Seokjin bit his lower lip as he saw the blank expressions of the boys standing in the room- especially Taehyung's. Jungkook's head cocked to the side as he took in the sight of Seokjin wearing the same silky robes as Taehyung. He looked stunning, Breath-taking, but compliments weren't the things on the boys' mind as they tried to take in what they were seeing.
"Hyung?" Taehyung finally uttered. His voice was filled with concern and curiosity as his brows furrowed. Jimin couldn't quite say anything and Jungkook's eyes twinkled at the sight of the uniform.
With a sigh, Seokjin pressed his thumb against the empty scabbard, "I'm sorry I couldn't tell everyone any sooner."
Jimin opened his mouth to speak, but his usual supportive comments didn't quite spill from his lips. Even Jimin couldn't say anything because this was so unexpected and he's the one who usually reassures everyone and gives encouraging words.
"I'm sorry I can explain—" Seokjin began once more. Taehyung cut him off quite angrily:
"Why Hyung?! This is dangerous for me to go on my own! Why must you come with me?!"
Seokjin felt his ears burn up as he felt the younger's gaze fixate on him and his beautiful robe. He could feel where his eyes were, burning at the area they were settling upon. He didn't look up until the burning reached the top of his head.
"I-I'm so sorry Taehyung... I'm just scared nobody will protect you—"
"I am a man now Hyung! I can protect myself! You can barely go outside at night without Namjoon Hyung!"
Seokjin wanted to slap himself in the face. Of course Taehyung would have brought that up. He hoped that Namjoon didn't hear from inside.
Taehyung continue to gaze at his hyung with sadness and anger in his eyes. Before he could cry, he ran into the fields, far away where only one person could find him.

It wasn't long before Yoongi heard loud knockings on his chamber door. Before he could answer the knocks, he heard a faint call:
"H-hyung? S-sorry if you're sleeping I... I just felt a little scared because I heard the bushes tremble."
The voice was warm and sweet; like honey. It hit a spot in the Emperor which made him soft and fuzzy on the inside. A young man peeped around the corner, timid and almost shaking.
The young man is Jung Hoseok. Him and Yoongi are to wed in the upcoming months, giving Hoseok the power to rule alongside the Emperor (although this isn't Hoseok's intention- he merely was so eager about marriage because he is in love with Yoongi).
Yoongi signalled Hoseok to enter, to which he responded with a grin and a run into Yoongi's arms. The older held the younger in his arms for a moment, before pulling away.
"What's wrong Sunshine? Are the Kitsune scaring you?"
Hoseok was terrified of the Japanese creatures. He was told about how they could shapeshift to become anything they wanted and could trick human minds to think that they are their loved ones.
Hoseok nodded madly, "Can I please sleep with you tonight hyung?"
Yoongi chuckled, "Of course you can Sunshine," he caressed Hoseok softly and snuggled him up in his bed, "Would you like anything to drink at all?"
"No thank you Hyung, just a cuddle will be enough."
The emperor was actually a gentle man. He took Hoseok into his arms and ran his fingers through his hair.
Before long, Hoseok was fast asleep in Yoongi's arms. The older smiled fondly as he pulled a blanket over them both. You wouldn't expect a cold emperor like Min Yoongi to fall in love, but sometimes he needs someone like Hoseok to be the sun in the storm. He knew that he would do anything at all costs to keep his beloved safe, even if it meant sacrificing his life.
