.........................................................
"Huh?" He immediately raised his brows at that not believing his ears, and bluntly had to ask him to say it again to which the younger huffed annoyed by him, but repeated himself nonetheless

"I said I'm sorry, you don't need to act like such a dick"

Tae raised an eyebrow at that,
"Well, uh why are you apologizing to me?"

He eyed the dark haired male in a wary way, still having the thought of him actually being their ruler now in the back of his head,
he silently pitied him as all he could see was sadly a hogg who was experiencing all of that for the first time in his life. And so the comparison seemed to fit perfectly.

After a few moments of silence, a sigh escaped the younger as he held his head in his palms clearly from stress, quietly speaking
"I am very aware that our current situation is due to my fucking stupid suggestion, sometimes I wonder how I could convince dad to go along with a peace treaty when there were clear signs that the bastard only wanted war"

he then looked up at the older who was calmly listening to him,

"You were right, we should have listened to you... I blame myself so much, you don't know how much I despise the fact that I caused my father's death, caused mother's agony and deprived this kingdom from a much competent ruler and now I deserve-"

"Shut up!" Jungkook in that vulnerable moment didn't expect the other to shout at him,

he suddenly got mad since all he asked for was someone to listen to him and hopefully forgive him and for all of that shit happening in his life to finally be over.
He wanted peace, craved for something or someone to give him that.

He was done with the mess, and the older was not giving him what he wanted,
he clenched his fists in anger and frustration, well not exactly towards Taehyung but who else was there to take it out on?

He still pictured the face of his clueless father looking at him when he called his name a few seconds before his life was cruelly snatched from him, cruelly forced out of him by poisonous strikes that did him injustice of a honorable death on a battlefield.
And it still hurt him to do so as if he was living that moment in an endless loop motion.

"I've been silent through the shit you've been saying but it's too much sorry, I couldn't bear it anymore." and Taehyung proceeded talking as he crossed his arms over his chest holding up his chin in boredom.

"Didn't know you were such a pussy Jeon, I would've laughed my ass out everyday for two months now.
You must be pretty dense if you think that apologizing to me is going to change anything, I in no way have anything to do with your shit and you literally sound like a freaking-"
he was suddenly cut when a heavy punch landed on his left cheek making him stumble backwards and crash to the wall.

Immediately he was pressed against it, Jungkook's anger distorted face all over him with a seething breathing and bursted in rage.
"FUCKING SHUT YOUR TRAP! YOU THINK I WILL TOLERATE THIS FROM A-"
Taehyung using the same old good technique of kicking his crotch painfully making him weaken his hold and bend over a bit as he buried his face in his neck grunting loudly, and Taehyung took the occasion as he pinned him this time to the same wall.

"Listen here, Jungkook I'm done with your pathetic ass always coming after me and letting your anger out on me when it turns bad for you! And so I'm making you fucking listen to me this time, and for all I care you've to get across all I'm gonna say!"

The younger recovered from the blow with a still throbbing member hating the other's guts but didn't try to escape his grip nonetheless for he was curious about what he had to say.

"I've met someone before, when I was about sixteen years old, a guy who was like five years older than me, I at that time was participating in a fight that involved some stray communities forming against the main Korean kingdoms and hence threatening the peace, many mercenaries were involved in the fight taking either side for money of course and he was one of them on our side..."

Jungkook was confused to why the hell he was telling him some stupid story, annoyed he shrugged his shoulder prying off the older's hand that held on it, who then completely let got of him when he saw how he was not struggling and so he resumed

"He was a pretty handsome foreigner, with tanned complexion and jet black hair,
he strangely had a calm and peaceful aura despite his strong built and the fact that he was killing people for money...

Even his voice was gentle and soothing, I got to know him since we were the youngest there and he helped me out many times during the fights.

His name was Ali, and he was Arab.
It was interesting to see an Arab here in Korea fighting alongside us, he said that he spent about five years in one of the nearby kingdoms and was pretty much attached to the place, therefore he wanted to protect it.
He asked me about many things and mostly religious questions that I was not so comfortable answering them, since I was not that religious, heck I don't even think I am now but I at least can relate to religious thinking more than before.

He taught me a lot about God, his beliefs and to say the truth I was more than convinced about that way of thinking, to just live a peaceful and free life without paying attention to the negative things, be kind, smile more and protect those you love.
He taught me about fate and how our lives were all planned and written. No one can escape their fate, but one can change live longer by making good deeds and be a righteous person.
Depressing over death for longer than it should last, is one of the things that show that you don't have a strong faith in whatever fate is planning for you.
If that happened, it was meant to happen in a way or another, the cause of death is just an excuse to take one's soul.
And I want you to understand that." Taehyung then was looking into his eyes directly

"Your parents are really important to you, and I fully get it, but try to make the most of it, spend more time with the people around you and cherish them as long as you can. And stop blaming yourself when it was someone else who muredered your father, I'm sure he never would blame you...again my condolences for your loss"

It took a few minutes for Taehyung to finally step away a bit from a shook Jungkook who stood there not expecting to hear that from the older and Taehyung almost giggled at the way he looked.

"Stop that, it looks like your eyes are going to fall off" and chuckled a bit at the end.

"Uh... I dont know what to say Tae, how the hell did you even...uh wow" to say he was flabbergasted was justified since he never thought the older to have that much fate and that kind of thoughts about life.

In a way he respected his perspective and a huge half of his soul was relieved that he actually had the courage to confess, heck he didn't even confess it seemed like Taehyung already knew what he was thinking this whole time...
"Um and was that oh so religious friend of yours aware that you are gay?" He suddenly couldn't help but ask amused to the idea of Taehyung playing along a religious man and pretending to hate on homosexuals like the others.

Well, the amusement that Jungkook felt was completely opposed by Taehyung's dark expression as he fixed the wall so intensely, a sensation of a clogged throat overwhelmed him and he didn't smile anymore
"He did" was all he managed to say before his eyes blurred with tears and the first drop fell from his right eye when he blinked followed by others right away.

Jungkook again was confused and kind of panicked when he saw how sad the other was, assuming that it didn't go well between them because of that and he regretted his question

"Oh, Why are you crying Taehyung?."

"Sorry, it's just... I just remembered how we were so in love me and Jimin at that time."
And to his dismay the older cried even more after saying it out loud.
Jungkook clamped his mouth shut not knowing what he should say to him, as he sort of separated them.
He didn't know it was that serious for him and he felt so bad to have caused him such pain, he felt like an asshole and a jerk that he may really be so.

"So, I assume then it went well with Ali?" He asked hesitatingly to change the subject.

Taehyung nodded hiccuping a bit
"H-He said thatt we all are humans and that even if it's forbidden to have sexual intercourse without marriage and that same gender marriage is not possible in his religion, you are free to do what you want, you choose whatever suits you and no one has the right to treat you differently because of it.."

And Jungkook was relieved that by the end of his little speech, Taehyung calmed down and was not hiccuping from crying anymore.

"I ,...I want to ask you something actually" the raven warily eyes the older suddenly his mood became serious.

"What's it?"

"Um, Taehyung come tonight to my room, we need to tell you something actually."
"Who's we?"
"You're gonna see, and I think I'm supposed to thank you huh" and Jungkook brought his palm to the older's face, inspecting the bruise that formed on his face. And whispered a "sorry for this"
Brushing strands of hair from his face, he finally let go of his face and headed out.

Whereas in the Chinese kingdom

"Uh, yeah could you get off my ass now?" The Wang king said annoyed to an unknown person.
"Of course, I could but you know that I'm not supporting you anymore if you're sinking. I don't side with weaklings"

Jackson gritted his teeth at that, "well, I'll make sure I won't"
"Better so, though you gotta watch for those guys, that was funny how they managed to see through the hidden man. I was impressed"
"Whatever, that doll face commander did. Anyway I got to kill their king so who cares" he rolled his eyes at the other.

"Hopefully, you're not regretting taking this kind of stuff this so lightly" the other scoffed as he made it out of the room.
