THE PREVIOUS NIGHT, ROYAL CHAMBER**

The emperor was in his library, reading as usual. Somehow he was waiting patiently for Jimin and Yongbok to return safely into the palace.

All of a sudden, a loud and strange wind from nowhere blew past his face, his long hair scattered and his eyes turned red, his hair became white and his claws were trying to force themselves out.

The book in the emperor's hand dropped and he looked up, out of the window then back to his claws.

He immediately controlled them and everything became normal again, but again that same feelings kept coming.

"What was that?" He mumbled and stood up, he walked out of the library into the lounge, it was empty but all the lights were already out. He shone his eyes on them and they all came back on. He walked into the bedroom, it was also dark and empty, after turning on the lights, he disappeared from the room and appeared in the palace field.

It was so silent outside but he could inhale the strange smell, it was strange but yet familiar in a way.

In a way that his devilish self was restless, his claws wouldn't stop coming out every second, and his eyes were glowing so much.

"What's going on?" Emperor Jungkook asked himself and looked up.

The cloud was so dark but he still couldn't get exactly what was going on.

But either ways, the feelings aren't good. It was threatening.

"Your majesty" That voice made him stop thinking and he turned back to find Duri beaming with smiles as he stared at him.

"Oh, Duri" The emperor also called.

"Since you're here, why not take a walk with me?" He asked.

Even before the emperor could decline, he grabbed his hand and took him away.

The emperor looked back about two times before he decided to shove the feelings off.

Maybe he's just worried about Yongbok......

TWO HOURS LATER**

"Goodnight prince" Jimin waved at Yongbok when they got to his suite.

"Bye Jimin, I really enjoyed my night thanks to you" Yongbok said.

"It's the other way round" Jimin smiled.

Yongbok waved at him one last time before going in.

Jimin turned immediately toward the Royal Chamber.

He have been restless ever since he saw those eyes, back at the market square. He just couldn't stop thinking about it, he can't.

Getting to the chamber, the guards stopped him from going in.

"I need to see my lord....."

"I'm afraid you can't" One of the guards said.

"Why? Is he asleep?" Jimin asked.

"His majesty and Young master Duri are inside"

That sounded twice in Jimin's head.

Duri? And the Emperor? Together by this time? That only means one thing, they are spending the night together.

Jimin took his lips in and nodded.

"Thank you" He mumbled and immediately turned back, he walked away.

MORNING, ROYAL CHAMBER**

Duri opened his eyes slowly and turned around, he discovered he was the only one on the bed and immediately sat up.

"Your......" He haven't finished when the emperor came in, fully dressed.

"Your majesty" He bowed.

The emperor nodded in return.

"Don't tell me, you left me all alone in the room" Duri said.

"I couldn't sleep all night" he replied and Duri's brows creased.

"You couldn't sleep? But....why??" He asked curiously.

The emperor sighed out.

"You should go now Duri, I will be busy today" He said.

Duri came down from the bed and moved into him, he hugged him gently.

"Duri" Emperor Jungkook pulled him off.

"Your majesty, I....."

"How about we talk later?"

Duri nodded.

"I'm going to miss you" He smiled and kissed his cheek before walking out.

"Your majesty" Namjoon's voice came after some minutes.

"Borah is here your majesty" Namjoon said.

Emperor Jungkook walked out of the room to the lounge.

"Let her in" He answered.

★

BACK TO THE PRESENT TIME**

"So what?! How dare you look at me like that?........." She couldn't finish her statement when Jimin landed an heavy slap on her face.

It sounded so loud and everyone gasped. 

Borah's eyes widened...she wasn't expecting it.

"What...did you just do?" She asked and touched her face.

"You must have forgotten that you're nothing but you here" Jimin said only to Borah's hearing.

"What?" Borah frowned.

She wanted to hit Jimin again but Namjoon appeared at the scene, he grabbed Jimin's hand and dragged him away.

👥 That serves lady Borah right.

👥 Jimin apologized.

👥 She's not even his Majesty's lady again, why is she still acting so bossy?

The maids kept talking as they walked away, leaving Borah there in tears.

"No..no...I can't go down this way. Never I can't" she shook her and also walked away.

*

"Namjoon left Jimin's hand when they got somewhere silent.

"You shouldn't get into trouble" Namjoon said.

"I just....couldn't help it" Jimin mumbled.

"You Know how Borah is, she's corny. Just because her position was temporarily taken from her doesn't mean she wouldn't do anything, so be careful" Namjoon said.

Jimin nodded.

"Thank you Namjoon" He smiled

"You're welcome" he said

THE WHITE GARDEN**

The three deities were all walking in the garden, it was all white and snowy, they all have white robes on matching their white hair.

The breeze was so cold and as they speak, one would hear the echo going round the garden.

The flowers falling are all white, purely served, everywhere.

"He's back, as I expected" The second deity said.

"Jungkook can't escape the war coming, but just a decision from him will change everything"  The third Deity said and they both turned to the first deity.

"Is there any plans we don't know about?"

"None, but what if Jungkook avoid the war? That decision....  Will hurt the human boy" The first deity said.

"You don't want to convince him?" The third deity said.

"No, I promised myself.....this time around. But I hope his decision will be for the best, I want Jimin to be happy, no matter what." The first deity said.

"Either ways, I think Jimin will be happy, but Jungkook..." The second deity shook her head.

NIGHT, BAEKJE PALACE**

Emperor Jungkook was walking alone in the palace field, just like last night, his body was restless.

Still the same feelings, strange but familiar.

He sighed out and kept walking but then the breeze increased, it started blowing around him alone and he stopped.

"Show yourself" The emperor said calmly without moving.

"Do you miss me? Hyung?" He heard that voice and he turned.

His eyes widened immediately he saw the image standing in front of him.

"Taehyung?" He called.

"You're not even scared to mention my name" Taehyung chuckled.

Walking closer in his black robe, in a blink of an eye, a sword appeared in his hand and vanished, the next second he appeared it was right next to the emperor.

He slide the sword toward his tummy but the emperor was faster, he flew away from him and Taehyung stopped moving, he looked around but couldn't find him.

"Your back" Emperor Jungkook muttered.

Taehyung turned immediately and pushed his sword forward only to discover that nothing was there. Before he could turn, Jungkook's sword stabbed him from the back and came out in front.

Emperor Jungkook appeared in his front again.

"You're still as slow as before" He smirked.

Taehyung laughed out loudly, he removed the sword from his tummy while groaning. He removed it and the sword melted away.

He sped up to the emperor and grabbed his neck.

"Can't believe you still got guts to stab me" Taehyung said.

"Why are you here?" Emperor Jungkook asked.

Taehyung shoved his claws into his chest and threw him away, the emperor landed on the ground.

He looked down at his bloody chest and immediately it healed.

Hyunjin laughed and shone his red eyes on him.

"No!!!!" Jimin screamed and immediately covered the emperor on the ground.

Hyunjin stopped, his eyes on Jimin.

"My Lord, Gwenchanayo?" Jimin asked.

"Jimin, Leave, go" Emperor Jungkook stood up.

"How can I leave you? Are you okay?" Jimin asked and faced Taehyung.

"It was you... At the market square" He said.

"Jimin!!" The emperor called.

Taehyung smiled, still staring at Jimin interestingly.

"So what?" He asked.

"Jimin leave" The emperor said.

Jimin gave Taehyung one last look and started walking away as the emperor ordered but then, Taehyung appeared in front of him.

He touched Jimin's hair and he moved away in fear.

"What are you doing?! Don't you dare touch him!!" Emperor Jungkook yelled.

Taehyung smiled and Jimin swallowed.

"I think I fell in love at first sight" Taehyung said, still staring at Jimin.
