Father's Whim

...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...
