~Chapter 7~

Tae and Jimin appeared inside the palace, in Jimin's room.
Tae you should rest... I'll be going out.
Jimin uh- why did you brought me back so soon?
Tae um- may I not answer that?
Jimin but why?
Tae ah- you see... She just didn't look as innocent as she acted. She kinda seemed... suspicious?
Jimin oh well I guess that is because it is first time someone has entered your realm?? Especially in that condition?
Tae maybe.. you should rest, don't worry about it hn? I will take care of it.
Jimin okay you don't need to think about that too...
Tae I'll try.. take rest! When the dinner is ready I will wake you up.
Jimin um I don't wanna?
Tae then why don't you go to the palace garden?
Jimin um hmm...

Tae felt the hesitation when Jimin hummed as if there was something he wanted to ask. He tilted his had a bit and looked at Jimin's face that was a bit lower as Jimin's eyes were roaming on the ground. He decided to ask it himself so that Jimin could speak up.
Tae is there anything on your mind?? Do you probably wanna ask something to me??
Jimin yeah? Uh yes I do.
Tae go on.. You don't need to hesitate. I have told you right? you got all the rights to do whatever you want. You are the only person everyone will obey here doesn't matter if I deny to that. And you can be assured that I will never deny something you want. So go ahead and ask whatever you have in your mind.
Jimin uh actually it's about...um...
Tae Tiger? It's about him right? Well I'm trying my best to find him! And I will do soon I promise. Even if that means I have to bring him back from the place where soul's reside. I will do whatever it takes to complete your wish. Anything else?
Jimin nah thanks a lot.
Tae you don't need to thank me! Take me as your servant and wish anything you want. Your wish is my command.

Jimin just nodded and Tae smiled at him.
Tae I'll take my leave then?
Jimin hm..
Tae turned around and was about to leave when Jimin called him,
Jimin uh wait Tae-
He covered his mouth with his hands on realising what he just called him. His eyes were wide and he was quite taken aback by his own actions. Tae froze at his place on hearing his name from Jimin's mouth. Nobody has ever called him like that. Let's say it in that way nobody calls him by his name expect his enemies. So he doesn't hear his name from anyone's mouth. He slowly looked back with a smile,
Tae you- you just called me?
Jimin removed his hands from his mouth and started waving them as no.
Jimin I am so sorry it just slipped from my tongue. I didn't mean to.
Tae smiled wider as he held Jimin's hand calming him down.
Tae It's fine hn? I have always asked you to call me by my name. You know, you should do that. I love the way it sounds.
Jimin I really can't.
Tae do me this favour please??

Jimin just stared at his eyes and nodded. There was something about Tae's eyes. They were deep, mysterious, scary, dangerous but yet soft, beautiful with no secrets. They were not something Jimin ever understood. But the longing he saw in Tae's eyes were the revealed proof of his love towards Jimin. Every time he looked at those eyes he felt lost so he mostly tried to avoid them. His presence was unusually protective. He never felt that Tae could harm him in anyways. He felt careless around Tae as if he knew that nothing will happen to him until Tae is there. And he loved that thing. He could do anything he wanted.

Time skip

The girl started getting closer to Jimin in order to enter the palace. She was very clever and talking about winning Jimin's trust, that wasn't hard for her. She did that in few days itself but still Jimin didn't had any wish to take her inside the palace knowing about the uncomfortable feeling of Tae. He was also wondering why she wanted to go inside the palace so eagerly. But she made a excuse saying that she heard the palace was really beautiful. Even more beautiful than the Sunfire palace so she wanted to visit. But Jimin wasn't ready for that. He didn't dare to even ask Tae about her. With the time passing Tae started to get more suspicious of her. He had been keeping an eye on her so that she doesn't do something. The amount of time he heard about her asking to Jimin to let her come with him inside the palace was crazy. He decided not bring it up in front of Jimin. But he was sure she wasn't there for no reason. She was done with sending information about the place outside the palace and she only needed to know about the inside.
