How do you deal with a rotten tree that is causing harm to innocent people.Do you cut it down or pull it out from the roots.If you cut it it will grow out again but if you remove the roots then there will be no chance of it growing again.
That's what Taehyung did.For himself,for his people and his son.After that day of the mass exercusion the atmosphere in the palace was somber.
Jungkook was worried that Taehyung would be creating more enemies for himself by going ahead with the execution.The alpha king told him not to worry about a thing.He had the situation under control.
A royal wedding was just what they needed to set the mood right.Jisoo and Hoseok's wedding celebrations lasted for two days.Taehyung had healed up and Jungkook felt at peace.
Five years down the line Jeha was surrounded by cousins just like Jungkook had wanted.Jisoo had given birth to a set of twins a year after their marriage.They were blessed with a daughter who resembled her mother and a son who was his father's carbon copy.
Taehyung had become a great king.He was still ruthless to those who were a threat to his regime,his family and to his people.He guarded those things jealously.His relationship with his friends and inner circle was still stronger than ever.Sehun and Jogin eventually settled down and were now proud fathers.
Mrs Jeon and Mina had been moved to their own residence near the palace.They could visit the palace whenever they wanted.Taehyung wanted them to be comfortable in their own place.Those awkward mornings when Taehyung bumped into his mother in law coming out of Jungkook's room were long gone.
Jeha had grown up to look more and more like his father.He was blessed with both great looks as well as intelligence.He was his father's greatest pride and joy.Taehyung was a hundred percent attentive.The duo spent a lot of time together during the day and played along with Hoseok and Jisoo's children.The entire palace resonated with giggles and laughter of children.It was blissful
Yoongi had squashed his beef with Jungkook.They had put their differences aside and made peace.The consort started interacting with Jimin and Jin more over the years.
In spite of everything seemingly well Jungkook was not happy but he never showed it to anyone.He always put up a smile in front of his family and friends.He was scared.
After putting Jeha asleep in his room,Taehyung made his way to Jungkook's room.He found the omega dressed up in a white thin silk robes.He had let his hair lose just the way his husband wanted.He had also put on his favorite fragrance.
Jungkook had been waiting on his husband with tea.
"Can we talk?"
"This seems serious.Did I do something wrong?"the alpha remained standing.
"Taehyung ,please sit and have some tea"the omega insisted
"You are scaring me.You aren't leaving me are you?"the king asked
"I'm not leaving you but I'm afraid that you would leave me after listening to what I have to say"
"Tell me why would I do such a thing.I'm happy with you.Jungkook you are the best thing that has happened to me.I love you"
"But sometimes love isn't enough"Jungkook said lowly.His voice sounded very distant and it didn't sit well with his husband.
"What are you going on about"the older was confused and a bit angry.
"Please sit down your highness"
"Why are you being so formal with me.You know I hate that"Taehyung snapped
"Just take a seat"
Taehyung finally did as he was told.Jungkook poured a cup of tea for him.They sat there and sipped on the tea in silence.Taehyung wanted Jungkook to be the one to start talking.
"You know ....that five years ago you said you wanted another child.Jeha needs siblings right"
"Right?"
"Taehyung I haven't been drinking that herb for two years now and I haven't gotten pregnant.Not even once.We have constantly made love but nothing has changed"
"Jungkook breath,okay.Tell me what's going on"the alpha asked calmly
"Do you know what this means.I can't give you another child.The doctor has confirmed it,Taehyung.My body can't handle it.Having Jeha was a miracle itself.I won't be that lucky again"Jungkook ranted
Taehyung didnt need to take time to digest the news"It doesn't matter.Nothing changes.You didn't commit a crime"
"But you wanted another child and I can't give you that.I wanted to give you a daughter.I have always thought about it"Jungkook was almost in tears.He felt like he had let his husband down.
"It's not your fault"Taehyung pulled the omega onto his lap to comfort him.No his baby wasn't supposed to cry.Not at all.
"I think you should take a concubine.I promise I won't feel bad about it."Jungkook 's expression betrayed his words.
"I'm not going to do such a thing for as long as I live.Does my love mean so little to you.I can never let someone who isn't you get close to me only in the way you are allowed to"Taehyung said in composure.
"You aren't disappointed?"the smaller asked
"Why would I be?Who said Jeha isn't happy.His cousins are his siblings.Have you ever seen him treating them differently.They are all he thinks and talks about whenever we are together."
"He does?"
"Did he ever ask for a sibling?"the alpha king questioned
Jungkook shook his head"He never did"
"Don't beat yourself for something beyond our control.Let's just be happy with whatever we have"
"I love you"
"Do you think I would be so narrow minded enough to leave you over this.We already have a child so why should we ask for more"Taehyung pinched the omega's nose in a playful manner.
"You are so sweet"Jungkook smiled through the tears
"That I know"the king said with a smug.
"And I'm just the luckiest person on the planet.I don't know what I did to deserve you in this life time"Jungkook said
"I'm equally as lucky you know"Taehyung said
"You are lying.I'm bad.I have been nothing but an eyesore to you from the start.I have always caused and attracted trouble.I'm bad"Jungkook said
"And what else?"
Jungkook blushed because his husband was clearly teasing him.
"I don't think you are normal at all"
"Why?".
"Because you have put up with me for as long as you did"Jungkook said as if it was a chore.
"Honestly it was because of Jeha but things changed as time went by.Our son's existence brought us together"
"I love you Taehyung and I mean it from the bottom of my heart"
"And I love you more than you could ever imagine"
Jungkook held his husband jaw and kissed him.When he pulled away Taehyung started playing with his hair.
"Have I ever told you how beautiful you are"Taehyung asked suddenly
"You have told me for every single day of the last five years"Jungkook blushed
"And I'm going to keep telling you until you get old and weary"
"I'm flattered"Jungkook smiled genenuely
"Our crown prince wants to visit his grandma and aunt.Won't you to take him tomorrow"Taehyung said
"I would love to.I haven't visited my family in a while"Jungkook said
"I have started writing my last decree "
"Why would you do that now when you are so young and healthy.Why would you bring up such a topic when we are having a beautiful time together?"Jungkook asked,a frowned on his face.
"You never know.Life is unpredictable.My father didn't know he would die the day he did.I just want to put things in order before that time comes for me"
"You aren't going to war are you?"
"Of course I'm not.Where would I go leaving you behind.I don't think my life would be any fun without you"Taehyung said
"I don't want to lose you"Jungkook whispered
"You won't lose me.Not if I can help it"Taehyung smiled and intertwined their fingers.They both felt that they completed each other in every way.
The end.
