The Lost Prince -kth.jjk (Royal AU) ON HOLD

Chapter 5

Namjoon ran towards the young boy

"Hey stop, stop right there!" he quickly caught up to the boy who had ran into the wall

"How did you get in here-" Namjoon spoke to the boy but quietly trailed off as he looked at the boy, the young boy shakely shrugged his shoulders and bit his lip, Jungkook quickly caught up and stood next to Namjoon trying to catch his breath

"Hey, pst, Jungkook, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Jungkook still bent over, hands on knees trying to catch his breath looked up at Namjoon who pointed towards the scared male, Jungkook's eyes followed his finger and he straightened up in surprise letting out a soft gasp

"Yeah...." he could only stand there, mouth open

"A-Are you Namjoon?" the boy spoke up, his voice deep but shaky, Namjoon turned to look at Jungkook, raising his hand to close his friends mouth and rolled his eyes at the younger

"Well, that depends, who's asking?" Namjoon looked at the boy and gave a sly smirk

"M-My names Taekyun, I need identification and some money...I was told to come see you.." the boy spoke softly, Namjoon looked at him up and down and was joined by Jungkook, the boy caught their gazes and started to play with his fingers

"Excuse.... excuse me, can you please stop looking at me like that" he shyly spoke, Jungkook coughed and rubbed his neck

"I'm sorry Taekyun, it's just you look an awful lot like-" Namjoons word were cut off by Jungkook who slapped his arm and raised his eyebrows at him

"Uh, nevermind, now you said something about identification?" he continued on

"Y-yeah, I tried to buy a train ticket before, but, I couldn't without identification and money..." he sighed as he spoke

"Train tickets?" Jungkook cocked his eyebrow as he questioned him "Why do you need train tickets?"

"I want to go to Seoul-" Taekyun was stopped as Namjoon started coughing, he looked towards him worried, Jungkook merely slapped the man's arm again and shushed him

"Seoul huh? let me ask you something, Taekyun, was it? there a last name there?" Jungkook leaned in forward raising his eyebrows as he spoke

"Um, actually, no, I'm an orphan-" Jungkook suddenly shouted

"An orphan!?" he snickered "I must be the luckiest man alive" he spoke under his breath

"I'm sorry?" Taekyun questioned with furrowed eyebrows

"Nothing nothing, So Seoul huh? well, it just so happens, that, that's where were headed, and, we happen to have 3 tickets" Jungkook watched as Taekyuns eyes lit up

"But, however, the third ticket is for little Prince Taehyung there" the boys expression turned to one of confusion upon hearing the mans words

"You know" Namjoon started "You do look a lot like him" he waltzed towards Taekyun and grabbed his arm, Jungkook moving over and grabbing his other arm, the two men started to lead the boy away

"Wait, huh? are you saying, you think I'm him?" Taekyun let out a sarcastic laugh "You two are crazy, let me go" he tried to move but the two tightened their grip

"All we're saying his, we've seen thousands of boys, all around Daegu and not one of them has even slightly resembled him like you do" Jungkook carried on where his friend left off, Taekyun rolled his eyes and scoffed

"You two are officially nuts, this is nuts, I really don't need to go to Seoul that badly" he carried on annoyance in his tone

"Why is this such a crazy theory? your what roughly the same age as he would by now right? your an orphan, he's lost right? what do you remember of your family?" Taekyuns breath hitched as Namjoon spoke

"I uh- I actually don't have any memories from before I was nine..." the two stopped walking and turned to him

"Nine? literally the same age as he went missing, this isn't coincidence right?" Jungkook spoke up with a smirk

"Have you never thought about the possibility?" Namjoon placed his hand on the boys shoulder as the looked at another family portrait

"What? that I could be royalty?" Taekyun spoke putting emphasis on the I, the two other nodded at him, he stood there and paused thinking about it

"Well. I don't know, it's kind of hard to imagine yourself as a prince when you're sleeping in a run down room filled with 10 other kids and wearing hand me down clothes...but sure, I guess every lonely orphan wishes they could have a family, I'm not saying a royal family, but, just a family" his eyes were fixated on the painting as Namjoon and Jungkook exchanged glances

"Well who knows, somewhere out there you have a family, possibly, a royal one" Jungkook's eyebrow quirked as he said the word royal, Namjoon walked towards him placing his hand on Jungkook's shoulder

"Look sorry we'd really love to help you but as we already said, the third ticket is for the Prince" they walked away and left Taekyun standing there looking at the painting

"Why are we walking away? he's perfect for our plan?" Jungkook angry whispered

"Exactly, but he's unsure, all he wants to do is go to Seoul, he just needs to decide how badly he wants to get there, he'll come running any second now" Namjoon smirked at Jungkook has his mouth fell into an small o

"Just give it a few minutes, walk slower" the pair slowed their pace, they suddenly heard footsteps running towards them

"Namjoon, wait!" they heard a voice called out

"Told you" he shot a glance at Jungkook who just smirked back, they watched as the boy caught his breath

"Hypothetically speaking, if I'm an orphan, and don't remember my childhood, I could- I could be anybody right?" he panted out

"mhm mhm go on" Namjoon twirled his hand inviting Taekyun the finish

"And well, if I'm not him, his family would surely know right? and then we'd know it was all just a mistake" he shyly looked towards them, the pair continued to nod

"mhm mhm, that sounds plausible" Jungkook added, he ran towards Taekyun and threw his arm around his shoulder

"But, if you are the prince, then you finally know who you are and that you have a family" he smiled at the boy

"You know, he's right, either way, it gets you to Seoul" Namjoon titled his head back and forth as if he was thinking

"R-Right..." Taekyun slowly nodded while looking Namjoon in the eyes

"So then do we have a deal?" Jungkook extended his hand towards the boy, Taekyun looked down at his hand and back up to him, their eyes catching, he quickly looked away and gently shook the man's hand while blushing a little, he pulled away and knelt down as Yeontan ran up and jumped into his arms, he pulled the dog closer to his body and buried his face his fur before looking at his little face

"Well Tannie, it looks like were going to Seoul after all" he smiled at his friend as the dog licked his nose and wagged his tail indicating he too was happy at this news
