"So you two were having sex-"

"For the last time, we didn't even get close!"

"The hickeys, your shirt was off, he was practically giving you a lap dance!"

The two of them had been going back and forth for about thirty minutes now. Jimin understood why Taehyung would be upset, after all they'd been living together for nearly two years and were practically dating. Keyword: practically. They never actually made anything official.

Which is why it was always awkward when one of them ventured off with other people. Still, Jimin thought he was overreacting. "Well, what are you going to do Tae? Whip me?" he snapped.

Taehyung scowled at him. "Sure if that's what you're into now!"

"Seems that's your new thing with the prince! I had no idea you two got so acquainted when you went to the rose garden!"

"I wasn't going to whip you! I was just humouring him!" The brunette shouted.

"Oh sure, you were!"

Little did they know, the prince had been listening outside the door. After they finished writing the letter Taehyung asked him to leave so he could talk to Jimin. Jungkook wasn't too keen on leaving them alone so he waited outside.

He hated the sound of his hyungs shouting at each other. He even started to feel a bit bad for toying with them. "Why on Earth am I getting so attached?" The prince thought while running his hands through his dark hair. "They are simply my consorts, only here for my own amusement. Why do I feel like this?"

Leaning against the wall, Jungkook let out a huff in annoyance. He had sworn to himself that he saw these two as toys and nothing else. Vessels to simply entertain and pleasure him. Still, he remembered what Jimin had said to him, and told him how he felt. He remembered how much he hated the looks on their faces when he upset them. These were people with feelings. Jungkook loathed apologising, but if it made them feel better he'd do it.

The arguing came to a halt when Jungkook swung the door open and slowly entered the room. Jimin and Taehyung quickly turned in his direction, giving him their full attention. "Taehyung, please understand, it was not Jimin's idea. I just wanted to-"

Taehyung quickly interrupted him. "Shhh. It's alright bunny." He hushed. The two of them waltzed over to the prince catching him off guard.

"We talked it over a bit. And came to a conclusion," Jimin told him with a mischievous grin causing Jungkook to look at them with scepticism.

"Being...?"

Taehyung smirked and snaked his arms around Jungkook's waist and pulled him close to his chest. Jimin followed suit and got behind the prince, grabbing his shoulders and lowering his face to his neck. "That we're yours~" He whispered into his ear.

"And you're ours~"

Jungkook shuddered. He was surprised to say the least. Yet he'd be lying if he said this wasn't exactly what he wanted. He let out a low moan as Jimin and Taehyung began to leave trails of kisses down his neck, both attacking his skin at the same time. Tae pulled the prince into a heated session starting with a passionate kiss, while Jimin continued to give him hickeys and began grinding into him from the back.

The prince gasped when he felt Taehyung tease his member from outside his pants. Jimin was close behind and reached to grab his ass. "You like it when we grab you, baby?" Tae asks, lightly biting the prince's ear.

Jungkook only whined in response.

"So needy~" Jimin chuckled in his Satoori accent. "What do you think Tae? Should we give baby boy what he wants"

"Does he deserve it?" He reached down and finally grabbed Jungkook's member, earning another whine from the younger as he began to stroke it. Jimin began to suck just below his ear, finding his sweet spot and making Jungkook groan. "After all, he tried to make me jealous."

"I-I'm sorry..."

"What was that bunny?" The blonde whispered in the prince's ear. Taehyung licked the red spots in his neck and bit down.

"A-Ah! I'm sorry! Please! Do not tease me like this!"

"You needy slut," Taehyung growled. "Always messing with us. How about a taste of your own medicine?" Jungkook was too busy moaning to notice that Tae's hand had begun to creep towards his wand. If he could just grab it then they could race to the dungeon and get Yoongi.

"We'll make sure you won't walk for a week. You want that?" The prince let out yet another whimper.

"Use your words bunny," Tae commanded.

"Y-Yes please-"

The bedroom door suddenly burst open and both Jimin and Taehyung backed off of Jungkook in shock making him groan at the loss of contact. He glared at the knight who had dared to come in. Jungkook looked as though he could kill him with his eyes alone and the knight quickly apologised. "F-Forgive me, my lord!"

"WHAT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAD TO INTERRUPT ME?" The prince shouted angrily, making all three flinched at his booming voice. "SPEAK!"

"T-T-There's-" He was too frightened to even get a word out. Jungkook didn't have the patience for such timidity and smacked the knight across the face. "I TOLD YOU TO SPEAK NOT STUTTER!"

"There was an attack on Gwacheon!" The knight finally blurted out. The other three looked at him in alarm. "What?" Jimin exclaimed.

Jungkook was already five steps ahead. The moment he registered what the knight told him, he began making plans to send aid. However, he was quickly cut off. "Your highness, you don't understand-"

"What don't I understand?" Jungkook questioned irritably. "We need to leave immediately!"

"The problem has already been dealt with!"

The prince stopped dead in his tracks. "Come again? Explain."

"Ateez invaded Gwacheon, however, Prince Seokjin dealt with it immediately. Each member of Ateez is sitting in their dungeons as we speak."

Taehyung looked at him in disbelief. "Jin...?" He'd never let someone rot in prison like that.

Jungkook was in less shock and was instead quick to ask if his Hyung was okay. "What? Is he injured?"

"Not in the slightest. He's on his way to Busan now." The knight handed Jungkook a letter which he quickly snatched and scanned over. His eyes widened in confusion and then soon set in irritation. "Why was I not informed sooner? Go! And get the palace ready for his arrival!"

The knight hastily bowed and bolted out of the room in fear of further angering his majesty. Jungkook stood there with a huff and fixed himself up, tightening his pants and covering his bruised neck with his shirt collar. He turned to Taehyung and Jimin, who seemed equally as concerned, with a smirk. "I hate to leave you, but I must tend to this matter. Perhaps we'll continue tonight."

He sent the two of them a cheeky wink before his expression turned stone-cold once he exited the room. Jimin was shocked at his duality, Taehyung however, was much less interested. His mind was deep in thought. "The longer we stay here, the more I begin to realise something..."

"What do you mean Taetae?"

"This might not be the past...think about it. Magic doesn't exist where we live yet we still managed to use it to get here. We all exist as different people here, there's little to no evidence of this period, and it seemingly has no impact on our time."

Half of the things in this world didn't make sense and it bugged him. There was no indication of their history here. Yet some of the information managed to leak to their time? "So...what are you saying?"

"This might just be an alternate universe!" The younger man exclaimed. Jimin just looked at him blankly. He was much less pressed about learning the origins of this world. Rather, all he wanted was to get back to his own. "Aaaaand?"

Tae rolled his eyes with a sigh. "And you don't have to worry about disrupting the space-time continuum...or something..." He concluded. That, Jimin understood.

"Oh thank God! I didn't want to create a weird paradox and tear the world apart!"

"But there's a reason I bring it up," Taehyung continued. "Jin Hyung. In his letter, he said the atmosphere was getting to him, and that he was becoming stricter. It's only been a few days, but do you think the power is starting to get to him? Not because he's the new ruler or anything, maybe it's the new magic in his body?"

Jimin tilted his head, still slightly lost. So Taehyung recounted what Hoseok had told him. "With the throne comes new magic. Because both the king and queen of Gwacheon died, Jin consumed all of their magic, plus the magic the prince already had."

That was when it clicked for the blonde. "Oh no! Hyung must be going mad with all that in him!"

"Exactly, he'll need to release it regularly. I don't believe he'd be that malicious. Maybe that's why he took out that gang?"

"Well, there's only one way to find out..."

------------------------------

Jin had arrived around towards the late evening with Namjoon and Beomgyu by his side. Instantly, Taehyung and Jimin noticed his difference in demeanour. The way he stood, spoke and carried himself seemed so regal. Yet forced. It was something only the two of them would be able to notice after years of knowing Seokjin.

They could tell his head hurt. Further confirming Taehyung's theory about his magic making him sick. He looked tired and would occasionally need to lean on Namjoon for a bit of support. It worried them.

Unlike before, Jungkook greeted Jin with a polite bow instead of a bone-crushing hug. "Prince Seokjin, I am happy that you are okay. I apologise for not sending aid." Jungkook said politely.

"It's fine," Jin replied, somewhat weakly. "Everything's been dealt with."

"So I hear. Let's discuss shall we?" Jin glanced over at Jimin and Tae. They stood behind the prince a little awkwardly; they were unsure if they were even meant to be there. "Only if they come with," Jin told him.

Jungkook looked slightly offended at the thought of even leaving them behind. "Of course. I wouldn't leave my spouses alone."

Spouses? Jin gave his dongsaengs questioning looks but they seemed just as surprised. However, he noticed how unbothered the prince was by his statement and decided to just shrug it off. Besides, now that he was in Busan he had plenty of time to catch up.

The six of them entered Jungkook's study. He asked that no guards be present so he could speak with his hyungs alone. Instead, Jungkook's assistant and servant Huening Kai came in. There wasn't much worry since Namjoon was with them. Speaking of which - Jimin took a moment to look him over. He was the second tallest (Huening Kai was practically a short giant). His pink hair matched his lightly tanned skin. Jimin had also noticed that he had dimples when he saw him smile at the prince.

All in all, he was pretty impressed. He wasn't jealous foresay, but he could tell he was a calm and collected man. Opposed to Jungkook, who shouts when roses aren't pointed at exactly a 90-degree angle (a moment Jimin would never forget). Still, he found himself attracted to the prince. He could tell under that prickly exterior was just a kid who had been thrown into power too soon. Jimin would catch glimpses of his little bunny smile or how his face would light up at the mention of his hyungs because deep down, he was good. Jimin just wished he'd show that side more often.

Jin just wanted to make sure they were all okay. He made sure to check for any scars or bruises which were, thankfully, nonexistent. "So, Ateez?" The prince questioned snapping Jin out of his thoughts.

"In the dungeons as we speak," Namjoon informed him.

"Punishment?"

Namjoon glanced at Jin for a split second. He would never forget the insane look of glee he displayed as he practically ripped Ateez to shreds. "Torture..." The prince hummed and nodded his head with approval.

"Good good."

Taehyung, on the other hand, was the opposite of impressed. "Excuse me?" He yelled. He turned to Jin, his face a mixture of surprise and disgust but Jin was just as shocked as he was. Jungkook ushered him to calm down, but Taehyung wasn't going to back down until he got an explanation.

"What? I don't remember asking for that!" Jin muttered in disbelief.

Beomgyu nearly snickered. "Really? Because I distinctly remember you yelling 'Torture them!' at the top of your lungs." Both Jin and Namjoon shot him a glare and he quickly shut up.

"Hyung...is that true...?" Jimin asked slowly. No words came out of Jin's mouth. He looked over at Namjoon for an explanation but he only looked down.

"You...You don't remember?" Beomgyu asked in awe. The concern began to set in when Jin shook his head. Jimin and Taehyung shared a worried glance and Tae's anger soon slipped away when he remembered the situation with his magic.

The perplexed looks on Beomgyu and Namjoon's faces were enough to tell Jin he'd done something horrific. Carefully, he dared ask, in detail, what happened with the gang. Namjoon didn't hide the cringe on his face when he described the fate of each member of Ateez. He was no stranger to torture, however, it was the fact that Jin had done that put him off.

Jin stumbled back, one hand covering his mouth and other frantically going through his purple hair. His friends were quick to catch him, making sure he didn't collapse. Jungkook, who looked rather calm throughout this ordeal, shot them a small glare that neither Tae nor Jimin caught. The prince wanted them to know they shouldn't touch other people without permission. "Set him down." He instructed coldly, pointing to one of the chairs.

They obliged and put Jin down. Namjoon placed his hand on his shoulder in an attempt to comfort him, he wasn't an affectionate person in public and opted to remain professional. Both the prince and Huening Kai remained rather unphased. "This is completely normal," the latter told them. "A high magic intake can often lead to memory loss, exhaustion and aggression. My lord went through a similar situation. It'll only last another week or two." Huening Kai looked over at Beomgyu.

"Just make sure he releases his energy regularly. Whether it be through sparing execution, it doesn't necessarily matter." The silver-haired boy nodded, still looking back at his prince and checking if he was okay.

"Taehyung, Jimin, stand by me, would you?" Jungkooked asked the duo. Well, it was more like a light command. Tae looked somewhat confused but Jimin could see the jealousy in the prince's eyes. He'd known Taehyung long enough to identify envy in seconds and he wanted to have some fun with it.

While the others checked on Jin, Jimin snuck his hand behind the prince and grabbed his butt. Jungkook flinched around to give his Hyung a look of surprise which was only met with a smirk. "Jealous bunny? We said we'd give you a taste of your own medicine, didn't we?" Jimin whispered in Jungkook's ear.

The prince bit his lip to suppressed the urge to grin at the action. Instead, he just tried focussing on the conversation the others were having. "There's news of an all-out attack from Kai of Exodus," Namjoon informed the prince. "After the invasion by Ateez, I was notified that he may be planning to strike each of the major kingdoms. The gang must've been a distraction to weaken our forces."

Jungkook motioned Huening Kai to take note and continued to listen to the general. "There's a high chance Busan is first. I don't think Kai knows what happened in Gwacheon."

"Busan is a major source a power and resources," Jungkook mused. "I wouldn't be surprised if he came here first. Let's not waste time. I will prepare my soldiers for battle immediately. However, is Gwacheon safe?"

"We should hope so," said Beomgyu. "Jackson is watching over the palace as we speak."

The prince hummed. "Good, let's go. It is necessary that we prepare."

"Wait," Jin stood from his seat. "I'd like to speak with Jimin and Taehyung for a moment." Jungkook was about to protest, but his assistant urged him to get going. With a light scoff, Jungkook bowed to Jin and exits the room with the others.

"Hyung!" The younger two exclaim in unison. They raced into Jin's arms, nearly knocking him over. He didn't mind though and lovingly accepted the hugs.

"You have no idea how worried I've been! Are you alright? Did he hurt you? Have you been washing your hands? I know sinks aren't the same but you need to stay clean! No bites, no lashes, neither of you have been strangled by venomous snake plants right?" Tae and Jimin chucked at his frantic behaviour and shook their heads.

"Hyung, we're fine," Taehyung told him. "Are you though? You looked like you were going to collapse earlier!"

Jin shook his head. "It's just a lot to take in. I was given a sort of pain reliever earlier. I'll be fine soon though, don't worry. Namjoon's be extremely helpful." It made him smile. Namjoon hadn't been turned off by him, and Jin was thankful that he was still so willing to come to his aid. Even if he wasn't the original prince he loved.

There was something missing, a usual sarcastic comment that both made them laugh and hurt. That was when Jin remembered something, and with a heavy heart he asked: "Yoongi's still in that cell, isn't he?"

"Mhm." Jimin had wished he was able to visit with Taehyung but at least one of them needed to keep the prince busy. They were afraid the sole mention of Yoongi would make him angry enough to execute him.

Jin hummed. "I'll go down there now then," He told them. "With Jungkook thinking about an invasion, perhaps he'll be distracted enough for me to slip away?"

"Sounds like a plan."

------------------------------

Yoongi laid right back down the moment Taehyung left. He stumbled over to the bed, his ability to walk slowly fading away. He wasn't sure why, but he felt agitated all of a sudden. Hoseok noticed how tired Yoongi looked and sighed.

"I hope you don't plan on sleeping for another three days." Hoseok mused, half-jokingly and half-serious.

The only response he got was a huff of annoyance. He's been here for too long. This cell. This universe. This body. Every day a new prisoner gets dragged in, screaming at Yoongi at the top of their lungs. Agust D has a disgusting amount of enemies, and their useless slurs were finally starting to get to him.

Hoseok wasn't too fond of silence as an answer and banged his fist onto the metal bars making Yoongi shoot up. "Hoseok!" He shouted.

"Sorry, I appreciate it when people answer me." Yoongi wished he could smack that smug look right off of Hobi's face. Instead, he just went back to laying down.

"I'll remember that when you tell me to cry like a slut." The guard nearly choked at Yoongi's vulgar words. It didn't go unnoticed and he felt a smirk grow on his face. "Don't tell me you're the bottom?"

"W-Well...I..."

A stupid grin rose to Yoongi's face. "No way, you are! Oh, how the tables have turned."

"What's that supposed to mean?" His face grew warm at Yoongi's laughter.

"It's just that my Hobi always topped." He explained. "Not gonna lie, he was a bit of a sadist but I don't mind. I take it, is it the other way around for you?"

Hoseok didn't answer and turned his attention elsewhere. He suddenly became very interested in the brick wall in front of him. His silence was a definite yes. Yoongi continued to smirk. He crept over to the guard and whispered in his ear. "So, you wanna be my bottom bitch sunshine?"

The guard let out a screech so high only a dog could hear. "Do not be so crude!" He cried. Yoongi only stumbled back in laughter while Hoseok sent a glare his way as he watched his prisoner roll on the floor. "You two seem to be having fun." A voice said.

Both Hobi and Yoongi went stiff. The guard lowered his gaze and stood at attention, moving in front of Yoongi ever so slightly. "Prince Seokjin," He bowed. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"At ease Hoseok," Someone else said. Slowly, Hoseok looked up. Namjoon stood next to Jin and the guard let out a pained sigh. The two knights maintained eye contact as Jin and Yoongi began to catch up.

"Looking good there princey," Yoongi said playfully, winking at his Hyung. "I hear you were worried about me?"

"Hush! Of course, I was worried! I just don't know what I'd do if you were dead! What would I tell Hobi?" Yoongi coughed and tilted his head in the direction of his guard. Jin 'Oh'ed' and nodded his head. "And is he...?"

"He's practically the same, just less... bright." The other two didn't seem to acknowledge their conversation. They just kept staring at each other in a way neither Jin nor Yoongi could understand but moved on from. "I can't stay for long," Jin told his friend. "But Yoongi, listen: I need you to swear that-"

"FUCK YOU JIN!"

"NOT LIKE THAT YOU IDIOT I MEAN A PROMISE!" Yelled Jin, reaching through bars and smacking Yoongi across the head. "I need you to stay alive you miserable cat! Stay alive till we get out of this freaky place! Do you hear me? I don't care how you do it!" Jin's breath became shaky. "Just...Just don't die Yoongi...please..."

Yoongi grabbed Jin's hand. He looked at him with more determination than Jin had ever seen from him. "I'll hang on for as long as I can but...you guys need to get that wand."

"Don't worry Yoongi, we're doing what we can and I promise, we won't leave you here." Jin could tell he needed a hug. Yoongi just needed someone to hold him and tell him he was going to be alright. Jin could do only one of those. The only comfort he could offer was a firm grip on his hand.

Jin gave Namjoon a slight nod, snapping him out of his staring contest with Hoseok. He began walking out of the dungeon, but Namjoon stayed for a moment. "He's coming you know..." He stated coldly. "And you won't be able to protect him again."

"I know," Hoseok admitted quietly. "But I'd die trying. Just ask you for Seokjin."

Namjoon made a light 'tsk', turning away from the duo. "It's not Jin's head Kai wants. It's Agust's."

This isn't a smut book btw. There will be just a few moments here and there, but they won't really be in detail. Also, Kai from EXO/SuperM is also in this story, which is why I write out Huening Kai's name in full to prevent any confusion.
