The streets of Astraxus was filled with excitement and grandeur as they prepared for the royal wedding and coronation of their dear Crown Prince Kim Namjoon

The streets were decorated with colorful banners and intricate decorations...while tall arches with flowers adorned the path towards the palace...While light snowfall added to the evening glow of the Kingdom...

The palace was draped in luxurious fabrics...the halls filled with the sweet scents of flowers and the sound of music and laughter

As they neared the sun set the palace and the gardens came alive with a symphony of colors and laughter and in the middle of all the joyous moments ached two innocent souls that yearned for each other

' You look so breathtaking' Jin breathed out..his eyes meeting Namjoon's dark ones through the mirror as he clipped the cape ' Can't wait to see you in the royal crown now'

' Jin' Namjoon stood up turning around...his tired eyes getting moist as he cupped his guard's cheeks ' My Izel..my life'

' Not now Namjoon ah' Jin stepped back ' Please not now-'

The knocks on the door broke their delicate bubble making Jin rush towards the door and open it while Namjoon took in a deep breath composing himself turning towards the door only to frown at the new visitant

' Princess Sung Kyung'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

' All set right' Hobi asked looking at Jungkook who nodded slowly

' Jungkook ah..just take a look at the map of the palace again' Yoongi said spreading the paper over the table again ' Just incase if we have to split up you have to find your way out safely'

' I really remember every part of the palace hyung' Jungkook said weakly ' It was my home once'

' Hey Kook' Taehyung hugged him sensing his sadness ' You are going to meet your eomma after these many years... Don't think of anything else...Just go bring her here and then we will go hang our cranes and you also have to show me your painting'

' Have patience my spoiled prince' Jungkook pecked his forehead ' I will be back even before you know'

' You should leave now' Hobi spoke up..

' Yeah... right' Yoongi agreed ' Take care Tae'..

' You too hyung' Taehyung said.. staring at the elder before walking up to him and wrapping his arms around him ' You still didn't bring me my strawberries'

' Your sweet strawberries will be here before you both leave' Yoongi smiled ' It's hyung's promise'

Taehyung giggled pulling back ' I'll be waiting then'

' You should'

Taehyung looked at his husband...the very familiar knot forming in his throat as he moved closer to him 'Take care my Smeraldo...' He breathed out..his voice just above a mere whisper...his dark grey orbs drowning in his tears 'I'll be waiting for you to come back to me'

' I'll be back soon my Estel' Jungkook said caressing his cheeks..his thumb wiping off the tears' I'll soon be back in your arms'

' I love you Koo' Taehyung's voice broke ' I love you so much'

' I love you hyung'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

' Princess Sung Kyung' Jin bowed respectfully ' You shouldn't be here...if anyone sees you here it will a huge problem-'

'Is Namjoon ready?' Sungkyung asked ignoring whatever Jin was telling

' The Prince is almost ready...' Jin trailed off

' What is it Princess' Namjoon came forward ' Jin hyung let her in '

Jin moved aside letting the princess get inside

' Is something wrong?' Namjoon asked seeing the blank face of the girl

' I need to talk to you' She said..her voice laced with a deep layer of authority

' I'll let you two be alone-'

' Oppa stay' Sung Kyung turned towards Jin 'I hope it's ok to call you that since you will soon be my guard too'

' It's totally fine Princess' Jin gave a light smile ignoring the pang in his heart

' For how long will it be fine?'  The princess asked

' What?' Jin blinked confused

' How long will be it fine until you completely break? I mean I should be prepared to see your misery since I'll be contributing a lot to that'

' What are you going on about princess?' Namjoon snapped

' Don't play dumb now my Prince' Sung Kyung smiled softly ' It's clear as crystal what he means to you.... Your love...it shines in your eyes Namjoon...I saw it the day I first met you.... I have seen how soft your gaze grows when Jin oppa is near..how relaxed you are..how so in love you are'

' Princess I-'

' Don't lie to me anymore' Sungkyung stopped him ' It might be hard to trust me...I know... but you can share with me whatever it is...why you both were hiding it... Is it because the king is against such things?'

' I think you have misunderstood us ' Jin said refusing to accept any of what she said ' I-'

' I will help you both get away from Astraxus and the King'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

' You were absolutely heavenly yesterday night Tae' Hobi said eyeing the younger who was sitting on the bed ' I have never seen a moon dancer as beautiful as you'

Taehyung giggled 'You are talking as if you have seen many of them'

' What if I have' Hobi wiggled his brows...a smug smile on his face which made Taehyung laugh more as the chamber slowly fell into a comfortable silence before Hobi decided to drop the bomb

' I proposed Yoongi yesterday'

Taehyung's froze..his head whipping towards Hobi who was arranging Taehyung's clothes into a bundle

' And then' Taehyung got down the bed.. moving closer to Hobi... He knew of the elder's feelings towards Yoongi..he knew how fucked up that was considering the fact that Yoongi was already in love with the Vampire prince 'What did he say'

' That am too late'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

' How dare he!' Jongwook slammed his fist over the table.. his eyes burning with rage

' Already warned you ' The man said leaning back nonchalantly on his chair ' Kim Namjoon might be your son but his mind was never your's to control Jongwook'

' Don't irk me more'

' Your son has planned the whole escape of the sorcerer prince and you are here getting annoyed by a mere being like me?' He scoffed ' Jeon Jungkook and his dear husband is all set to enter Astrella and here you are in a festive mood celebrating the wedding of your dear son who is in love with his guard'

' You should think before talking all this non sense'

' Oh Jongwook ah....your son turned out to be a faggot' He laughed ' Jungkook turned out to be the same...and the most wisest of Astraxus Min Yoongi tooo...poor man is in love with a vampire.. thinking he will receive a fairytale love story! How much more stupid can you all be...'

' I won't let Jungkook cross the borders' Jongwook declared 'I will kill him! I will kill them all!'

' Guess it's too late...'

' Huh?'

' Jungkook and Yoongi already left for the palace your Highness...' He stood up..his mocking gaze never leaving Jongwook ' You should step out of here and get your son married...its time'

' The wedding can wait-'

' It can't!' Jongwook was harshly stopped ' It can't wait...I need Jungkook to surrender on his own'

' And how will you do?' Jongwook barked back ' It's better to just kill him off'

' No...If you want Jungkook on his knees..then you should have Taehyung at sword point'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

' You should have told me this before itself ' Sungkyung said after listening to the whole story ' We could have worked together'

' I am sorry for ruining your life princess' Namjoon apologized ' You can walk away from the wedding any time... just wait until the kids reach safety'

' Prince Namjoon...you don't have to apologize' Sungkyung sighed ' I have seen my parents living a loveless life...I don't want to live like them..nor do I want to separate two people who love each other this much'

' Thankyou so much for understanding us' Jin bowed...

' It's totally fine oppa' Sungkyung forced out a smile

' Is it really fine?' Namjoon asked seeing the way Sungkyung was staring at them

' It is...' Sungkyung said hesitantly ' There is something I need to tell you Namjoo-'

' Princess'

The door banged opened revealing a the royal guard who arrived with Sungkyung

' What is it Song shi?' Sungkyung asked alarmed

' We have been betrayed'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

Yoongi and Jungkook were walking towards the palace... a thnk layer of silence surrounding them

' What's in your mind Kook' Yoongi asked not being able to bear with the silence anymore

' A lot...' Jungkook said ' Am...scared?'

' Scared?'

' Ever since I got my Tae...I never left his side for this long..I know vampire hyung also promised to help us but leaving his side for this long..is new' Jungkook paused ' Even when Namjoon hyung asked us to be away from each other...I was there... just outside his door... listening to his frustrated cursing and long sighs and-' Jungkook shook his head 'I can't do this hyung...we barely reached mid way and am already like this...Hyung I-I can't even seem to breath without him beside me'

' Jungkook ah' Yoongi called....but went silent not knowing what to say next

' But at the same time am excited to see eomma' Jungkook continued as they walked further... ' She must have been waiting for me all this while right?.. She will recognize me.. right?'

' Of course she will' Yoongi nodded encouragingly 'Your face hasn't changed a bit... and that mischievous smile.. that's enough for anyone to recognize you'

' But my eyes.. they aren't green anymore' Jungkook looked at his hyung

' Which is a good thing actually' Yoongi was quick to say ' You could not have even set your foot out of that castle if you hadn't had these beautiful black eyes'

' True' Jungkook's chuckle died down when a dove soared down landing on his shoulder..

' Heyy come here' Jungkook smiled but even before he could touch it..it flew up... flying around Jungkook...as if urging him to follow it ' This is vampire hyung's dove'

Yoongi watched as Jungkook's smile fell..his eyes zeroing on to a dark patch of red on the bird's white feather ' What's th-Jungkook it's leg'

And that's when he noticed a small note on its leg..which quickly pulled out...his face going pale as he read it

' We need to get back to Tae'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

' Betrayed?' Sungkyung asked shocked ' What are you talking about Song shi?'

' King Jongwook knew all this...all about the plan' The guard..Song rambled ' He knew about Jungkook coming here....he is on his way to get him'

' Get him?' Namjoon's eyes widened 'What are you talking about?'

' Am not the Princess of Raynark' Sungkyung revealed 'I was sent by the Vampire prince of Astrella so that I could take you all with me after the wedding but our plans are failing Namjoon.... someone betrayed us'

' We need to get to the castle before Jongwook doe-'

' Taehyung' Jin mumbled 'I need to save my brother'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

' Hobi hyung?' Taehyung walked around trying to find his hyung who had been missing for a very long time now ' Where did he go? Hyung' He called out again

' Where did he even go now' Taehyung wondered walking into the garden when

' Taehyung shi'

Taehyung turned around..a small frown forming on his face at the sight of the uninvited guest

' Minhyuk shi?' Taehyung tried to atleast smile 'What brought you here?'

' I need your help in something' Minhyuk took a step closer

' My help? How can I be of any help?' Taehyung's frown deepened Hobi hyung where are you?

' I know who you are' Minhyuk said..his lips stretching into a smirk

' Minhyu-'

' Jungkook's Moon dancer'

Taehyung's heart dropped to his stomach...his hands moving to where his dagger is kept only to have his breath hitch where is my dagger His eyes widening when he remembered I left it at the night court

' Taehyung..I won't tell this to anyone' Minhyuk said seeing the way Taehyung was rooted to his place..scared 'I promise'

' Why would you hide something like this' Taehyung asked..his voice confident I need to get my dagger
' What do you need in return'

' The healers of Astrella-'

' Don't start with that shit again Minhyuk' Taehyung spat 'Get out before I loose my cool'

' You know Taehyung' Minhyuk ignored the warning as he continued ' I have seen many women and men...both humans and vampires..but none caught my eye like you did...I knew you were special the very first time I saw you here...but didn't expect you to fall for that cursed Prince'

'He.Is.Not.Cursed' Taehyung felt anger surging through him ' Am warning you Minhyuk..dare speak like that of my husband and you will-'

' I want you Taehyung' Minhyuk cut him off... 'Be mine and I will keep all this a secret...'

' Stay away' Taehyung was clearly getting scared as Minhyuk started getting closer ' Hobi hyung!'

' Don't even try..he isn't coming Taehyung..how do you think I knew about you' Minhyuk laughed 'I will keep you like a prince Taehyung...you just have to perform for me..be a good little moon dancer who can satisfy me-'

' Fuck off!' Taehyung yelled swinging the metal rod he caught hold without Minhyuk at his head sending the male staggering back... He took this as an opportunity to rush back towards the night court looking around for his dagger which he finally found

' Taehyung!'

Taehyung's eyes filled with tears as he stepped away from the door knowing well that Minhyuk had seen him coming in here

Minhyuk's rushed footsteps came more closer...as Taehyung frantically looked around searching for a place to hide when a sudden memory hit him

It is the only place which is so visible yet so hidden in this whole castle... But he already found it

' I need to hide' Taehyung nodded to himself Yoongi's words now ringing in his head when you feel danger lurking around don't let your heart take over your mind... Think with your head and not your heart

I can't risk getting caught by him now..not until hyungs and Koo comes back Taehyung thought as he looked around... rushing towards the other side... searching for any door..any kind of exit that he might have missed You will get enough time and way to sneak out or hide yourself before anyone actually gets to you He remembered Jungkook saying it

And that's when his noticed a small door on the wall behind a pillar which is well hidden... Taehyung rushed forward praying to the moon goddess with all his might for the door to be unlocked...a relived sigh leaving him when the door opened easily. He quickly stepped in... realizing that its just a small closet..but he didn't had much time as he already heard Minhyuk's voice getting closer

Save me moon goddess He closed the door.... darkness engulfing him completely...

' Taehyung ah' Minhyuk turned around looking at the empty night court.. his eyes searching the whole chamber like a hawk gawking for a prey ' Stop hiding'

' Hobi hyung where are you!' Taehyung felt like crying..he pressed closer to the wall behind him..his arms and legs shaking in fear ' You really didn't leave me..did you?'

' I'll take you somewhere far away where moon dancers won't be harmed...' Minhyuk said loudly ' We can be a happy family Tae....I will love you more than Jungkook'

' No one can take my Jungkook's place ever!' Taehyung wanted to yell it out on Minhyuk's face but he just closed his eyes... trying not to make even a single noise

' So you won't listen to me huh!' Taehyung could feel the change in Minhyuk's voice to something extremely baleful ' Guess I should just stick to my plan'

Taehyung frowned Plan? What plan? But his heart stopped when he heard more rushed footsteps indicating the arrival of many more people...

' I know Taehyung' Minhyuk continued ' That your dear Jungkookie has gone in search of his eomma...but guess what? We already knew about it all...'

How Taehyung whispered

' You have been such an idiot all along' Minhyuk chuckled ' You still are...other wise who else will deny an offer like the one I gave you? But it's fine Tae... I'll give one more chance since it's you'

Oh goddess... help me please...Send any of the hyungs here...I can't fight them alone...you know I wasn't trained completely to be a guard.. pleas- Taehyung's desperate prayers came to halt when he heard Minhyuk's cruel words

' Jongwook has decided to kill your Jungkook...if you want to save him show me yourself'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

'We need to get back to Tae'

' What?' Yoongi stilled when Jungkook showed him the note

Jungkook ah...get Tae and leave...it was a trap

' Vampire hyung' Jungkook turning around already starting to rush back to the castle ' Something's really wrong'

Jungkook and Yoongi ran back and almost reached the castle gates only to stop on their tracks...their eyes widening slightly at sight of the man who was the root cause of all the pain

' Jongwook!'

'Finally I got you Jeon' Jongwook's eyes glowed with wickedness 'Going to meet your Moon dancer?

' Don't fuck with me Jongwook'

' Stay put Min Yoongi' Jongwook growled when he saw Yoongi's hands wrapping around his sword ' One wrong move and I assure Jeon that you'd never meet your husband ever again'

Jungkook's blood ran cold at that ' You know?'

' Of course I do' Jongwook smirked ' You thought you could fool me with your little troupe?'

Jungkook eyed Yoongi... motioning with his eyes for the elder to sneek in to the castle and look out for Taehyung while he'd distracted the cruel King

' Don't think so high of you Jongwook' Jungkook retorted as Yoongi silently managed to take a step away from them without Jongwook noticing

' You are proving it again and again that you really are Jeon Jaehoon's son' Jongwook laughed wickedly not noticing how Yoongi was increasing the distance between them ' You trust everyone so easily only to end up dead'

Jungkook blinked his eyes twice asking Yoongi to not stop at whatever nonsense Jongwook was spewing

' Jongw-'

' What are you still doing here Jungkook?' Jongwook's smirk widened with each word ' Weren't you supposed to go save your dead mother?'
