Saving The Prince (Jikook fanfic ~ Smut Warning)

Chapter 5

~Jimin's P.O.V~

I've been tossing and turning all night, worrying about what has become of my Kookie after I left. I wondered if he was doing alright and where he was.

Will he come for me?

Am I too far gone for him to find me?

I got up after a little while, I was still tired but I heard loud crashing in the kitchen. I poked my head through the doorframe to see a confused Hoesok in a pink frilly apron tossing a wooden spoon over his shoulder.

Hoseok groaned in frustration, smearing various ingredients over his forehead as he attempted to wipe it.

"Uh, H-Hoesok?" I stuttered. He was making quite a mess, and he looked like he was attempting something reasonably easy.

I wanted to give him a hand since I kind of knew a little about cooking, at least that's what I thought he was doing...

Hoseok turned to face me, a small blush spread across his face, "y-yes?"

"Uhm, if you don't mind me asking... what're you doing?"

"I'm, um, making breakfast?"

"Oh..."

I awkwardly drifted over to where Hobi was fussing and peered over his shoulder.

"Hoseok, it can't be that hard to put some flour in a bowl." I said calmly as I proceed to grab the nearest broom.

Hobi's blush reached his ears, "thank you Jimin, but you really don't have to-"

"I'd like to help," I interrupted, "what're you making?"

"I- pancakes," Hosoek said, "oh, and you can call me Hobi by the way."

"Thanks Hobi," I smiled at him.

I looked in his mixing bowl to what he's already put in and gasp. All I can see is some grey slop, I wrinkle my face and toss him the bowl telling him to clean it out.

"We have to restart." I declare.

One hour and two restarts later, we have a stack of almost-okay pancakes. Before we can try again, a sleepy Yoongi mopes into the kitchen. He glares at us, rubbing one of his eyes.

Yoongi sniffs around, "what's with the burning smell?"

Hobi quickly shifts to cover our last batch, the burnt ones.

"N-nothing burnt, we're responsible adults." Hobi stuttered.

"Hobi..." Yoongi warned.

"O-okay, we tried making pancakes but, well, I can't cook." Hobi gave in.

"Hoseok, I know you can't cook," Yoongi softened his voice, "but why'd you try?"

"I- um, wanted to surprise you!" Hobi suddenly perked up like a small child, his face shining brightly like the sun.

"That's sweet." Yoongi smiled back.

Yoongi sat on one of the stools by the table and patted the one next to him, "Jimin, eat breakfast with us!"

"Oh, uh, I'm not hungry, but thank you!" I quickly made an excuse, I knew what went into those pancakes and I didn't really want to eat them...

"Okay, well, don't skip lunch then." Yoongi said.

"I won't! But I think I'm going to go for a swim today. Y'know, just check out the area and what not."

Hobi piped up again, "oh, um, did you need one of us to go with you? I mean, in case you get lost."

"No thank you, I'll be alright."

"Okay. Here, take this to eat for lunch!"

Hobi held out a small box for me, I took it and thanked him. A few minutes later I was out the door, looking out upon what seemed to be an endless abyss, the only color coming from above and what little coral I was surrounded by.

After what felt like hours - but was probably not that long - of swimming in one direction, my stomach began to growl. I quickly glanced around for a place to sit and ended up settling on a semi-flat rock.

On this semi-flat rock is where I ate my lunch and made the dangerous mistake of resting my eyes.

~3rd person~

Yoongi and Hoseok had been searching for 3 hours before finally finding Jimin. He had fallen asleep on a rock in the middle of nowhere.

Yoongi was infuriated with him, how dare he worry them so much? Yoongi felt like a grumpy old man but now he finally understood where they were coming from.

Hoseok poked Jimin's cheek lightly, Jimin's eyes fluttered open slowly.

"Oh, I'm so glad you're okay!" Hobi chirped.

"Shit, I'm so sorry guys, I must've fallen asleep!" Jimin apologised.

Hobi replied, "no, it's oka-"

"It was starting to get dark and we were getting worried." Yoongi interrupted, his eyes wide with fear.

Jimin continued to apologise for the rest of the swim back home.

When the three got home, Yoongi made dinner and they ate in silence.

Jimin went to bed early that night, he told the others that he didn't feel well.

~Dream~

Jungkook sat cross-legged in front of Jimin, a big smile on both the boys faces.

Jungkook's face drooped as he whispered, "I miss you, hyung."

The happiness drained as Jimin replied, "what do you mean? You live in the palace with me, how could you possibly miss me"

"Your curse means we can never be together," Jungkook's face distorted as Jimin fell through the floor, Jimin grabbed at thin air as he tried to stay with Jungkook for just a second longer.

Jimin fell for a long time, hearing Jungkook's words echo in his mind.

~End Dream~

Jimin woke with a jolt. The image of Junkook's distorted face imprinted in his mind. He blinked a few times before it was gone.

Jimin got up slowly from his bed, swimming to the window. He peered out of it, looking out at the abyss.

Somewhere out there, above or below, is my Kookie.

Jimin felt drawn by the abyss so slipped quietly out his window. The water felt heavy and cold on his skin, sending shivers down his spine. Jimin felt somehow comforted knowing he was alone, he could be free to embrace his feelings.

Maybe, he thought, maybe this isn't so bad. I can finally be free of all the rules and restrictions of being a prince.

Jimin sat staring toward the surface deep in thought for a long time, he returned to his room after a haunting feeling crept over his body. The chills set into his bones, slipping back through his window, the feeling of being watched melted away.
