Song: "Demons" by Imagine Dragons

"Good morning Master Jungkook." Jimin and Taehyung said deeply bowing. Jungkook gave them a smile.

Despite being older and their master, Jungkook was very close to both of them. Sometimes, Jungkook would just forget that he was their trainer and helped Taehyung to sneak Jimin out of the palace to wander around the village.

One of the reasons why Jimin liked swords fight was because of Jungkook. Jungkook was a skill sword fighter. He would teach students who were interested in swords. So Jimin liked it very much and mastered it.

"So, when is the young Prince is going to rule over?", They were resting under a tree after their practice session when Jungkook asked this.

"Hyung please don't call me Prince. You are my friend.", Jimin whined. Jungkook and Taehyung laughed at him.

"Its okay Jimin. I am just teasing you.", Jungkook smiled.

"But honestly hyung, I dont really want to rule the kingdom." Jimin said.

Jungkook and Taehyung were the only people in Jimin's life to whom he could share his every thought without being scared of anything. He knew they would never judge him. Being a prince he didn't have that much people in his life. Whatever he had, were these two people and it revolved around these two. Mostly Jungkook.

"So what do you want to do?", Jungkook asked curiously.

"I want to be like you. Like being a master and train the students. With you. Just a general life where 'Prince' things don't happen.", Jimin whispered the last part so that they won't hear him. Then he looked upto both. He become nervous thinking, what Jungkook must be thinking about him. Because Jungkook was very calm at the moment. It was really hard to tell what was going on in his head.

"What are your thoughts, hyung?", Jimin asked nervously fiddling with his fingers.

"Jimin, whatever decision you make, I will always support you against everyone. But whatever you will do, please think it over before doing it and learn the consequences of it so that your decision won't hurt anyone in any way." Jungkook Smiled. Jimin's small heart swelled with happiness just with the thought that Jungkook will always be on his side.

He couldn't help but fall more for the other.

After the training session, Jimin was called by his father. He went to see him. His father on velvet soft seat.

"Greetings, Father.", Jimin greeted deeply bowing. His father stood up and silently gestured him to follow.

Jimin was lead to the room which was in basement. This room was made for emergency situations. He was surprised when his mother, brother and even Jin and Namjoon hyung were already there waiting for him.

"What is this about, father?", Jimin asked all confused.

"Don't panic son. Wait a minute.", His father gestured something to Namjoon. Namjoon turned and pulled on the satin covers which were hiding something under it. The cover was unravelled.

There was a massive black marble stone throne which was created from a single rock. It was decorated with rare gems and diamonds. It was very beautiful.

"You will sit on this throne, son."

"Throne?", Jimin was surprised and flustered.

"Yes, your coronation will be held very soon. But that's not all, my son."
His father looked at Jimin and patted his shoulder. Jimin tensed up sensing something beforehand.

"Before the coronation ceremony, your marriage will be held.", Jimin's eyes widen at this.

"M-marriage?"

"Yes. You are promised to be married off with the Princess of Hanjoseon."

Jimin's world was shattered.

___________________________

Everything was on verge of destroying. He was not so happy. He tried to persuade his father, tried to reason out. But his father was so disappointed with his reaction.

As the days were passing Jimin was becoming more and more rebellious against the marriage. And his family started doubting of him having an affair.

But no.

He was Prince.

He should be married to someone matching with his status. So his father even firmly proceeded with his decision. So, Jimin made a decision which changed his whole life.

In one practice session, Jimin asked Jungkook, "Hyung if I leave my palace would you welcome me in?"

Jungkook was stunned. Sure, he knew the younger was not ready for the marriage which was set off in less than 10 days. He knew Jimin had some dream to pursue. He knew that Jimin was not happy.

After few moments he answered, "The door of my house will always welcome you Jimin-ah."

__________________________

And the day of his marriage soon came.

Whole Hanjuseong was decorated as it was ceremony of their young Prince's marriage and coronation. It was like festival for the civilians of Hanjuseong.

Jimin's in laws, the Royal family of Hanjoseon soon arrived. Everyone was very happy. The Princess of Hanjoseon was all groomed up to face her soon to be husband at the veil.

The halls were decorated and thousands of people were gathered to witness this big ceremony.

But soon everything crumpled down as the day proceeded. It was almost night when the marriage was called off.

The young Prince of Hanjuseong didn't show up.

He had ran away.

Everyone was raging in fits of anger. The people of Hanjoseon were very disappointed and seething in rage. They went back with foul mouths and curses in leaving their lips.

Jimin was, hiding for four days. He also felt so pathetic for letting his own family get humiliated like this. He admitted he was a worst son and Prince for their kingdom. The guilt was swallowing him slowly. He didn't even meet Jungkook or Taehyung that time.

And in the last he decided to return back and beg his family for the forgiveness.

"All of this for a boy? Are you out of your mind Jimin?", Jimin's father growled as he picked up sword and ran towards him to kill his own son. But Chanyeol held his father from killing his brother. Jimin's mother started crying.

"I know I have done a hellish mistake Father. But I just couldn't give in to that marriage. I would have never loved her...", Jimin said tears rolling down his face.

"You don't have to love her!! This was marriage. Eventually you would have learnt to love her...", His father said curling his fingers in a tight fist.

"Father I don't want that... Or such relationship.. I don't even want to be the King...", Jimin cried.

"So why did you return after humiliating us to the core? Why didn't you die out there rather than come here show us your pathetic face!!", He growled out. Jimin's mother started crying more loudly.

"Father I want your permission. I really love that person!! I will prove that my decision is not wrong...", Jimin said bowing while sitting on his knees.

His father looked dead into his eyes. He could've even killed him any moment if it wasn't for Chanyeol holding him firmly. Jimin's mother pleaded his father to spare their son.

After a while Jimin's father spoke up...

"Fine.. I will give you permission. If you prove me wrong I will give you permission to do whatever you want.

But if you fail, you will have to come back and sit on that throne..."
