|The Crown|

When Taehyung recieved all the information about Jungkook's plans, shock would be an understatement.

He was glad that Jungkook wanted to help but he didn't want the boy to do stuff just for Taehyung's sake.

( "How about the papers?" Taehyung asks.
"It's easy with the help of Yoongi-hyung soooo," Jungkook trails off while smiling that showcased his bunny teeth. "Your preparation?" The other questions again. "I like surprises. No need for those," Jungkook teases and pecked Taehyung's cheek. "It'll be fine.")

Currently, the blonde male was getting his hair done by his stylist. She was just done drying his hair and was now combing the locks. "You seem deep in thought today," She comments then fixed the bangs covering his eyes. 

"Noona, do you think I'll do great?"

"Taehyung-ah, I've known you for ten years. Of course you'd do great! Amazing in fact," the stylits reassures, stopping to look in the mirror if her work here was done. Taehyung was clad in a black dress shirt which had a few white stripes on and the usual black pants. Later during the ceremony, a red colored cape would be worn but that thing was too heavy so he hasn't tried wearing it again. 

"There ya go. You still have twenty minutes left before the ceremony. Want to visit your bunny on the other room?" She offers and Taehyung immediately nodded. His lips stretched into his famous box smile once he opened the door to reveal his lover looking ethereal as ever.

Jungkook was talking to someone on the phone and it looked quite serious.

"Can't believe you decided to miss my coronation dickhead," Jungkook hisses.

"I told you I'm sorry right? Soohyun is in the hospital right now and can't leave her alone since her mom is busy," Junyoung apologizes once again.

"Soohyun? Hyung, I thought your wife's name was Seulgi?"

"Ah. Jungkook, Soohyun is your niece."

Jungkook blinks and clears his throat. "M-my niece?" He stutters into the phone. "Yeah, I'd be nice if you two would get to see each other," His hyung suggests which he would probably agree too.

"Y-yeah. I uhm...hope she gets well soon. You better visit home okay?"

"We will. Good luck Kook!"

He ended the call after that. Well wasn't that surprising?

Taehyung decided to walk behind him and lean his chin on the other's shoulder.

"Ready for surprises?" He teases once he snaked his arms around the younger's waist. "Hmm. And how are you birthday boy?" Jungkook giggles and pecks him on the nose.

"Doing relatively well," he grins. "I sense that you're anxious Tae," Jungkook sighs and faces the older. The brunette cups his cheeks which Taehyung allowed himself to lean into.

"You'll do fine okay? I'm with you every step of the way," Jungkook reassures. Taehyung looked at him with so much love. His heart was doing these palpitations that he thought Jungkook could hear them.

"Thank you."

"ㅡboys! It's starting."

----

Taehyung and Jungkook stood in front of the altar.

(And no they're not getting married yet TAT)

"I, Kim Taehyung, pledge to serve my kingdom and its people in sickness and in health. I wholeheartedly accept my responsibility as the future king of Purpura along side my partner Jeon Jungkook. So help me God," The blonde heir pledged and prayed that no one noticed the unsteady tone he had in the end.

"I, Jeon Jungkook, pledge to serve my kingdom and its people in sickness and in health. I wholeheartedly accept my responsibility as the future king of Purpura along side my partner Kim Taehyung. So help me God," Jungkook followed after, sending his lover a comforting smile.

"May the Lord bless you two to reign this land in peace and joy. The coronation ceremony has been completed. I present you King Taehyung and King Jungkook of the Purpura kingdom!"

"All hail the kings!"

Everyone cheered once the crowns were placed on top of their heads. In the corner, Taehyung saw their parents smiling at them proudly which made his heart swell.

He linked his arms with Jungkook who leaned into him. "Holy shit I'm twenty," he says which caused Jungkook to giggle at his cuteness. He pinched his cheeks while saying, "and guess what, we're kings!"

The day went by smoothly. Right now, royalties were gathered at the ballroom to celebrate Taehyung's birthday. "My baby is growing up too fast!" Jin wails and locks Taehyung into a tight hug. "Jesus, when will you stop acting like our mother?" Yoongi lazily comments then proceeds to nudge Taehyung, "happy birthday kiddo."

"Yah Yoongi! Namjoon could you please tell him that they'll forever be our babieㅡ"

"Our?" Jimin questions.

"You guys are dating?" Hoseok followed.

"What?" Jungkook said lastly.

Namjoon sighed then gave everyone a sheepish grin.

"OH MY GOD WE FOUND OUR FATHER AJSKDLFUSJD!"

"Taehyung you're taking this family thing too seriously!" Jungkook laughs.

The seven boys continued to drink and laugh outside the crowded ballroom, enjoying each other's presence.

"Taehyungie, you haven't told us what you wished for earlier," Hoseok points out. All turned to the now-twenty-year-old-boy who only looked away in return.

"C'mon tell us!" Jimin encouraged while shaking Taehyung by the shoulders. "Nooooo! It's embarrassing," he whines and covers his face.

"Dude, you're twenty. Claim your age man!" Yoongi hollers.

"Say it! Say it! Say it!"

Taehyung pouted yet he sighed and decided to just tell them to get over with it.

"I wish that we'll always be here for each other, no matter what happens, forever," His eyes turned into crescents as he showed them another one of his box smiles.

The hyungs all cooed as Jungkook tackled him into a hug. "Since when were you so cheesy hyung?" He mumbles into the crook of his neck. "Ever since I met you," Taehyung answers and pulls him even closer.

"Sorry to break the moment but has that box always been there?" Jimin points toward the doorway which showed a white box with a blue ribbon securing the lid in place.

"Hm? Did someone leave that by accident?"

Seokjin walks toward the box to pick it up then gives it to Jungkook, saying that it was addressed to him.

With curiosity, Jungkook opens the box only to throw it away after seeing its contents.

"Babe? What's wrong? Shitㅡwhy are you crying? Baby talk to me!" Taehyung says then looks over to the box's contents.

It was a polaroid showing Jungkook and his mother, beaten and bruised, hurled up into the corner of the room as the one taking the picture showed the knife he was holding. The border of the picture smelled like rusted iron, bloodstains making the white border into a brown looking color. Then there was the knife that made Taehyung want to vomit. It was the same knife but rusted.

A small note was attached to the handle.

[Did you miss me?]

He turned his attention to his little bunny who was shaking and crying terribly.

"H-he's here! He'll hu-hurt me! Fuckㅡ oh fuck!"

"Jungkook! Don't cry please. I'm here. He won't hurt you. Snap out of it!" He pleads, looking at his hyungs for help.

"Taehyung, your dadㅡshitㅡ he co-collapsed!" Namjoon shouts from the other side.

Why was this happening?

What did I do to deserve this?

Taehyung only realized that he was crying when he felt Jungkook being pulled out of his grasp.

"Ke-keep an eye on him!" He shouts then heads inside.

Pushing people aside just to get to his family, salty tears running down his already pale cheeks, the young king felt his heart stop when he saw his father lying on the grown.

"Why is the world so cruel?"
