Jungkook stood in awe for a moment contemplating the male's face. His eyes trailing on his body. He snapped out and made his way toward the two princes, bowing to the blond, who did the same. The two men didn't know what to say and do, so they just stood there in silence. The blondie opened his mouth; "Follow me." That was all he said before moving away from the small group.

Jungkook and Jimin looked at each other and rejoined the prince who was already heading towards the staircase. The boys followed him in silence as he was leading them to his office. He stopped in front of the massive door and pushed it open nodding toward the inside, letting the boys know they could enter. He closed the door behind them and directed himself to his desk.

The two boys stood in the middle of the room unknowing of what to do. Prince Kim pointed at a sofa on the side, "Take a seat." The two boys sat next to each other not saying a word. Prince Kim continued while going up to the boys to sit on the sofa across them. "Nice to meet you, I am the Green Stone prince. I'm sure you already know, but proper introductions are necessary." He looked at the two boys and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "Now, I know what you are here for, and it seems like my answer did not satisfy you but I must repeat myself. I do not wish to be involved."

Jimin sighed quietly and Jungkook noticed, so he took his right to talk. "I know that already, but we came all the way here to ask you personally because we need an ally. The two of us stand no chances against the rest of the kingdoms. I understand your fear, and I also understand that you do not wish to be allied with people you don't know, but we truly need this." Jungkook finished, letting Jimin replace him. "As prince Jeon explained, we don't know each other, but we need someone else. I'm sure you know what could be the outcome if we fail to regroup all the kingdoms, I know you thought about it. You might ask why you, well, all the other kingdoms had bad experiences in the past, involving our three kingdoms. We are the only ones we have, we can only count on each other for this one."

Jimin glanced at Jungkook, for him to continue. "We'd really appreciate it if you could think about it, more seriously. Think about the damages it could cause if you don't want to join us. I'm sure you know it, but you just want to ignore it. And if you do, you will be in any way forced to actions due to those conflicts." The room stayed silent for a couple of seconds before prince Kim loudly sighed and leaned back on the sofa. He tapped his foot stressfully on the hardwood floor. Deep down, he knew that the two princes were right, he knew it, but, something refrained him from accepting reality. He didn't know what to answer to the two princes, he wanted to say he was going to think about it, but at the same time, it would degrade his pride by just accepting like that. He then decided to make it last a little bit and accept at the last moment when they were going to give up, so his pride would not be hurt.

"You two are desperate uh !" He smirked putting his dominance in action. Jimin was a bit irritated by that sentence. He was definitely not the kind to beg and ask for something, but replying to him was just going to aggravate things, so he just stayed quiet. Jungkook noticed the annoyance in Jimin's eyes and gave a discrete tap on his arm, telling him to calm down.

"I get it, you really need me...but I'm not going to give up easily." He grinned satisfied to see the two other princes under his dominance. "I'll give you a week to convince me, you'll be staying here. Since we don't know each other maybe we could." what a fun game was it going to be, he thought. He was going to play a little bit with them before giving in. Or so he thought.

Jungkook's eyes narrowed in confusion. Prince Kim noticed and felt more amused. "By the way, call me Taehyung, I can call you by your first names right ?" The two princes annoyingly nodded at the same time. "Great, you can go back to your rooms, enjoy your time in my castle, it's by far one of the greatest." He announced a sarcastic smile on his face. The two princes got up in silence and bowed making their way to the door shutting it back behind them.
