Destined to be (Minsung)

♣️Ch.1 The Bahngs♣️

(Jisung's pov)

Hoping to make dinner on time, I quickly made my way back toward the castle. Once I arrived, I dismounted my horse and then quickly ran off running toward the castle, hoping my brothers wouldn't notice my absence.

Once I got outside the dining room doors, I dusted myself off and walked in. My oldest brother Chan, widely known as the king of Miroh, says, "You're late."

"I'm shocked he even made it to supper this time." My younger brother Seungmin remarked.  "Guys, come on, he's not always late." Changbin, my other older brother, says
Coming to my defense.

I roll my eyes as they yet again make fun of me. "Thank you; at least someone here likes me," I said in the most dramatic voice I could muster.

Seungmin just rolls his eyes, while Chan looks like he has something important to say.
"What's wrong Chan?" I asked while trying to scrape the mushy carrots off my plate.
"I got a letter from the Levanter Kingdom that says we need to go there urgently, so I already sent a reply confirming we'll be on our way there tomorrow," Chan said in a worried tone.

"How long will you be gone?"Seungmin asked, confused.  "Not me, we" "They asked for all of us to come, I of course said yes so you'll pack your things tonight," Chan said, as Seungmin and Changbin glanced confusedly at one another.

"Alright, what time will we be leaving?" I ask, feeling nervous about having to see the king again.

"6 am, don't be late to get up, and Jisung please pack all your things tonight, we'll be there for over 2 months," Chan says, glaring at me as we remember when I made us 2 hours late.

I just put down my head, there's no need to defend myself when everyone knows he's right.

"That concludes this, everyone go pack now so you can sleep on time. I'll be in my study if anyone needs me." Chan announces, standing up and dusting his pants off, pushing the chair in as he walks out.

I glance around at Seungmin and Changbin, trying to see if they look nervous too, or if it's just me.

"Are you guys nervous?" I ask, turning red as they both turn and give me confused looks.
"No? Why would we be nervous, we've been there loads before."Seungmin says, standing up to dust his pants off. "Yeah, are you nervous Sungie?" Changbin adds, in a teasing tone.

Great, now I feel clammy as they're both staring me down. I quickly stand up and push my chair in, running out of the dining room.

"You up Sungie?" I hear Chan's voice, barely above a whisper. I just scoot over and pull my blanket up, inviting him in.

I feel the bed dip beside me as Chan lays down.
"What's wrong?" He asks as he starts rubbing my head. A thing he always does when he can tell something is stressing me out.

"I'm nervous, I don't know why." Lie
"Everything will be ok, there's nothing to be worried about. Me and Changbin will protect you and Seungmin from anything that could happen." Chan whispers, kissing the top of my head.

He's always acted so parental since our parents died, it's been hard without them but having Chan here is great. I know he feels stressed and scared about being a king. He hadn't finished his training when our mom and dad died. But he's managed to be brave and rule a kingdom.

I look over at him and pull him into a hug, squeezing tighter when he returns it. Tears start pulling at the bottom of my eyes, if Chan feels it he doesn't mention it. Just hugs me tighter as I fall asleep
