The Silent Prince | Jikook |

Chapter 31: Understand it

             The two reached the house at the break of sunset after a car ride that lasted so long in the eyes of the Chief. He felt trapped in his thoughts for fifteen minutes, which in reality, felt like hours and hours to dread telling Jungkook. Jimin had no other choice, breaking his heart to save Jungkook seemed like the only way he could go. The younger happily ran out of the car and waited for Jimin at the porch while he began to unlock the front door. Deciding to wait for the love of his life to walk in with him.

            Jungkook kept looking back at his king with a huge smile pressed onto the silent prince's face. He was excited to walk in with Jimin and be able to hug him, kiss him and most importantly, cuddle with him in each other's arms. It should be noted that Jungkook always waited for the end of the day to come home and hug Jimin close and have the older kiss him happily. However, something felt off towards the love of his life. Jimin seemed a bit closed off and silent. Let alone, he ignored Jungkook's signs in the car.

           Jungkook waited until Jimin stepped onto the porch. He walked up to him and grabbed his hand happily as they walked together into the house. "So... Jungkook.. What would you like to eat?" Jimin asked. Trying not to touch onto the subject since he wanted the boy to eat first before telling him. Jimin figured if he was to tell Jungkook now, Jungkook would get too sad to even eat anything.

            Jungkook walked in happily and turned around to face Jimin with a big smile. 'I want pizza' the boy signed as Jimin couldn't help but to chuckle and nod his head. 'A big box of it!' The younger continued as Jimin smiled at the boy. Watching him sign once more with his bright smile. 'Then we cuddle and kiss!' Jungkook continued to sign and gesture while the older took a moment before his smile faded. He knew after this, there would be no kisses or cuddles. Only dead silence and soft sobs coming from Jungkook if Jimin was to break his heart.

             "Let's order the pizza then..." Jimin stated as Jungkook stood there with his head tilted in concern. Not sure if the older read that part of his sign. Jimin walked over to the couch and stood in front of it as he dropped down and took out his phone to place an order without even calling. Just as Jimin was placing his order, Jungkook approached him and climbed over his lap while he kept his eyes locked on his lover with gleam only showing within his big and round eyes.

          "What is it, Jungkook..?" Jimin asked as Jungkook smiled again and wrapped his arms around the older's neck and laid his head down next to Jimin's head. The younger wanted time with Jimin after a long day... But, he never thought of it being his last. Jungkook pressed his lips against Jimin's cheek and kept kissing him while he was ordering the pizza. "Ah, stop it Jungkook, I can't see!" Jimin laughed. He grew to hate how much this would hurt him. Yet, this was better than seeing his silent prince dead instead of living. Just the road to breaking Jungkook's heart for his safety stretched so far now.

        After Jimin ordered the pizza, he locked his phone and set it down while the younger finally had his chance to kiss Jimin. Jungkook leaned in and tried to kiss Jimin, but the older placed his index finger over his lip and made the silent prince look confused once again. "Not now, my silent prince." Jimin said as Jungkook pouted. The reason why Jimin chose to do this was because he couldn't get close to Jungkook. If he did, he wouldn't be able to bring himself to tell Jungkook they couldn't be together like this.

         The younger pouted and rose his hands to sign to Jimin while the older read out loud. "No one.. Is.. Here.." Jimin read out for Jungkook while the younger nodded his head and cupped Jimin's face and looked at him. Mouthing the words 'different.' The older rose his hand up to Jungkook's face and looked down at his lips. "Different...? I'm not acting different, my prince. Your king is just... stressed out..." Jimin told his prince while Jungkook pulled a smile and leaned in to give Jimin a quick kiss on the lips.
