His Royal Guard - Taekook Love Story

15 - Don't Talk About Things You Don't Know.

After being in that cell for 2 days, Jungkook was released by prince Kai. Jungkook didn't open his mouth at all in that cell, he clearly knows he was framed for a reason and didn't want to make more trouble for prince Taehyung.

Jungkook felt a sadness in his heart at the fact that prince Taehyung didn't do anything to get him out of there. Even he didn't noticed it before, but it seemed like Jungkook has somewhat began to rely on the arrogant prince.

It was evening when he was escorted to the chambers the royal guards were staying and Hoseok welcomed him with a hug.

"Kook.. you ok?" Hoseok asked, looking all over Jungkook to assess his status.

Jungkook gave a nod. Physically, he was exhausted. He hasn't slept at all for the past 2 nights and it's starting to take a toll on his body. He's also wearing the same clothes that are now stinking due to the litter in that cell so he's in dire need of a bath.

"Yes, hyung. Nothing that a bath and a sleep can't cure." Jungkook replied in a tired voice.

"Ok. Go and have a bath first."
  
Hoseok picked up his phone to inform about Jungkook's condition to the crown prince.

Taehyung was nervous. Prince Kai said the punishment is for two nights so Taehyung actually expected Jungkook to be released in the morning. But that bastard of a prince didn't do it till evening and Taehyung was sure it was another attempt to rile him up.

His mind wondered about all the things that could have happened to Jungkook in that cell and it made his heart ache. Ofcourse Taehyung had Hoseok look in to everything and see to it that Jungkook didn't suffer from any of that. But the thought still frightened him.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the phone and Taehyung immediately answered it.

"Hoseok, is he back?"

"Yes, your highness. Jungkook came back just now."

"How is he?"

"He seemed ok, your highness. Dirty and sleep deprived but otherwise not harmed. He just went to take a bath."

"Ok, I'll check on him later."

Taehyung keep the phone and felt his heart at peace for the first time in two days. He knows that it's not gonna look good if he went to the guard's quarters now but he couldn't help it. He just had to see from his eyes that the young guard was ok.

Jungkook felt much better after the bath and in fresh clothes. Physically at least. Hoseok was waiting for him and another guard brought a plate of  food for Jungkook. There were few other guards that was looking at the scene with interest too.

"I'm not hungry, hyung. Just sleepy and tired."

"Ok, I won't take much of your time. We know what happened. Just briefly explain why you did something so stupid, Kook." Hoseok said in a disappointed tone.

Jungkook gave a sigh but explained what happened. He knows he had been very stupid.

"Ok, go and get a sleep. I'll have to inform this to the prince." Hoseok said dismissively as he got up from his seat.

"Well, it's not like he would care." Jungkook replied with a scoff.

"What do you mean Kook? Do you have any idea how worried and troubled the prince was?" Hoseok said annoyingly.

"He may have been troubled but definitely not worried. I mean why would he be? I'm nothing to him. He must be hating me. Always being disrespectful and always causing trouble."

Hoseok decided to let it go as the younger is clearly not in a good condition.

"Just go sleep Kook, we'll take later." Hoseok tried to leave but Jungkook spoke up again

"The prince didn't try to do anything to help me. He even prompted prince Kai for my punishment. But what more can you expect from a bully like him? Once a bully, always a bully, right? I do know this is totally my fault and I deserve everything that happened. But it's just that I hoped he would have cared a little about his guards. I mean, we are human too. " Jungkook seemed to be in a trans and spoke in to the distance.

"You are very wrong Kook. Don't talk about things you don't understand."

Hoseok was staring to get angry now but Jungkook didn't seemed to be aware of it.

"Are we that easily disposable!?"

"ENOUGH!!!"

Both Jungkook and Hoseok looked towards the door at that thunderous sound and saw the crown prince standing there.

Neither Jungkook nor Hoseok has ever seen the prince this angry. He looked down right scary. Jungkook subconsciously took a step back as the prince slowly walked towards him.

Jungkook kept walking back till his back hit the wall. Taehyung stopped few feet away from him. his gaze was so intimidating and intense and for the first time, Jungkook was afraid.

"Just because I let you speak doesn't mean you can say whatever the fuck you want, Jungkook. Learn to control your damn mouth before you get yourself in to a serious trouble. Not everyone is as lenient as me."

Jungkook flinch at the rage of the prince, shrinking in to the wall.

"How stupid are you?? Really??!! How come you don't have the tiniest idea about how diplomatic world works?
How much of a fucking idiot do you have to be to walk in to a such trap?Do you have any idea what mess you put us in?"

Hoseok shifted uncomfortably. The prince seemed to be out of his mind with rage and anger.

"That damn trap was not for you, it was for me!! Prince Kai wanted to get me in to a dispute so that he can cause trouble with the treaty. Imagine us fighting, over your stupidity, and the entire country will have to pay the price. And when I didn't, I was perceived as a fucking coward, that doesn't even have the guts to stand up for his own guards. "

"And I let that all happen, because if that fucking prince even got the slightest inkling that you are someone of importance to me, that you are something more than a spec of dust on my shoes, you would have been in so much trouble. He might have asked to execute you even."

"I let that dickhead paint me as an arrogant asshole and a coward, infront of all those people just so that you will not be harmed. I let myself be humiliated to keep you safe. And this is the response that I get!!"

Jungkook was listening to all this with open mouth. He has not noticed or realised any of this.

"I may decide to deal with your personal opinion about me in a way I like but I will not let you talk bullshit about the way I regard the royal guard. I have a great respect for the guards. How dare you say that I think you all are disposable??!!"

Taehyung seemed to slow down with his yelling and his voice turned in to that quite, intimidating tone that scares the hell out of Jungkook. Even Hoseok looked afraid now.

"Being a good fighter is not the only thing needed to be a royal guard Jungkook. In my opinion, you lack many other qualities. You are not fit to be part of the royal guard. When we get back home tomorrow, I'll get the king to sign you official release letter."

Taehyung looked at the frightened man infront of him for few more seconds before turning to leave the room. But he stopped after taking few steps and looked at Jungkook.

"And one more thing. You know that bastard at the university that you Oh so valiantly tried to protect?? He video taped his girlfriend being intimate with him and threatened her with it to make her sleep with his friends. You know, a group sex thing. Hope you still feel happy about yourself for coming to the rescue of such a vermin."

With that, prince Taehyung stormed out of the room, stopping Hoseok with a flick of his hand, when he tried to follow him.

Everyone looked at Jungkook with shock and non of them had any sympathy for the younger. This time, Jungkook screwed up really bad.
