#Hey fam... here's the 2nd part fresh outta the oven.. enjoy😊 

           

          ~Day of the function~                
       
         
     "I absolutely HATE this! First, they put me in this vile dress and now they want me to mingle with the ladies?" Exclaimed Jungkook getting extremely frustrated. He didn't like talking with the ladies, especially the ones who threw themselves at him. 

"It's a traditional dress for the princes of Goryeo and as a prince it is your duty to socialize with others so that you can make allies," said Sir Hoseok. He was the king's most trusted man and also Jungkook's teacher. They both were extremely good at sword fighting. 

"You must act like a proper prince, Jungkook. The citizens must know that we are deserving of the prince title........ as well as.... a good candidate for the future king," Jimin said thinking twice before saying the last line. He had no prominent emotion on his face. 

At his remark Jungkook rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, alright. I'll try." 
           
        
Easier said than done. Jungkook looked at all the ladies that came to attend the function. He felt nauseous looking at the girls all dressed up like it was their wedding day. He just wanted to go out and get some fresh air. 

Well, it was not their fault. They all adorned themselves with designer clothes and the finest kind of jewellery in hope's of catching the eyes of one of the princes. 

But they were also equally interested in the king. Even though king Kim Seokjin was father of three magnificently handsome princes he still managed to hold the crown of both as the king and as the most handsome man in the whole of Goryeo. But he didn't have any plans to take another concubine as he sat beside his love, queen Kang Miyoon. The three concubines he had were for political reasons. His true heart laid with the queen's. 

           
                          ..... 

        
Jungkook was looking for his brothers as he was bored but what caught his eyes was Jimin talking with their Royal uncle Namjoon. 

He remembered that Namjoon had gone to the neighbouring country for trade and only came back a few days ago. So he decided to greet him. 

"Royal uncle, how are you?How was Qin?" Jungkook asked delightfully. 

"Oh Jungkook, Qin was great. I assure you that there'll be no war with Qin in the coming days," replied Namjoon with a big smile on his lips, his dimples evident. 

"So what are you two talking about?" Asked Jungkook. 

"Nothing. Just random things. So, Jimin, how about we go to my study and continue from where we left off in the garden the other day?" Suggested Namjoon looking right at Jimin's eyes. 

"Sure, uncle. We'll talk later Jungkook." Jimin replied without making eye contact with him. 
       
         
        
~Jungkook's P.O.V~ 
     
          
      
'What is wrong with Jimin. I had never seen him so uncomfortable. Well, that's not my business. I better get out of here.' I thought. 
       
       
As I was trying to escape the palace I heard a strong voice call my name. I immediately knew who it belonged to. 

"Father! What are you doing here?" I'm a dumbass idiot. 

"What do you mean what I'm doing here? This is my birthday celebration. Were you trying to run away?" He asked me and raised one eyebrow. 

"No, why would I run away? I.. I.. I was looking at the girls. They are very pretty right?" Even bigger dumbass. I smiled like I was constipated. 

"Hideous!" Father remarked with a straight face. 

I knew it. My father knew me the best. "Yes, you're right father. They look hideous. I mean how do they walk in those things? Don't they feel stuffy or trapped?"

"No, I meant, if you looking at the girls was a joke then it was hideous. At least give a proper excuse, son." 

He was right. It would be a joke if I said that I was looking at the girls. I mean, come on, look at them. No! Don't look at them. They are hideous. 

I only looked at my father as I didn't know what to say and waited for him to speak.   

"The reason I called you was because I want you to meet someone. He is a very rich merchant and very influential. He also has a big army. So we must get his support. And I also heard that he has a very beautiful daughter. Who knows, you might be in a luck today." With that father indicated me to follow him. 

'Am I the one getting married? Is this girl the so-called bride father picked for me? No, it can't be. I must find a way out of this.' 

As I was contemplating running away from there, father stopped walking causing me to halt on my steps. 

Father and Hoseok hyung were talking with a man who looked like someone from a rich household. And beside him stood a girl with green eyes and long black hair. 

Immediately flashes of the incident at the market came to my mind. I looked at her. Our eyes locked. We both widened our eyes and practically screamed, "YOU!!!"
