Jungkook's head was a mess....the day he first met Taehyung was clear as day in his mind.... Every incident that happened in the span of one month and two weeks at the farm house was as if etched into his soul...he still remembers the moist orbs of the elder who hugged him telling how he would never forget his Jungkookie

Was all that about what I saw? Taehyung and me...d-did we really had such a past?

Who else knows? Joon hyung?

If we had something like that then...why would have Tae hid everything from me...

None of Jungkook's thoughts were answered...not even when he stood in front of the door... waiting for it to be opened...each passing second just adding to his misery

Finally the door opened and out came Mr Song 'Master Jungkook?'

Does he also know? Jungkook though ' Mr Song...Is someone home?'

' No' Mr Song shook his head ' Should I call someon-'

' No need' Jungkook denied ' I-'

And that's when it struck him... Jungkook did come all the way to Taehyung and Namjoon's farmhouse listening to Jimin's words...but how was he supposed to find the answers...

' Is there something you want to know?' Mr Song asked

Jungkook stared at him ' Something I want to know?'
There is just a single thing that had been on his mind... something that he so badly wanted to know.. He looked back at Mr Song.. thinking about how to say it all when Song walked back into the house... leaving Jungkook out only to return in a minute

' Keep this' Mr Song extended his hand...a long beautiful key in his hand 'This will answer all your questions'

' What-'

' It's the key to Taehyung's library outside the farmhouse'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

' When are you going to tell Jimin everything?'

Taehyung shrugged...as he continued icing the cake 'Am not sure Jin hyung'

' Why?' Jin's voice was heard through the phone's speaker ' I mean you both seemed so close...and you already told him about your past... atleast a major part of it so why not the whole thing?'

' I know hyung' Taehyung sighed leaning onto the counter ' But I don't know...I... don't trust him yet'

' Are you really talking about Jimin Tae?' Jin sounded surprised ' Because since you had told him about your past...I thought may be...you know..'

' That's the thing...hyung I can't understand why he trusted all my stories...he was never there...he never saw anything happening yet he oh so easily trusted the fact that Jungkook was my-' Taehyung stopped mid sentence

' Taehyung ah' Jin softly called ' You do what you feel is right...hyung is with you ok?'

' Thanks hyung' Taehyung smiled tenderly as he put on his air buds.. slipping his phone back into his pockets as he walked into the bakery ' Where are you right now?'

' Am out with Yoongi and Joon'

' Joon hyung?' Taehyung asked in a teasing tone

' It's not what you think'

' Yeah as if you both aren't dating'

' I don't find it necessary to answer your questions' Jin scoffed playfully ' Also...me and Yoongi were out shopping when we ran into Joon...so he tagged along and now they both are in some store fighting over a jacket..so I thought of calling you'

Taehyung laughed hearing that ' Lord..That sounds like something we used to witness at the palace'

' You bet' Jin chuckled 'What are you upto?'

' Oh am stuck here at the bakery.... handling the customers..which I absolutely hate' Taehyung groaned subtly so that no one hears him ' Jimin is out somewhere so I have to take care of it all'

' You don't know where Jimin is?' Jin asked

' No..why?'

' Oh'

' Hyung?' Taehyung frowned

' Tae...Jimin is at my place...with Kook'

' With Kook?' Taehyung's frown deepened ' Why?'

' He came to meet Yoongi... but we had to leave for buying groceries...so he decided to stay back since Kook was sleeping... and we promised to be back in an hour'

' Oh' Taehyung nodded ' He didn't tell me'

' Tae-'

' No no...I didn't mean it like that' Taehyung laughed 'I was thinking if he had told me then I would also have tagged along...'

' You can come visit anytime..you know that right'

' Ofcourse hyung' The chiming of the bell over the door of the Bakery caught Taehyung's attention..' Hyung... A customer is here...I have to go'

' Yeah sure...Take care Taetae'

Taehyung smiled at that ' You too hyung...' He ended the call and turned towards the customer with a wide smile which vanished the very instant he saw who it was

' Soobin?'

' Taehyung shi' Soobin smiled ' Why are you looking so surprised...I told you I'd come visit you frequently...'

' Yeah...I-' Taehyung swallowed..not knowing how to act properly

' Are you alright?' Soobin looked genuine worried

' Yeah I am' Stopping thinking too much Taehyung 'What would you like to have Soobin shi... It's on the house'

' Woah..now am ordering something special' Soobin laughed ' Anything would do Taehyung shi...I have a thing for pastries and am up for experiments'

' Then I'll give you something I just prepared...you can go sit' So saying Taehyung plated a slice of cake he made just some while ago ' I hope you'd like it'

Soobin thanked him before taking a bite of it...his eyes widening at the taste ' This is soo good!!'

Taehyung smiled widely ' That's great... Just call me if you need something... I'd be right behind the counter'

' Sure' Soobin said as Taehyung nodded and turned around ' Am glad that you still remember my preferences Tae.... thought you'd just remember the cursed prince of yours'

Taehyung spun around...his eyes wide and face pale..not quite understanding if he really did hear that right or if it was his mind playing games again'What?'

Soobin bit off another bite of the cake as he shrugged
' Thought it'd be only you and your cute little family who would be back? No Kim Taehyung.....you are wrong there'

Taehyung could hear his heart pounding in his chest.. every single of his fears now facing him eye to eye..his insides shaking at the dread surging through his body 'What do you want?'

' The answer has always been the same' Soobin looked up... his eyes dark with hatred

' The cursed prince of Astraxus....Jeon Jungkook'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

Jungkook stood in front of the huge door...the last time he came here was to somehow get his Taehyung out of there so they can atleast talk... He remembers Mr Song telling him how Taehyung has a Library where he allows no one...

Guilt crawled up his heart...a small voice somewhere in his mind calling out to him how wrong it is to go in there without Taehyung's permission...but another loud and powerful voice made him turn a deaf ear to his rational mind... making him open the door and step in... closing it behind him

Jungkook turned around only to gasp at the sight in front of him... It did look like a library in a single glance....a grand and majestic library just like the one he saw in his dream.... Everything was just the same..the arrangement of the shelves..the burning torches which Jungkook had no idea how were still burning considered the fact that no one else Taehyung was allowed in here...the table and the chair....and a book on the table.... It looked like a carbon copy of his dream until his eyes fell on something at the corner of the room that was covered in white sheets

Jungkook walked towards the table picking up the book which looked centuries old...but what caught his attention was the big bold letters carved into the cover of the book....

My Smeraldo

' Is this the story..Tae was referring to?' Jungkook thought to himself...

He opened the book... turning the pages... frowning to himself when he saw the writing 'Was this some one's personal diary?'

He brushed off the thoughts deciding to read it

To my poor pathetically beautiful self

I absolutely hate this Kingdom!!! Who do they think they are... absolute assholes!!

' Wow' Jungkook laughed ' What is this'

He chose to not read the rest and started turning the pages to almost the middle of the book...his frown back to his face when he saw the way the entry was addressed being changed

To my smeraldo

You might be an absolute idiot who annoys the living hell out of me....but I love you with my whole heart

Your
Taehyung

' Taehyung?' Jungkook blinked... utterly confused as he turned the page

My dearest Smeraldo

Today I'll confess my love to you....
I wish you also loved me back
But even if you love me.... our love will just be forbidden

Forbidden love hurts...but unrequited love which is forbidden..it hurts the most Jungkookie

Your
Taehyung

Jungkook lifted his head.. his mind blank as he kept the book on the table..

So my dreams were our reality? Jungkook's thoughts stopped when his eyes fell on the contents at the corner of the room. He sighed walking closer...lifting his hands pulling the sheets down only to stumble back in shock...his eyes wide and lips parted...for in front of him laid big canvases...with portraits of him..or rather the portraits of the Prince he saw in his dream..with pure white hair and gleaming green orbs....

(Green eyes)

Every single painting was a treat to the viewers eyes...but Jungkook was in not state to enjoy it... The more he looked through each of them.. through each of his own paintings done by someone...the more cloudy his mind got...

An unknown sense of melancholy washed over him...his heart clenching in pain as he moved towards the last portrait.. which looked as if it wasn't touched for years...He grabbed the dusty sheet pulling it down...

A single tear rolled down his cheeks...a silent sob slipping past his lips as he eyed the portrait... With trembling fingers he trailed the outline of the image....his thumb tracing the patterns of the crown..but his eyes were stuck on the face of the person who wore it...the powerful yet loving gaze piercing through his soul and the soft smile on those cherry lips which still make him go weak

( Blue Hair)

Tae He breathed out...his fingers brushing over the said boy's face when he noticed the writing on the bottom right corner of the portrait... Jungkook leaned closer to get a better look at it...as he read it

Those eyes of yours
With which you made me burn for you
Those lips of yours
With which you made me yearn for you
That face of yours
With which you made me fall for you
That love of yours
With which you healed me
And that heart of yours
With which you made me love myself
Our fate is written in the stars of Astraxus my darling
You came as the cure to my pain
You came as the answer to my Hereath

And I promise
To wait for you
In every life
Just like how the
Shore waits for the waves
No matter how forbidden
Our love will be
In any of the lives to come
I'll happily destroy the whole world
just to keep you safe
my Estel

Jungkook stepped back as if he touched fire...his head throbbing as a sudden memory filled his mind... He held on to his head.... groaning in pain... doubling over as he stumbled back into a row of book... pushing all that down...

Jungkook leaned back drawing in deep breaths.. trying to block out every voice in his head.... After what felt like an eternity Jungkook opened his eyes... pushing himself away from the shelf and towards the table... seating himself down on the chair..his face blank and eyes drowned in an ocean of pain

' Estel...' Jungkook mumbled...his heart clenching... He extended his hand... picking the book up again.... His fingers tracing the writing....

' My Estel...' His voice broke as he held the book close to his chest... leaning back closing his eyes...a stray tear rolling down his cheeks ' I failed to keep my promise my love...your prince failed'
