The Suitors | T&J | ✔️

F I F T E E N

Come the weekend, I was asked to be up ready for quite early, as Tae had requested to take me out for the day, which I was interested to see what he had planned.

As more time went on, the more I struggled to understand my feelings for each of these men.

I knew that I felt for both of them, which honestly really didn't help at all.

My Father was also asking me more frequently on how things were going, which didn't bother me that much, but it was putting more pressure on my shoulders.

Jimin opened my bedroom door after I heard him knock, "Taehyung is here"

I nodded, and walked away from my balcony.

I visually relaxed when I saw him, and his boxy smile.

"Good morning" he breathed out, offering his arm to me.

I smiled at him as I took it, "what are we up to today then?" I wondered.

"I know you have done a lot of charity work around the villages here. So I done some digging, and went and introduced to myself to the orphanage you had built, in the village a few miles from here" he breathed out.

I rose my eyebrows.

"And we are going to spend the morning with the children there" he replied, and gave me a soft smile.

My chest felt heavy, how was he so perfect?

"You alright? Do you not want to?" He asked quickly, seeing my expression changing.

I shook my head, "I'm absolutely fine. It's just a very touching thing to even think about doing"

He gave me a soft smile, and with his other hand, he pulled at my palm resting over his forearm, and brought my fingers to his lips as he kissed my knuckles quickly.

As we arrived at the orphanage, I saw the head mistress standing outside waiting for us, she bowed at I looked at her, I remember her face from when I came here a few months ago, to visit the children.

We all exchanged pleasantries before she lead us inside. All of the children were in their best clothes, and I smiled at them all.

"What do we say?" Helena beside me said, with a big smile on her face.

"Your Highnesses" we heard a small quiet voices say, as there was only around six of them, and the eldest two looked around eight years old.

I looked up at Tae who was giving them all such a big smile.

We all settled as Tae and I sat on the chairs to the side as the staff all talked to us about the children. Three of them, who we had learnt two were seven years old boys, and one five year old girl, were playing nicely together on the floor, colouring in with crayons.

The other three, which one was a two year old girl, a one year old boy and a very young baby who couldn't yet sit up, were on their staffs laps.

"Is there anything you need?" I asked them after a little while.

Helena smiled at me and shook her head, "what you send now is very efficient and appreciated, Your Highness"

I nodded with a small smile, I had weekly delivers of fresh meats, vegetables and a lot of other things that came here. It was something that I had put onto the treasury of the crown's books, it wouldn't ever stop without the monarch's say. We weren't a country that was overly rich like Tae's, but we were very settled and comfortable. We put a lot back into Decoris, which in turn came back around to us.

The one year old boy toddled his way over to me, holding a little book in his hands, and gave it to me with a smile.

"What's this?" I encouraged, opening the first page.
