Jungkook instantly froze his face after he said those three words. He didn't even except himself to say that, the words just kind of fell out of his mouth as if he couldn't hold it back. 

He couldn't even look at Taehyung's reaction because of how scared he became, so instead he looked down at their intertwined hands while thinking of something to do. 

"Y-you w-what?"

The Prince slowly lifted his gaze so he could meet the elders eyes once again. Everyone was still watching the pair in shock and silence, but the two completely forgot that they were in a Ballroom filled with people.

"I-" He began mumbling. "I love you.." Jungkook said, this time his tone sounding more like a realization. He watched Taehyung's eyes grow wider and his jaw drop low which gave him so much anxiety. "Wait." The younger said as he put a finger onto the latters lips.

"We can talk about this when we're alone, is that okay?" Jungkook hopefully asked. There was so much he wanted to tell Taehyung right now but he didn't want to do it in front of the whole Kingdom. 

The black haired male slowly nodded, his heart beating over 100 miles per hour which he knew the Prince could feel since their bodies were pressed against each other.

Jungkook didn't really 'want to talk about it later' since he was having so much anxiety. He wanted to know if Taehyung felt the same or not so bad, which obviously he was hoping he did feel the same but he had doubts.

"Let's dance." The younger calmly said as he repositioned his arms, softly beginning to sway the two around the middle of the Ballroom.

Once both Taehyung and the Prince started dancing again, everyone grabbed their partners and copied the pairs action while following the same waltz. Both Jungkook and Taehyung were panicking and their hearts were beating so fast, but they tried to hide it and be patient until the Ball was over.

-

"Thank you all very much for coming this evening! I'm sorry for the disruption but I hope you all enjoyed your time here as much as I did. I hope to see you again at the next Ball!" The King announced through the microphone, receiving bows left and right from guests until they politely left the room.

"Let's get out of here." Jungkook whispered in Taehyung's ear making the said male smile and nod, the Prince taking the elders pinky and lead him out of the room. The opposite door to where everyone was walking out of.

After being about a mile away from the Castle, the Prince took a turn on the sidewalk while still holding onto Taehyung's pinky. The older had no clue where he was being taken but he trusted the younger.

A little down the sidewalk, Jungkook stopped in front of an all too familiar building making Taehyung slightly open his mouth.

"They rebuilt it?" 

With a smile, Jungkook nodded while looking at Taehyung's side profile who was looking at the Church which looked almost exactly the same as before. A huge smile appeared onto his face which made the Prince happy even though he was still anxious as hell.

"Come." The younger told as he being softly pulling Taehyung into the church, walking him down the aisle and taking him up the stairs.

Although the black haired male was overjoyed at the fact the church had been rebuilt, he was still upset when he didn't see his parents coffins in there anymore. But it was okay because he knew they were watching over him.

"Ta'da." Jungkook quietly exclaimed, opening the doors to the rooftop. 

The said male stood and watched as Taehyung happily began walking to the edge and stopping, sweetly smiling as the cold night breeze hit the bridge of his nose and brushed his hair back. 

Jungkook knew he was so, so, so deeply and madly in love with the older. It's the way his heart felt like it was going to fall out of his chest whenever he just looked at the black haired. Especially now, knowing Taehyung knew he loved him.

"This is where we met Pete." The oldest stated as he turned around, his smile fading a bit away once he noticed Jungkook was just.. staring at him. Staring at him like he was the only thing on earth.

"Jungkook?" He softly asked, still receiving no response making him step closer to the said male. "Are you okay?"

"I need to know Taehyung, it's killing me."

The Prince stepped closer to the older, looking him right in the eyes making Taehyung nervous. "W-what do you want to know?"

Not knowing how to word it, Jungkook pursed his lips into a line and looked down at the ground trying to figure out his sentance.

"I know this is probably one sided, but I need to know so bad. Even if there is just a teeny tiny chance you like me back, love me.. I just need to know Taehyung my heart is racing and I feel like I'm going to explode because I love you so mu-" 

Taehyung shut the younger up by placing his lips onto his, deeply smiling into the kiss making Jungkook smile too even though he didn't get his answer yet. The older let go and gave the Prince a heartwarming smile.

"I lof you too Jungkook."

He thought the said male would have a bigger reaction than what he got, because Jungkook just stared at Taehyung with a blank expression. "K-kook? I love you." He said again in case he wasn't heard.

He still didn't even get a reaction, that is until he noticed the Prince's lips began quivering and second later his eyes watering up.

"S-say it again please."

"I love you too kook, I love you back."

Jungkook began shaking his head no in disbelief, now the water in his eyes running down his face. He needed to hear it 100 times for him to believe it.

"A-again."

Taehyung giggled as he wrapped his arms softly around the Prince's body that seemed to be breaking down, resting his head on his shoulder as he was hugged back by the younger.

"I love Pete."

Without even hesitating Jungkook pulled back from the hug and roughly reconnected his lips with the latter. "Not the time to make me jealous baby." He said through the kiss as he was still crying.

Taehyung laughed to himself as he pulled back, smiling at Jungkook before lightly kissing the tear on his right cheek away.

"I-"

A kiss to tear on his left cheek.

"love-"

A kiss on his nose.

"you."

Jungkook sniffled his nose while staring at the latters simply beautiful face. He didn't know how to express how happy he was right now. 

"Baby you don't even know how sorry I am for all of the horrible things I've done and said to you, I regret it so much and it kills me every day If I could erase what I've done I would." He said with much regret in his voice. 

Taehyung smiled while wrapping his arms around the youngers neck. "It's okay Kook, It really is okay."

"Does this mean I can say 'Kim Taehyung is my baby and mine only and if anyone touches him they're dead' to the whole world?"

The said male giggled once again and rested his head back on the Prince's neck.

"I lof you a lot kooks."

-

Taehyung smiled at all of the stars in the sky as he leaned against Jungkook, the two now sitting beside each other on the edge of the roof. 

"I saw my parents today." 

The younger quickly looked to Taehyung's side with shock in his eyes. "You did?" He replied with a happy nod, looking back at Jungkook who was looking right at him. "Want to meet them?"

Of course the Prince wanted to meet them, but he didn't exactly understand how. 

"How?" He questioned. 

The black haired male grabbed the youngers hands and stood him up off the ground. "Follow me."

Taehyung began taking Jungkook back down the stairs, away from the roof and to the main room of the Church. He began walking to the mirror he spotted in the building earlier and stood him and the Prince right in front of it.

Jungkook was pretty confused on what was happening, but he trusted the latter with all of his heart so he didn't question it.

"Mom? Dad? Are you there?" Taehyung asked with hope in his voice, waiting for the two reflections to appear but he only saw his and Jungkook's who were holding hands.

"I have Jungkook with me, I want you to meet him."

The two still waited for something to happen but nothing did. The older still kept his hope though. "I know you're there, please let me see you again." 

Still, nothing. Taehyung didn't understand why, because if he could see them before why couldn't he see them now? He also felt embarrassed now because he didn't want Jungkook to think he was crazy.

"Tae.. I don't think-"     "No, they're here. I saw them this morning. My Mom ruffled my hair and my Dad pat my shoulder." He disappointedly said, losing the hope he had.

"Here, maybe the mirror is just foggy." The black haired walked up closer to the mirror and cleaned it with his sleeve, stepping back to see if they were there but they still weren't.

"Just c-come back it's not that hard." 

Taehyung lightly kicked the mirror hoping it would cause something to happen but it still didn't. Jungkook felt heartbroken as he watched the latter lose his hope. He knew the older was hallucinating earlier but he didn't want to tell him that.

"Kook I promise, they're h-here. They're h-here." He stuttered as he began to cry, letting Jungkook hug his side as they looked at their reflection in the mirror.

"It's okay baby, it's okay." The Prince reassuringly said as he watched the latter beak down, knowing he just wanted to see his parents once last time.

hope you enjoyed the chapter!! :) love ygs!<3
