jimin woke up the next morning with a headache, "what happened," he mumbled as he sat up slowly.
"you're awake," jeongguk said entering the bedroom, "how are you feeling?"
"my head hurts," jimin said, "what happened last night?"
jeongguk set a tray down on the table and sat beside jimin, "there were some ruffians who wanted to sell you for money. they hit your head pretty hard that you were out cold. there is a minor bump behind your head. the doctor said it would go away, but you should just be careful."
jimin nodded, "who found me?"
"me, of course," jeongguk said, "you disappeared during the party so i went looking for you. hani said she saw you walking in the garden so i went from there and found you then brought you back."
"where are my parents?" jimin asked.
"home," jeongguk said, "they are investigating, they want you to stay here until you are healed."
jimin nodded, "thank you," he said, "for your help."
jeongguk smiled, "no problem," he said then picked up the bowl, "hungry? i brought porridge."
jimin nodded and reached for the bowl when jeongguk shook his head, "let me fed you," he said, "you need to rest." jimin blushed but nodded, jeongguk gave him a spoonful of porridge.

"jimin what are you doing?" he asked the boy who was getting out of bed, "i want to take a shower," he answered, "i don't want to stay in bed all day."
jeongguk sighed and got up from his desk, "okay wait," he said and opened his closet," heres a towel and a change of clothing."
jimin thanked him and went to the washroom.
time flew as jeongguk was working when he heard the washroom door open. he looked up to see jimin in his clothes, they were a bit baggy for the smaller boy but they looked cute on him.
jimin noticed jeongguk's stare, "they are a bit big," he said placing the towel down.
jeongguk shook his head, "they look cute on you." jeongguk realized what he said and looked away as he cleared his throat.
jimin blushed and hid a smile, "i am going to the library," he said. jeongguk nodded and heard the smaller prince leave.
what the hell? he thought, 'they look cute on you'?
jeongguk groaned at the memory.

jimin walked to the library and looked through the wide variation of books the castle had, he took his time and found a book. as he flipped through the pages, he realized he had picked a poetry book.
"Hope" is the thing with feathers - that perches in the soul - and sings the tune without the words - And never stops – at all – And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard – And sore must be the storm – That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm – I've heard it in the chillest land – And on the strangest Sea – Yet – never – in Extremity, It asked a crumb – of me. - "Hope" is the thing with feathers by Emily Dickinson
jimin read others, some were about death, hope, and love. jimin was engrossed in the book that he didn't hear the door of the library open.
jeongguk noticed jimin had been out for some time and decided to chekc up on him, he entered the the library and saw jimin reading. jeongguk walked over and peaked at the book he was reading. it was a book of a collection of american poets.
jeongguk sat next to jimin, "i didnt know you like poetry," said jeongguk startling jimin. jimin nodded, "i do like to read it, but i could never create one. i am not creative."
jeongguk nodded, "i couldn't either," he said.
jimin glanced at jeongguk, "can i ask?" he asked.
"ask what?"
"about your opinion."
"about?"
jimin frowned and closed the book, "dont act like you don't know," jimin said with a pout, "about my confession."
jeongguk chuckled, "you want an answer?"
jimin nodded, "whether you like me or not back," he said, "i want—"
jimin's eyes widened when he felt a pair of lips cover his, silencing him. jeongguk placed a hand on jimin's cheek and jimin closed his eyes then kissed back. jeongguk took the book out of jimin's lap and pulled jimin closer to him, as he deepened the kiss.
jimin gasped when he felt jeongguk slip a tongue into the kiss, making it more passionate. jimin placed his arms around jeongguk's neck, jeongguk pulled away before the kiss would become too deep.
"does that answer your question?" asked jeongguk. jimin looked at him with a blush and nodded.
