Jungkook held Yucheon closer to the wall and started lightly poking at his neck with the knife causing the oldest to start speaking.

"Fuck, I didn't want to kill him you dumbass." The male admitted as he tried to get away from the knife, only making his neck poke at it more. "So someone sent you?" The Prince interrogated.

Taehyung's hands were now empty because Jungkook was now completely pinning Yucheon down, so all he could do was hug himself as he watched the scary scene.

"Possibly."

"Who?!" Jungkook yelled. When the older wouldn't answer he would dig the knife a little deeper, and pulled it back once he started talking again.

Yucheon chuckled which confused the younger. "That's something you can figure out on your own."

"Looks like we're doing this the hard way." The Prince mocked while he began running the flat side of the knife across his neck. He smirked to himself once he could sense Yucheon would start talking again, until Taehyung had cut him off.

"K-kook don't hurt him.. he's my b-brother." The said male said through tears as he kept clutching onto himself. 

After both of the males heard what Taehyung said, Jungkook stared his 'brother' directly in the eyes. "You're not his brother are you?"   

"N-no he is! I- I have family t-that's alive, remember! I'm not a-alone.. I have a big brother-" The black haired desperately responded even though neither of the two were focusing on him.

"If you take your filthy hands off me I'll tell you everything." 

"Okay, but you're not going anywhere." Jungkook stated, keeping his eyes on Yucheon as he walked over to the door that was pretty near them and closing it. The Prince walked back and stood directly in front of him to make sure he didn't think of moving anywhere.

"Speak."

The oldest placed a 'pissed' look onto his face, looking at Taehyung before looking back at the raven haired Prince. 

"Your mom paid and sent me." 

Jungkook made it visible that he gripped the knife tighter in his hands. "'Speak' doesn't mean lie." he aggressively stated causing Yucheon to roll his eyes. "There's no point in telling you the truth because you won't believe me."

"Why would my mom send you to kidnap and kill Taehyung? That makes no damn sense he hasn't done anything wrong." The Prince said in disbelief. 

"Put the pieces together." Yucheon calmly said. "Your mom is obviously homophobic so why would she like the fact that Taehyung likes you and you like Taehyung? Don't you think she'd want him gone?"

"But that's not a reason to-" Jungkook started, but stopped once he decided to try to put the pieces together as well. Once he realized that this definitely was possible, his eyes widened and he set his gaze onto the ground in shock.

Taehyung on the other hand still wanted to make sure of one thing. "B-but, you are my real brother r-right?" 

"Oh come on Taehyung, are you that naive? Of course not."

"B-bu- But-" 

Just as he thought he was done crying for the day, another round of tears started to well up in his eyes before running down his face. He had many bad days but this, this was the worst of them all. 

He was so happy to think and know he had other family, but realizing it was just a trick to get him killed hurt like hell. It hurt worse than anything he's ever felt before.

Just like the day his house and church burned to the ground, Taehyung sunk to his knees while clutching his small torso in pain. Jungkook thought he himself was hurt, but looking at the latter he couldn't even imagine what he was going through.

"You two are so fucking oblivious, why would you think I'd want to kill someone and burn a whole town up just for the fun of it?" 

Immediately the Prince and Taehyung arose their gaze from the ground and looked Yucheon directly in the eyes, Taehyung's eyes more shocked and Jungkook's filled with rage.

"What did you just say?" The said male pinned the older again and brought the knife back up to his throat making Yucheon squint his eyes. Wasn't supposed to say that  he thought to himself.

"That did not come out the way I wanted it too.." The oldest mumbled to himself while looking off to the side only making Jungkook more angry.

Taehyung seriously could not believe the sentences and words he was hearing right now. As much as he tried to he just couldn't and instead he only cried harder onto the shirt that he got from the Prince. He trusted the older so much until of course now.

Yucheon sighed when he realized now he had to explain that as well.

"The Queen thought if Taehyung's house burned down that he would leave town, the Church and other stores were an accident because I only targeted the house."

Jungkook chuckled out of complete disbelief. "At this point you probably are partners in crime with Jimin or something." he said as a joke, but quickly took back his sarcastic chuckle once Yucheon stayed silent.

"N-no.." Taehyung stuttered as he was still on his knees.

"Oops, you caught me." Yucheon mocked while putting his hands up as if he was getting arrested. 

"Talk or else your head comes off."

Once again Jungkook poked the knife at the elders neck making him and Taehyung flinch a little, but relaxed once he slightly pulled the object back. He didn't want to talk about this one because most of it was his fault.

"You win." The male lightly grabbed the Prince's wrist and navigated the knife away from his face so he could speak. 

"I made a bet with Jimin that I'd buy him whatever he wanted if he had sex with Taehyung, I didn't think he'd do it in public without consent though. That was completely his idea."

"Shit.." Jungkook mumbled to himself once he heard Taehyung start to cry louder, his whimpers turning into choked out sobs as the Prince ran over to the latter.. picking him up off the ground and holding him in his arms.

While Taehyung was still in his arms, Jungkook began pulling out something from his front pocket.

"This'll be fun to show my dad." The Prince said as he whipped out his phone, showing Yucheon that he recorded the whole conversation. "You can go, the sheriff will find you eventually."

The two males watched as the oldest tugged at his hair in frustration before exiting the room. They would've celebrated if they were in a different scenario and mood, but Taehyung was still as sad and disappointed as he was a few minutes ago. And Jungkook still felt like killing Yucheon.

-

After calming themselves down a bit, both decided to get away from the house and go somewhere else to cool off and regain themselves. They ended up at a park which wasn't too far from the town, but it wasn't in an area considered apart of the kingdom.

Taehyung and Jungkook were both sitting on the edge of a slide with Pete on the ground beside them. The older was leaning his head against the Prince's head who was softly smiling at the gesture. 

The last thing he cared about right now was getting caught since he basically wasn't even in the Kingdom.

"Just when I think I've gone through all of the pain I can possibly go through, something else happens. It never stops." Taehyung sadly said as he played with the fabric on his pants. "I wish It would just stop and I could live happily ever after."

Jungkook nodded his head in understandment while running his hand through the elders soft, fluffy, hair. 

The Prince made sure Taehyung's head didn't fall off of his shoulder as he reached onto the ground, picking up an object with shaky hands once again. He quietly cleared his throat before speaking.

"This is really bad timing.." Jungkook sadly chuckled while clutching the bouquet of flowers in his hand. This is not how he wanted this to go, this was actually the worst it could've gone. 

"And this might not be apart of your idea for a 'happily ever after', but maybe this is our own little story. Maybe everything bad is happening for a reason, and maybe there is a happy ending to all of this. A happily ever after for the both of us, together.." 

The Prince slowly and nervously stretched out his hand with the flowers in it to the older who had his head off of the youngers shoulder and now blushing like a maniac.  All of this reminded him of the letter he read earlier that day.

"W-will you go to the ball with me?" 

Taehyung was just going to excitedly agree, that is until he noticed the dove was still walking around on the ground which gave him a better idea.

"Can Pete come?" He giggled while asking, smiling once he saw Jungkook frown. "I just wanted it to be you and me.."

He didn't think the Prince would take him seriously, but he found it quite adorable to say the least. 

"I'm just kidding Gguk, of course I'll go with you." Taehyung smiled, wrapping his arms around Jungkook's neck while he was still clutching the bouquet. 

The Prince obviously didn't take Taehyung seriously, but he wanted to pretend like he did to tease him. So instead of telling him that, Jungkook leaned in with a smile on his face and connected both of their smiles together as they both held each other on the red slide.
