(a/n the highly requested sequel to part 107 // the prince and the servant? how cliche,, i hope you enjoy!!)
"a boy?" his fathers voice boomed loudly, disbelief clear on his face. jimin sucked in a deep breath, too afraid to look his father in the eyes. he nodded slowly, head still tilted down to the floor. "honey, don-" he could hear his mother try to say to his father, but he cut her off quickly, "no! this is unacceptable! in a few years time, jimin must rule the kingdom in my place. not having a new queen and instead having what? another king? well, that would certainly bring dishonor to not only our family, but the entire kingdom!" his father shouted, both at his mother and at jimin.
jimin held his tears in, finally looking to at his father. "im sorry." he whispered, struggling to hold back his cries. before anyone could say another word, jimin just left. he ran straight into his bedroom, ignoring the shouts coming from his mother and closing the door loudly behind him. he leaned back against the door frame, sliding down so his knees were tucked into him. "unacceptable" "dishonor" his fathers harsh words continued to ring in his mind as he clenched his eyes shut and sobbed into the long sleeves of his royal attire.
jimins mother wanted nothing more than to run to her son, and aid him in his time of need. but unfortunately, his father would probably assume that she, too, was against him, and that wouldnt end very well. so, she stood, and watched her precious son run off, with tears streaming down his face. but, she knew exactly what she needed to do. she summoned yoongi, jimins favorite of the staff, (though she didnt know the exact depth of his feelings for the boy) and told him to go check up on jimin, ask if maybe he needed something.
yoongi immediately followed her orders, one because he had to, and two because he didnt even know jimin was upset. "jimin? uh- i mean- prince jimin?" yoongi said quietly as he slowly opened the door to jimins enormous bedroom. he didnt get a response, but yoongi knew jimin, and he could see a lump under his bed sheets. yoongi padded across the floor with quick, quiet steps, taking a gentle seat on the edge of jimins bed. "jiminie? its yoongi." he said softly, lifting the end of jimins quilt. jimin peaked his head out, eyes red and puffy and cheeks stained with tears.
"hey, you okay, baby?" yoongi said, still softly, using the nickname that jimin always loved. jimin sniffled, climbing out of his makeshift cocoon and into yoongis open arms, immediately holding him tightly. "my- my father- he- he got angry b- because i told him th- that i love you." jimin hiccuped as he struggled to form clear sentences through his sobbing. yoongi just held him close, his heart dropping in his chest. he quickly looked around to make sure no one else had entered the room, before pressing a soft kiss to jimins forehead.
"im sorry, jiminie." he began slowly, trying to figure out the right words to say, "its- its my fault." he sighed, slouching down even though his arms were still around jimin. jimin pulled away quickly, confusion in his eyes. "no its not, of course its not. its never your fault." jimin said sternly, smoothing out yoongis bangs that had fallen down into his eyes. yoongi tried his best to smile at jimin, but it came out as more of a soft frown. "i- i got in the way. i should've just let you go on and become king, but of course i had to spend so much time with you. i- i love you, jimin. so much. but im just getting in the way." yoongi explained sadly, avoiding jimins gaze.
jimin stayed silent, staring off as if he was lost in deep thought. "you know, i used to think that. i used to lay in bed at night and think that maybe if i hadnt met you, i wouldnt even have to worry about coming out to my father, or to the entire damn kingdom. but, i could never regret you. never. no matter how much it might mess with my status in line for the thrown, i will never not want to love you. so, whatever happens, we have each other. how does that sound?" jimin said in slow, steady words, making sure that yoongi understood completely.
"it sounds good, really good." yoongi smiled, leaning back into jimins body. jimin hugged yoongi this time, smiling to himself. "i love you loads, you know. so much." jimin said lovingly, still holding yoongis body close to his own. yoongi smiled, and bit his lip, hiding his blush from jimins line of view. "i love you more." he muttered, cheeks still flaring. jimins heart leaped in his chest, and he then knew, that everything was going to be okay.
