How can prince Jeongguk act this cute even though he literally almost got killed? So this morning he said he wanted to eat something sweet, but since he is recovering he shouldn't be eating solid food. So the servants went to the kitchen to get sweetened soup. I knew he would complain about how he wanted sweets, not soup, but he was so happy that someone actually gave him something sweet and when he drank it, it was like a whole new world that he didn't dare step in.

"Is it your first time drinking something sweet?" I ask since why not try to get along with him.

He looked at me and nodded his head. " Hyung where did eunoch hyung go?" Jeongguk asked.

"He went to meet other eunuchs for their annual meeting of the year," I replied.

"Really I thought he was going to stay with me so we can play and be getting closer (A/N stan talent stan seventeen.)" Jeongguk said a little upset, "Will you stay and talk with me hyung?".

"Sure, "I said since my job simply kept him safe from harm. Which I was terrible at. I sat down it was very awkward so I said the first thing that came to my mind. " Yehet!" I said loudly and was very embarrassed.

Jeongguk started to burst into a fit of laughs and giggles. " Hyung you are funny,"

"My hyung Jongdae likes to say this, Do you know the Waeeeeeeeeeeeee?" I said since I wanted to be a good hyung to the Prince. He laughed uncontrollably again. This made Jeongguk relax and they started telling strange stories to each

"Do you want to hear a secret," Jeongguk said, " But you have to promise me not to tell Yugyeom hyung." I agreed and he continued " So when I was little I saw a spirit and it was playing with Yugyeom's hair. It made him trip, but he got up and didn't cry at all. Don't tell him that the spirit still follows him."

"What did the spirit look like?" I questioned since he forgot his memories but remembers petty things like this got me interested.

"It wore blue and had a crown like thing on its head. It had white hair and very long facial hair." Jeongguk stated like he rehearsed a hundred times.

"Is there another story you can tell me?" I ask.

" I think there was a time I was drowning but I heard someone say na na na na na na and I was back on land. I was pretty sure it was a dream, but it seemed so realistic. I don't know." Jeongguk said playing with his blue silk sleeves.

"Jeongguk is there something you want to do?" I asked.

"I want to go to read the scrolls in the court, pretty please," Jeongguk said as his eyes widened.

" Fine but only when one of your brothers agrees to it," I said since only royals and officials can enter.

Jeongguk seemed determined and rushed out of the courtyard. I was behind him and he came to a very sudden stop.

" Is there something wrong?" I ask.

" Hyung where do my hyungs reside?" He asks clueless.

"Which Hyung do you want to visit?" I questioned.

"Taehyung Hyung, I haven't visited him in a long time," Jeongguk answered.

" Follow me, "I said walking toward Harvest Courtyard.

"Hyung is this a zither?" Jeongguk asked since it looked so familiar.

"Yes, it was gifted to Concubine Park from an official who visited China," I said since almost everyone knew about the strange zither that plays by itself.

"Hyung is sword fighting fun?" Jeongguk asked

"Yes, if you know your opponent or the art, but no if you were forced to meet someone's expectations. This shows that people just have options not full answers," I answered. It was true people born from noble families have to be a filial son or daughter. If your a son you have too serve in the army as general or become a well-ranked official. If you are a daughter you have to be skilled in literature, embroidery, art and have to marry a high ranked being in the court. This proves that life is not fair.

"Hyung, what if you deny all the options give to you?" Jeongguk asked wanting to find an answer.

" The answer is simple you can't it will still be an option just not the one they wanted you to chose," I said knowing that the answer is not the one he wanted.

A loud ring had been heard and men were yelling " Assassins have invaded hide!"

I quickly dragged Jeongguk to an abandoned hall and I kept feeling the wall since all chambers have a secret chamber under them. I felt the wall until I felt a bump I pressed on the wall with a lot of force which caused it to move and reveal a room. I pushed Jeongguk inside and followed right after him. Until he stopped.

"Hyung I don't like it down here, Are the others okay," Jeongguk said in a barely audible voice.

" They will be fine it's all right," I said as I grabbed his hand and lead him through the chamber. We were finally met with some light and four princes standing in the light.

"Jeongguk are you all right did your wound reopen?" a worried Taehyung asked

Jeongguk let go of my hand to go to his brothers. " Hyung, are you okay you don't seem so well," Jeongguk said genuinely.

"Yes we are okay, but Yoongi Hyung is leading the army to fight the rebels, and Jimin hasn't come down yet," Hoseok said joining in the conversation.

"Hyung what about the officials are they all right?" Jeongguk's mind was all scramble and he can't process anything right now.

" The officials have all gone home because today we have evening court," Hoseok answered Jeongguk's question once again.

"What about the eunuchs they have a meeting today so are they going to be fine? Jeongguk asked frantically hoping nothing goes wrong.

"Kookie we don't know," Seokjin finally said after a long moment of silence

"Your Highness, we have bad news..."
