Luminous Kingdom | Jikook |

•Chapter 11•

        Under the covers of the jasmine bed laid two naked men. The high lord was sleeping, but Jimin wasn't. He couldn't, he didn't want to. He can tell that Nolland was in deep sleep, so he decided to slip out the book from under the pillow and start reading it. He never knew that Jungkook printed out his attempt of an essay and shoved it in his notebook.

This essay explains the real beauty of earth...

Jeon Jungkook.

    I am the only beautiful thing on this earth, even the universe can't defeat me.

I believe that you probably stopped reading already. Now you've came back, I have a little secret to tell you. I think I've found a star, a shining one. And in my eyes, that star is what makes this cruel world beautiful. But let's not get too ahead of ourselves, clearly, I'm the most charming. If you don't see it, go see that eye doctor- no Otolaryngologist. Just as you taught me.

Jimin paused wanting to sigh but he didn't want to risk waking up Nolland. Jungkook actually wrote the wrong word. He wrote an ear doctor and not an Ophthalmologist. Flipping the paper ever so lightly, and carefully. He froze seeing how Nolland started moving. Hearing a snore come out of his mouth, he was safe.

Like I've said once, you interest me. Seeing how dedicated you are into learning is beautiful, don't let anyone take that light away from you, because it shows who you truly are.

Nolland's hand travelled up to Jimin's, the blonde boy gulped nervously, hiding the notebook underneath the pillow before he actually wakes up and holding his hand. "I trust you, Nol." Jimin whispered. Kissing his hair and watching him sleep peacefully.

After that night that was full of lust and passion, Jimin took the advantage to make Nolland agree on some rules as he pleasured him. One of the rules is to roam around without having guards watch him constantly.

The three all sat in the dining room, eating breakfast. Nolland was sitting at the head of the table as usual. "What are you doing today?" Jimin asked no one in particular.

Nolland parted his lips to speak but Haven raced him to it, "I'm going hunting, want to come?" He asked, aware that Nolland was watching him.

"It's too dangerous," the high lord claimed.

"But I want to go, I've been trapped in the house for forever." Jimin said, causally. He drank some orange juice as he watched Nolland shake his head in disagreement.

"Why do you say that as if you're in jail? Jimin I'm providing everything for you." He sighed in sadness.

Haven scoffed while he faced Jimin, "Then let him accompany me." He suggested, inadvertently.

"No," he replied not even considering it, glancing back at Jimin and softening his tone, "You can't defend yourself, you had no training whatsoever. I want you to be safe."

Jimin finished his orange juice and smiled, "You're overreacting," he stood from him seat and walked to Nolland, "besides, Haven will be there if anything happens."

Nolland made Jimin sit on his lap, he hugged him tightly, "fine."

Jimin kissed the top of his head and was happy that Nolland agreed. He is finally seeing the old man that he fell in love with. "Thank you." He kissed his cheek but Nolland kept holding him. The blonde boy giggled and shook him off, "the quicker you let me go, the quicker I get back."

And he was free.

.~.

"You know how to manipulate him."

The two started waking in the forest, Jimin had a small pocket knife in case something happens, but he wasn't too worried considering the size of Haven. He was very built and he was a knight for a reason.

"I wouldn't call it that," Jimin replied as he followed Haven as he added, "I'd call it flattering maybe."

The man with the freckles giggled, "I shouldn't have doubted you," he cut off some vines that were in the way. "You're smarter than I thought."

Jimin didn't reply to that particular sentence. He just gave a confident smile as he followed the man. "What other powers do you have?" He asked suddenly.

Haven hesitated to answer, but he did anyways. "I can see really far away, I can sense if anyone is close but that's about it. I've trained for centuries, that's how I've gotten stronger." Too much. He realized he gave him too much information.

Jimin didn't miss a thing, he carefully stored all the information in his brain. "What about the high lord?" He stopped calling him by his name, he decided to respect the rules even though he was his lover. He can still call him by his name when they were all alone.

Haven held one finger up to his lips, shushing Jimin. The blonde boy looked and saw some type of creature, it was too far away to catch how it looked like. But he slowly got behind Haven as the boy took an arrow, sliding it in the bow and aiming at it. Jimin tried moving out of the way but he stepped on a leaf making the creature run away. "I gave you one job." The man with the freckles sighed.

Jimin laughed nervously, "exactly, I will not do that next time. Lesson learned."

Haven started walking again, "The High lord can tell you about his powers himself," he finally replied.

Jimin decided to stop asking him about the high lord because he never answers questions that are about him. "How old are you?" He asked Haven.

    The man scoffed feeling somehow offended, "Let's say I'm ancient." He glanced at Jimin and winked. 

    "Ancient," Jimin thought. "Belonging to the very distant past," he knew that Fae's are immortal, but how did he survive all these years. "Atleast your age explains the very lame jokes."

   Haven shot a glare to Jimin, "if anything attacks, I'm not defending you." He threatened making Jimin chuckle and shake his head, not believing him.

   "I'm positive that the high lord made you swear on your life to protect me before we went out here." He said, however, there was no response from him, and that meant that it was true.

    The talked walked in silence for about twenty minutes, Jimin started regretting his decision, he shouldn't have gone out of the house. He was beyond exhausted at this point. Haven noticed that and started slowing down, they were too deep in the forest that Jimin couldn't back out now.

    "Let's take a break," Jimin breathed out.

  Haven stopped walking, "Already tired," he teased the boy as he gave him a bottle of water. Jimin gulped it down quickly without having the energy to reply to the jokester.

   "Can I eat this?" A red fruit, not an apple nor a strawberry. It was a fruit that he had never seen before, and it looked delicious.

   "Totally."

    Jimin picked it from the plant and gazed at it, "Is that a joke, or?" He was a little afraid, he didn't want to risk dying or having an allergic reaction to whatever that fruit was.

    "Get down quickly." Haven warned him.

   The blonde boy scoffed, "I'm not afraid of a fruit-"

   An arrow shot. But it wasn't Haven that shot it, it was something else. Haven pushed Jimin roughly out of the way so he can get behind the tree.

  "We're under attack, don't move."
