“This is bewitching.”

Jungkook marvels, eyes centered upon the fascinating pink-hued floral beauty. The path is covered by the flowers fallen from the trees which frame both sides, A shiver travels through his frame when the cold breeze ruffles his long hair dancing around softly, burrowing under his robes and caressing his skin.

What he did not expect was for Lord Kim to drape his robe on Jungkook’s frame.

“L-Lord Kim, you don’t have to give me your robe-”

“Prince Jeon you shivered ,” He says as though him shivering is enough for the chivalrous action, and it seems Lord Taehyung is oblivious to his heart-fluttering actions. And Jungkook with a phantom heartache realizes that Lord Kim has no idea that these actions are presumed as special, he’s genuinely caring for Jungkook without knowing he is, and this might be Jungkook’s last straw, so he counts his blessings and keeps walking.

“Thank you,” he whispers.

“It’s nothing.”

Jungkook grips the robe tighter around him, it’s warm, the fabric is drenched in the Alpha’s pheromones, the petrichor scent still clinging to it and Jungkook discreetly inhales deeply. His senses suffused with the pleasant scent, and his wolf howls inside him to bury his nose into the neck of the robe and rub it all over him, bathing in the Alpha’s scent because it’s just so enticing.

It doesn’t help that Jungkook doesn’t have any sort of experience with an Alpha. So to say his wolf being exposed to a pureblood Alpha pheromone for the first time is a bit overwhelming for him, he can’t seem to keep his omega under control when the cordial dizziness clouds his brain. As though the Alpha’s pheromones are some sort of drug, a bewitching spell wrecking his mind.

He shuffled closer to the Alpha when the scent of Robe starts fleeting away, the body warmth radiating off him makes Jungkook sigh. His skin is sensitive to cold, and even a little breeze seems to give him goosebumps. The fact that Lord Kim was so thoughtful to give him his robe makes him smile.

“You’re really attentive Lord Kim,” he compliments, because the King deserves to know how his simple gesture is very kind and thoughtful.

“This is normal for me.”

Confusion etched across his face at the older’s reply, Taehyung must see that too so he continues.

“As the king, the person who has to give commands on the battlefield I must have my eyes in every direction gauging every situation and give quick assessments for the safety of my men fighting by my side. All those men’s lives rest on my shoulders and I wish to never fail them because they put their trust in me and follow my directions blindly. Their trust is one of the reasons we came out victorious in every battle we’ve fought.”

Lord Kim says calmly. Jungkook’s haze clears up at the words, slowly his attention zeroes onto Lord Kim.

“That sounds very exhausting.”

“It can be sometimes, but most of the time, my heart doesn’t rest easy when my brothers are risking their lives for our kingdom and their peace. I can’t rest easy knowing my people back in the kingdom are relying on me for their peace and their family’s safety. I can’t rest at ease. I will slay entire kingdoms alone before I let any harm touch my people.”

When Lord Kim talks about his kingdom, his people, and his army, there’s a fire in his eyes. His voice is firm, every word uttered with confidence and the shine in his eyes convey that he means each and every word. The passion he has for his kingdom and people is visible, burns in his veins, and roars in his blood.
