In time, Jungkook stepped in front of the royal court and announced Jimin as his future omega. The land was finally going to have their new king rule alongside the alpha that was once lonely. Within the same week, they were rushed into the ceremony of marriage and were wedded that day. When it came to the king, as soon as he picked his omega, he was to be rushed to marry the next day. So, this wasn't very unusual to Jimin since he knew there was no waiting when it came to that.

       Jungkook managed to make it into Jimin's mind and change him into a better version of himself. Jimin was taught many things when it came to living royally and learning to love his alpha rightfully. Before, Jimin was so stubborn, so greedy but along the way, he found himself within the king. As well as Jungkook; he came a long way from being this desperate boy who painted in order to cope with his solitude. The two were broken from many things, even if they harmed each other along the way, they were both able to heal their own wounds right after.

      By the following month, Jungkook laid in bed with his swan. Their nightly routines would consist of their endless conversations of many things until it drifted them off to sleep. Their bond was closer and their hearts never strayed away from mimicking each other.

        When the sun rose to a new day, Jungkook opened his eyes to lock onto his omega sleeping right by his side. The spot that was once empty, was now filled with the one he loved. Jungkook smiled at his swan, raising his right hand to comb Jimin's lovely silk hair back and slowly slide it down to the small baby bump that was beginning to form over his belly. The alpha pressed his head against the pillow as he laid sideways like Jimin and couldn't help but to look at his husband with love just oozing from the windows to his soul.

      His swan was silent, elegant, precious as he slept. Everything in Jungkook's mind was silent now as he took moments like these and held them closer to his heart. This was their life now and he wouldn't change it for even the rarest treasure in the land. He believed Jimin was the only treasure he seeked for and he alone meant beyond just a rare treasure. Jimin was his swan, the king's swan and his whole world.

      "Jimin..." Jungkook whispered and leaned in to kiss his omega over the head softly. "You won't be able to sleep in like this, my love. Remember, you are the king as well. You can't lay here all day."

       "I... I want to..." Jimin replied with his eyes sewn shut. "Taehyung mentioned that I may want to sleep a little longer than usual because of my pregnancy. Let me sleep in for just this morning..."

      "Oh Jimin, you said that yesterday and the day before that! Swan, I want to spend a moment with you before our first meal. I want to at least walk around with you for a moment."

        "Your energy... I can't match it, Jungkook..." Jimin whispered. Just then, Jungkook leaned in and kissed the omega on his forehead. "Mh- stop it..."

        "Are you going to spend time with me? Or are you going to spend more time with the bed?" Jungkook asked and suddenly climbed over the omega to then trap him underneath. "Don't make me jealous of the bed we lay on, Jimin!"

        "Oh no... your obsession is back..." Jimin replied effortlessly and yawned as he kept his eyes closed shut. "I need more rest... I will see you... when I do," Jimin replied and turned his face away before the alpha pointed his face back to his. "You're so annoying, Jungkook!"

       "Jimin, I love you!" Jungkook teased and peppered soft kisses against his neck in efforts to wake him up. "I want you to wake up, my love..."

        "Jeon Jungkook... I'm pregnant... how do you expect me to-"

        "Fine," Jungkook spoke into a pout and began to pull away from the omega. But just when Jimin didn't feel the soft and warm kisses of his lover, Jimin let out a giggle before the king and wrapped his arms around his alpha before uniting his tired gaze with him. "What is this? Now you want me to stay and bother you longer?"

       "Sleep in with me... we could both stay here together a little longer. Who else is going to tell us we can't?"

        "You lazy omega, we have a land to rule over~" Jungkook spoke into a soft whisper against Jimin's ear. "Meet me in the courtyard after you finish your first meal. I will be there all day if I have to."

       "Is the courtyard our new river?"

       "In a way, yes," answered the king. "Meet me there, but if you sleep in, I won't be there again!"

        "So demanding... oh Jungkook, it's our pup doing this to my energy."

        "You make it seem as if you won't be able to open your eyes for the next second! Ah, fine then. If you want to see me, I will be at the courtyard after my first meal," claimed the alpha before leaning in to give Jimin a peck on his plump lips before pulling away. He sat over the edge of his bed and stretched carefully as his hand was still latched over his bandages that were just changed the night before.

       His wounds didn't seem to hurt as much as it did before. But when pain did strike, he would worry about his omega and hope Jimin wouldn't have to feel the pain himself as he beared the pup. On the other hand, any other morning from this point forward was gentle now. So, the king didn't have to worry about his lover being in more pain from his pregnancy and the mirrored pain he would feel from his alpha's injury that had yet to fully heal. Due to how heavy the injury was the moment it happened, the longer it took to recover completely. Yet, Jungkook never allowed it to get to him now.

       Eventually, Jungkook was at his courtyard sitting in front of his old painting supplies along with the same pond he would throw stones into his reflection when he was upset at himself. Now, Jungkook only dared to capture the true essence of nature from his courtyard starting with the pond. Every stone at the bottom of the pond carried a story of despair and frustration, but now, Jungkook only longed to paint the stones at the bottom with more of an understanding of his feelings. He took upon the stones as a stress reliever, and he painted just to cope. Only now, he hoped to put them together and wish to understand his true pain shouldn't be distracted from himself but now, be faced with his full attention.

     Every day Jungkook was working on himself. With his future pup on the way and Jimin by his side, he found those two as great motivations to keep moving forward on himself. Jungkook was in love every day with the alpha he was becoming. Just before, he would paint with no motivation but just to cope with things he couldn't understand. Now, he understood it all.

       Just as Jungkook continued to paint carefully, he spent an hour alone while he was watched over by many guards. He was lost into the paintings he had to paint alone without his muse to keep him smiling. But as he lifted the brush from his paper, he picked up the strong scent of his omega approaching closer. The sweet scent of the older one mixed with his husband's was the best fragrance Jungkook loved to catch onto. It was a daily reminder of the great fortune had with Jimin and that great fortune was the pup alone.

      Just then, Jimin dropped behind the king and wrapped his arms around his lover to give him a back hug carefully. Not wishing to push the alpha and mess up his perfect painting.

       "Missed me already?~" Jimin whispered into a coo as he hung his head over his alpha's shoulder to watch him paint.

        "Do not flatter yourself," Jungkook teased and listened to Jimin's cute giggles. "You finally joined me. This is the first time in a while you decide to join me this early, Jimin."

       "I was going to sleep in longer, but I wanted to be right by your side," Jimin whispered and kissed the alpha over his cheek. "What are you painting?"

       "The courtyard."

        Jimin took a moment to look at the painting a bit longer before he smiled and ran his hands up and down the king's chest carefully. Feeling every bump to his bandages just underneath his red silk robe. The swan then sunk his small hands within his own sleeves to his black robe and pressed his head forward before letting out a giggle against his alpha's ear.

      "What is it, my love?"

      "Paint me a swan," Jimin demanded as the king couldn't help but to look back and latch his eyes onto the ethereal features of his swan right behind him. It was like their first encounter, only difference was that now, they knew so much about each other's eternal beauty and imperfections that were already deemed perfect in each other's own little world.
