Jimin walked quietly beside Yoongi, doing his best to dodge all the tree roots and mesh of vines and ferns. Every now and then he had to use his sword to clear off the vegetation from their path.

"Yoongi where are we going?" Jimin asked, slicing his sword across ferns. 

"I don't remember the name of the place Jiminie. Only Hoseok does" Yoongi answered. 

"It's Jimin" Jimin replied with gritted teeth. 

Yoongi sighed and rolled his eyes, "Yeah whatever, Jiminie"

Jimin growled lowly and ignored it. Silence fell upon the two again. It was getting awkward for Jimin as walked, but he wasn't sure what to do until he remembered something.

"Yoongi" Jimin called out, cutting of a jumble of creepers and mosses latched across undergrowth. The elder hummed in response, climbing up and across a part of fallen tree. 

"How did you volunteer for the team when you weren't even present for the Choosing ceremony?" Jimin asked, looking over his shoulder. 

Yoongi looked at and then back at the ground, "What do you mean?"

"Yoongi, the rules are that every eligible has to present for the Choosing. However you were not there in the line candidates. Instead you were in the crowd of audience. And I know for a fact that apart from candidates no one else is allowed to volunteer" Jimin answered.

"Why do you think I was able to do it?" Yoongi asked, raising his eyebrow and small smirk tugging on his lips. 

Jimin frowned, trying to remember any previous occurrence where some one from the crowd was able to volunteer. But Jimin had only spectated six Games, during of which nothing like that like happen.

"Jiminie..." The said person stopped walking, ignoring the nick name, "I'm a blue blood"

Jimin stared at Yoongi with blank look. Blinking thrice before the realization dawned upon him. Jimin was with a person from the elite blood-line

"You-you are a nobleman?" Jimin asked, pointing his sword unconsciously at Yoongi.

"Not just a nobleman, Jimine" Yoongi sighed, lowering the blade of the sword with his bow, "I'm the current prince of the Min Family"

Jimin chocked on his saliva, his eyes widening like saucers as he stared at the said prince in in front of him. That's when he remember something. People from the Royal family were the only one excluded from the Choosing ceremony. For, the Game was created as a sort of entertainment for the Royal families. However with time, it became a sport for everyone. But, Royalties continued to be the only one who were bound to take part in the Games. They, however, could choose to volunteer in the Games. Even though, monarchy was removed by democracy, the Kings, Queens and noblemen still held much power and respect.

But Royal families are supposed to live in the Central Province. 

"But, why do you live in GlassWater?" Jimin asked.
