Jimin eyes opened slowly, welcomed by the darkness of the place, he sat up instantly, remembering how he was being followed, so how did he end up here?

He looked around and it's like a cave, at once he knew who it was.... Taehyung.

"You're awake" Taehyung came in and Jimin got down from the bed of rock and other soft particles.

"Why am I here?" He asked.

"Are you angry? Pretty one?" Taehyung asked with a smile.

"Why are you doing this? Just why?!" Jimin screamed.

Taehyung chuckled and sat down.

"You're really pretty" He muttered.

"I need to go, take me out of here. I'm not going to tell your hyung" Jimin said.

"Really? You two keep secret from each other?" Taehyung asked

Jimin sighed.

"I just don't want you two fighting, you should stop whatever you're planning to. It doesn't suite you" Jimin said.

Taehyung chuckled.

"Are you seriously pregnant?? For him?" He asked.

Jimin touched his tummy with a surprise look on his face.

"How....how did you find out?" He asked.

"You think he will be alive to see the child?" Taehyung asked and Jimin swallowed.

"Nothing is going to happen to him, stop it" He said.

Taehyung stood up and walked closer to him.

"You think I'm lying?"

"Yes you are!! He's not going to die!! You're scaring me!!!!" Jimin screamed.

"You can save him anyway" Taehyung said, putting his arms behind him.

"I can?" Jimin asked and he nodded before facing him again.

"How??"

"Become mine" Taehyung said.

"I can't, that's not possible. I love him not you" Jimin snapped.

Taehyung chuckled.

"Do you think I care about your love for him?" He asked.

Jimin said nothing.

Taehyung appeared before him, more closer and he ran out of the cave, Taehyung rolled his eyes and sat down.

Just three minutes later, Jimin ran back in.

"Let me go please, he's waiting for me" He said in tears.

"Don't cry, I don't like it. I'm not going to hurt you" Taehyung said.

Jimin wiped his tears.

"You might still end up as mine, if I end up taking his life, don't you think?" Taehyung asked.

Jimin shook his head.

"You're not going to do that" He said.

Taehyung stretched his hand toward his direction and an invisible force dragged Jimin to him, a gasp escape out of his mouth as he fell straight into his arms.

"You are pretty" Taehyung muttered.

"Let me go, please" Jimin pleaded.

"Right, I should let you go before I find it hard to" He smiled and stood up.

"Hold my hand, that's the only way you can go back to the palace" he said.

Jimin hesitated at first before he finally held him.

BAEKJE PALACE**

Jimin appeared in the palace passage way, he touched his chest and looked around to see if there's any one watching, luckily there isn't.

He immediately started walking to the Emperor's Chamber, he got there and the guards allowed him in right away.

Emperor Jungkook was in the room when Jimin entered, the moment he set his eyes on him, the guilt started eating him up. Did he really told Taehyung he's not going to tell the emperor about him? He felt like a cheater at that moment.

"Jimin, I've been waiting" The emperor said.

Jimin immediately ran to him and hugged him tightly.

"I'm sorry" He mumbled.

"For what?"

"Keeping you waiting" Jimin said and the emperor broke the hug.

"You look tensed, are you okay?" He asked and Jimin nodded.

The emperor kissed his forehead and touched his tummy.

"I really think I can feel him" He smiled and Jimin chuckled.

"Really? It's hardly a month" He said.

"Well I can" The emperor said.

Jimin bite his lips.

"I missed you all day" He said, taking him to the bed.

"Me too my lord" Jimin muttered and they both sat down on the bed.

"Yongbok told me about the dresses, you really don't have to....."

"You mean the emperor's beloved shouldn't dress up beautifully? That's like an insult" Emperor Jungkook said and Jimin's cheeks turned red.

"Thank you" He said.

"Come here" The emperor tapped his laps and Jimin stood up, he sat down on his laps.

"Did you eat? Should I call Miran...."

"No, I'm filled up already. I ate with Yongbok" Jimin said.

"You don't want anything else again?" The emperor asked and Jimin shook his head.

"But I heard that when people are pregnant, they eat more than usual, why are you different?" He sighed.

Jimin chuckled.

"It's funny" He said.

"What? Me?"

"You are acting like a father right now, it's funny but cute" Jimin said and kissed his lips.

"I think I prefer eating your lips than food" He whispers into the emperor's ear and he chuckled.

"It's all yours" He whispers back.

Jimin bite his lips.

"What happened? Why do you suddenly look sad?" The emperor asked.

"I met with Taehyung" Jimin muttered, his face down.

He just couldn't hide it from him.

"I'm sorry for even thinking of hiding it from you, it was him who dragged me all of a sudden and I found myself there....."

The emperor placed a finger on his lips and he looked up.

"I know" He said and Jimin's eyes widened.

"You...knew everything?" He asked and he nodded.

"Why didn't you ask me then?"

"I was waiting for you to tell me, I thought you wouldn't" The emperor replied and Jimin shook his head.

"I'm sorry" He said.

The emperor smiled.

"You don't have to worry about him....."

"His words are scary, he said he's going to hurt you and I will be alone, is that true? I don't want you to leave me" Jimin said in tears.

The emperor hugged him.

"That's all nonsense, I'm not going to leave you. So don't cry"

"I will trust you" Jimin sniffles.

NEXT MORNING**

"What's going on?" Jimin asked Yoonie as he rushed into the midst of the servants, he went straight to the front where Yoonie was standing.

"What's happening?" He asked.

"Lady Borah is leaving the palace" Yoonie whispered and Yoongi's eyes widened.

"How did you know?" He asked.

Yoonie haven't replied when the palanquin showed up, indeed Borah was inside. Behind it was Namjoon on the horse, following the palanquin.

"I think the emperor himself chased her out" Yoonie said but Yoongi didn't replied, he turned only to see that Yoongi was lost while staring at Namjoon.

"Are you planning to swallow him or something?" Yoonie asked.

"Can I swallow him?" Yoongi asked and Yoonie chuckled.

The servants kept murmuring to themselves until the palanquin was out of sight.

**

"And here we are" Miran said as he opened the door to Jimin's new suite.

"Wow" Jimin gasped and looked at Yongbok.

"Do you like it?" Yongbok asked and he nodded before going in, he ran around the whole room and came back to hug Yongbok.

"I never knew a day like this would come, honestly" Jimin said.

Yongbok smiled.

"Well it came, and here we are" He said.

"Check the wardrobe side" Miran said and Jimin went to open it.

It was filled up with different dresses already.

"Before the maids do anything, I want to be the first to dress you" Yongbok said and took one of the dresses.

"Come here"

"I will look so weird and awkward in that, I've never wore anything like this" Jimin muttered.

"No, you will look so beautiful like a prince" Miran said and Jimin smiled.

"Thank you court lady" He said.

"You're always welcome Jimin.

EVENING_PALACE GARDEN**

Jimin ran into the garden with his flowing robe, the deity was seated on the bench.

"Ajumeoni" Jimin called and ran to his front.

"Jimin" The deity smiled.

Jimin bowed happily.

"You look so beautiful Jimin, a lot" The deity said.

"Gumahwo Ajumeoni" he said before sitting down beside the deity.

"You summoned me, why?" The deity asked.

"I have a question" Jimin said.

"I'm all ears"

"Will anything happen to my lord? His brother has been saying things that scares me, I don't think I can survive it if anything happens, I can't" Jimin shook his head.

"He was supposed to leave, but he decided to stay back all because of you" The deity said and Jimin looked at the deity.

"Because.....of me?"

The deity nodded.

"He definitely want to protect you, but looking at it, Taehyung would never hurt you Jimin, he wouldn't"

"Is he...really in love with me?" Jimin asked.

"I have nothing to say about that" The deity replied.

"Then....it's possible he might hurt my lord" Jimin said.

"It's between them both, Jungkook have to take care of everything himself. Like it happened before" The deity replied.

Jimin became silent.

"Let's talk some other time then" The deity smiled before she vanished.

Jimin swallowed hard.

"I can't let him die, I can't" He shook his head and got up.

"How do I call him? How do I summon him? His name is Taehyung but how do u call him? I need to do something" Jimin said, pacing around.

IN THE WOODS**

Taehyung chuckled while staring at the water flowing in the river freely, he could hear Jimin calling his name.

"Fine, let's see what you have to say" he muttered and immediately Jimin appeared.

"You're here" Taehyung turned and their eyes met.

"Whoa, you look more pretty" He grinned, staring at him.

"I need to ask you something" Jimin said.

"About my brother again?"

"He's not going to die right? You said I can save him, you said it" Jimin said.

Taehyung smiled.

"Really? So you want to save him?" He asked.

"As long as he doesn't disappear, I can do anything" Jimin replied.

"Then.....you know how to save him, I told you already" Taehyung said.

"I will become yours, that's what you said" Jimin uttered without thinking.
