"Good afternoon sir Yoongi." Taehyung joined the king in the garden. He sat in front of him and the maid served their wine.
"Good afternoon sir Taehyung. Thank you for coming."
"I needed to sit with you. It is too bad that you will be leaving us tomorrow."
"Well, you know how much responsibilities a king has."
"Yes, I do now." the younger sighed. "It is not easy."
"Not at all."
"And.. about Jimin? Will you be alright?"
Yoongi took a sip of wine and cleared his throat. "I actually asked to see you because of him."
"Oh?"
"I am sure you know that we have developed romantic feelings towards each other."
Taehyung nodded.
"It has been years since I was at legal age for marriage and two years since I took over the throne. My family and my people tried to help me find a partner but none caught my attention.
Jimin is the first man to make my heart beat this way, also the first one to give me a reason to work harder and appreciate life. "
Taehyung was looking at the older, his eyes wide.
The king was talking about his friend in a very amazing way.
"This is why I would like him to come with me."
At this, Taehyung gulped.
"I would like him to be Agustus's prince."
The younger's jaw dropped. "P-pardon?"
"I know he is your knight and closest friend but I want him to be my husband. I love him."
Taehyung didn't know what to say. He and Jimin spent their entire life together, since they were childs.
He was used to having him by his side for the good and the bad.
He was not only his best friend but also his knight and his personal royal messenger.
"I-I do not know what to say, sir.." he mumbled quietly.
Yoongi nodded. "I understand it is a hard decision to make."
"I know but.. I would not like to be selfish, sir. I saw how Jimin was smiling when he was with you the last two weeks. I can say that I failed to make him smile beautifully like you did sir." Taehyung sighed. "I know that he loves you too so I would not like to oppose your union. I only want my friend to be happy."
The older smiled and offered his hand for Taehyung to shake it. "Thank you sir Taehyung."
"Y-you are welcome, sir."
