...Flower of Evil...

Iseul kept sparring alone in the sparring ground like she has gone crazy. It has been hours since she started and hasn't shown any hint of stopping it any time soon.

Taehyung, Jungkook and Jimin had been watching her since a long too. They would never dare go near her when she is mad like that. It is impossible to make her stop. Her sword glares were too sharp and it was dangerous to try to go near her.

Jungkook, "It's past mid night. It doesn't seem like she is going to stop any time soon"

Taehyung kept staring at Iseul with a hint of guilt. "What did mother do this time? "

Jimin,"This isn't good. We need to stop her. She is exhausted"

Jungkook bit bottom lip worriedly. "If only brother Seokjin was here"

Seokjin was the only one who could calm down this furious sister of theirs. Even though Prince Seokjin was her brother,he was more like the father figure to her. So,naturally, she would listen to him.

"I'm already here"

The youngest trio snapped their heads in unison. Their eyes were lit up instantly. It was like they saw their only hope.

The Crown Prince Seokjin, the next king of the nation. He was in his royal attire with a golden coloured ribbon around his forehead. His figure was charismatic with broad shoulders. His striking looks were the arrows to the hearts of young lovers.

"Brother!"

Along side,Prince Yoongi was there. It seems like he was the one who called Seokjin.

Seokjin looked at Iseul who was still sparring alone. "Let me handle her"

He took out his sword from the hilt and strode towards his sister. Just as he got closer to her,she sensed someone's presence and was quick to turn around and striked. He blocked the attack with his sword easily.

Iseul's eyes widened when she saw who came to join the sparring ground. Even before she could utter anything, Seokjin threw a strike. And just like that,both of them started sparring in the middle of the night.

Jungkook excitedly jumped forward to watch the scene and shouted. "ISEUL!YOU CAN DO IT! BEAT HIM! — Ouch!"

He instantly received a smack from Yoongi's fan. That fan was the Prince Yoongi's spiritual device. He often uses his fan instead of his sword to fight demons or anyone.

"Shut it", Yoongi demanded but he was flabbergasted when Jimin also started shouting.

"ISEUL!!GO GO GO!STRIKE HIM FROM BEHIND!!"

Taehyung,"HEY ISEUL!WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING!STRIKE HIM BACK!DON'T BE A COWARD NOW!"

Yoongi heaved a tired sigh as he is done with the idiots. He looked at the sparring duo and smiled seeing a smile on Iseul's face. Prince Seokjin was the best to lift up her mood.

After the tiring sparring,Iseul and Seokjin stopped it. Jungkook, Taehyung and Jimin ran over to them while Yoongi lazily followed them.

Seokjin supported the now numb Iseul to stand straight. She couldn't even stand without being supported now. "You fool,look at you now. Hahaha"

Iseul pouted and hugged him with a tired sigh. "I'm tired,brother"

Seokjin, "I can see that. Alright, let's take you to your room"

Seokjin didn't try asking what happened. He knew that it will be uncomfortable for Iseul, so he stayed silent about the fact. He took Iseul to his back and started walking.

Seokjin, "Tomorrow, let's go to hot springs. Call the other two too"

The eyes of the youngsters twinkled in excitement.

Jimin,"Really?!! Are we really going there?! Together?!"

Seokjin smiled and nodded. It's been so long since the seven of them played together. The elder boys were stuck with the new responsibilities and they hardly spent their time with youngsters. Seokjin was the busiest since he was the crown Prince. The responsibilities of a crown Prince is different from others.

Yoongi,"Didn't you hear what he said,you punk. Go and tell Namjoon and Hoseok"

Jimin did a little dance in happiness and ran away instantly to find his other two brothers.

Jungkook meekly went behind Yoongi and jumped on his back taking everyone off guard.

Taehyung rolled his eyes,"He is going to get killed by his hands one day"

Jungkook smiled cheekily when Yoongi gave a murderous glare. His eyes were cursing him but Jungkook wasn't the one to jump down.

"Get down,punk"

"I'm sleepy too", he said immediately before placing his head on his shoulder and closed his eyes.

Seokjin laughed heartily. "He knows you are soft for him"

Yoongi,"I'm not!hey! Get down before I give you an ass beating "

Jungkook snored loudly letting him know his answer.

Iseul was already asleep at that moment due to exhaustion. Seokjin looked at her from his side eye and looked at Yoongi who was trying to throw away the 'sleeping' boy.

"Shh,she is sleeping", Seokjin whispered so she won't wake up.

Yoongi immediately stopped. He looked at Iseul's sleeping face and decided not to cause any more noises. "...I will bring Jungkook to his Palace",He held Jungkook tightly by his thighs and walked away.

Taehyung looked back at Iseul. "He really cares for Iseul. Why is she even scared of him?"

Seokjin started walking with Taehyung. "Didn't I tell you the story? When they were young,Yoongi pushed Iseul away when she was trying to touch his dog. Apparently, Yoongi thought she was going to hurt his dog,so he pushed her. She fell down and got hurt"

Taehyung gasped like he couldn't believe it. "No way! She likes dogs!", he whispered yelled."How could brother Yoongi do something like that?!"

Seokjin,"I told you,they were young that time. Plus,Yoongi didn't have a good impression of Iseul because of what he heard from other people. People used to describe how lowly Iseul was because of her mother. So,Yoongi thought she was a nosy girl"

Taehyung, "It's true she is nosy but she is not a bad girl"

Seokjin nodded,"Yeah... I talked to Yoongi after that and told him that she meant no harm. But his ego was damn big and didn't apologise. So,she never approached him after that"

Taehyung, "Well,that was too cruel"

Seokjin, "Hey,you guys bullied her too when you were little. Did you apologise?"

Taehyung widened his eyes,"But we made it up to her! And now look at the picture, she is the one who bullies us!"

Seokjin, "The difference between you guys and Yoongi is that you guys could easily approach anyone but he is not like that. He is a born introvert. He can't do it easily. But as you guys,he doesn't hate her"

Taehyung nodded understanding what he meant. "But I hope brother Yoongi could show some affection to her. So,she will know his true side"

Seokjin smiled and didn't say anything. For some people,it is not that easy to show affection but it doesn't mean they don't care.

The two brothers took Iseul to her Palace.

.

Everyone was ready to leave for the hot springs with their horses. They were at the main gate but there were two Princes who were still missing.

"Why are they late?", Jimin complained.

"Look look! They are coming!",Jungkook pointed at the two Princes who were riding their horses towards them.

The Prince Hoseok and Prince Namjoon.

Prince Hoseok was flawless handsome man. He was the sunshine of the kingdom. Also people really loved him because of his generous nature and gave him the nickname 'hope'. Because of this strong relationship he had with his people,Queen once wanted to break his and Seokjin's relationship but it didn't work at the end of the day. Hoseok was a great threat to Seokjin's throne but the two brothers never saw each other as enemies. Hoseok never salivated over the throne and wasn't interested at all.

And the Prince Namjoon, the brain of the nation. He really worked hard for his people and made various equipments to make the daily works easy for the people. He also had the potentials to be a king but he wasn't the oldest of the family, so,he was just a candidate. He leaded Seokjin whenever he needed help and their chemistry was great. The duo always appeared together as Seokjin needed his help constantly.

"Brother!! You are late!", Iseul whined.

Namjoon and Hoseok looked at each other and again looked back at Iseul with a smile.

"Sorry,my lady. We met father on the way", Hoseok said.

Iseul puffed her cheeks in annoyance and looked away before pulling the rope of her horse. "Yah!let's go!", she ordered her horse and gave a pat to him and dashed away with her horse.

Namjoon laughed shaking his head. "Guess,she is angry with us?"

Jungkook stuck out his tongue, "Yes,she is. You guys were too busy to pay attention to us anyways"

Hoseok chuckled, "Little ones are angry,huh? Fine fine. It's our fault. We are sorry,kook. I'll make it up to you four. Alright?"

Jimin,"You better"

"Stop bickering already! Iseul had gone already.  Let's go!", Seokjin complained and rode his horse.

And like that,they all rode towards the woods.

Iseul looked back to see her brothers coming towards her and smiled. "Catch me if you can oldies!",her black horse was like the wind and the speed was incredible.

The competitive younger ones were provoked by Iseul's remark and chased after her.

After racing for a while,they reached the hot water springs inside the forests.
Iseul striped but kept her inner robes to cover herself.

The seven boys also kept their inner robes because of Iseul and closed their eyes until she jumped into the water. After making sure she had sit down inside the water spring,they opened their eyes and joined her.

Unfortunately,Yoongi was sitting next to Iseul and both of them avoided each other as always. Or maybe it was only Iseul who was avoiding and ignoring.

"Brother Seokjin, I heard that Chinese ambassadors had come to meet you and father recently. What happened?"

Seokjin, "Some demonic cultivators had escaped from their country and had come to our country. They are asking our help to capture them"

Iseul frowned, "Why can't they let them be. I don't understand why people are against the demonic cultivation"

Namjoon, "Be careful with your words,Iseul. Demonic cultivation is forbidden. You will be punished even if you said anything good about the demonic cultivation"

Iseul tried to argue back. "Why is it bad? I don't see why is it a problem. Look,do you think people are pure just because they didn't cultivate the crook path? No. Look at our prison,most of them are ordinary people. It doesn't matter if anyone cultivated that path or not"

Taehyung, "Shut your mouth. It isn't that simple as you say.  Demonic cultivation destroys our heart and it cannot be controlled and there is a high possibility that it back fires the user"

Iseul wanted to reply but Seokjin cut her off harshly. "Iseul,that's enough. You are not talking about it again"

Iseul huffed and dived into the water with closed eyes and stayed under the water.

Hoseok,"She is angry"

Yoongi pulled her out by her collar. "Don't be a brat"

Hoseok decided to continue their talk and turned to Seokjin. "So,what happened after that?"

Seokjin, "We sent a team for a search but we couldn't find anything. They said that those demonic cultivators are capable of turning themselves into animal forms. So,it would be really difficult to deal with them"

Jungkook, "Woah! They can do such things ?!"

Seokjin, "Only few can do such things. They are called the people of demon. Very rare and special in a way"

Iseul secretly thought that they are incredibly and really adored their specialty. From her point of view,it is a gift from the nature.

They continued their talk until a strange sound took their attention. They sensed a presence of someone.

A danger!
