"They only know how to be housemaids and caretakers." -Park Jimin
Prince Jungkook and Prince Taehyung were in the archery room, just as Prince Jimin came in.
"Taehyung, Jungkook. I need your help." Jimin said to the two just as they made it into a '10'.
"What is it, hyung?" The two both said, making Jimin smile.
"I need your help with the 'queen' issue." Jimin said, making the two confused. Jungkook and Taehyung were Jimin's closest friends. Jungkook was his brother while Taehyung was simply just his friend. These three always got along so well and they always knew how to help each other get out of situations, especially Jungkook.
Jungkook hated his kingdom, all because of his mom. To be quite frank, he didn't think she was his mom anymore. Jungkook would do his best to keep his act together, but that doesn't mean he never broke rules.
"Why do you need help with finding a girl to marry? Can't you choose one out of nowhere? You don't have to love her." Jungkook said, questioning his hyung.
"You can't even love the girl, either." Taehyung said, rolling his eyes. Taehyung was somewhere near Jungkook's personality. He hated how Mrs. Park forced her sons to not love. Back at Gwaecheon, everyone was equal and could do as they pleased. Ever since Taehyung came into the kingdom, it was really different than back at Gwaecheon.
"Mom said she'd make arrangements." Jimin replied, making someone chuckle. The three looked to see their older hyung, Prince Yoongi.
"She's always been such an idiot. I don't even consider her my mom in the first place." Yoongi said, growling. Now Yoongi, he truly despised his mom. All because back when he was a bit younger, he found his lover. His mother sent her to another kingdom and he lost her. Now, he's changed into despising almost everyone, including his mom. However, he still loves his brothers and friends.
"I won't even go against you on that one." Jungkook said, making Jimin sigh.
"Can you just help me already?" Jimin interrupted, making them chuckle.
"Sure." The three all said, Jungkook and Taehyung putting away their bows and Yoongi coming over to the three. They all sat down on the guidelines, looking at Jimin's annoyed face.
"Sometimes, I wonder why Mrs. Park enforces these rules." Taehyung said, making the other three nod. Mr. Park, the Park brother's father, leaned on the archery room's doorframe, listening to their conversation.
Mr. Park, also known as King Park, was the complete opposite of Mrs. Park. He was calm and allowed his sons to do whatever they pleased, as long as it's for the good. Jungkook and his father were the rebels of the family, not even Yoongi broke any of the rules after the incident.
"She's done it for many reasons." Mr. Park interrupted, making the four boys smile as he walked over.
"Hi, dad!" the four exclaimed. Taehyung called Mr. Park "dad", due to the fact his father wasn't here, and because he took care of him for almost his entire life.
"Your mother, and Mrs. Park, she did it because she's dominant." He said, making the four confused.
"She likes taking over what she thinks she owns. Ever since we got our arranged marriage, she stuck the Royalty's rules, but then made her own "Busan Kingdom rules" for all of us. To be honest, I even think it's completely unfair." He said to them, making them all suppress a laugh.
"Mr. Park, Mrs. Park is looking for you." A maid said, making Mr. Park turn around and nod, smiling at the maid. She soon left and Mr. Park turned back to the sons.
"That's my call. I'll see you four later." He said, walking down and leaving.
"Back to our talk. What should I do?" Jimin asked, completely stressed, but felt a bit better after his father came and helped him calm down.
"Like I said, pick one out of no where." Jungkook suggested, making Jimin groan.
"These ladies don't know anything about taking on a queen role! They only know how to be housemaids and caretakers." Jimin replied, making them smirk.
"Because of Mrs. Park." The three said to Jimin, making him punch them in the arm, laughing. They all had a close relationship, it wouldn't be hard to mistaken them as brothers, even though half of them are brothers.
"Or, have you met any quote on quote, commoners, that could take on the role of a queen?" Taehyung asked his hyung, making Jimin think back. The first thought that came into his head was the hazel-eyed girl. Her hoodie and jeans making her stand out from most commoners who liked to dress up. The way she mocked Jimin's name, intrigued him.
"I remember one, just never caught her name." He said, making Taehyung clap.
"Bingo! We can try to find her again maybe, and ask her to be your queen!" Taehyung exclaimed, making the other two except Jimin, agree.
"She's heck stubborn, though. She mocked my name and walked away from me when I called her a commoner." Jimin added, making the three stifle a laugh.
"I can see why." Jungkook said, making the other two burst out in laughter.
"Shut up!" Jimin screamed, making them be quiet, but try not to burst out once again.
"I can't just barge into a commoner's living room and ask them to be part of my act for my mother, that's just plain whack!" Jimin exclaimed, rubbing his temples in frustration. Yes, Jimin may be an ignorant, disrespectful prince.
That doesn't mean he doesn't have a heart and he's not soft, either. Outside the palace, Jimin is much different than inside. He wants to be modeled as a future king, and not a playful prince.
"Then we can throw some.. ball or something." Yoongi implied, making Taehyung smile widely.
"Like Cinderella!" Taehyung exclaimed, making the other princes shrug at the unique boy.
"It's really up to mom, though. She barely ever listens to her sons, and the only time she will is when we agree on something with her." Jungkook said, sighing. It's true, the sons of Busan only had a say in conversations and meetings with other kingdoms if they agreed with their mother. Other than that, they'd have to keep their silence.
"Hey guys!" Hoseok exclaimed as he ran in, almost tripping over the bucket of arrows. They all laughed and he sat down next to them, painting.
"Mom is looking for us. She called a meeting for the family of Busan and Gwaecheon to talk about Jimin's 'issue'." Hoseok said, making them all look at each other, but soon nod as they all got up. They talked as they made it to the meeting room, Hoseok and Taehyung bowing to the nice maids as they passed by.
"Boys." Mrs. Park said in a monotone voice, making the four look at her and bow, taking their seats in silence. The Gwaecheon sons sat on the other side of the Busan sons. Mr. Park and Mrs. Park sat at one end.
"We are here to discuss Prince Jimin's decision for his future queen." She said, earning sarcastic applause from the boys. Each of the boys hated how they had to arrange a lover, and marry them soon. They really wanted to love who they wanted to, but of course, Royalty's rules.
"We've decided that we will be planning a ball, for the future king's choosing of his arranged wife."

"Oh my- Eun-Byul!" Ga-Young screamed, still baking cookies as she heard the big news. Her sister peeped in from the garden, helping her father plant some flowers since she knew he couldn't do it herself.
"Yes?" She replied, making Ga-Young squeal once again.
"Prince Jimin is arranging a ball to find the love of his life!" Ga-Young exclaimed, making Eun--Byul roll her eyes as she remembered yesterday's interaction with the two princes.
"Prince Hoseok is fine, but the little dwarf Prince Jimin.." she thought, biting her lip in anger.
"Eun-Byul!" Ga-Young screamed, getting her attention. Her father chuckled, coughing as he looked at the two sisters.
"Do you want to go?" Ga-Young asked, receiving a disgusted face from her younger sister.
"Heck no!" Eun-Byul replied before helping her father again.
"Gosh, so annoying." Eun-Byul thought, rolling her eyes at the situation and place she's being held in.
