Chapter 57: It gets better

            "You would really do that? After all this time I thought you hated me..." Jungkook claimed as Taehyung shook his head.

            "Well, at first I didn't like you but... I started to realize that you were just like everyone else. Being told what to do even if you are King. BUT That will not change the fact that you used Park Jimin!" Taehyung responded.

                 "I know what I have done and I don't like that I used him... But I really did love him. I just couldn't tell him.."

                "Why?"

                 "Because I fear what everyone else would think of their own king... It's something every leader fears... Upsetting their followers." Jungkook stated as Taehyung understood that.

             "I know... It's tough but if you really love Park Jimin... If your love is true, you shouldn't push him away because you fear losing the love from your people. Be a man and accept Jimin... This alone has made him really lonely." Taehyung stated as he placed Jimin's Makeup Kit into the luggage.

               "I will treat him better this time... Thank you for doing this.. When will be the show?" Jungkook wondered as Taehyung began to think.

              "To prepare the performers, it takes up five days to train atleast ten of them... Practice makes perfect when it comes to this. In about a week will be fine. I hope that's not an issue?" Taehyung wondered as Jungkook nodded.

           "It's better than nothing!" Jungkook claimed as he shook hands with the Ringmaster happily. "I-I know Jimin says he doesn't want to hear from me... But please tell him I love him... I want him to know that everyday.."

            "No worries, Your Majesty. I promise." Taehyung claimed as he placed on his mask and dragged Jimin's luggage out of the room. Leaving Jungkook to hold the blanket close.

             "Soon.. I will see my Jimin soon and I will tell him I love him.... Deeply..." Jungkook said with a smile as he pressed the silk blanket against his face.

            As Taehyung went down the steps, he heard laughing coming from the halls where the worker's rooms were. A door was open as he grew curious to know what was this familiar, joyful glee he was hearing?

          It was no other than Hoseok, Sumi and Yoongi laughing in the room as they were making their daughter laugh. Taehyung saw such a happy family there and smiled watching them. It was such a kind sight and this warmed Taehyung's heart. Just watching his best friend find love hurted Taehyung but yet again... It made him smile seeing that Hoseok was very happy. Happy with someone who loved him. Taehyung knew he couldn't make Hoseok smile like that in a relationship ever... That's why he couldn't help but to feel envious.

              Suddenly, Sumi noticed the Ringmaster and waved at him with a giggle making the couple draw their attention towards Taehyung. Taehyung waved at all of them as Yoongi made a big smile and waved back along with Hoseok. Taehyung liked that Yoongi wasn't the jealous type... Just by Yoongi's smile, left Taehyung with a nice thought about Hoseok's new boyfriend. Yoongi was absolutely perfect for Hoseok and this left the Ringmaster to accept them together now. He could never hate on such a cute family..

               Meanwhile, Seokjin was quickly stashing the books into the bookshelves... He was in such a hurry to see Namjoon because the King allowed Seokjin to finally see Namjoon after all this time. Waiting to see him for a long time felt like eternity and made Seokjin feel like he can tell Namjoon many things once they unite.

            Seokjin was quick to run out of the library and down the steps as he didn't care about taking a deep breath. He wanted to see Namjoon already.

           Namjoon of course was at the gates standing and doing his job until.. He heard fast footsteps from behind him. Once Namjoon turned around, Jin jumped into his arms. "J-Jin?! You're not supposed to be here... Adviser Yang migh-"

            "I don't care! The King allowed me to be here and that Adviser can try to pry you away from my hands! Doubt he'll succeed." Jin said as Namjoon started to tear up with tears of joy. He missed Seokjin and hugged him tightly. "I was miserable..."

           "I was too... I missed my Seokjin making me laugh." Namjoon added as he gave Jin a kiss on his lips. "I love you.."

           "Hi!" interrupted a voice from the side making Namjoon and Jin glance at the person who said that. It was Taehyung, he was waiting for the gates to open as Namjoon was still clueless. "You seem happy now." Taehyung added with a nice smile.

            "Yes I am now. Um... How are you?" Namjoon asked as Seokjin was still hugging Namjoon.

            "I'm god."

            "What?" Namjoon asked almost laughing. "You're god?"

           "Yes, I'm good." Taehyung claimed not aware of his mispronunciation.

           "Oh for goodness sakes, Open the gates for him!" Seokjin claimed shoving the guard making Namjoon realize that's what Taehyung was waiting for. The Ringmaster was so silent, Namjoon didn't even realize he was waiting for the gates to open.

         As soon as Taehyung left, Namjoon laughed with Seokjin.. Finally finding the light together after all this time in darkness and loneliness.

         That night, Taehyung walked into Jimin's room to drop off his luggage. Jimin quickly delved through the luggage, hoping to find the silk blanket.. But he couldn't find it... He thought maybe Jungkook decided to take it back now.

           "What are you looking for, Jimin?" Taehyung asked as Jimin shook his head.

            "Nothing... Nothing that matters now..." Jimin whispered and looked at his luggage silently.

            "Well... Goodnight, oh! I almost forgot. The King told me to tell you that, He loves you.."

            "I thought I told him to never speak of me..." Jimin played an angry attitude but deep down he was close to crying... He was glad Jungkook hasn't moved on because deep down, Jimin knew he couldn't move on either. Not like he wanted to anyways.
