Time Travel _ Yoonmin

Chapter 7

Just the right time, as only a few seconds later Hoseok opened the door. "I am just here to tell you that Min Yoongi is calling for you. He wants to see you."

He said no more and turned around to go, leaving Jimin only to follow him. While walking, he quietly stared at the taller man's back which was covered by a lavish white and blue gown. He betrayed Min Yoongi in the history Jimin knew and arranged the assassination at the temple. However, the person he saw attacking Yoongi, was different. That doesn't let Hoseok of the hook though.

In silence, the two men walked past many more rooms and passed through some carefully groomed gardens. Jimin dragged his feet, forcing himself to walk to this unwanted meeting. Reminding himself to be wary, he followed Hoseok at a safe distance.

Deep in the castle, they came to a stop in front of a wall of gorgeously painted screens. As they opened, they could already hear Min Yoongi's voice.

"You kept me waiting, Jimin."

Jimin swallowed but chose the higher road of silence and kept quiet, simply bowing as an apology. As he looked back up again, he noticed that Min Yoongi was sitting alone on the dais. His presence filled the whole room, his lingering gaze fixed on him.

Forming rows on either side of him were Jeon Jungkook, Kim Taehyung, Jung Hoseok, and a few other men Jimin had not seen so far. Some of the country's brightest minds, strongest warlords and infamous conquerors, all in one room.

Jimin was staring in awe until he was pulled from his thoughts by Yoongi's thundering voice. "Don't just stand there. Approach me."

Keeping a tender grip on his nerves, he slowly went up to Yoongi and kneeled before him. The warlord looked him over with cold eyes and a blank expression.

"Henceforth, you will reside in this castle and give your service to me."

Jimin didn't dare to look up at the other man but whispered his answer. "As I said before, I have another job, so I must politely decline."

Min Yoongi took his time with his answer before unemotionally stating that that would not matter to him and Jimin only had to agree and say 'yes'.

This was a precarious situation for Jimin, and he didn't think Yoongi would be so gracious if he decided to run again. He reminded himself that his best shot for going home was to spend the next three months here.

"Yes... My lord." Jimin said, sitting back up to face the other man, "How am I to serve you."

A small smile parted Yoongi's lips before he replied. "However you like."

He took Jimin's wrist, drawing him nearer. His fingers, he noticed, were elegantly long.

"It is your duty to stay nearby. That is what I need of you." Yoongi's voice seemed pleasant to Jimin's ears, though there wasn't a hint of kindness in his words, "You will be my lucky charm as I unify this nation and all that lies beyond. And don't fear. You shall be known as a prince from afar and will be treated as such. Spend your days horseback riding, or with cards and games if it suits you."

Jimin's eyes widened. He was just supposed to loaf around for three months doing 'royal' things?

"I'll go stir crazy if that's all I can do..." He mumbled unconsciously.

"What?" Min Yoongi slowly leaned forward in his seat.

Jimin heard a delighted giggle from behind him as soon as he realized that he had said that out loud.

Min Yoongi seemed to think for a few seconds. "So be it." He locked eyes with Jimin, "Then I appoint you as my chatelain."

Jimin tried to hide his confusion behind a relieved grin. A chatelain? That's the caretaker of a castle, right? Tis statement caused some upstir in the small assembly, most men supporting min Yoongi's idea, few exclaiming they could not trust him, saying it wouldn't make any sense appointing him as the chatelain of Yeontan Castle. Jimin let them talk without interrupting while Lord Yoongi was silently watching him, that wicked smile of his playing across his face. Jimin looked away. He would only have to put up with this for three more months.

As the group quited down, Jimin looked back at Min Yoongi. "I won't let you down." And I will survive these three months I am trapped here and will make it back to the future.

Yoongi carefully grabbed Jimin's chin, raising his eyes to his own. He looked satisfied. 

"I plan to take very good care of you, Jimin."

Why is 90% of my book dialogue? Lol
