-"Just a bit more,hyung.Duchess Jennie said that a message has been sent from the Northern Kingdom.... He is going to be here soon,alright?"

-"W-where is J-jennie..?"

-"She has gone to consult with the physician about your and the baby's health."

-"Hyung.....do you need water?!"

-"No Yoonie....th-thank you....

-"No hyung! Not now!"

-"Its now or never Joon! Try to u-understand....-"

-"Hyung, your palms are freezing!"

-"I-I'm alright,Yoonie......please tell him to listen to me.."

-"I'm not going to listen to anyone,hyung.This is too risky!And leaving you all alone at this condition- Its Impossible."

-"I'll be fine..... I promise I will... And Gguk,Yoonie.....th-they're going to be with me,right?Joon,be reasonable... We're not going to have an opportunity like this a-again!"

-"Go,Joon..... We are here with hyung...Don't worry..."

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

Idiots.

Stubborn idiots.

Yoongi knows he shouldn't think like this about his hyung and his mate, but their actions force him to think that way.

These two know this very well that they can not remain sane without each other.Still,they always find a reason to stay apart and suffer. Each time with more difficulty, more pain than before.

But they never learn.

Yoongi still remembers the first time when they met Taehyung and Jennie.Not only because they were two young siblings who had come from another kingdom all alone and had the ambition to make their own place in this kingdom, but also because he had noticed a gradual change in his hyung from that very day.

He couldn't pinpoint it in the beginning, but he could definitely feel that there was something changing in the person he had known for almost all of his life.

His kind,caring,soft spoken Seokjin hyung was too bothered with the young alpha since day one.But,Yoongi always knew that the flushed expressions on Seokjin's face,the slightest shades of red on his cheeks and his restless pair of doe eyes that always wandered around the place till it landed on a certain alpha would lead the older into a dead end, where Seokjin would no longer remain his own.

And Yoongi was right, as always. Seokjin has become completely, helplessly Taehyung's and Taehyung's only. He wonders if there is anything in Seokjin that is still his own.

'Ofcourse not.', he answered himself as he heard Seokjin mumbling in his sleep,-

"He's here...."

The beta tch'ed and started warming up the older's cold palms once again.

"Yes hyung.... He's going to be here very soon...",he cooed at his bestfriend, brushing the fringes of coal black hair from his heated forehead.

Seokjin's eyes snapped open,as if something switched inside his mind.

"He's here....."

"Hyung-",Yoongi grabbed Seokjin's arms as the older tried to get up and sit on the bed.

"He's here,Yoonie....",Seokjin repeated firmly.

Yoongi's mind wanted to believe that the older was in a daze but the way the omega's glassy,brown eyes roamed all around the chamber in a desperate search of someone, his instincts said that maybe he is wrong this time.

"Yoongi....He is here!",Seokjin confirmed, gasping as he took a hold of his own neck and staggered out of the bed.

The beta followed him while he went towards the wide balcony with his wobbly legs.

"Hyung.... Why would he-",Yoongi's words died on their way as he saw the vampire king landing on the floor with a soft thud while his hands were clutched on the edge of the balcony to keep his balance.

Taehyung turned around at the voice of Yoongi and stared at the omega beside him for a good ten seconds.

Placing his hand on the small of Seokjin's back,Yoongi gave him a slight push,encouraging the worn out older to go ahead and hide in his safe place.

He has gone through a lot already.

Seokjin whimpered at his bestfriend's gesture, his own eyes fixed on the younger infront of him,one of his hands still clutching at the side of his neck.

"I.....",Taehyung's deep voice broke the silence,but in a soothing way.

"-......thought it'd be....faster to reach your room this way..."

Yoongi bit back a scowl as he observed the Kim Taehyung being at a loss of proper words infront of his mate.

"I think I h-have to appoint a guard infront of m-my balcony...",Seokjin stuttered, clearly in pain.

But he smiled at his own words and Yoongi watched with awe as the corners of Taehyung's lips curled up to imitate the older.

The beta smiled unconsciously. How does it exactly feel like when you belong to someone yet you cannot be with them? He doesn't even want to know how it feels.

With that shivers-sending thought in his mind,he opted his hand on his own neck and caressed the crimson mark with his fingers.

'He'll be safe....'

'He'll be alright...',he chanted in his mind as he stepped back with the intention of giving the two stubborn idiots a moment of their own.

"I....",Taehyung trailed as he slid towards the older ever so subtly.

"You came for our baby?",Seokjin asked,his voice hoarse because of his dry throat.

Taehyung shook his head,reaching out for the omega by extending his right hand.

"Y-you...",the older sobbed as Taehyung held his hand firmly while slowly advancing towards him.

"You came for me...?",he muttered under his breath.

Carding his long fingers through his mate's soft strands, Taehyung took a final step towards the older and mildly pressed his lips against Seokjin's warm forehead.

Seokjin's eyes fluttered,his omega let out a pleasing whine when the younger imprisoned him in his strong arms.

"I came for us...",he heard Taehyung murmuring the exact answer that he wanted to hear;he felt the younger's soft lips brushing against his temple as he did so.

He smiled,letting himself become limp in his mate's warm embrace and forget everything. Because,he knew that he didn't need to worry about anything as long as he was there;his safe place.

"Look at me Taehyung......",he rubbed his face against the younger's collarbone as small teardrops tickled the corner of his closed eyes.

".......Is this what you thought I deserve ?",his voice wavered unintentionally.

Taehyung's grip on him tightened at that.

"We deserve us,My Prince... We only deserve us.....and I wouldn't ever dare to doubt on that.....",Taehyung cooed softly,apologetically as his right hand cupped Seokjin's face and lifted it up.

His heart stirred at the way his omega's blue,glassy eyes were staring back at his,now soft red ones.

Seokjin whined as Taehyung planted a tender kiss on the bridge of his nose.

His omega was in full authority, teaching him how to be a perfect submissive mate.

Seokjin would have never been so pliant, so defenseless,so vulnerable infront of anyone in this world.

But with Taehyung, it has never been like the others. Kim Seokjin was the weakest in the vampire's arms. Ironically, the younger was his biggest strength too.

He fisted Taehyung's shirt and shuddered as the other nosed his scent-gland,leaving feather like kisses on his neck.

"T-taehyung......",he whimpered, Taehyung's mark on his neck burning at its own will.

His breath hitched when the younger mouthed the hot mark and grazed his teeth upon the skin.

"Oraboni!"

Seokjin frowned at the voice.

So the time has already come!

Reluctantly, he looked at the younger and then to the source of the voice.

At the entrance of his bedchamber, there was Jennie and Yoongi with their expressionless faces while staring at them.

"Jennie....I need to-"

It seemed as if the alpha couldn't hear his brother. She glared at the omega in his arms and growled,-

"If they dare to touch Hal-Abeoji, I swear Oraboni, I'll-"

"What are you saying?!",Taehyung growled back, hands protectively wrapped around the omega who was gazing at him with glossy eyes.

"Ask him! He knows everything!",Jennie snarled.

Seokjin clutched at his mate's shirt for dear life.

This was meant to happen anyways.

"The soldiers.....the alphas,the betas... All of them.... They've- They've occupied our palace.... Northern Kingdom..... Hal-Abeoji..... everyone.... Everything is now in their control,Tae!",Jennie's voice broke.

Yoongi clenched his jaws as he looked at the vampire because there was no sign of shock or betrayal in his face.

The beta's heart thumped as Taehyung voiced out calmly,-

"We are going to discuss about it later...."

"Right now,my mate is my first priority....So please,give me some time.I need to take care of him."

The determination in his voice made Seokjin shudder in his embrace once again.

What was he exactly feeling? Shocked? Or scared? Or relieved?

He didn't know. He couldn't understand himself. But he knew that Taehyung has indeed returned for good and no matter what,he is not going to leave him on his own ever again.

And yet again,Yoongi wondered if there is anything in Taehyung that is still his own.
