The Princess and Her Seven Knights (BTS Fanfic)

C H A P T E R 5

The next few days were filled with rigorous training, Y/n spared no one. She also made Taehyung clean the stables, she had smiled innocently when he groaned in despair. The others made a mental note to not get into her bad books, ever.

It was the boys' first afternoon where they were allowed to rest for the day. They wanted to go around Aurora for a while, it was their first time there and they had heard that it was beautiful. The boys were raised in the Kingdom of Scintilla and had never seen the place fully, but Y/n was adamant on not sending them anywhere. She moved about the training area sorting the equipment with Hoseok and Jimin trailing behind her.

"Y/n please don't be so heartless," Jimin pouted, but Y/n paid no attention to him. "We really want to go to the town market."

"For the last time Park Jimin, I said no." She said firmly, her tone leaving no room for arguments.

The two were about to protest but Y/n fixed them with a glare. "Another word and I'll cut your tongues off,"

The boys pursed their lips, knowing that she was fully capable of doing so. Groaning, they set themselves down with the rest, despair visible on their expressions.

"Hard luck," Namjoon sighed.

"Ah, I wanted to buy some delicious food. I'm tired of eating the bland food here," Yoongi complained.

"And I wanted to buy an umbrella--oh maybe a paperweight or some marbles--" Taehyung was cut off by Jungkook hitting him upside the head.

"You don't even need them, what do you want to buy them for?" He asked, shaking his head.

"First of all, stop taking advantage of me every time," He frowned but it made him look cute instead so the others laughed. "Second of all, they are useful items! You can use the umbrella to--"

"I got it!" Jin exclaimed suddenly causing the younger boy to protest for getting cut off for the second time in a span of two minutes.

"What?" They asked, no one paying attention to Taehyung anymore.

"There is a way I can convince Y/n to send us to the market." He smiled in such a mysterious way the others felt a shiver go down their spines.

He got up and ran back to the house where Y/n was, leaving the boys to wonder what he was thinking.

"Do you think he…" Jimin trailed off, gulping.

"From the way he said it, I think he’ll seduce her with his looks." Six pairs of eyes widened at Yoongi's straightforward remark but he brushed them off. "As much as I hate to admit it, Jin hyung can have any woman fall at his feet easily and Y/n is pretty too. It's a good match."

Jungkook felt a tugging in his gut when Yoongi said that but he ignored it.

"This is Y/n we're talking about," Namjoon said, worried. "It is more likely that hyung will come out with a few of his ribs broken if he tries something funny,"

"I know right! She made me clean the stables if you remember when I was just a little, ah, flirty," Taehyung said, shuddering at the thought itself.

The boys agreed to that silently, it seemed more realistic. After what seems like eternity, Jin hyung came out, smiling ear to ear with a scowling Y/n trailing him.

"I think he succeeded," Jimin nudged Jungkook who, for some reason, did not like the idea that he succeeded at all.

"I hate the effect that you guys have on me in such a short span of time," Y/n said the moment she reached them, making Jungkook's stomach drop. "Because I'm going soft on you, tomorrow we are training for an extra two hours." She said and walked towards the gate.

"She is coming with us?" Namjoon asked.

"Yeah, that was her condition," Jin replied. "She couldn't resist my charm after all."

"I respect you hyung," Taehyung said in awe.

"As you should," Jin patted himself on the back. "You can never go wrong with food."

"Food?" The boys asked in unison.

"Of course," Jin looked at their confused faces, "I stirred her bland noodles with some spices and she liked it, though she didn't admit it. I told her I wanted to buy some spices for tonight's dinner and she relented on the pretext she came with us."

The others blinked, before bursting out in laughter. Jin looked more confused than ever.

"Tsk-tsk hyung, we thought you were a man," Jungkook joked, relief flooding through his veins though he didn't know why.

"Ya this kid--" Jin started but the others shook their head at him and walked to join Y/n who was waiting impatiently for them.

When they reached her, Y/n cleared her throat. "If you make any mischief, I'm going to kick your butts and you will be grounded. You have two hours to do whatever you want there."

"Whatever we want?" Taehyung asked in excitement.

She sighed. "Yes Taehyung, whatever you want."

He jumped in excitement and yelled, "Group hug!"

Immediately all the boys but Namjoon and Jungkook hugged Y/n who looked like she was about to snap at them. But Jungkook noticed a flicker of adoration passing through her eyes before it was masked.

He smiled to himself. Maybe she was really getting soft after all this time.
