20. The Royals

"You think they'll be okay?" Namjoon straightened his suit jacket and looked at Jin concerned. He had doubts about their decision to lock Jungkook in the same room with Taehyung.

Everyone, except Jungkook and Taehyung, was gathered in the living room, waiting for the Royals to arrive. They were dressed to impress, all their attires matching the name of their guests. Each one of them looked as a member of royalty.

"They don't really have a choice, do they?" Jin fixed Namjoon's tie as he looked at him and smiled fondly at his handsome partner.

"Well, you didn't give them a choice, did you?" Hoseok talked to Yoona who was downing a glass of wine.

"Why would we give them a choice?" she huffed.

"You could have at least mentioned it to Taehyung before you send the boy in," Hoseok suggested.

"You are always so kind and thoughtful Hoseok. I swear, you are the sweetest. But I am not," Yoona commented.

"Me neither," Jin added with a smile.

"Specially when Taehyung is acting the way he is," she grunted and looked around for more wine.

"Don't pay attention to her. She is no longer the favourite and she is feeling grumpy," Jin hinted, only to earn a side eye from Yoona who mumbled something no one could hear.

"They are late," Huimang said nervously while tapping her foot.

"Are you in a hurry?" Yoongi sat next to her, a bit closer than he normally would.

"N- no. I just want to be done with it. These situations are boring and unneeded," she replied, turning her head the other way.

Yoongi shifted closer, almost leaning on her shoulder. "You need to tell them," he whispered in her ear, making a shiver run down her spine.

Her heart skipped a beat but not in the good way that hearts usually do, but in a way that brings anxiety and panic attacks.

"You can't delay this, they deserve to know," Yoongi purred in her ear, voice deep and raspy, making Huimang's stomach twist and goosebumps to erupt on her skin.

"They are here!" Jimin walked in the room, his white shirt flowing as he run towards the door.

"Kitchen, tonight after everyone is asleep," Huimang whispered swiftly to Yoongi and sprang up, going next to Yoona.

Everybody stood up, waiting for Jimin to open the door. Yoona downed another glass of wine.

"Are you nervous about the boys?" Hoseok whispered to her.

"Among other things.. But no, everything will be okay. Just deep breaths and please cough to remind me to keep my cool," she replied, her eyes glued to the door.

Jimin nodded to the rest and opened the door, revealing three men standing there.

"Welcome," Jin shouted and moved towards them, shaking everybody's hand.

"Hello Jin, thank you for having us in your home", the first man, Hongjoon gave Jin a formal smile, barely shaking the other man's hand, before he walks inside.

"It's nice to see you again Hyunjin," Jimin nodded and the second man smiled and bowed slightly.

"My love, so good to see you after so long," Yoona went to the third man and gave him a tight hug.

"It's always a pleasure seeing you," Taemin smiled at her sweetly.

"Please make yourselves comfortable," Yoongi gestured as they all moved towards the sofas.
