18. Think about it

"Are you ready, Jungkook?" Taehyung turned Jungkook around in his hold and stared at him. Jungkook nodded his head slowly and blushed a little. The intimidating figure of Taehyung was just too much to handle. It was a new feeling to Jungkook and he didn't know what to do in these situations. "Jungkook?" Taehyung repeated, smirking as he watched the younger hesitate to answer him.

"I- I'm ready..." Jungkook stuttered a little and looked finally at Taehyung. "Are we leaving now?" Jungkook asked quietly, gaining a smile from Taehyung.

"Yes, we'll be leaving now, Namjoon." Taehyung asnwered Jungkook and talked to Namjoon at the same time. "Are you going after Jin leaves?" Taehyung asked, curious what the older male was thinking of. Namjoon looked like he was so deep in thought, that he didn't even hear them. "Namjoon?" Taehyung tilted his head.

"Ah, yes. I'll be going after Jin leaves." Namjoon shoke his head a little. "You guys can go now, I still have something to say to Hoseok there." He said and Hoseok turned his head torwards Namjoon.

"Alright, we'll get going now." Taehyung said and released his grip around Jungkook, walking up to the front door and opening it, revealing the dark forest ahead of them. "Whew, that's dark alright." Taehyung chuckled and pulled the younger closer to him, just in case anything were to happen. He looked at Jungkook who was shaking a little. Shaking his head, he took Jungkook's hand in his and the other hand found it's place on Jungkook's cheek, thumb moving against the youngers soft skin.

"You'll be okay, bun." He said, surprising even himself with the pet name. Jungkook could only blink and blush from the new name he was called with. It still made him a little happy.

"Well, shall we go?" Taehyung requested and began dragging the younger deeper into the forest, torwards the castle.

But little did they know, they would face some serious problems when they arrive.

Back at the hideout, Jin was getting ready to leave and he was getting more nervous by every second passing. It made his sweat and Namjoon was the first one to notice his weird behavior.

"Jin? Are you okay?" Namjoon softly said and kneeled in front of the now shaking male. "You're shaking..." He rested his hand on Jin's knee and made small circles around it to calm the other one down a little.

"I'm just nervous...it's nothing to worry about." Jin smiled at Namjoon. "I'll be fine, besides, I have to go now." Jin announced and stood up.

"Be careful..." Namjoon whispered into the other king's ear and hugged him tightly.

"Always am." Jin smiled and hugged Namjoon back. After they were done hugging each other, Jin walked up to the fron door and opened it, sighing after. It was now time to go. The start of the plan was here. "See you later." Jin grinned and ran outside, waving his hand as a goodbye to Namjoon. Soon the male was gone from everyone's sight.

"Alright, now, Hoseok. I have something to tell you."

Jungkook and Taehyung were walking through the forest, still far away from the castle, they were just about to arrive at the lake they used be at. It brought back a lot of memories from the past week. Especially to Jungkook.

Speaking of Jungkook, he was getting a bit tired from all the walking and just wanted to rest his lefs for a moment. The sudden pain made him whimper and he stopped in his tracks, surprising Taehyung who was pushed back because he was still holding Jungkook's hand.

"What's wrong?" Taehyung worried. Jungkook looked exhausted, he was probably still exhausted because of the training he did yesterday, which was understandable. It was his first time using his powers after all. "Are you tired?" He tilted his head, only reseiving a lazy nod from Jungkook who took deep breaths, trying to calm himself down in front of the 6th king.

"I'm just- a little tired... that's all." Jungkook sighed. Suddenly his legs started going all wobly and he lost his balance, gasping as he was about to hit the ground. Luckily Taehyung caught him rigth before he was about to fall.

"Hey, I got you." Taehyung reassured the younger. Jungkook's eyes were closing and opening which was a little bit concerning. Did he actually worn himself out that much? "Should I carry you to the castle, so you could sleep a little?" Taehyung asked, smiling at the tired boy in front of him. Jungkook nodded tiredly and wrapped his arms around Taehyung's neck. "Wha-!" He froze in place when the younger breathed in his neck, forming goosebumbs on his skin.

"Sleepy...Kookie..." Jungkook mumbled and snuggled closer to Taehyung, who was still shocked from his actions. The younger was already asleep when Taehyung internalized what just happened.

"U- uh, Jungkook?" Taehyngs voice wobbled because he was flushtered. He didn't know what to do with the sleeping king, who was hugging him closely. "Seriously, what are you doing to me..." He sighed and stood up. The younger's legs immediately wrapped around Taehyung's waist making him even more surprised than before. He was now carrying him, not from behind, but the younger was clinging into him from the front like a koala.

"Alright, let's go." Taehyung took a deep breath to calm himself down and started walking torwards the castle again, trying to forget about the younger who was breathing on his neck basically.

"What do you want to talk about?" Hoseok quetinoned Namjoon, who was approaching the couch, watching Yoongi who was sleeping on Hoseok's lap peacefully.

"It's about Jungkook..." Namjoon sighed. "I think there is something more about him than we think." He claimed.

"How so?" Hoseok tilted his head in confusion. He had no idea what Namjoon was talking about, but based on his expression, it was something serious. "Is there something wrong with him?" He asked again.

"Well, not something wrong, but definitely something weird is going on with him and his body." Namjoon said. "I fear that he'll lose control..." Namjoon added quietly.

"Lose control?! What are you talking about?" Hoseok furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Are you sure?" He spoke again.

"I'm very positive." Namjoon started. "I remember feeling something when we first met him. It was faint, but it was definitely there. His powers I mean." He added.

"So what you're saying is, that he might've had his powers before he was accepted as a king? But that doesn't make any sence, considering that his parents were poor. Very poor." Hoseok shared.

"I know, but still, it's weird." Namjoon massaged the bridge of his nose in deep thought. "What if... what if his parents aren't his real parents...?" Namjoon suddenly blurted out.

"What?! So you're thinking he's adopted?" Hoseok mused in confusion.

"Exactly. It would make sence, considering the fact that his parents didn't even care about him, and even killed his little brother." Namjoon sighed in frustration. "And I'm still disgusted about that." He closed his eyes for a moment to think.

"I didn't even think about that..." Hoseok breathed out. "That's crazy." He mentioned.

"I know, it's fucked up, really fucked up." Namjoon took a deep breath and continued. "So, what I'm saying is, that he might've gotten his powers from his real parents."

"But what you're saying is implying that he'd have rich- I mean, wealthy parents, right?" Hoseok acknowledged.

"You're correct." Namjoon responded.

"But have you seen anyone with wind magic before?"
