The lunch was been served in the training grounds which were prepared with tents under which the chairs and tables were already been placed, there was chatter all around as the pack members had their lunch.
Jungkook sighed for the nth time pulling his coat, his hand reaching up to the crown on his head as he was afraid that he might lose his crown, he was also seated but his chair and table was placed higher, basically every pack member could see him.
He couldn't understand that why is he supposed to be the highlight of the ceremony while literally eating, he was extremely uncomfortable seeing people glance at him every now and then, he was almost on his feet ready to leave but the hand on his thigh had kept him on his seat.
Ofcourse the hand belonged to none other than Taehyung, the Queen still had his palm gliding over the prince's thigh in a calming way while he was busy eating with his another hand.
The silver metal chopsticks where being held in between of Taehyung's slim fingers as he moved them pinching the pickled radish piece and placing it between his lips chewing it, his gaze flickered over Jungkook seeing that the younger was staring at him.
A little pinch on Jungkook's thigh made him yelp as he looked away from Taehyung and concentrated on eating his own lunch, he pinched a bunch of classic korean noodles and rolled his chopsticks and placed it between his lips; he slurped up the remaining strings of noodles chewing on it.
The food was good, food always seems good when you are hungry and Jungkook was basically always hungry, he was eating his lunch when Taehyung again pinched his thigh.
"Eat with manners, people are looking up to you" Taehyung said, his voice wasn't a tone above a whisper but Jungkook still heard him.
"What do you mean? Are they going to learn eating the way I do? I don't think so; rather they would think I'm one of them, which I am", Jungkook huffed after his explanation and on purpose picked up two slices of pickled radish and messily chew on them also he swatted Taehyung's hand away from his thigh.
"But you are above them now" Taehyung scoffed and slowly pinched a small piece of spring onion kimichi and placed it between his lips chewing on it softly.
"Well sorry to burst your bubble I grew with the people you are indirectly calling lower than us" Jungkook rolled his eyes, he knew Taehyung was explaining something but he rather ignored it as he tried to catch a glimpse of his friends.
A smile tugged up Jungkook's lips seeing all his friends sitting on a single table, he chuckled seeing Yeonjun flick Hyunjin's forehead while Jennie was basically rolling her eyes while telling something to Lalisa.
How bad he wanted to join his friends rather than sitting here with boring people and eating his food silently with manners.
Jungkook rolled his eyes and continued to eat his food with a pout, his furrowed his eyebrows when the spiciness of black bean sauce hit his taste buds, again alteast the food was good.
But it was so boring, he glanced at Taehyung seeing the Queen silently eating his food with his mouth covered with an handkerchief , and Jungkook never thought he would cringe seeing Taehyung.
The way Taehyung was acting was so different and Jungkook literally felt like that he doesn't know Taehyung at all.
"Stop staring Prince" Taehyung suggested not even looking up at Jungkook.
"Ew, what the fuck? If you call me that one more time I'll seriously throw this thing away from my head" Jungkook pointed at his crown, he had his face terribly srunched before he got back to eating.
His gaze again flickered towards his friend group, he smiled seeing Soobin look up at him they held a eye-contact before Jennie shoved her face in between and smiled at Jungkook.
Jungkook's gaze flickered over all his friends who were staring at him, he saw the proud smiles on their faces and felt contended, he was eating his food while staring at his friends who were trying to convey whatever was happening on the table with exaggerating expressions.
A chuckle slipped pass Jungkook's lips seeing Hyunjin comically widen his eyes at him while pointing at Yeonjun who was busy stuffing his face with a rather large pork piece. Yeonjun caught Hyunjin and raised up another pork piece showing it to Jungkook in a way saying, 'You should try this, this shit tastes amazing!'
And Jungkook looked down his plate and found the pork piece, he brought shoved it between his lips and started chewing on the chewy meat which was really tasty, he looked up and winked at Yeonjun appreciating the suggetion getting a flying kiss back.
"Oh, I see you are interested in flirting with other omegas" Taehyung scoffed after saying his words.
Jungkook casually looked over Taehyung taking still chewing the pork piece, once he gulped he poked his tougue out at Taehyung and got back to eating not even caring about the words Taehyung said.
"This isn't a joke anymore Jungkook, there are thousands of people having eyes on you" Taehyung said as he gritted his teeth, he fisted his silk red dress within his fingers.
"They can get fucked for all I care" Jungkook scoffed, he again looked up at Yeonjun who was rather frowning at something Soobin must have said, it was confirmed later when Soobin literally shot him a hardcore glare.
Jungkook again flickered his eyes over Yeonjun seeing the yellow haired omega glaring daggers at Soobin, Yeonjun later adverted his gaze to the the trueblood mouthing, 'Soobin is being a literal bitch'
'Your bitch', Jungkook mouthed back and smirked at Yeonjun who gaped at him before quickly looking at Soobin whose glare had hardened shooting it towards Jungkook.
The crowned prince really loved his current friends but sometimes he couldn't help but think about his childhood friends Namjoon and Jin who were shifted into some other part of the country and they were long lost along the road of life and the last time he had heard about them from someone else was a year ago getting to know that they both were eachother's fated mates.
"Jungkook, what's going on?" Taehyung glared at Jungkook, his fist tightening over his dress.
"Nothing to bother you Queen" Jungkook fake smiled and later rolled his eyes, he started eating his leftover food.
The rest of the ceremony almost went in a blur, there were a bunch of people congratulating Jungkook and the poor trueblood's social anxiety had almost spiked up quite a few times in the day but he somehow controlled it; he was completely drained out by the end of the day.
Jungkook was walking towards his room with a slumped posture, he had already started undoing his coat buttons wanting to get out of it as soon as possible, he grumbled under his breath how Taehyung had literally ditched him and moved out quite early.
"I hate all his already, how am I supposed to do this all my life" Jungkook said as he paused in his steps, he bit on his bottom lip as tears that suddenly seemed to stung in the corner in his eyes.
All his anxiety suddenly rushed through him making him slightly dizzy, he took a few deep breaths and gulped a thick lump down his throat he glanced at his comfort room.
"Just a few more steps Jungkook, you can reach there" he encouraged himself as he walked towards his room with much faster steps, he opened the door and closed it behind him and slumped down the door.
"It's all going to be alright, you have Taehyung hyung and that's all you need Jungkook, you have to keep going for him Jungkook, you have to keep going for him" Jungkook said, he took a few deep breaths he could feel his irises shaking rapidly, his cornea started paining and tears were soon gathered in his eyes.
A few deep shaky breaths were inhaled by him, he was so tired to stand up that he had literally crawled towards what he calls his safe place, under the bed.
Once he was under the bed he sighed in content, he doesn't exactly know why, but this place always brings him a sense of comfort, he laid on the ground and stared at the wall ahead.
"You ca-can do it Jungkook, do it for your mate, for your love, for your Taehyung" Jungkook tightly shut his eyes, he laid there until he got enough energy to get up and move out of the room.
Entering his own room now, Jungkook looked around the room until he found the older leaning against the balcony.
A smile tugged on his lips, Jungkook walked towards the older and stood besides him, it took him a few minutes to register that Taehyung was drinking vine with the glass which was half filled with the rich red liquid also the older had changed into one of his everday robes.
"I thought you hate bitterness" Jungkook said, he shifted closer to the older so their shoulders were touching.
"It's sweet actually" Taehyung answered, he took another gulp of the wine and pressy his lips together with his brows furrowed.
"Liar, your expression says it all" Jungkook chuckled.
"Wanna run away?" Taehyung suddenly questioned, after they had shared a brief silence.
"Not without you" Jungkook answered.
"Wanna run away with me?" Taehyung added, and looked up at Jungkook who smiled down at him.
"I would love to", the younger said and leaned down placing a soft peck over Taehyung's forehead.
"Let's do it then"
Jungkook would laugh at this if it wasn't for the seriousness in Taehyung's voice, he looked at the older who was staring at him intensely.
"I'm tired of all this too Jungkook, I don't want you to do it like me. I was wrong previously, I don't want you to suffer because of me my love" Taehyung said, his eyes shining under the late afternoon sun it was almost four in the afternoon and Taehyung was drinking at such absurd timing.
There is no timing to get drunk actually.
"Hyung..." Jungkook trailed off as Taehyung turned towards him and hugged him.
"I don't want you to suffer, let's live a life you want to have because being honest I don't want you to force you anymore" Taehyung's lips quivered as he bit his lips, he wanted to say it all now that he is almost drunk.
"I killed King Hansung, Jungkook. I planned his death and pushed him down this balcony; you see that stone" Taehyung pointed at the stone that was still on it's place just like years ago, "It was all planned, I killed almost half of his family too, but the ones I killed were total assholes and a few of them needed to be killed as per the plan"
Jungkook blinked his eyes a few times trying to register the information he had gained, he knew his theories weren't exactly wrong but he didn't want it to turn out this accurate.
"I don't really know about others, but if the King would be still alive. I would have killed him by my own hands" Jungkook confessed.
"You don't hate me?" Taehyung questioned, his eyes widening as it was definitely not the reaction he expected.
"No, why would I?" Jungkook chuckled he pulled Taehyung closer to himself rubbing his hand on the older's back.
"Thank you" Taehyung didn't exactly know why did thanked the younger but he just felt grateful towards Jungkook.
"Were you serious about running away?" Jungkook questioned, he dug his hand in Taehyung's hair and pressed his finger tips on the older's scalp.
"I know you almost were going to give up and I don't want you to suffer, also what if you leave me for that yellow haired or red haired omega?" Taehyung pouted unconsciously as he brought his glass up to his lips taking another sip.
"Hyung, remember my eyes are only for you. I don't know why do you even get jealous when this boy is heads over heels for you" Jungkook said, he looked down at Taehyung who was probably drunk right now seeing the older's droppy eyes and staggering figure that was completely leaning over his built body.
"Also, I really don't want to run away. I'm going to be a strong man and do everything. It's in my fate now and I promise I will do it, not just for you anymore but for myself and my people" Jungkook said with a rush of confidence surging through him, he felt courageous afterall he didn't want to be a coward and run away.
He can do it, Jungkook will do it.
