14. Apology accepted

The older separated his hands and moved them in front of him. At the same time, the wall of water started moving at an incredible speed torwards Jungkook's figure. In no time, it reached Jungkook. But then it stopped,

Because a gust of wind had blown the water away from Jungkook.

"I- I just- what?" Jungkook blinked several times and watched his glowing hands in confusion. "Did I just do that?" Jungkook looked at Taehyung who was slowly clapping his hands together.

"That was pretty impressive," Taehyung huffed. "Do you want to continue with the training?" He asked.

"Sure, I think I can do that." Jungkook chuckled and got ready again. This time he closed his eyes and concentrated on his hands. How did he do it the first time?

"What would the wind feel like on your palms? Imagine the wind flying around this room, going through your body." Taehyung instructed. "Imagination is really important."

"Like... like this?" Jungkook mumbled and suddenly a small whirlwind appeared in front of him, making his clothes move in sync with the intense wind in the room. "Wo- woah!" Jungkook smiled widely at the whirlwind. "That's amazing!"

"Good, now, can you imagine something bigger? A bigger whirlwind perhaps?" Taehyung requested. He was pretty interested in Jungkook's powers, as he did not even think the younger could do something on his first try. It was fascinating for him. It was like Jungkook had already known how to do that. "Are you sure you haven't done this before?" He asked with a curious tone.

"I'm a 100% positive I have never tried anything like this in my entire life." Jungkook laughed. "By the way, why do you sound so surpr-" He was interrupted by the loud bang that could be heard from the door. It was slammed open by Yoongi, who was breathing heavily and sweating like crazy.

"Yoongi? Is there something wro-"

"Shut up, Taehyung. Come, now! We're being attacked!" Yoongi yelled at Taehyung who widened his eyes and grabbed Jungkook by the arm by instinct. They began running through the hallways, quickly getting to a safe place so they could hide. Yoongi went to look for the others and Jungkook and Taehyung were running torwards the hideout.

"W- why are they attacking the castle?" Jungkook huffed as he ran. Taehyung was still holding his hand tightly, never letting go of the younger, in fear he might lose him.

"I have no idea, just keep running." Taehyung scoffed.

Once they reached the yard, they slowed down a little. Jungkook stopped and put bothof his hands on his knees in exhaustion. "T- that was... intense." He took deep breaths. His forehead was sweating and his vision was getting blurry. "I might actually pass out from all of this." and just as he said that, he collapsed.

Luckily Taehyung gaught him before he hit the ground. "Hmph, weakling." He chuckled and lifted the younger. "I guess he was worn out because of all the training, huh?" He hummed and began walking torwards the forest, where their hideout was located.

The hideout was located deeper into the woods, much further than where the lake was. It was a big cave-like structure. Inside of it was a small house that had everything you would need; food, clothes, water, and of course medicine if needed. Taehyung had never been to the hideout, since they were never attacked. He found the house interesting and genious, as it was hidden pretty well from everything. The forest was the perfect spot for the hideout.

He opened the door, Jungkook still in his arms and stomped inside, only to find everyone else inside already. Well, except from Yoongi, who was probably fighting the rogues. "Is everyone else here, except Yoongi of course?" Taehyung tiredly asked.

"Yeah, everyone is here." Hoseok stated and looked at the sleeping Jungkook in Taehyung's arms. "Is he okay? What happened?" He ran to the younger who was unconscious in Taehyung's arms and ruffled his hair.

"Don't worry, he's just worn out because of the training." Taehyugn reassured the worrying king.

"How did it go?" Namjoon joined the converstation. "I mean the training." He added.

"He did fine. I guess he just overdid it." Taehyung sighed. "I'll take him to his room, you stay here." He lifted the youngers body a little so he wouldn't fall.

He walked through the hallway and entered a random bedroom, placing the younger on the bed and tucking him under the covers so he wouldn't get too cold. "Uh, how do I say this? I'm, uh, sorry for everything I did. I hope you don't hate me because of everything..." Taehyung sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He was indeed feeling guilty and he didn't like that feeling. He had had the urge to apologize to Jungkook since forever, but didn't find the right moment to do so.

"Sometimes I have a hard time controlling my own feeling. And I guess I lost controll over them when I snapped at you... so, sorry for everything." He confessed, even though he knew that the younger was asleep. He stil had to apologize to the younger, when he wakes up.

"Mhm, don't...worry, Tae..." Jungkook suddenly mumbled, which made Taehyung flinch. "Apology accepted." He lazily mumbled and turned around to look at the older king.

"You...! You were awake..." Taehyung lowered his gaze and looked at his feet.

"You don't need to be sorry! I'm at the fault for making you angry anyways." Jungook chuckled and suddenly hugged the older from behind. "I'm sorry for always being hurt. I can't even protect myself..." He whined and buried his face in Taehyungs back, comforting himself.

"Whatever..." Taehyung tensed a little bit when Jungkook hugged him from behind, but instantly felt his muscles relaxing under the youngers touch. It felt good to be hugged by him. "Are you okay? You're not feeling anything weird are you?" Taehyung suddenly worried.

"I'm perfectly healthy! There's no need to worry." Jungkook smiled and tightened the hug unconsciously. "Ah! Sorry..." He immediately let go because Taehyung had tensed up again.

"No, no, it's fine Jungkook." Taehyung sighed and turned around to look at him. "I'm going to go talk to the other, try to get some sleep, okay?" Taehyung informed and stood up.

"C- can you come back...?" Jungkook suddenly requested, fidgeting his fingers, blushing even. "I mean... you don't need to if you don't want to! But I just w-"

"Sure, I'll come back." And that was where Taehyung had smiled at Jungkook for the first time ever. It made him very happy, but this weird feeling was suddenly disturbing his thoughts. "Goodnight Kookie." Taehyung smirked and left the flushtered Jungkook inside the room, who was just about to say something back.

"Goodnight Tae... he mumbled to himself before falling asleep.
