Serendipity

Whispers

The next day in the palace arrived rather dramatically when Jimin arrived in the palace after hearing about the prince and the scientist's wedding.

"You sneaky little rats! How dare you not inform me about a whole wedding. Have you forgotten that you both have a hyung? How could you just leave me out of it?"

"That's a very bad example of acting, mimi. You could do better. If you want, I will ask my brother in law to train you. He is quite good at it.

"The audacity of this boy!" Jimin winced.

"But he's right. It was really, really bad acting…." Taehyung supported his fiance, surprising the hell out of Jimin.

"Since when you both are on the same team. If I remember correctly, you both hated each other's guts." He asked.

"Oh, we still do, but we are soon to be husbands. So we have to agree with each other sometimes." Jungkook shrugged him off.

"Especially when the other is speaking the truth!" Added Taehyung.

Jimin exasperated, "I'm out of here. You both are mean, but you are meaner together."

"Stop being dramatic and help me. I don't know anything about a royal wedding, so you are my only help. The person I am marrying has no clue about it either. Apparently, because he never attended one nor remembered reading about one. But he says you attended his parents' wedding."

"Are you kidding me? I was just six months old at that time! Do you think I would remember any of that?"

"Actually, it is not really impossible, you know? You see, our brains are made to record everything that we see or hear right from the moment we are born, or even before that. We just tend to bury all those in the deeper parts of our consciousness so that we don't get overwhelmed. When you try putting your brain into stimulating conditions, you might be able to remember what you saw or heard back then. I might be able to create such situations if you are willing to try."

Jimin gaped in disbelief and yelled at Jungkook, "Is he for real? No, Taehyung, I don't think I would like to put my brain into any such conditions as they might make me just as crazy as you are."

"Did your best friend just call me crazy for merely stating the truth?" Taehyung cornered his lover.

And Jungkook caved in, "Oh god! Not this again. Hyung, can you please help him? He has been eating my head since forever. Just tell him. Just tell him whatever you know."

"And why would I do that? He hasn't even said 'please'!" Jimin crossed his arms, resting them on his chest.

"Tae, can you please say please?" Jungkook pleaded.

"Why would I say please?"

"Because you need his help. Ugh… Tae, baby, I really need to go now. I have a financial meeting where I need to shadow grandma. If you want him to help you, please say please. Okay?" The prince didn't wait for the answer but just pulled the scientist in a quick but tantalising kiss. He hoped the kiss would be enough to get his brattiness down a little, and as expected, this action left Taehyung melting and Jimin, shocked.

"Come back soon, okay? I get bored on my own."

"Yes. Now, don't pout." The prince said, pecking the scientist's nose once, and then he walked out, like nothing happened.

"So Jimin, please help me." Taehyung made a fake plea.

"Forget about 'please'. First, tell me what that was?"

"What was what?"

"You people were acting all lovey-dovie!"

"We weren't acting."
