Eternal Love

CHAPTER 7: 15 years old

"We are going away for a week," Dawn stated.

They were currently in the dining room where the king and queen, the princes and Jungkook were eating.

"Why? Is there a problem? War?" Jungkook immediately questioned. He straightened his back and his wings fluttered slightly in agitation. The princes looked at their parents with wide-eyes in response to Jungkook's questions.

"No no," Hyuna chuckled as she carefully pet Yoongi's hair, making him grumble, "We would like to spend our wedding anniversary in private this year," She said with a wink. Dawn blushed while the boys made noises of disgust. Jungkook sagged slightly, his relief clear as day for Hyuna who smiled at him gently.

"Okay, I will make charms to keep you safe." Jungkook stood up and was about to leave but Hyuna put a hand up in stop motion.

"We already have charms that you made for us last week. However, we would like your assistance with something else."

"We want you to babysit the boys while we are gone," Dawn finished for her, cheekily winking at his sons who all brightened up at these words.

"There's nobody else who we trust to actually keep them safe," Hyuna murmured so only Jungkook could hear. The fairy nodded and smiled at the queen. I'll keep them safe.

Hyuna and Dawn had already prepared everything so after quickly saying goodbye to the boys and Jungkook, they left on their carriage with bright smiles on their faces. Reminds me of when they got married... Jungkook mused as he watched them look at each other with so much love and warmth.

"Jungkook! Jungkook!" Jimin yelled excitedly, quickly catching the fairy's attention. "Can we play hide and seek?"

"That's a game for little kids," Jin whined making Jimin and Taehyung pout and glare at him.

"I forgot that you had such a bad memory," Jimin said to Jin making the latter turn red.

"What did I forget?" He snarkily asked, to which Jimin smirked in response. The tension was building and just as Jungkook was about to stop their argument, Hoseok decided to help.

"Jungkook promised us that if we beat him at hide and seek that he would let us sleep in the woods!" It seemed as though Jin wasn't the only one who forgot as Namjoon and Yoongi gasped in realization.

"So? Can we play?" Taehyung asked. Jungkook giggled at the boys who were all attempting to do puppy eyes.

"Fine, but let's start now because you boys still have classes this afternoon," Jimin squealed in delight and quickly started running. "I'll count to 100!"

"1, 2, 3..." All the boys ran extremely quickly, their vampire abilities finally developing. Jungkook sighed in sadness at the thought of them growing up. The boys were now taller than him, with Jimin just being slightly taller. They were all starting to develop their abilities and it seemed that as every day passed, the boys got even more handsome. Girls and boys from every kingdom dreamed of being noticed by them but it seemed as though they still hadn't given up on their crush.

I wonder when it'll stop. Jungkook had believed that their crush on him would stop when they finally hit puberty but it isn't the case. The thought of hurting them killed him, but he just couldn't see himself reciprocating their feelings. In his mind, they were children.

"100! Ready or not, here I come!" Jungkook yelled, giggling since he already knew where all the boys were hidden. He decided not to tell the boys but he could actually feel all of their presence through his connection to nature.
