Kingdom (Sequel to United)

Years had passed in the Jung Empire. 

Ever since the marriage between Kim Taehyung and Jung Hoseok, the peace was held between their two families. There was no hatred or any form of threat from either empire, only peace. The world was a much beautiful, brighter place.

"Good morn - Oh, for all that's holy!" 

Jimin quickly slapped a hand over his eyes as he entered the kings' bedroom, his usual metal suit shimmering like liquid. It vibrated against his skin, like it wanted to from a shield so that Jimin wouldn't have to gouge his eyes out. 

King Hoseok laughed as he cradled Taehyung's bare body, one hand caressing his swollen stomach. They've been married for almost nine years, - ever since Taehyung came of age - and they were already on their sixth child. The two shared immense pride over that fact. 

"Jimin, I'm pregnant. You know I sleep naked when I'm pregnant," the younger king muttered, rolling over on his back before slowly sitting up. 

The metalbender in the doorway simply sighed and shook his head, a hand running through his jet-black hair. "Still, TaeTae. It's quite scarring, especially on days like today, when you have guests arriving," he huffed out. 

The earthbender simply beamed. 

Today, King Jongin - Taehyung's brother - was visiting, most likely bringing his most trusted Jeon guard with him. 

God, Taehyung missed Jungkook. He hadn't seen much of him since his first two children - twins named Han and Hyun - were born. The guard was still a pup back then. 

"Tell them we'll be down directly. Who's on kid duty currently?" Hoseok asked, helping Taehyung out of bed. 

Jimin simply smirked. "My husband. Han and Hyun got up with no trouble, but Kyong, Jeongwoo and Jeongcha didn't want to get up. They're up now, though, so don't worry." 

Both parents sighed in relief, then shooed Jimin out of their room.

Once they were certain they were alone, Hoseok studied his husband, massaging his lower back comfortingly. "Babe, maybe I should stop getting you pregnant. It seems like our babies are getting bigger and bigger, and I don't want you to explode," he giggled. 

"The twins were bigger than this, remember? My back doesn't hurt as badly," Taehyung replied, pressing a brief kiss to his husband's cheek before going off to get ready for the day.

"Uncle Kookie!" Han yelled the second the Jeon guard set foot in the Jung throne room. Taehyung let out a small giggle as the he watched her sprint towards Jungkook, who scooped her into his arms the second they collided. 

"Hey, princess! Have you been good, figuring out how your power works?" he laughed warmly, earning an enthusiastic nod and hug. 

Jeongin made his way into the throne room shortly after, causing the other two kings to stand and greet him. The other set of twins, Jeongwoo and Jeongcha, stood on either side of Hoseok; Hyun cowered behind Taehyung, Kyong holding tight to his big brother's free hand. Out of all the Jung heirs, only those two were earthbenders. 

"Hoseok, always good to be in your company," the oldest monarch said, shaking the firebender's hand. 

"Always nice to be in yours as well, hyung." 

Taehyung zoned them out, gazing at his former best friend almost as if he were in shock. 

Jeungkook had grown up.
