Azalea [KookV]

07. Need isn't Love

Special double update for you 😋😋

*****

The only reason why we let you live freely and spree all this time is because we want you to at least have a little happiness and freedom before you finally carry out your duties as a prince. But until now, even when the time is almost here, you don't show any change at all. You don't feel responsible as a prince at all. Then tell me, what should your father and mother do?"

Jeongguk is silent, he doesn't know what to answer for his mother's question.

"Min Yoongi is the grandson of his highness. The descendants of the king, both children and grandchildren, are able to recognise the Azalea even when he or she is a newborn. Unlike us, from other clans or his clan's commoners, who have to wait until the hundredth year come, when the Azalea turn twenty years old. Son, you know about this, right?

Then, why is Min Yoongi, the only prince of his clan, engaged to Taehyung? There is no other reason except the fact that Kim Taehyung is the Azalea, they had known about it since the beginning, that's why they tied him and Yoongi in the engagement bonds. They already start their move, to get their victory again. Because in the hundredth year, the King could no longer side with his own clan and had to be neutral. The three clans have the same right and position in fighting over Azalea. Only in the 100th year, each clan can exert their power without the king's intervention.

Hope you understand why your father asked you to apologize to Taehyung. He just wants you to approach him so that at least you still have the chance to get him, to make him loves you. Just like me, your father also doesn't want to force you to marry someone. But what else he could do as a clan leader? He is fully responsible for our clan, and as a prince, the same responsibility is on your shoulders.

Try to think about what your mother said. All decisions are in your hands, if you want your clan to suffer for another hundred years, it's up to you. You are an adult, you can decide what steps you should take, what is good and not for this clan."

Shin Hye smiles, her tears have dried up. Kissing his son's forehead then left Jeongguk alone, lying staring at the ceiling of his room.

"Eomma ..." Taehyung's voice echoed in the Kim family residence.

"What's the matter, love? Why are you screaming for me?" said Sandara who appeared from the kitchen, still wearing her apron

"Hehehe, I'm sorry." Taehyung grinned, showing his box smile which is so beautiful. "Did you see my car keys?" he added

"I didn't see it. Try asking your Noona, she's the one who brought your car home yesterday."

"I asked, she didn't know. She said that she had put it on the living room table, but when I looked for the key, it wasn't there. Appa didn't know either."

"Have you asked your Hyung?"

"He didn't even come back here, mom. He followed Namjoon Hyung to Jeju, accompanied him to attend the seminar."

"Let's have breakfast first, okay? Then we will search for your car key together. Now you better help me prepare the food."

"Alright, my lovely mother." Taehyung kissed his mom's cheek before running into the kitchen.

The breakfast mood in Kim's family is calm, with a few small talks about each family member. After eating, Taehyung asks all of his family members to help find his car key, which turned out to be in his room. The Kim's youngest son forgot that last night he had taken the key and kept it.
