Chapter 25: Shy

           Jimin woke up hugging the red silk blanket close in his sleep. He held it really tightly last night and he was able to fall asleep better, despite thinking of the Adviser's harsh words... The older man seemed to scare Jimin and wonder what will happen when Jungkook isn't around, eventually leaving him with that strict man?

           Jimin sat up and stretched as he looked at the silk blanket that kept him company all night. Jimin then found himself blushing at the moment. Jungkook was very kind last night... He made sure Jimin felt happy and no longer sad on his first day at the castle. It made Jimin worry that soon Jungkook wouldn't be so kind all the time. Atleast he was warned about it.

                 Jimin folded the silk blanket away and sat down on the bed wondering what to do now. He wasn't told to do any tasks in the morning.. So all Jimin could really do was sit down and wash up in the bathroom for the day. Waiting for Jungkook to tell him what they will be doing today.

               Jungkook woke up a little later than he usually would. He was thinking of Jimin all night and that kept him up. He thought of the sweet older boy and started to hold himself awake at night and it was more difficult for him to fall asleep because of that.

           Jungkook entered his bathroom and washed his face. He was still sleepy but he knew he couldn't sleep in since he was the King... Even if he did nothing at all, he still needed to wake up in the morning to eat breakfast and do a little reading with help from Seokjin.

              Jungkook soon washed up, he was now wearing his formal red coat over a white dress shirt and wore his golden crown above his head happily. His coats always had his royal badges attatched to his outfit the night before he uses this attire. He wasn't in charge of what he wears.. It was mostly his dresser who picked out his clothes and set his badges along his coat the night before and drops the outfit off in his room before sunrise.

           After Jungkook got ready for the day, he decided to head over to Jimin's room to see if he was up already. He should have told Jimin he was free to roam around the castle if he wanted to and he could choose to eat something in the kitchen as well. Jungkook walked in to see Jimin sitting on his bed looking at the red silk blanket in his hands.

           Once Jungkook opened the door, Jimin quickly turned around to see Jungkook walking in and closing the door. "Good morning, My King." Jimin said as he stood up setting the blanket down.

             "You didn't go to have breakfast?" Jungkook asked as Jimin got silent.

              "How am I supposed to have breakfast here and how should I ask?" Jimin wondered as Jungkook let out a chuckle. "I'm too shy to head out and ask for that..." Jimin claimed as Jungkook walked up to Jimin and looked at him.

            "You'll need to know how to ask. You are not different from any other person here. Let's go have breakfast together but, this is the last time. You'll have to go in there and ask... Make friends with the chefs so they can help you make breakfast for yourself.

               "That's okay.. Maybe I can head out to eat for my meals." Jimin insisted as Jungkook folded his arms.

               "You're very shy for a performer." Jungkook said with a smile. "I don't want you to leave the castle whenever you need to eat. Maybe I'll have you eat with me from now on." Jungkook added as Jimin suddenly thought of the Adviser. Wouldn't this get the King in more trouble?

           "O-oh no... My King, that's alright! I don't mind walking out for a meal..." Jimin added as Jungkook refused to let Jimin walk out of the castle.

                 "Why are you so worried? What's wrong?" Jungkook asked as Jimin looked up at Jungkook.

                 "Your Adviser..." Jimin claimed. At that moment, Jungkook knew Jimin heard the conversation Jungkook and the adviser had. "Wouldn't he get angry?"

              "Jimin... I'm sorry you had to hear any of that yesterday. The Adviser is just worried, that's all. Don't pay attention to him. He is always grouchy and strict! The only person you have to focus on is me." Jungkook stated as Jimin felt slightly better now. "I'm the one in charge. Not him." Jungkook then smiled waving his hand back and forth to have Jimin follow. "Let's eat something or else we'll starve." Jungkook said as Jimin nodded following along with Jungkook.

              Jimin just hoped he wasn't going to be seen differently by the staff just because Jimin is the only one Jungkook can have meals with. The King chose to have meals with Jimin because he wanted him to feel welcomed. Nothing in this world was as good as this.

                However, Jimin wasn't fully under Jungkook's wing. Jungkook was only acting friendly towards the older boy and just wanted to spend the days getting used to him around the castle. As soon as Jimin starts being Jungkook's Jester, Jimin will not need to focus on getting to know Jungkook. He will be too busy performing for the King and following him every single day for the rest of his life.

              Jimin thought of this time to time... He knew all he would do was perform as soon as Taehyung gives up the contract. But this didn't scare him at all. Jimin actually liked staying in the castle and following Jungkook for the rest of his entire life. This only seemed a bit better to him. So far, Jimin made the King smile even if he wasn't trying.

              As Jimin sat down on a seat across from Jungkook in the feast room. The older boy thought Jungkook was nothing but a cold king... But he really was a gentle and kind man and hasn't really woken up on the wrong side of the bed just yet... his emotions were still hidden.
