Jin dragged his brother, hugging him like a koala. Namjoon smiled, seeing Jin smile. He wanted to give the brothers some alone time, so he went to his room. Jungkook watched him curiously.

"Who is he, Hyong? Why do you live with him here?" He asked, holding his Hyung.

"Oh, he is Namjoon, my friend. He let me stay with him as I didn't know anyone here and had nowhere to go... But first, tell me Kookie, how did you come here? How did you know I am here?" Jin asked.

"That day, I knew you didn't want to be the crown prince. You didn't want to attend the party too. I saw you going out to the garden. I thought it was good for you to get some fresh air. So I didn't bother you. You didn't come back after hours. Then I got worried about you. Mother also asking for you. So I searched for you in the garden. But I couldn't find you. One of our gardeners saw you going through a door in the wall. But, when I went to the spot, there was no door. I felt like crying, Hyung. I could not tell the fact to anyone. I started to search everywhere in the town who knew about a door like that. Father thought that you ran away from your responsibilities..." Jungkook paused and lowered his head. Jin felt sorry.

"I am sorry, Kookie. Believe me, I did not run away. I was just curious about that door and the light coming from the other side. I went through the door and ended up here, in Namjoons room. He is kind enough to allow me to stay here. But, Kookie, tell me what happened after that."

"Yes, Hyung. Then I met an old man in a traditional medicine shop. He told me that the door is always there in our house from the old time. It opens after a certain time gap. He said that it opened that day especially for you, Hyung. I gave him some money and he gave me a lot of information about the portal. I found out about the mirror. But Hyung, that man told me that the portal would not open then. I felt lost, Hyung! He felt my pain and told me that there was another portal in Omelas (A neighbor country)."

Jin stopped him and asked, "You didn't go to Omelas, right?" He knew that their country doesn't have a good relationship with Omelas. Jungkook just lowered his head. Jin sensed it, "You did?! You went to Omelas for me?" Jungkook just nodded. Fear ran down Jin's spine.

Jungkook continued, "Hyung, I had no choice. I could not lose you." Jin hugged him again, "Aigoo, my Kookie. But they could harm you, Kookie." He cooed.

"I almost got caught there. But I managed to go through the portal with the help of the old man. But I don't know what happened to him after that. There were so many guards, chasing us. The man used some spell to open the portal, and I didn't waste any time."

"Kookie, I am feeling guilty. You faced so much because of me. I'm sorry."

"Don't be Hyung. You didn't do anything."

"Okay, Kookie. Then?"

"Then, I found the store where the mirror should be. But the owner didn't know anything about you. So he called Namjoon Hyung, and he brought me here. Hyung, I missed you so much."

"I missed you too, Kookie. Okay, now take some rest. Did you eat anything?"

"No Hyung! I was so desperate to find you that I didn't want to waste my time eating."

"OwO, Kookie... You're such a softie. Love you so much. Okay, wait here. I'm bringing something for you." Jin went inside the kitchen.

Jungkook was scanning the living room when Namjoon came out of his room. Namjoon tried to make some conversation, "hello, Jungkook, right?"

Jungkook stood up from the couch, "Yes, Hyung. I'm Jungkook."

"Don't be so formal, boy. Your Hyung and I are close friends. So treat me like your brother. Sit down."

Jungkook smiled and sat near him. Jin came back with some banana milk and cookies.

"Banana milk?! For whom?" Namjoon asked.

"Joonie, my Kookie loves banana milk the most. He didn't eat anything the whole day. I'm feeling so sad." Jin pouted. Namjoon smiled deeply. He liked Jin's pout a lot.

Jungkook saw Namjoon's smile for his Hyung and frowned. No-one noticed that. Jin sat too close to him and hugged him from the side. He held a cookie near his brother's lips, "eat it, Kookie." He said with puppy eyes.

"Hyung, I'm not a kid anymore. I can eat myself." He felt embarrassed when Namjoon laughed.

"You two are so cute together, Jin. Now I can watch a Kookie eating a cookie." He laughed out loud.

"Yaaa, Joonie. You can't call him Kookie. It's only for me." Jin again pouted and Namjoon couldn't stop him from squeezing Jin's cheeks. Jin blushed hard with his ears turning bright red.

Jungkook could tell something was going on between them. But he chose not to ask his Hyung about this for now. He just wanted to bring his Hyung back home.

Jin went inside the kitchen to prepare dinner. Jungkook followed him there. Namjoon started reading one of his books.

After dinner, Namjoon offered to do the dishes but Jin refused as he was afraid that Namjoon could break some of them.

"You two are very close, I see!" Jungkook said while whipping the clean dishes.

"Yes, we are! Joonie is a very nice person. If he was not with me, I don't know what could have happened to me back then, Kookie. I'll not able to pay back his kindness ever." Jin smiled sweetly.

"But, Hyung..." Jungkook couldn't complete the sentence as Jin interrupted, "No buts, Kookie. Let's just rest for now. Tomorrow I have work."

"You work here?!" Kook was surprised that his Hyung, who belongs to a royal family, worked somewhere in an unknown country. But he was impressed as well. His Hyung was always his role model.

"Where do you work, Hyung?"

"In a restaurant nearby. I'll take you there tomorrow." Jin smiled and patted Kook's head. "I forgot to tell you about Hoseok and Yoongi. They are my friends as well. We are very close." Jin showed a picture of them together on his mobile.

"Hyung, you have a phone?!"

"Yes, Joonie gifted it. Do you want it? Then, you can use it. But we can't call home with it. I tried so many times... But it's no use..." Jin's voice cracked a bit.

"Hyung, you missed us so much, I know. Let's go back home soon. Okay?" Jin nodded.

"Do you know how can we return home?" Jin asked his brother.

"The old man said that there is a key to the mirror door somewhere. We have to find it. He didn't tell me more than that."

"We can discuss it with Joonie. He is good at history and other stuff like that. He has been finding ways to help me. Maybe we can find it together. He can't do it alone. He has his things to do. I don't want to pressure him."

"Okay, Hyung. We'll return as soon as possible. Mother is dying to see you. She is not in a good condition. But..."

"But what, Kookie?"

Jungkook lowered his head, "Father is very angry with you. I'm afraid that he will do something bad to you."

"Don't worry. He is our father after all. He will never do anything wrong to me." Jin assured him with a smile.

"You don't know anything, Hyung." Jungkook wanted to tell his brother, but he stopped himself.

Then they entered Namjoon's room as Namjoon suggested the brothers stay there. He himself planned to sleep in the living room.

Namjoon heard Jin and Jungkook's conversation. He felt sad. He didn't expect Jin's return to his home so soon. He was about to confess his feelings to Jin. But... He felt helpless. He loved Jin but he wanted Jin to be happy. And Jin's happiness was his family. Namjoon didn't know what to do. He called Hoseok, "hello, Hoseokie? I think I'm about to lose my love. I'm so unfortunate to fall in love with someone who doesn't belong to me. What should I do, Hoseokie?" Tears rolled down his cheeks.
