.........................................................
Jungkook woke up panting heavily, he had a dream. A weird one.
He was clad in a black majestic outfit with a long satin cloak covering his back. Their kingdom's crown on his head.

A blond Jimin standing by his right side looking as attractive as he had known him, an angelic face but a worried expression on it.
He looked more mature maybe older..?
There was a glowing white light and golden rays engulfing them, clearly reflected from the shining golden items surrounding the joyous place, a happy mood filled the air by the light smooth roses scent overflowing and the calm instrumentals playing in the background.

Jungkook first admired Jimin but frowned. Why'd he look this panicked in such a soothing atmosphere, he followed his gaze and suddenly a freezing breeze grazed his locks and well clothed body.
The music got muted and he saw a face he would recognize among millions of faces.
Taehyung.
The man who surprisingly looked even more breathtaking than usual had a fairer hair color,
locks parted beautifully to make way for his glowing forehead.
Furrowed eyebrows and... cheeks stained by tears.
His usually dark eyes were sparkling, and seemed even bigger from the sheer surface above his eyes.
Jungkook's heart clenched to the sight, and everything melted into blurry images after a taller and well built man wrapped his arm around the slim boy's frame, he looked so small comparing to the unknown figure, fitting in his arms so perfectly...

Jungkook still had his heart beating anxiously after he woke up, the uneasy feeling never leaving his tight chest.
He was in his dark room, a soundly sleeping Jimin by the other side of his bed.
He suddenly felt a wet substance, no...tears on his face... why was he crying...? The dream where Taehyung was crying must have affected him, or maybe he was crying himself without noticing in that dream.
It felt so real that it worried him.
What if it was actually real?
He heard from someone that we do see separate bits and pieces of our future in our dreams, but the angel that takes the soul of a person out there to the world where lay secrets and things a human should not know of, has to erase all of them in order to keep the stability of the existence, what's unknown shall stay so, if not an off balance in the world occurs.
That's why you sometimes feel like you're living something you already lived once. You'd be lucky to wake up and remember exactly what happened, it's so rare. Sometimes even if you remember dreaming of something important you can't recall what it was and your head starts hurting. You should drop it because you'd certainly and most likely not.
Jungkook though remembered all the details, but he was not sure whether it was a foreseeing or a mere dream,
and therefore opted for the latter option trying to brush off the anxiety feeling circulating his whole body like wild fire even though his body was freezing and the cold sweat traveled down his forehead very slowly not helping his distress.
Wiping his tears away, he pressed to Jimin's back taking him in his arms feeling warm again, the thought of him in his future felt reassuring to his heart even a small smile crept its way to his face;
but it soon changed to a sleepy frown as the image of Taehyung's crying face encroached back on his tired brain, his eyes drooping soon afterwards.
His last thought being 'I haven't seen him for four days...'
~~~~~~~~~~

Taehyung had a reunion with the other commanders.
They would all gather once at the end of the month in order to have a general opinion about how all is going, try to fix problems if there are any and make decisions that satisfy them, as well as discuss the bordering countries behaviors, recent happenings there and check on the league they formed for many years now.

The Jeon's kingdom was a pure military founded government, they depended on their soldiery power to deal with every matter presenting, it being internal or external relationships, economical and even educational cases were handled by them, of course the king was the top decisions source but the process of reporting their preliminary ones still had to take place before anything else.

The general and commanders were the biggest social influence in the hierarchy after the king of the said empire; which distinguished it from the others, he didn't need counselors to assist him.
It was considered as a violent yet clever dominance strategy by the smaller and or weaker kingdoms, that even the adversary ones failed to apply such tactics since their leaders craved for pure royal reign only, not having the wits to care for the futur of their lands or the over all benefit of their people. With exceptions of course.

Therefore the Jeon's was feared and it goes without a say that their foes outnumbered their true allies.

This time their meeting being held a bit earlier than usual, had the young commander frown in his way to the second building of the castle. Even the poor solider who was sent to him by their general was so out of breath that Taehyung had to catch him since he was about to pass out from all the running he was doing to inform them all in time.
He didn't waste a second before heading there.
What he didn't expect was the presence of Jungkook in the room when he arrived, apparently he was the last person to get there. 'Tsk,Always late' he thought before heading to his chair and sitting down greeting the others good morning before doing so, and maybe locking eyes with a certain raven head for five seconds before making it back to reality.

The air was not warm like usual, adding to the serious face of Minho who was looking daggers at the table that they were surrounding,
a heavy silence that made it obvious to even thick headed people 'something was clearly off'.
Eyes moving from one to another to confirm it between each other warily, no one saying a word or moving, the breathing process became difficult in fear that a person would breath slightly louder than necessary and bring the attention of all the males present on herself.

Jung Hoseok though being himself, he had to sneeze loudly even startling the thoughtful general who seemed to snap out of it immediately and whose heart started beating faster, the five pairs of eyes catching it right away,
followed by a poor attempt to muffle a giggly laugh.

Taehyung couldn't help it.
"Sorry hyung, that was funny uhum" he cleared his throat at the end to compose himself again and be out of the five piercing gazes after he locked eyes with Namjoon who was wearing glasses, he didn't know that a person could look that intimidating wearing glasses.

Minho found him adorable nonetheless, smiling slightly at his apology and Jungkook couldn't tear his gaze away from the boy, he was still so nervous; the last night's dream still hunting his soul restless.

"Everyone, I need your full attention today.
I appreciate your presence with us prince Jungkook since we could use all the help possible this time.
Things are not doing well out there, I don't want you to panic but being vigilant is the most important thing in these times, we are standing a heavy guard on a larger diameter from now on.
The more the extent, the better."
"What happened?" Jungkook immediately cut in.

Minho sighed clearly tired from the loaded work he was exposed to recently. Pinching the bridge of his nose he resumed
"Well, we already planted spies in every kingdom possible and some of them are reporting suspicious taken actions that happened around the same time.
What's suspicious is that, those actions were in form of meetings, no ..actually secret meetings, messengers going to and from the one and only troublesome foe we had to this day"
the commanders' eyes widened at that but not Jungkook's, better not know then...

"The Chinese kingdom?" Asked Hoseok alarmed.
"Yeah well more like the Korean kingdom that was conquered by Chinese." Minho corrected.
"That's so obscur why would they do that so suddenly? It's true we haven't had the best of relations till now, but we had a peace treaty going on what happened to that part?"
Hoseok couldn't seem to calm down to the terrifying revelation, not that they were afraid of them but who would want to participate in a war in his twenties?

Their kingdom was peaceful for over decades after the alliances they formed with each other after the Chinese took over the other kingdom.
Nevertheless breaking a peace treaty was still unforgivable and a suggestive action to an unavoidable conflicts between them.

Namjoon broke everyone's thoughts by stating the only logical explanation that came to his calculating mind,
"If you haven't heard it yet, the former Chinese ruler is dead not so long ago, the one who took over is none other than his nephew, the new king now; Jackson Wang.
It is meaningful in many ways, since the death was not natural, he killed his uncle,... so thinking that someone like that is the one who is in charge ugh makes fucking sense"

"Yeah shit, a brat with twisted brain that is,
becoming greedy all of a sudden and screwing us all over what a pain". Yoongi grumbled to the thought nodding approving of the younger's analysis.

"So?" Taehyung quickly butted in turning their all attention to himself,
"we only have to be ready. Not to brag but our soldiers are the best ones ever, I can say that much.
We all know that we've been surveying the others' soldiery power till now. I'm still in contact with Jeonghan he reports to me monthly, there hasn't been any changes the last time..."
"The pretty blond haired one?"
Hoseok asked and Taehyung nodded at him but stopped a bit, gaze going down to the wooden surface of the polished table, watching how his tanned hands adorned  with many rings and silver chains were placed on it, an interesting shade created from the dim orange light reflecting on them.
He sighed with a heavy heart looking up again with concern at the worried Minho who was observing him meticulously just like the other four people present with them, as if what he was about to say already sunk in their heads and made them freeze in their seats.

He curled his hands into fists gulping visibly and mouth opened a bit taking in some air, before he finally spoke again
"I-I haven't received anything from him this month though..."
And with a frown he added "I wouldn't forgive myself if he is out in danger, I sent him there knowing full well that he had a lover here."

Namjoon shook his head in dismissal, bringing his hand to his shoulder in an unfortunately unsuccessful way to reassure him.

"Blame that fucking Jackson not yourself Tae" Yoongi stated, seeing how the other was still not convinced, his voice softening when he called him Tae.

Jungkook on the other hand felt useless for ignoring all of that, the matters of his kingdom were unknown to him and an urge to take over and catch on everything overtook him, so he cleared his throat about to say his first words about it.
After he absorbed all of the information, how the danger was around the corner, he wanted to have a part in it as well.
To help protect the lands that he will rule in the futur.

The commanders and general were all looking at him expectantly, they wanted to hear the prince's opinion especially Taehyung, he wanted to know whether he could judge him qualified to be their next king or not.

"I.. think that since the peace treaty has been going on since well.. many years now, my father should hold a meeting with the other rulers as a form of formality in order to express his wish to keep the good relations with them. It'd be a way to confirm these suspicions, to not jump on unfounded theories.
It doesn't mean we could let ourselves without preparations during that time."
"Our soldiers are always ready, you're Highness" Hoseok as proudly as he could stated, piercing eyes shining with determination, his soul full of bravery and firm will reassured the prince who nodded at him impressed by the confidence shown by these men as he looked over them all, all five of them with no slumped shoulders nor signs of fear.

They screamed power and hope. Real warriors is what they were.

Minho then held his hand to cup his own chin looking past the people in front of him at the wall where fire torches were hanging,

"Umm you mean we should attempt using a political solution before resolving to military force? That would be unusual to our ways... but maybe we can consider doing that yeah" Minho sort of approved of the idea.
Yet Taehyung was not impressed by it.
He considered talking peace to the enemy before acting as them showing weakness, they'd think they fear being in a battle against them. So he crossed his arms mood falling suddenly which Namjoon noticed, raising an eyebrow at the boy silently.

Jungkook smiled a bit at the general after having his answer not bothering having the others opinions, he stood from his seat to excuse himself before Yoongi addressed him.
"Prince Jungkook, I still have to discuss the new weapon that I've been working on,
we could put it to use if a battle was to break. You can of course feel free to skip it, I just wanted to make sure you knew about it"

"Thanks commander, but I have to go talk to father. I'll read about it later on" he smiled a bit at him in appreciation, he was thankful that such young people were what held the kingdom and protected their people, he felt much more capable than he thought he would be if confronted to such a situation. thanks to these competent people.

"Have a good day commanders and General Choi, I appreciate your efforts"
"The pleasure is ours" Minho nodded to him.

Jungkook turned his head and looked at Taehyung in the eyes before heading out.

Even though the anxiety feeling he had all the morning faded throughout the meeting they held, mind full of new concerns.

He still had an uneasiness towards the said male whose face brings back the memories of that ominous dream..
