"you ... don't ... why?" jungkook raised an eyebrow.

"because i know that this is what you're already thinking. look, don't let taehyung influence your decisions. you can't let anyone do that; especially since you are becoming king today. you must be strong and go by whatever you believe; not anyone else," his father spoke sternly.

"b-but ... i want jimin to come back! and it's not taehyung's words; it's mine!" jungkook spoke defensively. "this is my decision! m-maybe it also benefits taehyung ... b-but it's me who's deciding and wanting it!"

the king sighs and holds his forehead tiredly. "jungkook. you can't be serious. did you know what he did to our family's reputation? he almost tore it apart! we can't risk that happening again. i mean, your reputation was in the most danger!"

"mine? why?" jungkook immediately wished he didn't say that; he knows exactly what he's talking about.

"you know exactly what i'm talking about," the king almost exactly repeats his thoughts. "we can't have that around here, jungkook. we need our people and neighboring kingdoms to know that you are a strong leader and can handle himself. you can't be having... relations with an islander! besides; you need to find someone to produce an heir to continue the jeon dynasty."

"wait wait wait," jungkook stood up; now over this whole situation. "you're not only telling me to refuse my love for someone, but also my sexuality? what the fuck?!"

the king stands up with his son. "jungkook, this is only a phase you're going through. something trying to find who you "really" are, but this isn't it. trust me. i know who you are and what's best for you."

"HOW THE FUCK WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR ME?!" jungkook yells in anger. his face is practically red. "you don't know fucking anything about me; only that i'm the one who'll continue your precious dynasty! well, maybe i don't want to, okay? maybe i wish i was never your fucking SON!"

the room goes quiet; neither daring to speak another word to one another. jungkook leaves the room after a few seconds with a red face and shaking hands.

"jung—"

"tell your mom to cancel this ceremony. it's not happening," jungkook angrily stomps away.

"jungkook!" he hears taehyung rum after him to catch up with his fast pace. "y-you can't do this! what about j—"

"shut up! i-i just want to be alone right now, okay?! so go tell your mom to fucking cancel everything," jungkook pushes taehyung away rather harshly; almost making him go to the ground. "you won't see me till tomorrow."

jimin swatted at his small tv box in his room. it barley worked anymore, and when it did, the screen was decently fuzzy. but he had to see this. he had to see the two princes; especially the one on his special day. he was practically jumping out of his seat (even though he was sitting on his hardwood floor) and couldn't help but smile.

they kept counting down the minutes till he would finally get to see them again. but, his dreams soon became crushed.

"unfortunately, we will had to postpone this celebration. the royal family send their deepest regards to everyone at home and in the kingdom who've been gathering and waiting for this event. they are not sure when this will happen for sure, but all they've given us is that they're dealing with personal family issues. again, they are deeply sorry for everyone who has been waiting for this. now, we will return to our regular news broadcasting station."

jimin's smile fell.

what the fuck? personal family issues? what happened? are they okay? does jungkook have seconds thoughts? did taehyung stop him from going out?

jimin wanted to keep listening in, but his shitty tv turned off and wouldn't go back on. he groaned and laid back on the hard floors; putting an arm over his eyes. "why would they cancel?"

all of this just made him want to see the two princes more. he wanted to comfort them in whatever they were going through.

but he can't. and he probably never will again.

"JEON JUNGKOOK! GET YOUR ASS OUT OF YOUR ROOM RIGHT THIS SECOND!!" the king banged on the youngest's bedroom door that was locked. "I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL BUST IN THERE IF I HAVE TO NOW COME OUT!!"

jungkook scoffed at this and just turned his music up on his earphones. he closes his eyes and tried his best to get comfortable on his bed. the banging and yelling was starting to annoy him; especially when a familiar feminine voice joined into the commotion.

"JUNGKOOK STOP BEING SELFISH AND GET THE FUCK OUT!" she screamed. jungkook simply rolled his eyes and squirmed on his bed. he'd changed out of his suit into a comfy sweatshirt and sweatpants (which he preferred much better).

after awhile, the pounding and screaming stopped and jungkook could finally lower hi music a bit.

then, he heard a soft knock followed by a soft voice.

"jungkook...?" the said male paused his music and took off his headphone; looking towards the door. "it's just me. can i come in?"

jungkook went over and opened the door hesitantly; peeking his head out first to make sure it was truly only his older step-brother. after checking, he yanked taehyung inside and locked the door close again.

"...ju—"

"i know, tae. i know," jungkook sighed and still faced the door; not being able to look at him. "i...i can explain."

"then explain," taehyung said calmly, not trying to be rude. "i-i'm sure i'll understand."

jungkook sighed heavily and clenched his fists to control his anger. "my father wanted me to promise him that i'd never bring him back here. i can't do that, taehyung! he'll loose all faith and trust in me. i...i can't let that happen."

taehyung didn't want to be mean, but he so badly wanted to say 'so? so what? we need to get jimin back! who knows what's going on over there?'. instead, he spoke, "why...why don't you just explain to your father how much this means to you?"

"because i've already spent so much time explaining to my dad that i have no feelings for jimin whatsoever and...if he comes back? all that will go down the drain. i'd probably kiss him when i see him again," jungkook smiled a little bittersweetly just at the thought of seeing the small male again.

"wait...what?"
