"Am I mistaken?" Jungkook asks walking towards them and standing next to Jimin as Mrs. Jeon looks at both of them before giggling "No, you're not." Jungkook shrugged his shoulders in a way I am never wrong as Jimin blushed hard and looked away to her side avoiding the gaze given by Jungkook and his mother. Jungkook wrapped one of his arms around Jimin's neck startling Jimin "What are you doing, prince?" Jimin whispers as Mrs. Jeon's eyes never leave them. Jungkook leaned closer to her ear "I am just happy and we are friends, it's alright."
"Nope!" Mrs. Jeon hits Jungkook's chest and pulls his arm away from Jimin's neck "Not without her permission" Jungkook rolled his eyes "She doesn't give a damn-" Mrs. Jeon gave a punch on his biceps as Jungkook cried out playfully "That hurt!" "I don't give a damn." Mrs. Jeon smiles and drags Jimin into the palace as Jungkook runs after them to catch up with them.
*********************************"Flowers can be decorated on both the staircases and-" "Jimin!" Jimin was cut off by Jungkook calling her as she averts her attention to Jungkook from the manager "Mother is looking for you!" Jimin quickly nodded as she turned to face the manager and she gave him an apologetic smile "I will try to be back, real quick." He nods as Jimin quickly walks away and as she is walking she is pulled into a corner, scaring her "Goodn-" A large hand quickly covers her mouth as the body hovers over hers while she is pinned to the wall. The hand leaves her mouth
"Who are you?" She whispers as she tries to see the face through the dark. She was pulled into the nurse's room and no one knew about this room except the people living in the castle. The lights switch on revealing Jungkook whose body entirely covers hers. Jimin exhaled in relief ignoring her face which was burning red "You scared me." Jungkook smiled and backed away as Jimin fixed her hair and looked at him "You lied." Jungkook smiles and nods his head "Hmm."
"Why?" Jungkook shrugged "You would've told me to wait if I would say I am calling you so my mother was the best reason." Jimin rolled her eyes and looked away "My parents did not do it." Jimin's head shot up in shock as she looked at him with wide eyes "What?" Jungkook smiled wide "It was a person dressed in all black.. It was a child.." Jungkook says, the smile leaving his mouth. Jimin looked at him confused "Are you hearing yourself, Jungkook? A child?" Jungkook nods "I am sure about that... My parents were never there at that moment."
"They were coming back from the village... And, I was the only one here." Jimin walked up to Jungkook and looked at him with confused eyes "How? A child who can use a weapon..?" Jungkook looked at her confused "Aren't you suspecting me?" Jimin shakes her head "Why would I? Your practice started when you were fifteen years old." Jungkook slowly nodded "Before your practice began, did you ever hold or see a gun?" Jungkook shook his head "Never.. My parents were too overprotective." Jimin smiled
"Exactly, then why would I suspect you?" Jungkook exhales, running a hand through his hair "Leave that." Jimin says and exhales "Why did you agree to that decision?" Jungkook looked at her confused "What decision?" "The ball." Jungkook's mouth slightly opens in realization as he closes it for a smirk to form his lips "Well, are you jealous?" Jimin rolled her eyes "We are friends" Jungkook chuckled "I was kidding. I just agreed to it because I heard my parents arguing about it. Plus, I invited you because I won't be lonely then." Jimin smiled
"Thank you," She says as Jungkook smiles wider "Well, that is what friends do." Jimin smiles "I need to leave. We will be in trouble if anyone finds out." Jungkook nodded as Jimin walked towards the door and left, and Jungkook followed behind her.
******************************"How is it going so far?" Jungkook asks seeing Jimin throw herself on his bed, her face filled with exhaustion "If I had known that this is what I will have to deal with, I would've never agreed to be a maiden for you or for the palace." She says pointing at Jungkook and then twirling her index around to her surroundings. Jungkook grinned as he walked towards the bed after he finished styling his hair "Well, at least you have me." Jimin rolled her eyes "You are barely doing anything." She snaps making Jungkook chuckle
"Are you heading somewhere?" She asks looking at the dressed-up Jungkook. Jungkook nods "Father told me to go 'personally' invite the princesses to the ball." Jungkook says, quoting the word 'personally' with his fingers. Jimin's mouth opens in the shape of an 'o' in understanding as she nods "So, when will you be leaving?" Jungkook exhales "Now." Jimin closes her eyes in frustration as she gets up from the bed
"Well, my friend, I wish you luck." Jungkook chuckles and shakes his head "Wanna come along?" "I would rather spend the rest of my day next to the person I hate the most." Jungkook grins
"I would do the same but I can't." Jimin stands in front of Jungkook as she leaves some gap in between them to avoid touching "You can take Mrs. Jeon along." "She is already stressed out about the ball and shit." Jimin frowned her eyebrows "You need to work on the words you use. You are the future monarch, Jungkook." Jungkook grins wide "As long as I don't do it in front of others, it's alright. Isn't it?" Jimin rolls her eyes and walks towards the door "Now, leave. Don't keep the driver waiting." She says before exiting his room.
************************************"Are you in your right senses!?" Wooyoung asks San as she receives a nod "Yes, I am. I don't mind taking you with me, anyways." Wooyoung exhales in frustration as she stands in front of him and looks at him "You finalized it without asking me." San smiles at her and takes a step closer to her, leaning against her ear, he whispers "I know you will refuse the proposal. You need to chill, I am not forcing you into marriage now am I?" Wooyoung lets out a shaky breath
"Move" San softly chuckles against her ear as his hot breath hovers over her ear "No." San grips both her arms as his hands go up to her elbows while gripping them tightly but softly. "I don't care about whatever you want Wooyoung. You are coming with me to the ball and that is final." Her gaze remains on the ground as she shakes her head again making San groan "You will get to see your sister." Wooyoung's head shot up to look at him causing her head to hit his chin
"Ow-" Wooyoung touched the surface of her head as San touched his chin "You get so excited about her and not about me. That fucking hurts more than this." He says pointing at his chin as Wooyoung rolls her eyes "What can I say? I just adore her more." Wooyoung snaps, backing away from him "I am not sure if she will be present at the ball but you can maybe find her in her room, there." Wooyoung nods "You wanna go now?" "Maybe.." San throws his head back and groans "Just say yes" Wooyoung shrugs her shoulders "I will think about it." She smiles, saying.
******************************"You're back.." Jimin says quietly as she sees a tired and exhausted Jungkook coming up the stairs. He looks at her in worry "Why aren't you asleep yet?" She shrugs "You're late. I couldn't just go to bed leaving you awake." Jungkook exhales and walks up to her "I am not a child, Jimin. I can take care of myself, you know?" Jimin smiles and nods as different perfumes from his coat attack Jimin's nose "Were you with the princesses?" Jimin asks identifying the smell. Jungkook nods "Yes.. And it was tiring as hell." Jungkook brushes his hair back with his fingers
"Why are you late?" Jimin quietly asks grabbing Jungkook's attention "I had to go shopping with them." Jimin looks at him with confusion, sadness, and suspicion in her eyes "At midnight?" Jungkook slowly nods "They take the whole day to choose a gown-" "You went cloth shopping with them?" Jimin asks, this time her voice a bit raised which confuses Jungkook. Jungkook takes a minute break, staring into her eyes trying to figure out if something is wrong with her
"What the fuck, Jimin? Are you alright? You sounded so frustrated." Jimin tightens her jaw before walking away, ignoring him "Jimin! What's wrong with you?" Jungkook whisper-shouts so that they are the only ones hearing each other "Not something you should know about." She enters her room and quickly closes the door before Jungkook can enter. Jungkook exhaled "Why's she angry over the shopping..?"
