"Hyung!"

Jimin's hands stopped working as Jeongguk exclaimed while entering his own bedchamber.

"Why didn't you come for three days?!", the young Alpha complained, his voice still laced with shock.

Jimin took a quiet breath and resumed his work.

"I was sick...",he mumbled.

"Oh...",Jeongguk trailed as he slowly walked up to the small man.

"I thought something wrong had happened..",he said and sat on the edge of his bed.

He noticed that Jimin wasn't even glancing at him.He was completely focused on stitching the diamond studded broach on Jeongguk's coat;or atleast that's what he was pretending.

"Everything is alright,my Prince.I apologize for my absence.",Jimin said in a rehearsed way.

Jeongguk frowned.

"Hyung...",he called for Jimin's attention but as the omega only hummed in response, he huffed and played his alpha-card.

He became restless after that closet incident.After comforting Jimin,he had brought the unconscious omega to the royal nurse and from the next day,Jimin was completely vanished!

He had asked Hoseok about his cousin's whereabouts but the older alpha gave him the same excuse that Jimin was "sick".

Jeongguk knew very well that it was a fake excuse. Now that Jimin was ignoring his gaze,he couldn't take it anymore.

"Look at me.",he commanded.

Jimin flinched and his omega whined as he looked up at the younger.

"What do you think you're doing?",Jeongguk unconsciously let out a low growl as his eyes became crimson red,suggesting that his wolf had taken the control.

Jimin stepped back as the young alpha's strong pheromones started enveloping him.

"I had so many things to ask you but you just didn't come after that day! And now you're ignoring me?!",the alpha rasped.

"I-I'm not...",Jimin whimpered;his eyes lowered to the ground.

His mind went hazy as the powerful scent of dark chocolate overwhelmed his senses.

Suddenly, a firm hand grasped his wrist and pulled him.

"I asked you to look at me.",Jeongguk whispered darkly.

Jimin had no choice but to comply.

As he looked up at Jeongguk's crimson orbs;the alpha noticed Jimin's irises turning into ocean blue,indicating the dominance of his wolf over his human side.

"You're going to answer me hm?",Jeongguk murmured, dominance still evident in his tone.

Jimin nodded in agreement.

Jungkook parted his lips to say something but an enthusiastic voice interrupted him.

"Gguk,Elder Prince was....",Hoseok stopped at the doorway as he saw both of them in a....well unusual position.

Jimin squirmed his hand to free his wrist from Jeongguk's grasp and the younger prince complied.

"Did I...interrupt something?",Hoseok asked teasingly.

"NO!",Jeongguk snapped and Jimin shook his head frantically.

Hoseok faked a cough to suppress his smile.

"Uhm..well... Elder Prince asked you to hurry up so that both of you can attend the meal together.Uh..that's it.",he said and glanced at his cousin one more time before exiting the room.

The air became thick with silence and tension as Jimin nervously picked Jeongguk's coat and started dressing him up.

Jeongguk stared at him for a few moments.

"Hyung....",he muttered.

"It is a very important day for you,my prince.Let it just pass smoothly.Please.",Jimin muttered back;now looking at the younger directly.

Jeongguk nodded.

"You'd answer me tomorrow then?",he asked with his doe eyes.

Jimin giggled and nodded as he brushed the invisible dust from the collar of Jeongguk's coat.

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

"You're looking so handsome Oraboni!",Jisoo squealed quietly as Seokjin sat between her and Jeongguk at the huge,royal dinner table.

Seokjin smirked.

"Today is Gguk's day Soo! Stop focusing on me.",he whispered.

"You're the one in fault elder prince!",Jisoo giggled.

The siblings stopped their cute bickering as the queen came and sat at the head of the table.

Everyone stood up and bowed at her.She gave them a slight nod and gestured them to sit down.

Seokjin got back on his seat and only then he noticed the person who was sitting right infront of him.

'Oh dear God please save me',he whined in his mind as the young duke stared back at him.

Seokjin quickly averted his gaze and started fidgeting with his fingers.

All the members of the royal family and all of the noblemen had gathered at the special occasion of Younger Prince's coronation.

Jeongguk is going to be declared as the crown-prince tonight.But before that,the queen had arranged a royal feast for all the nobles.

"So....",the voice of the most powerful and dominant female alpha of Southern kingdom echoed inside the huge hall.

"Before we begin...I want to make an announcement.",the queen continued and each and every eye diverted towards her.

"As you all know,today...my youngest child is going to be the crown prince of this kingdom. So,I've thought to give him a perfect present for this special day."

Seokjin eyebrows furrowed. He had a bad feeling about all of this.

"I have chosen the future queen of this kingdom;a perfect mate for our crown Prince."

Seokjin felt Jeongguk gasping quietly at his right side.

"And she is Duke Taehyung's gorgeous sister, lady Kim Jennie."

Seokjin's first reaction was to snap his eyes at Taehyung who didn't even look a bit surprised by the announcement.

'So he knew!',Seokjin confirmed.

Everyone in the hall congratulated Taehyung and Jeongguk for the new relation they're going to share in the near future.

Taehyung smiled and thanked everyone whereas Jeongguk remained silent.

Seokjin looked at his brother cautiously.

Something was definitely wrong.He could sense it.

He made a mental note to talk to Jeongguk after the meal.

But,there was someone else other than Jeongguk who became exceptionally silent after the announcement.

Seokjin,however couldn't notice that as he was too busy observing his brother.

As everyone began to have their meal,he tried to take a brief glance at Taehyung but unfortunately,the alpha caught his gaze.

Seokjin could swear his heart stopped beating for a moment but he just couldn't avert his eyes from those chocolate brown irises.

Taehyung looked at him in such an alluring way,Seokjin's heart fluttered and his palms became sweaty.

He finally looked down as a slight blush adored his milky cheeks.

'Collect yourself Kim Seokjin! Why do you always become like this infront of him?!',he scolded himself and unconsciously glanced at Taehyung once again to find the nobleman looking down at his plate with a soft smile on his face.
