The King •Jikook•

ｄｅｕｘ

Jimin froze in shock, eyes widening and soul almost leaving his body. The rumors which was spread across the whole kingdom was such: "Anyone who dares to mess with the King or the future King gets decapitated without any mercy." He had heard that everywhere he went. Whether it was the bar or simply the overcrowded roads. 

"I-I didn't." Jimin mumbled, head low and fingers fiddling together. He heard Jungkook chuckling and then the armor clinking. The prince had moved closer to him, his breath hot on Jimin's forehead. "Are you going to apologize or should I make you ?" He whispered in Jimin's ear. 

The herbalist backed away, putting distance between Jungkook and himself. "I am sorry Your Majesty. I am new to the palace and I could not recognize you." Jimin apologized, his heart beating faster than ever. He had never imagined himself in this kind of situation. Jimin was usually unproblematic. 

"That's how you say sorry ?" Jungkook scoffed. "Of course what should I even expect from a peasant." He added. Jimin felt his blood boiling. He was not of the highest rank in the hierarchy but he was still human. That always bothered him. People in his kingdom always believed that those with a high rank could do anything and everything. 

"How should I do it Your Majesty ?" Jimin questioned, trying his best to not snap. His hands were on his side, fisted as if he would punch the prince if he could. He glanced up at Jungkook, absolutely hating the smug smile that was present on his lips. 

"Get on your knees and beg for pardon. Maybe I will be generous and kind." Jungkook ordered and Yoongi was already shaking his head next to him. Jungkook loved power and dominance way too much. The young prince enjoyed having his subjects trembling in terror under him. 

"I would prefer dying." Jimin answered, teeth gritting and jaws clenched. He glared up at Jungkook. "I would prefer dying rather than begging to filth like you." He rasped out. 

"As you wish. Yoongi do the necessary preparations and throw him in the dungeon while doing so." Jimin's eyes bulged out, his heart almost stopping for a fraction of a second. It was his first day in the palace and he was already being killed. He did not even commit any crime. 

"Sorry kiddo." Yoongi whispered, grabbing Jimin by his collar and dragging him along. Jimin had tears welling up his eyes. Maybe he should just give up his pride, accept he was just a dirt from the streets. He sniffed, wishing for anyone to come help him. 

"Yoongi !" A voice yelled behind them and Jimin could hear loud footsteps as the person approached. He still did not look up. It did not matter who had just approached them, it was not as if they could help him and disobey the Prince. 

"Where are you guys bringing him ?" Jimin immediately recognized the voice, looking up to see his instructor, Seokjin. He bit his lips as he tried to stop his tears to fall. Seokjin told him to stay away from the Prince and Jimin did not do it. Maybe he deserved this destiny. 

"None of your business." Jungkook replied before Yoongi could. He started walking again but immediately stopped when he was pulled back. "He is my new student Kook. It is my business." Seokjin replied and Jimin felt a twinge of hope. His instructor must have been close to the Prince. 

"So what ? Just hire a new one Jin." Jungkook replied, his eyebrows furrowed. He seemed a little bit agitated that Seokjin was trying to stop him from hurting Jimin. "Jungkook, you did that last time too. Namjoon is going to be furious now. You can't go around getting people decapitated because you feel like it." Seokjin answered, arms crossed in front of his chest. 

"Yes I can." He spat stubbornly. Jimin met Jungkook for a few minutes only and he already knew what type of person the prince was. Spoilt, greedy for power, everything Jimin hated in a human being. "Please Kook." Seokjin asked in a smooth, calming voice and Jungkook's scowl fell. 

"Fine. Only because I don't want Namjoon hyung to get mad at me. But next time, I am not letting him off the hook." Seokjin immediately nodded, going towards Jimin and hugging him. He knew that his new student was probably scared by now. 

"He should at least say sorry for insulting me." Jungkook added, eyeing Jimin. The older male sighed, wrapping his arms around Jimin's waist and nudging him a little bit. The Prince was not goign to give up until he got what he wanted so they just had to give it to him. 

"I- I am sorry." apologized Jimin in a small, wobbly voice. 

"Sorry to who ?" Jungkook added, quirking a brow and Jimin almost snapped again. That fucking brat. "Stop it Jungkook. He did what you wanted." defended Seokjin. The prince scoffed, turning around and strutting back to his chambers. 

Jimin and Seokjin watched the royal walk away in silence. "Are you okay ?" Seokjin asked, eyes filled with worry. He was used to such a behaviour from Jungkook as he came to the castle when he was 18 but it might be shocking for newcomers. 

He glanced at Jimin only to see that the younger had his fists enclosed on the side of his hips, his eyes ablaze with fury. "I hate him." He mumbled, repressing himself from yelling in anger. He had been controlling his feelings in front of Jungkook but once he was gone, Jimin snapped. Seokjin let out a small chuckle, his hand wrapping itself around Jimin's waist. 

"He can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Don't worry he won't bother you again. Let's just go and deliver the medicine together yeah ?" Seokjin proposed and Jimin slowly nodded. He should just get over with it and go rest. 

Thinking of rest, "Where is my room hyung ?" Jimin questioned and the older male simply shrugged. "You know what, I will deliver this. You go meet Namjoon he will know where your room is. Just go straight and turn left. Say I sent you and he will treat you like a prince." The instructor directed and Jimin nodded, his bright demeanor coming back.
