Taehyung's POV

I woke up, getting out of bed when I wanted too.

It was already 11am but I didn't really care.

It felt nice to properly relax in such a nice luxurious bed as mine.

Especially not being tipped out of bed at 5am because of a storm.

I got dressed, Jimin had already laid out the clothes for me to wear at 9am but I only just now got up to get dressed.

I looked in the mirror after, seeing my exposed neck and a loose shirt that hung around my smaller body.

Normally Jimin pairs this shirt with jewellery but he seemed to be in a bit of a rush deciding today, possibly because he was needed elsewhere in the castle.

Maybe one of the pirates requested an outfit, who knows.

I then pulled on some basic black pants, and put on my brown pirate boots that Jungkook gave me over a year ago.

I then messed up my black shaggy hair.

It took me a while to get used to having black hair again, yet blonde hair would've been so noticeable that it was me when I appeared in other countries.

Also spending so much time on a ship compared to at land was unreliable with getting my hair dyed evenly so I just let it grow out and cut all the evidence of it being blonde away.

I headed down the hallway, telling Hoseok on the way that I would skip breakfast.

He then dashed down to the dining hall to remove whatever food would've been left for me.

It'd be lunch time soon enough anyways.

I calmly walked into the room beside Jimin's sewing work room, smiling as I entered.

Since being back in the castle, I have rediscovered my love of drawing with coloured pencils.

It just makes me feel more relaxed and at ease.

Obviously every drawing either consists of Jungkook, or the ocean, occasionally featuring Jungkook's (well now my) ship.

I sat down at a canvas that a white stool was in front of.

My half finished drawing off Jungkook wearing a black corset was in front of me.

I went to work, because ideally I'd like to have this finished today.

I almost fell off my chair though when I heard Jimin's sensual voice behind me.

"Not now." I replied, not even hearing what Jimin had just said.

"Taehyung, this will take all of five seconds." Jimin complained from slightly behind my shoulder.

I sighed, "Can't ye wait till another time, ye can see I am busy." I huffed.

"Taehyung, I need to show you this piece of jewellery, the owner is waiting and I will not make up any reaction for their satisfaction." Jimin grumbled.

I have been avoiding as many duties as I could recently.

I suppose I should take part in a couple or my staff or even the country citizens will see me as an unreliable or corrupt young king.

I stood up from my stool, "Let's see it then." I replied, Jimin walking over to me with a dark wooden looking box.

"This is a gift for you, I found it a couple months ago in a local jewellery shop." Jimin began to say while lifting open the box.

My eyebrows furrowed as I looked at the jewellery inside.

My heart pace instantly increased as I raised my hand, feeling over the red jewel on the end of the pendent.

"Jimin..." I began as I lifted the necklace out of the box.

I inspected it and it looks so close to the original, it would have to be the original.

Yet the original should be floating around in the ocean, and it was around Jungkook's neck, though his body would've decomposed by now so I suppose it is possible to have been found randomly in the ocean.

"It- It looks exactly like the original." I mentioned noticing even a wee scratch on the pendant which would suggest it is the original that has been through a lot in the ocean.

I froze on the spot as I heard a voice that I haven't heard in a very, very long time.

"Because it is the original Taehyung." His voice said, melting my heart with his tone that I replayed over and over in dreams of hearing the symphony again.

I swallowed some saliva that was pooling in my mouth, processing what just happened.

Jimin was giving me a look to say 'why aren't you saying anything'.

Because the two of us already knew that voice to be Jungkook's.

I looked back at my painting of Jungkook before responding, holding the necklace in my hand close to my chest.

"You're alive..." I managed to get out.

"I am." His somber voice said again.

My heart pace was speeding out of control, especially hearing footsteps quietly behind me.

"If I turn around, you're not just going to fade away? Am I dreaming?" I questioned.

My body felt like it was on fire as my head fell down, watching two hands wrap around my waist, his warm chest pressing against my back, his crotch against my bum and his chin resting against my shoulder.

A soft laugh left his lips before he spoke, his melody of a voice sounding enchanting with its closeness to my ear, "This is not a dream, and I'm not going anywhere." He cooed.

"Wow, I look good." He hummed examining my drawing from over my shoulder that was still not finished.

"It's incomplete, yet you always look good." I managed to get out as I watched one of his hands let go of my stomach to run along the canvas.

My cheeks heated up as he ran his hands up my stomach soothingly, reaching my hands that I left over my chest with the necklace inside.

Then he used both of his hands to pull the necklace out of my hands as he momentarily moved back from my body, wrapping the cool chain around my neck.

His pinky fingers brushed against my tanned skin as he did up the latch, reminding me of the first time he put on my necklace.

I felt speechless, yet I can now see why Jimin did not give me a necklace to pair with my loose white shirt.

I turned around slowly, facing the male of my dreams.

Our eyes locked together as I saw again the most handsome male that I have ever seen.

Obviously because of the time since his death, I am not used to how attractive he is so I am feeling very shy and blushy in front of this male.

His jawline was magnificent, his glossy doe eyes as dreamy as I remembered, his pink lips as delicious looking as I craved, his cheeks a gorgeous rosy tone, and his nose was a perfect cute curve. 

"Black hair suits you." He said studying my face, his hazel eyes flickering up and down.

I've never seen Jungkook not in pirate clothing, yet here he was standing in a boring blouse, black pants and not pirate boots, instead brown loafer looking shoes without any socks.

And he actually suited this style. He could put garbage bags on and still look attractive as hell.

"God damn have I missed you." I gasped out, forgetting Jimin was even watching as I inserted myself between his arms, hugging tightly into the male, resting my head now against his shoulder.

He did the same, tightly wrapping his arms around my back, his hand rubbing up and down soothingly as he replied, "I've missed you too."

I couldn't stop smiling now, a wide grin on my face as I let go of Jungkook's body to again study his face.

I raised my hand, running it along his cheek and jaw before he swiftly connected our lips, wrapping his arms around the small of my back to keep me close to his body.

Our lips ignited like a warm fire, sparks reaching all ends throughout my body as I enjoyed my closeness to the male I could never get over.

We were destined to be together, and I never would ever have let that go.

His tongue snuck between a gap in our lips, running against mine.

Tears of pure happiness pricked my eyes, my eyes glistening as tears stayed perched by my golden orbs.

Yet we both ended up pulling back after we smiled against one another's lips.

"I cannot believe you're alive." I gasped out as air rushed back into my lungs.

"I also cannot believe I am alive. I have no clue how I am, but I am, which is great so I can be with you again." Jungkook responded, his voice sounding charming and warm.

"Actually I think I may know how you are alive, I just cannot believe it actually worked..."

Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns? They are together again! And now yal will get the answer for why and how Jungkook is alive!
