It took a while but he was able to finally reach the kingdom's castle. It doesn't matter how long he's been living at the kingdom, he can never grow tired of the ancient tree's beauty. Looking up and seeing the golden crisp leaves that never fallen from their branches and sparkling brightly, sprinkling gold dust onto the surrounding grounds and waters that rejuvenates wherever it touches for miles. A reason as to why the kingdom looked well kept, clean and the nature forever staying it's healthiest color- except when seasons change of course.
He easily makes his way inside with the several royal guards that he passes, without hesitation, open every gate and door for him to pass through. He was a 'Park' after all.
The Park bloodline, stood very close to the Kim bloodline since the very beginning. The first Kim who was crowned as, worthy enough to be by Taehyung himself, king had an ally by his side. More like a friend, a friend he's known for many years growing up. The history books say that the Kim and Park bloodlines grown so close that they treated each other as family. It wasn't long after once the Kim's were destined royalty that the Park family vowed to stand by them till the very end, like a guardian.
Many people say, 'well why do they[kims] need protection from the parks?' Since the Kim Family has a passed down trait that made them invincible- Intuitive aptitude.
Intuitive aptitude, the key reason as to how great the Kim's were. No matter how complex something was they could pinpoint exactly how to do it and have their bodies physically trained to do so in less than milliseconds. They'd know every type of style, organism, skill, etc without the need to learn and the power was immense. It meant they knew how to do everything, even the impossible, they were the equivalent beings to a god. It's what gained respect from everyone around the globe, even fear, but it also lured other powerful creatures and rulers to behead them generations ago once they had their name. This was a reason why the Park Family sweared to be part of the Kim's for eternity. To protect a holy power and it's owners but most importantly to protect a close friend.
What better way to protect such beings and becoming their aid and also to protect themselves they were gifted a power that 1% of people had but could have been the key roll to saving millions in the blink of an eye. Restoration.
Restoration - also known as healing - was the rarest type of supernatural power that was gifted to the smallest percentage of people but as it was granted by the heavens above, once the Park Family was given such a power it increased the 1% to 3%. It wasn't a big gap, but as generations went on the Park Family varied in many sections when there were mothers in the family that gave birth to more than three or four children that have passed down the roll, then did there next generation and the generation after that.
Not only did the Kim's depend on the Park bloodline but many others as well ever since they've spread to many different kingdoms, lands, countries to help all. It was them who made it possible to cure deadly sicknesses by having every course of data saved into their brains, who decreased the rates of deaths in the passed 200 years, and who made the world into a better- heathier place. Hospitals, volunteer aids, many fields involving medical use, there was always a Park Family member standing at the very top of its food chain. It's why they're so well known and equality respected like the Kim's.
Of course, the Parks had to learn how to fight and they perfected such skill, but it wasn't much needed in the modern world they lived on today. Even so, for whatever happens, they couldn't let go of their roots, god knows what could happen in the future.
"Jimin, What brings you here?" Prince Seokjin lifts a brow and gets up from the large glass table he was sitting by, closing a virtual notepad shut.
Yes, there modern world was a mixture of old and futuristic creations all held in together, technology has grown bigger and stronger for many years thanks to the Min Family[that I'll talk about in a later chapter], but that didn't mean many people were ready to give up old fashioned ways. It was odd, seeing many generations of creations mashed together but it wasn't necessarily bad, it was another reason to keep history in the palm of our hands, to remember, to grow fond of, while life keeps moving forward.
Jimin finally made it to where he needed to go, and what he needed to say had to be slipped out one way or the other, and first he was going to think how he would be able to say such things but no matter the outcome it would be the same.
"I haven't seen you in a while, work as a royal guard is keeping you busy." Seokjin comments with a smile as he pats the other's shoulder.
"Of course, it's what I've prepared for a while," Jimin does a smirk of his own before it fades rather quickly, "but I didn't come here off my duties to have a chat with you."
"Okay..." Seokjin wanted to point out how rude it was and jokingly boss the other around but with Jimin's expression he felt as though it wasn't the right time yet. "What's your reasoning then."
He prepared for the worst.
"It's about Namjoon."
Okay, he wasn't prepared for that.
Seokjin heavily sighs, his fingers twitching instinctively, "Jimin you know how much I hate to hear that topic-"
"I know! Believe me I know and forgive me if it ruins your day and your mood in general but I have to tell you." Jimin knew it was over stepping a boundary that he promised, both as a friend and ally, that he wouldn't dare to speak of it again but he had a hunch that his reasoning to bringing it up would be valid. "What if I told you that Namjoon didn't die and he's still alive to this day."
"If he was alive to this day he would have been found by now, in fact many years ago!" Seokjin raises his voice slightly.
"He wouldn't have because you and your parents gave up just as much as everybody else did." Jimin manages to keep his voice calm and in check, giving his point across that he doesn't want to fight.
"We gave up because there were imposters left and right, fake posers, fake news, fake everything about him!" Seokjin points out, "for Christ sake people from a whole different continent claimed that they had him, unknown people- people who were complete nobodies just to have attention...pathetic."
"I understand, but please don't get so worked up, I'm just trying to tell you-"
"You know already that I would get worked up by this. You know that Jimin, he was my only brother, how could I not get worked up at all!" Seokjin fumes as he went on, "I was just starting to forget about the topic and here you are bringing it all back." He turns away, tries to dismiss the entire conversation by walking back to the table he was sat before, in the immensely large work space given to him by his father.
"You know well that you'd never forget him." Jimin says into the silence. "Namjoon's kidnapping is the reason why you're awake every night, thinking of a possibility that maybe-just maybe he really is alive. But you're the type that can't help but believe facts."
That hit a nerve in Seokjin's body but he didn't dare snap, not yet anyways, as he quietly listens to what Jimin has to say.
"I'm just here to tell you that..expect something during your big day." And just like that, Jimin leaves the area, giving the other sometime to cool down.
Seokjin's birthday grand feast. That was the big day he was talking about. Every year his birthday would be celebrated. Many new things happen, different from the rest specifically just for him. It was a grand celebration all across the kingdom, people from far and wide that were either close to the Kim Family or allies would come and bring a taste of there own cultures and history. Hell, it was such a big deal that the celebration would be broadcasted worldwide for the whole world to see. It was something not many could never grow tired of.
So what was the chance for the peach haired boy who was visiting the Kim's kingdom for a short while to come to the celebration because anybody in the kingdom was welcomed- a close 90%. If he doesn't come on his own well...he'll just figure out another way because if he does go the person that would know if he was the real Namjoon or not would be Seokjin himself.
There were only 3 days left for the celebration to commence.
