"Then.....you know how to save him, I told you already" Taehyung said.

"I will become yours, that's what you said" Jimin uttered without thinking.

Taehyung smiled, but not at him.

"You heard him, what do you think?" He asked.

Jimin's eyes widened and turned back immediately, his heart skipped a beat when he saw an angry looking Jungkook.

"What do you think you're doing?" He asked.

"My Lord....." Jimin went to him and instantly, they vanished together and appeared in the Emperor's Chamber.

"My Lord...."

"I asked you a question!! What was that about?" The emperor snapped angrily and Jimin froze.

"I was...just.....doing what I can....."

"Who asked you to do something?! And now the only thing you can do is offering yourself to him?! Does that even make any sense to you?!!" He yelled at him.

"I'm sorry" Jimin muttered and wiped his tears.

"That cry isn't going to get me this time, you acted senselessly Jimin, I'm greatly disappointed. You should leave" the emperor said and left him in the room.

Jimin bite his lips and sat down on the bed.

"I'm really stupid, why did I even suggest that?" He asked himself and lay on the bed, he wasn't planning to leave like the emperor said anyway, he was going to wait for him till he returns.

Bosong was sitting alone in the passage way when Yoonie showed up, he seems to be looking for someone before he saw Bosong.

"Bosong" He called and Bosong looked up right away.

"Have you seen Yoongi? I've been looking him" Yoonie said.

"Isn't he in his room?"

"No" Yoonie shook his head and sat down

"He's been stalking Namjoon for days" Bosong chuckled.

"Can't believe that boy is serious about it" Yoonie also laughed.

"But I hope he reciprocate, I've never seen him smile. It might be difficult" Bosong muttered.

"He's Yoongi, do you even have to worry that much? I trust him" Yoonie said.

Bosong laughed at that.

NIGHT_TRAINING GROUND**

Namjoon was training all alone, only the sound of his sword could be heard, and then his breaths while moving and jumping from one side to another.

Behind one of the pillars, Yoongi stood there watching him secretly. His eyes following every moves of his, he stood there for minutes close to an hour while Namjoon trained. Until he finally stopped and took off his shirt.

Yoongi gasped and immediately covered his mouth, but still he couldn't look away.

"So hot" he mumbled.

"Never knew my stalker is a pervert" Namjoon said without turning to him.

Yoongi looked around to see who he was referring to but he was the only one there. He walked out from the pillar's back.

"Are you talking to me?" He asked.

Namjoon faced him.

"How many stalkers do I have?" He asked and Yoongi's heart skipped a beat.

"No answer?"

"I.....I wasn't....I didn't....I .....didn't stalk...I ....." He bite his lips when he couldn't find the right words to put together.

Namjoon scoffed.

"I'm sorry" Yoongi mumbled.

"Why?"

"For stalking, I was just curious" Yoongi said boldly this time.

"Now that's more like you, why talking like you're calm?" Namjoon asked.

"Do you like it or you hate it? My boldness?" Yoongi asked.

"What if I hate it?"

"I will stop acting bold before you" Yoongi replied.

"Why?"

"Because I like you" he replied.

"That's fast" Namjoon said.

"No it's not, I've known for a while but you're just finding out, I can say it's late that you're just finding out now" Yoongi said and Namjoon scoffed.

"Well you're not my type" He muttered and took his sword on the ground.

"What's your type like?" Yoongi followed him as he walked away.

"Someone who doesn't follow me when I walk" Namjoon said and Yoongi stopped walking.

Namjoon looked at him and smirked.

"You lied!!" Yoongi screamed and ran after him again.

Just then, Namjoon saw a guard jumping back into the palace, he was obviously out. He looked left and right suspiciously his face was covered.

"That bastard" Namjoon gritted his teeth and gave his sword to Yoongi, he immediately wore his shirt back and ran after him, the guard noticed Namjoon coming and he also took to his heels.

In a minutes, Namjoon caught him and pushed him against the wall, he punched his tummy and kicked his leg bone which made him fall helplessly on the floor.

Namjoon moved closer and grabbed him by the head, he removed what covered his face.

"Commander, I'm sorry......." A punch landed on his face and he immediately stopped talking.

"Where are you coming from?" Namjoon asked.

The guard swallowed without saying a word.

"Tell me!!" Namjoon yelled.

"Lady Borah" he replied and Namjoon's eyes widened.

"Why?"

"I went to break our agreement, I swear I didn't do anything else"

"Agreement? What agreement?" Namjoon asked curiously.

"She want me to always tell her what happens in the palace....."

Namjoon moved back a bit before give him a back kick on his neck, his neck became stiff immediately.

"I will be watching you from now on, you better be telling the truth about the agreement breaking or you will face his majesty's wrath" Namjoon said and walked away.

He met Yoongi where he left him.

"You should have dropped it and leave" he said and Yoongi smiled.

"Let's be friends" He said.

"I don't make friends with weak people" He muttered and walked away.

Yoongi bite his lips, staring at him till he was out of sight.

"Can't believe he's crushing on that ice" Hyunjin said beside Yongbok, they've been watching them.

"Why?" Yongbok asked.

"He's hard to read, he doesn't even smile. He takes his job so hard" Hyunjin replied.

"I guess that's why hyung likes him, they are both the same. Until Jimin made him fall" Yongbok said and Hyunjin chuckled.

"So you think it will be the same with Namjoon when he falls in love?" He asked.

"Yes"

"No, I'm sure he will try so hard to avoid anything that will make him weak" Hyunjin said.

"Hyung tried too, but it didn't work. Jimin is a typical witch, Borah was restless till she was finally drove out" Yongbok smirked.

"What's this talk? How about something else?" Hyunjin asked.

"You're such a big bad baby" Yongbok chuckled.

"I tasted once and now I can't stop wanting it" Hyunjin carried him.

"Hyung is going to kill us both" Yongbok laughed.

"I will die for the both of us" Hyunjin said and took him away.

**

Yoongi entered his room and met Yoonie already waiting, they stay in the same room now.

"Where have you been?"

"Stalking and finally got rejected" Yoongi mumbled and fell on the bed.

"Namjoon rejected you?" Yoonie asked and Yoongi nodded.

"But I'm not giving up, never" He mumbled.

ROYAL CHAMBER**

The emperor finally returned to the chamber, he walked into the room and met Jimin sleeping innocently on the bed, he sighed out and went into the bathroom.

He returned to the bedroom minutes later, looking more handsome in his sleep robe. Jimin was still sleeping, he sat down on the bed beside him and stared at his face endlessly.

He touched his hair and stroked his hair.

"Why should you be the one to protect me? It's my work to do" he muttered.

"And even if I leave....it's just going to be for a while, I will definitely come back for you...I won't leave you all alone" He added and kissed his forehead before settling beside him, he was staring at him till he falls asleep.

Jimin opened his eyes after that, he saw the emperor beside him and smiled.

"I love you" He muttered and shifted closer, he took his hand and wrapped it around himself, he pecked his lips and then closed his eyes back.

NIGHT_TWO WEEKS LATER

Finally it's the night everyone have been waiting for, the full moon festival. The palace was filled up, the celebration was all together, in the village, e loveverywhere was so noisy and fun that night.

It's a festive night. The full Moon was there right in the dark cloud, bright and beautiful as it stood still.

The palace was even more interesting to be more than any day, a lot of activities. Ministers and the royal elders in the moon empire.

Jimin have been meeting a lot of noble men around his age with no single time for himself, the emperor was busy too, reason why he wasn't so worried because he doesn't seem to have his time either.

The festival started fully, and finally Jimin got a space beside the emperor as they entered together with everyone staring at them and cheering.

"I've missed you, my lord" Jimin said.

"I'm missing you, even now that we are together" The emperor said and Jimin's cheeks turned red.

They were directed to the table where they sat down to watch the ongoing performance together.

They haven't sat down for thirty minutes when the emperor caught the scent.... It's Taehyung. As he had expected.

He looked at Jimin who was clapping after the amazing performance from the dancers. He stood up and Jimin looked at him.

"Where are you going??......"

"I will be back" He said and left quietly.

Jimin stared at his back suspiciously but then he decided to keep his thought to himself.

**

Taehyung was on the palace rooftop, the emperor appeared behind him and he turned.

"Knew you would come" Taehyung chuckled.

"Why are you here?" Emperor Jungkook asked.

"You know why I am here....didn't I told you? I would destroy everything and it's like tonight is perfect for it, everyone smiling is like a fire in my soul, I hate it" Taehyung said.

"I warned you Taehyung" The emperor said.

"And that's why I'm here to take you down first" Taehyung said and unsheathed the sword in his hand.

"I'm not going to touch them on one condition" He said and the emperor raised his brows.

"Jimin, leave him for me" Taehyung said.

"You know that's not possible" Jungkook said.

"Why?"

"He's carrying my child"

"And if he's not?"

"I love him, and he loves me too...."

"Don't say it again!!!! You don't deserve it!!!!!!" Taehyung yelled and made to stab him but the emperor appeared behind him.

"I deserve it!!" He shouted back.

"Because I've suffered more than you Taehyung, there's no point in me apologizing to you because I was punished all these years, you don't even know what I passed through" He said.

"I still don't care, and I won't stop until I make you vanish, just like me" Taehyung said.

"Then do it" Emperor Jungkook said, standing straight.

"If that's going to make you leave the one I love alone, alongside my people, then do it" He said.

"It's this confidence I hated at first sight you were announced as my brother" Taehyung said.

"Do it Taehyung, don't forgive me. We will become even once I vanish, you're right, so......do it" He said.

Taehyung rushed toward him thinking he would escape as always but Jungkook didn't move, and the sword went right inside him, it came out at the back.

Jungkook puked out blood and Taehyung's eyes widened.

"The sword............works" He mumbled, he removed it back and the emperor staggered, blood rushing out of his tummy.

Taehyung's hand trembled and the sword fell from his hand.

"Your majesty?!!!!!!" Namjoon screamed out and rushed to them, his eyes grew wide.

Taehyung disappeared.

"My Lord!!!" Jimin also rushed there and soon more people came.

"Jungkook!" Jimin screamed, holding the emperor's bloody tummy.

He looked at his face and smiled deadly.

"I......I'm sorry" he stuttered and Jimin shook his head.

"Don't go....don't leave me!!! Don't!!!!!!!" He cried out.

Yongbok was the last....he stopped the moment he saw him in his own pool of blood.

"Hy.....ung" His tears fell freely.

It started from the blood on the sword, they turned into red ashes being elevated from the ground, then the emperor himself.

"I love you Jimin.....   "

"No!!!! No!!!!!" Jimin screamed

They all watched him turned into ashes and then vanished.

"Ahhhhh!!!!" Jimin lost his consciousness on the spot.
