The Moon Nymph and the Wolf [JimSu Angst AU]

[14]

"There's no point in saving the world if it means losing the moon." 

[Yoongi's POV]

I was sleeping, but I felt a tap on my shoulder, I slightly groaned and stretched before rubbing my sleepy eyes. I looked over and saw King Jin smiling down at me. I quickly got up and bowed to him.

"Your Majesty, what brings honor for your sudden visit?" I asked him politely.

 "I came to talk to you about your marriage, it's almost your time to take over me kiddo. Soon you'll rule all of our people with someone who will guide you," his old and tired face said it all. He was getting weaker, and I would take his place meanwhile he dies and becomes a Star Nymph.

"Is it almost time?" I asked.

He nodded, "Soon, you'll take my place and you'll have to marry Hoseok. So I wanted to let you know myself instead of sending someone to tell you for me."

"Your Highness, you should have not bothered, you need your rest before you go and take over the throne. King Namjoon is about to get off the throne and hand it over to you. Please, next time, do not bother and send one of your servants to let me know. Is that fine?" I looked down, not wanting to see if I had upset him.

"Yoongi-ah, look at me," he told me.

I gulped down the lump in my throat, but did as he ordered, "Yes, your Highness?"

"I wanted to tell you myself. If I was in your shoes, in which, I was at some point when I was so much younger, I would have liked the Moon King talk to me himself and explain to me what is about to occur to me in my future. Because the King only sent his servants, I wasn't able to fully grasp how important my job was until I made my own mistakes and Namjoon led me the right way in order to make things properly. That's why I'll give you some lessons around this time in order to have a little talk until your marriage in about 2 months," he told me.

"2 months?!" I repeated.

Seokjin jumped a little and I quickly apologized, "Why the sudden negative reaction, I thought you trusted Hoseok in being your partner."

"My King, don't misunderstand, I do trust him and I do know that this is a duty that only him and I can do together for the well being of our people and the Earthlings, but I do not feel that kind of love for Hoseok. How can I kiss someone if we both only look at each other as close brothers? It's just... going to be so awkward since we both like different people-" I quickly covered my mouth with my hands and looked down at my lap, floating in the air.

"Wait... you guys like different people?" Jin asked me.

"I-I... Y-yes, your Highness, we both found people that we're very fond of and we've grown close to, but we were afraid to let you know. After all, the Stellar Lake choose us as the destined couple to rule after you and King Namjoon," I put my head down again.

"Lift your head up," Jin ordered.

I felt tears filling up my eyes, but did as he asked me to do. I looked right at him in the eyes with tears running down my face, "I'm sorry..."

The king seemed surprised and taken aback, he then smiled and brushed me off, "It's fine. It was the same thing with Namjoon, we loved different people, but eventually, we grew fond of each other and now we feel like we can't live without the other. But if that doesn't happen to you, then just hold on until the Stellar Lake chooses someone else to take your jobs and you both can be with the ones that you guys love."

He wiped my tears and I looked at him stunned, "Wait, so there's a possible chance of... me being together with my other half? I mean, the one that I love?"

He smiled and nodded, "Yes, you just have to wait until other people are chosen in order for you guys to go to the arms that you guys want to go to. I know that it's not easy, but it's worth the try, don't you think Yoongi-ah?"

I felt my freckles sparkle, "Y-yes your Highness, it is worth the wait then."

"Now then, cheer up, things will be better, you just have to believe that they will and everything will be as it should be. Don't rush things, take your time and savor the moment while you can. Alright?" he patted my back and I giggled lightly.

"I will, and thank you, I really needed to hear that. But... how long does the Stellar Lake take in order to pick the other two souls that are meant to rule over Hoseok and me?" I asked him.

"That, I cannot tell you, not even the past kings and queens knew, the Stellar Lake just does in its own given time. But I hope that it's soon, seems like you're really fond of this person that you love," he poked my shining freckles.

The shine intensified and I covered my face in order to keep myself in check. I tried to calm myself down, but I guess that sometimes I just can't help myself.

"Well, I'll leave you now, but remember, spend as much time with him while you're still not married to Hoseok, if he loves you just like you love him, then he'll wait for you as well, even if it takes more than 10 years," Seokjin told me.

I turned to him and nodded my head, "Thank you very much for your visit my King, I will keep your words of wisdom in mind. Once again, thank you for the bother to come and visit me despite almost being the time in which you take over. Have a great night," I bowed and he chuckled.

"See you around Min Yoongi, take care of yourself when you go out to meet that someone," he told me.

I smiled, "I sure will, your Highness."

And just like that, I took out the picture that Jimin's little brother gave me from my tunic and stared at the photo. My loose tunic flowing with the zero gravity of space.

"Don't worry Jimin-ah... we'll be together like we hope we will be, just wait for me my love," I then kissed and hugged the picture to my chest, feeling warm in my chest. It was almost time for me to go and visit Jimin. I closed my eyes and thought of him.

"At last... we'll be together..."
