jimin checked jeongguk's room but jeongguk wasn't there.
jimin checked the dinning room, the kitchen, the library and the younger prince was still not there. why could he have gone?
"jimin?" asked his father who had walked by, "what are you doing?"
"looking for jeongguk," jimin answered, "i can't find him."
"oh," his father answered, "he went outside in the garden. i think he is playing with timmy."
jimin thanked his father and went outside. he looked around then heard a barking, timmy. jimin followed the sound to see jeongguk playing with his husky, timmy. jimin watched from a far as jeongguk threw the twig for timmy to chase. he was having funny. then jimin saw jeongguk sit down.
timmy approached jeongguk a bit differently, in a caring manner. jimin watched as timmy sat down in front of jeongguk, and placed his head on the lap of jeongguk's. jeongguk patted his head.
jimin looked closely at jeongguk and saw jeongguk was crying. jimin quickly rushed over, "jeongguk!" he called. jeongguk quickly wiped his tears as jimin came, "jeongguk are you okay?"
jeongguk nodded, "yeah, im fine," he said, "just a bit homesick, timmy reminded me of hani. they both are playful." jimin sat down next to jeongguk, "they are both playful," he said. jeongguk nodded as he looked down at timmy, "your dog is nice," jeongguk said, "what's his name?"
when jimin heard jeongguk say, friend, he felt a bit sad. jimin didn't know what it was. "want to head inside?" jimin asked, "you have to get ready to leave."
jeongguk nodded and said goodbye to timmy before following jimin inside the castle.

"mother?" jimin asked entering her room, "can i ask you something?"
his mother who was sitting at her desk nodded, "of course you can, what is it?"
"well i was reading a book and had a question for one of the characters."
"okay, what is it?"
"well theres a blueberry," said jimin, "this blueberry has liked this raspberry for a long time. then the blueberry was told he had to marry a strawberry. at first the blueberry hated the strawberry, but later he realized things that made him see the strawberry different. the blueberry used to feel excited when he saw the raspberry but now he feels less about the it. he feels more excited with the strawberry. what could that mean?"
the queen tried to hide her smile, "well, i think you know the answer to that one," she said, "it's exactly like you said, ' he feels more excited with the strawberry then with the raspberry' it's obvious that the blueberry likes the strawberry now."
jimin's eyes widened, "really?" his queen nodded, "what is the title of the book you are reading? I would like to read it myself."
"i don't remember, "jimin replied, "i'll let you know when i check."

"jeongguk!" hani yelled once jeongguk returned, "i miss you!"
jeongguk hugged his running little sister, "I missed you too hani," he said.
"welcome home," said his father. jeongguk smiled, "thank you."
"tired?" asked the queen, "it's all over your face, why don't you take a nap?"
jeongguk nodded and headed upstairs.

jimin went to his room and opened the drawer at his desk, he took out the box of letters taehyung had given him from childhood.
jimin looked over them, they didn't spark anything in him anymore. jimin looked over at the letter jeongguk had written for him, he felt a spark and blushed. oh my gosh i fell for jeongguk.
—
the next few days jeongguk was quiet, his mother tried to talk to him but he didn't.
he doesn't like me. this is going to be a loveless marriage. theres going to be an affair in this marriage i bet.
soon this thoughts got to the boy, he got sick with a cold.

"your highness," said a servant, "theres someone here to see you."
jimin told the servant to let him in, "taehyung?" he said, "what are you doing here?"
"you forgot?" taehyung said, "i told you i would visit you after i had settled."
"whoops," jimin said with an embarrassed smile, "you did."
"is now a bad time?"
"no," jimin said standing up, "why don't we go to the garden?"
