BASK IN BETRAYAL|| TAEKOOK||

⚜️40:I Am Sorry⚜️

It's been around 2 hours since Taehyun started operating on Jungkook, but still there is no news about Jungkook and his children.
And Taehyung can't help but feel his whole body filling up with dread as time passes by.

Till now everyone in the palace knows about an unauthorised man doing something to the king, resulting in their king having an immediate surgery.

"How is he?" Hoseok asks, as he stops near a distraught Taehyung.
As soon as he got to know about Jungkook he ran towards the infirmary.

"Not good, he was lying on the floor, and his lower body was completely covered in blood, I don't know what happened to him" Taehyung cries out, remembering the horrific scene.

Hoseok shudders at the information.
He has always cared about Jungkook like his own little brother.
Hoseok and Haneul were best friends, and Jungkook always tagged around Haneul, so it was natural for Hoseok to care for the little boy. But as Jungkook grew up, the sweet, sacred boy became brave and vigilant, but still Hoseok swore to protect Jungkook with his life.

"How did this even happen, who was that man?" Hoseok asks.

"I don't know, he saw Namjoon and fell unconscious, so I brought him here. But instead of Yeonjun there was another man. He told me that Yeonjun left due to an emergency and administered Jungkook some medicines, after that I left to go check up on Namjoon and when I came back i found Jungkook crying and lying on the floor. Since then I haven't seen that man." Taehyung narrates the entire ordeal.

Jimin who was standing beside Taehyung, also hears everything and one statement catches his attention.

"That man administered a medicine to Jungkook, do you have that medicine with you right now" Jimin asks.

"Yeah he prescribed it to Jungkook, here is the medicine" Taehyung says handing out the medicine to Jimin.

Jimin takes the bottle from him.
He opens it and sniffs it.

"This is wormwood" Jimin exclaims.

"Wormwood?, what is that?" Taehyung asks, perplexed.

"Wormwood... It's a toxic ingredient, if taken in long quantity can make anyone miscarry. Wormwood was used thousands of years ago to make special male unable to give birth. Wormwood isn't just responsible for miscarriages it can also damage the womb, it's that potent. That why wormwood is banned in almost all the kingdoms except Dernia" Jimin says concerned, if that's what that man has administered to Jungkook, it seriously is concerning.

Taehyung looks at him stunned, what is he supposed to do now. Not only Jungkook can miscarry his womb can get damaged too.
In his presence, a man gave Jungkook wormwood and he wasn't able to do anything.

"So that man is the culprit there is no doubt about it. And as far as I can deduce, he is of Dernia. But how the hell did he enter the palace " Jimin says.

"I know" Hoseok says as he connets the dots. "Namjoon, they entered through Namjoon. He was found at the borders of Banzai, our Soldiers were distracted for a moment when they found him, that's when he entered Alvania, and i can say pretty surely that Yeonjun's disappearance has something to do with him. He replaced Yeonjun very easily as he had access to his I'd" Hoseok says his anger knowing no bounds.
The fact that Dernia's man managed to infiltrate the kingdom, entered the palace and harmed their king, is a slap on their faces.
"I swear I am going to skin him alive" Hoseok murmurs and starts walking away from them.

Jimin looks at him concerned.
"Where are you going?" He asks.

"To find that man" Hoseok's says with an eerily calm voice making Jimin shiver with fear.
Jimin knows how much Hoseok adores Jungkook. He has till now seen countless interactions between the king and Hoseok, and he can say pretty surely that they both share a very beautiful and heartfelt bond.
One of these days when Yoongi and Hoseok were fighting on yet another topic. Hoseok gladly said that he
'doesnt serve the country he serves the king' and if that statement wasn't enough to prove his faithfulness towards Jungkook, his behaviour is a sufficient evidence to anyone for that matter.
