The Lost Prince

Chapter 15

5/9 update...

Jin was assisted by Jungkook to sit on the chair he prepared under the shower.

"Be careful when you get up. The floor will be slippery. Call me if you need any help, okay?" Jungkook said as he looked at Seokjin, sitting comfortably on the chair, with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Jungkook. I appreciate your help. You can leave me here since I know that you still have work to do." Jin said.

"I will wait outside. Don't worry about work, I told Mr. Choi that I'll have to take care of you. Tzuya should be able to assist him with his other tasks and Josung-hyung will be back to work today." Jungkook said.

Jin frowned realizing that Jungkook will lose a day because of his clumsiness. He looked down to his feet. He was supposed to help Jungkook but he's being a burden now. "I'm sorry." He said sadly.

Jungkook did not want to burden Jin with the guilt so he went to him and kneeled to get a good look at Jin. "You did not want this to happen. The pool was really clean when I checked it. You just wanted to help and this was just an accident." He said to Jin.

Jin did not expect for Jungkook to be kind to him, especially on how he was treating him for the past few days. He was speechless until Jungkook had to leave so that he can shower. He smiled on his own, remembering how Jungkook held his waist to assist him towards the shower room.

"I did not know that being injured can also be fun." He said to himself.

***********************

As soon as they got back from searching around the area, Taehyung went back to the garden hoping to see the same man he ssaw from the previous day. He was disappointed when he did not see him earlier in the front desk and missed to even ask for the man's schedule. As he was walking around the garden, he saw the familiar figure, drinking from the same container he was bringing yesterday. A smile was immediately shown from his face and he ran to the place where the man was taking his usual snacks.

After drinking his coffee, Hoseok was surprised to see the same man from yesterday in front of him, with a boxy-smile. He immediately wiped the coffee that was spread on his lips. "Tae! Oh my god. Good morning." He said as he stood up and bowed at the man.

Taehyung sat beside him. "I hope this seat was not taken yet." He said.

"It is not." Hoseok said.

Taehyung smiled again and Hoseok can't help but drown in that usual smile of Taehyung. He never had a crush with anyone, and this might be the first time. The man is just extremely handsome that he can't help but look at his face the whole time.

"How was your day so far, Hoseok?" Taehyung asked.

"It is quite good, Tae. It's good to see you here but my lunch time is almost over." Hoseok said as he looked at his watch.

The smile from Taehyung's lips turned immediately into a frown.

"I shall be out at 3 P.M." Hoseok said, hoping Taehyung would say something, probably invite him for dinner.

"I see. I guess I will just see you next time." Taehyung said, disappointed that he can't spend time with Hoseok.

Hoseok wanted to frown that Taehyung did not even invite him for dinner, but he realized that maybe Taehyung was just being kind to him and does not like him like how he likes him. Anyway, he'll have to attend school and would need to focus on it, or else, his brother will scold him. Jungkook did not sacrifice his own future for Hoseok just for him to ruin it.

"I should get back to my post, Tae. I will see you again." Hoseok said as he packed up his snacks.

Taehyung was still sad knowing he wasted a lot of time, not finding Seokjin, and not able to spend time with Hoseok. He tried to smile as the latter left him in the garden. Taehyung just looked around and sighed when Hoseok was gone.
