The King •Jikook•

ｔｒｏｉｓ

Jimin followed the path that Seokjin gave him, stopping in front of a door on which Kim Namjoon was carved in silver. He smiled at himself for not getting lost again and gently knocked on the door. Jimin waited for a few seconds and when no answer came, he knocked again, this time a little bit louder. 

"Yes, come in." A voice rasped out and Jimin slowly pushed the door, peaking inside. He was greeted by a black hair male with cute dimples. "How can I help you..." The man trailed as a way to ask the name of the person he was speaking to. 

"Jimin, Park Jimin. Nice to meet you sir. Seokjin hyung sent me here." Jimin replied as he watched Namjoon's eyes lighten when Seokjin's name was mentioned. "Take a seat." He said, giving a warm dimpled smile and Jimin immediately complied. 

He took in the surroudings of the office. It was quite a big space. A teak table in the middle of the room with three chairs in front and one for Namjoon, huge shelves pressed to the wall with a plant right next to it. Jimin assumed that the male was probably into gardening. He looked around and saw another door, its edges plated gold and a red upholstery velvet fabric in the middle. 

"You must be Jin's new student. He was so excited to meet you. It can get quite lonely spending hours in the lab." Rambled Namjoon as Jimin pulled the chair and slumped his body on it. "What do you need me for now ? Does Jin want to see me ?" Namjoon gleamed. The younger noticed that the more the male would talk about Seokjin, the more his eyes would twinkle in excitement. 

"No, sorry. I needed to know where my room was and Seokjin hyung said to ask you." Jimin said apologetically. Namjoon immediately nodded, pulling out some files from a drawer and placing it on his table. His fingers quickly swiped across a page until he found Jimin's name. "Headquater A, Room 5." Namjoon mumbled and gave Jimin a warm smile afterwards. 

"You're in the same headquater as me and Jinnie." He chuckled, visibly excited to have another neighbour. "Why is he being given such a luxury room ?" A voice, which Jimin recognized to be the annoying prince asked. Jimin glanced next to him to see Jungkook leaning against the plush door from before. So that door was a connection to the Prince's office. 

"Seokjin requested for it, saying herbalists should be given as much importance as any other Royal Figure." Namjoon fought back, his eyes narrowing at the younger's question. "You never meddle in these type of things. What's wrong with you ?" He questioned with a frown as the prince rolled his eyes. 

"I was just curious as to why a middle schooler is in one of the best headquaters." Jungkook scoffed while Jimin squinted and glared at the prince. "Middle schooler ? I'm twenty four." He spat, anger laced in his voice. 

"You look ten." Jungkook fought back childishly as he watched Jimin fuming with fury. "Can I please be shown my room ?" The apothecary demanded, ignoring the Prince's stubborn eccentrics. Namjoon shook his head affirmatively and pulled out a golden key from his drawer. 

"Do you know where Yugyeom is Jungkook ?" The advisor inquired, his eyes peering into the Prince's soul. "He is with me, in my office." He replied in a small voice. Jimin thought that it was weird. Why would the arrogant Royal be so obedient around a simple advisor like Namjoon ? 

"Perfect. Call him here." The older male ordered and Jungkook immediately complied, fetching Yugyeom from his office. As soon as he entered the room, Yugyeom bowed deeply at Namjoon's presence and saluted him. "How can I help sir ?" He immediately asked. 

"I know you are busy with the preparations for the annual hunt but care to show Jimin here where room 5, section A is. He's new." Yugyeom nodded, his eyes travelling to Jimin and giving the latter a warm smile. The raven haired male took the key from Namjoon and followed Yugyeom out of the room. 

"Hi, I'm Yugyeom, Royal Guard of Prince Jungkook." The taller male introduced himself as they walked down the hallways of the castle. "Jimin, apothecary." He replied. Jimin was never used to introductions or even making friends. He liked it better when others initiated conversations instead of him. 

"Oh cool. I guess you're also coming with us tomorrow right ?" The guard asked, making Jimin confused. Seokjin never mentioned anything about going out the next day. "Where ?" The older asked out of curiosity. Yugyeom was surprised for a moment but was then smiling again. 

"Right, I forgot you were new. Tomorrow is the annual hunt organized for the Prince. We are usually in need of more medical staff since we have only Seokjin. So I assumed you were coming." He explained and Jimin nodded in understanding. They walked for some more before the herbalist had questions invading his mind. 

"What's the annual hunt by the way ?" inquired Jimin. The guard contemplated for a few seconds before replying, "It's just a way to show to the ministers that the Prince is strong and healthy. In other words, to avoid drama in the palace." Yugyeom answered before they stopped in front of a door. 

"Here is your room. You're really lucky to get one in this headquarter." The guard complimented, with a beaming smile. He waved at Jimin for a few seconds before turning around and going away. 

"I'll see you tomorrow !" Yugyeom yelled as he was down the hallway, still waving childishly. Jimin chuckled, unlocking the door and slowly opening it. He was ready to surprise himself. Jimin gasped out loudly as he rushed into the room. It was massive; a king size bed with a white rug under it, two pristine white tables on each side of the bed and a small laboratory bench. 

He continued looking around, finding his open closet and a private bathroom. "Wow, The Prince was right this is too much for me." Jimin mumbled under his breath, feeling so grateful to be using such a room. 

The black haired male slumped his body on top of the bed, loving how soft it was. His eyes were slowly closing on itself and seconds later, he was deep into dreamland.
