14. Save me

     "So, how is your plan going on by far?" Namjoon asked. 

Seeing him, Yoongi and Hoseok was a little startled as to why he would come to Yoongi's room so late at night. 

"It's going good, Your Highness. You need not worry about it. The festival is in three days. As soon as Jungkook gets busy with the work, I'll go kidnap her," Hoseok said before folding the map and putting it inside his robe. 

"Then I'll leave it to you. And please treat the girl with utmost care. We don't want such a delicate flower to wither, do we?" Namjoon said and took his leave. 
       
      
"Do I really look like a bad person?" Hoseok asked Yoongi raising his hands in the air. 

"That's your problem. Now, get out of my room. I want to sleep." With that Yoongi pushed Hoseok out of his room. 
      
       
       
                ~The next day~   
       
        
      
YN was sitting under a tree in the mountains and Jungkook was lying down putting his head on her lap. She was gently stroking his hair. They had been meeting there everyday. 

"What are you thinking?" YN asked Jungkook who was dazed out. 

YN's question got him out of his trance. He sat up and said, "Father wants me to start this year's Prayer festival."

"Wow! That's great news! It is an honor to do it."

"I know. I'll be very busy these two days so I can't meet you." His eyes showed pain. 

"It's just two days. Besides, I'll come to the festival too. We can meet there," YN said blushing. 

"Cute." Jungkook pinched at YN's soft cheeks. He had the blessing to see her blush everyday. To think that this girl was to become his spouse, made him giggle. 

He put his lips on her's. He was getting braver day by day. Kissing her seemed to be a daily activity now. Staying away from her was getting harder. 

"I need to ask father to grant us marriage as soon as possible. It's really hard to control myself. I want to make you mine," Jungkook professed before stealing another kiss from her. 

"Then hurry up and ask for his permission. I don't like sneaking out like this to meet you. I feel like I'm having an illegitimate affair."

"I promise I'll ask after the festival."

Jimin knocked at Namjoon's door. He had been thinking the whole night. He could not commit treason. He loved his brothers very much and if his father thought that Jungkook would make a better king than him then he would completely respect that decision. So, he came here today to tell Namjoon that he would not attack the throne. 

Namjoon opened his door to find Jimin standing there. He took him inside and told him to sit on the chair. 

"Is there a problem, son?" Namjoon asked, comprehending Jimin's troubled expression. 

"I can't do this, uncle. I can't hurt my brothers. Who am I to judge who should be king? If father thinks that Jungkook should be king then he definitely should be. I can't order an attack on my family in the right mind. I'm sorry, uncle."

"You don't have to be sorry for anything. I just wanted to help you, that's all. If you think that your father's decision is right then I've got nothing to say about it. I'm happy if you're happy," Namjoon said gently hugging the boy. 

"Thank you uncle, for understanding me. I'll take my leave now."

"Sure child." Namjoon bade him goodbye and closed the door. 
                     
                        
                      
"Everything was going good. Why did you have to change your mind Jimin? Now, I have to do this the hard way. Oh poor Jimin! It doesn't matter if you want this or not, you have  to attack on the day of the festival."

Hoseok spent the whole day trying to capture YN. But to no avail, he only met with disappointment. 

Since Jungkook was busy with the preparations and Taehyung was occupied with class, YN didn't sneak out alone. She only went to the tailors and then went straight back home. 

Her house is heavily guarded. Getting in and coming out with her would be close to impossible. Hoseok waited hours for her to come out. But the day was wasted just like that. 

Being dejected, Hoseok came back to the palace at night. He went to Yoongi's room to tell him about his failure and to discuss another plan. But when he got inside his room he saw Taehyung talking with him. 

"What are you doing here at this hour?" Hoseok asked, confused. 

"Master told me everything. I want to help. YN is a very good friend of mine, I don't want her to get hurt. I will tell her the truth. I'm sure she'll understand," Taehyung said looking at Hoseok.             

      

"You think telling her the truth would work?" Hoseok asked. 

"Yes, I'm sure. Jungkook won't understand if we tell him, if anything he would go straight to her to keep her safe. So, our best bet is telling YN the truth and asking her not to attend the festival."

"Don't you think that Jungkook will go looking for her if she doesn't attend the festival?" Yoongi asked lazily, yawning. 

"He wouldn't know where to look as she would be at His Highness Namjoon's place. This could work," said Hoseok. 

"Then I will meet her tomorrow."
