Taehyung.

"Yesss! I've got a room all set up for you," Hobi chimed in, a smile on his face.

"Jinnie said you guys are cool with sharing a room." Jimin and Taehyung exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

"This is your room!" Hobi exclaimed, leading them into a spacious and stunningly beautiful space.

"And it's just a jump away from ours, so feel free to swing by if you need anything," Hobi cheerfully offered.

"Aw, thanks so much, hyung! That's super sweet of you," Jin expressed his gratitude with a warm smile.

"No problem, Jinnie! As Tae knows, let me show you around. That room over there belongs to me and Yoongi. And this one is Jungkook's, and that one is Namjoon's chamber," Hobi gestured, pointing out the different rooms. Jin's heart skipped a beat upon hearing the name of his savior.

"Go freshen up, and then we can dig into some delicious breakfast," Hobi said, and the three of them nodded in agreement.

Hobi left the room, but Jungkook stayed behind, waiting for Taehyung.
