Through the Years
- A Namjin story set in a royal AU -

“I won’t allow it,” Kim Namjoon stated in a matter-of-factly tone.
“If you do that, I won’t speak to you ever again. You’ll be stuck here alone, until the end of time.”
“I do have other friends, you know.”
“True, but I’m your favorite,” Seokjin replied, gesturing to himself with a smirk. “You couldn’t stand not seeing me for more than a few weeks. Admit it.”
The prince only grunted, not bothering to argue. “I’ll stop you, somehow.”
Seokjin’s smile faded. “Look, I’ve already made my decision. I’ll join the army, starting at the bottom, and I’ll climb the ladders if I’m competent enough. That is all.”
“That’s so senseless and impractical!” Namjoon exclaimed. “You could be major right away! Or at least lieutenant or captain! Starting out as a private, with your social status, is utterly ridiculous.”
“I don’t want my blood to have anything to do with my success. I want to be recognized for my own strength.”
