Chapter 2

"Then? What happened?" Seokjin asked in a cold tone. Hiding his smile.

If the rumours spread and taehyung got suspected for having affair with some one, he'll be sentenced to death then and there. That serious the issue is. But all taehyung care about is the life of stray cats. How can Jin not like him?

"They grown alot and want .. want more food... so..*sniffs* so..I..I feed them my food too.. *sobs* I.. *sobs* I.. got hungry and want food.. *sobs* I.. want to go to ask the court lady but.. *hiccups* but a guard come and said there is a royal kitchen next to garden.. *sobs* I went there.. *sobs* it's all wood. *Hiccups* suddenly that guard came and smiled at me.. he try *sobs* he try to touch but jhangu attacked him." Taehyung finished with too much hiccups and stutters. Even the thought of that incident scares him.but what more scares him now is his majesty.

It was a normal day for taehyung. He took his food and books and informed the court ladies and guards that he'll be reading books in the garden so no one have to disturb him. He used to read books in garden sometimes before. But after finding the cats, he use that as a cover up and start to spend the whole day in garden since it's not like Jin gonna visit him in day time because the emperor is busy with royal courts and things. Even at nights Jin never visited him except for the two times: one when they had non consent sex and two when taehyung broke his ankle.

That was before Jin know about taehyung and developed feelings for him. Taehyung is still not aware of Jin's feelings for him.

"Jhangu?" Jin asked with a raised eyebrow. Realisation hit taehyung. His eyes widened, he start to cry again.

"That's my kitty. *Sobs* please don't kill him. He really helped me. Else..else..*hiccups* that guard could have killed me..." Taehyung cried.

Jin can't help but to smile at taehyung. Today he was in discussion with the ministers regarding political matters in the pavilion near garden. He saw taehyung's court lady, guards and others standing near the entrance of garden. When Jin asked, the court lady said taehyung is studying in the garden, so they are waiting for him. But the bizzare information is taehyung always spending the whole day in garden, and ordered no one to disturb him the entire day.

So Seokjin walked in into the garden and saw the matress with empty tiffen boxes and books. Jin ordered his men to search around. Few minutes later, they found taehyung crying and shivering near the other end of garden which was abandoned a long ago. At first Seokjin thought taehyung lost his way and crying in fear. but then a guard informed a man ran away from where they found the concubine. And here they are. After enquiring taehyung for hours, making the poor boy cry, here he is. Having taehyung in his lap, holding him like a baby. Comforting him for not to cry over a cat.

"Are you saying he tried to touch you but the cat attacked?" Taehyung nodded from Seokjin's neck.

"Did you see where the cats attacked him?"

Taehyung shook his head.

Seokjin's blood boiled at the thought of someone else trying to touch his concubine.

"Stay here" Jin ordered before walking out of the room, leaving taehyung cry again thinking emperor must be mad at him. Or at worst, sentence him to death.

--------

Jin walked out of concubine's palace to his personal prison base in royal palace. His men bowed to him. Jin just nodded and walked in where a tall well built man is tied up. Seokjin lifted the sleeves and saw rashes from cat claws and dried blood. Seokjin smirked while taking the spear in his hand, swirling it skillfully while walking to the tied up man.

"Y..your majesty..." The man looked at Seokjin with atmost fear.

"Oh finally you recognized me?" Seokjin mocked.

"I'm sorry.. I'm sorry... concunbine taehyung asked me..I don't know anything.. concunbine taehyung insisted me.." the man pleaded making Seokjin scoff.

"So.. concunbine taehyung asked and so you agreed. You're not at fault right?"

The man nodded.

"Yes.. I deserve death.. please ..please show some mercy.. your majesty"

Seokjin looked at him; frowning while rubbing his chin as if thinking.

"Correct. Concubine taehyung asked you. so you agreed. It's not your fault. Concubine taehyung has to be the one to get punished."
