Jester | Jikook |

Chapter 31: Punishment

              Jimin was called to the throne room after what just happened... Jimin wanted to apologize but he really wasn't at fault... Jimin just didn't want to get in trouble. He can already imagine Jungkook going to try to kiss him or act angry towards him.

           Slowly, Jungkook's personality was coming up to the surface and Jimin can just say that Jungkook was a very curious man... He wanted to discover many things even discover how it feels to kiss someone or even fall in love. Jungkook was only human afterall.

         Jimin then approached the throne room hoping Jungkook wasn't going to get angry at him. Jimin just feared Adviser Yang catching them and couldn't have Jungkook get a huge lecture again..

            Once Jimin walked into the throne room, Jungkook was sitting on his throne with his legs crossed and hands always resting on the arm rests of the throne. "Welcome back, Park Jimin..." Jungkook said with a stare as Jimin stepped up to Jungkook placing on his Jester mask.

               "Hello, My King..." Jimin greeted Jungkook with no shame since he had his face covered with the mask. "It's night time and you should be sleeping when the sun sets, Jungkook..." Jimin claimed as Jungkook shook his head.

               "I'm feeling very angry right now and I want you to make me smile. Don't stop dancing until you make me smile Park Jimin." Jungkook added as Jimin nodded. In Jimin's mind, he will be able to entertain Jungkook quickly and make him smile as soon as he starts to dance so this would be easy!

              However, Jimin didn't know Jungkook was making Jimin dance for a long time. He was keeping a serious stare as Jimin began to dance. So far, it was one minute into the choreography and Jungkook didn't crack a smile at all.

              The Jester costume wasn't too puffy... It was just good enough for Jimin to move around freely but what really bothered him was the mask. How was he supposed to mean each move when there was a huge mask over his face, blocking the whole point of the ballet? "Fuck... He isn't smiling..." Jimin said in his head as he still tried harder and harder trying to please the King.

           Suddenly Jungkook yawned and stood to stretch as Jimin was moving quicker but Jungkook just had a blank face. "What type of game is he playing?!" Jimin thought as Jungkook stopped in front of the performer just to tilt his head looking at Jimin through the black holes of his mask.

            With another move Jimin quickly took off the mask and tried his best to make Jungkook smile but even when he was really close to making him smile... Jungkook seemed like he was trying his best not to do so.

               "I'm going to drink tea... Don't stop and I better see you dancing when I get back." Jungkook said as he left the room leaving Jimin to continue dancing. Jimin knew he could stop and take a break but he felt bad. The Jestet didn't want to stop and thought Jungkook was just beyond the door hearing Jimin's footsteps, ready to open the door if the footsteps suddenly stopped.  

           Jimin kept dancing and feeling like he will be sore in the morning if he keeps pushing himself to dance again and again.. But yet again he couldn't leave Jungkook unpleased.

        Jungkook didn't return around Jimin's 6th time repeating his long ballet, Jimin was struggling to even keep up. He took no breaks and was losing energy. Jungkook came back in with a bottle of water and walked infront of Jimin. Still not making a smile.

            Suddenly Jimin dropped onto his knees panting heavily as Jungkook smiled hearing the sweet pants that escaped Jimin's mouth. "Ah...h-ahh...ah...ah-" Jimin panted as Jungkook finally smiled and got down on one knee to give Jimin the bottle of water.

            "Good job~ I actually smiled right there." Jungkook stated as Jimin looked up out of breath.

              "Y-you smiled when I gave up..." Jimin stated as he accepted the bottle of water and was still trying to restore his energy. "W-why would you do that to m-"

             "Didn't you want to be treated like a regular Jester? Well this is how I want to be entertained and if you are my Jester you can't stop your act until you see me smile." Jungkook claimed as Jimin looked up in disbelief.

              "Y-you're trying to kill me..." Jimin whispered looking down as his legs began to hurt. It was like he was running a mile and finally came to a stop.

               "No... Just be lucky I'm not like those kings who torture their Jester for entertainment. Be happy that I actually smile through your dancing." Jungkook smirked as he stood up patting Jimin's sweaty hair.

               "And this isn't torture?You're doing this... Because I refused to kiss you back, Right? This is what it was all along?" Jimin wondered as Jungkook looked back approaching the door of the throne room.

             "I don't know.. Maybe? Maybe not.. Guess you'll never know! Goodnight, Park Jimin~" Jungkook blew a kiss at Jimin as he turned off the lights in the throne room making Jimin's eyes widen from the dark that sureounded him. It made Jimin scared but all he could do was lay on the ground hoping to get up eventually.

            Jimin finally stood up in the dark and walked out of the throne room drinking the bottle of water. He never expected Jungkook to get so angry over Jimin refused a kiss... He had to do it or else Jungkook would get in trouble with Adviser Yang.

            "I guess I'll have to skip another meal tomorrow morning.... I can't leave the castle to eat since there's no doubt I'll be waking up in pain!" Jimin muttered along his way to his room.

            Right now, he just wanted to get to bed... He had to blame himself on this since he didn't want Jungkook to treat him like a special person, he wanted Jungkook to treat him like he would treat his Jester... and so far? Jimin hated it but couldn't really stay mad at the King.

          Jimin managed to change out of his Jester outfit and take a cold bath hoping it will help. After, he wore his white T-shirt Jungkook loved, long blue PJ's and white socks to sleep. As soon as Jimin got to bed, he began to think of Jungkook and their first kiss they shared today.

           Yes, Jimin did regret pulling away and wished he can just have Jungkook's lips against his like earlier today. They were soft and warm... The feeling Jimin has always hoped for when he would look at the King's lips everyday.
