The Crown Prince (Taegi AU)

Chapter 29

The guard aimed the arrow at Taehyung and pulled the string which caused Taehyung to panic a little.

Is this how I die?

Taehyung couldn't believe it. All he wanted to do was see the crown prince just once! He wanted to make sure that the man was okay. Was he going to die unjustly for wanting such a small thing? Definitely not!

He was never going to accept such a fate!

Taehyung ducked his head and avoided the arrow by an inch before running on the roof and climbing down on the balcony of Yoongi's room.

Before going inside the room, he turned around for the last time, sticking his tongue out and teasing the guards who were desperately trying to catch him, "Who'll want to play around with you, idiots?"

The guard re-aimed his arrow at Taehyung and Taehyung smiled as his eyes went wide and his hand reached out to open the door to the room from the balcony. He fled the place before the arrow could even leave the bow.

Taehyung sighed in relief once he stepped inside the room, "That was easy."

"It sure was."

"!!!" Taehyung snapped his head and looked ahead at the man who had spoken, "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Shouldn't I be the one asking that?" Hyun stood up as he counter-attacked Taehyung's question with another question.

Taehyung took a few steps back as he wondered what was going on.

This was clearly Yoongi's room but instead of Yoongi, the only person Taehyung could see was Hyun.

Was this a trap?

The more he thought about it, the more warning signals sparked up in his mind. Where was the crown prince? Was he really safe?

"Where's the crown prince?" Taehyung asked immediately as he looked around.

Hyun shook his head as he replied, "That's not important right now."

"How can that not be important?!"

Hyun sighed as he looked at Taehyung's confused and worried expression, "Forgive me, young prince. What you did just now was a crime."

"..."

"You can't just climb the royal palace wall and enter the crown prince's room without permission like this." Hyun moved a step closer to Taehyung as he continued speaking with an unimpressed expression, "If it was someone else, they would have surely been beheaded for this."

"Does that mean since it's me, I'm free to go...?"

"..."

Hyung suddenly wondered why the crown prince liked this man so much. He was clearly a bit... Weird and Yoongi was even weirder to find an interest in this weird prince who was not really 'princely'.

"Please don't be offended." Hyun responded before holding his right hand up and ordering, "Arrest him."

"Huh?"

Suddenly the main door of the room opened and a few guards entered after having heard the order.

Taehyung took a few steps back and decided to climb back out from where he had climbed in, but even the balcony was now blocked by guards who had climbed up in order to catch Taehyung.

To put it plainly, he was cornered.

For the first time in his life, Taehyung was going to experience what it felt like to be thrown in jail.
