"The sun watches what I do, but the moon knows all my secrets." Unknown.
"How much I have looked for you!" Taehyung walked toward the diamond-haired and rested his hands on his shoulders. "I thought I lost you forever."
Jimin smiled. "I didn't know where to go so.. uhm I came here." he lied. He wasn't sure if he could tell him about the voice he heard the last time he got lost.
Yoongi stared at them, confused. "You know each other?" he asked.
"He was lost and the guard Woozi brought him to my house." the Elf answered. "He was so confused and scared." he smiled and caressed the younger's hair.
"He welcomed me and treated me well." Jimin smiled, staring at the King whose eyes shifted to dark green.
"I see." Yoongi mumbled.
"What are you doing here, your grace?" Jimin asked Taehyung.
"Oh, I came for business." the long-haired Elf answered. "And I was lucky to find you here, my dear."
"My Lord." Namjoon bowed to his cousin.
"Oh, Namjoon." the younger smiled to him and gently hugged him. "How have you been?"
"Well, I guess."
"I heard you have been visiting the village very often. This is very generous of you."
The Healer nodded. "You know how much I love helping other creatures."
"You are very kind." Taehyung patted his back.
"I haven't seen you in ages, my Lord." the silver-haired mumbled with a sad voice. "Why do you never visit us?"
The handsome Elf sighed and stared at the King whose eyes were now a very clear blue. "I..I have been busy lately, I am sorry cousin." he said.
"It is alright, you are here now." the Healer nodded.
Jimin was watching them, not getting their situation. He knew Taehyung was related to the healer but he ignored their relationship with the King.
"So, my dear." Taehyung turned to Jimin. "Now, that I found you, shall we go home?"
"H-home?" the younger gulped.
"Yes, you were going to stay with me anyways." the Elf smiled. "You said that you had nowhere to go and you know that I would be more than glad to welcome you in my mansion."
"But, my Lord, we already spent two weeks with Jimin and we've grown fond of him, can't he just stay?" the Wizard asked.
"Oh, it seems like someone else fell for your charms." Taehyung told the diamond-haired. "Well, uhm, the decision is yours then."
"Uh.." Jimin shyly rubbed the back of his neck. "I don't know.."
You can stay with us Jimin." Hoseok smiled. "Please?"
Jimin stared at both the Wizard and Taehyung. Both were very kind to him so he didn't know what to decide. "Uhm, I had a good time here in the castle." he smiled, looking at the Elf. "Hoseok and Namjoon took care of me and we spent time together."
Taehyung nodded. "I understand."
The two friends approached Jimin and ruffled his hair. "Thank you." they told him.
Everyone was smiling but the King had to interrupt, "Who gave you the permission to stay?" he asked.
"Oh?" Jimin gulped, feeling his grey eyes piercing his. "C-can't I?"
"I do not want you to stay."
"Your Majesty?" Hoseok raised an eyebrow. "I told you he is under my pr-"
"I do not care!" Yoongi shouted. "I do not need a stranger inside my castle."
"He is no stranger anymore, your Majesty." Namjoon said.
"He is to me." the King mumbled, his eyes not leaving Jimin's shocked face.
"But-" Namjoon and Hoseok tried to protest.
"Enough both of you! He is a distraction to you, you haven't been doing your work properly since he arrived."
The diamond-haired felt tears burning his eyes but he took a breath and lifted his head to make himself look stronger in front of the King.
Taehyung was watching and approached to take his hand, which did not go unnoticed by the King who eyes turned into the previous dark green color. "Your Majesty." the Elf smiled. "We are sorry to burden you, now we will go." he bowed.
"Oh, Jimin.." Hoseok hugged him. "Do not go, you can stay with me."
"There is no way." Yoongi mumbled. "Go back to your work."
"Your Majesty, Jimin did nothing wrong, he never bothered you during two weeks!"
The grey-eyed raised an eyebrow. "Did you just raise your voice?"
The Wizard sighed. "I am sorry." he whispered.
"Go back to your work." Yoongi said. "You too." he told Namjoon.
The two friends smiled sadly to Jimin and hugged. "We are sorry."
"It's alright." the boy was so focused on Yoongi's eyes that he didn't realize his friends had already left the castle's hall.
"It was a delight to see you, your Majesty." Taehyung said.
"The delight is all mine." the King nodded. He gave Jimin a last look before leaving too.
The Elf gently squeezed his hand. "Let's go home Jimin."
