The moment the emperor's lips landed on Jimin's lips, Jimin's eyes widened, did Jungkook just kissed him?? What he's always wanted finally happened.

The emperor moved back after just some seconds, he looked away and Jimin followed his face with his eyes.

"My lord...what's wrong?" He asked.

"I'm not supposed to do that" He muttered and took a step to walk away, Jimin immediately grabbed his hand and he faced him again.

"Please do it, please" He pleaded.

"Why........"

"I want it too, my Lord. I've always wanted to feel your lips on mine, I want it, please" Jimin muttered.

"You made me loose full control of myself, who are you exactly?" The emperor asked and touched his lips.

"I'm your slave my Lord" Jimin replied

Emperor Jungkook shook his head.

"I'm not supposed to treat a slave this way, I'm not supposed to feel uneasy because you were sad, I'm not supposed to" he said

"Then, I'm glad I make you feel that way my lord, because I feel just the same way" Jimin replied.

"You really know the right words to say every time" He muttered and his lips landed on him once again.

Jimin was nervous, but at the same time excited, he opened his mouth for him to get his sweet taste and Jungkook did the same.

Their lips brushed against each other, exploring before locking fully, the emperor's lips touched Jimin's own and devoured them in an impatient way, Jimin's lips were so soft and tender to get slow with.

Jimin moaned as their tongues interlocked tasting themselves, his hand traveled around his body, he could feel total warmness all over his own body, his clenching lungs, his pumping heart, his tingly stomach.

He wrapped his arms around Jungkook's neck, moving more into him as if he was going to run away, the emperor curled his arms around Jimin's waists and gave his butt a squeeze.

Their breaths were so rapid and filled with sensations.

The kiss was so heated and exploring, even after minutes, they still didn't break the kiss.

Emperor Jungkook was the one who broke the kiss.

Jimin exhaled loudly.

"Hey why didn't you move back? You're breathless" He scolded.

"I don't know when it would happen again, I can't miss this chance"  Jimin mumbled.

The emperor let out his unusual sexy smile and pulled him into a hug.

"You're cute" he muttered and ruffled his hair.

"Thank you my Lord" Jimin smiled, burying his face into his chest.

"You smell so good" Jimin said and the emperor broke the hug.

"I shouldn't have said a word" Jimin pouted.

The emperor was about speaking when they heard Namjoon's voice.

"Your majesty, Young master Duri is awake" he said

He looked at Jimin.

"Then......goodnight my lord" He bowed.

He nodded before going out, Jimin also left after that.

••DURI'S SUITE••

Duri was already sitting down on his bed when the emperor came in, his eyes lit up and he smiled.

"Your majesty" He called.

"How are you feeling?" The emperor asked and moved closer to him.

Duri immediately wrapped his arms around him and hugged him while sitting down.

Emperor Jungkook didn't move, neither does he hug him back.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Can't I just stay this way?" Duri asked.

"We need to talk" The emperor replied.

"It's all your fault your majesty, it's because you never looked at me, you make me feel like no matter what I do, how much I try to please you, you're never going to look at me, I was jealous. And when the mistress started talking to me, I thought she wanted to help me, I didn't know....."

"Enough" The emperor groaned and Duri sniffs in his tears.

"I'm sorry your majesty, I'm really sorry" Duri said in tears.

"I said it's okay....."

"I'm afraid you might send me out of the palace, you see? It's my first time meeting you but I think I fell for you at first sight, I don't want to go back home, I don't want to loose you either, so please,don't throw me out" he cried.

The emperor sighed out and pulled his hands down from hugging him.

"You're the one who got hurt, so why would I throw you out? And besides, you still have days left to use here before my final decision, so you should be at peace and wait until then" He said.

Duri wiped his tears and exhaled.

"Thank you so much your majesty" He said and the emperor nodded.

"Dinner will be brought soon, don't worry this one is safe, so eat and have a goodnight rest" The emperor said and made to leave.

"Your majesty" Duri grabbed his robe and he turned back.

"Is there a problem?" He asked.

Duri bite his lips and released him.

"I wish you can stay a little bit more, since I got here, we haven't spend enough time together, so how are you doing to figure out the kind of person I am? If you let me go in the end, you might regret it your majesty because you're not giving me any chance to prove myself to you that I'm worthy of being the Empress of this empire your majesty, so please give me a chance" He said, looking into his eyes.

The emperor was quiet for a while before letting out a sigh.

"What are the things you want to do? To spend time together?" He questioned and Duri smiled.

"Let's always have dinner together" He said.

"Dinner" The emperor repeated in a mutter and took his lips in.

"Also...I'm a good horse rider, how about a race together? Then...let's take a walk under the moon at night, it's always fun. Then.........."

"Let's do those first, but don't you think they are too much........."

"No they are not, we can say I'm your fiancee right now your majesty, until the last day, I'm your fiancee so we have a lot to do together" Duri cut in.

Emperor Jungkook sighed out and nodded.

"Fine, let's do all that" He said and Duri smiled.

"Thank you!!" He said loudly.

••JIMIN'S ROOM••

"I still can't believe lady Borah would do all that" Yoongi shook his head.

"But I'm more happy because the emperor trusted you, what would have happened?" Yoonie sighed.

The door suddenly opened and Yongbok rushed in.

"Jimin are you okay?!" He asked.

Jimin smiled and stood up, they hugged each other tightly.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you, I'm sorry Jimin" Yongbok said, still hugging him.

"You don't have to be sorry, I'm fine" Jimin said.

Yongbok broke the hug and sighed out.

"It was Hyunjin who told me just now, I wonder why I didn't hear a thing, I'm so sad" He pouted.

Jimin smiled and touched his cheek

"Thank goodness you didn't hear, you would have caused some drama" He said and Yongbok laughed.

"But I'm happy hyung handled it well, Borah has always been shameless so I'm not surprised, but why would she try to make you look like the bad person!" Yongbok scoffed.

"She want both Jimin and Young master Duri out so she would be with the emperor" Yoonie said

"I will never allow my hyung be with that lady, never" Yongbok scoffed.

"Anyways, Jimin, you had dinner already?" He asked.

"No" Jimin shook his head.

"Let's go eat together" Yongbok said and Jimin got up immediately.

"Goodnight" He waved.

"Goodnight? The prince just want you to eat with him!" Yoonie shouted.

"He's sleeping over too!" Yongbok said and ran out of the room with Jimin.

"Those two" Yoongi scoffed.

••NEXT DAY~ PALACE PRISON••

It was around noon, Borah was sitting down on the cold prison floor, the emperor haven't ordered for her release yet and she was beginning to feel worried.

Her under eyes were filled with dark circles, she didn't even blink all night, she couldn't sleep.

She was still sitting down there and thinking when suddenly she heard the guards announcing the arrival of the emperor, she immediately stood up and rushed to the door.

Emperor Jungkook appeared with Namjoon beside him, Borah could see how cold and angry he was staring at her, she was curious, is he mad at her because Duri almost died or because of Jimin?

"Your majesty" Borah bowed, her voice shattering.

"I'm not here to release you Borah" The emperor said and her eyes widened.

"Your majesty I didn't do it" She broke into tears

"I will only release you if you tell me the truth, then you apologize to both Duri and Jimin, but if you don't, you might have to spend more days here Borah. You know what I can do, don't you?" The emperor said coldly.

Borah swallowed, she knew the emperor caught her, she doesn't have a choice that very moment.

She broke into tears.

"Forgive me your majesty!!"

Namjoon sighed and shook his head.

"Why did you do it?" The emperor asked.

"They are taking your attention from me your majesty, I was too jealous I couldn't control myself, I don't want anyone else with you, I was just jealous" Borah confessed tearfully.

*You make me feel like no matter what I do, how much I try to please you, you're never going to look at me, I was jealous* the emperor remembered Duri's words again.

He had mentioned that he was jealous too, and now Borah.

Now he was wondering if Jimin always feel the same whenever he's with Borah.

The emperor sighed out.

"That doesn't justify your action Borah, you tried killing a person and framed someone else, that's wickedness" 

"I'm sorry" Borah fell on his knees.

"You're withdrawn from your position for now Borah" The emperor said and Namjoon's eyes widened.

Borah gasped.

"Your majesty!! You can't do that! I'm going to die" Borah cried.

"If you make me mad, it will be for ever Borah.... Namjoon let her apologize to Duri and Jimin as soon as she's out and make sure every maids  serving are taken away until I give you my words again" The emperor said.

"I understand, your majesty" Namjoon bowed.

The emperor walked away without sparing Borah another glance while she kept crying bitterly on the floor

"Everyday is for the thief, one day is for the devil.....or what's that adage again?" Namjoon asked in a mockery voice as he opened the prison gate.

"You can come out but if you want to enjoy more natural breeze in there, then please feel free to spend the night" Namjoon said.

Borah walked out slowly and Namjoon chuckled.

"Borah, can you now walk?" He asked

"What did you just call me?!!" Borah screamed.

"You're not his Majesty's mistress for now Borah, do you have a problem with your ears or something? When your position is back, then I will gladly respect you, that's if you respect yourself, you know I'm quite crazy. Now please walk, you stinks" Namjoon said and Borah broke into more tears, walking in front of Namjoon.

★

••ROYAL CHAMBER~ NIGHT TIME••

Jimin and Duri watched while standing as Borah stood in front of them also, The emperor stood separately also.

"Borah, you're wasting my time" he sighed.

"I'm sorry" Borah bowed.

Jimin's eyes widened, he wasn't expecting that at all, Namjoon had came to call him but he never imagined him hearing Borah apologizing to him, never.

"I'm sorry Young master Duri, and.....Jimin" Borah said with shaking lips.

"It's fine, as long as you've reflect on your wrong doings" Duri smiled and the emperor nodded then looked at Jimin.

"Your apology isn't genuine my lady, but I'm going to accept your apology" Jimin muttered

The Emperor chuckled silently and Borah bite her lips hard.

"You can go now Borah" The emperor said

Borah bowed and immediately walked out.

Jimin turned to the Emperor to thank him but almost immediately, Duri went into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Jimin's heart skipped a beat, he swallowed and his eyes met with the emperor's own.

"Thank you for doing that, now I'm so happy" Duri said, still hugging him.

"Goodnight my Lord" Jimin immediately bowed and ran out.

He got outside and grabbed his chest.

"Stop it Jimin, that's his fiancee and you're just his slave" He said to himself and walked away.

"Your majesty" Duri called back in the chamber.

"Hmm?"

"Can I spend the night here with you please?"

"Why? You only mentioned dinner together, not sleeping together" The emperor replied.

"We finished dinner already and I still don't want to leave you" Duri muttered.

"Maybe next time" He replied.

"Then how about a walk, I just don't want to leave you yet" Duri said and the emperor sighed.

"Fine" He nodded.

Duri wanted to hug him again.

"Let's go" Jungkook immediately said, pushing Duri off slightly.

"Thank you" He smiled and led the way.

The emperor's mind was with Jimin even while walking with Duri.

★

••JIMIN'S ROOM~ ABOUT TWO HOURS LATER••

It's almost midnight but still Jimin couldn't sleep, he kept thinking about the emperor and Duri every second while rolling from one side of the bed to another.

'Are they still together?'

'What if they sleep together?'

'Does the emperor like Duri?'

"Does that mean he will really marry him?'

'What will happen to him then?'

Countless questions filled his mind and he couldn't just help it.

"Why are you thinking so loud?" He suddenly heard the emperor voice and he chuckled.

"Now I'm even hearing his voice, you're a goner Jimin" he sighed.

"Really?" The voice came again and Jimin turned.

The emperor was really standing there, leaning on the wall.

"My lord!"  He screamed and jumped out of bed.

"Why....why...are you here?" He stuttered.

"You've been thinking about me, I couldn't rest in my chamber" The emperor replied and Jimin bite his lips.

"I'm sorry my lord" He muttered.

"I see you also feel that way" The emperor sighed and he looked up.

"How??"

"Borah and Duri......what they felt. But then... Don't feel that way, I can see it leads humans astray to do things they aren't supposed to do" The emperor said.

"What about Young master Duri? You left him?" Jimin asked without looking at him.

"He's in his suite, I can't sleep beside anyone aside you Jimin" The emperor replied and he looked up.

"Really?? You didn't kiss him either, did you?" He asked.

"No I didn't, I can't do that" The emperor replied and Jimin smiled.

"Let's sleep, I really need to sleep deeply tonight" He said.

"Oh, let's go......" Jimin said

"We are here" The emperor smiled.

Jimin looked around and found them in the emperor's room, he smiled brightly.

"I couldn't sleep either, that was why I went for you" The emperor said and pulled Jimin on the bed right beside him, he pulled him more closer.

Jimin started stroking his hair. 

"You're the only one who can do this Jimin, just you" The emperor muttered and Jimin smiled.

"I really want to be the only one who can do everything for you" He said and the emperor looked at him.

"Really?"

Jimin nodded.

"My time here.......might be over soon" The emperor said and Jimin was confused.

"Huh?" He asked.

"The only thing no one has ever given me.....can you do that? Even though it's not possible" The emperor said.

"What is it my lord" Jimin asked.

"An Heir" The emperor muttered and Jimin's eyes widened.

"A child Jimin........I badly want one, I can't have one but still.....I want one" He added.
