TREATMENT CHAMBER**

Emperor Jungkook entered the room with a worried look on his face, the royal physician was still in, talking to Lady Miran.

"Your majesty" They both bowed immediately.

The emperor looked at Jimin sleeping on the bed before facing the physician

"What happened to him? Is he sick?" He asked.

Lady Miran immediately walked out.

"Your majesty, I don't know if this is a good news but....Jimin is pregnant" The physician said.

Emperor Jungkook raised his brows like he didn't hear that.

"What?"

"He's...pregnant your majesty. He's three weeks pregnant" She repeated and the emperor's eyes widened.

He looked at Jimin on the bed again, pregnant? How? He was almost so sure that he really didn't impregnate him, how the heck did he got pregnant??

The emperor let out a scoff.

"He will be fine, right?" He asked.

"Of course your majesty, he will be fine once he's awake"

Emperor Jungkook sighed and walked out of the room.

**

"Huh?? His majesty........want...me to leave?" Duri stuttered.

"Your days are over here and that was his decision" Namjoon told him.

Duri swallowed.

"I need to talk to him for the last time....."

"I'm sorry but you can't, he's not really in a good mood tonight"

Duri blinked out tears.

"But that's not fair, I can't just leave this way, I can't" He shook his head.

"You should get ready, your palanquin will take off quite early in the morning" Namjoon said and walked out of the room.

Duri kept on crying his eyes out.

SERVANTS QUARTER**

"He's pregnant" Lady Miran told Yoonie and Yoongi as they kept on pressurizing her to tell them what happened to Jimin.

"What?!!!" They screamed.

"Shhhhh" Lady Miran said and they kept quiet at once.

"Nobody else is allowed to hear about this, be careful" She said

"But, a slave shouldn't get pregnant for his lord, he's in trouble. I'm scared" Yoonie said.

Lady Miran shook her head.

"I don't think you should"

"What was the emperor's reaction? Was he angry?" Yoongi asked.

"I have no idea, but let's hope for the best. Jimin will be fine" Lady Miran said.

"I don't want anything to happen to Young master" Yoongi said in tears.

"Nothing is going to happen, hold it in" Yoonie hugged him.

Lady Miran sighed out.

ROYAL CHAMBER**

The emperor was busy pacing around when the deity appeared, sitting on a chair.

"Why are you so disturbed?" She asked.

The emperor immediately faced her.

"Why is he pregnant? How?" He asked.

"Isn't this what you want...."

"That's not my point right now, I'm asking how he got pregnant" Emperor Jungkook snapped.

"I didn't do it alone, it's all because of his pure love for you Jungkook" The deity replied.

"But why now?" The emperor asked.

"I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about, why now"

"I couldn't control it...but he's going to be in danger...."

"Exactly my point! Taehyung is out there, ready to go to any extent to destroy me and the people around me, what do you think is going to happen of he find out about this? Why do you do things at the wrong time alone? Just why?!" The emperor yelled.

"You will protect him" The deity replied.

"You promised to protect him..."

"Yes I would, but his child? What if I end up leaving him alone? What pain do you think is up to that?"

"I don't think there's anything you can do right now Jungkook"

Emperor Jungkook shook his head.

"I see you don't know what you're talking about, he's going to be in pain, I don't want that to happen to him, I would hate that so much" He said.

NEXT DAY_BORAH'S SUITE**

"My lady...I think Jimin is pregnant" The guard blurted out.

"What?!!" Borah stood up with wide eyes.

"Pregnant? How? Where did you hear that from?" She asked.

"I overheard the court lady telling two servants"  he replied.

"That's not possible, never, it's not going to happen! He can't be pregnant" Borah said almost stammering.

She sat down again and shook her head.

"How did his majesty react?" She asked.

"I have no idea my lady, but do you think he will really allow him keep the pregnancy?"

"Go find out more, find out everything going on and tell me, go!" Borah yelled.

"Duri left the palace"

Borah smiled.

"I knew he won't last" She said.

"I will leave now" The guard bowed and walked out.

"Jimin....just pray the emperor doesn't accept that thing inside you. Or I'm going to kill you myself" Borah mumbled, folding her fist.

JIMIN'S ROOM**

Jimin was in tears, Lady Miran sitting next to him. The emperor have refused to allow him into his chamber since morning.

"Jimin can you stop crying?" Lady Miran asked.

"How can I stop crying? He doesn't want to see me anymore, why did I get pregnant? I thought....he would be happy...." Jimin said in tears.

"Jimin, you need to calm down. His majesty need some time to think of what to do, the ministers really can't know about this now, a slave should never get pregnant for his lord" Lady Miran said.

"Then, what will happen to me now?" Jimin asked.

"Let's wait until the emperor decides" Miran said, pushing back the stool of food to him.

"Before then, you need to eat and be strong" She said.

"I don't want to eat, I will eat when I get to talk to him" Jimin mumbled and wiped his tears.

"You really won't do that, you're endangering your child....."

"You can't call it that when my lord doesn't even want to see me. He told Namjoon not to let me in earlier, it hurts" Jimin said, tearing up again.

Lady Miran sighed out.

"I'm sure everything will be fine, just calm down please" She said.

"Please eat, should I feed you??"

Jimin shook his head and finally picked up his spoon to eat.

"Good boy" Lady Miran smiled and stroked his hair.

NIGHT_IN THE WOODS**

Taehyung was walking around the woods, his two hands behind him looking for his next prey.

Eoduun appeared in front of him, he ignored him and kept on walking.

"You really don't think you can win against Jungkook right?" He asked.

Taehyung frowned and faced him back.

"Say that again and you will find your head on the ground" He threatened angrily.

"But I have the secret....how you can end him completely with no traces, just the way you disappeared years ago" Eoduun said.

Taehyung was quiet for a minute but the he started walking away.

"I am telling you the truth!! You can't end him, he's now an immortal!! Only the deity can take him away!!" Eoduun screamed.

Taehyung sped to him and grabbed his neck.

"I don't care!!! I will end him with my own hands!!" He growled.

"Quit lying to yourself, you're not even half as strong as he is, let me help you" Eoduun said.

Taehyung started strangling him but he disappeared from his grip.

"Rrrrrrrhhhhh" Taehyung growled loudly and the whole woods shook.

"I'm going to end him my own self, I don't need that!!!" He said loudly and angrily. 

"Jungkook" he fold his fist.

BACK IN BAEKJE PALACE_JIMIN'S ROOM**

Yongbok entered the room and met Jimin sitting down, staring at himself in the mirror.

"Hey" Yongbok called and Jimin turned back.

"My prince" He stood up.

Yongbok moved closer and hugged him.

"I'm so happy for you" He said.

"Huh?"

"Lady Miran told me" Yongbok said.

"But....."

"You seriously aren't thinking of keeping it from me right?" Yongbok frowned.

"No...but not now" Jimin said.

They both sat down.

"Are you worried about my hyung?" Yongbok asked and Jimin sighed.

"I know my hyung can't do anything that would hurt you Jimin, believe me" Yongbok said.

"But...I'm scared" Jimin said.

Yongbok pat his hair.

"Don't be scared, you will be fine. I promise" He said and Jimin nodded.

"I will believe you" He said and Yongbok chuckled.

They were still talking when they heard a knock on the door, immediately they stopped talking and exchanged glances.

Jimin stood up and went to open, revealing Namjoon by the door.

"His majesty summoned you" He said and Jimin's heart skipped a beat.

Yongbok came over.

"Is hyung angry?" He asked.

"I really have no idea prince" Namjoon replied.

Yongbok cupped Jimin's cheeks.

"Everything will be fine, go" he said.

Jimin smiled and nodded before following Namjoon.

Yongbok sighed and also left his room.

"Are you okay?" Hyunjin joined him.

"Where were you all day?" Yongbok asked.

"You didn't call for me" Hyunjin replied.

"Just because I said you shouldn't come to me, are you really rejecting me now?" Yongbok stopped walking.

"No" Hyunjin muttered.

"If you're not rejecting me...then what is this" He asked.

Hyunjin leaned closer to him and pecked his lips.

"This is what it is" he smiled.

Yongbok wanted to kiss him again but Hyunjin covered his mouth.

"You don't wanna get caught" he said and Hyunjin smiled.

"Let's go to my suite....."

"Not now, let's meet tonight" Hyunjin winked at him and walked away.

Yongbok almost screamed as he ran to his suite.

ROYAL CHAMBER**

Jimin walked into the room and met the emperor standing, he bite his lips before calling him.

"My lord"

Emperor Jungkook faced him.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"You're asking me that just now? You ignored me all day" Jimin said in tears.

The emperor said nothing.

"Don't cry" He said and Jimin wiped his tears.

"Why am I here?" He asked.

"We need to talk about....that" The emperor said, looking at his tummy.

Jimin touched his tummy.

"It's not the right time Jimin...."

"What do you mean by it's not the right time? You said you've wanted this all your life! You told me! So why are you going back on your words now?! Why!" Jimin cried.

"Because I don't want you to get hurt, can you listen to me just this once?"

"Why should I listen? Who's going to hurt me? Your brother?"

"Jimin you can't understand"

"Then make me understand at least!! Make me understand why I can't have your child like you want, do you want someone else? Borah?"

The emperor said nothing.

"This isn't the right time" He uttered.

"Then.....what are you planning? What should I do now?" Jimin asked.

"Getting rid of it" The emperor said and Jimin's eyes widened.
