At the sound of the explosion, Jungkook glanced at Yoongi, who nodded.

“Plan B” he said and got up from his seat.

“I'm afraid we must cut this dinner short…” Jungkook got up, “...we will entertain your Grace some other time.”

“What is going on?” Taehyung whispered as he looked at the mens back, who left in hurry.

“War” Jimin answered and ate the last of his dessert.

“What?!” Taehyung stood up in shock.

“They've gone for a war Tae, we were attacked” Jimin explained.

“And you are not freaking out because?” Taehyung pressed, heart racing wildly.

Jimin simply shrugged and the latter's mouth hung open.

“This is madness!” Taehyung started pacing around and Jimin immediately stood to halt him.

“It is okay Tae, they'll be back. Victoriously of course” he added.

“How are you so sure?”

“Because he hasn't lost a battle as of yet” Jimin murmured.

“As of yet” Taehyung stressed and Jimin sighed.

“Come with me” Jimin gestured and Taehyung followed along, albeit little suspiciously.

Jimin took them up to their huge balcony, overlooking the entire castle front.

“See, they're extensively armed. They will win” Jimin gestured around the vast area laddled with tanks, trucks and innumerable soldiers yielding various firearms.

“And if they start to lose, they will call upon our army” Taehyung stated lividly.

Instead of acknowledging Taehyung's statement, Jimin's eyes had landed on Jungkook, who was barking orders left and right.

“Is that…” Jimin's eyes landed on another man, who was getting yelled at by the furious Commander.

Without saying another word, Jimin ran away, leaving a confused Taehyung to run after him.

“Taeyong!” Jimin called out as soon as he reached down and neared the commotion.

“What are you doing here?!” Jungkook said in an accusatory tone while Taeyong simply looked on in surprise.

“Why is he hurt?” Jimin asked pointing towards Taeyong.

“What is going on?! Why did you run down Ji-?” Taehyung caught himself in time because he saw Jungkook's angry face. Clearly, an argument was in session.

“He was sent to war...” Jungkook answered, he then turned back, “...which he clearly isn't fit for” he barked in displeasure.

“But why? He is my assistant!” Jimin said.

“Because I'm the Commander and I said so…” Jungkook sounded too rude for Jimin's liking, “...and I want you to go inside and stay there, I don't want a repetition of last time” he pointed towards the castle.

Jimin opened and closed his mouth a few times before walking away. Taehyung looked at Jungkook who was looking at Jimin's back before sighing and turning towards the man called ‘Taeyong.’

“Your majesty…” Taehyung heard the familiar deep voice, so he turned around.

“You too shall head back in and be with your brother, it's a safety issue. You of all should understand that” Yoongi tipped his head.

Taehyung hummed before walking away, within few steps, he stopped and turned around, happy to find Yoongi still had his attention on him.

“Good luck” Taehyung whispered and Yoongi grinned at him before turning around and walking away like the badass he is.

Taehyung threw the paper toward Jimin's direction and sighed. They were currently in Jimin's office, killing time since the war still wasn't over even after three days.

“I'm surprised the King let you stay” Jimin murmured, reading over the paper Taehyung threw.

“Traveling isn't exactly safe at the moment, so he figured I'm safer here” Taehyung shrugged, now going through the files on the desk.

“You shouldn't” Jimin whispered and Taehyung looked at him in question.

“If someone sees you going through these papers, it will be troublesome...” Jimin leaned over and spoke in a hushed tone, “...and I don't want your visiting favour to be revoked.”

“Alright…” Taehyung sighed heavily and placed the file down, “...so what are we supposed to do? Host tea parties until they return?”

“No…” Jimin giggled, “...wish I could take you around the village, but for now…” he stood up, “... I'll give you a tour around the castle, and the garden here is impressive, no offense.”

“None taken” Taehyung too stood up and followed after Jimin.

Another week later:

“You know…” Jimin caught Taehyung's attention. They were in the kitchen, baking cookies.

“Know what?” Taehyung questioned, licking the chocolate off the spoon he used to stir the mixture.

“Yoongi never ate with us, but that day he did” Jimin gave a smirk.

“I wonder why” Taehyung snorted.

“Oh come on! You liked him so much before, what changed?”

“My possible future flashed before my eyes when you got shot because of your precious husband” Taehyung spat.

“They're not the same…” Jimin glared with a hand on his waist, “...and he's learning to be a good husband” he added.

“Oh right, we'll see how long that lasts” Taehyung rolled his eyes.

“Sir!” suddenly a maid ran in, look of panic on her face.

Jimin and Taehyung turned around and questioned her in unison, “what happened‽”

“Commander is-” before she could finish, someone walked in and finished her sentence.

“-back” Jungkook smiled, despite looking battered. Behind him stood several soldiers who had escorted him inside.

“Are you okay?!” Jimin screeched.

“Almost lost my wedding ring but I'm okay…” Jungkook raised his left hand, showing off his wrapped hand, “... Yoongi had it worse” he ended with a chuckle and Taehyung's mouth hung open.

“Where is he‽” It was now Taehyung's turn to screech, resulting in a painful ringing in Jungkook's ear, which were previously assaulted by the warfare.

“At the base” Jungkook answered wincing in pain and Taehyung immediately ran toward the door, he then held the forearm of a soldier.

“Take me to him!” He commanded and the soldier gave him a confused look whilst Jimin and Jungkook looked on in shock.

“I am a freaking Prince goddamn it! Take me there right now!” Taehyung's voice held urgency, which made the panicked soldier obey and run towards the exit, Taehyung following right after him.

After watching the Prince run away, Jungkook turned towards Jimin with a cocked eyebrow, asking ‘what the fuck just happened?’

Jimin simply shrugged and raised a plate.

“Want to try these cookies we made?” He offered and Jungkook walked towards him.

“Sure…” he grabbed one and took a bite, “...can I get some milk? Need it to heal this broken hand” he chuckled and Jimin's eyes widened before he quickly moved to pour his husband a glass of warm milk.

“Oh my God!” Taehyung screamed upon seeing Yoongi laying in bed inside a tent at the military base.

“Fuck, could you be any more louder?” Yoongi winced in pain as he tried to sit up. Taehyung immediately sat at his side and placed his hand on his chest, motioning him to stay down.

“What happened to you?” Taehyung's voice shook as he looked over Yoongi's bandaged body. He had patches of bandages on his left thigh, around his stomach and a huge one wrapped around his entire right shoulder. Few bruises covered his flawless face.

“Got caught up in an explosion…” at his words Taehyung's eyes widened and he held Yoongi's hand in consolation, “...and got shot at the shoulder” he added with a weak smile.

“Hey!...” Yoongi cupped Taehyung's cheek with his left hand and wiped off the tear that slid down from his beautiful sad eyes, “I am going to be fine” He assured staring into Taehyung's eyes.

“Why?” Taehyung asked and Yoongi raised his eyebrows in question.

“Why do all this? It's pointless” Taehyung elaborated.

“It's not my decision, I'm a mere soldier who is taught to obey orders” Yoongi chuckled.

“You should stop” Taehyung said in a pouty voice.

“Not everyone can afford that, you are a Prince so it's easy for you to say that” Yoongi's tone held seriousness and Taehyung sighed in defeat.

“So…” Yoongi's words made Taehyung look up at him, “...I didn't think your majesty cared enough about a humble little soldier like me to the point of coming here to see me” he smirked.

“You're Second in Command, not a mere soldier” Taehyung corrected.

“Hmm...a Prince and a Second in Command officer, how scandalous” Yoongi teased, making Taehyung roll his eyes before hitting him on the shoulder.

“Ow” Yoongi winced and Taehyung's eyes widened, “I'm so sorry” he apologised with concern all over his face.

“Actually my other shoulder is hurt” Yoongi said with a smug grin and Taehyung's mouth hung open in part shock and exasperation.

Sorry for the lateness :(

Why do you think Taeyong (Jimin's assistant) was sent to war?

What do you think about Taegi? Will their relationship be affected by what Jimin is supposed to do?

Thank you for reading my patient little sweet cupcakes.
