Taehyung was petty yes, it wasn't something new. The reason he asked to be taken to Harlem is because he's petty.

Jungkook had left to attend to a meeting, his son was sleeping with enough maids and guards watching him. His baby naming ceremony is tommorow.

The whole palace is busy preparing for tomorrow, Taehyung knows outside the palace won't be any different.

The moment the carriage came to a stop Taehyung came down with a smirk. Harlem his former home. He told the guards to wait outside before making his way inside.

Most of the omegas were in the common room. His eyes meets his only friend almost immediately. The smirk on his lips is quickly replace with a genuine smile.

"Taehyung?"

"Juhun" Taehyung smiles receiving the warm hug from his friend.

Juhun is the only omega in Harlem who didn't hate him, he is the only person here who believed he was telling the truth right from the beginning

"I am one of your believer Taehyung, believe me we are big in numbers"

The male use to say. It's months later he knew the omega wasn't joking, indeed they were people who believed he was telling the truth expecially when the gifts started coming in

"You don't even know me why would you believe me"

The male had smiled.

"I don't need to know you to believe you, you gave me enough reason to believe you at the townsqure."

"Are you not suppose to hate me?, I mean the man you want got me pregnant."

The male had laugh so hard. It's then he told him everything. Juhun had only slept with Jungkook once, the king has never requested for him since he came to Harlem.

He was only staying for the money, he was a poor orphan and didn't really have anybody to go back to.

Juhun then told him about one of the military Alpha who fancies him, Taehyung had advised him to go for it and the male had agreed and well it turned out good the last he heard.

"You have no idea how much I wanted to see you, I came back then boom every where was in choas, good choas though. The entire kingdom was shut down"

Juhun had traveled to a nearby kingdom to purchase goods he wants to start selling here in Achena.

"I tried coming to see you but you know people like us are not allowed in the king"s quarter" He laughs

Taehyung joined him, he knows the male is not bitter about it. Juhun was the definition of a good and a kind soul.

"I'm sorry Juhun, how was your travel?"

"Nobody is talking about me, you are here Taehyung, You gave the kingdom an heir" Juhun's voice was getting louder. 'You saved Achena, you freed the king from his curse, we all should be bowing at your feet lord Taehyung"

Taehyung laughs at the title. Namjoon had told him the people decided his new title. He hates it..well.. maybe just a little?

"Stop it Juhun" They both laughed

Taehyung had really forgotten the other people in the room. The more he looks at them the more he realizes his plan is for the best.

"Come on" Juhun dragged him towards his chamber.

__________

"Juhun I'm so happy for you"

"I am happy for me too"

His friend just told him the progress of his relationship and how they are planning to mate soon.

"When do you plan on leaving Harlem"

"We are mating after your son's ceremony Tae, then I'm moving to the military mate quarters. What about you, any plan on mating the king soon?"

Taehyung sighs, he doesn't even know if Jungkook wants to mate.

"I don't know Juhun, I haven't even forgiven him yet"

Juhun laughs. "Taehyung it's ok to hold on to grudge considering how much you needed him and he wasn't here for you"

"I don't know how long though"

"Forgive him when you are ready, I hope you do it soon though"

"Juhun"

"Taehyung the king is a man that has been lied to and decieved. He had seek solution for more than a century, at some point has giving up all hope. Giving it all up was his coping mechanism. We will never understand Taehyung, because firstly we have not lived that long and secondly we don't know what it means to live with a curse."

"What are you saying?"

The male laughs

"I'm saying a lot of things but firstly listen"

Taehyung nods

"The king was a lonely and lost man looking for something he didn't know he was missing, something he didn't understand himself"

Juhun let out a sigh meeting his eyes

"Look at all of us here Taehyung, are we not pretty? What do think other kings will do if they had us in their palace"

"Mate all of you so you never have to leave?"

"Exactly, but the king wanted none of that, because deep down we are not what he was missing in his life. He gave us the freedom to leave whenever we wanted. He has slept with 90 percent of us just once Taehyung, then he's back to searching unknownly to him."

Juhun smiles holding his hand

"People use to say it's because he just loves omega. Yet he never touched us again after the one time we met. never tried to claim us and keeps us all to himself. He was still empty no matter how many of us he slept with, he kept looking, he kept searching.

He was unconsciously looking for something to fill that emptiness in him."

"Maybe all he wanted was a child" Taehyung murmurs with a frown, king Jungkook don't seem to care about anything but his son

"Partly yes, don't forget he had already come to peace with his curse before Harlem came to be, he was lacking more, not just a child."

Taehyung chuckles. "What are saying?"

"I'm saying you are what the king also needs, you are what he has been searching for, you are also the missing piece in his life."

Funny

"I don't think so Juhun, a child is everything he wanted, he really doesn't care about me"

"There are things a child won't do for him Taehyung"

Taehyung shook his head "j-

"Do you know why I think you are the one missing piece waiting to complete his life?"

Taehyung shook his head

"Firstly I knew about your existence before you even came to the palace"

" How?"

"Through Joda" Taehyung is bitter just hearing that name.

"I over heard her complaining to Mee about the king not even looking her way after he came back from King Yoongi's ceremony because of an omega he met there. Honestly We were all expecting a new house mate here when the king returned."

They both laughed.

"But everyone was shocked when the king came back with no omega by his side. It's later we heard the king met a blonde hair blue eyes omega he couldn't stop thinking about and who had also refused to follow him back."

Taehyung felt his heart quickens

"Plus at the townsqure, you needed to see how he was sweating profusely, he was so worried about you everyone could see he clearly cared for you. It was shocking to see, I mean we're talking about king Jungkook"

"This made me feel good to hear atleast I'm not the only who cares"

They both laughed.

Taehyung really does care about the king.

"Seize the moment Taehyung you can have love and the throne" Juhun said with a smile

Taehyung chuckles shaking his head

Then Juhun was looking serious again.

"Taehyung listen, I heard other omegas wants to try to seduce the king, to well get pregnant too, expecially Joda. She's upto something Taehyung, keep your eyes open. Also find a way to kick her back here"

Taehyung laughs pulling his friend into a tight hug.

"Mate and leave Harlem soon Juhun"

Juhun pulled away with a frown, eyes searching his.

"What are you planning Taehyung?"

Taehyung smiles shaking his head.
