Taehyung raised his eyebrow in concern, looking down at his wrist that Yucheon was holding too tightly and back up at the said male. "What do you mean?" The younger didn't understand why his brother cared so much whether he saw Jungkook or not, he never let Taehyung see the Prince but today he looked scary which wasn't normal.

"I mean that you can't see Jungkook."

"Why not?" Taehyung kept persisting but still wasn't getting an answer, only a heaved breath from the elder as he gripped the latters wrist tighter. "Don't make me mad Taehyung."

"But I need to see him right now, it's importan-" The said male began but was cut off again as Yucheon began dragging him away from the door and towards another room.

"I was going to wait longer to do this, but I changed my mind." He stated with furrowed eyebrows.

Yucheon began walking with Taehyung around a corner and then making a left and eventually opening up the door to a room which had only a closet, couch, and desk inside of it making the younger raise an eyebrow in confusion, sighing once the older let go of his wrist.

"Go inside."

"Why?"

Yucheon pursed his lips into a line and let out a deep sigh in frustration. Taehyung had no clue why the elder was acting this way.

"We can either do this the easy way or the hard way." Yucheon said, leaning against the wall with crossed arms waiting for the younger to walk inside. He groaned once he didn't.

"Please please Yucheon, I only need to see him for a couple minutes and then I'll come right back I promi-"    "Looks like we're doing it the hard way."  He cut off.

Yucheon got up from the wall and walked over to Taehyung. The said male was going to say something else before he slammed the latters head against the wall, making him pass out and fall to the ground.

-

"Will you Mr. Kim Taehyung, be my partner to the Masquerade ball- no too formal." Jungkook talked to himself while walking along the side walk, stars in the sky. The feeling of sneaking out gave him so much serotonin and relief, also because he was going to see Taehyung again.

"I got you flowers, they're pretty just like yo- ew that's so cheesy" The Prince sighed, clutching the giant bouquet he was holding in his hands.

The male knew where to go since Yucheon supposedly had the biggest house in the town, he also may or may not have stalked Taehyung one time when he was walking home but that's a different subject.

"Taehyung, I really would like it if you'd come to the ball with me and it would mean a lot.. UGH." Jungkook loudly groaned as he kept trying to figure out the right thing to say.

The said male kicked a small pebble that was on the ground while walking, he was so nervous that his hands were shaking. He didn't know why though because he's literally kissed the older before, so he didn't think he should be so nervous.

Jungkook watched as some bikers past by on the road, his attention being thrown off once he saw a very familiar dove flying towards him. "Not you again." Jungkook sarcastically teased with a grin on his face, the grin fading away once Pete began rapidly flying in circles around him.

The dove then began flying back and forth almost like it was trying to tell the Prince something. He remembered how whenever something was wrong, the dove would fly quickly in different directions so this wasn't really a good sign.

"Fuck, I knew his 'brother' was sketchy." Jungkook told to himself as he began sprinting in the direction of the house which he had a clear view of by now.

Black was all Taehyung could see for a long while, that is until he woke up feeling as if he was sitting in a chair. The black haired male was going to rub his eyes, trying to lift his hand up to do so but then realized his hands were tied together.

"What.." He mumbled, looking around the room that he remembered him and Yucheon were standing by before he ended up in this situation. 

Giving the room another look, he blinked his eyes in surprise once he saw Yucheon in the corner of the room on his phone.

"Y-yucheon! Help me out of here!" Taehyung almost yelled to his brother as he began fidgeting and squirming to get his arms out of the ropes that were tied behind the chair. Instead of helping him like he was asked, the said male chuckled as he began walking up to the younger.

"Took you long enough to wake up, almost thought I killed you too soon." 

The black haired immediately paused his squirming, keeping his gaze directly on the ground and not moving an inch of his body. He couldn't believe what he just heard his brother say. "Haha y-you're j-joking.. right?" Taehyung nervously asked while finally looking up at the elder.

"Nope." Yucheon bluntly said, reaching into his back pocket and taking out a knife. "I'll say this again, we can do this the easy way or the hard way."

Taehyung's mouth hung wide open, his arms not even trying to move anymore. Yes he was scared, but he was still trying to process what he heard. He didn't believe it and wasn't going to believe it, Yucheon was his big brother. Right?

"P-put the knife away please y-you're scaring me.."

Instead of a light look on the elders face, he now placed an annoyed and irritated look on his facial features as he started walking up to the now beyond frightened Taehyung who began trying to get out of the ropes again.

"I-I won't go to Jungkook I p-promise just please l-let me go I didn't do a-anything wrong.." He kept begging and begging but it was getting him nowhere. Now his eyes started watering up for the second time that day, but for a completely different reason.

"No no no!" Taehyung uttered when Yucheon got closer. "C-can I at least s-say goodbye to my f-friends and J-jungkook, and Pete p-please.. can I play basketball o-one more time? We can play t-together if you want.. please please please just let me g-go I'm not r-ready to see my parents yet.."

"Damnit Taehyung I don't have a choice! Just let me get this over with." The older yelled, placing a hand onto Taehyung's shoulder and gripping the knife in his hand.

"T-tell Jungkook I love h-him at least.."

Just as he was about to stab the younger, a fist going to Yucheon's head knocked him out to the floor and the knife was quickly taken from him. Instead the person used the knife to run behind Taehyung and cut the ropes open.

The said male didn't even see who helped him because it happened so fast, but he quickly knew who it was once he felt lips meet his own.. his salty tears reaching down to both of the two males mouths.

"Oh my god Tae, bubs oh my god are you okay? You're not hurt right?" Jungkook worriedly kept asking before the said male pointed behind the Prince, the younger turning his head to see Yucheon getting back up on his feet.

Not even letting him stand up straight Jungkook sped over to Yucheon and pinned him against the wall, taking the knife and setting it dangerously close to his neck as a threat so he wouldn't move anywhere.

"You have some explaining to do." The Prince commanded in an intimidating tone, Taehyung standing far back from both of them but still holding onto Jungkook's pinky as he kept crying.
