Five Kingdoms

Cookies Pt. 2

Hoseok and king Jung walk out into the hallway, gently closing the door behind them. "How long have you known?" King Jung asks. Hoseok takes a deep breath. "For about a week." Hoseok says flatly. "I wanted to tell you. You and Dawon, but your mother.. she didn't want Dawon to stay behind here right after the wedding." King Jung says looking down. Hoseok buttoned up a few buttons on his jacket. "We deserve to know, but if it's what she wishes.. I won't tell Dawon." Hoseok whispers looking over at the door.

"I'll invite her to come back in a few days. Just for a visit and to catch up." King Jung says with a nod. "If I had known.. I would have been a better king." Hoseok says running his hands through his blonde locks. "You're doing a wonderful job Hoseok. I need time with your mother and you're giving me that. Thank you." King Jung says. The king places his hand on Hoseok's shoulder and they look at each other in comfortable silence for a few seconds.

"Now let's go see what your mother picked." King Jung says wiping a few tears out of his eyes. They walk back into the room and the queen is still searching for something to watch. "Why are there so many channels when nothing's on." Queen Jung mumbles with a pout. The queen put the remote down in the bed in frustration. Hoseok chuckled and sat back down in his seat. "Let's finish that episode of the drama you've been watching. Last night you fell asleep when there was still twenty minutes left." Hoseok says with a pout matching queen Jung's. Hoseok's phone buzzed on the bedside table and he glanced over his shoulder at it. Hoseok moved to get his phone and while he was up he placed a kiss on the top of his mother's head, taking in the vanilla and lavender scent before sitting back down with his phone. Hoseok's eyes went wide and he took the remote from the bed, immediately pointing it at the television to change the channel.

Yoongi was laying in his bed, his eyes heavy. "It's too early to go to sleep." Namjoon says. Namjoon walks into the room and watches Yoongi sit up. "Yah. I told you, you could come hang out here, but I didn't expect you to be so annoying. We already ate dinner and some of the cookies you brought. It's getting late anyway. Come and lay with me." Yoongi says patting the bed. Namjoon grins and starts walking toward the bed. Yoongi lays on his back with a smirk and Namjoon's cat form jumps onto the bed, snuggling up against Yoongi side. "That's better." Yoongi mumbles as his eyes flutter closed. Namjoon stares at Yoongi before laying his head down on his stomach and closing his eyes.

Jimin had settled back into a routine. Being a prince meant one day being a king, study is important. "Prince Jimin, Prince Taehyung. Please pay attention." A tall woman says sounding irritated. Jimin giggled and Taehyung sat up straight. "I'm sorry teachernim. Please go on." Jimin says still giggling.

The moment the teachers back was turned Taehyung flicked a tiny ball of fire at Jimin. Jimin pulled water from the condensation on the teachers glass, on her desk to flick back at the red haired prince and when the elements met, they went poof. Jimin leaned forward on the desk, covering his mouth, trying to quiet his giggles. Taehyung sucked on his lips to stop himself from laughing. The teacher let out a huff, threw her chalk in the floor and stormed out.

"You play too much Tae." Jimin whisper yells. "You started it!" Taehyung whisper yells. "Why were you tormenting the teacher?" Jin asks appearing between the two princes. They both nearly fell out of their chairs. "Hyung!" Taehyung shouts standing up. "Hi Jin hyung. Have you been training?" Jimin asks looking up at the older with a smile. "Yes. I can stop time for about five minutes now, in a fifty mile radius.. it's incredibly draining though and it gives me a headache." Jin says with a frown. Jimin gave a nod, looking over at Taehyung, then back up at Jin. "Do you wanna stay for dinner?" Jimin asks looking down. Jin and Taehyung look at each other for a moment. "Sure!" Jin and Tae say together.

After dinner Jin, Jimin and Taehyung were in Jimin's room, they played video games and after a lot of shouting and cursing, they decided to turned the game off. "Let's watch a movie or something. I told Mae she could have the rest of the night off so it's just us." Taehyung said stretching. Jimin smiles and got up to get the remote. "Elena made cookies. She also taught me a new recipe I want to try for breakfast in the morning. I think I got it right, if not she said she'll help." Jin says with a small smile, laying back on the sofa.

Jimin was lazily scrolling through options and nibbling on a cookie when his phone buzzed in his hoodie pocket, he ignored it while his hands were busy. With the remote and a cookie. Jin's phone buzzes on the table as he put a cookie against his lips. Taehyung's phone buzzed in his sweatpants pocket as he put a cookie in his mouth.

Jimin glanced up at Taehyung. "Who's talking in the group chat?" Jimin asks, his eyes still on the tv. Taehyung looked up at Jin, then at Jimin. "It's Jihyun hyung." Taehyung whispers, the cookie dropping out of his mouth.
