The Royal siblings were gathered in SeokJin and Hoseok’s bedroom, discussing topics the warriors weren't allowed to hear.

“Why can’t we tell them? The kingdom has already gone to shit, what’s the worst that can happen?” Yeri inquired her brother’s glaring at her.

“LANGUAGE!”

Hoseok sighed, sitting on his bed with his head in his hands, “there is no point in telling them.”

“Besides you taking the throne!” SeokJin exclaimed, “Hoseok you are the rightful heir! Why wouldn’t you want to tell them!”

“Because everyone thinks it’s you SeokJin!” Hoseok shouted, standing up abruptly, “All my life it hasn’t fucking mattered if I’m the rightful heir or not because you were the more handsome brother you got the throne!”

SeokJin glared at him, “you think I asked-”

“Of course not!” the younger expressed, staring at his brother, “but you really think it matters now? You are going to be king, no matter what!”

“But we can change that!” Jimin suddenly exclaimed, “Hoseok we can tell them you are the rightful heir and not SeokJin Hyung, he’s already said he doesn’t want to be king!”

“Exactly!” Jin agreed, the three siblings looking back at Hoseok.

“You don’t understand-”

“What do you mean we don’t understand Hoseok,” SeokJin interrupted, only to cause an outburst in Hoseok.

“YOU HAVEN’T BEEN CALLED HIDEOUS YOUR WHOLE FUCKING LIFE! NO ONE HAS EVER EXAMINED YOUR FACE TO SEE WHERE THEY NEED TO FIX IT BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE ALL GORGEOUS! IT DIDN’T MATTER THAT I WAS THE RIGHTFUL HEIR TO THE THRONE BECAUSE I DIDN’T LOOK THE FUCKING PART! SO DON’T COME TO ME WITH THAT BULLSHIT THAT YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND! BECAUSE YOU DON’T!” Hoseok screamed, storming out of the room before he could hear a response from his siblings.

Yeri, Jimin, and SeokJin stood there, speechless, not knowing how to respond to Hoseok’s outburst.

What the Royals were talking about is how Hoseok is supposed to be the next king of Aleumdaun, not SeokJin. SeokJin was not the King and Queen’s son, he was the King and a beautiful maid’s son. Jimin was the son of the King and a princess from another kingdom. Hoseok and Yeri were the only two that were the King and Queen’s full-blooded children.

SeokJin is not the rightful heir because he is not of full blood to take over the throne, Hoseok is. Though, the reason the male isn’t the one training to become King is because King Jung deemed him unworthy, mainly for his looks.

Which has affected Hoseok is whole life.

The only people who know the truth are the Royal Court, and family. SeokJin doesn’t want to be King, because he knows Hoseok deserves that title, which is why the siblings just want to come out with the truth.

Which is why they talked, and why Hoseok found himself on the roof of the bunker, tears streaming down his face. The blond didn’t expect Yoongi to follow him since he knew how much the warrior despised him.

But now here they were, Yoongi sitting beside Hoseok and staring at him as if he were a different person after the words he said.

“Why would you say that?” Yoongi inquired, watching as Hoseok just stood up and began walking away.

“No reason, now let's go.”

Dinner was filled with an unknown tension, each person eating quietly. After tomorrow they would be going back to Aleumdaun to see what’s left of their home and start discussing their next move.

“That’s it, I’m done,” Yeri exclaimed, standing up from her seat.

Hoseok glared at her, “Yeri, sit the fuck down.”

The warriors were surprised by Hoseok’s use of language, never seeing these sides of the royal’s.

“Hoseok, I love you, and this is why I’m doing this. They deserve to know the truth,” the blonde haired female stated, each warrior staring at each other with confused expressions.

SeokJin also stood up, taking his sister’s hand in his own, “I’m not the rightful heir to the throne, Hoseok is.”

Each warriors eyes widened tenfold, especially Yoongi’s. What SeokJin was basically saying is Yoongi has been protecting the next heir to the throne without even knowing it!

“What!” the warriors shouted in unison, Hoseok shrinking in his seat.

“Queen Jung was not my, nor Jimin’s mother. Meaning that the rightful heir is Hoseok, our father just kept it a secret from Aleumdaun because he didn’t think Hoseok fit the look of the king,” Jin explained, Jimin nodded.

“He basically said I was too ugly to be king, and gave it to SeokJin,” Hoseok finally spoke, each warrior feeling a new found pity for him.

Especially Yoongi, who always called Hoseok ugly, but he didn’t know how much that had affected the younger male till now. Now, he knew why the younger would act so arrogant, to protect his already broken image.

When Hoseok stood up to go to his room, each warrior stood up as well and bowed to him, Seokjin, Yeri, and Jimin showing fond smiles.

“You are our rightful King, Hoseok,” Jinyoung, now The Top warrior, stated.

Hoseok was awestruck, he always wanted to be king, but he never thought it was going to happen.

SeokJin walked up to Hoseok, wrapping his arm around his younger sibling, “welcome to your rightful throne, my dear brother.”

The blond smiled, hugging all his siblings at once. He was happy the truth was out, though not everyone would be.
