ㅡ all this love.

"how could anything like that happen! what are the guards doing out there?" the king's brows furrowed, eyes filled with rage as mr. lee bows down, guilt running through his veins, "i'm terribly sorry, your highness but to the crown prince's request, tonreduce the number of guards, things could not be stopped" the older male sighs, "where is he?"

"he doesn't want to come out of his confines, i'll try again later on" the male nods before dismissing the other out of his office.

"whatever it is, we have to find who threw the eggs at the prince" the queen says, voice filled with rage as her mother tried to calm her down. "he's now resting in his domain, he doesn't want to talk to anyone at the moment" the queen sighs as the words came of one of the servant's mouth, closing her eyes because she knows it must have hurt her son's pride, something like that happening in public is not what should be done to a member of the royalty.

jimin's mind was filled with thought, effectively ignoring the other's presence beside him till taehyung waves a hand over his face, "sorry" he mutters out and gazes away.

"that worried?" taehyung says aloud, making the silver haired turn to face him, "he hasn't come out since yesterday, it must have affected him that badly, i wanna be in there with him" a pout forms on his lips and taehyung inwardly chides, do you love him that much? even when he doesn't love you back?

"i think it's best if you let him be on his own for now. i tried to see him earlier but he didn't want to either" jimin looks up, "really?" taehyung shrugs, "don't you know about his pride? jungkook doesn't like receiving negative comments, doesn't like pity, the event might have thrown him off, he wasn't expecting anything like that, that's why he isolates himself for now, doesn't want people seeing him in pity"

jimin still has a sad demeanor to his face, fiddling with his hands, "but the look he had on his face yesterday, i can't get it out of my head, it makes me. . ." his words stops on his tongue as the blonde suddenly took one of his hands that was on his thigh in his, caressing it softly, gazing at jimin who tries to pull his hand back, the air changing between them.

"you're lonely aren't you?" when the male doesn't answer, taehyung continues, "even if you look cheerful and carefree on the surface, i know it isn't like that" jimin looks at him, perplexed, "cheer up" jimin removes his hand from the other's hold, sees taehyung worrying his bottom lip as he lets go reluctantly. "thank you, taehyung"

jungkook steps out of his room after his bodyguards left, going over to see jimin's door ajar, peeking inside to find no one, until his eyes travel to the garden outside, heart clenching a little too much as he looks away, slowly walking back.

jimin stands up, making taehyung sit up, looking at the silver haired questioningly, "i have to go see jungkook, it doesn't matter if i get chased out, i just have to see whether he's alright"

"what if it makes him angry? if. . .if it was yugyeom, it'll probably make him feel better" the words made jimin snap his head to look at the other, taehyung avoiding eye contact as he looks away. "no matter what he thinks, i'm his husband now after all, especially after what had happened, i should be by his side now" he throws taehyung a small smile before leaving.

the silver haired doesn't realise he had tears running down his face as he slowly went to jungkook's room, only to find it empty until a sound resonated from behind, "where have you been?" jimin turns, sees the black haired slowly walking to him, "are you crying?" he says and jimin wipes his tears, avoiding the question.

"are you alright?" jungkook scoffs, hand going up to his own face, "of course, getting hit by eggs won't kill me" jimin sniffs, glancing up at the other, "i guess you're fine, i just thought-"

"it was the first time i've encountered something like that, i was shock. also, i didn't want people around me to be judgemental, but at the same time, none of them came close" jimin looks up, mouth opening but jungkook continued, "i thought you would have come, aren't you good at it? judging the situation and making things better? i thought perhaps things would have been better if you had come, but. . ." the male chuckled, stepping closer to the silver haired, a finger coming up to tilt his chin up, "openly laughing and talking with your cousin-in-law wasn't it?" he releases the hold and laughs, the sound bitter in jimin's ears, "i think i better go to the horse riding club ranch"

jungkook moves away to his room but before he could enter, arms were suddenly wrapped around his waist, a body lock behind him, "i'm sorry" the male utters, tightening his hold, "i'm so sorry" the tears didn't stop and jungkook's hands closes over his, too stunned to react as his chest warms, but it still hurts, so with the hold, he squeezes the petite hands before releasing it, making jimin back away, not even glancing back as he enters his room and changes before going to the horse riding club.

there's a ball later on in the evening, different ambassadors from different countries coming over to congratulate on the newly wedded crown princes although it had been sometime, and jimin really isn't in the mood but still follows the order he had been given to try out his suit while jungkook is away.

jungkook gets off from his horse, away form his friends who had been talking about his husband, getting a little bit pissed at them. he doesn't notice yugyeom getting down from his horse to go closer to him.

"we were insulting jimin, you didn't like that, did you" jungkook remains silent and yugyeom stood beside him, "didn't you say i should always be by your side? but now, someone who isn't even worthy to be by your side is with you, i can't accept-"

"don't you ever say that jimin isn't worthy of me. it says a lot about yourself, and the others" the black haired growls threateningly before leaving, putting his horse back into his stable and saunters back to the palace, glaring at his so called friends.

jimin looks at himself once more in the mirror, wearing a white suit in contrast to jungkook's light blue which he had seen earlier on before the other got back to his domain, which hugs his body just right, silver hair styled upwards and perfectly, and puts on his cologne before stepping out of his room, the same time as the black haired across the room did.

jungkook's eyes widen as his breath got caught in his throat, watching as jimin moved around his room. the male was breathtaking and mesmerising, making jungkook get caught in a trance until the said male uttered out his name.

jungkook walks up to him, gazing at the other which made jimin look away because jungkook looks astonishing, his dark eyes boring into him makes jimin all giddy inside.

"you're beautiful" the male breathes out and jimin freezes because it's the first time jungkook has ever complemented him, cheeks heating up. "i. . .you look good yourself" jimin makes a move to enter the main ballroom, slowly filling up with people all across the globe. all attention suddenly were thrown on them as the queen introduces both princes, getting applauds from all over the room. both males sticked together throughout the whole event, greeting people as they pass by while their fingers were interlocked together. a warm feeling spreads through jimin when jungkook squeezes their hands but he wills himself to not fall into his feelings and thoughts.

taehyung arrives with his mother, causing shock in the king and queen when they saw the woman walking in, camera shutters going off as people crowd around them. she sees the eldest in the room and bows down to her, the woman motioning for her to come over.

"i have not been in contact for a long time, i came here as a form of greeting as i have returned with my son" the old woman put her hands on taehyung's mother shoulders, bringing her up from her kneeling position. "it's alright dear, you're still a someone here, right, your highness?" the king nods, memories flashing in his eyes.

the family headed back to the ballroom, sees a couple dancing and waltzing across the room beautifully till the end until jungkook was in the spotlight. he smiles before extending a hand out to his partner, who hesitantly reaches for it.

the couple waltz across the floor, both of them clearly having a talent in it as people gasp in awe and claps were heard. the music slows down to a romantic one, jungkook wrapping his arms around jimin's waist as he placed their foreheads together, his dark midnight eyes locked onto warm, honey brown ones, the hands on his neck wrapping around tighter as they slowly move against one another with the rhythm.

"i wished i would have said this sooner, but, thank you" jungkook whispers against his lips as they moved, the silver haired gazing at him in confusion, "what for?"

"for staying by my side, for everything" a small smile blossomed onto jimin's lips as he moved closer, hears the hitch in jungkook's breath as the male's eyes fleets from his eyes to his lips, hands moving up to his black locks and jungkook gazes at jimin, his eyes holding confusion this time round until his breath got knocked away.

the fireworks that were in the sky couldn't be compared to the ones exploding in jungkook's heart as soft lips were meshed with his, eyes fluttering shut as lips slide against one another.
