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

Chapter 16

Jin's sight lingered on the brunette boy now lying on his bed
"What the hell did you guys do to him?" Jungkook's gaze was dark as he glared at Jin
"We didn't do anything, why do you always make us out to be criminals" the tension between the two was filling the room making the atmosphere feel heavy, Namjoon could only stand idly by knowing getting in between the two wouldn't end well 
"Because you literally are criminals, I don't care that you guy's only make counterfeit papers, it's still illegal and I hate how you get Namjoon involved in the mess-"
"What the hell would you know Jin, Namjoon isn't innocent in this either, where do you think half the idea's come from!" a sigh left Jin's lips as he pushed his glasses up 
"Yes but the difference is he know's when to stop before someone get's hurt, unlike you, and it seems your rash decision making  finally caught up to you"
"Fuck you Jin, you have no idea!" Jungkook stormed passed Jin harshly hitting his shoulder and slamming the door as he did, silence fell over the room as Jin and Namjoon were left standing there with a still unconscious Taekyun
"Jin, can we talk? Somewhere else..." Namjoon motioned his head toward the bed before walking toward the door, pulling the elder along with while holding his hand
"Yeah of course, do you still like your coffee dark?" a sly smile appeared on his lips and he leaned in and pecked Namjoon on the cheek, a small chuckle escaped from him as he noticed the tip of the others ears turn red, small actions like this always left Namjoon flustered and never failed to make Jin love him more 

"So, what's with the kid? He seems kind of familiar?" Namjoon's head shot up, he looked at Jin surprised as he was handed a cup 
"Really!?" Jin nodded and looked at Namjoon with a confused expression before taking a sip of his own drink
"Actually, he's the whole reason we're here, we think he may be the missing prince" a sad expression came on Jin's face as he carefully placed his cup down and dropped his shoulders, he reached over the table and held one of Namjoon's hands
"Listen, Joon... You know-"
"I know! I know! Yoongi doesn't want to meet anymore of them I get it, but Jin, you have to hear me out, I think he's the real deal! if maybe, Hoseok or, or even Jimin could just meet him!" Namjoon spoke fast, his grip on Jin's hand becoming tighter as he became more passionate about the topic
"Please, Jin... this kid, he has nothing, and well... we've given him a little bit of hope, that he may have a family out there somewhere, he's good... he's good Jin, I think he deserves a little hope" Namjoon soon calmed down, his eyes showing sincerity as he spoke
"Three reasons, give me three good reasons, and I'll try contact one of them!" Namjoon's face lit up as he jumped from his chair and punched the air a few times, he rushed forward over the table grabbing Jin's face with both his hands and placing a kiss to his forehead 
"You won't regret this!" he ran out of the kitchen slightly slipping as he rushed
"Be careful you idiot! what am I going to do with you" Jin shook his head and smiled, while rubbing his face and resting his chin on his hand

Jungkook made his way back into the house, hands in his pockets as he continued to pout from the argument earlier, without having any destination he mind he found himself back upstairs and nearing the room Taekyun would be resting in, he couldn't shake the feeling that if he was near the other right now it would make him feel better 
"Why does he always have to jump at me and think so badly, I'm not that bad, if anything I only listen to Namjoon, I'm just the stupid sidekick-" he opened the door and walked into the bedroom, unknowingly thinking out loud
"Who does?" Jungkook's head snapped up to see a now awake Taekyun sitting comfortably propped up against the bedhead, he rushed over and frantically began feeling him all over 
"You're awake! Are you okay? Are you hurt? How are you feeling?" Taekyun grabbed his hands and looked him in the eyes
"Jungkook! Calm down, I'm fine okay!" Taekyun look go of his hands, he watched as Jungkook sat down on the side of the bed and hold his hands in his face, he started to shake his head back and forth while laughing a little, suddenly stopping his face peeped out of his hands and he looked at Taekyun before running his hand through his hair and taking a deep breath in and out
"You scared the fuck out of us, you know that right" Taekyun couldn't help but blush a little and mumble out a small apology 
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to burden you..." he scratched at his wrist and looked toward the doorway
"It's fine as long as you're okay now, just please, don't do that again, I don't think Namjoon's heart could handle it, he's old you know" they both quietly laughed, quickly exchanging glances and looking away just as fast 
"Um, Jungkook, about what you said before- I don't think you're stupid... or just a sidekick, and- you're not a bad person, we may not always get along, but I can tell you're not a bad person" 
"...Thanks Tae, that, that really means a lot" Jungkook scratched at the back of his head and looked at his feet, both too embarrassed to look at one another 

It was decided now that Taekyun was feeling better they would go down and visit Jin
"So who is Jin anyway?" a loud groan come from Jungkook 
"He's Namjoon's partner, and I guess he works or has a close relation to the royal family" 
"As in like, the Kim's?" Jungkook gave him a simple hum and nod and walked oh ahead, Taekyun stopped in his tracks, a wave of anxiety washed over him, he started to feel sick, as a nervous habit he started to bunch at the fabric of his pants, his fists clenching tighter and tighter the more the knot in his stomach twisted
"Hey, you okay?" Taekyun bit at his lip and looked Jungkook in the eyes
"Jin, he'll know right, if I'm the prince or not?"
"mmm, it's hard to say, I'd heard he was working for them ever since he was a kid but I don't know if that means he ever actually met them" Jungkook placed his hand on the others shoulder giving it a gentle squeeze
"but hey, if you're not the prince, who really cares huh? You can... you can always stay with us, be our Aramis y'know" they began to walk again, Taekyun feeling slightly better about the situation
"And who are you meant to be then? Porthos?" a long drawn out sarcastic laugh came from the younger
"Yeah right, I'm totally Athos" Taekyun gave him a gentle nudge as he laughed, the two continued to argue back and forth as to who Jungkook really was as they came upon the kitchen
"Tae, I'm telling you-"
"Hey, hey Namjoon, Jungkook's totally Porthos right?" 
"Without a doubt! likes fashion? yup! likes money? tick! You young Jeon are Porthos" Namjoon slung his arm around Jungkook's neck and pinched his cheek
"What are you guys talking about?" Jin peacefully sat at the table, cheek in his hand and smiling wide
"The Three Musketeers, Jungkook proposed that if I don't find my family I can tag along with them!" Taekyun's smile was wide and his eyes held a glimmer of mischief 
"Oh Joonie! Who would I be?" Namjoon waltzed back over to Jin and started gently massaging his shoulders
"Well, if I'm Athos, of course that would make you D'Artagnan" Jin hummed in thought 
"Didn't Athos and D'Artagnan have more of a father and son bond?" Jin and Namjoon looked at each other
"Well, I wouldn't be Jin's father BUT-"
"I'm going to stop you right there" Jungkook kicked Namjoon making him slightly fall before he caught himself on Jin, he and Taekyun laughed as the others continued to play fight
"Taekyun, how do you know so much about The Three Musketeers?" Jin asked once again showing his signature warm smile 
"Les Trois Mousquetaires, it was something I grew up reading and being read" everyone stopped to look at him
"Oh, is that right? Namjoon told me you didn't remember your childhood" Taekyun tensed and swallowed 
"That's right! But it's more like, I can't remember the really important things, just small things, like the type of books I liked to read, or how I liked my bread toasted and served, really minor things like that, but who I read them with, or ate with, it's like there's just black spots...." Jin's expression became sorrowful 
"Taekyun, I'm terribly sorry to hear, it can not be easy to lose one person, let alone your whole family, I'm seen the anguish of losing a family member through my friends, it's not something I wish on anyone" Taekyun gave him a small smile and sat down in front of him, Jin reached over and grabbed his hands, holding tight and looking him in the eyes
"So Taekyun, I'm going to help however I can, we're going to do the very best to find your family, I promise you!
