Song: "Let Me Out" by Jonghyun
(So it will seem that events are taking place a little fast in this chapter, because I don't wanna bore you and because I know y'all here for Vmin)

The Royal Palace was lighted up with lights and decorations.

It was a night before wedding. Both the Royal families were gathered for the pre wedding celebration as tonight's show was held by Onew and Jonghyun.

They were the main Royal singers and were gonna perform. Who knew it would be so hard because it's their lovers' wedding...

Jimin was anticipating if Jonghyun would come or not. He had told him that he would show up but he was still a little anxious. He helped Daewon to dress up for the night and headed towards the main hall. Daewon was leaning on Jimin, because really didn't want to marry Taemin. She always had seen him as her older brother. Nothing more than that. She used to visit Kim's once or twice a year and that's when she had met Onew.

She held her breathe hoping something would happen and kept walking with Jimin. While walking Jimin suddenly stopped in his tracks. She looked up to see Jimin was staring at one direction.

Taehyung.

Oh, she literally could feel these two had definitely something going on between them. But she chose not to question. Her own life was in mess. Taehyung just stared at Jimin for few minutes before ignoring him completely and walking away. Jimin let out a sigh. And all she could do was pity the other omega.

_______________________________

All the people had gathered already and the show had started.

Taemin and Daewon were sitting besides each other on the throne lower than the King and Queen's. First was Onew. Onew came up on seat and sat on it before he started singing.

~Your scent blows in the cold wind
Scatters past my head
If I silently close my eyes I can recall you
You're coming back to me

You flutter by every street
Tears keep falling because the memories are alive
Forgetting you is still so hard
I miss you and miss you~

His soulful voice filled up the hall. Jimin who was standing behind the couple looked down at Daewon who had her eyes filled with tears. Jimin leaned to sooth her by whispering few words. Before that Daewon stood up and excused herself from the ceremony.

Seokjin stood up to ask her if she was alright but she shrugged saying she is not feeling well. So he just gave her a look of concern.

Soon it was Jonghyun on the stage. Jimin looked at him warily. He looked exhausted. His night queen scent was fairly faint and bitter. He took a deep breath before started singing.

~My line of vision has fallen
Not because I lost you
But I know I can't hold you even if
I miss you to death
Ever since we let go of each other's hands
I have gone blind
Now I don't care who it is

Someone please hold me, I'm exhausted from this world
Someone please wipe me, I'm drenched with tears~

Not just Taemin but almost everyone present there started tearing up at his broken but still beautiful voice.

Jimin couldn't take it anymore. He have to do something. As soon as Jonghyun's performance ended he left to catch him.

"Hyung!!", Jimin called out while Jonghyun was walking away. He turned around with that sullen look in his eyes.

"I have a plan. I have already talked with Daewon noona.", Jimin said hurriedly.

"What plan? What are you talking about?", Jonghyun asked furrowing his brows.

"Listen Hyung, I have everything planned out. Tomorrow before wedding we will swap you with Daewon noona. You will be in her place in the veil while Daewon noona will be long gone with Onew Hyung. Besides no one will ask you lift the veil until the actual mating ceremony. Once you mate with Taemin Hyung no one will be able to do anything about this....", Jimin finished telling his plans and looked at Jonghyun's reaction. Unexpectedly he was frowning.

"Does Taemin know about this?", Jimin was taken aback by this question.

"Um... N-no... But-"

"Then there's no use. If he's not willing to do anything, then why should I waste my time? We will never be happy like this if just one of us keeps holding onto the rope.", Jonghyun said. Jimin tried to speak but he cut him off.
"Anyway, I will take my leave.... This was my last show. I'm not strong enough to face Taemin after tomorrow's wedding."

Jimin was left speach less...

Minho was waiting for Jonghyun outside the Royal courts to pick him up.

He was worried about his baby brother. After so much enquiring finally Yoongi told him about his little love affair with Prince Taemin. And he was left surprised. He was worried since Jonghyun suddenly asked him for permission to move to other town to their relatives.

He was helpless, so he gave him his permission. Jonghyun will leave town tomorrow morning. So he wanted to spend some time with his baby brother before he goes away.

It was stressing him, since his mate, Yoongi was also in his 7th month of pregnancy. He wanted Jonghyun to stay for his mate, but nevermind. Yoongi and him understand Jonghyun.

He was lost in thought when a voice came from behind.

"Hey..."

He turned away to get surprised looking at the beta standing there with his usual sunshine smile... But just awkward.

"Hey.", He replied shortly.

"How are you, Minho Hyung?", Hoseok asked awkwardly while his cheeks were tainted a little pink.

"What did he say?", Daewon asked Jimin worriedly.

"He said that he's not gonna do it.", Jimin said sadly. Daewon got distressed.

"What!? Then what will happen now?", Daewon asked teary eyed. Jimin stood up, giving her a firm look.

"Don't worry Noona... You run away tonight with Onew Hyung.", Jimin said.

"But what about wedding? They will be so furious if the wedding breaks this time... I don't know what will happen if same thing happens again about Taemin oppa, Kim's will not keep quiet this time.", Daewon said with horror look on her face.

Jimin was in deep thoughts. He thought about something and turned to Daewon.

"Don't worry Noona. You should pack now for tonight's escape. I will take your place tomorrow."
