To say the atmosphere in the room was awkward was an understatement, to put it more simply it was stifling, after the incident in the carriage it was evident to the Young King that General Min was avoiding him. Every time their eyes had met as they were making their way towards the guest room suite, that was only used for Royals. It would always be the Young General who looked away first and to say that it didn't hurt the king even a little would be a statement of falsehood.

"We'll leave you now my King, it is best for you to catch your rest, by tomorrow evening we should be arriving at Princess Sora's castle"

One of the guards said as they bowed their head to the Young King in respect, before making their exit. As the door to the room closed, it was just the two of them stuck alone in the room, General Min standing by the door looking anywhere else but at the King and the Young King seated on the couch as he tried to figure out just exactly why the Young Knight could be acting in such a way.

"I'll be turning in for the night, Sir Min feel free to do the same"

The Young King said as he gave up on trying to decipher the thoughts of the Young Knight, standing up from the couch, his shoulders slumped slightly in defeat, The Young King made his way towards the bedroom. All he had received was a curt nod in response, the Young Knight not even trying to move from his position by the door, seeing the small wave the Young King had given him, Yoongi wondered just exactly what was eating at the King.

It was the first time in years that he had ever called him "Sir Min" and he hadn't realised that the Young King only did that when he felt defeated or unhappy with him or something he did until that time the Young King had caught him coming out of one of Younger guards room, sporting blemishes, which the king deemed as a rash and wondered if he had gone into the Young guards room for an ointment for it, which in hindsight had puzzled the king cause why not go to the castles doctor? Chuckling softly to himself the Young Knight realized just how much he adored the King's innocent side of him but sometimes his oblivious nature always seemed to agitate Yoongi just a tad bit.

When the king had found out just exactly what were the marks adorning the Young Knights neck, courtesy of the Young Prince, he was less than happy about it, thinking back on it now although the Young King hadn't shown is outright distaste at the prospect of what the Young General had been up to, they all knew that the Young King had not been too happy about it, given the way he had avoided the Young Knight for an entire month after.

Yoongi had realised that Namjoon probably hadn't even realised what he had done and that he hadn't even known the reason why he had done it but whose to say that Jimin hadn't outright shown his distaste at the Young knight after knowing of what he'd done and whom was the one that told the Young Prince? It had been General Jung.

Clicking his tongue the Young Knight scowled at the memory. Sighing to himself he decided to turn in for the knight he'd have to use the bed opposite to the Young king, the one facing the window and the door in order for him to keep a better eye out in case any threat seemed to arise, passing by the Young King's bed, Yoongi stopped slightly in his tracks, walking towards Namjoon's bed he stood in front of the Young King his facial features morphed into slight confusion as he wondered why he had done that.

Looking down at the Young King, the Young Knight called out his name softly, wondering if Namjoon had already fallen asleep, waiting for a few seconds, the Young knight crouched down slightly to meet the Young King's eye level, he watched as the Young King's breathing evened out, wondering to himself whether the Young King was really asleep or not.

Sighing to himself, the Young Knight reached out one hand to gently brush away the Young King's hair from covering his face, his hand slowly moving down as he caressed the Young King's cheek with the back of his hand, this wasn't the first time that he had done such a thing nor was it the first time that he had felt the undeniable need to know what the Young King's lips felt like, to know just how pretty the king's moans sounded like, it wasn't the first time and it honestly wouldn't be the last.

Sighing to himself the Young Knight rose to his feet, he needed to sleep early less he be up late come tomorrow morning and honestly he needed to prepare himself mentally to see the Young King share a kiss with someone that wasn't him moreover it would be harder than he made it out to be.

As the clock struck 6am it was already time for the carriage to move off, this time the Young knight was seated oposite to the Young King on the other side of the carriage, the Young King had noticed just how much the Young Knight was actively keeping a distance from him, a short distance enough away where he didn't need to make small talk with the Young King but it was a good enough distance that he could keep an eye on him and protect the Young king as his duties entailed.

Which in hindsight had hurt the Young King even more than it probably should, for the remaining few hours of the ride, not a word was spoken between either parties, the Young King had kept his head bowed low slightly in defeat as he made himself seem smaller in his corner of the carriage while the Young Knight had just kept his gaze fixated on the scenery outside. Figuring it was for the best Yoongi had decided that he wouldn't interact with Namjoon unless it was completely necessary.

He had thought to himself that it was for the best, that it would save him the heart ache of seeing the Young King together with his bethrothed, if only he knew that regardless of what he thought was best for him, he would still be hurting the Young King with every precaution he took to save himself from a life of heart felt sadness.
