Amelia narrated everything from the start to jin. "Hm so what do you want from me?" Jin asked with his arms folded. Amelia looked at him with 'like seriously' look. "What?" He looked at her with confusion. "They are your people and you don't know your self what they are suffering from? You should help them, at least discuss it with your father"

"Why don't you do it yourself?" Amelia raised her eye brows, "if I could then I would have done that already" Jin smiled and turned to go but she held him back, "but I can't cuz I am here as your fiance, and I don't think it's right for me to talk it to the king directly that's why I came to you and if you aren't willing to help then your other brothers are also in the list"

"fine fine I will help"

They both went to the same village. "Your highness I am really glad you came back" Hyeri thanked and bowed. "It's alright" Jin looked around. "What happened here?" He asked the girl. "Your highness, our village is suffering from an unknown virus since many months.. We don't know the solution and we have been trying to reach for help but no one is ready to help us in fear that they will also get infected" She said looking down.

"You said this virus spread due to a man who went to another kingdom? So can you tell which kingdom he went to?" Jin asked the girl. "He always goes to Euphoria and Beautiful Myth kingdoms.. But there is a forest which comes in between to reach the kingdoms" Both Amelia and Jin widened their eyes.

"My kingdom has this kind of virus, I didn't knew about it" Jin looked at her with annoyed look. "I guess this is the same forest where you were kidnapped and the same forest where my brother got lost"

"You mean your mythical demons?" Amelia asked with amusement. "They aren't mythical for your kind information" Jin replied sarcastically. "How exactly do you know that they aren't mythical?" She asked with her hands on her waist. "Because of my bracel-" But she interrupted him, "yeah your bracelet which you and your brothers have been wearing bla bla bla.. I don't wanna hear your bracelet story again" She replied.

"Yah you-" They both heard a chuckle and turned towards the girl. They both looked at each other and then at the girl who was laughing at them. "Can I ask what is so funny that you can't stop laughing?" Amelia asked sarcastically. "You both are bickering like husband and wife" She replied laughing. They both widened their eyes.

"WHATTT"

"Why do I have a babysitter and that too, you?" The kid said to jungkook who was sitting on the couch, completely disinterested. "Do you think I actually want to babysit you?" Jungkook asked with annoyed expression.

"Nope, by your looks it seems like I interrupted your meeting with your girlfriend" The kid said with a smirk. Jungkook glared at him. "Shut up" The kid giggled. "Well I am really hungry, shouldn't we eat something?" The kid said, "we just had lunch you foodie" Jungkook replied.

"Can you please call me by my name?" The kid asked with an annoyed look. Jungkook raised his eye brows, "can you tell me your name then?" He asked in a sarcastic tone. "It's jun, short for junho" He replied. "Alright Mr. Jun we just had our lunch so keep your mouth shut" Jungkook said smiling sarcastically.

"Aann pleaseeee I want to eat, I am sooooooo hungryyyy" Jungkook sighed in annoyance. "Fine fine I will take you, stop crying now" He said making jun smile automatically. Jungkook chuckled.

"Where do you wanna go?" Jungkook asked while they walked towards the main door. "There is a place where my mom always took me but now" Jun stopped looking down. Jungkook looked at him and then held his hand. "Hmm then let's go to your favorite place"

"I think we should discuss it with the king, what do you say?" Amelia asked frustrated by thinking to jin who was lost in his thoughts. "Yah I am saying something" He still didn't paid attention to her. She became more frustrated and left his room. Jin got up from his seat and went out. He went to jimin's room but found no one. "Where did he went right now?" He mumbled.

He went out to the balcony and witnessed something unexpected. "I shouldn't have come here to find him" He said to himself, regretting of coming there. He then turned to go but stopped. "My work is more important than his romance with princess luna" He then knocked at the door of the balcony. Both jimin and luna widened their eyes and immediately separated.

"Hy..un..g..hyung you need some..thing??" Jimin asked stuttering. Jin bowed to princess luna she did the same. "Sorry for interrupting your time but i need you for something important jimin and i won't repeat myself so just follow me" Saying this jin left. "You should go" Luna said to jimin who was annoyed by his hyung. "Alright" He immediately pecked her cheeks and ran from there before winking at her. Luna shyly smiled.

"Hyung is everything alright?" Jimin asked worried. "Nothing is alright, where is your mind nowadays? You know nothing what is going on in this country. You just fly around, knowing nothing" Jin scolded him. "But--" "No buts, now follow me" Saying this, he went outside. Jimin shook his head and followed him out. "Why did you brought him too?" Amelia asked, "he is helpful" Jin replied. Jimin looked at both of them, confused.

"What happened? Hyung what's going on?" Jimin looked at them in confusion. "Jimin, i have a favor to ask.. You can fly, so you need to go around the nearby lake to check if there's anything fishy there. Meanwhile we--" "Who is this we?" Amelia interrupted jin, "you and me, or who?" Amelia glared at him, "i am not going anywhere with you" Jin smiled sarcastically, "i am not asking you"

Amelia widened her eyes and mouth. Jimin shook his head seeing their bickering.

"Hyung i will go and check whatever you asked for" Saying this, jimin left the two, fighting like a typical married couple.

I did what hyung told me to do. I reached the lake, it wasn't quite near. It's between the two kingdoms which are connected with ours. But something caught my attention. I didn't thought i would actually find 'this' here. And that's when i understood why hyung asked me to check. The whole lake was all clean but this thing here is the cause of whatever he was talking about. I took that thing and decided to went back when all of a sudden i fell down and everything went black.

"Why is he taking so long?" Amelia said getting annoyed. "Who?" Hyeri said confused. "No one" Jin replied.

"Hyeri we found someone lying unconscious near the cursed lake" Both jin and Amelia widened their eyes. "You didn't mention that the lake there is cursed??" Amelia asked hyeri. "Oh i-i- am so-sorry"

"That is not important. Tell me where is he? JUST GODDAMN TELL ME WHERE IS MY BROTHER???" Jin yelled at them, with anger+worried emotions. "Hey calm down, he must be alright" The lady who informed them about jimin spoke, "anyone who gets near that lake never survived, even if they did that would be considered a miracle"

"I need to go see him"

"No you can't go, you will also die if you go there" Hyeri said, "i don't want to hear anything from you. You didn't inform me about the lake being cursed, if i knew about it then i would have never sent him there. Now if he didn't wake up, it's all your fault then" Jin said and left from there. Amelia followed him instead of staying behind.

"Jimin!!"

Jin exclaimed when he saw his younger brother lying unconscious. He was about to go near when Amelia stopped him. "Wait, let me go there" He looked at her worried, "but--"

"Don't worry, i can handle any curse effect. I will try to bring him here, you stay here" Saying this, she went towards jimin. 'God this cursed effect is too much. I am unable to take it but i have to take him out' Amelia thought as she went closer to jimin. 'Is he breathing?' She thought and realised he is alive but his pulses were low. She grabbed his both hands and tried to drag him towards jin. 'It's harder than i thought' she thought in her mind.

"Oh my god"

Jin exclaimed when she finally brought him to her. "Oh god!! Thank you thank you so much Amelia, you just saved my almost dying brother"

"We don't have time for that. His pulse is slow, we need to take him to the doctor, quickly" He nodded and then picked him up and took him to the carriage. "Is he alright?" Hyeri asked but jin completely ignored her. Amelia did the same. They left the village and immediately went to the palace.

They informed others and the king immediately asked for the palace doctor. Jimin was being treated in a room while others were waiting for his recovery. Jin was sitting, looked at the closed door. "How did this happen?" Namjoon asked Jin who said nothing. Luna came running, "where is jimin? Didn't he went with you, your highness?" She impatiently asked. "He is inside, getting treated. Hyung why aren't you saying anything? How did this happen?" Yoongi asked.

"It's all my fault. I just wanted to help those in need, so i asked jimin for a favor. But i didn't knew it would cost his life" Jin replied in a low tone. "WILL YOU STOP BLAMING YOURSELF?? It's neither your fault nor any of us. It's those people's fault. You just wanted to help them, but they didn't tell us the specific details. We didn't knew that place was cursed. And it's mine fault too, i was the one who asked you for help then you asked him" Amelia said while looking down.

Everyone were just looking at both of them. "Don't blame yourself. Even though you are a princess of another kingdom, still you thought about those poor and suffering people. So don't blame yourself" Jin said to Amelia.

--After one hour--

The doctor came out. Everyone ran to him and bombarded him with questions. "Look your highnesses, the treatment is over but the prince is still in a critical condition. Thank goodness, the cursed effect didn't reach his brain or heart. But there are still really less chances of him getting awake. We can just pray now" Saying this, he left. Jin fell on his knees in a thud. "Hyung!!" All the brothers exclaimed. Luna was weeping in a corner while Amelia was consoling her.

"Jungkookie stop" They turned to the other side to see jungkook was came running while tae was stopping him. "Why do i stop when jimin hyung is inside? Jin hyung, is he alright?" Jungkook asked worried.

Jin didn't replied as he was sitting lifeless. "If he didn't wake up, then yoongi you can take over the throne after father, i don't think i deserve to be the next king" He said in a guilt filled tone.

"Hyung, he will be alright" Yoongi replied, trying to control his tears.

Then Jin realised something and went towards namjoon, "namjoon can't you wake him up? You can contact spirits, maybe you would be able to do this--"

"Hyung i am sorry but i can't do that" Namjoon said with guilt. "Why? WHY CAN'T ANYONE DO SOMETHING??" He yelled while others tried to calm him down. "Hyung please calm yourself down" Hoseok said.
