...TAEHYUNG P.O.V....
Emperor Taehyung was asleep in his chambers when his servants came in and one drew back the curtains to let in some sunlight. While one softly called, "Please wake up Your Majesty." Another one of them had gone to take out the king's clothes and the last two prepared his bath. They dressed him in special ceremonial robes because today was his birthday and there was to be a parade in his honor just like there was every year.
Taehyung sighed got up and walked to the bathroom he didn't understand why he needed an extravagant celebration for him only when no one made any fuss over any other aristocrat or even royal's birthday. But then again he was the reigning monarch. He was dressed in his ceremonial robes which were red in colour and had a pattern of dragons made by gold thread. The crown was placed atop his head when someone walked in to his chambers.
"Good morning my lord," a woman spoke from behind who was none other than Taehyung's wife and the empress, Kim Jennie(yaa I am lame). " Good morning Jennie," Taehyung greeted back. See, Taehyung and Jennie didn't love each other but they didn't hate each other either. Once, even the sight of Jennie used to annoy Taehyung but he soon realised that she wasn't annoying but smart, friendly and pleasant. Although, they didn't love each other they had an easy friendship. Jennie helped Tae in running the empire and she was also his closest confidante and Tae was thankful to Jennie for her support and understanding.
"My Lord you must make haste the parade will be ready to leave soon, and happy birthday my lord," Jennie said smiling at the end. Tae smiled back at her and thanked her. They both walked into the courtyard and sat in their own palanquins. The parade started moving out of the imperial palace courtyard and into the streets of the capital. There were people and nobles on both sides of the road there to greet the king and queen, to celebrate and to pay their respect.
As the royal parade moved along the roads everyone bowed down in respect. As they moved along they came near the Jeon family hanok (ancient Korean house). Jeon Junoon, his wife Jeon Hwa-yee and their sons Jeon Namjoon and Jeon Jungkook stood there awaiting the parade's arrival. When they passed by the Jeon hanok Tae's eyes moved past the family and landed on the youngest Jeon that is, Jungkook. He was mesmerized by the omega's beauty, he couldn't believe his eyes as he continued to stare at the omega.
Taehyung lifted his hand signalling for the parade to stop. Jennie was astonished when Tae's palanquin was put down and he moved to hers and assisted her out. She arched her brow and whispered softly to Tae, "What happened Tae, why are we stopping here?''
''No particular reason I'm just curious,'' Tae replied. Jennie still looked confused but walked with him towards the family who immediately kneeled in respect.
''Jeon, you have not showed up in court in a while,'' Tae voiced. To which Junoon replied with a soft and respectful apology saying that it won't happen again. Taehyung then turned to look at Jungkook again becoming momentarily dazed by his beauty before he spoke,''Your sons?'' ''Yes, Your Majesty,'' Junoon replied. He continued to stare at Jungkook, dressed in a blue hanbok, and suddenly the boy started to blush. Then Tae gently lifted his chin and asked, ''Your name, love?" ''Jeon Jungkook, Your Majesty,'' he replied in his melodic and dreamy voice his blush deepening because of the pet name.
...JUNGKOOK P.O.V....
Jungkook stood in the balcony of his room overlooking the beautiful garden full of colourful blossoms. He breathed in he was really excited to see the royal parade pass. He was wearing his favourite blue hanbok.
Then suddenly he heard the rustle of clothing, he turned to see his alpha older brother, Namjoon. He smiled brightly, ''Joonie hyung!'' he exclaimed rushing to him. ''How are you feeling, little brother?'' Namjoon asked embracing his beautiful younger brother. ''Excited hyung, I'm really excited,'' Jungkook replied with his bunny smile, his wide doe eyes staring at up at him. His brother was so adorable that he couldn't help but smile back as he gently pinched his cheeks.
''Come on Jungkook the parade will be coming soon,'' Namjoon said softly. ''Yes hyung, let's go.'' Both brothers moved out of Jungkook's room only to find their parents waiting there for them. As soon as they came Hwa-yee, their mother spoke, ''Oh good there you are,'' she smiled at both her children. Then she turned to look at Jungkook she frowned slightly flicked dust off his hanbok, adjusted it slightly and stood back nodding in approval. ''Eomma...,'' Jungkook whined because of all the fussing.
''Come now kookie looking your best isn't a crime, okay?'' She chided him. ''What about hyung? Why don't you fuss over him too?'' Jungkook asked motioning towards Namjoon. His mother turned and arched a brow at his brother then turned back to Kook saying, "Your brother's hanbok is perfectly fine, look.'' She turned Kook towards Joon waving a hand in his general direction and sure enough Namjoon was dressed perfectly in his purple hanbok.
''Yeah, fine, whatever,'' Jungkook mumbled. Junoon let out a loud laugh at his family's antiques. ''Shall we go now,'' Junoon asked and they all nodded. The whole family then moved out of their courtyard and stood before their house awaiting the king's parade. Soon they could hear drums in the distance and two great palanquins came into view, all four Jeons bowed their heads in respect.
Then something entirely unexpected happened, they saw the king and queen get off their palanquins and head towards them and as expected they kneeled down in respect. The king came and started to speak with Junoon about him not showing up at court lately, Jungkook father quickly apologised and said it won't happen again. Then he turned towards Jungkook and spoke,''Your sons?'' His father replied in the affirmative. He nodded at this point Jungkook could practically feel the king's stare burning into him. Then suddenly he felt his chin being lifted and soon he was looking at the most handsome face he had ever seen. ''Your name, love?'' His Majesty questioned. ''Jeon Jungkook, Your Majesty,'' he spoke knowing full well that he was red as a tomato, but it wasn't his fault that the king had just called him love. Jungkook didn't know but Taehyung had already started craving the enchanting omega...

...TAEHYUNG P.O.V...
Tae entered the throne room and all the nobles gathered there stood up and bowed to greet their king. Taehyung nodded at them and took his seat at the throne. Soon Jennie also came, all present bowed to her too. The session in court then began, after at least a few hours the nobles were finally done with everything. Jennie left the throne room, talking with another master.
Taehyung then started looking around for Master Junoon and soon enough he spotted him. He walked over to him and spoke,''Jeon I wish to speak with you in private.'' Junoon dipped his head and followed Tae to his study. After seating himself Taehyung invited Junoon to have a seat.
''So, Jeon my wife Jennie is unable to produce an heir,'' he began. It's only a half lie, after all Jennie won't be able to produce kids without making love with me and honestly it would get really awkward if we tried. She has become my closest and only friend and one does not couple with one's friends, thought Taehyung. Then Tae continued, ''And then there is the fact that I have taken a liking to your son. Simply put, I wish to marry your son and have him as a concubine of mine so as to secure the line of succession.''
Junoon couldn't believe what he was hearing but collected himself enough to say,''Your Majesty please give me some time to ponder over this.'' ''Very well, you have until tomorrow, think nice and long, discuss it with your family if you wish to and come back to me tomorrow,'' spoke Taehyung and dismissed the official with that. Junoon walked back to his home uncertain how his son would take the information.
...JUNGKOOK P.O.V....
Jungkook was waiting in the courtyard to greet his father after he came from court. Soon enough his father arrived and met him in the courtyard, he embraced Jungkook and then headed inside looking for his wife. Kook didn't understand why his Appa acted so reserved, he felt upset that he had not waited long enough to talk with him and ask him about his day as he usually did.
Soon Jungkook heard voices coming from his father's study, he walked closer and heard his mother, ''Oh but what about Kookie's wish, what he wants.'' ''But the king doesn't care he wants to marry Kook and he won't rest until he is his,'' Junoon said sadly. ''My son will not be forced into an unwanted marriage where he is treated as nothing more than a babymaker,'' Hwa-yee snapped. ''I'm afraid we don't have a choice Yee,'' Junoon said softly, leaving Kook's mother speechless.
Jungkook gasped as heard what was going on. He was going to be given away to the king and he will probably be locked up somewhere only there to produce babies. He had always wanted to marry for love and now he would have to marry someone who he has only seen once in his life. He remembered the king's cold, dark gaze. It scared him, the king scared him. He didn't want to marry the king. He didn't want to be someone's concubine, merely thinking the word made his heart clench as if someone had squeezed it.
He ran out of his house into the streets. It had grown dark by this time. He was walking down the street when heard footsteps behind him. Before he could turn around someone caught him from behind. ''Well well well aren't you a pretty one,'' a soft voice spoke in his right ear. A shiver ran down his spine when he felt a tounge lick his ear and the mouth nibble his lobe. His breath hitched when a hand sneaked inside his hanbok and flicked a ******. His body cunvulsed and he tried with all his might to push the stranger away, but to no avail since he was too strong for Kook.
Taking in hand Jungkook's jeongi (blouse or jacket your choice whichever you want to imagine) and tore at it and tears pushed at his eyes. The man pushed his chima (skirt) out of the way, and now Jungkook was openly sobbing and screaming for help. His home wasn't far and soon the guard who usually accompanied him appeared with his brother and father, ''Leave him alone,'' he heard his father's deep, powerful voice. The man immediately dropped him and ran.
Namjoon immediately rushed to his brother and held him in his arms as he sobbed, trying to sooth his little brother. Junoon then turned to Jungkook came near and slapped him across the face, ''WHAT THE HELL WERE THINKING?!'' Jungkook stared at his father his wide in shock, his father had never treated him like that. He was always gentle knowing his son is an omega and can thus be very sensitive at times.
''Father why are treating Kook like that! After what he just went through we should care for him and not hurt him more,'' Namjoon spoke in disbelief. Refusing to believe that his father had just slapped Kookie after he was almost raped by the stranger. ''SHUT UP NAMJOON! AND YOU WILL MARRY THE EMPEROR AND THAT IS FINAL. I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT YOU THINK OR WANT, GET IT?!'' Junoon screamed at his sons. ''But father...'' ''I told you to to shut up Namjoon and you Jungkook, do you understand?'' Junoon said now calmer than before. ''Yes father,'' Jungkook replied softly sniffling.
When they reached home and Hwa-yee saw the state her younger son was in and hurriedly took him in his arms hugging to herself. Junoon spoke, ''Jungkook will be marrying the king two days from now.'' ''But...,'' Hwa-yee started to say but Junoon had already left. She turned to Namjoon looking to him for an explanation and he told her everything that had happened and also that a few people had seen Jungkook. Then she realised that marrying the king was the only way for Kook to avoide scandal or he would be ruined.
This was probably the reason why her husband was so angry, she knew now they couldn't do anything so she simply nodded and spoke, ''Well nothing can be done now, let us go inside.'' Namjoon nodded sadly picked his brother up and they all headed inside. Jungkook would now have to obey his father's whim...
