Mistress Kim

2. Turtle

Jungkook walks along the beach in his boots. Its evening anyway, and no he is not in the mood to feels the soft sand and cold water under his feet under the starry night. It sounds too romantic which become ironic considering his current situation. He will be married to one annoying princess that he just met and spend the rest of his life without a chance to find his true love. Even Namjoon is luckier to have able to choose his partners.

The young prince sigh, feeling the cold breeze sweeping his hair when he saw a figure sitting on the sand not too far from him. He looked back to the dining area which now quite far behind, but he is still in the private beach area no? The curious boy walks toward the figure on the ground, one hand standby on his sword which hanging on his left waist.

Their surrounding is pretty much dark since they are quite far from the dining areas. Only the bright moonlight is the main light which reflected by the calm ocean.

"Hi..hi..hi ..." a small giggle heard from the small figure in front of him.

Jungkook titled his head. Curious on what is the boy doing on the sand, his back on Jungkook. Yes, it seems like a boy with pretty much lean figure. His mullet is hiding his nape and his thin cloth makes Jungkook wonder if the boy even feels cold.

"What are you doing?" Jungkook asked

"Oh .... look these baby turtle is fighting hihihi.. hiihiihi ..." a deep voice confirmed that the figure in front of him is a boy, but the cute giggled? Why it sounds so inviting.

"Turtle?"

"Yess!!! Look!" The boy straightening his back and pointing to the sea direction where a little movement can be seen above the sand. 

"So ... these baby turtles are breaking out from their eggshell, which have been left here by the mama turtle deep deep under the sand! And then ...." the boy stands, facing the ocean.

"They crawling in tiny ... slow ... slow ..." the boy makes small move with his both hand bent in front of his chest making bunny move, and walk in tiny to the water. 

"Until they reach the ocean and meet their mama turtle!" another sweet giggle come out from him. Jungkook look at the boy, strange feeling creeping in his stomach every time he heard that giggled.

"And that's the story of the baby turtle from Narita Kingdom!" the boy turns around facing his intruder. A large boxy smile displayed in his pretty face which illuminated by the moonlight. Jungkook freeze.

The boy skipping to Jungkook and stop in front of the frozen prince. A smile still plastering in his face.

"You don't know the turtle story?" he asked, but Jungkook didn't response. His eyes fixated to a pair of brown eyes which reflect a thousand stars on it.

"No?" he asked again. Jungkook still didn't response. His face is blank. The beautiful boy is just stand one foot away. Surely, he didn't understand the personal space, but Jungkook didn't mind. He wants to move closer though. What is this smell? Peach and strawberry? 

"Hey, you don't speak?" the boy tittle his head to the side trying to observe the stranger. His beautiful eyes trailed to Jungkook outfit. While what Jungkook really want to do is take out his cloak and cover the small figure in front of him with it. This boy really wears such thin clothes!

"Hmm ... You are not from here are you?" he asked again, making pouty lips while thinking which Jungkook swear to God is the cutest things and that urge to touch that lips. Why is this boy pouting so cute for?

"I never saw you ...." He suddenly stops when his eyes trailed to the far back of the dining area behind Jungkook. A realization hits the poor boy.

"Ahh... you are with the Prince troupe? Ahhh from the Euphoria Kingdom yes?" a bright smile spread on his face, which again got Jungkook stomach weird.

"What are you doing here? Gosh why are you so shy? Hihihi" a small giggled heard from the boy again, and that is enough for Jungkook to back to his sense. A strong wind blow from the ocean and the boy shivered a little bit.

"Why are you wearing such a thin cloth outside?" Jungkook take out his cloak and handed it to the boy.

"Ah, no thank you, I am used to it. I am leaving here! I mean there in that palace" the boy refused. But Jungkook take the initiative to approach the boy and quickly put his cloak on the boy before he has any opportunity to step back.

"Are you a prince?" Jungkook asked, satisfied that the boy bow covered in his warm cloak.

"Yes. I am Prince Kim Turtle Taehyung." The boy bowed dramatically. Jungkook chuckle a little at his antic.

"As if." The boy named Taehyung giggled.

"Are you a prince too?" he asked.

"Yes. I am prince Jeon Jungkook." Jungkook smile and the boy chuckled thinking that Jungkook also joking with him. It was silent for a moment with Taehyung trying to wear the cloak properly saying it will make him look like a real prince while Jungkook staring at the boy.

"Now I look like a real prince yeah? I didn't know a guard from your kingdom wear such a beautiful cloak, and cloths, ... boots, .... And have a real nice sword ...." Taehyung mumble inspecting his new friend from head to toe. Admiring all the attire that look so royal and suddenly another realization hit him.

"Prince ... Jungkook..?"

"Hmmm ...?" a smirk plastered in Jungkook faced, knowing that the cute boy just realized that he is indeed the real Prince. Jungkook cannot hold his laughter when Taehyung eyes wide open with mouth gapping and shuttering like one seeing ghost. 

"I am .. I – am so.. sorry Your H... Your High... ness.. I am ..." Taehyung shuttering, shocking with the fact.

"ha ha ha ... you must look at your face .... Hahahaha"

"I am... I am ... sorry ..." and with that the boy run away.

"Wait ... haha.. wait" Jungkook still trying to handle his laughter when he realized that the boy already disappears from his front. He was turning around to see the boy already run far ahead. Jungkook quickly run behind the boy.

"Hey ... wait" the boy glance back once, before fastening his pace like his life depend on it. Somewhere along the way, he drops the cloak into the sand in the middle, then run again as fast as he can since the heavy cloak now gone.

Jungkook took his cloak which lying in the white sand. The pretty boy already gone into the back of the dining areas, lost between all the people in there. Jungkook took his step into the dining area. A small smile plaster in his face.

"Where were you? You okay?" asked Namjoon who quickly approach the young prince once he enter the dining areas.

"Yeah ... I just found a little turtle ..."
