Yoongi fixed his tie as he gazed at himself in the mirror.
The golden wrist watch on his wrist shone brightly.
Yoongi looked at the time on his phone and sighed as he placed the device on the table again.
His soon to be husband seems to be running late.
He sat in one of the private room in a high toned french restaurant.
He and his soon to be husband are supposed to meet for the first time before they announce their engagement.
Yoongi ordered a champagne for him and patiently waited for Park Jimin.
Soon another figure walked in and the latter knew who he was.
Yoongi stood up to greet the other.
"Nice to meet you. I am Jeon Yoongi. "He said in a polite tone and bowed.
"Nice to meet you too. I am Park Jimin." He heard the reply in a dulcet voice. And the younger bowed like him.
Yoongi gazed up and met the eyes of others.
His eyes widened for a second but he quickly composed himself.
Park Jimin is a gorgeous. He looked like a Angel to him.
Yoongi found himself staring at him. But he soon realised his action and cleared his throat.
Jimin was uncomfortable. And he could see it.
"Please take a seat." he said and gestured towards the chair.
The younger nodded and sat down. Yoongi joined him.
"Let's order food first." said Yoongi after a while of silence.
Again the other nodded wordlessly.
Yoongi stopped himself from scowling.
The other is also getting forced to marry. He figured it out. Jimin's expression said it all.
Well it's not like he can do something. He's also in the same boat.
The dishes were ordered and served as both of them sat silently in their own world.
They understood everything. It was like they communicated silently with their eyes.
Soon it was all over. They were about to leave the suffocating atmosphere as Yoongi walked Jimin to his car.
Jimin turned around to face him when they stood beside the vehicle.
Yoongi put his hands in his inner coat pocket and pulled out a small jewellery box.
The elder passed it to Jimin who took it quietly.
Jimin opened the box and found beautiful pearl drop silver earrings.
"I am sorry." said Yoongi in a dejected tone. And the tears Jimin was holding all day long escaped his eyes.
Jimin placed the box in the car and took out a same looking box.
He stretched his hand forward for Yoongi to take it.
Yoongi following his action and grabbed it.
He opened it to find a very expensive looking golden writs watch.
The elder nodded and opened the backseat door of car for Jimin like a gentleman.

Jimin without a word sat down and the car drove off.
Yoongi stared at the way the car disappeared.
He again looked at the watch.
The present were exchanged in the content of their first encounter.
It's been years since Yoongi wore this watch. But today he felt like wearing it.
He doesn't know why ? But he wants too.
A call broke him from his daze and he shook his head a little.
Yoongi walked to the bedside table to take his phone to answer a business call.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
( The night before )
"It's a Christmas party. You should have some fun with Taehyung there." said Dr. Yugyeom.
Jungkook leaned against his car as he stood in front of Kim's mansion.
"They are not the parties where you have fun. They are classy parties where you act mature and all posh. "He reminded.
And heard the counselor chuckled.
"It all depends on the way you look at it. Change that perspective of yours and I am sure you'll find yourself enjoying."
"Whatever." muttered Jungkook and ended the call after finishing the conversation.
Taehyung came out of the mansion looking as enchanting as ever.
Jungkook could stare at him forever.
The way other's dark locks flew with wind. The pink lips and red hued cheeks just added more to his beauty.
Jungkook don't know what took over him and he acted like that but he was not complaining. He loved seeing all flustered up.
As they say in the car and drove to the destination. Jungkook decided he's going to make the best of tonight.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Taehyung gaped at the enormous Christmas tree that stood between the partly hall.
The tree looked alluring.
The snow on it was obviously fake but it made the tree more graceful.
Though few days were still left for Christmas. Taehyung was excited to celebrate it with his dad and Jimin.
He felt his fingers being intervened with other and he turned to look at Jungkook in shock who acted nonchalant.
"Let's greet Mr. and Mrs. Hyun."said Jungkook and Taehyung nodded.
The elder tugged him towards the hosts.
"Ahh Jungkook--Taehyung. It's been a while since I saw you both. "Exclaimed Mr. Hyun when he saw the pair approach them.
"Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Hyun. How are you both? "
"We are fine. You both look as attractive as ever."
"Thankyou."
"Here." Mumbled Jungkook and gave them a bouquet of finest flowers.
"Thankyou. The flowers look lovely." Replied Mrs. Hyun as she took it with a smile.
"You both enjoy the night. We will see you both soon." Said the elder and Jungkook nodded with a smile.
Mr. Hyun held his wife's hand and walked away to greet other guests.
"They make a beautiful couple. "Mumbled Taehyung as he watched the elderly pair kiss and smile at each other.
"Yeah." the other agreed.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Taehyung smiled at everyone who came to talk to Jungkook.
It was all business talk and Taehyung was bored.
The atmosphere was great. He certainly didn't want to hear what goes on in the office.

Jungkook noticed this and excused themselves.
"Are you bored ?" Asked the elder when they were alone.
"Huh ?" Taehyung only looked at him confused and he chuckled.
"Come on let's get ourselves some drink." he said and pulled Taehyung towards the bar.
Jungkook ordered mocktails for them as
Taehyung stared at him.
Jungkook gave him a smile and passed his drink.
Jungkook leaned against the bar and pulled Taehyung towards him.
Hands moving to hold younger's waist. Taehyung stood in between his parted legs.
Taehyung flustered looked down.
But it didn't last long as Jungkook held his chin and moved his head up.
"How's your dad and Jimin hyung ?" Asked Jungkook.
Taehyung was still blushing from the close distance between them.
However he tried to ignore it.
"Yeah they are all fine." he replied timidly.
Jungkook nodded.
"Oh."
"And how did you use to celebrate Christmas ? "Asked elder curious.
And Taehyung eyes practically brightened as he told him about the way he celebrated Christmas with his parents.
Jungkook just smiled and listened to him ramble.
"Mom used to make her delicious chocolate cake. "
"Dad still gives our servants christmas presents. "
"Before our wedding I never celebrated it without mom and dad. I always used to came back for holidays even when I was studying in England."
"It was so fun."
Jungkook listened to him amused. He was caressing other's waist encouraging him to speak more.
The elder even asked a few questions to which Taehyung replied enthusiastically.
Jungkook learnt something new about him that Taehyung can talk for long if he likes the topic of conversation.
Jungkook liked the way his eyes sparkled as Taehyung continued to talk.
He smiled at his husband.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Taehyung was looking everywhere except at Jungkook.
He soon realised his ramble and a red hue covered his cheeks.
He was embarrassed.
The younger was about to apologise. So he looked up to Jungkook only to find hin watching people dance.
Jungkook soon turned to him. And the younger's breath hitched.
Their lips were too close. Too damn closed.
Taehyung gulped and backed away a little.
Jungkook offered his hand to Taehyung.
"Would you like to dance with me ? "
The younger froze. He never danced with Jungkook after their wedding.
Heck he's not a good dancer. Taehyung remembers how he used to step on the toes of his dance partener.
Taehyung definitely doesn't want to do that to Jungkook. He will mortified if it happened.
But there was something different about Jungkook. The way he looked at him with so much intensity that made him feel weak in his knees.
Taehyung's expression made it too obvious for anyone to know how he felt.
Jungkook's eyes softened.
"Don't worry. Nothing will happen."
So with a slight nod he placed his hand in Jungkook's.
The elder grinned and tugged him towards the dance floor.
Some classical music played in the background as Jungkook guided them to a quiet corner of the dance floor.
Jungkook boldly pulled Taehyung and placed his one hand on the waist and the other was interlaced with his.
Taehyung shyly put his hand on Jungkook's shoulder and other was held by Jungkook.
Both moved to the music slowly.
Taehyung was continuosly looking down to avoid stepping on Jungkook toes.
And the elder chuckled.
"Don't look down. I will be okay even if you step on my toes. "
"When I learnt dance I used to practice it with my cousin who stepped on me like half of the time. So trust me it's okay. Yeah ? I can manage. "Assured Jungkook.
And Taehyung looked up at him with his wide curious eyes.
"Really ? "
"Yeah. She was really bad. Like really bad. She gave up on dancing soon after."
"And I was like if you were just going to give up than why the hell did I suffer through the pain ?" Said Jungkook in over exasperation.
And Taehyung giggled.
"No I am serious. All that effort and pain for nothing."
Jungkook felt the younger relax in his hold and he couldn't help but grin.
Taehyung was smiling widely. They moved freely with the music.
Both of them enjoying the time together.
Jungkook's idea of making Taehyung comfortable worked. And he was actually having fun.
Maybe Doctor Yugyeom was right. He just needs to see things from different perspective. Thought Jungkook with a smile.
But he's not going to admit it in front of him.
Taehyung heart beat was beating fastened as he and his husband stared at each other.
He will never forget this moment.
It was so special. And he will treasure this memory in his heart forever.
••••••••••••••••••••••••
After dinner Jungkook saw Taehyung yawn.
"Tired ? " He questioned.
"Yes." mumbled the younger tired as he blinked his eyes.
Jungkook chuckled at the adorable behaviour.
"Okay than wait for me outside. I'll join you after saying our byes to Mr. Hyun and Mrs. Hyun." Said Jungkook and the younger nodded.
The elder watched Taehyung walk away and turned to find the hosts.
With a smile on his face Taehyung moved to exit.
All the actions of his husband are leaving him flustered and bothered.
He finally feels like their is a hope for their marriage to be successful.
And he's not going to let this opportunity down.
Taehyung was in his thoughts that he didn't notice someone coming towards him.
Taehyung collided to other's chest as he immediately backed up from shock.
"I am sorry." He apologised and bowed.
"Taehyung ? " Was the word that escaped from other lips.
The latter's eyes widened at the familiar voice. And he quickly looked up.
"Alex ? "
Taehyung's heart dropped as he stared at the other in shock.
He didn't have any idea how to feel about that.

8 110Iferes: Slaves Of The Gods
Iferes are creatures that roam the world. They are everywhere, and anywhere. From the deepest seas, to the highest mountains. From the heart of volcanos, to the never melting glaciers. Some are weak, some are strong. Some are calm, some are bloodthirsty. What they all have in common, is that they fight for survival. For hundreds of thousands of eras, humans and Iferes lived in a world of war and blood. Ifere against Ifere, Ifere against humans, and humans against humans. But one day, in a very distant past, the twelve Mystic Iferes, and the twelve greatest kings of humanity, joined hands to end that cruel era. Together, they created a contract. A contract that, once made, would bound the two parties, and could only be broken in death. Millions of years went by, and that period of war faded in legends. And a child was born, a child that would change everything. For bad or worse, only time would say. ----------------------------- Hello, everyone! Just a few warnings before you read the novel, so you won't be disappointed. First of all, as you can probably tell, I took more than a few ideas from pokemon and the like. It's almost impossible to write a novel where creatures (Iferes) have a major part in, and not relate it to pokemon. However, as you will see as the novel goes on, I tried (and I think I succeeded) in making a universe of my own. I am sure you will like it. Secondly, compared to pokemon, my novel is a lot darker, as you probably noticed by the synopsis. I also try to give a wild west vibe to it, if you know what I mean. Thirdly, you should check out my fanfic Broke: A Clone Wars Tale. Biased as I am towards it, I think it's a great story, and so do many of my readers. It will also give you a glance at what writing style to expect. Fourth and last, I feel like it's only fair that I tell you I am a student. As much as I love writing, my main priority will always be my studies. After all, writing is just a hobby for me, at least for now (fingers crossed). As such, there probably will be interruptions in the release schedule here and there, but, if you followed me on my other novel, you will know I rarely missed an upload, and, when I did, I always made up for it. So, with all that said, I hope you can give the novel a try, and leave a review. If you are a new reader, I hope we can have a lot of fun along the way. If you read Broke, then we already made a journey together, and I hope you will follow me on a new one. Also, you should check out my patreon, there you can get chapters in advance (although they will all be published normally after a while), and a few other benefits. I appreciate every bit of support you can give me! patreon.com/reis123 PS: there will be romance, but no harem or reincarnation. The MC is just someone who was born and raised on this world.
