AETHER - JiKook/KookMin (English)

>>14<<

<<May>>

Jungkook strolls downstairs quickly, ready to train Jimin yet another day. Since the happenings between him and the Prince in the music room, a couple weeks prior, they've been both avoiding the subject like a pestilence.
It has never been mentioned again, and even if they didn't in fact agree to forget anything at all, they act as if it never happened in the first place.
Again.
When they where there, after Jimin had talked to Taehyung through the window, he realized that they where way too exposed, anyone could come in especially during the day time so, just like that, he excused himself and left without a word more.

It's not like they're avoiding each other, Gods not, not that, but..the topic 'kisses' seems to be taboo now. Or at least, for Jungkook it's only fair that he's confused, he has nothing to grip on aside from those two events in which Jimin showed interest in him, but that's it, and in an almost whole damn year of stay at the castle, well, it's not a lot of affection, right?

Jimin's sitting at his dressing table, quietly staring at himself in the reflection of the mirror from a while more than needed, staying in his room. The Prince sighs for the umpteenth time, then he grasps the blue jar of balm that Giselle gave him, opening that up and picking out a tiny bit of the greasy-like substance, applying it like he's been doing for the past weeks. He massages it on his bottom lip's cut, which is almost gone now. It's true that it healed fast, Giselle has been very kind to give that jar to him.

As for the taboo topic, Jimin is pretty sure that Jungkook likes him, it's easy to tell, and Jimin is honestly so surprised that he didn't get it before.
But that doesn't matter, doesn't help him out of his engagement, doesn't make things easy for the Prince.
He thought he had forgotten about the feelings for Jungkook, but that wasn't the case apparently, he now can tell, but what is he even supposed to do at this point?

Meanwhile, Taehyung is still pretty angry at Jungkook for hurting Jimin even though he apologized to both of them, Tae still holds the grudge and any time Jungkook tries to approach the servant or talk to him the other ignores it and scurries away.
All the servants that went with Jimin to Kafto are now back in Stoicheion, Siwon included, so Jimin has no longer the privacy to dress and undress himself in peace, again.

The heir to the throne gets finally up from his seat, walking two floors downstairs and then out of the palace, wearing his nice uniform to train, because he'll hell not ruin other clothes.
As he gets out of the estate, he covers his eyes with one hand at the bright lighting outside

>>Good morning, Your Majesty<<

Jungkook says, bowing a little as Jimin rubs his own eyes hastily
