The Queen's General (✓)

45

The man in uniform walks on the long hallway of the palace gripping on the canvas, he wants to tear it in pieces before burning it, his jaw clench cursing under his breath.. he can't believe that someone would think of this kind of humiliation in his part

Jeon himself arranges the fireplace located in the barracks. Soldiers watch him throwing the pieces of wood on the wall of it but none of them dares to ask him what he's planning to do

It's still summer to think that the general is feeling cold to start a fire

Some one called the captain telling him what the general is doing at the moment, Hoseok came seeing his friend holding a pair of matches but he calling his attention

"General Jeon.. what are you doing?

Jungkook glared at him and Hoseok knows the man is in no way in the good mood for jokes

"what happened? What are you so mad? Did I do something that troubles you?"

Jungkook shifts his eyes to the canvas laying on the ground upside down.. he thinks if they need to see it before destroying it. Hoseok notices what he's looking at and picks it up.. the Captain releases a gasp then grit his teeth staring at it

"what the fck is this? Really! How?! What they are thinking while making this! This piece of.... This is bullshit!!!"

Hoseok clenches his jaw.. everyone knows the Captain is a jolly person but once get angry, he has to do something to release it

"the young queen received it while I'm with her and that thing is unpacked! The receiving stations didn't even inspect it.. they gave it to her as it is! sealed!"

Hoseok looks at his friend

"what! They didn't know the protocol?! Why give a sealed package to the queen?! What if it can hurt her?! This is so reckless!"

Jungkook laughs mockingly. It is the same thing he said to her moments ago

"I want them all replaced from that station captain and give them a punishment!"

Hoseok lower his hand and keep it upside down so no one in the barracks can see it and face Jungkook

"I'll take care of it.. leave it to me! How's the queen? what did she say about it?"

Hoseok furrowed his eyebrows, she knows they are the one with the general last night having some good time. He felt remorseful. If it doesn't because of him the queen wouldn't doubt his friend

"She asked things like if the one made it are with us while doing that! I know she's trusting me but the way she asks me... I know I've hurted her unintentionally. She... She didn't speak for a while, she got so quiet that made me so afraid...  the kiss I gave to her.. for a moment she's not returning it and I feel so.. so.. I'm afraid! Thoughts ran to my head that she would change her mind by marrying me"

Jungkook has unshed tears staring at his hands still with stick of matches. His eyesight blurrs and Hoseok comes to hug his friend. He feels the hurt and worries in his voice

"I'm so sorry... I'll go to her. I'll explains things. I have to clear her doubts on you"

Jungkook pulled back to look at him, he feels pathetic like a small child telling his hyung things that he should be the one handling

"But she said she believes me after I tell that I didn't touch anybody last night"

"Yes, of course general.. I'm with you till you leave us to go to her majesty. You were telling the truth"

"but did you have to talk to her? I mean.. I'll look like defensive, I'm not hiding anything from her captain.. I love her so much that I'm so afraid that I might break her trust"
