Saving The Prince (Jikook fanfic ~ Smut Warning)

Chapter 2

~the morning after Jimin was captured~

~Jungkook's P.O.V~

The castle was panicked, all around there was shouting and arguments. I was the only one crying alongside the King and Queen. A letter had been left on his door, telling the reader of Prince Jimin's capture.

 I was the one to find it this morning after going to wake Jimin up, I saw the letter but didn't read it because he was sleeping in unusually late. So I just burst in, looking for him in his bed, then in his en suite and finally in the bathing room. After not being able to find him, I returned to his room where I opened the letter and realized what was going on.

I reported his absence to the guards immediately and ran to the King, there were tears in my eyes as I thrust the letter into his hands. He was furious as you could imagine, he requested the Queen and when she arrived, he told her of his kidnapping. The queen could not hold herself together and began to sob, I gave her a fresh handkerchief and comforting words. 

"Why would anyone do this to us?" She wept, seeking her husband's comfort. "I just don't get it, what have we done to deserve this?"

The King shook his head, "I don't know dear, but we have to find them." Tears streamed silently down his face, he wiped them quickly and cleared his throat. "Organize a search party, we need to knock on doors and ask around too. Bring suspicious people in for questioning. We will not stop until our son is found."

...

Later, in Jimin's room, I was cleaning up. I couldn't hold myself together and I was crying on Jimin's bed. I'd only been allowed on Jimin's bed once, when he felt sad and wanted a hug; we ended up cuddling for half an hour. I wanted to return to that moment and stay there forever, I wanted my Jiminie back. 

I cried harder as I remembered how secretive we'd had to be about our feelings for each other, "it was for the good of the people" Jimin said once. He said that if the people found out, they wouldn't want to follow the King and Queen anymore. Jimin told him how hard it would be to explain himself if they were ever found out. 

I started to hyperventilate as I remembered the letter saying that none of us would ever see Jimin again, I miss him already. But there could still be a chance, if the kidnapper was found, I could somehow convince them to take me to Jimin.

I decided then that I would do anything to get my precious Jiminie back, I am nothing without him.

~3rd person~

The witch stopped at a small fishing town near the sea. She checked the cart, Jimin was sound asleep, she removed the cloth from his gills and soaked it in salt water before placing it back. Jimin woke up, feeling groggy from the trip. 

The witch walked through the small town, debating whether or not to buy some food for herself. 

Jimin piped up from the cart, "mm what's that smell?"

"The bakery," she snapped, "we're not stopping."

Jimin shifted in his seat as the witch kept walking, he admired the view of the sea. They were on a hill, moving down towards it. Jimin had never seen the sea up close before, he'd seen it in paintings and from the tower of the castle. 

...

Jimin marveled at the beauty and vastness of the sea. He could not comprehend it's greatness, how it stretched from one corner of the world to the other. Jimin wondered how something could possibly be so big and beautiful. 

They were a long way from home. 

"We're here," the witch said, interrupting Jimin's trail of thought.

"What do you mean 'we're here'?" Jimin exclaimed.

"Get out."

"Get out?" 

"Out!" 

The witch shook Jimin out of her cart and pointed to the sea. 

"You are a merman, go to the sea." She declared.

"And you are kidding."

The witch shook her head and tapped her foot, "I'm not here to say goodbye."

"Then why are you here?"

"To get rid of you. I never want to see your face again."

Jimin huffed and looked at the sea, then back to the witch, who was walking away already. He thought the sea was pretty but he hadn't wanted to live there. He was happy to observe but definitely not live there, plus, who knows what else is in there. He would also never see his friends and family again, or the castle, or his Jungkook. He misses his Kookie most of all.

Jimin considered his options, then turned to the sea and shuffled in slowly. What other choice did he have? The witch had left, he had a tail and gills. He sighed then slipped under the waves.

...

~Jimin's P.O.V~

It isn't all that bad under here, I'd been swimming for a while and I hadn't come across anything scary. It feels really weird having a tail and not having to go up for air, it feels much more efficient. I'd learnt to swim in a pool when I was younger, I had a swimming instructor at the time, he was very patient with me as I was scared of the water at first. Every time I feel scared, his words come back to me. 

His words were replaying in my mind now, "it is only as scary as you allow your mind to make it."

That was why I wasn't afraid when I saw a larger tail behind a rock. I swam over to investigate, but whatever it was had swum away. I hung around that spot for a little while before feeling a soft tap on my shoulder, when I turned, I first saw the webbed hand. 

"Who are you?" asked the mysterious creature.

"I-I'm Jimin," I began, "who are you?" I stuttered, he was so beautiful.

"My name is Yoongi, I live a little way away from here. Where do you live?" His eyes glimmered beautifully in the water, a pale green.

"I, uh, live in th-the castle."

"What castle? There are no castles around here, you must be a long way from home." His lips moved so cutely, he looked like he was pouting. 

"Y-yeah, I guess I am," I giggled. 

"Well," he began, "you could stay at my place for a while if you wanted, I have a spare bed that you can borrow."

His cute gummy smile melted my heart, "thank you, I just need a little while to clear my head."

Yoongi grabbed my hand and laced our fingers together, we swam slowly back to his house - if you could call it a house - talking about nothing and everything.
