"Well, isn't that a sight?"

Yoongi's deep voice caused you to stir gently in your sleep, adjusting your position on the thin mattress that you were currently resting on.

Grace giggled in his arms, reaching for your sleeping form as she opened and closed her fists.

The young soldier shook his head, letting out a quiet chuckle as he slowly sat the toddler down on the bed, watching as she slowly began to crawl towards you.

The blond-haired child had woken him up this morning with seemingly unending cries and wails. At first, he believed that she was simply fussy from a lack of sleep or that she was hungry...or maybe she needed a change.

But nothing he did would work.

She cried and cried

And cried.

Min Yoongi was a patient man..He always tried to remain calm and collected, always looking on the reasonable side of things, but he couldn't handle anymore screaming.

So he did the only thing he could think of...

He brought her to you.

He had looked for you in your chambers, ready to apologize for waking up, but you weren't there. He bumped into Namjoon, who told him of your whereabouts, pointing him in the direction of his own bedroom.

A chuckle escaped his lips as Grace poked your cheek affectionately, a string of happy sounds pouring from her mouth as she nestled her cheek into yours.

The warmth from the child managed to stir you into consciousness, a yawn escaping your lips as you rubbed your tired blue eyes.

A large smile formed on your features as the young child greeted you with a kiss on the nose, her hands resting on your cheeks as she moved closer to you, trying to snuggle into your chest.

But..what she didn't know was that there was a very jealous spirit who was already clinging onto you.

Jin huffed as he eyed the little girl, wrapping his arms around your form and pulling you closer to his chest. 

"My Y/n." He told Grace.

She frowned and tilted her head at his words hazel eyes staring right at him.

Your eyebrows jumped in surprise.

"She can see you?" You whispered, eyes moving to Yoongi as he smiled down at you.

Jin nodded, burying his face in your chest and glaring at the toddler before him.

"Yes." He stated. "Babies are more susceptible to the spirit realm...They can see us, but the can't touch us...as they grow older the gift will fade."

You nodded slowly, trying to process the information.

Grace busted out into a fit of giggles, before she cuddled into your side, tiny fingers gripping the cloth of your shirt as she sucked on it happily.

Jin frowned, waving her away.

"My Y/n," He repeated childishly, motioning for the infant to leave your side. "Shoo. Shoo."

Grace only stared at him, continuing to suck on your cloak.

"I'm sorry to wake you." Yoongi stated.

You moved your blue gaze to stare at him, offering a small smile as you shook your head.

"Don't apologize." You chuckled as you watched the toddler stick her tongue out at Jin, who, returned the gesture instantly before burying his head in your chest once again. "I enjoy our little visits."

The young soldier offered you a gummy smile, hand extending to rub the back of his neck.

"She-She wouldn't stop crying." He started. "So my first instinct was to bring her to you."

You tilted your head, prying Jin off of you and sitting up straight, careful not to put any weight on your healing wrist.

"Really?" You asked, looking at Grace. "I'm honored."

You could hear Jin exhale sharply through his nose, clearly being annoyed with your sudden absence from his arms.

Yoongi cleared his throat nervously, a deep blush growing on his cheeks, eyes avoiding to make any kind of contact with yours.

"I- uhm.." He paused. "Would you like to join Grace and I for dinner this evening?"

.....

Yoongi gulped nervously at the sudden silence that fell over the room, his hands fiddling together in front of him as he searched for the right words to say.

StupidStupidStupid!

He cursed himself numerous times in his mind, trying his best not to let his insecurities show on the outside..He wasn't doing a good job at that.

He just asked you to dinner.

Min Yoongi, a soldier, asked Y/n, The Oracle, to have dinner with him in his small house, that could barely even fit himself and his two year old niece. Of course you weren't going to go! You lived in the palace! You were used to grand food and Yoongi was certainly no chef...not by any means...He was just a simple solider...

His eyes hesitantly moved to yours, searching for any kind of response to his question.

"I'm sorry." He said suddenly." I just thought that-well, you're so nice and Grace loves you so I wanted to thank-"

"I would love to." You interrupted happily.

Yoongi's stomach dropped.

Did he hear you right?

Did you just say yes?!

"R-Really?" He inquired.

You chuckled, nodding your head.

"Yeah! It will be fun!"

"Fun...." Yoongi repeated with a small smile.

He slowly moved his gaze away from you...

Why was his heart beating so fast?

"Okay!" Jin interrupted your peace as he wrapped his arms around your shoulders, trying to pull you back down to him once again. "Time for them to go!"

You moved his hands away from you, sending him a harsh look, which he responded to with a pout.

"They're interrupting cuddle time." He mumbled out cutely.

You rolled your eyes, trying not to smile at his adorable pouted lips as you turned back to Yoongi who watched you with piqued interest.

"Why don't you take Grace to the lily pond? I'm sure she would love to watch the fish swim."

He nodded his head hesitantly.

"And you?" He cleared his throat. "Will you be joining us?"

You smiled, glancing at the ghost beside you.

"I have a few things to do, but then I'll be sure to stop by."

Your answer seemed to satisfy the young soldier.

He bent down, scooping up Grace and walking towards the door, giving you one last glance before sliding it closed.

"Now that they're gone..."

Jin pulled you back down to lay beside of him, a satisfied smile on his face as he watched you chuckle and wrap your arms around him, eyes closing as you inhaled his sweet scent.

"What am I going to do with you?" You laughed with closed eyes.

He only smiled, gaze traveling over every last inch of your face, memorizing it...as if for the last time.

His voice came out soft as he sighed out, tangling his legs with yours as he whispered.

"Hold me."

"Just who does she think she is?!"

Jungkook's loud voice echoed off the paper walls of the Great Room, hands pulling at his dirty blond locks as he paced back and forth in front of his throne, chest heaving with anger as low growls escaped his throat.

"That little mouse is becoming a pest!" He continued.

Taehyung released a heavy sigh from his place on the throne.

The orange-haired man sat at a horizontal angle, head resting on one of the arm rests while his long legs draped over the other.

"Well, you did break her hand." Taehyung reasoned, a hint of anger lacing his voice. "She had a right to defend herself."

Jungkook stopped to send his brother a look, snarling at him.

"She disobeyed me."

"And?" Taehyung asked with a bored expression.

"And I am the Emperor! She should do as I say!"

A chuckle moved past Taehyung's full lips, his hand running through his hair..

"I'm so glad we don't have the same mother." He stated. "I don't think I could bear being fully related to you."

The young royal huffed in response, shooting the elder a look.

"Must you always bring that up?" He asked with an annoyed tone.

Taehyung nodded his head, sitting straight up and approaching his younger sibling, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"She's important." He stated. "You cannot simply just go around hurting her because you feel like it, people care about her, and if word of what you have done were to get out-"

"I know." Jungkook interrupted.

"Listen, Kook." He sighed. "You and I both know that sometimes you let your anger get the best of you...You loose focus and only concentrate on hurting others....It's not healthy."

Jungkook nodded, submitting to his brothers scolding as he hung his head in shame.

"Do you honestly think that breaking her hand was okay?" Taehyung asked.

The younger shook his head, brown eyes moving up to his brother.

"No." He stated. "I know it wasn't...I just...I can't help it, you know? She makes me crazy."

"Of course she does!" The older exclaimed with a smile. "She's the first girl who hasn't swooned at the very mention of your name! She's a challenge."

Jungkook's ears perked up at that word.

"A challenge?" He asked.

Taehyung nodded, earning an evil grin from the young Emperor.

"I've just had an idea, brother."

The orange-headed man tilted his head in response, signalling for Jungkook to continue..

"A competition."

Taehyung's eyebrows shot up at the word.

"Go on..."

Jungkook smiled.

"The first one of us to bed her...Will have the prize."

The young royal crossed his arms over his chest.

"And what exactly is this prize?"

The Emperor chuckled.

"She is."
