The change that came over the crown prince's eyes as they came to the other country was unbelievable. Jungkook always thought that the prince looked proud and smug but this new look, makes the old one seem soft as a cloud.

The gaze in the prince's eyes were so powerful and intimidating that Jungkook found himself unable to even look at the prince's eyes directly. He almost felt sad for the other king.

Taehyung knows how important this treaty is and wants to make no mistakes. He greeted the king politely, with Jungkook being as the translator and after exchanging the gifts they brought, they proceeded to sign the agreement.

Taehyung felt a certain giddiness as Jungkook was standing very close to him, translating the king's words in to his ears. Taehyung felt Jungkook's breath fan his ear occasionally, giving him goosebumps.

After the official procedures were done, a feast was prepared in celebration of two country's union. The king was not present however and his son, the crown prince Kai was representing their side. Jungkook was ready to act as the translator again but it was not needed as prince Kai was fluent in english.

"Welcome, prince Taehyung. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Likewise, prince Kai."

"Shall we join the feast then?"

"Sure, lead the way."

Hoseok and Jungkook stayed close to Taehyung throughout the lunch and it didn't escape prince Kai's notice.

"You don't need to keep your guards or your translator with you here. As you can see, you and I can speak without a language barrier."

Taehyung saw Hoseok stiffened at that and gave a little laugh to prince Kai.

"That is true, prince Kai, but I actually like to keep my translator close. I find it difficult to concentrate when I don't understand what's being said around me. And as for my guard, well he's more of a friend and I'm comfortable with him around." Taehyung answered in a diplomatic way.

Taehyung noticed the way Kai looked at Jungkook, as if he's trying to measure Jungkook out. Taehyung felt annoyed and troubled so he finished with lunch quickly and said that he will go to his room as he was tired.

After the lunch, the prince Taehyung and others were directed to the rooms that were arranged for them. Taehyung visibly relaxed after they went in to the room. Hoseok followed him inside too.

"That went well, I think." Taehyung said as he massaged his temples.

Hoseok gave a nod. "As much as we could hope for."

"We should leave tomorrow morning. I'm not comfortable with Kai. It seems like he's planning something. " Taehyung said and Hoseok agreed.

They were talking over few points of the meeting when someone knocked on the door. Hoseok opened the door and saw it was one of his men.

"Captain, you have come quickly!!" The guy looked out of him mind.

"What's wrong?"

"It's Jungkook, he's gotten himself in to a trouble again." The guy explained and both Hoseok and Taehyung quickly followed the guard.

They reached a main palace and saw that Jungkook was on his knees, held captive by three people. Prince Kai was there, looking all smug.

Jungkook looked up as Hoseok and Taehyung reached him. Jungkook has never felt more relieved to see them both.

"What's the meaning of this, prince Kai? Why do you have my translator in captivity?" Taehyung asked with an authoritative voice.

"Ahh, prince Taehyung, I'm glad you are here. This translator of yours was seen walking in to a room with one of our maids. It seemed that he tried to force her." Kai said with a smug smile.

Taehyung felt his blood began to boil. Ofcourse he knows that Jungkook is not a person to do such thing but accusing the crown prince of this country is not going to go well for any of them.

Hoseok put a hand on Taehyung's back, in a silent plea to be cautious. This could go very wrong if they didn't handle it properly. Taehyung subbed his inner rage and gave a small smile to prince Kai.

"I assume you have proof of this claim, prince Kai."

"Ofcause I do. Would you like to hear them?" Kai asked in a sickly sweet voice, making Taehyung have a sudden urge to punch the guy.

"That won't be necessary, prince Kai. May I know what punishment you are going to give him? I hope the maid in question is not harmed."

A look of confusion flashed over Kai's face which he quickly covered with a smile.

"Well, I'm not sure, prince Taehyung. I haven't really thought about it."

"Well, do let me know. Or if you want, I can make necessary arrangements for a suitable punishment."

Kai looked even more confused. He was doing some quick thinking and spoke up after few seconds.

"Well h-how about we put him in our prison cell for two nights then?" Kai said with an unsure look.

"An excellent idea, prince Kai. That's be able to teach him a lesson. Well if that's all, I'll return to my room. Taehyung said as he gave a slight bow.

He turned to go back and looked around after taking few steps and looked at Jungkook. The guard was looking at him with horrified eyes.

"I'll see you day after tomorrow, Jungkook. Behave!!"

With that Taehyung walked away with Hoseok, leaving Jungkook stunned on the floor. Taehyung walked fast to his room and let his facade fall only when they were inside.

He was fuming with anger and didn't realise that he was shaking too until Hoseok held him by his arm.

"Calm down, your highness. You did well to mask your emotions." Hoseok said in a soothing voice.

"How dare he?! How dare that bastard try to frame him??!!" Taehyung was having difficulty to even speak.

Hoseok looked troubled too. "But you handle it well, your highness. It could have been lot worse."

"Find out what happened. I want to know every detail. And make sure he's ok. I'll kill that bastard Kai myself if anything happens to Jungkook."

Hoseok made to leave the room but stopped when he heard the prince speack again.

"And cancel the arrangements to leave. I'm not leaving here without him."

Hoseok gave a nod and left the room, Leaving the fuming Taehyung behind.

Jungkook still couldn't believe what happened as the guards dragged him and put him in a stinking cell. All he knew was that he fucked up, again.

He was standing outside the dining hall when a girl approached him. She looked so scared and vulnerable so Jungkook naturally inquired about what's wrong.

The girl said that she has some information that will be important to prince Taehyung but she couldn't give it to him. Jungkook assured the girl that he will pass whatever the information and the girl asked him to follow her.

The next thing he knew was that he was being led to a room. It looked bit suspicious but Jungkook thought to see it through as this might be something important to the prince. Even if it was a trap, better him than the prince getting caught.

Once they were inside, the girl suddenly started to scream and Jungkook realised what's going on. He couldn't believe how stupid he had been.

He felt immediately relieved when  prince Taehyung and Hoseok came, but to his surprise, they didn't even look at him. Prince Taehyung even encouraged the other prince to punish him.

He tried to tell himself that it's exactly how he should expect an asshole like prince Taehyung to behave. But he knew in his heart, he actually expected the prince to save him, in someway. Against his better judgment,  his heart felt somewhat safe in the prince's presence.

Until now that is. Now he has to spend  two nights in this stinking cell, which is because of his own foolishness so he can't really blame anyone.

But one thing is for sure. Jungkook will not be able to sleep as long as he's in this cell. It's going to be rough two days.
