"I've a bad feeling about all of this,Yoongi...",Seokjin muttered under his breath.

"Me too...",Yoongi muttered back, looking straight at the gathering inside the huge royal hall.

"What are you talking about?",Seokjin squinted his eyes,uncertain of the reason behind his bestfriend's concern.

"I mean look at the way he stares at you!",the beta stated blatantly,earning a repressed chuckle from Namjoon.

Seokjin darted his eyes inside the whole hall only to be met by two dark brown ones.

He freezed.

'Not. Again.',he begged to the almighty for the second time that day.

"Seriously hyung! You should be aware of him.The way he looks at you is.... You know...too dangerous!",Yoongi teased him once again in his rather clipped tone.

"Watch your mouth will you! Stop talking nonsense.",Seokjin huffed and the two betas standing beside him shared a secret high-five.

The omega took all of his might to ignore the Duke's intense gaze.He had more serious issues to think about at that moment.

"For your kind information,I was talking about Gguk.",he said in an annoyed way,which ofcourse caught Yoongi's attention.

"Its alright hyung.Maybe Jimin is just not feeling well.",his bestfriend assured.

"All of a sudden?! And did you see Gguk's reaction when he couldn't find Jimin in his chamber?He still looks so upset!I swear Yoongi,whatever is Eomonie doing is not right.She could at least ask Gguk if he wants to marry Jennie or not!",Seokjin rambled;his forehead furrowed in worry.

"He...he didn't even tell me anything. He never does that.I insisted him so much yet he remained silent like the stubborn Alpha he is!I need some air.I'm going to die out of hypertension!",he said tiredly and dragged himself out of the hall.

Neither Yoongi nor Namjoon joined him.They knew it would be the stupidest thing to follow around an upset and tensed Seokjin.

He prefers to be alone whenever he feels down.

Seokjin went out of the hall and halted at a corner of the long balcony.

He took a deep breath to calm his mind.A lot of things had happened in a single day and he knows that it'd be dangerous for both Jeongguk and Jimin if he joins the puzzle pieces.

He should've thought about it before.He should've noticed it before.

What he could do if he knew anyways?As if his mother would've cared!

He wants to stop his mother. He wants to stop this engagement-nonsense. But he is unable to do so.Because, his mother would definitely want to know the reason and if she gets to know,It wouldn't be good for Jimin at all.

Seokjin groaned in frustration.He thought how upset Jeongguk must be without his childhood companion by his side at this special moment of his life.

He can't even imagine the amount of emotional pain Jimin must be withstanding after knowing about Jeongguk's engagement.

And he just can not do anything! What kind of a useless elder brother and elder prince he is?!

A sound of hurried footsteps caught Seokjin's attention all of a sudden.

He snapped his head towards the sound but found the corridor empty.

'Everyone is supposed to be at the hall.Then....',he thought and curiously took some steps forward.

Soon he could hear some muffled sounds from a nearby room.

Seokjin shook his head.He shouldn't be eavesdropping other's conversation.

He stepped back a little but stopped as soon as he caught the familiar voice.

-"We should stop this Jennie.... This...all of this...this isn't right..."

-"It seemed perfectly right until today didn't it?Then why not now? Was it my fault what happened today?Did I ever ask for this?! I never wanted Tae to do all this.He never asked me in the first place!",the supposed Jennie said frustratingly.

-"Still....we can not do anything about it Jennie.I know it wouldn't be easy for you.It wouldn't be easy for me either.But we have to accept the truth Jennie. You're going to be Gguk's fiancé after an hour and I...I just can't betray my own brother Jennie! Please try to understand!",the familiar voice seemed to be breaking down as the sound of muffled snobs reached Seokjin's ears.

"Soo!",he mumbled and hesitantly reached the door to open it but a hand suddenly grabbed his arm and turned him around,dragging him towards another room.

Seokjin was too dazed because of all the sudden revelations that he couldn't even recognize the person who was dragging him until they entered a room and he was pinned against the wall.

His eyes widened in shock as he noticed the blonde alpha infront of him.

"Taeh-",he began to yell but Taehyung interrupted him by placing his index finger on his own lips;gesturing Seokjin to quiet down.

Seokjin took a couple of breaths but his heart kept burning in anger and agony.

Both of his siblings are in pain.Only because of a stupid political proposal. Only because of.....

"You! All of this is just happening because of you!",he snarled.

Taehyung remained silent.

"Do you have any idea what kind of stupid thing you've done?Do you even know four lives are suffering just because of you?!Forget about the others,your own sister is unhappy because of you!",Seokjin continued his accusations.

"I didn't know about this! I....just wanted to make the bond of our families stronger -",Taehyung tried to explain but Seokjin was not in a mood for excuses.

"Like the opportunist you are!What more do you want from the royalty,huh?!You can let yourself down to even use your own sister for your benefit?!What kind of a brother you are?!",he spat.

"Enough" ,Taehyung growled and Seokjin flinched immediately.

"Nobody can ever doubt my duties as a brother. Nobody. I know I've done this in a wrong way.I should've asked for her permission first.Its my fault,I know.But.....but I'd rectify it as well.",the young alpha said in a gruff and determined voice while staring directly at Seokjin.

The omega was completely intimidated by Taehyung at that moment.

He tried his best to suppress his whimpers that were trying to escape from his mouth.He was fighting against his Omega's urge to beg for the alpha's mercy.

"I-its.....It'd be risky....Eomonie would n-never-",Seokjin stuttered.

"I don't care.I have to do it.And I will  do it,my prince.",Taehyung assured and those last two words strangely enveloped Seokjin with relief and calmness.
