Jeongguk felt bad for what he said but he couldn't dare go looking for Jimin again. Jimin didn't need his mere existence, for he only brought bad luck. Jeongguk believed that the moment he'd enter Jimin's life, it would probably all turn to hell, and he didn't want anything bad to happen to his precious boy. 

On the other hand, Jimin was out of the castle in the few minutes that followed his conversation with Jeongguk. He took his silence as a silent confirmation, that the young noble was just politely saying that he didn't want him around and Jimin couldn't blame him. It was weird Jeongguk even helped him to begin with, so the fact that he stayed in his room for more than two weeks was mind boggling to him to say the least. 

Jimin was mad for some reason, soon after he felt heart-broken. He wondered why he did even feel that way, for Jeongguk had no obligations towards him. Jeongguk didn't have to do anything from the kind things he had done to him but Jimin still somehow felt betrayed, and he almost called himself an ungrateful brat for how sharp his thoughts against Jeongguk were.

When the latter didn't say anything, Taehyung decided he had to be more specific. “How did it go with that noble? I think he's really nice. I also think he likes you.”

Jimin was looking at Taehyung's eyes, but at the question, he couldn't keep the eye contact anymore so he shifted his gaze to look at his feet. Taehyung frowned at the abrupt change of demeanor. He had previously supposed that Jimin would have already befriended Jeongguk for he stayed in the castle for a long time, but Jimin's expression was almost sullen, earnest and morose, seemed to say the complete opposite and Taehyung felt his heart clench. 

“He did it just out of pity. He wants nothing to do with me.” Jimin muttered with a pout, and Taehyung wanted to hug him again so bad but he knew he had to listen to what he had to say first. “He refuses to show me his face, he refuses to tell me his name, he refuses t
