"Hyung, do I really need to wear all of this?" Jimin asked as he looked at his outfit in the mirror. He wore at least three layers of clothes and what looked like battle armor.

"You need to stay protected Jiminie!" seokjin answered as he fixed the younger's outfit, "We can't have you looking nappy when out in the town square."

"I look like I'm about to go meet the king after winning a battle," Jimin tugged at the sleeves of his shirt, "can't I just wear more comfortable clothing?"

A sigh escaped the elder's lips followed by a nod as he started to help the prince out of the layers of clothes.

Jimin decided to wear a loose fitting, white, silk, long-sleeved shirt where the front was tucked into black straight-legged pants, paired with black heeled boots. He looked effortlessly stunning and breathtaking.

After adding makeup, jewelry and his crown, he and Seokjin headed to the front of the castle where Minki and Jungkook waited for them. Minki wore almost the exact same outfit as his brother, with the exception of the colors being switched.

"It took you long enough Chim!" Minki said as he linked his arm with his brother's.

"I'm sorry MinMin," Jimin said with a giggle as his twin dragged him through the castle doors, "Seokjin hyung was trying to make me wear the most ridiculous outfit!"

The brothers and Jungkook waved Seokjin goodbye as they set out to the town square. You see it's common for the twins to visit the people of their kingdom one day out of the month. This is so they get to know their loyal subjects and to make sure they are in touch with the people they are responsible for.

As they made their way into the square they saw an array of people walking about and looking quite happy.

A group of young boys ran through the square laughing and chasing one another. One boy in particular caught Jimin's eye, the boy with wings.

A smile spread across the latter's face when their eyes met. The young boy stopped in his tracks and approached the princes.

"Are you perhaps the princes?" the young boy asked shyly. Jimin and Minki nodded with kind smiles while Jungkook stood with no expression.

Jimin bent down to be at eye level with the young boy before speaking, "You have very beautiful wings, my dear. I have not seen you around here before? What is your name?"

The boy looked at Jimin with a slight blush, "I'm Yeonjun. My brother and I came here from the kingdom of Veda."

Jimin's smile grew at the boys words as he grabbed Yeonjun's hand, "I'm so glad you've made it here Yeonjun-ssi! Ondine is a safe place for all and we promise to keep it that way."

"Thank you for allowing us in your kingdom." Yeonjun smiled and bowed to the princes before running off to join his friends who were now inside the bakery.

"You really do have a way with children, hyung." Jungkook said with a small smile.

"Junie!" Kai called as the elder walked through the doors, "How was it talking to the princes?"

"They are really nice," Yeonjun answered as he sat down at their table, "though only one of them talked to me."

Soobin giggles, " That's prince Jimin, he likes talking to people unlike prince Minki who only talks when spoken to."

"Why are they out in the square?" the eldest asked, "In Veda, we almost never saw the royal family."

"They come out to greet the town once a month and make sure things are running smoothly." Taehyun pipped in as he rested his head on Beomgyu's shoulder.

"Since they are the one's running the kingdom, they have to see what is actually going on." Beomgyu added with a yawn.

Yeonjun nodded in understanding as he rested his head in his hands. They sat there waiting for Jae to come out and tell them why they needed to be here.

Soon enough Jae and a girl came out of the back room of the bakery. The girl had medium length, brown hair and wore a dark purple cloak over herself.

"Boys! I'm so glad you're here," Jae said as he and the girl walked over to the table, "I want you to meet my sister Jeongyeon. Jeongyeon these are the boy's I told you about."

Jeongyeon bowes to the boys with a small smile. She looked maybe around the same age as the boys.

"Do you want to show Yeonjun now?" Jar asked his sister. With a nod, Jeongyeon took off her cloak to reveal deep blue fairy wings.

Yeonjun stood up to inspect her wings in awe, "Noona your wings are beautiful!"

A blush spread across the girl's cheeks as she looked at Yeonjun's facial expression. The boys sat there in disbelief at how beautiful the two looked next to one another.

Beomgyu, in particular, was transfixed on Jeongyeon's beauty since he first laid eyes on her. He's never seen such a beautiful person in his life and he doesn't think he ever will again.

"Hyung are you going to let bugs fly into your mouth?" Taehyun asked with a chuckle as he poked the latter's cheek.

The boy snapped out of his trance, a deep shade of red spread across his cheeks. He hoped no one else had noticed but, of course, a certain brown haired girl definitely did.
