Глава двадцать восьмая

Ya girl is back with another update, this time it's only HALF a month, a little less terrible.

Jimin bit the inside of his cheek.
This speech was supposed to make people react in some way... why was everyone silent?
An atmosphere hung above the crowd and the speaker, yet he couldn't decipher what kind of mood it was. Yoongi looked around. He saw some creatures with tears in their eyes and were worriedly and wordlessly throwing gazed at each other. He understood, he felt that the people were moved. And confused. And upset. And ashamed. Of course they were. They only saw what the higher ups wanted them to see.

Which was a public shaming of Yoongi, of clouding their dear commander's mind and that said leader saving him and running away, hiding. They only saw them as the bad guys, but didn't stop to think what they were actually feeling.

He then looked at Jimin. The fairy was devastated. For some reason, he truly believed that no one forgave him and that his subordinates hated him. Yoongi knew that it wasn't the case. The crowd just needed a little push. Plus, he couldn't bear to see his lover like that. Broken and hopeless. Therefore, he intruded.

"Don't you see how desperately Jimin wants your forgiveness? He worried over the fact that he acted wrong, worried how he would face you, knowing your disappointment. Hell, he's worried right now!" Yoongi's deep voice boomed through the trees, making even the birds silent. "I thought that you all knew your leader better. He is incredibly loyal, extremely hardworking and dedicated, and so goddamn charming and beautiful! And you blame me for falling for him?"
At this point he sounded genuinely scandalised.
"If anything, you should be blaming HIM for being so fucking perfect and adorable!"

A few chuckles traveled through the sea of creatures. The blue-haired boy smiled at this lighter atmosphere.
"My point is, sure. Jimin might've acted.." he tried searching for a word that would neither insult the blonde nor cause controversy, "not by law exactly.."
Namjoon snorted, the 4 fairies and the human shushing him immediately after.
"But, come on. It's not like you all are perfectly clean, am I right?"
After some murmurs died down he threw his final dart.

"So, what do you all say, do you forgive this softy of a commander?"
The village finally lost it. Creature erupted in shouts and cheers, calling encouragements and kind words. Jimin almost melted in gratitude, seeing the ones he cared for a lot, support him and care back. He exhaled and slumped down on the ground, relieved. Yoongi came up to the fairy, ruffling his head as he crouched next to him. The younger smiled at him widely, his eyes disappearing into crescent moons.

"Thank you, my hero." He almost whispered, but the latter heard it anyhow, despite the roaring crowd.
"Hey now, don't give me that much credit. It's you who lead them righteously and loyally, it's you who moved them with your speech, it's you who made such a strong connection with your people, and made them in to a one big family." Yoongi spoke only truth. "And hey, I never lied about falling so damn hard for you. So I'm sticking by your side anyhow now. It's your fate."

Jimin laughed whole heartedly at his responce, while Yoongi wondered if it was acceptable scarring the eyes of little children by kissing the fairy right then and there. Deciding that he did not want to stir up more trouble, given that he had just gotten out of some.
He did however hug him tightly, to which the crowd reacted in more cheers and whistles.
"So, how about you go back to your leader duties?" He whispered in the other's ear, sending whoever's down his spine.
"That sounds great," Jimin replied back and stood up, facing the crowd once again.

"Thank you all so much! I hope you realise that I love you all! And I'm so grateful that you forgave me.." he almost shed another tear but he decided that it should be left behind already.
"Anyway, back to the present. I see you have all are preparing beautifully for the upsizing festival. How about we make this one the best one the world has seen?"

No need to say it, the crowd exploded in cheers and cries. All were talking over one another, forming a big mess of spoken stories. Jimin looked over the creatures fondly.

The saying that said that you only realised how much something is important to you until you lose it was right. He cared so much for his village, his duties, even with the bumps along the road. He made a promise in his mind, to take good care of them from now on.
