"Thank you so much!" The boys bowed and watched the elderly man drive off down the road, the stood there in a single line, Namjoon grabbed his bag, grunting at the weight
"Let's find somewhere to sleep for the night then we can see about a vehicle tomorrow" the two younger boys nodded and followed Namjoon

"Wait here I'll see what rooms are available" they watched on as he walked through the door
"This place looks so shabby" Jungkook scoffed and pulled a face
"I mean... I lived in an orphanage for my whole life so this place doesn't seem so bad..."
"....There's a rat at your foot" A shriek was heard from Taekyun as he ran and hid behind Jungkook 
"I take it back, I take it back, let's just sleep out on the road" a smirk spread across Jungkook's face as he tensed the bicep that Taekyun was now holding onto, the boys hands immediately pulling away as if the surface he was holding had burnt him
"Like my muscles huh little prince?" He turned and saw the brunette pulling a disgusted face
"Ugh, as if! They're... they're weird and, and too hard...I'm starting to think you're a rock, you sure act as dumb as one!" Taekyun pouted, crossing his arms and pulling away, Jungkook's eyes went wide
"What the- you little shi-" 
"Guys! They have two rooms" Namjoon walked forward and dangled two keys in front of Jungkook's face before handing him one, a sly look on his face
"Now.. you know I need my space sooo, I'm not sharing, Goodnight!" He rushed off towards his room leaving a stunned Jungkook behind
"Namjoon! you son of a bitch- get back here!" He let out a disapproving grunt and told Taekyun to follow him, they reached the small room and walked in setting their things down before standing stiff, the room lost in silence 
"There's..... only one bed...." Taekyun gulped and walked off towards the bathroom, Jungkook bent over to grab things out of his bed before hearing another shriek come from Taekyun and turned around to see him hurriedly exit the room and pulled the door closed, breathing deeply
"What is it?" the raven haired boy looked at him with a puzzled expression
"I just.. uh.. I really hope that's red paint in there" Jungkook looked at him with a blank look before shoving his clothes back into his bag
"There goes my shower then"

An hour passed before Jungkook's eyes began to droop, he stretched and groaned placing the file he had been reading down and standing 
"Taekyun, I'm going to bed, mind turning the light off?" no response came from the boy who was immersed in his own reading
"Taekyun?"
"Oh, sorry, what? oh, light, yeah sure, good night" He reached up behind him and turned the rooms light off, his body being covered in the warm glow of the table lamp next to him as he returned to his reading, Jungkook made himself comfy on the bed and looked over at the small boy, his legs brought up against his chest, deeply concentrating on the papers in his hands
"What are you reading now?" Taekyun looked up and saw Jungkook leaning on his side looking at him
"I'm reading the Kim history, did you know they ruled for roughly 800 years? and in that time they only ever participated in one war? the late King Ji-Hwan was a visionary, he brought in so many new policies that bettered society and brought wealth to the country.... how could anyone hate  him...." Taekyun's voice had become soft towards the end, Jungkook sighed and ran his hand through his hair
"Everyone has enemies Taekyun, it doesn't matter how nice you are, I'm sure people hated him just for being in a position of power" the boy let out a small "oh" as his head dropped down again
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
"uh.. yeah.. I will, don't worry" Jungkook shrugged his shoulders and rolled over, turning the bed side lamp off and falling asleep

It was 2am when he woke up, he sat up, heavy eyelids continuing to droop down, he blankly looked around the room noticing the space beside him was empty and all the lights in the room were out, his brows furrowed as he got out of bed and headed to the bathroom, Taekyun wasn't kidding, even Jungkook hoped the odd looking stains decorating the shower and tub we're weird paint but something in his stomach told him otherwise, he shuddered and left closing the door, walking back to the bed he rubbed his eyes and stood there wondering where a certain brunette had gone, eyes going wide as he realised Taekyun was no where to be found, a feeling of panic set in as he began to walk around the room but stopped when he noticed the feet that peeked out from the other side of the bed, he walked over and saw Taekyun curled up, fast asleep on the floor and shivering, letting out a sigh of annoyance Jungkook bent down and picked the boy up, his body involuntarily leaning into the male's chest looking for any kind of warmth
"You idiot, you'll catch a cold sleeping like that" Jungkook muttered under his breath and placed the light body onto the bed, covering him with the blanket and walking to his own side and sliding in, he lay there staring at Taekyun, watching the way his eyes gently moved under his eyelids, his long eyelashes fluttering every now and then as he stirred and got comfortable, he took the boy's features in, a soft smile unknowingly dancing onto his face
"You know, I could believe you were a prince" he sighed and closed his eyes, pulling the other into his embrace, feeling comforted by the small breaths of Taekyun that fell against his chest 
"Goodnight, my little prince"
