Master or your Majesty?

A royal promise.

"How much?"
Jung Hoseok smirked cocking his head to the side enjoying the look of desperation in the Kings eyes.
"Pardon?"
Jungkook frowned with rage trying to control the fear of it all. He wanted to come out but he wanted it to be said by him and only him.
"How much for you to keep your mouth shut?"
"King Jeon are you bribing me?"
"If that's what you want to call it...then yes I am."
Jung Hoseok hummed with amusement tapping his finger against his lip.
"How about the crown?"
"What?"
Jungkook said the words but knew exactly what he meant but it was too shocking to think about.
"You heard make me King and I'll forget everything I saw."
"I can't do that...my father trusted me with his land before he died."
"And would it not be disrespectful to break his tradition?"
Jungkook thought back to his fathers royal tradition and felt his heart break in an instant.
"No royal will marry or have sexual relations with the same sex..."
"Exactly so technically you're breaking the law."
"But..."
Jungkook put his head down with shame that his father might be watching turning in his grave.
"As royal council I kept your secrets but...if you can't follow the rules and give up the crown there's only one more option."
Jungkook frowned in concern at the light and joy in Jung Hoseok eyes.
"And that is?"
"You have to marry."
"But I can't marry Jimin it's against my dads rules."
"Who said anything about it being Jimin?"
Jungkook flinched in pain knowing exactly what this bastard was getting at.
"I...I can't..."
"Then you've failed your father."
Jungkook winced at those words picturing the disappointment and shame on his fathers face to know he had lost his crown.
"I..."

Jung Hoseok raises his eyebrow and Jungkook went silent with anger and pain.
"Make your choice Jungkook the man you love or betraying your father."
He wanted to die at his those words but he had no other choice and he knew that. If he lost his crown he might as well take a giant crap on his dads grave.
"I guess...I have no choice..."
"But what will become of your boyfriend?"
"I don't know..."
Jungkook felt the tears roll down his cheeks knowing in his heart what he wanted and knowing that hurting Jimin was killing him slowly.
"Time for a bad break up I think?"
Jungkook nodded his head feeling lifeless at the thought of losing Jimin just as he had found him.
Jung Hoseok placed his hands on the boys shoulders smiling gently to himself.
"It's the right thing to do you understand."
"Yeah..."
