"Young master, it's time to report back to your father." Jimin's shadow guard whispered.

Jimin leaned away from the wall of Y/n's room and started to walk away, only to bump into someone.

Black clothes with fine golden silk greets his eyes. His guard immediately bowed while Jimin didn't budge.

"Long time no see, Jeon." Jimin grinned.

"I hope you enjoyed the times you were apart from Y/n." Jungkook retaliated, causing the other one's smile to stiffen.

Those years were Jimin's torturous years. He didn't had someone to tease and torment as Y/n wasn't beside him. He also wasn't at ease as he was afraid that Jungkook won't protect her properly.

The day he found out that Jungkook married her was like a nightmare. A nightmare he wished to end soon. He doesn't want to accept that this nightmare was his reality.

That was the reason why he had Jihyun in his life. He saved himself for Y/n for all these years. Never touched any woman nor even took an interest to anyone. Male or female. He would avoid alcohol so he won't be taken advantage of any female. He also never went to any brothel to ease his lust whenever he was reminded by her. It was hard for him especially that he just hit his puberty, wherein his hormones are unbalanced.

When a messenger informed him of his bestfriend's marriage, he finally snapped. All those restraints disappeared like bubbles. His promises were forgotten.

He indulged himself in tons of alcohol and went in a brothel where he met Jihyun. He used her as a tool to distract him from reality in which Jihyun was more than willing to do so.

He intended for their interaction to be a one time thing but Jihyun kept clinging on him so he let her. He pleased her as she likes but never involved any romantic feelings as it was all preserved for her. Y/n only.

He came onto a conclusion that her fate might be married to Jungkook but never end up with him in the end as he plan on taking her away. His life will be risked but life isn't fun without almost dying, right?

It would be a hard thing but trying is better than doing nothing.

"It was wonderful. I get to taste different women." Jimin answered with the same smile.

It surprised the emperor for a moment but he managed to compose himself.

"Good for you then. I will also don't have to worry about someone taking a fancy to my wife." Jungkook answered with an emphasis on the last two words.

"You never know, your majesty." Jimin said calmly.

It made Jungkook a little bit irritated but he didn't show it.

"If it weren't for you being her best friend, I would have get you executed already." Jungkook said with gritted teeth. "I don't want to see you stepping inside the palace, Park. This is an order." with that, the emperor started walking towards the door of Y/n's room.

"Too bad, your majesty. I am gonna start working here in the palace tomorrow." Jimin stated, causing the other one to halt from his steps.

Jungkook snorts and nearly laughed, "And I said that I don't want seeing you here. It's not like you can disobey my words, Jimin. I'm the emperor."

"It was an imperial edict by your father, your majesty. It's not like you can go against the words of the former emperor."

Taehyung walked with a pissed expression. That man earlier just successfully ruined his day. It's noon already and his stomach is grumbling from the lack of food. It's not that he doesn't have money, the scene earlier just made him lose appetite even though his bodily functions said otherwise.

Not wanting to lose strength by not eating, Taehyung went to find an eatery to ease his hunger.

"AH!" a feminine scream suddenly distracted Taehyung.

As a lover of gossips, Taehyung immediately went where the sound came from and sneaked to see what's happening.

He found a safe spot where he could hide and watch the scenario without someone seeing him. Whether be it murder or what, he's still excited somewhat to see what's happening.

Two girls seems to be fighting, Ah-no. The one who looks older is beating while the other one tries to protect herself.

There were no other people around this area, so it was basically three of them. Seeing the other one send harsh kick and slaps towards the other female, Taehyung suddenly hesitated.

'Do I help or what?'

It wasn't his business after all.

Not wanting to interrupt in the middle of the fight without information, Taehyung listened to the words of the older one.

"If you were just born male then the emperor wouldn't have let us live in this state!" the older one's rage filled voice rang out.

'Wait, what?'

"M-mom stop!" the one who was being beaten wailed out.

"It was your fault why I am still living in such a poor state! You're really nothing but a slut!" the mother shouts.

Hearing that the mom was accusing her daughter of something she can't control. Taehyung almost immediately walked out of his hiding spot and save the younger one until he saw the daughter's face.

The familiar face suddenly made him reminisce his family dying. That girl who watched them suffer while she smiles and cling to that noble.

Jimin's lover, Nam fucking Jihyun, of all people.

Just like that, Taehyung felt that his day was ruined twice.

Jihyun saw Taehyung and mouthed a 'help' through her suffering, but Taehyung just took a step back and walked away.

She was the reason why he's suffering, why his family is gone now, why he's casted out and called a bad luck.

Taehyung heard her shrill screams as he walked away and continued to find an eatery.

As if nothing happened.

The time where Y/n didn't meet Jimin yet

"Try calling me noona." Y/n grumbled to the prince who sat on the grass and was leaning on a tree.

She knew that he was a prince but she could care less. All she wants is a play mate and now that she found one, she'll try to not let him go.

"No." a childish yet cold voice retaliated.

"Why not?" Y/n whined. "I am your noona now."

"You're noisy."

"Whyyyy~ You're my little brother and play mate now so call me noona."

"Who said that I want to be your little brother." the little prince huffed and crossed his arms.

"Then don't." Y/n humped and stood up to walk away.

Just when a few steps were taken, a chubby hand was suddenly grasping hers.

Y/n looked at the hand that was engulfing hers and frowned.

"Why are you touching my hand? We're not friends anymore." the little girl huffed and snatched her hand away.

With that, the little girl walked away without even looking back at him.

Suddenly, for the first time. The little prince felt a pang in his heart. It was a weird sensation and he definitely doesn't like it.

Glancing at the little girls retreating back, little Jungkook didn't know what to do.

"Hmmp. At least the noisy is gone." Jungkook muttered to himself but frowned his brows. "I bet she'll come back. She always do." he said and tried easing his self.

Despite trying to convince himself that Y/n wouldn't be angry for a long time, Jungkook still had that irritating feeling in his heart.

"She'll come back. She'll come back." Jungkook repeatedly muttered.

Days have passed and their spot in the garden were always empty. It made the little prince panick. At the first few days, he hadn't really thought much of it, thinking that she's still trying to not be angry, until a week had passed.

"Father please." the little prince wailed.

The empress and emperor looked at each other. It amazed them that after countless years, their son finally had a change of emotion.

The last time they saw him cry like this is when he was still a baby.

Now they're curious at the person who caused this to Jungkook (In a good way).

"Father I-I'll do better on my trainings! Just help me find her." Jungkook bowed against his father.

He didn't really know where Y/n lived and that was a thing that he regrets.

"Stand up, child." his father's deep voice called out to him. "This maiden must've been so special to you for you to react this way." the emperor chuckled.

Thinking that his father meant it in a bad way, Jungkook went back on bowing.

"Please don't make her stay away from me!" he panicked.

Rather than hearing a pissed voice, Jungkook was surprised that his father and mother were laughing.

"Jungkook sweetie, your father didn't meant it in a bad way." his mother cooed and made him come to her. Being an obedient son, he immediately went to his mother.

"If you like her this much, we won't take her away from you. In fact, she can be yours if you want." the emperor declared.

"Dohyun!" Eunsoo scolded her husband.

"What?" the emperor gently asked his wife.

"You can't just make him own a person. He's just a child." Empress Eunsoo reminded.

"He's our only child. It's not a bad thing to spoil him to no end." Emperor Dohyun chuckled while ruffling his son's hair.

"C-can I really make her mine with your help?" Jungkook sniffed and looked at his father with hope.

"Of course Kookie. She can be also your wife if you want to. Just tell me in the future once you're a teen."

"Why not now?"

"You're still a child Kookie. You still can't distinguish between real love and puppy love." his father explained.

"You don't know that." their son mumbles.

With that, his imperial parents booming laugh was heard again.

Before the day ends, Y/n suddenly found herself standing stiffly in front of the emperor and empress. With Jungkook clinging and sobbing on her waist saying, "Don't leave me again." over and over.
