hellooooo army!! just a disclaimer before you read this story: this is my first ever ff that i've decided to post & it might not be the best but i hope you like it:) enjoyyy💜 i purple you

Something was off in the way the wind whispered through the streets of Bangtania. The feeling was subtle, but it was there nonetheless. Few people littered the openness of the courtyard and the way the trees bristled with the breeze made Taehyung wince slightly. Something was definitely off.

"Your highness!" A voice called from behind where Taehyung stood on an over looking balcony of the courtyard.

He didn't even bother to turn his head at the approaching voice and continued to look out at the unsettling community below him.

"Your highness?" The voice asked again.
"What is it, Jimin." Taehyung responded impatiently.

"Your father requests your presence in the throne room immediately."

Still facing away from the noble awaiting his company, Taehyung sighed deeply.
"Jimin, what did I tell you about calling me 'Your highness?'"

The boy waiting behind him was silent for a few moments until the noise of footsteps crept close to where Taehyung stood.

"Tae. Your father is going to be furious with you." Jimin murmured next to the charming prince.
Taehyung's gaze shifted over to the shorter, blushing boy on his right. The two have been friends since they were children and Taehyung knew he could convince Jimin to do anything for him.

"Let him wait. I have better things to do than be lectured by my old man." He simply responded, his eyes meeting the other's.

"And what would that be, Tae." Jimin whispered, face flushed.

Taehyung inched closer to him and bent his mouth down to his ear.
"You'll find out shortly." He replied with a lick of his lips.

Jimin froze at the sight of the beautifully mesmerizing man standing before him, tongue gliding smoothly across his pink lips.

Taehyung noticed a slight bulge in the other's pants and smirked.

"Your high- I mean Tae. You will be punished if you keep your father waiting too long." Jimin said, still entranced by the lustful look in his prince's eyes.

Not breaking eye contact, Taehyung took a step back and reached for something in his pocket.

A look of disappointment appeared in Jimin's eyes and Taehyung found it absolutely amusing. Anyone he's ever met has swooned over his 'to die for' features and misting personality. His ability to wrap anyone around his fingers at all times was one he used often to get what he wanted.

He was a known heartbreaker among Bangtania yet people came crawling back.

Managing to find the object in his pockets he was looking for, he held a small bottle filled with clear liquid out to Jimin and placed it in the noble's miniature hands.

"What is it?" He asked quietly, the bulge in his trousers growing at the sudden hand contact.

"It's something I need you to put in my father's wine tonight." Taehyung answered with a warm smile.

"Wha- why? Is this poison?" Jimin questioned alarmingly, inspecting the small bottle carefully.

The heat from their closeness a few seconds ago faded and Taehyung's fingers twitched in irritation.

"Of course not, Chim Chim." He responded with another boxy smile.

The two made eye contact again and the look of alarm on Jimin's face disappeared as he stared into the deep depths of blue in Tae's eyes.

"Then, what is it?"

"It's a sleeping formula. My dear father hasn't been sleeping lately because of the recent threats coming from Sonyeondan's new king. I merely just want to help him out."

Jimin smiled back at him and stepped closer to his prince, closing the chilled distance between them.
"Is there anything else you need, Tae?" Jimin asked innocently, batting his eyes at the younger.

Taehyung chuckled lightly and patted his friend's pink hair.

"No I think that'll be all for now, Chim Chim."
Taehyung turned to the balcony entrance behind him, leaving a flattered yet disappointed Jimin behind.

Upon entering the castle, Taehyung was met with his royal guard staring intensely at him from the other side of the hallway.

"Your majesty." The knight addressed with a quick nod of his head.

"Hello Yoongi. I assume you were sent by my father to fetch me too?"

The knight slid off his helmet to reveal his messy ebony hair and as he opened his mouth to speak, the balcony doors opened and Jimin entered the hallway.

"Oh hey Yoongi." The pink-haired boy exclaimed with a bright smile.

"Jimin," The knight responded, "you look as joyous as ever."

Jimin blushed and Taehyung felt a strong pang of jealousy course through him.

"Jimin and I were just about to go attend to my father's needs. Right Chim Chim?" Taehyung said, turning to look at Jimin.

Jimin just nodded, a knowing look in his eyes, and headed off in the direction of the throne room.
After he turned the corner, Taehyung turned back to Yoongi and smiled.

"So why are you here again?" He asked sweetly, trying his best to appear innocent.

"King Kim wants you. Apparently the now previous heir of Sonyeondan is visiting for a meeting with the royal council and you're supposed to be there for it." Yoongi responded with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Oh. Good. I'd like to meet this new king of Sonyeondan."

With that, Taehyung turned to leave but was halted by a metal-encased hand gripping his wrist.

"Wait. If you don't mind my asking, what was it that you and Jimin spoke of on the balcony?" The knight asked, his cold grip tightening.

Taehyung was stunned by the fiery look in Yoongi's eyes and attempted to pull away.

"He was just asking if he could sleep in my room tonight." The blonde prince answered with a slight smirk.

Yoongi unleashed his grip on Taehyung and backed off.

"I see..." he started, "well you shouldn't play games with Jimin. His heart is too large for such cruelty."

Yoongi held a stern gaze on Tae for a few seconds more, then left in the same direction Jimin had.

A bitter frown formed on Taehyung as he watched his head knight go, and instead of following suite, he decided to take the long route down to the throne room.
