"You went there again?!"

Seokjin tensed up at his bestfriend's stern voice.

The corner of his lips tugged downwards and he closed his eyes;internally whining and praying to the almighty to send some help to him.

Licking his lips,Seokjin finally turned around from his horse to face his furious caretaker.

Before him was standing a glaring Yoongi with his arms crossed upon his chest and a concerned Hoseok who seemed to be worried about Seokjin's endangered life.

The Elder Prince's lips formed a sheepish smile as the beta slowly strided towards him.

"Yoongi....I...I can explain.Well-",he stuttered but his brain stopped working as he noticed Yoongi's jaw clenching.

It meant that Min Yoongi is ready to kill someone right now and nobody can stop him,so you better run for your dear life.

Seokjin gulped and closed his eyes;praying to the God one last time to save him.

As Yoongi stood only one hand away from him and opened his mouth to say something,a soft sound of someone's foot rapidly touching the grass caught the trio's attention.

All of them raised their heads towards the source of that sound and what they found was a pale looking Jimin running past the royal stable;completely unbothered by the other's presence.

Before Seokjin could process what just happened and what could be the probable reason of this kind of behavior from the omega;Yoongi quickly gestured Hoseok to follow his cousin.

Hoseok nodded at Yoongi and bowed at Seokjin before sprinting towards the direction where Jimin went.

Seokjin curiously looked at the beta who sighed while staring at the Royal castle.

"It must've something to do with younger prince.",he mumbled.

Seokjin frowned.

"They still haven't solved it out?!",he asked worriedly.

He didn't expect it.Jeongguk and Jimin never really hold grudges against anyone; forget about holding against each other.

They've been quick to make up since their childhood.

'Then what is wrong with them this time?!',he asked himself.

"I thought they did.But....I guess only Younger Prince can tell us what actually happened.',Yoongi stated as he looked back at Seokjin.

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

Seokjin sighed and glanced at his brother before looking back at his own hands once again.

The Younger Prince's bedchamber was filled with silence and awkwardness as nobody dared to utter a single word.

Glancing again at his brother's face, Seokjin couldn't keep it anymore and let out a loud huff.

"Alright first thing first; you don't need to be so shy or uncomfortable about this,understood? Being an omega myself,I completely understand Jimin's problems and weaknesses so all of this is not at all unfamiliar to me. Now coming to the point,if he had chosen you as his alpha at his very first heat;if he has been able to calm down his pheromones by your and only your scent since last ten years,then....he is without any doubt your fated mate.Ofcourse he would be open about his feelings towards you;that's more than a natural gesture of an omega.You're his alpha Gguk!;the only person with whom he can be himself without a second thought.So just don't act shy around him because of his confession.It would make him ashamed of himself. See what happened?!I hope Hoseok has found him."

Seokjin took a deep breath after his huge preaching session.

"Fine! It was my fauly,I know ! I shouldn't have remained silent after his confession. But...hyung... I... I didn't...I couldn't understand what I should do. I was....I was worried about Jimin-hyung...",the younger muttered;his eyes fixed on his shoes and hand clasped together.

"What? Why?! I don't get it Gguk,what are you trying to say?!",Seokjin blinked rapidly.

He couldn't figure out if he should comfort his brother or should yell some more at his stupidity.

If Alphas are possesive and overprotective towards their omegas;then Omegas are a lot more sensitive when it comes to their mates.

One unusual behavior from the mate and the omega is doomed with self-shaming and insecurities.

"You didnt understand hyung. Younger prince is talking about My Queen.",another person who had remained silent all this time,suddenly spoke up;breaking Seokjin's chain of thoughts.

Jeongguk slumped his face in between his hands;his ears turning red because of embarrassment.

"Yoongi,can you just pretend to be not here in this room?!", Seokjin glared at the beta before mouthing a silent "He is getting embarrassed!" and the later just rolled his eyes.

"Well...Yoongi hyung is right though,hyung...Its about...Eomonie. She would never accept this, hyung! What if she....she gives any kind of...punishment to Jimin-hyung! Hyung... I-", the young alpha's voice cracked as he reached out for his brother's hand.

Seokjin sighed.Yes,he forgot the most important problem.Their mother; no,the Queen of Southern Kingdom.

He scooted closer to the alpha and rubbed his back gently; his other hand that was held in between Jeongguk's own,transferred a huge amount of soothing pheromones into the younger's being.

"You can't reject his feelings just because Eomonie wouldn't approve it..."

The two brothers startled at the sudden presence of their sister.

"Eomonie didn't approve our relationship too.But both of our brothers stood beside us and see...now even Eomonie can't do anything against us.But as she is more protective towards your reputation,you've to make your own stand in this situation,Gguk.",Jisoo said while sitting next to his younger brother; holding his another hand into her own.

Jeongguk shook his head.

"Eomonie would never have harmed Lady Jennie. She is Duke Taehyung-nim's sister,Noona!There's a lot difference when it comes to Jimin-hyung."

"Then you have to become his shield! Just listen to your heart,Gguk.If you really love him,then you have to go against all of your uncertainties and make sure that nobody can harm Jimin.....and remember that we're always there by your side.",Jisoo stated before tightening her grip on the alpha's hands.

The youngest among them looked at his sister. He took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

"I will....I will protect him,Noona.I won't resist myself anymore.I....I won't hurt him anymore.",he said and smiled at Jisoo who patted his shoulder in a proud manner.

Yoongi was a bit taken aback. Not because of the conversation the siblings were having, but because of the way Seokjin was listening to Jisoo's each and every word.Quietly and attentively.It seemed like the elder prince was having some kind of inner turmoil inside his mind!

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

"Jimin is a bold omega to be honest...",Seokjin said absentmindedly as both he and Jisoo were standing at the edge of the palace's balcony.

Jisoo looked at him with an amused expression.

"I mean....he had the guts to confess everything infront of his alpha.",he trailed as Jisoo hummed with a nod.

Through the corner of his eyes;Seokjin could see Taehyung speaking with three other nobles in the royal garden.

He quickly averted his gaze from the alpha,trying his best to ignore the younger's presence.

"That's true though.... I myself was in a major denial in the beginning of our relationship. I....didn't even wanted to admit my feelings to myself.",the younger omega muttered.

"Then ?",the elder asked with wonder in his eyes.

"Then I did exactly what I just advised Gguk.I listened to my heart and followed its needs.And I don't regret one bit of it.You just have to....you know,brush off all of those uncertainties and obliviousness.",Jisoo answered with a smile and Seokjin mirrored him.

"Just listen to your heart...",Jisoo's words echoed inside his mind and he looked back at the young duke standing in the garden.

Turned out that he was not the only one to notice the other's presence.Taehyung too,was looking back at him and as soon as Seokjin caught his gaze;the younger greeted him with a small nod and a gorgeous smile plastered on his face.
