Your Eyes Tell

YOONGI

It's been about two days since me and the stranger met and I already like him. Not in that way...but he is just really cool to be around. I wonder though, if I spend more time with him than Hobi, will I be betraying Hobi? I don't really know how multiple friends work, as Hoseok has been my one and only friend for my whole life. Not by choice of course. It just happened to be that way. I know Hoseok. Like the back of my hand really. So I know how he feels about me. I guess that is also why I never bothered to have other friends, because at the end of the day, Hobi was all I needed.

Until now.

July 4th

Jimin slows down his pace as we walk through the woods. "Are you ever going to show me where you sleep?" I notice how quickly his face brightens up and can't help but giggle. He really was something else. "N-not like that! I mean. Nevermind."

"I don't think I can. Even if I wanted to." I look up to the clouds. Should I really tell this stranger about my life when I just met him? I want to so bad. I trust him for some strange reason, I do. "No one in this kingdom knows who I am."

Jimin seems to be surprised at my statement. Which is understandable knowing he must be a forgiener. "What do you mean by that exactly?"

"My world is different from yours and everyone else's. I'm not allowed to be a normal person. I have to hide, if that's the right way to put it." I inhale deeply, my anxiety taking the best of me. I start to get light headed as my surroundings start to blurr around me, as I trip over my feet. When I thought I hit the ground, I feel warm arms pull me into a back hug, keeping me from making impact. Oddly, I feel so safe like I've never had in this embrace and sunggle into Jimins arms. I would feel uncomfortable if some random guy snuggled into my arms. Jimin's arms tense around my torso. Or so I thought. Instead he wraps his arms tighter around my waist. Without thinking I let out quiet sobs that turn into choking ones. I wished to stay here forever. It felt like a safe place I could let my hard wall down and be the real me.

I've never had someone to cry on. Nor whilist someone holding me. I've never even let Hoseok see me cry, but here I am, shamelessly crying in the arms of someone I just met.

Reader's POV

Jimin sits on the path with the crying prince in his arms. He didn't know what to do. Was it his fault the small boy was crying? Should he just leave and tell the king that there is no use of attacking such a feeble kingdom. And what was he feeling right now? He didn't put answers to those questions, but he did tighten his grip on the crying Yoongi. Jimin chooses to grab Yoongi's hand and hold it tightly in his. His mother used to do this when Jimin was in a bad mood, which always cheered him up.

Jimin hears the boy's sobs quiet into sniffles then silence. He leans over and sees the angel in his arms fast asleep still clutching his hand. His heart becomes soft. Uncomfortably soft. In fact his heart hurts. The more he sits here, the more he thinks about the progress he hasn't made. This turns his mood from awe to anger. If theres one thing Park Jimin hates, it's failing a task. Suddenly looking at this sleeping prince doesn't make his heart hurt, it just makes him angry. How could he be so distracted? Blinded by the enemy? He doesn't wants to leave the prince but he does have a job to do.

Park Jimin knows no defeat. He would drop off the prince to his castle, yes risking his chances of being discovered but he knew how to cover it up. He would carry out his plan in 3....2.....1...

"Yoongi. Wake up Yoongi."

Well, he lied to himself. He always lies to himself. The prince opens his eyes and stares into Jimin's as if he heard every thought Jimin was thinking.

"You are an elf." Yoongi breaks away from Jimin in a red eyed mess.

"What are you talking about? You're just tired." Jimin feels panick. Yes. That is exactly what he's feeling now. But he's not thinking about the mission he possibly just failed, but the thought of not being able to see the prince anymore. Kind of broke his heart.

"Your eyes. Your scent. Everything. Even the way you act." The prince shoots darts into Jimin's eyes. Jimin can't help but feel helpless to his hyung and chooses not to speak. "What are you doing here? I should get you killed this instan-"

Yoongi's words are cut off as he is pulled into a hug. "So what? So what I'm an elf? What does it matter?"

"I am told not to trust elves no matter how nice they are." The prince tries to fight and punch Jimin off but his attempts fails him and his heart betrays him. He likes this man no matter how soon they met. He really likes him. He makes him feel safe and makes him want to express what he feels inside.

"You can trust me. Please trust me Yoongi..."

"You should leave here. I don't want you to be seen. People will start to notice that you're different."

"I probably should leave right?" Jimin sighs and closes his eyes for a second. "I like it here though. Being with you makes me happy." Yoongi can't help but wonder what an elf is doing in their enemies kingdom. Maybe he just wants to get away from something? Maybe we aren't so different.

Yoongi was never taught the history of his kingdom. His father never thought he was ready. Well, his father was selfish and always thought of himself. Sometimes Yoongi thinks his mother's sickness isn't all bad. Maybe his father will learn to care about something other than power for once in his life. "Why do elves and wolves hate each other so much? What did we do to each other..."

Jimin is caught off gaurd by this question. Isn't a king supposed to know everything about his kingdom that he is soon to rule over? Even Jimin knew about the history of where he lived and he is not royalty. Just a dirty spy.

"Wolves and Elves do things differently. We don't believe in the same things. I'd like to think that maybe wolves and elves think the same way, but were taught to hate the other from an early age. I think if the kings and queens weren't so focused on power all the time and opened their eyes for once, they would see that we arent so different from them." Jimin approaches the apartment complex that he, Taehyung, and Jungkook are staying at.

"Where are we going Jimin?"

"My home."

They get up to the 3rd floor and Jimin opens the door to let Yoongi in and both of their eyes go wide.

Taehyung and Jungkook are standing right at the door way dressed in fancy black suits.

"Jimin who are they?"
