The King's Arrangement (BTS X Reader)

Chapter 26

Jungkook:

Jimin, me and the rest of the security team parked the car along the street in the village and silently followed behind YN and Soobin, who had dismounted and were walking their horses.

YN had stopped to speak to a group of village children and my gaze was instantly drawn to her. As I watched YN in the village with the children, I couldn't stop imagining her being the mother of our children, a little boy with my dark hair and her eyes or a little girl with her pretty smile.  The feeling almost overwhelmed me and I wanted to confess everything right then and there, but I couldn't do it.  Not here, not now. It wasn't the right time or place and I knew it.

"You okay?" Jimin placed a hand on my shoulder, pulling me out of my stupor.

I nodded my head, knowing I needed to get my attention focused back on those that relied on me to protect them. "Yeah. I'm okay. Just got something on my mind." I turned my attention back to Soobin and YN, feeling the bile rise in my throat at the tender way he gazed down at the princess. 

YN had knelt down as one of the village children was placing a crown on her, one constructed of bright pink construction paper, glittery hearts and tiny little dandelions. "This is much prettier than any tiara I have," YN exclaimed to the little girl who presented her with the crown.

The little girl blushed then hugged YN's neck. "It's not as pretty as you."

YN pulled a hairpin from her pocket and pinned the crown in place. "There.  Now the wind won't blow it away."

The girl's eyes lit up in happiness. "You're going to leave it on?"

"Of course. I am honored to wear such a fine creation."

As YN and Soobin moved on from the crowd of children, I could see the little girl that had given YN the crown in the center of her friends. This day, this special moment with the princess would be something she would remember forever. My heart steadily fell even more in love with YN. She had the most caring personality of anyone I had ever met in my life. She had a tendency to make the person that she was talking to feel like the only one in the world. And she was definitely the center of my world.

YN continued to walk her horse, guiding the well-behaved mare down the village street, stopping occasionally to greet the people. Many came up to shake her hand, ask for a photo, or simply say hello and be the recipient of her smile. She was never harsh, never in a hurry. Her manner was always kind, her hands always gentle and her smile always sweet.

"Such a beautiful soul," Jimin said softly to me, his eyes on the princess. "She surely is unlike anyone I have ever met."

Nodding my head, I never took my gaze from her. As we approached the bakery, I could see her eyes light up in excitement. I hurried to her side, eager to see that smile directed towards me. "Would you like something from the bakery princess?"

I grinned in elation when she turned her pretty eyes to me. They were filled with the warmth that was missing when her eyes met Soobin's. "Would it be too much trouble?"

I shook my head. "Of course not. Caramel macchiato, correct?"

YN's already bright smile grew even brighter. "Yes! How did you know?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "You mentioned it before. I just have a good memory."

"Well thank you Jungkook. A caramel macchiato would be lovely."

I turned to Soobin. "And for you, your highness?"

Soobin tore his gaze away from YN and turned to face me. "Black coffee pleases."
