Reunion and Unspoken Tensions

Days turned into weeks, and the castle brimmed with activity as Jungkook's cousin, Rose, and their parents returned from their visit to the temple. The air buzzed with excitement and anticipation, not just for their return, but for the changes that had unfolded in their absence.

In the grand hall, Jungkook stood alongside Jimin, awaiting the reunion with his family. V, always perceptive, noticed a mix of emotions on Rose's face as she caught sight of the new bride.

As the family approached, there was a warmth in the air that transcended the usual joy of a reunion. Rose's parents, beaming with affection, embraced Jungkook and exchanged pleasantries.

Rose, however, stood still, her gaze fixed on Jimin. A flicker of surprise and perhaps something more flashed in her eyes. Jungkook, sensing her reaction, introduced Jimin with pride, "Rose, this is Jimin, my wife. "

Rose's parents, unaware of the unspoken tension, welcomed Jimin with open arms. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Jimin. You're a wonderful addition to our family," Rose's mother expressed warmly.

Jimin, with his characteristic charm, reciprocated, "Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm honored to be a part of your family."

As the greetings continued, V subtly observed the dynamics unfolding. Rose's eyes, torn between politeness and an undercurrent of conflicting emotions, couldn't help but linger on Jimin. Meanwhile, the parents engaged in animated conversations, unaware of the unspoken tensions.

In the midst of the pleasantries, Rose's father, Mr. Lee, spoke fondly, "Jungkook, we've heard so much about the positive changes you've brought to the kingdom. It's evident that your leadership, along with V and namjoons contributions, has truly transformed this place."

Jungkook, grateful for the acknowledgment, nodded. "Thank you, Uncle. It's been a collective effort, and I'm fortunate to have such dedicated friends by my side."

V, sensing the need for a change of atmosphere, suggested, "Why don't we all gather for a meal? The chefs have prepared a feast in celebration of your return."

The group moved towards the banquet hall, and as they settled around the table, V strategically positioned himself between Rose and Jimin. The air buzzed with polite conversation, but underlying tensions remained.

During the meal, Rose's mother couldn't help but compliment Jimin on his grace and poise. "Jimin, dear, you truly bring a special energy to this place. It's refreshing."

Jimin, ever diplomatic, replied, "Thank you, Mrs. Lee. I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the harmony of the castle."

While the adults engaged in lively discussions, Rose and Jungkook exchanged few words in hushed tones. "Jungkook, you never mentioned anything about getting married," Rose whispered, her eyes betraying a mix of confusion and hurt.

Jungkook, choosing his words carefully, explained, "It happened unexpectedly, Rose. Jimin and I found a connection, and our feelings for each other grew. And that the discussion taken by my grandparents I can't object it also I don't remember telling you that i am never going to get married."

Rose, struggling to mask her feelings, nodded. "I just wish you had told me."

As the meal progressed, a mysterious figure observed the gathering from the shadows. A pair of eyes, hidden behind a veil of secrecy, focused on Rose. Unbeknownst to the castle residents, a new element had entered their lives, one that would soon cast a shadow over the harmony they had worked so hard to achieve.
