Jimin squeezes his eyes shut as he feels Jeongguk peck his cheek, grabbing his hand a little too rough as he pulls him down from the altar. People threw rice as they walked down, Jimin smiles sadly at them, tears in his eyes as he turns to glance at Yoongi who smiles back at him with a sad smile.

There's a horse-drawn carriage waiting outside the cathedral, Jimin gulps as he climbs in after Jeongguk, sitting down in the carriage, biting his lip because it's so excluded from the outside world, nothing but a small window in front of them where the coachman sits, hands gripping the reigns of the white horses. There's only a small window on Jeongguk's side while the door is on his. The door closes with everyone crowding around.

Jimin leans back into his seat, crossing his arms over his chest as he glares at the wood of the interior. Jeongguk places his hand on Jimin's thigh, giving it a tight squeeze. Jimin slaps his hand away, "don't touch me," he huffs out and Jeongguk turns in his seat, a smile on his lips.

"I do believe we're supposed to consummate the wedding, we would've gone into the other room after our 'I will' like we are supposed to but you didn't want that," Jeongguk sneers and Jimin laughs.

"After all we did back there, that long, horrible ceremony isn't enough? I swore on the sacred blade, I said I will, we did the hand binding, I think that's more than enough," Jimin says, eyebrows knitted together, sneering at the Duke angrily.

"You're my husband now, my lawfully wedded husband," He hums, hand holding the Prince's face in his hands, pressing his lips onto Jimin's and the boy clenches his eyes shut, puffing out his cheeks in distaste. Jeongguk pulls away, licking his lips, "You taste good, Prince," He hums.

"In truth? Because you're unpalatable," Jimin says, repulsed by his new husband's actions. Jeongguk out of spite leans over and licks Jimin's lips, snickering and the prince shoves his chest with disgust.

"You repulsive sorner!" He exclaims, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Calm down, it's just a jest," Jeongguk rolls his eyes. His eyes glint with mischief and Jimin wants to scoff because he's practically married a child. He slings an arm around the Prince's shoulders and his other hand reaching out to touch Jimin's knee. The Prince only sucks in a breath, giving up on fighting because the Duke seems to be persistent and unwilling to listen to him. He knows it's a horrible thought that he should just give in with his antics, but he's too tired.

"I give up," Jimin sighs, succumbing to Jeongguk's ill intentions because he knows whatever the man wants, he'll get it.

"At least act like you're happy to be married to me, act like you're in a jovial mood, just for tonight at least and then you can go back to despising me," Jeongguk sighs, glancing out the window and Jimin's eyes widen slightly. The boy almost sounds sincere and Jimin looks back at him.
