"Jungkook!" Namjoon yelled at the Prince's locked door. "Can you come out of your room already? You're late to the meet and greet!" 

Realizing the younger wasn't opening his door up anytime soon, Namjoon reached his hand into his pocket and grabbed out a certain key which was specifically for Jungkook's room. Quickly opening the door, the butler stepped inside and widened his eyes at the scene.

"No grandma, I don't have anymore friends. I thought I had one but he probably hates me like everyone does."

The Prince was sat in front of both his Grandparents urns, wine bottles scattered almost everywhere throughout his room. Namjoon let out a big sigh as he went to go get the drunk Jungkook off the ground. "Jesus Jungkook why are you drinking again?"

"Go away, I'm having a conversation with my Grandparents." The younger sternly stated, eyeing Namjoon with a death glare.

It was never a good thing when Jungkook drank since he was so lightweight, and whenever he got drunk he would either end up acting like a child or was over emotional. And it was especially not good on a day like this.

"You have a meet and greet today, fuck." The butler groaned the last word out of frustration. The King would definitely not be happy when seeing his son. "Get up and wash your mouth out." Namjoon grabbed Jungkook by his forearm and pulled him up off the ground.

The Prince lazily limped over to the bathroom with a pouted look on his face, meanwhile Namjoon was cleaning up all of the wine bottles on the floor of the room.

"Hey Joon, my stomach feels a little-" 

The butler whipped his head around to the sight of Jungkook hunched over the toilet making gagging sounds, almost making him want to throw up himself. The older of the two quickly rushed over to the Prince to help him back up. At least it's out of his system  he thought to himself.

"There you are, you're late."

Jungkook was too dazed to even hear his fathers complaints and only followed his butler who was dragging him outside to where the meet and greet was, his father following behind who was having a mental breakdown.

"Sit." Namjoon instructed like he was talking to a dog, pointing to the extra throne placed outside for the Prince's meet and greet. The younger was still feeling a bit hazy, but was more regained with himself now.

The King and Queen didn't tell anyone, but their main purpose for the meet and greet was to find someone that Jungkook could take interest in. They both did not know about Lucas and has always thought their son's never been in love.

The gates to the front yard of the castle opened once the Queen instructed one of the guards to do so, a line of men and woman forming right away. The scenery was neatly set up, tables and chairs spaced out in areas along with a table set with food.

"Why does Jungkook look so drunk?" Yoongi questioned Hoseok who he was standing beside behind the table set with food along with Jin, Jimin, and Taehyung. "Maybe because he is?"

"This should be interesting." Jin chuckled as he sneaked a piece of bread into his mouth from the table. The rest of the boys nodded their heads in agreement as they kept observing the Prince who looked lost in his own world.

Jimin rolled his eyes once he heard Jungkook was drunk, walking over to Taehyung who was at the other end of the table fiddling with his fingers. Big crowds like this always made him nervous.

"Hey Tae, wanna go hand out samplers with me?" 

The said male snapped his head in the direction of Jimin who had a big tray with bites of food placed on it and a smile on his face. "Oh, sure!" The younger responded, walking with the older over to the line of crowded people.

-

"Hello your Majesty! It's a pleasure to meet you, you're even more handsome up close." One of the girls stated introducing herself to the Prince who had a bored look on his face. 

"I'm gay."

The girl pursed her lips into a line awkwardly, slowly placing the gift she bought for him near the bottom of the throne. 

"This dude is so drunk." Hoseok laughed as him and Yoongi watched the Prince reject and make fun of the people introducing themselves, his father and mothers reactions were priceless as well.  "Can you two help me or not?" Jin yelled at the two as he was preparing plates for the guests.

"Jungkook, can you be a bit more respectful to the guests?" The said males mother questioned her son who was biting his nails while waiting for the next person. The Prince ignored his mother and eyed the man walking up to him before his eyes landed on something else.

Jungkook's bored look turned into a concerned look as he watched Jimin and Taehyung laughing and smiling together while passing out samplers to the guests. They both seemed to be having the time of their lives which only upset him even more.

"Jungkook?"

The Prince quickly turned his attention back to the male facing him. He didn't even notice who was in front of him before because of how lost he was, but he swore he could feel his heart drop once he recognized the face.

"L-lucas?"

"You know him?" Both of his parents questioned him at the same time. The youngest was still drunk so he was only paying attention to one or two things, maybe even three but he wasn't keeping track as he stared at the man in shock. "Long time no see eh?" 

Lucas chuckled, placing his hands into his pockets as he eyes the younger who seemed to have grown up and matured since the last time he saw him.

"Oh shit." Namjoon exclaimed to himself once he realized Lucas was standing in front of the drunk Prince. The butler was chatting with Jin behind the tables which is why he only realized just now.

If Jungkook was in his right mind, he would've just shooed off Lucas like it was nothing. But right now he was in a completely different state, so different the Prince did nothing but stare at his ex who was standing right in front of him.

"What's wrong?" Jin questioned once he saw the panic in the youngers eyes. "Be right back."

Tears forming in the Prince's eyes were now clearly visible and were even more clear when Namjoon got closer to him. But he was too late to hold him back before the said male broke down in his throne right in front of the whole kingdom.

What's going on?  Taehyung questioned himself once he heard everyone in line gasping in worry, both his and Jimin's head turning towards the direction of the drama. The said males eyes widened in complete worry one he saw Jungkook in full tears.

"Escort this man out of the castle please." The butler told to one of the guards as he pointed to Lucas before making his way over to Jungkook. 

The King and Queen both had no clue what just happened, but none the less the King grabbed the microphone beside him and spoke up into it. 

"This meet and greet will now be concluded. Thank you for your time."

"Let's go." Namjoon told to the broken Prince who was shaking so miserably out of fear, pain, and drunkenness. "W-why's he h-here?" 

"I don't know.." The butler responded.

Taehyung hopped back to reality once he saw Namjoon taking Jungkook back into the castle and everyone leaving the premises. "Sorry, I have to go." The said male told to Jimin, handing over his apron to the older before sprinting in towards the castle where the butler and Prince were heading.

"H-he can't just show u-up like that." Jungkook was barely able to form a sentence because of how much he was whimpering. "H-he stole my first kiss.. he u-used me.."

There was nothing Namjoon could say to make the Prince stop crying so he just kept to himself as he led him back to his room.

"Get some rest, you'll feel better tomorrow." The butler stated once Jungkook was back in his room. He received no response as the latter noticed his grandparents urns in his room again. "G-grandpa and Grandpa are dead?" 

Namjoon closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh, he really did not know what to say in a situation like this. Jungkook hasn't gotten drunk in five years and hasn't had to deal with him being like this ever since then.

"B-but I was just talking to them.."

"Jungkook??"

Both Namjoon and Jungkook faced their attention up to Taehyung who looked so concerned. Knowing Taehyung would be able to calm the prince down better than himself, Namjoon let the said male in and closed the door before walking back over to the King and Queen to explain what was going on.

"Hey what's wrong?" The black haired male knew the Prince was drunk which was why he wasn't afraid of getting hurt or yelled at. 

Jungkook was sitting on his bed with his legs crossed, tears falling from his eyes while staring at the Sous Chef. "T-taehyung? What are you doing here.."

"I'm making sure you're okay." The latter said as he sat down on the bed next to the younger. 

"Why do you care? N-no one cares if I'm okay."

"I do." Taehyung reassuringly stated with a small smile. "You do?" The Prince widened his watery eyes.  The older nodded in response, noticing another wine bottle that was hiding behind one of his pillows.

"But you care about Jimin more than me." Jungkook said with a pout, water staring to fall down his cheeks again. "Lucas d-does too, and my parents.. everyone l-loves Jimin."

Lucas?  The older asked himself. He remembered that name from the blackboard in Jungkook's game room. 

"I care about both you and Jimin Jungkook. You are both my friends." Taehyung let out another reassuring smile to show that he really did care about the Prince. Jungkook said nothing, lips quivering while staring at the elder.

"You look pretty when y-you smile."

The black haired male had no clue where this Jungkook came from, but it felt more than good to receive such a compliment from the younger even if it was a little one. In fact in made him smile only even more.

But then he figured it was most likely just the alcohol talking, causing the smile on his face to disappear. "Get some rest Jungkook.."
