{ THE JUDGEMENT }

Once again, eyes got bigger, especially Taehyung’s. Everyone froze shockingly on their spots.

Jimin’s shaky hands quickly held Jungkook by the sides, and he began responding softly to the slow kiss, caressing his tongue with his each time they meet.

The accidental kiss with Taehyung was nothing compared to this. This is heartwarming and sweet, and the most important part is that he’s having it with the man he’s madly in love with. Yes, MADLY.

They kept kissing wetly in the rain for what looked like forever, and when Jungkook broke it, his eyes found his own, and they began staring at each other. He was still holding him.

“I missed you so much Kookie” he whispered, and Jungkook smiled shortly before kissing his eyes.

“I missed you more, crybaby” he replied, and before he knew it, Jungkook carried him in a bridal style, and he hung his arms on his neck.

He looked at the pale shocked faces of everyone before speaking up.

“I’m back, and that wasn’t my ashes, it’s tiny fireflies” he said sternly, and everyone began blinking.

“I still rule, I still reign, I’m still on the throne, the eleventh king of Goguryeo is not dead, and he’s not dying anytime soon! I’m still Jeon Jungkook!” He said authoritatively, and everyone went on their knees immediately.

“Welcome back your majesty!” Their foreheads touched the ground as they bowed respectfully.

Jungkook sighed and looked at Jimin in his arms. His eyes are closed.

He vanished from there and appeared in his suite.

Jimin was shaking with cold in his arms so he entered the bathroom. He made the tub water warm before placing him down.

“Where are you going?” He asked weakly.

“I’m not going anywhere” he replied, and he held him as he started taking off his wet clothes.

Jungkook took it all off till his last underwear, then he carried him and placed him gently in the warm tub.

The steam started penetrating into his skin immediately, and Jimin started feeling better.

Jungkook dabbed his face with the warm water too, then he washed his hair with the same warm water before carrying him out of it.

He took him back to the room and dried him up before applying the lotion, then he wore him a brand new red robe from his wardrobe.

Jimin was already sleeping when he was done, so he placed him on the bed and kissed his eyes before covering him with the quilt.

He gave him a long look before leaving the room, then he went to his resting room where he sat gently.

He took a deep breath, remembering what actually happened last night.

Immediately he fell weakly and rested on the tree, his sixth sense told him danger is coming, so he scooped some sand into his hand.

Even in his weak state, mother Earth won’t betray him so with that, he was able to create an imaginary image of himself.

His real self appeared far from the image, and he sat behind another tree, watching his imaginary image from there.

His eyes widened when he saw Taehyung, and he almost screamed when he placed the sword on his neck, but when he noticed the different air surrounding him, he relaxed.

“That’s not Taehyung” he muttered as he cut off the head of the image.

To make him believe he’s really dead, he gathered tiny fireflies with his mind and dispersed them like shinning golden ashes.

Immediately the image transformed to the fake ashes, Taehyung rushed out of the forest, and Jungkook smiled weakly, closing his eyes as he rested his head on the tree.

“Gangyeon is so stupid” he muttered.

He continued sitting by the tree till daybreak when he got his strength back, and that was when he returned to the palace.

Jungkook rolled his eyes around and stood from his chair, then Yoongi rushed in immediately.

He planted a blank look on his face, and Yoongi stopped by the door immediately, staring at him as if he’s not real.

“Yoonie” Jungkook said, and tears fell out of his eyes immediately.

“Father!!” He shouted and ran to him, jumping on him like a monkey.

He hugged him so tight that he nearly suffocated.

“I’m suffocating” Jungkook joked, hugging him back.

“I hate you so much for making me sad, I didn’t even miss you and I swear I didn’t cry” he said, still crying.

“Are you sure you don’t miss me?  And you didn’t cry? You’re crying right now so I can imagine the tears you shed during my absence” Jungkook replied, and he cried harder.

“I hate you!!!”

“I’m sorry, forgive your father ok?” Jungkook replied, stroking his hair fondly.

“Promise me you won’t die without taking me along” he sniffed as Jungkook began wiping his tears.

“You’re crazy” he replied.

“What exactly happened? The moon came out last night, and they were all saying Lin killed you” he said.

Jungkook narrated everything, and Yoongi sat on his chair regally.

“That imbecile brother of yours, shallow Lagoon” he smirked, and Jungkook sat beside him.

“You aren’t scared of Lin’s return, right?” He said, and Yoongi scoffed.

“You know I’m not weak father. Anytime he shows up in front of us, I’m killing him” he replied, and Jungkook smiled, then Yoongi stood.

“Let’s wait for Gangyeon and his mate” he said.

“Mate?”

“Don’t tell me you’re not aware that Gangyeon took Seomin’s virginity already. They both smell like forbidden sacrifices, that’s enough verification” he replied, and Jungkook smiled.

“I know” he said, and Yoongi nodded.

“The next time you disappear like that, I’m gonna disown you as my father, ok?” He said and winked again before rushing out of the suite.

Almost instantly, Taehyung came in, looking so guilty and fearful.

Jungkook fixed his eyes on him without smiling, and that scared him more.

“Your majesty….I….I don’t know how to make you believe it but…..I didn’t do it……it wasn’t me…. Gangyeon switched faces with me and…..”

He hasn’t finished talking when Jungkook laughed out loud shortly, shocking him.

Jungkook just laughed!

The least he does is short smiles once in a while, but he just laughed.

“Am I a joke to you? I’d always recognize foul plays no matter what, so I detected it immediately” Jungkook said.

“Huh?”

“I know it’s not you, so stop stuttering, it’s actually funny” Jungkook laughed again, and Taehyung dropped his sword on the ground, then he walked fast to Jungkook and hugged him tight.

“Hey, Yoonie suffocated me already, you’re complicating things” Jungkook said, but Taehyung only tightened the hug.

“I wanted to believe you weren’t dead, but it all ended the moment I saw the ashes, I was so scared that I almost peed myself” he cried.

“Don’t tell me you’re crying” Jungkook replied.

“If you’re gonna die, just make sure you take me along. You can’t die alone ok?” Taehyung said again, and Jungkook cried before hugging him back.

“Stop the waterworks already” he said, patting his back.

“So….what are you planning to do? Gangyeon and Seomin will soon be back” Taehyung said immediately they broke the hug.

“I’ll play with them a little bit, then I’ll toss them away” Jungkook sighed, sitting down.

“Gangyeon knows your identity already, I think Taemin told him about it. Taemin actually found out already” Taehyung said.

“I don’t think it’s Taemin”

“Why?”

“After he took your face, I asked him if the moon would be coming out last night, and he said no. I guess he found out that way, you know he has the ability to read the signs of the heavens too” Jungkook replied, and Taehyung started feeling guilty about what he did to Taemin immediately.

“Anyways, I know what to do. You can go get something to eat” Jungkook said.

“How’s Jimin doing? He stayed in the rain for eleven hours, waiting for you. He refused to leave no matter the persuasion, he’s quite stubborn” Taehyung said.

“That crybaby” Jungkook smiled.

“The rainwater didn’t affect him that much, and he’ll be fine once he wakes. Tell old Gantzo to prepare a flu suppressing herb” he said, and Taehyung bowed.

“Yes, your majesty”

He left the suite afterwards.

                              †

Numerous daughters of Eodum were walking around the abode, carrying out one duty or the other in the shrine.

Eodum herself is in the inner shrine, sitting comfortably on a tiger skin spread on the ground.

Her eyes are closed, and black flames clouded the room as her arms rested gently on her thighs.

Her red lips smirked, and her merciless eyes opened.

The book is right in front of her, she finished reading it already.

“How did Omega get her hands on this book?” She muttered darkly, rotating her eyeballs about.

“Once again, she’s ahead of me even when she’s blind, just like thirty years back” she said hatefully.

Flashback

Thirty years ago...

Back then, there was nothing like one king for one year. The kings were chosen by votes from the people, and after announcing the winner, the enthronement ceremony follows the next day.

Only one Oracle gets invited to such occasions, Omega, and for the past five years, Omega has been the only Oracle who gets invited because of her unmatched pure powers, then her kindheartedness.

Apart from being an Oracle, Omega runs an orphanage inside her shrine too, taking in homeless kids to take care of.

All these made everyone love her, everyone except Eodum who's the second most powerful Oracle.

Another enthronement ceremony is happening that year, and Omega got invited again.

In blind anger, Eodum went to the ceremony and barged into the place.

“This is cheating!!! Cheating your majesty! Omega is not the only Oracle in this empire so why!!!! Why is she the only one who gets invited every year!!” She yelled.

“How dare you barge into my ceremony! Eodum” the king stood.

“Send Omega out! I should be here instead of her!!!” Eodum shouted and made to touch Omega, but just a bat of Omega’s eyelids sent her to the fountain in front of the palace.

Everyone laughed immediately she fell.

“Take her away! Lock her up in the dungeon!” The king commanded, and four guards grabbed Eodum immediately.

“No your majesty!!! Noo!!! Omega this isn't over! Omega!!!” Eodum screamed as she was dragged away.

Flashback ended

Eodum was already shaking with anger. She took the candle holder beside her and threw it at the wall angrily.

“Omega….. You’re blind and powerless now anyways, I’ll have my revenge. You made me spend one year in prison, I’ll kill you!” She seethed angrily.

She looked at the book and smirked.

“Circle’s sons will be recognized by the round circle marks at the back of their necks. I just have to find them and kill the useless one, then I’ll use Nimon to eliminate Jungkook” she smiled ominously.

“I should inform Gangyeon”

                              †

“Great ruler! Jungkook came back to the palace!” Agui announced, rushing into his room.

Cobra just finished bathing, and he has just a wrap on his waist, looking hot with his long hair.

Agui’s eyes widened immediately, and he swallowed hard.

“What’s wrong?” Cobra asked.

“Oh!… Jungkook came back to the… palace” he replied, and Cobra rolled eyes.

“You think he’d die easily like that? Can’t believe you’re still daft! He’s a demigod!” He shouted, and Agui flinched.

“Get out if you have nothing else to say. You failed to trace the source of energy in the palace too, what’s your use?” He said, and Agui fought back his tears as he walked out of the room.

He felt pains on his arm, then he raised his robe sleeve. A big wound is on his left forearm.

The wound was actually given by Yoongi during the fight in front of the palace warehouse.

He remembered how Yoongi bit him and chewed on his flesh, then he sighed.

“I don’t think it’s gonna ever heal, that wizard of a boy has dangerous set of teeth” he said, but he smiled immediately.

“But…..he chewed my poisonous flesh, Jungkook should prepare to mourn soon” he said and kept smiling as he walked away.

                             †

Jimin’s eyes opened slowly, and he blinked once, looking around in his position.

His eyes suddenly widened when he remembered Jungkook.

He spranged up and rushed out of bed.

“Kookie!” He called, running around.

“Kookie!”

He ran into the living room, but he’s not there.

“Kookie!”

He ran out and went to the resting room.

He stopped walking when he saw him beside the table, his back on him.

He ran to him and hugged him from behind, resting his head on his back.

“You think I disappeared again?” He asked.

“Yes” he replied, and Jungkook smiled lightly before facing him.

He carried him and placed him on the table, then he planted wet kisses on his face while Jimin kept blushing.

“I won’t leave again, trust me” he said, and Jimin nodded.

“Are you better now?” He asked.

“Yes, so far you’re here” he replied, and Jungkook sighed, taking a bowl of herbal concoction from the table.

It’s warm and smells like peach

“What’s this?” He blinked.

“Gantzo made it, you have to drink it so you’d calm down totally” he replied.

“Oh…” He took the bowl from him and drank from it, but he spit it out immediately.

“How do you expect me to drink this! It’s too bitter! Gosh!” He gasped, and Jungkook blinked.

“Really?”

“I won’t drink it, I’ll get better if I cuddle in your arms for one hour. Let’s go to bed” he pouted, hugging him.

“Drink this, or I’m not speaking to you through out today” he said, but Jimin tightened the hug immediately.

“You can’t do it” he muttered.

“I’ll fuck you till you faint then” he replied.

“That won’t be bad” he replied.

“Ok on a serious note, Jimin” he said seriously, and Jimin broke the hug with a pout.

“Kookie…”

“Please….” He said, stroking her hair as he brought the bowl to his lips.

He drank two gulps and jumped down from the table.

“I’m not drinking again! Not me!!” He shouted, running away from him, but Jungkook used magnetic force to pull him back, and Jimin found himself in front of him again.

“Please…. I don’t want to drink…”

Before he could finish, Jungkook smashed his lips on him, and Jimin smiled on his lips before pulling him closer.

Tongue on tongue, they kissed passionately, holding each other like they’re what they both need to survive..

                              †

<12TH HOUR>

The palanquin conveying Gangyeon and Seomin entered the palace, and ten carts entered behind them, containing what they bought.

They actually went to shop for their new wears and accessories as the next king and queen.

Gangyeon came out of the palanquin with Seomin, and they smiled at each other.

They ordered the servants to start taking in the stuffs, and immediately the servants took in the first batch, they flew out of the palace like flies, then they landed violently on the wall together with the items they were holding.

“What the!…” Gangyeon gasped shockingly.

“What’s happening!” Seomin said, looking around.

Taemin ran to them and bowed in front of Gangyeon.

“His majesty is back” he reported, and Gangyeon slapped him.

“Are you high on liquor?”

“No my Lord, he’s back!” Taemin replied.

“What!” Seomin gasped.

“Surprised?” Jungkook said behind them, and before they could turn around, he appeared behind them.

“Jung..kook…” Gangyeon stuttered, shifting back.

By now, everyone is out, ready to watch the show.

The Dowager and Chen woke up already, so they’re among the onlookers.

“No… this is not you…no!!!” Seomin shouted and began running out, but Yoongi blocked him.

He kicked him on the face, and Seomin fell on his butt, then Yoongi placed an hand on his head.

That instant, all the hair on Seomin’s head disappeared, leaving him bald with an egg-shaped head.

👥 Whoaaa!!!

Everyone started laughing hard.

“My hair! My hair!!!!” Seomin cried, rubbing his empty head.

Yoongi gave him a knock on the head, and he started crying.

“Take him to the arena! And tie him to the cross” Yoongi ordered.

“Jungkook….we can actually settle this simply…. Jungkook…” Gangyeon began shifting back.

“Take another step, and you’ll catch fire” Jungkook said calmly, and Gangyeon mistakenly took it.

That instant, his robe caught fire and started burning.

“No! Jungkook stop! Jungkook!!!!”

He was dancing around like a mad man, trying to put out the fire, but the fire never went out till all his robe got burnt, and he became stark naked in front of everyone.

👥 Whoa!!!!!!

“I never thought I’d see a dick all my life, but this is huge. Fertilized cucumber” Hoseok laughed.

“Jungkook…” Gangyeon’s eyes widened, and Jungkook’s eyes flashed gold immediately.

“I am the Alpha of this empire! I am the king and the ruler! I’m the owner and the claimer! I am Jeon Jungkook! The only demigod existing!! May you become impotent forever!” Jungkook roared, and a loud thunder sounded immediately.

Gangyeon’s dick went down instantly.

“Noo!!!!!!!!!” He screamed.

“Take him to the arena, and tie him to the electrocution pole” Jungkook commanded coldly, and Gangyeon’s eyes widened.

“No!!!”

He went on his knees immediately.

“Your majesty have mercy!”

The guards started dragging him away.

“Your majesty!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
