Jungkook has been quite distant from me. Naeun was right, I won't be seeing him a lot because he's been too busy.

"I'm so curious that I'm dying!" I punched the pillow furiously.

"Stop abusing the pillow."

I look behind me to see Taehyung leaning on the doorway.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Jimin?" I threw the pillow at him.

As he caught the pillow, he pouted and ran to sit on the bed with me.

"Jimin has been avoiding me ever since I asked how his date with Yoongi went! He's ignoring me-" Taehyung got cut off by me.

"Wait wait wait! Jimin and Yoongi are gay?"

"Oh right, he never told you because I'M his best friend NOT YOU!" Taehyung
flipped his imaginary hair.

I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever, did you do anything wrong for him to avoid you?"

"No but I have a feeling something happened on his date." Taehyung crosses his arms.

"How about we help each other out. I'll help you with your little problem with Jimin and you help me with mine."

"What's your little problem?" Taehyung raised his eyebrow.

I sighed

"Jungkook has been distant with me too. He's always in his work room and I barely see him. He doesn't even come to eat!" My fave turned gloomy.

"OH OH I KNOW WHY!" Taehyung got excited.

"Spill."

"There are these two special girls that love Jungkook to death. Naeun invited them here and Jungkook is just stressed out. They're spoiled brats and they get what they want. Jungkook is especially close with one of them and even went on a date with her. Jungkook is preparing all sorts of things to make them happy because if they're not happy..." Taehyung shivered at the thought.

"These girls must be special to Jungkook." My face turned dark.

"Are you...jealous?" Taehyung held in his laugh.

"Taehyung, you just told me that two girls that love Jungkook to death are coming to the palace and Jungkook is trying really hard to please them. How could I not be!" I hit him.

"Ow! I didn't think you would openly admit it that you were jealous. You didn't deny it at all." Taehyung rubbed the spot that I hit.

"Anyways, help me with Jimin." He said

"Tell me, specifically what is going on." I sighed.

FLASHBACK

Taehyung was sitting on the couch in the palace, waiting for Jimin to arrive from his date. It was late and Jimin hadn't come back. Taehyung got a little worried and even slept on the couch in case Jimin came.

But he never did.

Jimin had been gone the whole night, making Taehyung stressed yet relieved. Jimin always felt on edge and stressed recently whenever he's in the palace. Just imagine living in the same place as your crush and the fiancé of your crush.

"Taehyung? Wake up, wake up!"

Taehyung woke up to see Jungkook in front of him.

"Oh heyyy, kookie." Taehyung giggles.

"Why are you on my couch? Go home." Jungkook rolled his eyes

"I'm waiting for Jimin, has he came home while I was asleep?" Taehyung asked

"Yes, he's in his room. You can get out now." Jungkook said impatiently.

"Look, I know this is your palace but do you have to be so rude to me all the time?" Taehyung pouted and ran to Jimins room.

"JIMIN JIMIN JIMIN!" Taehyung knocked on Jimin's door furiously.

"What." Jimin opened the door.

"So how was the date? Why'd you come home late? What'd you guys do? Where did you guys go?" Taehyung invited himself inside.

"Hey Taehyung, wanna go eat?" Jimin avoided the question.

Taehyung looked at him weirdly.

"Oh no. You didn't do anything stupid and embarrassing did you?! Jimin this was your only chance! THERE ARE RARELY ANY PEOPLE THAT LIKE YOU!"

"Excuse me? I have girls AND boys lining up for me. There are tons that LOVE me." Jimin crosses his arms.

"That's not the point. Why did you come home late? What happened?" Taehyung stepped closer to him.

"Oh would you look at the time! It's 5:00PM, I have an appointment at the orphanage at 5:30 PM, gotta go!" Jimin was about to zoom past Taehyung but he stopped him.

"Jimin, it's actually 9:00 AM."

"Oh...did I say 5:00 PM? I meant to say 9:00 AM!" Jimin laughed nervously.

Jimin ran out before Taehyung could say anymore.

In the afternoon, Taehyung walked to the kitchen to grab a snack quickly. Of course Jungkook would kick him out if he saw him in his palace.

"Oh Jimin, you-"

Jimin got up and walked out.

"Hey! You didn't even let me finish speaking!"

Taehyung started to grow annoyed. Something happened alright.

He went to Jimins room and busted in.

"Jimin! You better tell me right now, why you are ignoring me!" Taehyung clenched his fists.

"Who said I was ignoring you?" Jimin was sitting on his bed, with a book.

"But you-"

"You can leave now if you're done." Jimin shooed him away."

Taehyung growled at him like a dog and stomped out. As he angrily walked to the hallways, Jungkook bumped into him

"Taehyung? Why do you keep coming to my home." Jungkook got annoyed at people constantly coming over without permission.

"Kookie, this palace has hundreds of rooms. Why can't I be here? Selfish brat." Taehyung whispered the last part.

"And those hundreds of rooms are mine. Tell Jimin to stop inviting you over, you're annoying."  Jungkook rolled his eyes.

Taehyung glared at Jungkook

"You want your head chopped off? Just because you're a prince from another kingdom, it doesn't give you the right to glare at a king. I will put you in my dungeon." Jungkook said

"Oh kookie, What happened to that sweet innocent boy that followed me and noona around all the time back then? You used to say that you wanted to be like me" Taehyung fake cried.

"Shut up, I was only a child. I matured and realized that you are nothing compared to me." Jungkook smirked.

"You little brat. You were much better when you were younger! Constantly begging me and noona to play with you, but now you're a meanie!" Taehyung pouted.

"Why do you keep calling Naeun noona? She's only a few minutes older than you." Jungkook rolled his eyes.

"Because she acts like one. She acts like she's my older sister." Taehyung crosses his arms.

"Whatever. I don't really care, leave my palace before I kick you out myself." Jungkook walked away.

End of flashback

"Okay you didn't have to tell me the parts with Jungkook. You could've just told me about how Jimin was ignoring you." I said after listening to Taehyungs story.

"I know, I just wanted you to know how mean he is to me." Taehyung fake cried again.

"How about you just talk to Yoongi?"

"Wait. How did I not think of that?!" Taehyung laughed at himself.

"But how do I contact him? I always tried to avoid Yoongi because he looks mean so I don't have a way to contact him. I can't ask Jimin, he wouldn't tell me." Taehyung sighed again.

"Jungkook and Yoongi are best friends. Ask Jungkook." I shrugged.

"Right..." Taehyung got scared.

Back then, Jungkook was a sweet little boy who would follow Taehyung and Naeun around because they were the only ones that would play with him. But now, he got bigger and stronger.

"Oh right, what were the names of the two girls that are coming to the palace?" I asked

Taehyung shivered just thinking about them.

"Jieun and Minji."
