A watery laugh escaped him.
“Jimin.”
“Yes?”
“What if it has his eyes?”
The servant immediately smiled.
“Then it'll be a very beautiful child.”
Taehyung looked down at his stomach again.
“I always wanted a family with him.”
As though they were strangers.
As though he hadn't spent years calling him Petal.
As though Taehyung hadn't spent half his life loving him.
Then Jungkook smiled politely.
And walked away.
Straight to the far end of the banquet table.
As far from Taehyung as physically possible.
The message couldn't have been clearer if he had spoken it aloud.
The rest of the evening passed in a blur.
Nobles approached their table one after another.
Offering congratulations.
Blessings.
Gifts.
Everyone seemed delighted by the future union between Prince Yugyeom and Crown Prince Taehyung.
“Because if Jungkook survives the Red Thread Ceremony...” He looked toward the distant palace where the Crown Prince waited.
“He'll discover what Taehyung truly is and then he won't back off from claiming him.”
The King sighed, he doesn't know how to stop his mate anymore. The Queen seems to be fixated in getting rid of Jungkook, someone who has protected their kingdom for ages!
“The only reason Jungkook agreed to left our son is because we convinced him that Yugyeom would be an ideal match for our pumpkin rather than Jungkook himself. You know how tough it is to be with witch! Do you want our son to suffer?” The Queen exclaimed.
The room grew still.
“He should never know how we got the prince.”
The words made the Sihyuk visibly tense.
“But—”
“No.”
Ji-sung cut him off. His voice carrying the authority.
“You've seen the prophecies.”
His gaze hardened.
“You know exactly what happens if the Jeon Witch learns the truth.”
The Queen looked away because he did know.

Imagine an alpha and an omega.. who have been dating for a few months.. but the omega has always been a bit shy and cautious about showing affection in front of other people.
+ another dream his heart had learned to survive inside.
Jeongguk didn’t give him time to overthink it. He leaned in slowly. Like Taehyung might disappear if he rushed.
Their lips met. Soft at first, barely there. More like a question than a kiss.
Namjoon sighed. “The point is that someone came all the way here because speaking to you mattered enough to try.”
Taehyung’s expression faltered slightly. Still, he shook his head. “No.”
Namjoon looked skyward briefly as if asking the ancestors what he’d done to deserve this.
