❝The low-pitched sound of the air conditioner
If I don't have this, I might just fall apart❞

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

Jungkook couldn't enumerate the bursting colors in his head when he thought of the way the prince leaned over in his chest. His heart exploded with a foreign feeling, warmth spreading all over his chest as his mind pondered over it again.

What was happening with him? This feeling was indescribable and foreign which he never felt for anyone before.

His serene thoughts were disturbed when he was woken up by a heavy knock on his door. The door revealed his friend Seokjin.

"Oh it's you...What do you want?" Jungkook asked, his attitude sour since the first day of training.

"Return it to Prince Min and drop this tantrum alright? I miss you soo much." Seokjin said, pushing the heavy pouch into Jungkook's arms.

Jungkook's eyes widened when he saw the pouch and his gaze softened. Even though Seokjin was heavily influenced to do things for money, he always placed his younger brother first.

"A ray of goodness poured upon your head, Seokjinnie hyung?"

"Yes, your coconut head dropped onto mine."

Jungkook chuckled and dropped the pouch aside to pull Seokjin in a hug.

"I missed you too Hyung." Jungkook whispered but Seokjin pushed him quickly and hit his palm on his neck and Jungkook winced in pain.

"Aaah! What was that for?"

"For acting like a bitch for a whole month."

"You know I can hit you back right Hyung?"

"Whatever, I'm getting late for work now. Dinner at yours tonight. " With this the older carried his bag on his back and walked away, leaving Jungkook with a warm smile.

~•༻✦༺•~

"Your Majesty?" Jungkook called as he walked into the cottage of the kingdom. The Prince's cloak and materials were on the grass but he was nowhere to be found.

"Prince Taehyung?"

"Your Majesty?" Jungkook called out again as he walked back from the cottage to the garden. He looked all around and then suddenly he was tackled to the ground.

He fell on the ground with a weight pressing him down.

Taehyung's eyes locked with Jungkook as the younger male rested on top of his trainer, eyes widening in shock and mouth hung agape.

Taehyung, Prince Taehyung was on top of him. On top of him.

Being in this close proximity, Jungkook found out that Taehyung's brown eyes were perfect, uniquely gifted with a mono eyelid and a double eyelid in another, while his cheeks were so round, lips plum colored and hair silky black.

Taehyung could clearly see Jungkook's mole under his bottom lip, just as pretty as it can be, eyes always holding stars in them, his innocence projected in his face, a clear contrast with his muscular body.

The two seemed so perfect in each other's eyes.

"M-master?" Taehyung asked and Jungkook blinked into reality as he was mesmerized by Taehyung's features like usual.

Here we go again, Jungkook feeling things that he should not have even been thinking of.

Taehyung realized how every inch of their bodies was connected, burning fireworks all over. He panicked and stood up quickly and Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows after dusting off his clothes.

"Are you alright, your Majesty? What were you doing up there?" Jungkook asked and checked Taehyung thoroughly who seemed fine.

"I was just.... ah I saw a pretty bird on that tree branch. I followed it but.... Your voice startled the bird. It startled me too and I tripped." Taehyung said sheepishly and Jungkook chuckled softly.

"My apologies."

Taehyung crossed his arms as he walked away into the cottage and Jungkook followed. The Prince sat down on the bench with puffed up cheeks.

"What is it, your Majesty?" Jungkook sat down, kneeling down in front of him.

"That bird, it was so pretty. I really wanted to draw it."

"Really? So our Prince here knows how to draw?"

Taehyung nodded with a boxy smile and showed his palm to Jungkook like an excited child where he had drawn some birds.

Jungkook chuckled at him and took his palms into his hands and traced his fingers on the colors.

His fingertips smoothly brushed against Taehyung's delicate skin of the palms. The softest the touch was, the more the butterflies were coming alive inside the younger's belly.

His eyes noticed Jungkook's features whose lips were forming a smile and two dimples on the sides appeared as the older pressed his lips together and Taehyung could feel the skipping of his heart beat.

Though Jungkook's gestures were just subtle, Taehyung felt shivers down his spine, he quickly pulled his hands and Jungkook looked confused.

Taehyung shyly peered at the older male through side glances and Jungkook shook his head in pure delight, Taehyung was just too irresistible.

"It's beautiful, your Majesty."

"You think so?"

"Of course, your Majesty, you indeed are very talented." He complimented and Taehyung's lips tugged up in a form of a smile again.

"How can you say I'm talented? You aren't aware of art, are you?" Taehyung debated and Jungkook laughed it off.

"Ah your Majesty, I used to draw a lot in childhood." Jungkook said as he stared in the space, memories rushing into his head.

"And?" Taehyung asked with eyes shiny showing how interested he was.

"My mother used to do pottery and I always watched her doing it. She was very talented and also taught me how to draw." Jungkook said and Taehyung gasped as he heard.

"Wow, why are you a trainer then?" He asked and Jungkook sighed.

"Born in a Jeon clan means to be a born warrior. My Mother always taught me how to create a balance between the things we love to do and the things we are meant to do." Jungkook whispered and Taehyung listened to him carefully.

"Your Mother still does pottery?" Taehyung asked unaware and Jungkook just looked away with disappointment.

"She would have if she was here but-" Jungkook bit his bottom lip and sighed before looking away. Taehyung realized what the other meant and quickly apologised.

"Pardon my questions Master." He whispered sadly and Jungkook looked in his direction as he smiled.

"So Prince Taehyung seems to like drawings, huh?" He asked and Taehyung nodded like a kid.

"I adore it. It makes me happy."

"I love it too, it reminds me of my Eomma."

The training sessions were always productive but the best thing Jungkook felt was the way he could easily share words and memories with the Prince, feeling completely at ease.

Taehyung looked at the other one with eyes filled with pure admiration.

"What is it in your hands?" Taehyung asked as he pointed to Jungkook's hand which carried a pouch.

"Ah yes, it's yours, Prince Min. My friend, the Doctor who checked you- Seokjin asked me to return it to you." Jungkook handed him the pouch and Taehyung held it, slowly peeking into it and rolling his eyes when he realized what it was.

"You can have it, I don't need it." Taehyung said uninterestedly but Jungkook placed the pouch on the younger's side.

"It's not fair for us to take it Prince Min. It's yours. Unearned money creates unwanted conflicts which I don't appreciate." Jungkook said and Taehyung was highly impressed by his honesty.

"Are you always this awfully good with words?" Jungkook chuckled and Taehyung laughed with him too.

~•༻✦༺•~

Seokjin gasped as he watched the food on the table with bottles of soju.

"Oh my friend Jungkook! You are my only brother. I know you still love your Hyung."

Seokjin exclaimed but Jungkook rolled his eyes.

He quickly passed the elder male his chopsticks and Seokjin quickly started slurping his noodles with happiness.

"You are my only one." Seokjin fake cried and Jungkook laughed at him.

"Glad you returned the money."

"I don't want the money if it will keep me away from my brother."

Jungkook smiled again but before he could take a bite, he heard the sound of horse carts stopping by.

He quickly stood up and walked to the door to see who it was. He gasped as he found out it was Prince Taehyung stepping out of it.

"P-prince Min? Y-you're here?"

"Can I come in?"

~•༻✦༺•~

Taehyung joined the two on the table and the room was filled with an awkward silence. Taehyung blinked cutely and watched them with round doe eyes.

Jungkook and Seokjin were standing now and Taehyung was the only one sitting. Taehyung finally decided to break the silence.

"Ahh... Sit down, you two." He said and both the elder males bowed before sitting down on the floor by folding their legs.

"So... what's for dinner?" Taehyung asked formally but the two only looked at each other and then down at the ground.

Taehyung had a test in his mind. They had just two bowls of noodles, not even enough for them but here the Prince was asking for dinner.

"We have noodles, your Majesty." Jungkook said, passing Taehyung chopsticks and Taehyung gladly accepted as he peeked into the bowl in front of him.

He took a bite and was impressed by the taste so decided to eat the whole.

"Can I eat it all?"

"We don't-" before Seokjin could say anything, Jungkook poked his elbow to him and Seokjin shut his mouth.

"Eat well your Majesty." And with this Taehyung's eyes shined with so many emotions.

Obviously he knew there was no other food yet Jungkook agreed to give his own. His master won his heart all over again.

Taehyung saw Jungkook smiling at him and he swiftly slurped down the food.

Taehyung burped and laughed timidly after placing the empty bowl on the table. Seokjin was busy eating his food when Taehyung got up to leave.

"Thank you for having me." He said and walked to the door now and Jungkook followed him.

"Your Majesty?" Jungkook asked at his door and Taehyung turned around, slowly handing Jungkook something.

"Must say, the food lured me in."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, your Majesty."

"Actually, I couldn't wait until tomorrow to give you this. Open it up."

Jungkook was confused when he was handed a small bag. He opened it up slowly to see a dark silk garment, beautifully stitched with hue of gold shimmering threads.

'Jeon Jungkook
The Dragon Warrior'

The words were etched onto the expensive cloth with the logo of his clan- the mighty dragons with swords.

"I got this made specifically for you."

The young Prince won the heart of his Master all over again. Taehyung felt contented when small tears of joy rolled down Jungkook's face.

No one had ever done something like this to him. The designed garment reminded him of his late mother who loved to stitch designs for her son.

The trainer was indeed much delighted, the rising hunger being completely submerged by the sweet gift. It felt so soft and warm in hands.

The servant who travelled along with the Prince walked into Jungkook's home now with a package of food supplies.

The prince couldn't let his master starve for the night, could he?

"Prince Min, I....."

"Address me by name from now on, Jungkook."

"I can not thank you enough for this, Prince Min."

"Thank you who?"

"Thank you, Taehyung."

And a smile erupted on Taehyung's lips which encouraged Jungkook to tug his lips up in form of a warm smile too.

The connection that shyly peeked out once in a while between them now walked out proudly in the fresh air. The two men fluttered in their minds with the blooming bond.

They were more than they thought they actually were.
