The King's Brides | Jinkook

Chapter 5

It was dark, vivid red decorating the walls. Seokjin slowly open his eyes to the new scene, confused as he sat up. He looks around before getting up. He turns his head as a chiming bell ring far away, yet so close. "Where am I?" asked Seokjin, to no one particularly, and walked down the hallway(that was suddenly created). 

He then came to the outside, a crowd standing as laughter and joy fill the air. He notices the young king, a smile plastered on his face. Seokjin rushes over, but suddenly stops. Next to the young king, was someone beautiful. So beautiful. Their smile was charming and capturing.  Seokjin couldn't decide if he should go over, but the couple were walking towards him anyways. Jungkook's charming smile had turned to a glare, so did the beautiful person, following Jungkook.

"I hate you." said the young king. Seokjin didn't know why, but the three words felted like a hundred daggers to his heart. He reaches for the young king's hand as the couple turned to leave, begging him to stay. Jungkook shakes his hand away, smiling to the beautiful person as they walk. 

Please. Wait. Don't leave me. Seokjin wanted to say those words, but nothing came out of his mouth as he did so. He cries into his hands, the beautiful scenery turning into a dull grey, nothing. 

Please. Come. Back.

"Seokjin!"

Seokjin opens his eyes, meeting a worried Yoongi. "Are you okay?!" asked the younger, hands caressing the older's face. Seokjn sits up, nodding. "I-I'm fine, why?" asked Seokjn. 

"You were shaking a lot, crying, and sweating, while you were sleeping. Did you have a bad dream?" asked Yoongi. Seokjin shakes his head, embarrassed if he said he did. "Okay, but if you do have any problems, you can always tell me, hyung." said Yoongi, smiling. Seokjin smiles back. "Thank you, Yoongi." said Seokjin. 

They both change into their new outfits. "You look very beautiful, Yoongi." said Seokjin as he button up his shirt. Yoongi smiles shyly. "Thank you, hyung," he replied back. "You look beautiful, too." Seokjin smile, thanking the younger. They then walked down the hall, to the dining room, where breakfast awaits them. 

"I'll like to talk to all of you," said Jungkook, setting his knife and fork down. "The fifth bride will arrive tomorrow." Seokjin's eyes widens, but he keeps his mouth shut. "The wedding will be held immediately no matter what," said Jungkook, getting up. He then fixes his gaze on Seokjin. "Also, treat him nicely, will you? Any questions?" He waited a while before walking away. 

"Already," sighed Yoongi. "Well, as you heard, we all need to welcome the new bride in nice matter. Please, if you have any anger or jealously, control it. It is wrong to show that kinda treatment, especially if it embarrass the young king himself." He then stands up himself. "If you have anything bothering you, please, come to me. I'll like to help you." He slowly pushed in his chair and walked away.

Seokjin looks down at his food, questions flooding his mind. Why? Am I'm not good enough? Was I being too harsh? Does Jungkook even loves me? 

"Are you okay, hyung?" asked Namjoon, getting the older's attention. Seokjin smiles. "I'm fine, Namjoon." he said, setting his spoon down before standing up to walk away. The two watches as the older walked away, a tint of sadness add to it. "Are you okay?" asked Taehyung, his eyes fill with the word 'worried'. Namjoon smiles. "I-I'm okay, Taehyung-ah."

"But, you can barely walk when I went to woke you up this morning," said Taehyung, moving from his seat to the one next to Namjoon's. He places Namjoon's hand into the warmth of his own. "I know he kept you up all night, Joon. And it hurts to see you like this." Namjoon frowns, not knowing what to say to the younger. "We can't do this, Taehyung. You know it yourself." He removes the younger's hand, leaving the younger alone as he limped away.
