The Unwritten Rule

CHAPTER 16

Jungkook POV:

After the talk, we started our journey. We traveled less than halfway, but Taehyung looked tired. "Let's take a break here," I suggested, to which everyone agreed. We got down from the cart. Taehyung went and sat on the rock. I took some water and gave it to Taehyung. "Thank you." I sat beside him. "I can take over if you're tired," I suggested. "Take over what?" Taehyung asked confused "The cart," I said "And do you know how to ride one?" Taehyung asked as if he already knew the answer. I was silent. Of course, I don't know how to ride a cart. Taehyung chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I can manage." He said and went towards the horse to feed something.

I stood up, I heard some rustling sound behind me. I understood that someone was following us. "Jungkook, we are ready. Let's go," Taehyung shouted. "Yes, hyung." I went near Taehyung "Hyung. You guys go ahead, I will come behind you." I whispered "What? Why?" Taehyung asked, confused. "someone is following us. We don't want to risk getting caught." I said, "Are you out of your mind? What if they are not alone? No... not happening. I am coming with you." Taehyung said. "Hyung, if you come with me, who will ride the cart? Except you, none of us can ride that. And I can't take hyung's or Jimin since they are already tired from the previous fight." I said, stopping hyung. "Take this with you," Taehyung said, giving me a knife. "Thank you hyung. And I will leave the 'convincing the hyung's and Jimin' part to you." I winked and hid behind the bush. Taehyung groaned and went.

When the cart started moving, I understood Taehyung had convinced the others. As soon as the cart started moving, I noticed a figure following it from the right side. I went behind the figure and started following. The cart was moving, which gave me an advantage in catching up with that person. Once I was close enough, I jumped at that person, tackling him to the ground. The person was struggling under me. He had a mask covering his face. I turned him around and removed the mask. I couldn't believe my eyes, the person ...... no.... It's not..... Is it Jin Hyung? I couldn't utter a word. I felt as if the world had paused. Is this Jin Hyung? I could only think of one word, 'pretty' Even comparing hyung to a flower would be less.

Seokjin POV:

I was so focused on protecting the princes that I didn't notice someone following me. But, as soon as he turned me, I saw something that shocked me. I thought Jungkook was in the cart. He fooled me. Jungkook was on top of me. He held both of my hands on top of my head with one hand. His other hand held my mask, which he removed. Jungkook was staring at me with his eyes big, making me feel shy. He was staring, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. "Umm... Your Royal Highness?" I called out, making Jungkook release his grip on my hands. He stood up and helped me to stand up. I bowed. Before I could utter anything, Jungkook hugged me. "Hyung.... It's you. I missed you." Jungkook said, hugging me tighter. I smiled and hugged him back, resting my head on his shoulder. "I missed you too."

After some time, Jungkook released me from the hug. "Hyung, how are you? Are you eating? Where were you all this time? Are you hurt anywhere?" Jungkook asked, turning me side to side to check for any injuries. "Jungkook, I am fine." I said, placing both my hands on Jungkook's cheeks to make him look at me in the eyes. Jungkook smiled and leaned into my hand. I don't want to escape from the reality anymore. I love Jungkook. Being apart from Jungkook made me realize how much I love him. "Kookie," I called out. "Hmm?" Jungkook hummed, taking my hands into his. "I ..... I lo...". Before I could confess, a loud voice interrupted me. It was Namjoon calling for Jungkook. I looked behind. "Hyung's must have stopped their journey for me. Hyung, let's go," Jungkook said.

Jungkook POV:

I took hyung's hand and made my way toward hyung's following the sound. I know what Jin hyung was about to say. It was always clear how hyung looked at me. Thank God, Namjoon hyung called out. I want to be the person who confesses first. I don't want to miss Jin hyung anymore.

We made it to the cart. Jin hyung surprised Hyung and Jimin. They bombarded hyung with questions. Jin hyung explained everything. How he left his uncle's house and how he became the general. I am so proud of hyung. He grew up well and now he has fulfilled his dream.

We started our journey again. I explained everything. How we got kidnapped and how Taehyung saved us. I didn't mention the Yeolsoe part. After knowing Yeolsoe it will be dangerous for Jin hyung and I don't want to risk hyung's life.

Author POV:

Taehyung dropped the princes and Seokjin in the kingdom. Jungkook and Yoongi explained the necessary details to the kings. Then, Jungkook suggested to the king about Taehyung's skills. "Seokjin will test him, and he will find him a suitable position." The king assured Jungkook and instructed Seokjin to follow the instructions.

The next day, Yoongi, Namjoon, and his parents left the Nemon kingdom. Yoongi didn't want to leave yet. After almost losing Jimin, he didn't want to leave his side. But his duty as a prince was calling him. So he had to leave.

Seokjin received his room and a working cabin. He became busy, as he had a lot to take care of. He had to train the soldiers and provide a new working schedule, as the previous schedule was not up to the mark. Jungkook was always looking for Seokjin, but he couldn't find some time alone with him.

Seokjin was in his cabin looking at Taehyung's details. 'He is an excellent archer and has scored well. With a little practice and guidance, he can be an outstanding soldier. But his background details are a bit off. Looks like I have to go around and confirm.' Seokjin thought. Seokjin heard a knock on his door. He got up and opened the door. "Your Royal Highness?" Seokjin asked, surprised. Jungkook got inside and locked the door. Seokjin was looking at Jungkook, blinking, his eyes surprised and confused. Jungkook smiled and started making his way toward Seokjin.

 "Hyung..." Seokjin looked at Jungkook confused eyes, "yes?" Jungkook was inches away from Seokjin. "What were you going to say when we were in the forest?" Jungkook asked. He wanted to tease his hyung. Seokjin's ears and face became red. He lost the confidence he had when he was in the forest. "I..... I don't... Remember." Seokjin said, avoiding eye contact. Jungkook smirked. He took one step forward wrapped his arm around Seokjin's waist and pulled him towards him. Seokjin looked at Jungkook with wide eyes. "Then...do you want me to make you remember?" Jungkook said, rubbing his thumb finger on Seokjin's bottom lip. "Jun-Jungkook" Seokjin stuttered. "Shh..." Jungkook kept his index finger on Seokjin's lips. Jungkook looked at Seokjin's eyes and then at his lips. 

He lifted Seokjin's chin with his middle finger and replaced his finger with his lips. Seokjin couldn't process what was happening. Jungkook opened his eyes and looked at Seokjin, whose eyes were wide. Jungkook chuckled. He found Seokjin cute with his shocked expression. "Hyung...... I love you. Let's not be apart anymore." Jungkook said in a low yet mesmerizing voice. Seokjin looked at Jungkook's eyes. Seokjin moves his face forword and kisses Jungkook. Jungkook smiled into the kiss. He closed his eyes and pulled Seokjin. Seokjin circled his arms around Jungkook's neck. Jungkook pushed Seokjin further towards Seokjin's study table. Jungkook pushed the papers present on the table. His hands traveled towards Seokjin's upper thigh, squeezing them. He lifted Seokjin and made him sit on the table without breaking the kiss. Jungkook and Seokjin's lips began moving together. Jungkook deepened the kiss. He nibbled on Seokjin's bottom lip, which made Seokjin moan. "Kookie...." Seokjin said, patting, making Jungkook stop kissing. He took Jungkook's face into his hands. "I love you too, Jungkook. I love you so much." Seokjin said, trying to catch his breath. Jungkook rested his forehead on Seokjin's forehead. A broad smile decorated both their faces.
