CHAPTER | 001 -ᴘʀᴇꜱᴇɴᴛ-
LIVING alone was the best decision jungkook has ever made. he no longer had to deal with jeongsan anymore or so he thought. "so this is where you have been staying?" jeongsan said as he walks into his apartment. "what brings you here?" jungkook asked as he crossed his arms. "it's father's and mother's anniversary. they are throwing a party and want you to come" jeongsan hands the invitation. jungkook takes it and looks at it. "i'll see if i can make it" he places the invitation down. "are you still mad at me, jungkook?" jeongsan asked. "can't you just let it all go and just attend for mother and father?" he asked.
"why should i? anyone would be mad after what you did. i will go but just for mother and father. don't expect me to give up the race. no matter what i will be king and not you. i will make sure of that" jungkook said which made jeongsan smirk. "i love to see you try" he said before walking out of the apartment. once he was gone, jungkook sighed and took a seat on his couch. he wasn't going to give up. he will fight for what he wants. and what he wants is revenge. revenge for everything jeongsan had done and the only way to get that is by taking the title crown prince away from him.

walking into the castle, he looks around the hall. it was the same as the day he left. "prince jungkook! i thought you left busan?" one of his father's friends asked. "i came to congratulate my parents for another year of their marriage" he replied. "but it isn't their anniversary? it's your brother's engagement party" his wife said which made jungkook mad. "his what?" he ask. "i thought he informed you that he's engaged" his father's friend said. "he didn't" jungkook replied. "anyways, i'm sure everyone will be happy to see you" they smiled even though jungkook knew they were faking it. most of his father's friends are on jeongsan's side. only a few are supporting him. it took him long to convince them yet saw that he was a genius in disguise. "if you excuse me, i wish to see my parents" he said and they bowed.
jungkook's eyes darken as he walks through the palace. he couldn't believe he was lied to just to bring him here and embarrassed him. he notice that his pictures were taken down which meant it was jeongsan doing. walking towards the ballroom, he saw how surprised the maids and guards were to see him. "open the doors" he ordered and the guards do as they were told. "welcoming the second son of king and queen jeon, prince jeon jungkook" the announcer said as he walks into the room. everyone bows down as he walks over to his brother who standing on the second floor. he glares at his brother who was smirking. "you lied to me" jungkook said. "come on, jungkook. you should be happy that i'm getting married. you remember mirae, right?" jeongsan said as a girl wearing Chanel wraps her arms around jeongsan.
"of course i do. how can i forget her" jungkook replied, angrily. "glad you do because she will be your sister-in law. i hope you two get along well" jeongsan replied with a smile. "i will try" jungkook forced a smile. "jungkook! im so happy you made it" he turns to see his mother and father. his mother hugs him tightly and kisses his forehead. "i missed so much mother" he whispered. "me too" she smiles. his mother let's go and he look over at his father. "what are you doing here" his father asked. "don't say that. it's been four years since we saw him" his mother said. "no fighting, father. we're at a party" jeongsan said. jungkook clenched his fist, trying to control his anger. "stop wasting your time on beating your brother. he's getting married to a beautiful lady with a good background while you still live alone with that dog of yours" the king said.
"don't say that, father. i'm sure jungkook will find his soulmate" jeongsan said with a smile. jungkook mentally rolls his eyes. "now walking in is mister shin minho" the announcer said as the doors opened. jungkook turns his head to see a old man walk through the doors wearing designer clothes. he knows who the old man is. the old man has many connections with many countries. having him being on jungkook's side will get him more supporters. he was also good friends with their grandfather, the previous king. jeongsan along with the king heads downstairs to greet the old man, making jungkook to follow behind them. "greetings your majesty, prince jeongsan and prince jungkook" the old man bowed. "i'm so delighted that you were able to make it even though you have a busy schedule" jeongsan said.
"oh, im not longer busy. my heir is the busy one which is why they couldn't make it today! congratulations on getting engaged, prince jeongsan. i left my gift on the table with the others. prince jungkook, it seems like i left my gift for you outside. do you mind going to get it?" mr.shin said. "thank you but you didn't have to give me anything" jungkook replied. "i am sure you will like it" the old man smiles at the young prince. "mr.shin, you must be tired. why don't you have a seat?" jeongsan said as he helps the old man walk over to an empty seat. "you should quit now" the king whispered into jungkook's ear before walking away.
jungkook's eyes darkened when his eyes made eye contact with a familiar face. the prince looks away and walks out of the room where he clearly isn't wanted. he didn't need the old man's gift. once outside, jungkook spotted a familiar person. his heart drop and tears roll down his cheeks. he runs up to them and pulls them into a hug, lifting them up in the air and spinning them around. "i wasn't expecting you to be this happy" they said as they pulled away from the hug and cupped his cheeks. jungkook wraps his arms around their waist and digs his face into the crook of their neck. "i'm sorry i haven't contacted you. i lost my phone when i was traveling and forgot your number" they said yet he shook his head. "i don't forgive you. promise me you won't leave me alone again" he said and they laughed. "why do you think i'm here?" they asked.
"i, (y/n), promised to make you king back in high school and i'm here to fulfill that promise"
