The next morning arrived and the first thing that Jimin could think about was that his ears looked a lot pointier now. His physical transformation was complete and at the moment he was trying to get used to his appearance in front of the bathroom mirror. He touched the tips and pinched them, squishing his biceps. He was familiar with this image; he had seen it in his dreams he had been in this body for centuries but it still felt very unnatural. He had been used to something else after all.
When he exited their bedroom, this time alone because Jeongguk had left already he noticed his people looking at him in stunned. Their eyes would be glued to him for a few second and then they would remember to bow. He didn’t recognize any of them and probably the same happened with them. He was just a name, an old story that had suddenly popped out of nowhere.
So while he strolled in the palace, stalling his arrival at the conference room he tried to take in everything. The Disee palace was completely frozen and he knew why. After his death they would have been stuck in an endless winter and everything around him would be crystalized. He wished to get the full of his powers back so he could bring warmth into this place once more but he still felt like a stranger in his own body.
The fact that he bumped his head at the top of the doorframe forgetting his change in height was a very clear proof of that. Jeongguk chuckled at his little accident while the rest of the people in the room stood up to greet him. Jeongguk, Jin a few generals and officials were all sitting around a glass table with his best friend in the far end of it.
“My King, we are so glad to have you back. I am Radius the general of the army” One of them told him and Jimin smiled.
“It’s good to be back.” He said and headed at the top of the table where an empty seat awaited. Jeongguk was seated right next to him and watching him there gave him a sudden feeling of relief. He sat down and took a peak at the papers in front of him, mostly information about Joe and his family. “Considering the hunter situation…”Jimin began saying but he felt like someone was watching him. He raised his head and watched as mark was burning holes in his face with his soft eyes.Jimin squeezed his eyes and looked at him back waiting for someone to speak but the ginger just kept staring. “What?”Jimin asked him.
“You look weird” Tae commented without even thinking about it.
“How could you talk like that to our king! Something like this could be punished…” Radius began saying making Tae flinch with his loud voice.
“No he won’t”Jimin said and signaled him to sit down. “What do you mean weird? I am still me”
“Are you?” Tae asked him.
“Just because I got a glow up it doesn’t mean I am not your best friend do you think you can rid of me that easily?”Jimin asked him, while raising and eyebrow and crossing his arms on top of his chest.
“Glow up?” Tae asked and chuckled “I guess you’re still okay”
“So then after that confirmation that I am still myself let’s talk about the hunter situation, shall we?”Jimin said and flipped the pages of the papers. “I want to go and find Joe”
“What?” Jeongguk asked surprised and everyone had the same shocked expression on their faces once Jimin announced his intentions.
“I want to talk to him. Joe is a nice kid and has been hurt by the wolves. I think we can change his mind and even in the best situation forge an alliance so we won’t have to worry about being unprotected against other hunter clans. He sees things differently.”
“He probably hates you now you know. He thinks you broke your word” Jeongguk reminded him and his green eyes suddenly turned dark.
“That’s why I need to go.”
“I’m sorry but there is a problem.” Jin interrupted him. “Anything hunter related needs to be approved by the Council first. We will already get in trouble for what happened with the killings and all.”
Jimin let out a sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose, his eyes closed while he was thinking. This was exhausting already and he was annoyed by everything. Things were not like this a while back. He didn’t have to have every decision he made approved. As it seemed after his death the scale of power had been balanced out.
“Then send the paperwork or whatever. I am going to find him.”Jimin said and Jin nodded before he stormed off willing to do anything Jimin asked him but at the same time wanting to avoid Jeongguk, who seemed not eager to spare him not even a glance.
“About the wolves. Have they all left?”Jimin continued the meeting. A girl that was sitting on the table with beautiful hay colored hair, looked at him with a shy blush before he began talking.
“Hello your majesty. I am Ava the head maid here. Yes, they have already left except of a few injured wolves that we have been taking care of and the Alpha’s son. His beta is injured so he insisted to stay with him.”
“He is still here?”Jimin asked and the girl nodded her eyes stuck on his face. The king couldn’t help but smile at how obvious she was. Well, it honestly felt well to be desired again and he had spent some time admiring himself in the mirror thinking that certainly he had been looking good. When he smiled the girl almost melted and fell back on her chair. Jeongguk observing the scene coughed so he could grab his attention. “Yes?”Jimin asked him with a smirk.
“Nothing my king please continue”jeongguk replied.
“So is he still here I see. What are we going to do about that?”
“Simply nothing you will wait until he leaves” Jeongguk told him almost being sure about what he wanted to do.
“Hmmm”Jimin pretended to be thinking. “That wouldn’t be fun, would it?”
“Jimin on’t. It’s over now.”
“Oh, believe me it’s not over until I say so. Don’t worry I won’t kill him. But, anyways” He said and clapped wanting to get everyone’s attention. “Our goal right now it’s to resolve the problem with Joe and his clan. We don’t need another war and they know about the portal. Which is…bad. So start preparing all the necessary procedures. Once we receive the yes from the council I will be off. You are all dismissed.”
The people pushed their heavy chairs back, others loudly and others with care and left the room with bows and greetings for the king.Jimin nodded to all of them and waited until they left. Jeongguk too went off ahead knowing probably that he would want to stay alone.
“Hey you, Ginger buffoon, wait” He called Tae and the boy stopped on his track and turned around.
“How did you call me?” Tae asked and approached him.
“What was that before?”
“Well I watched my best friend who would never kill a fly literally step on someone’s head so I was shocked, what can I say?” Tae said and sat next to Jimin, the seat Jeongguk previously was sitting on. Jimin actually pushed his chair back and put his legs on the table, finally relaxing. “Very royal like of you” His friend commented looking at his feet.
“This is tiring okay? I am very tired just by all the thinking I had to do. I haven’t been used to this yet. It’s been so long. Also yeah, I wouldn’t kill a fly still but these people, especially that blonde bitch…I hate her.”
“Same. She is annoying isn’t she?” Tae said with a disgusted expression on his face and Jimin laughed.
“Thanks”
“For what?”
“For still being my friend.”
“What the heck? I would never stop being your friend. You are a king now. That’s like another reason why I should be your friend” He joked.
“Maybe you wouldn’t like the new me.”Jimin shared his worries with his and the red head rolled his eyes. “I am still me though”
“You always worry too much. Even if you grew a second head or a third ****** I would still like you. King” He told him while wiggling his eyebrows and Jimin chuckled.
“That’s good to hear. I have to have a coronation too. The stupid Council will visit at some point. Oh, Gods the more I think about all of these the more unwilling I am to return to my duties.”
“Come on. You will do just fine.”
“I hope so. I still feel weird but everything is slowly coming back. Tae…should we visit my lad’s ruins one day?”Jimin asked him.
“You want me to come with you?”
“Yeah.”Jimin replied and stood up after wiping some dirt off the table that he had gotten there with his shoes.”I think it’s time for me to see Yoongi” he said
“And I Jhope”
“Well, good luck friend.”Jimin said actually pitying both Tae and himself for having been involved with people like them. The next moments would surely be tough.
