"Well..." Jungkook took a deep breath, he was answering the same question too much these days than it was his liking. "Actually half brother."

Jimin's mouth gained the shape of an "O" but he decided to wait for the younger to talk his mind out.

"Are you not from here?" Jimin nodded and Jungkook chuckled at his cuteness. "Well, here the sultan has a lot of concubines and their children are the princes. Usually when a new sultan sits on the throne the other princes have to be executed but Yoongi decided to spare my life..." Jungkook looked sadly at his lap.

"Then what about the other princes and princesses?" Jimin's curious eyes darted around the room.

"The old sultan killed the only other prince... I guess that's why Yoongi spared me..." Jungkook took a deep breath and looked up now with a more confident smile. "The princesses though are not at risk so don't worry."

"But Yoongi spared you so so you are!" Jimin held both of Jungkook's hands in his reassuringly. The younger loomed strangely at him and released a bitter laugh.

"I'm dependent on his mood, Jimin." Jungkook shook his head. "Anyways, why were you crying there?" The grip on Jungkook's hands loosened as Jimin remembered the main reason why he was in the prince's room.

"I... Um... Actually..." Jimin's eyes were shifting around, not knowing where to really look.

"You don't have to tell me, you know... Just know that I'm always here for you." He smiled, his bunny teeth showing and Jimin awing at the sight.

"Thank you... But really... I just don't feel right to say it... It was partly my fault as well after all... Yoongi, he–"

"Wait! Yoongi is responsible for your tears!?" Jimin hesitantly nodded. "That bastard! I'll make sure he gets what he deserves!" Jungkook stood up suddenly ready to fight but Jimin clung onto his arm stopping him.

"Don't. It's fine." Jimin smiled weakly and stood up as well. He was still holding onto Jungkook's arm but was looking at his own feet. "Please, don't do anything. See you later."

After a small smile Jimin left the room and headed for his own only to find an unexpected visitor there.

"Why are you here?" Jimin questioned looking at the male sitting on his bed with a smug face.

"Well, you were gone for a while and I got worried." Yoongi laughed and leaned back on his arms. "Is it bad I'm worried about my genie?"

"No. However, that's the problem, you aren't worried." Jimin looked at the golden lamp on Yoongi's belt. It looked just so tempting at that moment. "Please, leave." Jimin looked to the side avoiding Yoongi's gaze.

"Is that the way you talk to your master?" Yoongi stood up and grabbed Jimin's jaw, squeezing his cheeks with pure anger. "After last night you still haven't learnt your lesson?" Yoongi whispered in Jimin's ear huskily.

"I thought we weren't talking about it." Jimin rolled his eyes and Yoongi clicked his tongue annoyed.

"Don't make me do something I'll regret," Yoongi hissed as he squeezed Jimin's jaw harder.

"Then just don't, idiot." Jimin sighed and harshly brushed away Yoongi's hand. "I may be your slave because of that wish but don't forget that as a genie I still have some self-respect. Don't treat me as a toy." Jimin glared back at the even angrier male.

"You'll regret these words Jimin... I promise you..." Yoongi walked past Jimin harshly bumping into his shoulder and exited the room, slamming the door.

Jimin quietly sat in the bed releasing a sigh of relief.
